Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, who lives in the Dragon King's body

The imposing gatehouse, constructed from massive stones, exudes grandeur. Stepping into the academy, one is greeted by lush greenery. A wide, horizontal avenue stretches to the left and right, paved with rustic bluestone slabs, radiating a sense of ancient history.

This is Donghai Academy, the only advanced academy in Donghai City. It is also a large academy, possessing both intermediate and advanced academy qualifications. The intermediate department is located in the east of the academy, occupying two-thirds of the area, while the advanced department is located in the west, and that one-third of the area is where the true essence of this academy lies.

"Then I'll have to trouble you for the next few years."

Inside the dean's office, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena greeted Yu Zhen.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."

Yu Zhen's aged face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, covered with a smile, his lips unable to suppress the upward curve.

This isn't trouble at all; it's clearly a path to extraordinary wealth and glory, a stroke of good fortune sent by heaven. He'd even like to have more of this kind of trouble.

Two geniuses from the Spirit Pagoda alone can bring Donghai Academy a huge boost in popularity, and they can also represent the academy in the upcoming Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition, helping the academy to vent its anger.

Furthermore, they could take this opportunity to connect with the Spirit Pagoda regarding their long-planned Class Zero program and collaborate on its training.

No matter what, he can make a fortune by following this plan, then retire and run away.

It's a bit of a shame that these two can't stay at the academy forever...

Golden carp are not meant to stay in a pond; whatever achievements they make in the future will be the result of their own hard work and training. The academy can only benefit from their success.

"That's settled then..."

After a few casual words, Yu Zhen introduced some things about the academy. When it was almost time, Yu Zhen let Huo Yuhao and the other person leave to go to the private dormitory that had been arranged for them.

Watching the two leave, Yu Zhen sat down with a sigh, "Clearly geniuses, yet without a trace of arrogance; born into a powerful family, yet still so gentle and kind. Their future is limitless!"

Thinking back to their appearances, Yu Zhen chuckled to himself. He figured this would probably cause quite a stir at school. The girl had purple eyes and silver hair, with an elegant and gentle demeanor; although she hadn't fully blossomed, she was still extremely beautiful. The boy had black hair and black eyes, with a calm and capable air; he was also a handsome young man.

Soul Masters grow faster than their peers, and the kids at East Sea Academy are also at the age when their emotions begin to blossom.

However, since these people came to study here, even though they didn't ask for anything and the academy couldn't teach them anything, we couldn't just leave them with nothing. So, how to arrange teachers for these two people became a problem.

If the primary academy teaches the basics of martial spirits and soul masters, then the intermediate academy teaches how to apply that knowledge, how to unleash one's martial spirit, and how to define one's future. Only at the advanced academy does one truly pursue advanced studies.

But what use is this knowledge to two young geniuses from the Spirit Pagoda? Could they not have learned it? Can their academy be more knowledgeable than the advanced soul masters of the Spirit Pagoda?

As he spoke, Yu Zhen thought of someone else in the academy who also came from a powerful family. He felt a headache and contempt. They were all from powerful families, and he was much older than these kids. Why didn't he know how to control his temper?

Picking up a teacher's file lying to the side, Yu Zhen was in a dilemma. Although he had a good understanding of this person's character, he had to admit that he was reluctant to fire him.

Wu Changkong, a top student at Shrek Academy, is in his early twenties. He is a six-ring Soul Emperor, a two-word Battle Armor Master, handsome, and aloof. He is also the strongest in his academy.

With that kind of background and ability, you certainly have the right to be proud. But you're a working person who gets paid, can't you tone it down a bit?

He always has a cold face towards everyone, as if someone owes him money. He even broke the leg of the head of the senior department a while ago...

Dean Yu felt exhausted. How did Shrek Academy produce students with such tempers?

"Anyway, let him teach Class 5 of the first grade for now."

Let's see if we can temper his temper. If so, Yu Zhen wants to include him as a teacher in the Zero Class program. If that doesn't work, with Huo Yuhao and the Spirit Pagoda connecting them, it won't matter whether he's there or not.

Yu Zhen has been in the position of dean for decades without making any outstanding contributions. He will retire in a few years. If he cannot accomplish something significant, he may end up like the deans before him, living in obscurity.

And as a dean, what is a big deal?

That is, the college produces a few outstanding students who get into prestigious universities.

Just like in Tang San's time, when a Soul Saint emerged from a village, the village was immediately renamed Holy Soul Village. A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow, and this is even more true for the academy.

In this era, above the advanced soul master academies, there are some known as super soul master academies. There are three such super academies: Shrek Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and Spirit Transmission Academy.

Interestingly, the official name of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is actually the Sun Moon Federation Elite Soul Master Academy in the Federation. However, because Shrek Academy took the lead in using the name from ten thousand years ago, everyone has been calling it by that name.

These three academies represent the pinnacle of education in the Douluo Continent, each boasting top-tier experts, especially Shrek Academy, which has produced two deities in succession.

Countless young soul masters from various academies consider it an honor to be admitted to these three academies. Every year, these three academies hold their own college entrance examinations, and only those who stand out from the competition and meet the requirements can enter these three academies.

Of course, the exam questions for Sun Moon Academy and Spirit Pagoda are set by the Federation or Spirit Pagoda on a rotating basis, while Shrek Academy, being a continent within a continent, has its own set of assessments, but no one cares about them.

"When the time comes, we'll spend some money to get a few of the more talented kids from the Spirit Pagoda into Sun Moon Academy or Spirit Pagoda Academy. That way, our East Sea Academy will also have something to show for itself."

I can brag about it to others when I go out in the future.

With that thought in mind, Dean Yu waved his hand and arranged for Huo Yuhao and his companion to be placed in the best class.

Donghai Academy divides students into classes based on their talents. This year, there will probably be five classes. Huo Yuhao and his friend will naturally be in the best class, which is full of geniuses from the Spirit Pagoda. Their talents are definitely better than the mediocre students that Donghai Academy recruited this year.

The thought that his Zero Class plan might leave a significant mark on his resume before retirement, making him the most successful dean of Donghai Academy, made Yu Zhen unable to suppress his smile.

Just then, Long Hengxu, the first-year dean of students, knocked on the door and walked in with a furrowed brow. "Dean, there's been a problem. Two students got into a fight in their dormitory and damaged some public property."

Regaining his composure, Yu Zhen asked:

"Is there anything special about those two?"

"You should handle this yourself, Dean. I really don't know what to do."

Long Hengxu did not answer, but instead asked Yu Zhen to take action personally.
