Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 49 Exposure

"The Dean?"

Looking at the man before him, who exuded a gentle aura and possessed an incredibly powerful life force yet appeared so young, Luo Chen couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This handsome man, who looks even younger than Du Weiren, is actually the dean of Shrek Academy?

However, the next moment, Luo Chen realized that the two Title Douluo-level figures he had seen earlier were Xuanzi and Mu En. Although they were powerful, they were over a hundred years old.

Therefore, even if one breaks through to the level of a nine-ring titled Douluo, which can increase vitality to a certain extent, it is impossible to "stay young forever"; one will still age as one is meant to.

The dean of Shrek Academy in front of him was only sixty years old at most, so he naturally looked younger. However, once he reached a certain age, his life force would have almost completely dissipated, and he would inevitably age rapidly.

"Hello, Dean! Hello, Director!"

Upon hearing Bei Bei's words, Tang Ya and the others beside her all stood up and bowed to the two people walking towards them.

However, in the next moment, a gentle soul force quietly emerged, lifting them up. Although this soul force was gentle, it gave Luo Chen and the others an irresistible feeling. This soul force came from the handsome man standing in front of them.

In just a moment, Wang Dong, Tai An, and Luo Chen, who were seeing the dean for the first time, all felt the power of the dean in front of them!

Despite not releasing even a trace of his own aura, he was able to silently channel his soul power. In fact, this soul power, which should have been invisible, was almost becoming tangible. Such subtle control over soul power was simply outrageous!

Just as Luo Chen and the others were surprised, the handsome man's gaze fell on Luo Chen, and then he asked Du Weiren beside him:

"Velen, is this the talented student you mentioned to me before?"

"Yes, Dean Yan, speaking of which, I personally handled the procedures when this student came to Shrek Academy to register. If I remember correctly, student Luo Chen?"

Du Weilen first answered the question from the dean beside him, and then smiled and asked Luo Chen in front of him.

"If you remember correctly, Director Du, we meet again after only a few days."

Upon hearing Du Weiren's words, Luo Chen still understood what he meant. Du Weiren wanted to introduce him to the dean. Although he couldn't gain any benefit from it now, at least he could become a familiar face to the dean.

By connecting with Du Weiren, he can get to know the dean of Shrek Academy, which will give him more advantages when he studies in other departments in the future.

"Haha, so it was you, Viren, who personally received this little guy. No wonder he came to me to report on him at the very beginning of this semester. But this little guy's talent and overall strength are indeed quite good."

After seeing Du Weiren and Luo Chen introduce themselves, the handsome man nodded, then looked at Luo Chen and the others before him. After scanning them around, he finally smiled with a dignified yet gentle expression and said:

"Hello, little ones. Bei Bei and Tang Ya, these two members of the Tang Clan, are probably already quite familiar with me. However, many of you are meeting me for the first time, so let me introduce myself first."

"My name is Yan Shaozhe, and I am the dean of the Spirit Department at Shrek Academy. The person next to me is Du Weilun, the director of teaching at the Spirit Department. The reason I came here is because of you, Luo Chen."

"Me?"

Seeing that Yan Shaozhe had turned the conversation to him, Luo Chen's face showed a perfectly timed look of confusion.

"That's right, Luo Chen. We saw your match with Xu Sanshi just now. It was very good. Both your strength and your control of the timing of the battle were perfect. I am very satisfied with that."

"I think even in the entire outer academy of Shrek Academy, there are probably very few newly enrolled students who can do better than you, which is why I came here to find you."

As Yan Shaozhe spoke, his eyes revealed an undisguised appreciation for Luo Chen, clearly indicating that his words came from the heart.

However, Luo Chen was flattered. He had only intended to use this little incident to trick Xu Sanshi out of some resources, but he hadn't expected to attract the attention of this highly respected dean of Shrek Academy. He waved his hand and said:

"Dean, you flatter me too much. I am well aware of my own abilities. The reason I was able to defeat Senior Xu Sanshi this time was simply because I used some tricks to catch him off guard."

"Otherwise, in a direct confrontation, with my cultivation only at the second ring, I definitely wouldn't be able to contend with Senior Xu Sanshi. Besides, this match wasn't a one-man battle; I also owe a lot to my junior brother!"

As Luo Chen spoke, he pointed to Huo Yuhao, who was sitting on the sofa and had just recovered. When Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun in front of him looked over in the same direction as Luo Chen, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but show a bit of nervousness.

However, Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun only glanced at Huo Yuhao next to Yan before looking away. Clearly, they weren't very interested in Huo Yuhao, since they had already watched the entire match.

A student with only one ring of cultivation and a single ten-year white soul ring could only offer minimal assistance to Luo Chen, given the extremely low age of his soul ring.

Shrek Academy's outer court receives many students every year, but very few of them have a ten-year-level first spirit ring. Therefore, in the eyes of Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun, Huo Yuhao is just an ordinary student.

In comparison, Luo Chen was much more conspicuous. Not only was he a two-ring Great Soul Master who was about to break through to the three-ring Soul Master level, but his own Martial Soul and Soul Skills also greatly interested Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun.

Yan Shaozhe first patted Luo Chen on the shoulder with a smile, and then said:

"Hehe, Luo Chen, you're too modest. I didn't mean to exaggerate at all; I was just stating the facts. In my opinion, with your talent, you're destined to become a leader in the Soul Master world."

"However, I just watched your match and I have quite a few questions. Could you please answer them for me?"

Upon seeing Yan Shaozhe suddenly move closer and ask a question in a voice only the two of them could hear, Luo Chen was taken aback at first, then nodded and said:

"Of course, Dean, please ask."

However, just as he nodded in agreement, Yan Shaozhe's words made him tremble and tense up:

"My question is, does your own martial spirit possess the ability to take the lives of others?"
