Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 39 Joining Class Zero

Although somewhat unwilling, Nan Fusheng and his three companions, along with Wang Jinxi and Wei Xiaofeng, still ended up together.

Even Wei Xiaofeng wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the dean. But there was clearly some disharmony between the two sides.

Yu Zhen looked at the six children in front of him and couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows. He said coldly, "You guys are pretty capable! Do you think that just because you're outstanding among your peers, you're really capable? Look at you, what kind of state are you in? Two out of the seven of you have broken arms, and there's another one in the classroom with a broken leg."

The six people were stunned by the scolding. They hadn't expected Yu Zhen to start with a barrage of insults at them.

Yu Zhen continued with a cold expression, "I've already explained the purpose of establishing Class Zero: to prevent it from hindering your progress. But you little brats, put away your arrogance and behave yourselves properly, or don't blame the academy for being impolite."

I'm warning you, if this happens again, you'll be punished. Don't think you're all exceptionally talented now; let me tell you, that's called being narrow-minded. In the Federation, there are plenty of people far more capable than you.”

"This world has never lacked geniuses, nor has it lacked geniuses who die young. A genius who wants to become a great talent must also put in far more effort than ordinary people. Only in this way can you do justice to your talents. Do you all understand?"

"Understood." Faced with the Dean's powerful aura, the six of them felt somewhat ashamed.

"Sign this agreement." Yu Zhen flipped his wrist, revealing a stack of papers covered in writing, which he handed to the six people.

The six people subconsciously took the paper and pen. Nan Fusheng glanced at it and saw that the top of the paper read: Agreement.

The following content roughly states that I, XXX, voluntarily sign an agreement with Donghai Academy, agreeing not to transfer schools before completing my studies in the junior and senior high school sections of the academy.

That's roughly the gist of it.

What does this mean? All six of them were somewhat stunned.

"The academy has established Class Zero, and will be increasing its investment in you thereafter. Resources will be allocated in all aspects, so the academy wants to ensure that you can continue your studies here and not deviate from the right path due to unforeseen circumstances. Okay, sign now."

Xie Xie asked timidly, "Dean, shouldn't we talk to our family about signing this?"

Yu Zhen rolled his eyes. "Sure! Go back and communicate with them, but don't get involved with Class Zero. I'm very busy and don't have time to wait for you to do these things."

While they were talking, Nan Fusheng had already signed the agreement in his hand. For him, the agreement had no impact whatsoever. He had come here specifically for Class Zero, and even if he went to other colleges, he might not be able to get the same benefits as Class Zero.

Tang Wulin also signed a contract. He originally didn't know where else he could study besides Donghai Academy. The academy's willingness to allocate resources was like a windfall for someone like him who was originally a good-for-nothing; there was no reason for him not to sign.

Gu Yue signed almost right after Tang Wulin. Seeing that all three of them had signed, Xie Xie couldn't say anything more. It didn't seem like there was anything wrong with not leaving Donghai Academy.

On the other side, Wang Jinxi also signed, but Wei Xiaofeng hesitated. "Dean, it's not good to not discuss this with my family. I think we should discuss it, since my family might send me to a better academy in the advanced department in the future."

Yu Zhen nodded. "Everyone has their own ambitions. You can go back to Class Two. The number of students in Class Zero of the first year will be increased to six." As he spoke, he took back the agreement from Wei Xiaofeng's hand and waved to him.

A complex look appeared in Wei Xiaofeng's eyes, but in the end he did not take back the agreement. He bowed to the dean and then turned and headed towards the teaching building.

He left, and Dean Yu Zhen's previously stern expression changed. The previous seriousness, coldness, and ruthlessness melted away in an instant, replaced by a gentle smile.

This incredible face-changing skill left Tang Wulin and the other four somewhat stunned.

"Alright, now that you've signed this agreement, it means that from this moment on, you will become the core elite of the academy. We respect Wei Xiaofeng's choice, but I believe he will regret it in the future."

Although our Donghai Academy isn't ranked high on the continent, it is, after all, the only intermediate-level Soul Master academy in a major city. When the academy's resources are fully tilted towards you, even the legendary Shrek Academy might not be much stronger than us.

Hearing the dean's confident words, the four people who had just signed the agreement were visibly in better spirits. Only Nan Fusheng and Wu Changkong, who were not far away, twitched their lips slightly upon hearing this.

Well, the dean is a bit too confident. If it's true that when their soul power was still low, Donghai Academy's resources were tilted towards a few students, and these students were no less capable than those from Shrek Academy, then Nan Fusheng would believe it.

However, the gap becomes apparent when students reach the Soul Master level. Although the treatment of outer court students at Shrek Academy is basically the same as that of some advanced Soul Master academies,

However, Shrek Academy is located in the center of the continent, where you can find all kinds of resources and rare natural treasures. Moreover, its education follows the principle of "strength above all else."

If your skills aren't up to par, you'll be eliminated in no time. Nan Fusheng couldn't judge the merits of this educational system, but in terms of results, Shrek Academy has indeed produced many strong individuals.

Coupled with its reputation as the top academy on the continent, a steady stream of geniuses aim to join Shrek Academy, and they must pass various tests before they can be admitted.

A large group of geniuses compete and vie for dominance within the school. This atmosphere alone gives Shrek Academy a head start over many other prestigious academies.

Add to that all sorts of random tasks that torment students; completing them is a test of your ability, failing them means expulsion.

These experiences make Shrek Academy students far superior to students from other advanced academies in combat.

The inner courtyard also boasts the Golden Ancient Tree, a host of powerful individuals, and a mysterious brainwashing ability, which is why Shrek Academy has maintained its position as the number one academy on the continent.

However, Shrek Academy is too far removed from Nan Fusheng's current situation. Right now, he only wants to utilize the resources of Class Zero to improve himself.

Afterwards, through the Tianhai Grand Competition, he successfully advanced to the fourth rank and then decided what to do next.

With the establishment of Class Zero of the first year at Donghai Academy, the academy indeed gave them treatment far different from that of ordinary students.

The classroom was moved to a separate, spacious room, and their dormitories were also adjusted. Instead of four people sharing a room, each person had their own room, the same type of room as regular teachers. In other words, they directly enjoyed the same housing benefits as teachers. The six of them lived in adjacent rooms.

Upon hearing that Wang Jinxi had signed the agreement, Zhang Yangzi signed it without hesitation as well. Class 0 of Grade 1 was officially established, with a total of seven students including the homeroom teacher.

Wu Changkong was also assigned a new teacher dormitory, right next to their dormitory, and his accommodation was changed from the original dormitory to a suite.
