Chapter 89: Stop Showing Off, Qin Ming!
Over the past two years, she had already grown used to living with Lin Yuan. Suddenly, having to live separately now felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Seeing Xiao Wu like this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
He reached out and lightly flicked her smooth forehead, teasing her:
"What's wrong? Don't tell me you can't bear to live apart from me?"
Leaning closer to Xiao Wu's ear, Lin Yuan lowered his voice and grinned mischievously.
"You really are a 'rogue rabbit' who's greedy for good looks, aren't you?"
"Ah!"
Xiao Wu's face instantly flushed red like a ripe tomato.
Stamping her foot in embarrassment, she raised her small pink fist and lightly punched Lin Yuan.
"Nonsense!"
"W-Who's a rogue rabbit?!"
"Alright, alright, stop showing off!"
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes.
"If you keep this up, people who don't know better will think you two are a couple. Come on, let's check the girls' dormitory first."
After Dugu Yan said that, Xiao Wu immediately didn't dare make any more playful movements.
Walking in front, Dugu Yan's lips curled slightly upward. She also had a favorable impression of Lin Yuan. How could she let this little rabbit succeed so easily?
See? Just one comment, and she's already shy.
So cute.
Because school had not officially started yet, and most noble students had luxurious homes within Heaven Dou City and rarely stayed on campus, the dormitory area felt rather quiet.
Under the girls' guidance, Lin Yuan, as the only boy, boldly walked straight into the girls' dormitory area.
Xiao Wu's room was arranged next to Ning Rongrong's, located in a place with excellent scenery.
When the door opened,
A faint fragrance greeted them.
The spacious living room was covered with a thick wool carpet. A delicate crystal chandelier hung overhead. There was a soft leather sofa and a massive floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Wow!"
Xiao Wu's mouth opened wide in amazement, her eyes sparkling like stars.
"This academy is ridiculously rich, isn't it?"
"How is this a dormitory? This is basically a presidential suite in a luxury hotel!"
Compared to the shabby Dorm Seven at Nuoding Academy, this place was practically heaven.
Ning Rongrong proudly raised her chin.
"Of course! This place is specially prepared for nobles and geniuses. How could the conditions be bad?"
"Well, Xiao Wu? Now that you're living next door to me, we can visit each other and chat anytime!"
After settling Xiao Wu in, the group accompanied Lin Yuan to the boys' dormitory area.
Along the way, they naturally encountered some students who had remained on campus.
When the proud noble students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy saw Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu, two unfamiliar faces dressed plainly, they initially looked somewhat disdainful.
A few self-styled flirtatious male students were even stunned by Xiao Wu's delicate and adorable appearance, eager to approach and start a conversation.
But the moment they noticed the two women beside her, they immediately backed off.
Ning Rongrong, the little witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
Dugu Yan, the Poison Douluo's only granddaughter!
Both were famously difficult to provoke, with overwhelming backgrounds.
Who would dare act recklessly in front of them?
"Well, looks like you two have quite the deterrent power in the academy," Lin Yuan joked, watching the students avoid them like the plague.
Ning Rongrong giggled.
"Obviously!"
"This young lady is one of the academy's tyrants!"
After touring the dormitories and familiarizing themselves with the route to the classroom, Ning Rongrong blinked playfully at Lin Yuan.
"Oh right, Lin Yuan, Chief Meng said earlier that you'll be placed directly into Heaven Dou Class One."
"That's where the academy's elites are most concentrated. Coincidentally, we're all in that class too~."
Unlike junior academies, advanced soul master academies did not divide students by grade levels.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy, in particular, had a strict hierarchy.
Students were divided into Heaven Dou Level, Heaven Zhi Level, and Heaven Wei Level, based on soul power and talent.
Heaven Dou Level was the highest tier. Only Soul Elders above rank thirty or exceptionally talented soul masters could enter.
Naturally, the resources and teaching staff were also the best.
A few days later.
Morning sunlight shone brightly.
The classroom for Heaven Dou Class One was spacious and bright, with tiered seating capable of holding over a hundred students.
Yet fewer than thirty people were present.
After all, it was an elite class, valuing quality over quantity.
As the class bell rang, a tall and handsome young man walked onto the platform.
He appeared about thirty years old, wearing neat platinum-colored clothing that made him look sharp and energetic.
Though smiling, his eyes carried a faint sharpness and wildness belonging to a powerful soul master.
"Good morning, students."
His voice was loud and firm, instantly suppressing the whispers in the classroom.
"Today, our class welcomes two new students. Before that, I will briefly reintroduce myself."
"My name is Qin Ming. Martial soul: Inferno Grey Wolf. Rank fifty-five Attack-System Battle Soul King."
"I am responsible for teaching your tactical training, combat practice, and martial soul application."
Lin Yuan sat in the third row in one of the best seats.
On his left was the obedient and adorable Xiao Wu. On his right sat Dugu Yan, her figure curvy and posture relaxed.
As for Ning Rongrong?
Because she arrived a moment late and failed to secure the "treasure seat" beside Lin Yuan, she could only sit in the back row, angrily poking Lin Yuan's back with her pen to vent her frustration.
Dugu Yan leaned close to Lin Yuan's ear, her breath fragrant, and whispered:
"Lin Yuan, Teacher Qin Ming is no ordinary person."
"He only joined the academy a few years ago, but quickly convinced everyone with his strength. In no time, he was promoted from a Heaven Wei instructor to a Heaven Zhi instructor."
"It's said he graduated from some unknown small academy, but his talent is extremely terrifying."
"He's even been praised by the three Education Committee members as a genius second only to the youngest Titled Douluo, Tang Hao—someone expected to become the continent's second-youngest Soul Emperor."
"Although he's officially only a Heaven Zhi instructor right now, at his cultivation speed, he'll definitely break through to rank sixty within three years."
"When that happens, he'll become a true Heaven Dou-Level gold-grade instructor."
"The academy values him greatly and intends to nurture him. That's why he's currently teaching our class."
As she spoke, Dugu Yan suddenly remembered something.
Last time, Lin Yuan seemed to mention Qin Ming, but afterward focused entirely on Qian Renxue and said nothing more about him.
Now that Qin Ming himself was standing right in front of them, Lin Yuan would probably write something in his diary again, right?
Lin Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Qin Ming on the stage.
But inwardly, he found it amusing.
"An unknown small academy?"
"Isn't that just Shrek Academy?"
At that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly thought of something and began writing in his diary.
[After enrolling in Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I didn't expect Qin Ming to become my teacher. I remember Qin Ming graduated from Shrek Academy.]
The girls: Graduated from Shrek Academy?
