Peerless: You've already become a Title Douluo, and this is the first time you've come to

Chapter 18 Tang Wutong: You've Already Decided to Die [5K Long Chapter]

"Hmm, it's nothing."

Hearing the other party's words, Chu Ge was taken aback, then shook his head helplessly, indicating that the other party did not need to care.

"I just came to visit the Golden Ancient Tree yesterday."

"It must be because he hasn't had a proper rest in a long time. He was training too intensely, which caused him to faint."

He smiled and gave a simple explanation.

"Um……"

Ling Luochen nodded thoughtfully, clearly not having much doubt about it. The students of the inner academy were all the pride of heaven, and it was all too common for them to work hard in their cultivation.

She could also see that the person in front of her was far stronger than herself. Perhaps it was really as the other person said, because of the extremely high intensity of their training.

It's normal that I haven't slept because I'm busy with cultivation and academy tasks, but this is obviously not going to work.

"Oh well."

After saying that, she didn't intend to stay there any longer. She had only called out to the other person because she was afraid something might happen to them.

Now that he's awake, there's nothing to do with him. As for telling him to rest, that's obviously a strange thing to do.

"..."

"It seems to have created a strange image."

Watching the other person walk further and further away, Chu Ge shook his head helplessly. He was afraid that by doing this, he would become a fool who would fall asleep as soon as he lay down.

Shocking! A teacher from the inner court actually fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow...

But how could he have known he would fall unconscious like that? He was perfectly awake just moments before; it must be because…

Thinking of this, Chu Ge glanced unabashedly at the golden ancient tree beside him.

Then, without thinking, he grabbed the other person's tree trunk.

"..."

The ancient golden tree shone with a warm light, remaining unmoved.

Chu Ge watched this scene for 2.5 seconds before withdrawing his hand.

Has the Golden Tree lost consciousness again?

It seems that I still cannot unravel the mystery.

"It's probably because my cultivation level is still too weak. The communication between the Golden Ancient Tree and me can't be too obvious or too deep."

"When I break through my limits in the future, I'll definitely be able to communicate with it..."

Thinking about it, he quickly left the place.

After he left, a cautious figure stood beside the golden ancient tree, watching the direction he had left in, hiding somewhat timidly.

"He pinched..."

"You pinched me too hard..."

The girl murmured blankly before disappearing from sight.

Yesterday was the registration day for new students at Shrek Academy. This process will last for two days, since new students from all over the country have to come to register, and it is inevitable that some registrations will not be completed in one day.

After the new students register, the other students will return to school one by one, and the new students will be assigned to classes during this period.

Therefore, Chu Ge did not see any other familiar faces from the original work, such as Ma Xiaotao.

The only person he saw frequently was Ling Luochen, the icy girl who lived across the street from him.

There was nothing interesting in the inner courtyard, which is why he spent most of his time in the outer courtyard, hanging out with his cheap disciple Huo Yudie and the goddess Tang Wutong.

Occasionally, Tang Ya would pretend to come over to check on Huo Yudie, but in reality, her gaze was always drifting in his direction.

"Brother Chu."

"The list of homeroom teachers for me and Yudie has been released."

That day, Tang Wutong held Huo Yudie's hand and pointed to the notice board in front of them. There, on the list of freshmen class one, were their names.

When it came to the homeroom teacher's signature, the name written was "Zhou Yi".

Unlike the students' printed names, the teachers' names were all handwritten, and the writing was quite elegant and free.

"Zhou as in Monday, Yi as in ripples."

"Just by looking at this teacher's name, you'd think he must be an extremely responsible person."

Huo Yudie looked thoughtful and slightly dazed.

"..."

Chu Ge smiled without saying a word, a hint of helplessness on his face.

Does being responsible mean constantly threatening to expel students in order to improve college entrance examination pass rates?

I think so too.

Unaware of Chu Ge's expression, Tang Wutong smiled broadly, clearly agreeing with Huo Yudie's words.

"Brother Chu, do you know a teacher named Zhou Yi? Is she a very responsible teacher?"

At this moment, her gaze fell on the smiling man, and her eyes were unconsciously drawn to him, filled with anticipation.

"Um……"

"Probably."

Chu Ge smiled, not wanting to shatter the image of their homeroom teacher in their minds, and nodded in agreement.

At that moment, a mechanical sound rang out, signaling the release of the system's latest task.

[Class Teacher Zhou Yi]

[Newbie host, your talent isn't particularly strong, and you easily make a bad impression on your demanding homeroom teacher, Zhou Yi.]

To be honest, she's already plotting how to expel you to improve her college admission rate.

Do your best to gain your homeroom teacher's approval and make the most of your time at Shrek Academy.

[Note: Zhou Yi is a Soul Emperor, possessing a Red Dragon Martial Soul and six optimally matched Soul Rings. Her strength is terrifying. The host is still weak, so please do not provoke her.]

"..."

Chu Ge fell silent.

Zhou Yi is a Soul Emperor with a total of six Soul Rings, which the system describes as "terrifying" to it.

Is it possible that he already has nine spirit rings, which is more than the standard combination?

"The system really is as mischievous as ever..."

Seemingly already accustomed to the system's actions, Chu Ge quickly stopped paying attention to it and instead looked at the system's reward, which immediately caught his eye.

"However, the rewards this time are just as generous as before."

[Quest Reward: Soul Power Experience Pill x9]

[Each dose can instantly increase cultivation level by one level, with no side effects or aftereffects. It is limited to those below the Title Douluo level, and only two doses can be taken in a lifetime.]

"Soul Power Experience Pill"

Chu Ge looked surprised.

It can boost one level of cultivation instantly, without any side effects or impact on one's foundation!

Although it has no effect on him above the Title Douluo level, it is a very good gift for all Soul Masters at the Soul Douluo level and below.

For example, in the original work, a certain master, who was stuck at level 29, absorbed a Soul Power Pill and was able to instantly break through from the Great Soul Master realm to level 30.

To become someone who experiences a thousand-year soul ring.

"That's a pretty good reward."

"In that case, we'll have to deal with Zhou Yi again."

Chu Ge had a smile on his face.

This time, we'll see if that guy behaves himself.

If they still don't behave and dare to attack their own disciples, then it won't be as simple as just stunning them like last time.

A shaman who is obsessed with expelling students to improve his college entrance rate instead of improving his own abilities—why not expel him?

Moreover, she expelled so many students.

Perhaps no one expected that one day...

I'll probably get fired too.

"I hope to meet some easy-going classmates in my class."

Huo Yudie, standing beside her, smiled gently, her eyes sparkling with excitement, clearly looking forward to campus life.

But soon, when her gaze swept across the notice board in front of her, her expression froze, and her eyes instantly turned serious.

She saw a very familiar name on the list of Class Two in front of her—

Dai Huabin.

The name that left a deep impression on her, and at the same time caused her immense pain and suffering.

He was a bad guy who bullied his older brother when he was a child, and he was beaten up by him quite a few times.

She already knew that the other person was also a student in this year's class, but she didn't expect them to be in Class 2.

"He should already be a Soul Master. Even now that I have a master and Brother Tianmeng, my progress is still far behind his."

"Only by becoming very, very strong can I seek justice for my brother and mother..."

"I'll keep trying!"

Huo Yudie's eyes quickly hardened; she knew what she had to do and how to do it.

Blood debts must be repaid in blood; this is a principle everyone understands. She will definitely become strong and avenge herself!

"Rain Butterfly..."

Chu Ge observed the other party's behavior and his gaze also fell on the name Dai Huabin, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The Dai family, the Duke's mansion, is like a crooked beam supporting a crooked one; this kid will definitely not have the good fortune to escape disaster like in the original story.

"Master..."

Seemingly sensing the other person's gaze, Huo Yudie turned her head and met their kind eyes, instantly revealing a lovely smile on her face.

"By the way, Master, you're a teacher at the academy now, don't you have any students?"

At that moment, she suddenly remembered something, raised her head, and looked longingly at the person in front of her.

As a faculty member, the other party must also have some responsibility to guide students.

But in reality, she didn't want her master to become someone else's teacher; she really didn't want that.

"no."

"After all, I'm just a new teacher. These classes have already been assigned, so of course I won't be taking on any classes."

Chu Ge shook his head and smiled.

He can just hold a nominal position at Shrek Academy; as for being a teacher...

He knew himself very well. He truly possessed immense strength; on the way back, he could easily defeat a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in an instant.

Furthermore, with 18 twin martial souls gathered in a single soul ring, he might be unmatched even among the Super Douluo.

But if we were to let him teach...

If you don't have any real talent or skills and instead lead young people astray, aren't you just misleading them?

"My only task is to guide my disciples well."

That's enough.

The next moment, he smiled and patted Huo Yudie's head. What he really wanted to see was the moment when she took her revenge.

"Yay!"

Huo Yudie's eyes lit up immediately, and she said with a grin.

She knew it; her master was the best!

Tang Wutong, standing to the side, silently watched the scene unfold, feeling somewhat like a third wheel...

"But he doesn't seem to be a third wheel, after all, Brother Chu and Xiaoyudie aren't in a romantic relationship... um?"

Thinking of this, Tang Wutong suddenly stopped.

It seems my own thoughts are a bit dangerous.

"Hey everyone, it's here!"

"Yudie, Wutong, you've already been assigned to classes, right? Which class did you get into?"

Just then, a youthful and beautiful figure appeared beside them; it was Tang Ya.

"Hello, Sister Xiaoya. But how do you always manage to appear so suddenly like this?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Tang Wutong immediately fell into deep thought and couldn't help but voice her doubts.

Little Rain Butterfly beside her nodded silently, agreeing wholeheartedly.

During these two days at the academy, it seemed quite easy to run into Senior Sister Xiaoya, the leader of the Tang Sect. She appeared and disappeared without a trace, or as Master would say in a way she couldn't understand...

It's like a little android NPC.

"Haha, I was just strolling around over there when I ran into you guys."

Tang Ya's gaze involuntarily drifted to Chu Ge beside her, then quickly returned to the two women in front of her, and she spoke earnestly.

Perhaps at other times, my chance encounters wouldn't seem so real, but this time it was absolutely real...

If Xiaoyudie and Tang Wutong looked closely, they should be able to see Beibei's figure appearing by the window of the coffee shop behind them.

Beibei asked her out yesterday, saying she had something to tell her, but she didn't expect to see everyone there.

"Brother Chu."

Tang Ya's gaze fell on Chu Ge, and she greeted him sweetly.

"Xiaoya."

Chu Ge smiled slightly and nodded in acknowledgment.

But he clearly sensed that in a nearby coffee shop, a boy was gnashing his teeth in anger...

"It's him, it's him again!"

"Why is it this guy again? Damn it."

This was Bei Bei, who had invited Tang Ya out to play, and she was now in a completely bad mood.

As a man who had feelings for Tang Ya, long ago, probably before the end of the previous semester, he had, with the help of his best friend Xu Sanshi, devised a series of plans to pursue her.

For example, if the other person broke through level 30, he would go and hunt for a relatively important third spirit ring for them, and then confess his feelings to them on the way back. That was his original plan, but unfortunately...

Not only did he fail to find a suitable soul beast, but he also let Xiaoya be snatched away by this man who appeared out of nowhere, making him hunt for her soul ring.

This man seemed to hold a huge attraction for Xiaoya, but she remained completely calm, not at all!

How could I not panic?!

So this time, he once again asked her out to express his feelings.

They had both watched the other person walk out of the dormitory and were already planning to pop the champagne.

But just then, she saw the other person leave the coffee shop and then... walk over to the man's side.

"Okay, okay!"

"I can't even shout, but I'm completely mesmerized the moment someone shows up. Wow, that's really something!"

Beibei gritted her teeth angrily, and in a fit of rage, she stood up abruptly, unwilling to linger there any longer.

"Because of the butterfly effect caused by my time travel, are we still not a couple?"

Chu Ge looked puzzled. He remembered that the two seemed to be a couple in the original story, but it seemed that there was more to it than met the eye.

Who is your homeroom teacher?

Beside her, Tang Ya looked at the notice board covered with words, a smile on her face, and asked curiously.

She knows most of the teachers at the college, so she should be able to help her two younger sisters with their homework first.

As long as I'm not assigned to that woman's class, everything is fine.

"Hey."

"This is Ms. Zhou Yi."

Huo Yudie obediently pointed to the name on the notice board and answered truthfully.

"Uh?"

"Zhou, Zhou Yi?"

Upon seeing this very familiar name, Tang Ya couldn't help but look blank for a moment. Zhou Yi?

And it really was Zhou Yi!

"Sister Xiaoya, is this teacher not well-regarded?"

Tang Wutong quickly realized what was going on, and with a look of confusion on her face, she couldn't help but ask softly.

Judging from the person's reaction, this teacher doesn't seem to be very competent, or even...

Not quite up to par?

"This teacher is one of the more unreliable ones in our college. He was my former homeroom teacher, but he's been transferred to teach the first-year students now."

Tang Ya remained silent for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.

"and……"

"Brother Chu, do you remember the person who picked a fight with you yesterday? That's Zhou Yi."

The next moment, she looked at Chu Ge and said, her face filled with indescribable bitterness.

"What do you mean?"

Tang Wutong looked bewildered, while Huo Yudie's face showed shock.

"Yesterday's teacher..."

"Sister Xiaoya, is that the really mean female teacher who wanted to cause trouble for Master?"

Huo Yudie's expression instantly turned serious, her small face showing vigilance.

That person left a deep impression on her, since her master hadn't done anything, yet the other party had shown great malice.

"A bad teacher?"

"Looking for trouble with Brother Chu? What's going on!"

Hearing this explanation, Tang Wutong's little brain seemed to be overwhelmed, and her face showed a blank expression.

Brother Chu is clearly a very easy-going guy and a very caring mentor to his apprentices, yet the academy's teachers are picking on him.

"What exactly happened?!"

"Wu Tong, this is what happened..."

Huo Yudie, her face filled with anger, told Tang Wutong what had happened, and soon Tang Wutong showed the same angry expression.

"How could there be such a bad teacher? Brother Chu didn't do anything, yet he's picking a fight with us!?"

"This is what they mean by 'kindness gets you taken advantage of'!"

Tang Wutong was instantly furious. If they were making such a fuss just when others were applying for jobs, how outrageous must they actually be?

Suddenly, an idea came to mind:

"This person has already chosen his own death!"
