After waiting for nearly a few hours, Liu Yuxin, who was in charge of maintaining order on the Soul Guidance Train, reminded, "Attention, new students who are reporting, please be prepared. The Soul Guidance Train is about to depart!"
Upon hearing this, the other students excitedly responded, "Yes!"
They were finally going to East Sea Academy! At this moment, their excitement reached its peak!
However, Xu Sheng, with his calm demeanor, was somewhat conspicuous among the others, as most of the students reporting for attendance were about the same age as Tang Wulin!
Even so, no one commented further...
Following that, the Soul Guidance Train gradually began to accelerate, cutting through the air like an arrow, emitting a "buzz buzz buzz" of annoying noise...
...
Because the Soul Guidance Train traveled so fast, it soon arrived within the actual station of the East Sea Academy...
Xu Sheng, who had his eyes closed, resting, almost simultaneously opened his dark eyes quietly as they arrived...
The tense Tang Wulin next to him kept talking, "Brother Xu, you're awake?"
With a meaningful look, Xu Sheng hummed an "Mm!" in response...
His father, Tang San, also liked to be called 'brother'; could it be that this was a bit improper in terms of seniority?
Just then, Liu Yuxin's ethereal voice rang out again, "Newly joined students, we have arrived at East Sea Academy's station. Metal badges are being distributed to you now, which you will need for completing the registration process!"
Without delay, she quickly distributed a metal badge to each new student...
And of course, Tang Wulin was no exception!
Upon receiving his metal badge, he curiously toyed with it and discovered it had nothing special, just some numbers on it that he couldn't understand!
Liu Yuxin nodded in satisfaction and said in a gentle tone, "Alright! Now you can exit the train and freely explore the academy. Of course, limited to the Intermediate Division, and afterward, you can head to the academic affairs office to sign up!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the new students who were already impatient stood up eagerly, leaving the Soul Guidance Train to look over the academy where they would spend the next few years...
Seeing that all the students had left, Liu Yuxin then approached Tang Wulin and reminded, "Little brother, you should also go familiarize yourself with the academy, or you might get lost later on!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin glanced hesitantly at Xu Sheng beside him, "Brother Xu?"
Xu Sheng smiled and waved his hand, "Go on, I need to get myself an identity as a teacher at East Sea Academy!"
Tang Wulin's disposition did seem a bit lacking! But considering his age, it was understandable...
Since Xu Sheng had said so, Tang Wulin naturally didn't dare say more and quickly nodded before leaving the Soul Guidance Train...
At this moment, on the now-empty Soul Guidance Train, only Liu Yuxin and Xu Sheng remained...
Liu Yuxin bit her lip and cautiously said, "Shall I take you to the academic affairs office now?"
The mere thought of this man's terrifying strength made her feel an involuntary shiver...
However, to become a teacher at East Sea Academy, strength alone wasn't enough!
Xu Sheng slowly stood up and laughed softly, "Yes, that would be great. Thank you!"
And so, the two of them walked toward the academy together...
Along the way, Liu Yuxin patiently explained the situation within the academy at Xu Sheng's initiative...
After some conversation, it became apparent that Xu Sheng was really easygoing, even making one almost forget previous unpleasantness...
Suddenly, Liu Yuxin stopped, pointed to the firmly closed door ahead, and said, "Xu Sheng, that over there is the academic affairs office! I have other matters to attend to, so I'll leave first. Good luck with your job application!"
If Xu Sheng succeeded in getting the job, could he become the teacher of her class?
With that thought, she didn't wait for Xu Sheng's reply and swiftly left...
Watching Liu Yuxin's hurried departure, Xu Sheng shrugged helplessly, "Do I really look that terrifying?"
Then, he turned his attention toward the sign next to the large door ahead...
It was, in fact, the office of the East Sea Academy Intermediate Division!
Xu Sheng pushed open the door without changing his expression and stepped inside...
He casually scanned the interior...
In a nutshell, one sentence would suffice: the decorations were very simple, yet they did not lack elegance...
Long Hengxu, who was sitting in his chair, saw Xu Sheng entering the office and rudely looking around...
In an instant, he fixed his sharp gaze on Xu Sheng and said coldly, "Hmm? Student, what can I do for you?"
On hearing that, Xu Sheng asked with a smile, "I assume you must be the director of East Sea Academy, correct?"
Long Hengxu, seeing that the young man before him was so relaxed in the face of his own authority, couldn't help but take a second look...
But at the same time, he also felt puzzled, somewhat incredulous that there was a student at East Sea Academy who didn't recognize him!
With that thought, he narrowed his eyes and said, "That's right, I am the director of the academic affairs office. What do you want?"
Xu Sheng said indifferently, "I am here to apply for a teaching position at East Sea Academy!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire office fell silent...
It took Long Hengxu a while to come to his senses, shocked he said, "Apply? You're not a student of East Sea Academy??"
What was going on?
This incredibly young man before him was actually here to apply for a teaching position at East Sea Academy!
What kind of international joke was this!
East Sea Academy was no ordinary academy that just accepted any odd teacher who applied!!
Xu Sheng, unaware of the thoughts churning in the other's mind, shook his head and denied, "No, it's my first time here!"
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Long Hengxu spoke with a cold voice, "You're so young, how strong could your soul power rank be? To apply for a teaching position, you need to be at least at the Soul King level!"
This young man before him, even at his best, only had soul power equivalent to a three-ringed Soul Ancestor!
With such meager strength, he shouldn't even dream about applying for a teaching position at East Sea Academy!
Xu Sheng just raised an eyebrow, "Soul King? Is that rank considered high?"
This contemptuous remark made Long Hengxu clench his teeth and curse inwardly, "Dammit! This guy really has no respect for anyone!"
Unable to hold back, he stood up and slammed the desk with a bang, shouting angrily, "Then I must see just how strong you really are! If you truly are above the level of a Soul King, why not let you be a teacher! If not, get out of East Sea Academy immediately!"
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, a curve appeared on Xu Sheng's lips, "Is that a promise?"
Applying for a teaching position at East Sea Academy was a lot easier than expected!
Long Hengxu just glared at him fiercely, "Hmph! Follow me! I don't want you to damage anything here. I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it!!"
If his soul power rank truly was above that of a Soul King, he would eat this desk!
And not just nibble on it—he would chomp it down, without a drop of water!
