For the next few days, Qian Chen spent almost all his time in the library with the Auspicious Beast. Qian Chen continued to rely on his Infinite Memory to quickly memorize the contents of the books; the auspicious Auspicious Beast, like his page, helped him carry the books.
Ju Zi also appeared at the library from time to time. After a few days, Ju Zi got along very well with Qian Chen and Auspicious Beast.
Qian Chen discovered that Ju Zi was a very approachable person. She didn't speak in a flattering way, but she always made people want to listen, and she also had a leader-like quality. No wonder she got along so well with the Auspicious Beast on the first day.
One day at noon, the Auspicious Beast said to Qian Chen, " Qian Chen, it's time for lunch."
Qian Chen quickly flipped through the last book, still looking at the auspicious Auspicious Beast with doting eyes, and said, "Okay, let's go now."
The Auspicious Beast grabbed Ju Zi and said happily, "Sister Ju Zi, let's go, the three of us together!"
Ju Zi didn't refuse. She'd already been invited by the Auspicious Beast several times these past few days. "Okay, let's return the books Teacher Qian Chen finished reading first."
"Hmm." After the Auspicious Beast finished speaking, it and Ju Zi hurriedly began to pack up.
Today, Feng Luan was making an eighth-level composite Defensive Soul Tool and didn't come to have dinner with Qian Chen. Soon, the three of them arrived at the fifth floor of the cafeteria, ordered a table full of delicious food, and began to enjoy it.
"Teacher Qian Chen, I heard that the academy sent Zheng Zhan, the Venerable One, to the Shrek Academy to teach Soul Tool, which is why they switched you to teach at our Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. I've only seen you reading these days, I wonder when you'll be teaching us?" Ju Zi asked while elegantly eating.
"Classes will begin on the last three days of this month. The first two days will be dedicated to classes, and the third day will be a day for students and teachers from your college to ask questions, which I will answer." Qian Chen told Ju Zi his plan directly.
Seeing a hint of happiness on Ju Zi's face, Qian Chen added, "Actually, I've already spoken to Dean Jing Hongchen, but the lecture venue and class time are still being coordinated, which is why we haven't issued an announcement yet."
"Thank you, Teacher Qian Chen," Ju Zi said hurriedly.
"No need to thank Qian Chen. When Qian Chen gives a lecture, Sister Ju Zi, you have to come and listen too," said the Auspicious Beast beside her.
"Okay, I'll definitely be there," Ju Zi said.
After lunch, Ju Zi bid farewell to Qian Chen Auspicious Beast returned to the Crown Prince's residence.
"Your Highness, Qian Chen will be taking Martial Soul classes at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy for the last three days of this month. The first two days will be regular Martial Soul knowledge classes, and the last day will be for open questions." Ju Zi told Xu Tianran the news.
" Ju Zi, your information is outdated. Dean Jing Hongchen sent me the message several days ago," Xu Tianran said Bingbing.
Upon hearing Xu Tianran's words, Ju Zi felt a little nervous and said, "Your Highness, it is Ju Zi's fault for only finding out this information now."
"It's alright. This was the arrangement when Qian Chen came to the Sun Moon Empire. He just told Jing Hongchen in advance. You found out before the announcement, which shows your thoughtfulness," Xu Tianran said magnanimously.
"Would Your Highness wish to meet this Teacher Qian Chen?"
"Of course! A twenty-four-year-old Titled Douluo, I must meet him in a few days. Since there's a Q&A session, I've always wanted to ask if he has a way to regenerate a severed arm," Xu Tianran said.
In truth, Xu Tianran also harbored a longing for the Shrek Academy. It had a history spanning ten thousand years and possessed a powerful foundation. Sometimes he would fantasize that if he were to enroll in Shrek Academy with his powerful Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power, entering the Inner Court and becoming a Shrek prodigy wouldn't be a problem.
Upon hearing Xu Tianran's words, Ju Zi immediately reminded him, "Your Highness, you cannot ask him personally. Let me find a student in the academy who has a disabled relative or friend to ask."
Hearing Ju Zi's reminder, Xu Tianran suddenly realized that his yearning for his severed arm to regenerate had become somewhat irrational. He hurriedly said, " Ju Zi, go and make the arrangements."
"Yes."
A few days later, the day finally arrived for Qian Chen to give a lecture at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy had prepared the largest tiered conference room for Qian Chen well in advance.
Unfortunately, it was still packed with people. There were many teachers and students who came to the scene hoping to hear Shrek Academy's Martial Soul cultivation instruction.
Although Xu Tianran had already taken his seat, he frowned as he watched the crowd still squeezing into the conference room. To his left was a little girl of about thirteen or fourteen, and to his right was an old man, none other than Jing Hongchen.
"Dean Hongchen, is this the arrangement of your Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy?" Xu Tianran coldly questioned.
Jing Hongchen, her face falling, replied softly, "Your Highness, I didn't expect it either! The students are so enthusiastic. Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll make adjustments after today's event, and we'll limit the number tomorrow."
Xu Tianran nodded, but the little girl beside him objected, saying, "Grandpa Hongchen, isn't this a bit much? Everyone's here to listen to the lectures and learn. Isn't it going too far to not let your academy's students in?"
Looking at the little girl, Jing Hongchen could only ask, "Princess Tianzhen, what do you think is best?"
The little girl was Xu Tianran, Xu Tianzhen's only younger sister. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Let's build a classroom for this Shrek Academy teacher that can accommodate all the students in the academy."
At this moment, Xu Tianran spoke up. He said to Xu Tianzhen in a doting tone, "Tianzhen, this isn't your Mingdu Academy. Alright, stop fooling around."
Xu Tianzhen smiled slightly and said, "Okay, brother."
Then, Xu Tianran turned to Jing Hongchen: "I think my little sister's opinion is good. But we need to see if this Qian Chen has real talent. If he can help our Sun Moon Empire's Soul Master advance further in their cultivation, let alone building a classroom, we'd build him a city."
Seeing that her brother was actually supporting her, Xu Tianzhen hugged Xu Tianran's arm and said, "I knew you were the best, brother. You always supported Tianzhen's idea."
Xu Tianran looked at his younger sister with doting eyes; this was perhaps the last bit of familial affection he could hold onto.
Jing Hongchen looked at the brother and sister, who had made up their minds so easily, but his face was full of worry. Right now, every department of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy needed money, so where would they find spare money to repair classrooms for Qian Chen?
Xu Tianran said directly, "Dean Hongchen, don't look so gloomy. After the class, Qian Chen is indeed talented. I'll approve the money and land for you."
Hearing Xu Tianran's promise, Jing Hongchen's sorrow turned to joy, and a smile appeared on her face. Xu Tianran, however, cursed inwardly, "Old fox."
Finally, it was time for class. Qian Chen stepped on the Seven Kill Sword, his feet barely touching the ground, and flew straight to the podium before moving his feet and standing steadily on the platform.
"Is that sword Flying Soul Tool? It flies so steadily!"
"It's not a flying Soul Tool; it didn't emit any sound of soul guidance operation."
"That sword is the legendary Seven Kill Sword."
Upon Qian Chen's appearance, the students in the tiered conference room immediately erupted into a lively discussion.
At this moment, Qian Chen looked at the tiered conference room, which was already packed with people. He hadn't expected so many people to come today. "Hello, students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. I am Teacher Qian Chen from the Shrek Academy, and I have been invited to give you a Martial Soul lesson."
As soon as Qian Chen finished speaking, the students shifted their attention from the Seven Kill Sword to Qian Chen.
"Wow! Qian Chen is so handsome!" Xu Tianzhen couldn't help but exclaim.
