Douluo Continent: Becoming a disciple of Jing Liu, illuminating all the gods

Chapter 4 New Student Enrollment

"Yuhao, what are you looking at?" Beibei asked as she walked over.

Huo Yuhao shook his head, "It's nothing, I'm just curious what kind of person gets surrounded by a group of people on the first day of school."

"Ah...Nanaya!"

Beibei also noticed Chen Qiye in the crowd at this moment.

"Senior Brother, you know him."

However, Bei Bei seemed not to hear Huo Yuhao's voice, and instead called out to Chen Qiye, "Qiye, over here!"

Just now, Bei Bei thought Huo Yuhao was looking at someone else. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an old acquaintance of his.

"Beibei, it's you!" Chen Qiye said as he walked over.

"It's not Seven Nights, how many times have I told you? It has to be 'brother' after my name."

Chen Qiye clicked his tongue. "Tch, you're not that much older than me, yet you want to call me 'brother'? Sister Lexuan is alright, but you..."

Chen Qiye glanced at Bei Bei, "Let's talk again when your soul power surpasses mine by five levels!"

"Beibei, he is the grandson you mentioned who was adopted by your grandfather, Chen Qiye."

Beibei nodded to Tang Ya.

"Who is he?" Chen Qiye looked at Huo Yuhao, who remained silent beside him.

Although Chen Qiye had already guessed who this person was, it would be strange to say that he knew him, so Chen Qiye pretended not to know him.

"Oh, look at my memory, I haven't introduced it to you yet."

After Bei Bei finished speaking, she introduced them to Chen Qiye, "This is Huo Yuhao, our Tang Sect's newly accepted junior brother, and this is Tang Ya, the Tang Sect Master."

"So you're the Tang Clan leader..." Chen Qiye looked at Bei Bei with a sly smile. "No wonder Sister Le Xuan has been a bit down ever since you joined the Tang Clan, so that's why..."

Beibei immediately jumped over and covered Chen Qiye's mouth, saying in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You know that there's nothing between me and Sister Lexuan. On the contrary, Sister Lexuan is actually quite..."

"Beibei (Senior Brother), what are you talking about?" Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao asked in confusion.

"Haha, it's nothing, I just haven't seen this younger brother for a few months, so I'm getting to know him better and learn about our private affairs."

"Isn't that right!" Beibei gave Chen Qiye a look as she said this.

"Yeah! Oh, by the way, judging from your expressions, is your junior brother also going to register this year?"

"yes!"

"It just so happens that you and Qiye are in the same grade. I'll have to ask you to take good care of this junior brother for me in the future."

Chen Qiye glanced at Bei Bei, then at Huo Yuhao, and said, "Alright!" However, none of the three noticed how intriguing Chen Qiye's gaze was towards Huo Yuhao.

The four then traveled together, and along the way, Bei Bei introduced Shrek Academy's facilities to the two of them, or rather, to Huo Yuhao.

Beibei pointed to the teaching buildings on the other side of the square: "The colors of the teaching buildings represent different grades, distinguished by the colors of the spirit rings. White is the freshman teaching building, like the lowest-level ten-year spirit rings; yellow is the teaching building for the second and third years of the outer academy; purple is the teaching building for the fourth and fifth years; and black is the teaching building for the sixth year. Being able to walk out of the black teaching building means you've already received your outer academy graduation certificate."

"Those gray teaching buildings in the distance belong to the Soul Guidance Department. In terms of area, the Soul Guidance Department occupies about one-third of the main teaching area, while the Martial Soul Department occupies two-thirds. In addition to these teaching buildings at the front, there are many other specific teaching areas behind them, such as the Soul Battle Arena, the Examination Area, the Dormitory Area, the Teacher's Office Area, and so on."

The white freshman teaching building is located on the southernmost side and is closest to the lakeside path. Chen Qiye and Bei Bei walked along the south side of Shrek Square and arrived at this teaching building.

Because it was the time for new student enrollment, the new student teaching building was particularly lively, with some new students who had passed the assessment registering and reporting for duty here.

With Bei Bei and Tang Ya's guidance, Huo Yuhao's registration and enrollment went very smoothly. Bei Bei paid the tuition, which was a whopping ten gold soul coins for a single academic year, not including meals. Tuition was non-refundable if he failed the assessment and dropped out midway.

After receiving his dormitory key, two sets of school uniforms, and a white freshman badge, Huo Yuhao followed Tang Ya and Bei Bei out of the freshman teaching building.

Chen Qiye also received his clothes and paid the registration fee.

Tang Ya said, "Xiao Yuhao, the dormitory is right behind the teaching building, in the largest building in the entire college. You can go there by yourself later. The new school year officially starts in three days, so you can familiarize yourself with the environment in the next few days."

"We've paid your tuition for the first year. After that, it's up to you. The academy has various competitions with prize money. Also, now that you're a Soul Master, after registering at the academy, you'll receive a monthly salary from the three great empires. If you're frugal, it should be enough for food."

Huo Yuhao remembered Tang Ya's words one by one.

But Bei Bei pulled Chen Qiye aside and said, "You really won't consider what I'm talking about?"

"Forget it." Chen Qiye waved his hand. "You know I'm a free spirit by nature, and I don't do things the way things are. You want me to go and develop in a sect? I'd rather go back and sleep."

"Sigh, alright then."

Just as she was about to say goodbye to the two, Beibei frowned slightly as she looked at a notice on the bulletin board not far away.

Although Chen Qiye's martial soul does not belong to the spiritual category, Jingliu taught him more than just swordsmanship over the past six years.

Chen Qiye's improvement encompasses all aspects of his body, skills, spirit, and mind. Even without activating his martial soul, he can clearly see characters that are only a few centimeters wide from a distance of over 100 meters.

The notice read: Class Teacher of Freshman Class 1: Zhou Yi; Class Teacher of Freshman Class 2: ...

Zhou Yi? I think I'm in Class 1 of the freshmen! Huo Yuhao was directly assigned to Class 1 of the freshmen because he registered early.

Tang Ya also noticed what Bei Bei was looking at and exclaimed in a low voice, "Huh? How come it's that perverted old hag Zhou Yi? Isn't she supposed to teach third grade? How come she's been assigned to teach freshmen?"

Tang Ya smiled wryly and said, "I heard that Teacher Zhou was too strict when teaching third-year students, resulting in only one-tenth of her class advancing to the fourth grade."

"And it was only because the students complained to the academy multiple times that he was demoted to the freshman class. Junior brother, you'd better be careful. There aren't many monster students in Shrek Academy's outer court, but there are quite a few monster teachers, especially this Teacher Zhou."

Although Tang Ya said that, Huo Yuhao still felt a slight admiration. To be a teacher hailed as a monster at Shrek Academy meant her teaching talent was absolutely top-notch.

Chen Qiye rolled his eyes, scoffing at the so-called monster teacher...

Although Chen Qiye was born at Shrek Academy, it doesn't mean he had any affection for Shrek Academy.
