"May I ask what brings our distinguished guest to our humble Slake Academy?"
"If there is anything we can do to help, just ask, and we will do our utmost!"
In his view, it was strange that a powerful figure like Su Xin would suddenly appear in their desolate place.
It's definitely not as simple as just registering for school.
Could it be that he has his eye on something in the academy? Or does he have a grudge against someone in the academy?
Flander's mind raced, considering all the possibilities.
Upon hearing this, Su Xin chuckled softly.
"Dean Flander, you've misunderstood."
He pointed to himself, then to the Zhu sisters beside him.
"I'm here today to enroll in school."
"Huh?" Flander and Zhao Wuji were both stunned, their faces full of question marks.
An eighteen-year-old Soul Emperor came to their place, which only accepts monsters under the age of twelve, to enroll in school?
What kind of international joke is this?
"Please stop making fun of us," Zhao Wuji said with a wry smile, scratching his head.
"With your abilities, you're more than qualified to be our teacher, so why would you need to be a student?"
"None of us here are foolish enough to teach a monster like you!"
That's absolutely true.
Why would a Soul Saint teach an eighteen-year-old Soul Emperor?
Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?
However, Su Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Oh? Your words have reminded me."
He stroked his chin, looked at the obsequious Flander, and said slowly:
"Since I can't be a student, how about I become a teacher?"
"What?!" Flander and Zhao Wuji were stunned again.
Did they hear it correctly?
An eighteen-year-old Soul Emperor with unfathomable strength and a promising future.
They actually thought of becoming a teacher at their dirt-poor, run-down college.
Are you after their college's good food? Or are you after them because they can't pay salaries?
Just as Flander was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a brilliant idea suddenly flashed through his shrewd mind.
An eighteen-year-old Soul Emperor comes to be a teacher!
What... what does this mean?
This is a huge gimmick!
The youngest Soul Emperor in the history of the continent teaches at Slake Academy!
Once this news gets out, won't the reputation of Slake Academy instantly resound throughout the entire continent?
At that time, will we still have to worry about not having talented students scrambling to get in?
Are you still worried about not having Gold Soul Coins flowing into your pocket?
This time we're really going to make a fortune!
Flander's eyes, hidden behind his glasses, instantly transformed into the shape of a gold soul coin.
He looked at Su Xin as if he were looking at a money tree, a hen that could lay golden eggs!
As for why Su Xin would make such a strange request, he no longer cared at all!
Who cares what he's after!
As long as I can keep this Buddha statue at the academy, I'd rather be a teacher than not.
Even if he wanted to be the dean, he would have to beg and plead to give up the position!
"Welcome! Welcome! A warm welcome!"
Flander's face instantly lit up with an incredibly enthusiastic smile. He rushed forward and almost grabbed Su Xin's leg.
"Su Xin... oh no, Teacher Su!"
"It is an honor and a great honor for our Slake Academy that you have deigned to teach here!"
His change in attitude was so swift and his fawning so intense that even Zhao Wuji, who was standing nearby, was stunned.
"From today onwards, you are a top-tier teacher at our Slake Academy! Your status is equal to mine!"
"No! He's taller than me! You can freely access all the resources in the academy!"
Flander acted decisively, as if afraid that Su Xin would change his mind, and loudly announced the decision in front of everyone.
"Li Yusong! Dai Mubai! What are you two standing there for? Hurry up and greet Teacher Su!"
Flander turned and roared at the two who had already turned to stone.
Li Yusong was startled and quickly bowed, saying, "Greetings...Greetings, Teacher Su!"
Dai Mubai's face was deathly pale, and his lips were trembling.
In the end, he reluctantly lowered his proud head and squeezed out three words through gritted teeth.
“…Teacher Su.”
For him, hearing "Teacher Su" was more painful than being killed.
His future fiancée was stolen by this man.
Now, this man has become his teacher.
Is there anything more humiliating than this in the world?
Su Xin watched this scene with satisfaction, feeling a sense of ease in his heart.
This is the result he wanted.
The moment Flander announced the appointment, a cold, mechanical voice rang in his mind right on time.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Join Slake Academy!]
[Task Evaluation: Perfect!]
[Task rewards have been distributed! 】
[Host, would you like to initiate Martial Soul Awakening now?]
A cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind, and a subtle, unnoticed smile appeared on Su Xin's lips.
This golden touch, twelve years overdue, is finally beginning to play its true role.
Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, the only one who possesses twin martial souls is the so-called chosen one, Tang San.
And Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
And now, Su Xin will also become one of these rare individuals!
"Awaken now?"
Su Xin asked himself silently.
He glanced at the awe, fear, and curiosity on the faces around him, and shook his head.
"Wait a minute."
Are you kidding me? The awakening of the second martial soul will definitely cause quite a stir.
To awaken in front of so many people, wouldn't that expose all your hidden cards to the light of day?
He understood the principle of not flaunting one's wealth.
This kind of good thing must be enjoyed in a secluded place, behind closed doors.
"Teacher Su, what do you think... should we go in now, or..."
Flander rubbed his hands together and asked with a fawning expression.
He didn't want Su Xin out of his sight for a moment, fearing that this hard-won money tree would fly away in the blink of an eye.
"Okay, let's go in." Su Xin nodded.
He reached out and naturally pulled Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun into his arms again.
Zhu Zhuqing nestled against him like a little bird, her eyes filled with adoring admiration.
Although Zhu Zhuyun's body was still somewhat stiff, she did not put up any further resistance.
She has completely resigned herself to her fate.
What to resist?
Compared to an eighteen-year-old Soul Emperor, her meager Soul Master strength was no different from that of an ant.
Rather than making futile struggles and angering this capricious demon king, it's better to obediently follow him.
At least, by following him, she would never have to face that tragic fate again, nor would she have to face her own sister in a life-or-death struggle.
Perhaps... this isn't such a bad thing.
Zhu Zhuyun's eyes became complicated, without her even realizing it.
In her gaze toward Su Xin, besides humiliation and resentment, a different emotion had quietly crept in.
"Alright, alright! Ms. Su, please come in! And you two students, please come in as well!"
Flander and Zhao Wuji stood on either side of him, like two loyal bodyguards.
He bowed and scraped as he led the way, guiding Su Xin and the other two into Slade Academy.
A dramatic recruitment farce came to an end in a way no one could have predicted.
