"Stand up, salute!" the students of Class 1, Grade 1 shouted in unison. "Hello, teacher!"
"Hello students, please sit down."
"Yes!" the students in Class One responded in unison. Although Qian Chen hadn't been teaching them for very long, his arrival had saved them from Zhou Yi's clutches, and they were all very grateful to Qian Chen.
After having everyone sit down, Qian Chen continued, " The Freshman Tournament is only a month away. Starting today, students, prepare for the Freshman Tournament with all your might. Those of you who are close to breaking through, go all out to strive for that breakthrough. In the Freshman Tournament, an extra level of Soul Power makes all the difference. Those of you who need to practice teamwork should practice it Duoduo. Students, you must take this seriously." Qian Chen started with a speech.
"Yes!" all sixty-six students in the class responded in unison.
Next, Qian Chen explained all the rules and precautions of the Freshman Tournament, as well as advice to each student, before speaking again, "Alright, students, you can now leave the classroom with your teammates and find a place you like to discuss tactics, practice teamwork, or find a team from your class to compete against. I'll be in the classroom; if you have any questions, you can come and find me. Go ahead."
"Yes."
Seeing that Zhou Yi had already assigned groups for the Freshman Tournament, Qian Chen guessed that this grouping was very likely Tang San's doing, and there was nothing Qian Chen could do to change it. He dared not really push Tang San too far.
Soon, most of the students left the classroom and began training or discussing with their teammates in various corners of the academy.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao didn't leave the classroom; instead, they came to Qian Chen. Qian Chen looked at the three of them and asked, "What's wrong? Yuhao, do you have any questions for me?"
Huo Yuhao stepped forward and said, "Teacher, we know that something big has happened at the academy recently, and you've been very busy, so we didn't dare to bother you. The three of us have been training hard these past few days."
Qian Chen nodded and said, "That's good. Keep it up."
At this moment, Wang Dong said with a smile, "Teacher, we've done more than just train hard. Yuhao and I have already developed Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"Oh? How was the result?" Qian Chen asked, suppressing his displeasure so as not to spoil everyone's fun.
"Of course," Wang Dong said generously. "Teacher, let's go outside and show it to you."
"No need. You two can just use your Martial Soul Fusion Skill here and attack me."
"Yes, teacher," Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong replied simultaneously.
Soon, Xiao Xiao stepped aside. Qian Chen stood in the center of the classroom, with Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong Qian Chen front of him. The two held hands and began to merge their Soul Power. Watching the two holding hands, Qian Chen felt extremely awkward. He really wanted to find an opportunity to enter Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness and explain to him to stay away from Wang Dong. However, after their Soul Power merged and they had Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Qian Chen couldn't be sure if Huo Yuhao would listen to him completely regarding Wang Dong. If he unintentionally revealed this to Wang Dong, it would be a huge problem.
Soon, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was ready. They unleashed a palm strike together, shouting, "The withering amidst brilliance, the Golden Road!"
Qian Chen was struck by the Golden Road, and his body turned golden for a fraction of a second, frozen in place. After that fraction of a second, the control effect wore off, the golden color on Qian Chen's body quickly disappeared, and everything around him returned to normal.
Qian Chen looked at Wang Dong and encouraged him, "Yes, the effect is very good. A large-scale crowd control skill, even the teacher couldn't escape it. It's not that the teacher wasn't controlled, it's just that the difference in strength between you and the teacher is too great, and the teacher was controlled for too short a time, so this skill has no practical value to the teacher. However, when you level up, or use this move against enemies of the same or even lower level, the effect will be very good."
Qian Chen objectively and fairly evaluated the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, "The Withering Amidst Brilliance, The Golden Road." Hearing Qian Chen's affirmation, Wang Dong was overjoyed; he was so excited to have controlled Titled Douluo that he almost jumped for joy.
Then, Qian Chen turned to Huo Yuhao and continued, " Yuhao, do you remember the two Titled Douluo elders of the Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago that I told you Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei? Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, ' Two Extremes Stillness Domain,' is similar to yours and Wang Dong's 'Withering in Brilliance, Golden Road,' both being extremely rare stagnation-type Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Your Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Wang Dong is the same as theirs, and it will definitely become very powerful in the future."
Qian Chen didn't mention a word about Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's wrongdoing, but after hearing Qian Chen's words, Huo Yuhao felt a tightness in his heart and subconsciously took two more steps away from Wang Dong Wang Dong, trying to create some distance between them. Qian Chen saw Huo Yuhao's actions.
After discussing their respective cultivation methods and the use of Martial Soul Fusion Skill with the three of them for a while, Qian Chen said to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, " Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, you two go out first and close the classroom door."
"Yes," Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao replied in unison. The two left the classroom side by side and gently closed the door. When only Qian Chen and Huo Yuhao remained in the classroom, Huo Yuhao finally showed a hint of fear and said, "Teacher, what should I do? Now, whenever I see Wang Dong, I find him increasingly handsome. Am I going to turn into a woman?"
Seeing Huo Yuhao's nervous expression, Qian Chen knew it wasn't too late. He asked, " Yuhao, didn't your teacher give you a million Gold Soul Coin? Didn't he tell you to go and find one or more girlfriends? Didn't you go?"
Huo Yuhao lowered his head and said, "Teacher, I'll go, but... but..."
"But what? Tell me," Qian Chen asked.
"But, teacher, I've realized I don't like them at all," Huo Yuhao said urgently. Realizing he didn't like his female classmates, Huo Yuhao panicked even more.
Qian Chen frowned and asked, "Then what kind do you like?"
After Qian Chen finished speaking, he activated his Eye of the Mind, carefully observing every change in Huo Yuhao's heart. Qian Chen was also afraid that Huo Yuhao no longer wanted anyone but Wang Dong.
Next, what appeared in Huo Yuhao Huo Yuhao's mind was the image of Wang Dong with long hair and dressed as a woman, which made Qian Chen so angry that she really wanted to tear him apart.
Fortunately, the images of Qian Guyi, Jiang Nannan, and Xiao Xiao appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind one after another.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao had other women in his heart, Qian Chen felt much better. It turned out that Huo Yuhao was still a womanizer and wouldn't be hopelessly devoted to only Wang Dong.
He knew Huo Yuhao was a womanizer, but Qian Chen had his own principles. He couldn't be like the Clear Sky Sect, making his niece, his disciple, and the members of his Angel Mountain Manor be with people he had no feelings for against his will.
Soon, the bell rang, signaling the end of class. The students of Class 1, Grade 1, returned to the classroom one after another. Qian Chen looked at the whole class and said, "Alright, that's all for today. Class dismissed. Everyone go back and cultivate diligently."
Watching Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, and then Xiao Xiao's departing figure, Qian Chen's lips curled up. Huo Yuhao was such a womanizer, and Tang San's plan to completely bind Huo Yuhao with Wang Dong's Martial Soul Fusion seemed doomed to fail sooner or later! He could just wait for Huo Yuhao's womanizing views on love to take hold on their own.
