Douluo Continent: Evil Flames Burn the Heavens, a Blessed Start with Many Children

"You little brat!"

"What are you doing in my office so early!?"

"You're not planning to beat me up, are you?"

Lu Heqiu was sitting in the seat that originally belonged to Du Weilin. Today, Lu Heqiu was still wearing a white robe. When he saw Du Weilin, he raised his signature smile and waved to Du Weilin.

Good morning, Director Du.

"I'm here to ask the college for something, which might even require the dean's personal approval."

Seeing his smile, Du Weilen immediately understood that this young man had come with ill intentions, and said irritably, "Why are you coming to me about something that requires the dean's approval?"

"Do you want to be transferred back to the inner courtyard, or do you want to beat me up?"

"Let me make this clear beforehand: even if Dean Yan approves of beating me up, it doesn't count. I won't allow it!"

Lu Heqiu got up and put the teacup down for him, then sat down politely opposite him. He looked no different from any other good student, except for the cunning glint in his eyes that was no match for Du Weilun.

"Look at what you're saying. How could a teacher like me, who has devoted himself to the academy and risked his own life, possibly beat you up?"

"I noticed that the students in Class One lack combat experience, and I'd like to request that several instructors jointly lead them to the Star Dou Great Forest for training. Do you think this requires the Dean's approval?"

Just as Du Weilun picked up his teacup to take a sip, he almost spat the tea all over Lu Heqiu.

Don't even think about it!

Do you know how many students are in your class?

"More than twenty!"

"Do you even know how many sects, organizations, and empires stand behind them? You think you can lead them out with just a few teachers? Dream on!"

"Not even Dean Yan can make a decision on this matter directly, let alone me. It requires the approval of multiple leaders in the Spirit Department and the personal protection of a Title Douluo to make it possible for so many students to go out!"

"Get out! Stop gossiping with me. Just focus on teaching and stop causing trouble!"

Du Weilun's voice was loud, directly rejecting Lu Heqiu's suggestion. He even warned Lu Heqiu in an unfriendly tone that if he wanted to take so many students out at once, he would have to get past him first!

Besides, what kind of good person would take their students to wander around the Star Dou Great Forest for no reason?

That's where you hunt for spirit rings!

If you're hunting for spirit rings, it's fine to take one or two people with you, but what if something goes wrong if you take more than twenty? Who says it's impossible for 100,000-year-old spirit beasts to appear in the outer areas?

If chaos breaks out in the core area, even ferocious beasts might appear on the outskirts!

Once you go out, no one can guarantee that you will be absolutely safe!

"They really are no good," Lu Heqiu said, equally annoyed. "Look at them yourselves. Forget comparing them to Xiao Tao, they can't even compare to Xu Sanshi. Graduates like these will just be lambs to the slaughter, won't they?"

"What good is that little bit of soul beast experience in the arena!"

"Don't tell me they'll have plenty of opportunities to enter the inner courtyard in the future. Five out of these twenty people? You're kidding me. Think about it carefully. I'll wait for your news!"

After Lu Heqiu finished speaking, he stood up, looking nonchalant and showing no respect for Du Weilun whatsoever. Instead, he spoke with an air of self-righteousness, saying, "I'm doing this for the students' future."

Du Weilun's face turned pale and then purple from being contradicted. Although he knew the drawbacks of the outer academy students, and even the elders of the Sea God Pavilion knew it, no one had ever thought of focusing on cultivating the outer academy students.

After all, the inner courtyard is the real Shrek Academy!

The outer courtyard was merely a place for them to select their most outstanding talents.

"You brat, get back here right now!"

"Did I tell you to leave? I'm the director, you're the teacher, can't you even have a basic sense of hierarchy?"

Du Weilun angrily cursed at Lu Heqiu, who was about to step out the door. "This guy is too disrespectful. Now he's even talking back to me, the director. What will he be like in the future?"

"Let me be clear with you, you're not qualified to lead an entire class out. If you ever become a Title Douluo, let alone leading a class, I wouldn't be able to control you even if you took all the outer academy students to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"However, you said you wanted to take someone out for some experience... has someone promising talent been discovered?"

Du Weilun stared intently at Lu Heqiu, hoping that Lu Heqiu could give him a passable answer. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to resist beating up the kid, even if he was accused of bullying the weak.

"There is a promising talent... do you have a solution?"

Seeing that Du Weilun was about to relent, Lu Heqiu nodded slightly. He could find some promising talents, but if he had to name some, Jiang Nannan from Class 1, as well as Xu Sanshi and Beibei from other grades, would all be considered promising talents.

To be precise, Tang Ya's statement is not accurate, since it was an accident, and Lu Heqiu could not have created such an accident.

However, if Du Weiren really needed it, he could give a reasonable explanation.

"What a load of rubbish!"

"However... recently a group of students from the outer academy broke through to level 40. They are sixth-year students, and the outer academy is preparing to select three teachers to help them hunt for spirit rings. If you really have three or five promising talents that you want to take out and have them experience..."

"You can use this as an excuse to take him out and try it out. Just say that you might take on disciples in the future and gain some experience. But I can't guarantee that Dean Yan will sign this list when he sees it. If you're lucky, it might actually work."

"Who are the promising students in Class One?"

Du Weilun produced another list from somewhere, waiting for Lu Heqiu to give the answer. Without hesitation, Lu Heqiu directly said Jiang Nannan's name. Du Weilun, as expected of the head of the Martial Soul Department, found Jiang Nannan's name at a glance.

"Jiang Nannan? Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul... To be honest, I haven't paid much attention to her. While her talent might allow her to enter the inner academy, no one can guarantee that. It's up to you whether she'll get in or not. What else could she possibly be?"

Lu Heqiu didn't say anything more. The others weren't students from Class One anymore. He immediately stood up and walked towards the door. Du Weilun could also see that this kid hadn't found any good prospects at all, and he was immediately furious.

"You made all these dumplings just for this dish of vinegar?!"

"Get out! Don't let me see you for three days!"

Lu Heqiu didn't argue back. "Go ahead and curse. When I get to Contra, I'll be the first to beat you up, Du Weiren!"

However, it was indeed for this plate of dumplings wrapped in vinegar. There was no other way; normally, it would take too long to win over Jiang Nannan, and Lu Heqiu didn't have that much time to waste. The others were waiting for Lu Heqiu's strategy!

Tang Ya, Ju Zi, and Su Tong—aren't they all eagerly awaiting with their buttocks up?

Lu Heqiu is busy!

"Director Du, please don't forget to write my name down."

"I will bring some students that I consider to be outstanding in a few days."
