Chapter 19 The Terrifying Lu Li, a Titled Douluo? [Please Read On]
"Even if that guy wanted to ambush me, he probably wouldn't have expected to be in Donghai City."
Lu Li's mind flashed to the image of a petite girl adorned with dark purple bells, but he quickly shook his head.
Why were they brought to Donghai City?
"Ring ring..."
Just then, a voice rang out; it was Lu Li's communication soul tool.
"Your Majesty Lu Li, I noticed you're not at the academy. Do you have time now, is it convenient for you to take this call?"
After he answered the phone, an elderly man's voice came from the other end of the communicator, his tone full of respect. It was Yu Lian, the dean of Donghai Academy.
"Hmm, what's wrong, Dean?"
Lu Li responded calmly.
"That's how it is, Your Majesty Lu Li."
"As you probably know, Donghai Academy has a long-standing tradition of promotion tournaments, but this year is a little different."
"In this year's first grade class one, there are four geniuses whose strength is simply too out of the ordinary. Among them, Gu Yue's cultivation level is even more overwhelming than that of ordinary fifth grade students in the junior division."
"If we let them participate in the promotion tournament again, it will probably have a huge impact on the academy."
"On the contrary, if we single them out and concentrate resources on their development, they might have a better chance of success."
Yu Lian truthfully stated that this year's cohort of students was the most extraordinary since the founding of Donghai Academy, and the previous model was no longer feasible.
As the saying goes, if a road is impassable, you have to use your fists to open it. Given the current special circumstances, special arrangements are of course necessary!
"Um."
"I understand what you mean: to focus on training the little ones and provide them with unparalleled resources from the academy."
Lu Li nodded. The opportunity for the creation of Class Zero in the original story was precisely because Tang Wulin defeated Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi's Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
Gu Yue's current cultivation level has clearly surpassed that of Tang Wulin at that time.
"Your Majesty Lu Li, you are absolutely right! That's exactly what I think. Although our Donghai Academy is just a small academy and can't produce any of the world's top talents, but..."
"The children are so talented, of course we can't let them be buried in the academy, but rather let them have a wider sky."
Yu Lian smiled and responded earnestly.
"I plan to create a special class, Class Zero, and have Gu Yue, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, Wei Xiaofeng, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin, whom you have your eye on, join us."
"Giving them access to the best resources and the best training in the East China Sea should yield good results."
"Looking further ahead, they will go to higher education institutions in a few years, and may even have the opportunity to be admitted to Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy."
"Speaking of the past, the Tianhai Alliance competition will be held next year. With the children's abilities, they will definitely be able to win the championship."
"Do you think this plan is feasible? If so, perhaps you and Wu Changkong could serve as the homeroom teacher and assistant homeroom teacher, respectively, to guide the children's growth."
Yu Lian showed no airs of a dean whatsoever; at this moment, he was more like a loyal subordinate, asking respectfully.
His vision is undoubtedly far-sighted. Although His Majesty Lu Li is unwilling to reveal his identity, as long as he is in the academy, Donghai Academy will surely flourish in the future.
As for the geniuses led by Gu Yue...
He wasn't confident enough to think he could keep them in Donghai. Maybe before they turned thirteen or fourteen, but after that, going to a higher-level academy would be inevitable.
His idea was very mature: to train these people and eventually get them into the top Shrek Academy, making them legends in Donghai City and making Donghai Academy famous throughout the world!
"The dean's plan is so comprehensive, of course it's feasible. I have no problem with it, let's proceed as you say."
Lu Li responded with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty Lu Li!"
Yu Lian didn't waste Lu Li's time; he said a few words that sounded like expressions of loyalty before hanging up the phone.
In Lu Li's mind, a new task was generated at this moment:
[As far as you know, Host, Donghai Academy has actually established a new class, Class Zero, specifically for exceptional geniuses, which will include all the top geniuses of the entire first year.]
[And you are clearly not on the student list, which you are still resentful of, even though you know your talent is only average.]
[You're all nine years old. If others can do it, why can't you? With this attitude, you've made joining the zero-class class your immediate goal.]
[Current Task: Join Class Zero]
[Quest Reward: One Hundred-Year-Old Spirit Herb]
"The mission to join Class Zero?"
Lu Li chuckled. Well, as the teacher of Class Zero, he was indeed not a student of Class Zero. The system was right.
But what about the rewards for this mission...?
Isn't "how much" too basic?
"A rare and precious herb."
"My teacher never used this stuff when he gave me medicinal baths back then."
Lu Li thought to himself, "But then again, it's been so long since I spent time with my teacher last time..."
Hmm, something seems off about him?
"Do not think of what is improper, do not ponder what is improper!"
Lu Li quickly shook his head and muttered to himself.
"..."
"Class Zero?"
On the other side, Wu Changkong, who was in a meditative state, also received a phone call. Wearing a yellow duck pajama, he looked quite interested.
Their goal is to get into Shrek Academy.
Aside from Xie Xie's lack of diligence, these kids are all quite talented in various aspects. Getting into Shrek Academy wouldn't be difficult for them at all; they're definitely within our future plans.
"Yes, Dean. I am aware of the situation with Class Zero, and I have no objections."
"What did Teacher Lu Li say? Did he agree?"
Wu Changkong, keep going!
"I made up my mind only after His Majesty Lu Li's approval, so Teacher Wu doesn't need to worry about it too much."
"Okay."
Wu Changkong nodded, unsurprised. Then, Yu Lian's voice continued:
"Teacher Wu, I know you've always had this attitude in your work at the academy, but His Majesty Lu Li is different."
"It's fine to call him Teacher Lu Li at work, but in your spare time, you should still show respect to a Title Douluo."
"Don't be so clueless."
"Hmm... I'll try my best."
Wu Changkong's expression froze for a moment, then he shook his head helplessly. It wasn't that he didn't respect Brother Lu Li, but rather that he had practically watched the other become a high-level Soul Master...
It's really hard to treat the other person as a senior!
"..."
Early the next morning.
Inside the dean's office, led by Lu Li and Wu Changkong, six people, including Gu Yue, followed together.
"The few of us..."
"So, the next group will be the members of Class Zero?"
Upon hearing Yu Lian's introduction about Class Zero, everyone was stunned and somewhat at a loss.
Even Gu Yue was somewhat surprised, after all, Class 1 of the first grade was already the class with the most resources, but she didn't expect that a Class Zero would be created today.
"Does that mean my talent is extraordinary?"
"But this is only the cultivation level of Brother Lu Li at eight years old."
Gu Yue silently thought to herself, glancing at Lu Li not far away. Perhaps it really was a bit too much!
"That's right, children. From now on, you will be the most valued students in the academy and will enjoy the best resources."
"However, similarly, your studies in the junior division must not be interrupted before you are admitted to the top advanced colleges in the mainland, and you must not transfer to other colleges in any way."
Yu Lian nodded, then took out a contract and said that he had almost no restrictions on the children, but...
Having enjoyed the training provided by the academy, they obviously can't just run away to find another place to go afterward!
"Dean Yu, I believe the college will not be stingy with resources, but I would like to mention the faculty."
Wei Xiaofeng pondered for a moment in the crowd, then slowly spoke.
His family background was the strongest among the three. Although his parents' cultivation levels were slightly lower, their ancestors had at least produced a Title Douluo. It was fine for him to attend Donghai Academy, but signing the agreement...
It depends on whether the college is qualified.
At least Donghai Academy does not yet have that status.
"Oh?"
"Teaching staff?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Lian's smile remained undiminished, even more delighted than before, and Long Hengxu, who stood beside him like a security guard, shared the same sentiment.
What? How do you know that our academy's teacher, Lu Li, is a Title Douluo?
"Dean, in our academy, the strongest dance teacher is only a Soul Emperor, and there is no second one."
"This is not a problem in Donghai City, but the other academies in the Tianhai Alliance are no less capable of producing Soul Emperors. In this respect, Donghai Academy is still at a disadvantage."
"Or is Teacher Lu Li also a Soul Emperor or Soul Saint?"
Wei Xiaofeng blinked and looked in Lu Li's direction, clearly not believing it; the other party was still too young.
"How dare you!"
"Wei Xiaofeng, do you think Teacher Lu Li...?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Lian frowned, and Long Hengxu's expression immediately hardened, and he subconsciously spoke up.
That kid Wei Xiaofeng...
Do you know what you're saying?
"Um?"
"Dean, is Professor Lu Li really that strong?"
Seeing Long Hengxu's reaction, Wei Xiaofeng's eyes lit up. He had only made a simple conversation, but it seemed that he had tricked Long Hengxu into revealing something extraordinary.
Is it...
Teacher Lu Li is a Soul Emperor or even a Soul Saint!
"Teacher Lu Li...?"
Long Hengxu didn't speak, but instead looked in Lu Li's direction with Yu Lian, their eyes filled with anticipation.
"It's alright."
Lu Li smiled and shook his head. He wasn't surprised by this situation. As a young teacher, it would indeed be somewhat incompetent of him not to tell them about their cultivation levels.
It should be noted that even Tang Wulin, who was closest to him among the group, did not know his cultivation level.
"Since Xiao Feng is so curious about my cultivation level, then I'll tell you."
Lu Li smiled and spoke. The moment his words fell, a surge of golden energy rushed in like a tide, and the huge and domineering shadow of the Holy Dragon had already appeared behind him.
The next moment, two-colored spirit rings suddenly appeared beside him: black! black! black! black! red! red! red! red! red!
Nine spirit rings, four black and five red!
"My cultivation level isn't top-tier, but in the East Sea..."
"No one is above me."
Lu Li spoke calmly, his tone clear to everyone's ears.
But at this moment, no one paid attention to his words; instead, they all focused their gazes intently on his spirit ring.
Teacher Lu Li is actually a Title Douluo!?
