Chapter 36: Getting Acquainted

The female teacher said, "Hmm, soul power is not... What! Level thirty-seven Battle Soul Venerable! What is your martial soul? How much is your Innate Spirit Power?" The female teacher widened her eyes and shouted, her tone incomparably astonished.

Zhou Huan looked at the female teacher and also figured out what was going on.

He repeated himself, saying, "Twelve years old, level thirty-seven soul power, three-ring Battle Soul Venerable, martial soul is Element Spirit Tree, Innate Spirit Power is nine and a half."

The surrounding students also reacted to just how strong Zhou Huan's talent was.

One after another, they cast looks of shock at Zhou Huan.

After Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance, they both looked at the standing Zhou Huan, a glimmer of greed rising in their eyes.

If this genius could be lured into their own families, what great benefits it would bring.

The descendants of other families had the same thought, all making up their minds to befriend this genius Zhou Huan, and if possible, recruit Zhou Huan into their own families.

This was a seedling for a future Title Douluo; by befriending the other party while they were still weak, one would surely reap their friendship.

The female teacher stared at Zhou Huan with wide eyes, the surprise and joy in her eyes beyond words; only after taking several deep breaths did she calm her mood.

Afterwards, the female teacher said to Zhou Huan, "That's wonderful, student Zhou Huan. It is truly my honor that you have joined our class. Do you have the textbooks? I have one here; use it for now!"

The female teacher showed concern for Zhou Huan; she also harbored the intention of befriending him, so naturally, she would not harbor malice toward him.

Zhou Huan also focused on befriending the female teacher; she was his class teacher, and he would likely be in contact with her for a long time to come, so naturally, he could not afford to be on bad terms with her.

The female teacher stood on the podium and began the lecture, casting smiles at Zhou Huan from time to time throughout the class to show her goodwill.

This class passed by with the female teacher's explanations and Zhou Huan's responses.

When the class ended, Zhou Huan was immediately surrounded by people; over a dozen students crowded around him, blocking the space so tightly that Zhou Huan was blocked when he wanted to leave.

"Student Zhou Huan, let's go out for a meal after school this afternoon. A new bar has opened in the city; how about we go take a look?"

Numerous students surrounded Zhou Huan, talking all at once, all wanting to befriend him.

However, Zhou Huan ignored them, only smiling and telling them he had no time, to wait for next time, and similar words, while squeezing his way out.

Zhou Huan spent a great deal of effort before finally drilling out of the crowd.

Just as he squeezed out of the crowd, Zhou Huan's body was still unsteady when he was suddenly shoved from behind; his feet went askew, and he stumbled to the side, about to fall to the ground.

A fair, slender palm suddenly reached out from the side and steadied Zhou Huan, giving him time to stabilize his body before he could fall. Zhou Huan looked in the direction the hand came from and saw the figures of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

However, the two had already walked some distance away, and he did not know who had steadied him just now.

Zhou Huan did not go up to ask; at worst, he would just repay both of them once later.

In the crowded throng behind him, a pair of sinister eyes glared hatefully at Zhou Huan's back, the resentful look in them flashing and vanishing, immediately replaced by a gentle expression.

With a flash, they disappeared into the crowd.

Zhou Huan seemed to have sensed something and looked back, but he discovered nothing, so he withdrew his gaze and left the classroom.

In the afternoon, the students of the Heavenly Class gathered again; this time, they were to participate in the Heavenly Class's practical combat training.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy advocates a teaching philosophy that combines theory and practice; before level twenty-five, only theoretical knowledge is taught, while between level twenty-five and thirty, they begin to encounter practical combat training.

This lesson was the third practical combat training for the Heavenly Class; the first two times, because there were teachers watching over them, nothing went wrong.

It was just unclear how it would go this time.

The entire Heavenly Class had thirty-seven people, with five people riding in each carriage. Zhou Huan followed the team, boarded a carriage, and headed toward the nearby Hunting Soul Forest to conduct practical combat training.

Although it was a nearby Hunting Soul Forest, the carriage still traveled for nearly an hour before reaching the destination.

As soon as Zhou Huan got off the carriage, he ran to a distance away.

Four people who had been covering their mouths ran down from the carriage Zhou Huan had just exited and ran to the side to vomit profusely; a foul odor began to spread in the surrounding air.

Not far away, the lead teachers walked over. There were two lead teachers this time; one was a man with a gentle temperament, dressed in simple clothes, with a tall and straight figure; this teacher was named Gu Can, a six-ring Control System Soul Emperor.

The other man was also sturdy and powerful, exuding an aura of iron and blood; this teacher was named Tie Xiluo, a six-ring Power Attack System Battle Soul Emperor.

These two were two six-ring Soul Emperors from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, among the few powerhouses in the academy, and they were here as lead teachers to protect these students.

After straightening out the discipline, Teacher Gu Can led these rowdy students toward the Hunting Soul Forest.

Tie Xiluo looked at these students and said in a deep voice, "After entering the forest, you are not allowed to talk nonsense anymore; any slight movement could attract a Spirit Beast."

Zhou Huan went to the side of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

He whispered to them, "Hello, it was you two who steadied me this morning, right? Thank you."

Zhou Huan spoke this way just to get to know these two beauties first; once acquainted, he could naturally do other things.

Zhou Huan's words made Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling turn their heads to look. They saw the new, good-looking transfer student, and since he was looking for them because of the morning's incident, they didn't put on any airs.

Dugu Yan smiled and said, "So it's the new genius student. The matter this morning was nothing; even without us, you wouldn't have had any trouble. What is there to thank for?"

Ye Lingling smiled and just nodded at Zhou Huan as a greeting.

Zhou Huan returned the smile.

Zhou Huan looked at Dugu Yan and did not follow her lead, saying, "How can you say that? That was in the classroom. If I had fallen in the classroom, wouldn't I have lost face?

You two just reached out to help, which was saving my face, so I naturally should thank you both.

I wonder if you two could tell me your names? I will surely repay you handsomely in the future."

Dugu Yan was noncommittal about Zhou Huan's words and said with a smile, "This is my good friend, named Ye Lingling; her grandfather is the strongest Healing System Soul Master in the world today.

And I am named Dugu Yan; my grandfather is the Poison Douluo. Wait until you are a bit stronger before talking about repaying the favor."
