Chapter 16 Dai Huabin: I'm going to beat up the whole class!
Mu Jin wore a warm, spring-like smile, and her smile deepened as her gaze swept over Dai Huabin and the others in the last row.
"Hello students, I am your homeroom teacher, Mu Jin."
Mu Jin's gentle and pleasant voice instantly won the favor of most of the boys in the class.
She's practically the ideal gentle female teacher!
Compared to Zhou Yi, the legendary "old auntie" from the next class, she's worlds apart.
"I know that everyone here comes from different corners of the Douluo Continent and is a genius selected from thousands of candidates."
Mu Jin rested her hands on the podium, her gaze sweeping across the entire audience.
"I will be with you for the next three months during your freshman period."
"My teaching philosophy has only one principle: I don't care about background or family history; I only care about ability. As long as you are willing to work hard, I will be your strongest support."
A round of applause erupted from the audience.
Mu Jin nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the roster:
"Before the official roll call, I would like to introduce a few new students to everyone."
"They were originally assigned to other classes, but out of trust and admiration for our Class 9, they specifically applied to transfer here."
"Everyone, please welcome them."
She looked at the back row: "Dai Huabin, you guys, please introduce yourselves."
Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin didn't hesitate and stood up immediately.
As he stood up, an invisible aura emanated from him.
"Dai Huabin."
"Spirit: White Tiger, Level 33 Power Attack Type Soul Elder."
boom!
It was like a depth charge dropped into a fishpond.
The once quiet classroom instantly erupted into chaos.
"Level 33? Did I hear that right?"
"Holy crap, a Soul Elder? There's a Soul Elder among our freshmen?"
"White Tiger Spirit... Could it be the White Tiger Duke's Mansion from the Star Luo Empire?"
Everyone's gaze turned to shock, awe, and even disbelief.
Even Ning Tian, who had been calm all along, felt her eyelids twitch at this moment.
Even though she already knew the information, hearing it from the person in person was a completely different experience.
Moreover, how did Dai Huabin level up to level 33 in just a few days?
Not only Ning Tian, but also Cui Yajie, Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao were shocked.
Wang Dong'er muttered, "How did that damn blondie get stronger again?"
Dai Huabin ignored Wang Dong'er's grumbling and was quite satisfied with the effect. He sat down with a faint smile on his lips and patted Zhu Lu's hand.
Zhu Lu stood up, her cold voice ringing out: "Zhu Lu, Spirit: Netherworld Cat, Level 26 Agility-Attack Type Great Soul Master."
Another gasp was heard.
Next up is Cui Yajie: "Cui Yajie, Spirit Nine-Tailed Fox, Level 24 Control-type Great Soul Master."
Then there's Wang Dong'er, who's been holding back her energy.
Not wanting to be outshone by Dai Huabin, she suddenly stood up, chin slightly raised:
"Wang Dong'er, Spirit: Goddess of Light Butterfly, Level 21 Power Attack Type Great Soul Master."
Although her level wasn't as high as the others, Wang Dong'er's stunning beauty still caused a stir among the boys in the class.
Finally, it's Xiao Xiao:
"Xiao Xiao, Spirit Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, Level 19... Control-type Spirit Master."
After the five people finished their introductions, the entire Class 9 fell silent.
Mu Jin's smile was practically overflowing.
While Zhou Yi next door was still using the expulsion tactic to intimidate students, her side already had a Soul Elder.
With this setup, winning the freshman assessment would be a piece of cake, right?
"Good, very good." Mu Jin led the applause. "I hope everyone can learn from these students and encourage each other in the future."
The following procedures were fairly standard: roll call, distribution of textbooks, and explanation of academy rules.
Dai Huabin was getting drowsy listening to this.
He was tired of reading these things in his previous life, and now that he's a "second-time" player, he just can't muster any interest.
Dai Huabin rested his chin on his hand, his gaze sweeping over the crowd and landing on Ning Tian once more.
This little princess of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is an exceptional support character. If only he could recruit her into his team…
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is known as the number one support Spirit in the world, while the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is an even more divine support.
Dai Huabin tapped his fingers lightly on the table, already plotting how to "lure" this young Sect Master onto his side.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
Zhu Lu suddenly leaned over, her tone tinged with a hint of sourness.
"Is that short-haired girl pretty?"
Dai Huabin snapped out of his daze and couldn't help but laugh when he saw his fiancée's jealous expression.
He leaned close to Zhu Lu's ear and said softly, "She's pretty, but not as pretty as my Lulu."
Zhu Lu blushed and glared at him fiercely, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
Just then, Mu Jin on the podium suddenly changed the subject.
"Now that we all know each other, we need to elect a class monitor."
Mu Jin's gaze swept across the classroom, finally settling meaningfully on Dai Huabin and Ning Tian.
"Shrek Academy respects the strong. Whoever has the biggest fist has the right to speak. So, if you want to be class monitor, you can step forward."
The moment the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the classroom became subtly tense.
Before Dai Huabin arrived, Ning Tian, who was originally the strongest in Class 9, was almost certain to become the class monitor.
But now...
"Young Master."
Wu Feng clenched her fist, a glint of fighting spirit flashing in her eyes.
"Although Dai Huabin is high-level, it doesn't mean he's strong in actual combat. You're a support type, and I'm a power attacker. As long as we cooperate, we might not be afraid of him!"
Ning Tian remained silent for a moment, then slowly stood up.
As soon as she stood there, all eyes in the class turned to her.
"Teacher, I want to run for class monitor." Ning Tian's voice was clear and firm.
Mu Jin nodded: "Ning Tian's courage is commendable. Is anyone else here?"
Everyone looked at the blond boy in the back row.
Dai Huabin slowly stood up, a confident expression on his face.
"Since Teacher Mu Jin has said that the strong are respected, wouldn't it be a disservice to my three-ring cultivation level if I didn't take the position of class monitor?"
The smell of gunpowder filled the air instantly.
Wu Feng suddenly turned around, slammed her hand on the table, and pointed at Dai Huabin angrily, saying:
"Arrogant! Don't think you're so great just because you're a Soul Elder! Do you dare to fight us?"
Dai Huabin raised an eyebrow, looking at the irritable little red dragon with a mocking gaze.
"You?"
He extended a finger and gently shook it.
"No, that's too much trouble."
"What do you want to say?" Ning Tian frowned.
"What I mean is..."
Dai Huabin placed his hands on the desk, leaning forward. Although his expression was calm, his tone was extremely arrogant.
"Come at me all at once. Anyone in the class who disagrees can come at me. Lulu and I will challenge you all!"
Zhu Lu also stood up with Dai Huabin, her gaze sweeping around:
"Anyone who disagrees is welcome to come up on stage!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
Even Wang Dong'er gaped open, looking at Dai Huabin with an expression as if he were a madman.
This guy is seriously arrogant!
Ning Tian's expression finally changed, and a hint of anger appeared on her originally elegant face:
"Dai Huabin, you are too arrogant. You will pay the price for your contempt."
"Whether it's arrogance or not, we'll only know after we fight." Dai Huabin straightened up and twisted his neck.
"Let's go, see you at the Soul Arena."
He was the first to leave his seat. As he passed Ning Tian, he paused slightly, turned his head, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Ning Tian, how about we make a bet? If I win, from now on, in this class, your people and your tower will all have to listen to me."
Ning Tian's pupils suddenly contracted.
What was Dai Huabin's gaze like?
That's the look in someone's eyes when they're looking at their prey!
However, Dai Huabin was not a reckless man.
Those who can make such boasts naturally have a plan in mind.
Since that day when he had an in-depth exchange with Zhu Lu, Dai Huabin felt that the Martial Soul Fusion Skill between him and Zhu Lu had changed.
However, it seemed that the changes to the Martial Soul Fusion Skill were still lacking a bit of external pressure. And now, hadn't that pressure arrived?
Zhu Lu, who was standing next to Dai Huabin, was also very excited. She was finally able to fight alongside Hua Bin!
