Qin Ming was very polite. He first gave a respectful salute, then spoke stubbornly:
"Dean, I still insist on my principles. If any noble family or faction wants to send their juniors here, they must pass my assessment before I accept them."
Hearing this, Zhi Lin smiled helplessly. Stroking his beard, he said gently:
"Don't worry, Qin Ming. This time it really is a genius. He isn't a junior sent by any noble family or faction. Wang Li, come out and introduce yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Li stepped out from behind Zhi Lin and said in a calm and confident voice:
"Hello, Teacher Qin. My name is Wang Li. I come from Lijia Intermediate Soul Master Academy. I am nine years old. My martial soul is a mutated Blue Silver Grass, and my soul power is level twenty-five."
When he finished speaking, Qin Ming's eyes widened in disbelief.
At such an age, with such soul power,if he went to Shrek Academy, Headmaster Flander and the other teachers would probably be extremely happy.
Zhi Lin was very satisfied with Qin Ming's expression. The corners of his mouth lifted as he teased:
"Well?"
Qin Ming nodded, then looked at Wang Li and said:
"I'll accept this student. But there's something I need to say in advance, Wang Li. I am very strict with my students, so you must be mentally prepared."
"If you back down at a critical moment or refuse to follow instruction, no matter how good your talent is, I will expel you."
Wang Li looked at Qin Ming's serious face, smiled slightly, and said:
"I understand, Teacher. Since I started cultivating, there has been no hardship I couldn't endure."
Thinking about it, Qin Ming agreed. To possess such soul power at such an age, even with outstanding talent, one must also be diligent and hardworking. His expression softened somewhat, and he truly acknowledged Wang Li's entry into his class.
Seeing that the two got along fairly well, Zhi Lin nodded inwardly and said:
"Very well. Wang Li, from now on you will study in Teacher Qin's class. Qin Ming, arrange his accommodation and answer his questions. I'll take my leave."
Immediately afterward, Qin Ming and Wang Li said one after the other:
"Goodbye, Dean."
"Take care, Dean."
After Zhi Lin left, Qin Ming said to Wang Li again:
"Come with me. I'll arrange your living quarters first, then introduce you to the situation here."
Wang Li followed Qin Ming.
Walking ahead, Qin Ming spoke unhurriedly:
"First of all, the large area of campus in the back mountain has been allocated by the three deans to our Heaven Dou Royal Team Reserve Training Camp."
"I'll arrange your accommodation first and complete the registration. After that, your three meals a day will be delivered by staff. You won't need to do any cleaning yourselves."
"The academy will not let trivial matters affect your cultivation. You may order food, but in my class, do not do so. Your diet will be arranged by me…"
Hearing this, Wang Li suddenly interjected:
"Um, Teacher, I have a very big appetite. Back at my previous academy, I could eat the amount of four or five people by myself."
After Wang Li said this, Qin Ming noted it mentally, glanced at him, and continued:
"Don't worry. The academy won't let you go hungry."
"The academy will eliminate all your worries. What you need to do is cultivate. There isn't enough time today to introduce you to the others. Morning classes have already ended, and the afternoon is for cultivation in the corresponding mimic training environments."
"Tomorrow morning, I'll introduce you to everyone and officially begin classes. My curriculum starts with physical training. When your body reaches its limit during physical training, you will then fight against other students."
"On a real battlefield, enemies will not wait until you are at your peak to entangle you. Therefore, fighting under extreme conditions is the core focus of training."
Wang Li admitted that although Qin Ming's training method was somewhat single-minded, pushing one's potential under extreme conditions was indeed an effective approach.
However, as for physical training, he did not really care. All of his martial soul talent was focused on recovery. Trying to force out his limits through physical training would be very difficult.
That level of consumption might not even be faster than his recovery. Even without using soul power, with each breath he could control the rhythm, balancing consumption and recovery on his own.
Qin Ming continued speaking:
"You will cultivate on your own in the afternoon. Your martial soul is mutated Blue Silver Grass. As a plant-type martial soul, it is the easiest to find a suitable mimic cultivation environment. Heaven Dou Royal Academy is built directly within a mountain range. You can find a place where your martial soul and soul power are most active."
"That's all for the current curriculum. You should understand what kind of place this is. In the next one or two years, all unqualified students will be eliminated. The remaining ones will form the first and second teams of the Heaven Dou Royal Team."
"After you form teams, I will also take you to experience some real battles. At that time, there will be new requirements for you. So never think you can rest easy. Only by constantly improving yourself can you remain here."
Wang Li naturally had his own plans for coming here, but there was no need to say too much in front of Qin Ming:
"Alright, Teacher. I believe I can persist until the end."
Qin Ming nodded inwardly. Such soul power at such an age amazed even him. Those threats were half real and half bluff,if necessary, he would use some compulsory methods to push Wang Li to cultivate harder.
They soon arrived at the dormitory area. Since there were many buildings here, and he worried Wang Li might not adapt well, Qin Ming arranged a villa for him alone.
Originally, a villa with a small courtyard was meant to house four people. For now, Wang Li would live there alone. When new members arrived later, they would be arranged as his roommates.
After that, they completed the registration. Once Wang Li finished filling it out, Qin Ming took it away. Not long after,
Staff members brought him six sets of school uniforms. Two of them were very elaborate, with long robes and cloaks. They did not look like everyday wear and were probably formal attire for important occasions.
The other four sets were much simpler and were clearly for daily use.
Looking at the six sets of uniforms, Wang Li sighed inwardly. As expected of a royal academy supported by the Heaven Dou imperial family,even the uniforms came in six sets, with two specifically for formal wear.
The principal of Heaven Dou Royal Academy was Emperor Xue Ye. Could it be that he would even come personally? Otherwise, why prepare formal attire?
Not long after, staff brought him food. Wang Li had only eaten breakfast, and by now he was already very hungry.
After opening several food boxes, he found that it was indeed food for four or five people. Wang Li ate heartily while thinking about what tomorrow's meeting might be like.
The book title was changed, and it keeps getting criticized as bad…
