Evening, Shrek City's East Gate.

"Young Master Ling, please inspect."

The Dark Guard of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower presented Ling Bai with a Stardust Sapphire Ring, filled with all sorts of precious materials needed for the next three months to aid Ling Bai, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng in their cultivation.

Ling Bai's mental energy probed into the Stardust Sapphire, counting according to the list:

"Two Ten Thousand Year Seventh Rank Ginseng Kings, hmm, it seems Wu Feng isn't included.

Ten Thousand Year Deep Sea Whale Glue, Ten Thousand Year Demon Soul Great White Shark Oil, Ten Thousand Year Seven Treasures Delicate Fruit, Light Dragon Marrow, Fiery Armor Earth Dragon Tendon, Nine-Colored Stone, Soul Enlightenment Pill, Beauty Nourishing Pill... The types and quantities are correct, thank you for your hard work."

Ling Bai transferred all the precious materials into his storage soul conductor and returned the Stardust Sapphire Ring to the Dark Guard.

"I shall take my leave."

The Dark Guard bowed respectfully and quickly vanished into the shadows.

After receiving the items, Ling Bai did not return to Sea God Island. Instead, he waited at the foot of the Outer Academy Soul Conductor Department teaching building for Ning Tian to finish her classes.

About two hours later, as night fell over Shrek Academy, Ning Tian slowly emerged from the teaching building.

Ning Tian instantly locked onto Ling Bai and ran over in quick steps.

"Brother Bai, why didn't you return to the Inner Academy to rest?"

Her tone carried a hint of reproach, but her heart was warmed by the feeling of being cherished by the person she loved.

"It's your first day, I was afraid you might not be used to it."

Ling Bai reached out to tuck Ning Tian's wind-tousled white-gold hair behind her ear. After a day of intense soul conductor knowledge, a hint of fatigue was visible on her pretty face, but her excitement and thirst for knowledge remained undiminished.

"Brother Bai, don't worry. The teacher was very gentle, and the explanations were clear and easy to understand. I benefited greatly today, and I even regret not starting to learn soul conductors earlier!"

Ning Tian linked her arm with Ling Bai's as they headed to the outer academy cafeteria. She whispered, "The teacher's only flaw is that she knows about our relationship and said you don't look like a devoted good man like Dean Qian."

Devoted good man?

A dog!

Ling Bai suddenly couldn't tell what Xian Lin'er meant!

Saying I don't look like a dog?

Ning Tian continued, "The teacher decided to grant me the treatment of a Core Disciple of the Soul Conductor Department. After completing the Soul Power Department courses each day, I will study soul conductors with her for two hours."

"That's quite a heavy workload," Ling Bai said.

"Cultivating both martial souls and soul conductors is a path I chose. Even if I have to crawl, I will finish it!"

Ning Tian clenched her small fist, her azure eyes blazing with determination.

Shame and then courage!

Shame, only once in a lifetime!

"By the way, Brother Bai, did you get the items?"

"Yes."

Ling Bai nodded slightly. "I was thinking of discussing this with you. The Sect Master gave us two Ten Thousand Year Seventh Rank Ginseng Kings. One you should give to Dean Xian when you find a suitable opportunity. Director Du helped us so much, the other one we can give to him after your morning classes tomorrow. What do you think?"

"Okay!"

Ning Tian agreed without hesitation, thinking it was the right thing to do.

In any world, gift-giving is one of the keys to interpersonal relationships. No matter how eloquent one's words, only tangible benefits can make people willing to help you. "Take out some of the remaining items to attract talented students from the outer academy. Remember not to choose items that are too valuable, to avoid making them arrogant.

As for others, like your homeroom teacher Mujin, you can decide for yourself." Ling Bai carefully instructed Ning Tian, who listened attentively, nodding continuously. Her eyes sparkled like a puppy's, almost reaching for a notebook to write down every word. Not only Ning Tian, but Ling Bai also planned to give a few rare but not too expensive gifts to his Inner Academy friends, including Han Ruo, Zhang Lexuan, Qian Fufu, Dugu Lin, Chu Qiantian, and others.

It was already late, and after dinner, they selected the precious materials and returned to their dormitories to rest.

...

The next day, at noon.

Ling Bai and Ning Tian agreed to visit Director Du Weilun's office. Just as they arrived, they found the office door wide open, with intense voices coming from inside.

"Zhou Yi, what brings you here?"

Du Weilun's face was clearly agitated and helpless as he saw the elderly-looking Zhou Yi.

His agitation stemmed from Zhou Yi's constant trouble, often insulting and expelling students, with complaints piling up year after year.

His helplessness was due to Zhou Yi's husband, the Eighth Rank Soul Master Fan Yu, who held

a position second only to Deans Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo in the Soul Conductor Department. With Fan Yu's protection, Du Weilun had no leverage against Zhou Yi.

Du Weilun's tone and expression clearly conveyed his desire to dismiss her, but Zhou Yi remained unmoved, bluntly stating:

"Director Du, the freshmen have officially become first-year students of Shrek Academy. They should be working hard to cultivate their soul power, but that's not the case! Arrogance, impatience, and complacency... almost all students exhibit these attitudes. I believe this is extremely detrimental to teaching and student growth!"

"After passing the freshman assessment, it's normal for students to be spirited and enthusiastic. You don't need to overreact. A few words of encouragement will do," Du Weilun

suggested.

"You're wrong, Director Du!"

Zhou Yi firmly disagreed, stating, "Students must obey all the teacher's arrangements and always remain humble and ambitious. Students like Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Wu Feng, and Huang Chutian, who are so arrogant, should all be expelled to uphold Shrek Academy's reputation!"

Sister, are you crazy!

Du Weilun felt a surge of anger. He could tolerate expelling others, but the White Tiger Duke's Manor, Star Luo Netherworld Lineage, and Nine Treasures Crystal Tower...

If you keep doing this, you'll offend all the major forces. How will Shrek recruit students then?

Might as well disband the school!

Unfazed by Du Weilun's angry gaze, Zhou Yi declared loudly:

"Director Du, since the academy chose me as the homeroom teacher, I will teach according to

my principles. I will suppress the students' bad attitudes! You have one day to come up with a solution, or I will take action myself!"

With that, Zhou Yi turned and left, clearly not seeking a discussion but giving a direct order to

Du Weilun!

As Zhou Yi strode out of the office, she didn't even spare a glance for Ling Bai and Ning Tian. The sound of shattering porcelain followed from inside the room.

Ling Bai and Ning Tian exchanged a few silent glances and decided to enter the office. They saw Du Weilun, who looked like an angry lion, pacing around.

Du Weilun was truly furious. Precious porcelain decorations were scattered everywhere, and the office was almost unrecognizable.

Ling Bai's soul power swept through, and the fragments were instantly purified by the holy aura of the Six-Winged Angel. Ning Tian opened a small box, revealing a bundle of fresh, green leaves, and said with a smile, "Uncle Du, this is Heavenly Fragrant Snow Green from the extreme north. It's great for invigorating the mind and calming the anger."

"I'm sorry to have caused a scene in front of you two."

Du Weilun took a piece of Heavenly Fragrant Snow Green and placed it in his mouth. The icy coolness spread through his mouth and into his mind, extinguishing his boiling anger and restoring his calm.

"Little Tian, you should know that woman, right?"

"Yes, she's the homeroom teacher of Class One, Teacher Zhou Yi."

"This Zhou Yi is really overstepping her bounds!"

Du Weilun took a deep breath and vented his frustrations to the two: "I've tolerated her for a

long time. She acts without restraint, thanks to Fan Yu's protection. On the first day of the new term, she expelled nine students for being lazy during running! Sometimes I really want to

see what's inside her head!

Those are the best talents on the continent, and she expels them for such trivial matters! Everyone makes mistakes, especially eleven or twelve-year-olds. Teaching and guiding them is a teacher's responsibility. Zhou Yi's method of suppressing, obeying, and filtering students ruins Shrek's reputation. What's the point of a high graduation rate if the students are

destroyed... sigh!"

Hearing this, Ling Bai's eyes flickered. Zhou Yi's teaching methods were quite peculiar. Her class had the highest admission and graduation rates because those who didn't meet the standards were expelled early, leaving only the best of the best!

Fortunately, he chose to skip grades and enter the Inner Academy. If he had been a new outer academy student assigned to Class One, Ling Bai wasn't sure if he would have refrained from

fighting with Zhou Yi.

Beating up Ma Xiaotao...

Beating up Zhou Yi...

Ning Tian was especially glad she was assigned to Class Nine under Teacher Mujin. After the

assessment, Wu Feng, a strong attack-type soul master, was forced to join Class One, and Ning Tian was worried about his short temper.

Du Weilun ran his fingers through his hair and sighed heavily, saying, "Zhou Yi wants me to suppress the students' arrogance. If mishandled, it could destroy their future! I can't refuse, and if she does it, she won't hold back!"

Du Weilun's aura of resentment was almost tangible. As the head of the counseling department, he felt truly oppressed, being threatened by a mere homeroom teacher! "Little Tian, Ling Bai, help me think of a solution. We need to remove the students' arrogance

without hurting their fragile egos, and ideally, inspire their fighting spirit and drive them to continue striving."

Well, you have high expectations!

Ling Bai and Ning Tian looked at each other with odd expressions. We are Shrek students, not

wish-granting turtles!

"Uncle Du, I think you could find some senior students to solve the problem through soul battles," Ning Tian suggested tentatively.

Du Weilun fell into thought, saying, "Senior students... the strongest in the outer academy's

Soul Power Department, Bei Bei, Xu San Shi, and Jiang Nan Nan, only have soul power levels of thirty-eight and thirty-nine, not much higher than Dai Huabin and Xie Huanyue. Moreover, Class One has over sixty students in the strong attack and control types combined.

Even if Bei Bei and Xu San Shi were exhausted, they couldn't win. If we involve too many senior students, it would lose its effect.

But Little Tian's suggestion is good. If the outer academy students can't do it, I can find Inner

Academy students!"

Hmm?

Ling Bai suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

The Spider Queen's intuition kicked in!

There seems to be danger!

The next moment, a soft voice drifted into his ears.

"Little Bai..."

Du Weilun forced a smile, his face blooming like a chrysanthemum, trying to sound gentle,

"Could you help the director out?"

Ling Bai instinctively took a step back to maintain a safe distance, smiling bitterly, "Director,

I think I know what you're going to ask..."

Du Weilun's smile grew wider, "You're about the same age as the freshmen, an Inner

Academy disciple, with a divine martial soul and exceeding soul rings. You're a surefire candidate for the Shrek Seven Monsters next year, and you know how to control your strength.

Other Inner Academy disciples are either too old or not strong enough. I thought about it, and you're the best fit!

I've decided on you, Little Bai!"

"6."

Ling Bai's facial muscles twitched. Yesterday, Director Du introduced Ning Tian to the two

deans of the Soul Conductor Department, and today he was asking for help. The boomerang

hit him right in the face, and he couldn't bring himself to refuse!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"You decide, Director." Ling Bai pinched his nose and agreed.

"Hehe, I knew you had a good heart!"

Du Weilun looked like he had achieved his goal, saying, "We need to discuss the details.

Everything has its limits. In the first class this afternoon, I'll have Zhou Yi lead the Class One students to the playground, then you'll make your grand entrance. First, verbally mock them harshly, then physically mock them, and finally, end with another harsh verbal mocking!" Ling Bai was speechless, "Why must it be so harshly mocking?"

Du Weilun scratched his head, puzzled, "To spark the first-year students' fighting spirit!

Mocking is very effective!"

"Times have changed, Director Du!"

Ling Bai was deeply concerned. The head of the Soul Power Department at Shrek Academy was

so lacking in creativity!

"Can we think about this from a different angle?"

"Quick, tell me more!"

"First, it's unfair to only target Class One. You should call all the first-year students, and I'll

take care of them all at once.

"Ah? I think you're even more mocking than me."

"That's not the point... Second, you and I should..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're giving me goosebumps with all your schemes! You have too many tricks

up your sleeve!"

An hour passed quietly, and Ling Bai and Ning Tian left the Soul Power Department teaching building. Suddenly, Ning Tian remembered something and exclaimed:

"Brother Bai, I forgot to give Director Du the Ten Thousand Year Seventh Rank Ginseng

King!"

Ling Bai snorted, "Forget it, there are over four hundred first-year students. Save it for me!"

Ning Tian couldn't help but smile, curious, "Brother Bai, why did you volunteer to challenge

all the first-year students?"

"To help Old Du solve all his problems at once."

Ning Tian nodded lightly, seemingly convinced, but her intuition told her that Ling Bai's motives were more complex.

Ling Bai gazed into the distance, his golden eyes unusually deep and inscrutable. Little Tian, someone needs to stand up for you and the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower.

Challenging three outer academy freshmen is bullying, but one against four hundred is not bullying!

PS: The editor notified me that the book will be released on the first day, so there will be three updates tomorrow (6k words)!

Actually, this isn't the author's first time writing and releasing a book. His debut novel was a Douluo Continent fanfiction, which he wrote for about 800,000 words. For Sword Bone and Angel Glory, the original character name was Ling Chen, but it kept turning into the first book's protagonist, Ling Bai, so he decided not to change it, ha ha. New book, new start. I promise to update 4k words daily and aim for 2 million!

Thank you all for your support over the past month, for all the collections, follows, recommendations, monthly votes, and donations! Here are the answers to your questions:

1. The Ice and Snow Emperors will not give Huo Guo Hang.

2. Autumn and winter will not be combined; autumn is autumn.

3. No widespread soul beasts; the protagonist will create a method to resolve the conflict

between soul masters and soul beasts.

4. No need to overly focus on the soul rings and soul bones during the growth period; they will

all evolve to ten-thousand-year levels in the end.

5. The protagonist will not learn soul conductor making but will use and support the

development of soul conductors.

6. No inheriting divine positions; he will recast and evolve the Angel and Rakshasa divine

positions.

7. The protagonist will be balanced between good and evil, neither overly righteous nor harming innocent civilians, and will refuse to do things like blowing up Mingdu. 8. Supporting the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower and the original Douluo Continent, later

forming his own faction, opposing the Main Body Sect (already laid the groundwork), the Tianhun Imperial Family (the plot hasn't reached that point), the Sun Moon Empire (supporting soul conductors does not mean supporting the unification of the continent by the Sun Moon Empire), and the Holy Spirit Sect (evil soul masters, no explanation needed). 9. There are many conflicts in the settings of the four Douluo novels, and the author will

choose and adapt them appropriately.

10. I'm going home for the weekend. If the release data is good, I'll add more updates!

Finally, thank you all for your support, and I wish you a happy new year and all the best.
