Chapter 22: chapter 22 meeting Qin Meng
After saying farewell to the three educational committee members Zhou Yan took Jun Tianlin out of the Academic Affairs Office.
"Teacher Zhou where are we going now?" Jun Tianlin asked curiously.
"I'll take you to the dormitory first You'll be living there from now on and Today you should familiarize yourself with heaven dou Royal Academy and tomorrow you'll join my class formally." Zhou Yan spoke kindly unable to hide her pride Jun Tianlin's remarkable talent had earned her an incredible student and she was eager to support his growth.
As they walked through the academy they encountered many male teachers all greeting Zhou Yan with enthusiasm and it was clear that her popularity was high among the academy staff a Young and beautiful with soul power that was nearing the Soul King level she naturally attracted attention However she responded to most with polite indifference until her expression softened when she spotted a young man approaching them.
"Teacher Qin Ming you're back from hunting a soul beast!" Zhou Yan greeted him and her eyes brightening.
The young man was notably younger than Zhou Yan with a handsome face with a confident stance and an aura of competence Jun Tianlin observed him closely. "Is this Qin Ming the Shrek Academy graduate mentioned in the original story?" He thought Qin Ming looked younger and are likely have just the Soul King level.
"Yes Teacher Zhou Yan" Qin Ming replied modestly. "I was fortunate on this trip I encountered a fire wolf that are just over 9,000 years old in the Star Dou Forest Now I've advanced to the Soul King level and am preparing to register as a tianzhi - level teacher here at the academy."
The fifth soul ring Qin Ming had obtained was impressive by typical standards Though Jun Tianlin knew it wasn't the maximum possible age he could get but he understood the achievement was notable particularly for a young teacher.
"Nine thousand years!" Zhou Yan exclaimed with admiration "Teacher Qin Ming you're only twenty-six and you've already reached the Soul King level The education committee believes you'll break through to the Soul king before the age of thirty-two and that would make you one of the youngest Soul Emperors on the continent!"
It was clear Zhou Yan admired Qin Ming With his strong talent and future potential he was destined to be a prominent figure Qin Ming acknowledged her compliment with a modest smile before turning his gaze to Jun Tianlin.
"By the way who is this child?" he asked noticing the young boy at Zhou Yan's side.
"Oh this is my new student Jun Tianlin," Zhou Yan introduced proudly. "He's seven years old and already an eighteenth-level battle spirit master Isn't he an incredible talent?"
Zhou Yan felt that having such a gifted student was a chance to impress Qin Ming If she managed to guide Tianlin to greatness it would enhance her standing in Qin Ming's eyes perhaps bridging the gap between them.
"Seven years old and already at level 18?" Qin Ming was astonished Even during his time at Shrek Academy he hadn't encountered such a prodigy.
"Congratulations Teacher Zhou on having such an outstanding student" he said "I have some experience with training students so perhaps we could exchange ideas on teaching methods in the future?"
It was the first time Qin Ming had taken the initiative to ask her out and Zhou Yan was visibly thrilled. "Of course!" she replied with a faint blush Meeting Jun Tianlin had indeed brought her good fortune.
"I must go see the education committee members now so I'll take my leave" Qin Ming said bowing slightly before walking away.
As Qin Ming departed Zhou Yan watched his retreating figure clearly still thinking about him and Noticing this Jun Tianlin couldn't help but tease "Teacher Zhou do you like Teacher Qin?"
Zhou Yan didn't get upset at Tianlin's question likely seeing it as innocent curiosity "Yes" she admitted openly "Teacher Qin is very talented He even noticed you so you must help me out in the future alright? If I manage to win his heart I'll buy you sweets every day!"
Jun Tianlin felt exasperated Here was his teacher who openly enlisting a seven-year-old's help to win over a man He couldn't decide whether she was a dedicated teacher or a lovestruck woman.
After walking a while longer Zhou Yan brought Jun Tianlin to the dormitory area and His room was on the third floor a luxurious space suited to his noble status and the furnishings and amenities were on par with what he'd had in the seven treasure glazed tile clan.
Imagining his 'friend' Tang San likely still residing in a cramped dormitory with a dozen other students Jun Tianlin couldn't help but feel a bit smug Although he had to admit Tang San did have Xiao Wu a cute companion who shared with his bed something Jun Tianlin found himself a little envious of.
After settling him into his room Zhou Yan handed him two books "Alright Xiaotian I need to head out but your student card will be delivered later These books are important the first book covers the school rules and the second book is an introduction to the academy Please read them both carefully to understand how everything works here"
"Thank you Teacher," Tianlin replied obediently accepting the books As soon as Zhou Yan left however he tossed the book of school rules aside He knew the basics no fighting outside of formal matches and yet he doubted students truly followed such guidelines and Without a real enforcement the rules were practically meaningless.
The academy guidebook was more intriguing It listed all the facilities on campus information on the students as well as the locations of canteens and various specialized training areas.
According to the book heaven dou Royal Academy had 557 students across fourteen classes and Those with soul power between levels 15 and 25 were in the lowest class Tianwei while those between levels 25 and 30 made up the intermediate Tianzhi class The few with soul power above level 30 formed the elite Tiandou class.
Teachers were ranked similarly: Tianwei for levels forty to fifty, Tianzhi for fifty to sixty, and Tiandou for those above sixty.
In all the academy boasted a single tiandou-level class, three Tianzhi classes, and ten Tianwei classes. This meant only around forty students were above level 30 while the majority fell into the lowest class are Tianwei.
"Only forty out of over five hundred are above level 30… pitiful" Jun Tianlin muttered with disdain and He realized that the academy even with all its prestige are still struggled to nurture truly exceptional students.
After briefly studying the guide he tossed it aside as well Taking a seat on his bed and he began meditating He was determined to remain focused on his training and to avoid becoming complacent like many of the students around him He had his own path to follow and he intended to stay on it no matter what temptations or distractions arose.
