Chapter 8: One Flute Breaks All Things, the Provocation of Prince Xuexing

As a Defense System Spirit Douluo, his martial soul, the Star Furnace, possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities; even a Title Douluo would find it difficult to easily break through his defense.

However, Zhexian's flute music made him feel a kind of intangible rule, and even the circulation of his own soul power was subjected to a certain interference.

"Playing god!" Bai Baoshan snorted coldly, the soul rings on his body suddenly lit up, and his third soul skill, "Heaven Star Body Protection," was instantly activated.

A layer of heavy starlight barrier enveloped his entire body, protecting him firmly within.

However, Zhexian's flute music did not stop; instead, it became increasingly melodious.

That sound seemed to carry a certain magic, instantly penetrating Bai Baoshan's starlight barrier and striking directly at his mind.

Bai Baoshan only felt a trance in his mind, and the circulation of his soul power actually began to become sluggish.

"This... what kind of soul skill is this?!" Bai Baoshan was greatly shocked in his heart; he had never seen such eerie flute music that could actually directly interfere with the circulation of his soul power!

Zhexian still maintained a calm expression, the flute music slowly changing, as if performing some kind of ancient rhythm.

A stream of air slowly swirled around his body, and if one looked closely, there would be wisps of Immortal Qi circling it.

And these wisps of Immortal Qi followed the flute music to directly penetrate Bai Baoshan's defense.

Bai Baoshan instantly felt his body becoming heavier and heavier, and he was directly forced to one knee on the ground, as if suppressed by an invisible force, making even lifting his hand difficult.

"Impossible! What the hell kind of flute music is this!" Bai Baoshan gritted his teeth and growled, his seventh soul skill, "Martial Soul True Body," instantly activated.

The phantom of the Star Furnace emerged behind him, the starlight shining brightly, attempting to break through the constraints of the flute music.

However, Zhexian's flute music seemed to be omnipresent; even though Bai Baoshan exerted his soul power to the fullest, he still could not shake off that invisible force.

His movements became slower and slower, and in the end, he was completely suppressed to one knee on the ground, with even lifting his head becoming difficult.

Yu Tianheng and the others on the sidelines watched, dumbfounded. Although they knew Zhexian's strength was extraordinary, seeing with their own eyes that he could suppress an eight-ring Spirit Douluo until they had no power to fight back with just a single piece of flute music, they were still incredibly shocked.

"This... this is too strong!" Yufeng couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

A complex look flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes, and she murmured in a low voice: "No wonder he is so confident; it turns out his strength has already reached this level..."

The other two of the three Committee Members also could not sit still.

They had originally thought that Bai Baoshan would be enough to test Zhexian's strength, but they had not expected the situation to turn out like this.

The lead Committee Member stood up and said in a deep voice: "Enough! Zhexian, we have already witnessed your strength; there is no need to continue."

Upon hearing this, Zhexian slowly lowered the Jade Flute, and the flute music stopped accordingly.

Bai Baoshan immediately felt his body lighten and regained his freedom.

He gasped for air, his eyes full of shock and wariness.

"Your Excellency, your strength should have already reached the Title Douluo level, right." The lead Committee Member said in a deep voice, "Would it be too much of a waste of talent to come to the academy to serve as a teacher?"

Zhexian smiled slightly, his tone still calm: "Three Committee Members, this junior's martial soul is merely a Jade Flute, and my soul power level is only barely sufficient. As for the rest, perhaps it is not important."

The three Committee Members looked at each other; although they still had doubts in their hearts, Zhexian's strength had already made them unable to question his qualifications any further.

The lead Committee Member nodded and said: "Since that is the case, we will make an exception this once. From today on, you are a teacher at Tiandou Royal Academy."

Zhexian nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of indifference: "Many thanks."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng and the others all showed expressions of joy on their faces.

If Zhexian is serving as a teacher, then he must be teaching them!

With such a handsome and powerful teacher, who wouldn't want that?

"Teacher Zhexian, congratulations!" Ye Lingling walked forward, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Zhexian glanced at her, his tone gentle: "Many thanks. If you are interested in the future, I can teach you some of the Way of musical rhythm."

Upon hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Ye Lingling's face: "Thank you, Teacher!"

Just as everyone was immersed in joy, the door to the Teaching Department was suddenly pushed open, and a cold voice came: "I heard that the academy has a new teacher whose strength is comparable to a Title Douluo; I would like to see for myself."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man wearing a silver robe walk in.

His face was cold and stern, his expression arrogant, and he swept his gaze over everyone with great disdain.

The three Committee Members walked over, just about to explain, but were instantly repelled by a powerful sense of oppression.

"A Title Douluo?!"

The three Committee Members' expressions turned cold, staring fixedly at the Title Douluo behind Xuexing, and the scene fell into silence.

"Grandpa!"

A voice instantly broke this situation.

Everyone looked over upon hearing this and saw Dugu Yan throw herself directly into the arms of that Title Douluo.

Seeing his granddaughter's appearance, Dugu Bo could not help but reveal a doting look in his eyes, patted Dugu Yan's head, and asked: "Girl, why are you all here?"

Dugu Yan raised her head and pointed at Zhexian, "Grandpa, let me introduce you; this is my new teacher, Zhexian."

"New teacher?!" Dugu Bo was stunned.

Dugu Yan nodded.

"Oh? He is the Title Douluo the three Committee Members were talking about just now?" Dugu Bo looked at Zhexian, his gaze clearly carrying a bit of scrutiny.

"What kind of Title Douluo, I think he's just a pretty boy who performs street tricks!"

Xuexing's tone was sarcastic, and he stared at Zhexian with an unkind expression.

This kid really knows how to put on an act!

"I won't allow you to talk about Teacher Zhexian like that!"

For the first time, Ye Lingling stood out so angrily, blocking in front of Zhexian, her eyes glaring at Xuexing.

The others did the same, and even Dugu Yan angrily broke free from Dugu Bo's embrace.

Seeing this, Xuexing was even more furious!

Dugu Bo was also full of surprise; is this kid's charm really that great?

However, I have to say, this kid's looks are about the same as mine were back in the day.

"Whether he is a Title Douluo or not, why not just test him?"

Xue Xing looked disdainful, not taking the threats of these few little fellows to heart in the slightest.

The three Committee Members also walked down angrily; even though they feared Dugu Bo, they would not allow Xue Xing to provoke their academy's teachers like this.

"Prince, I see no need for this anymore; since he was able to defeat Bai Baoshan, he already has the qualifications to serve as a teacher."

"That's right, this fellow Baoshan claims to have astonishing defensive power, yet who would have thought he couldn't even hold out for a single strike."

Listening to the two of them compare him, Bai Baoshan looked speechless, though if one were to ask who present believed in Zhexian's strength the most, it was only him.

No one would know just how terrifying that flute sound truly was.

He even felt that the other party had not used his full strength, relying solely on the oppressive feeling of the flute sound.

If he were to pull someone into a dream or illusion like the Chief Black Demon, then he would have no power to resist.

PS: Four thousand words have been presented today, seeking support!

(The protagonist Zhexian has not yet displayed his true strength, such as the Heaven Horned Ant Precious Technique, True Phoenix Precious Technique, etc.; they will appear later, it is mainly because these people are too weak... If you have any thoughts, feel free to bring them up.)
