PS: A place to store the brain.
Notting Academy, Academic Affairs Office.
“Han Yu, I’ve said it before, Tang San doesn’t need your teaching.
He’s my disciple, Yu Xiaogang.
Don’t you know the rules?”
(TL: an mc trying to help tang san?
Sus start)
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, head held high, his eyes filled with contempt.
‘A mere Soul Master from a tiny place dares to argue with me, Yu Xiaogang?
They are utterly ignorant and arrogant.’
“Yu Xiaogang, let me tell you, even if you’re the dean’s friend, it’s useless.
I’m the dean of students!
Tang San and Xiao Wu have skipped class multiple times and must be punished!” Han Yu stood up angrily and shouted.
“Hmph, you think you can challenge me just because you’re the dean of the students?
Just wait until the dean deals with you!” Yu Xiaogang flung his sleeves and stormed out of the teaching office.
“Yu Xiaogang, you just wait!” Han Yu sneered.
He was originally a transmigrator from Earth.
Four years ago, the original owner of the body died in an accident while helping students hunt soul beasts, and he “usurped” the body.
Unfortunately, the original owner’s talent was limited, and his innate level four soul power was ultimately not enough to make a big difference.
Even though Han Yu cultivated day and night, he has only just broken through to level forty.
It is worth mentioning that the original Dean of Studies, Director Su, was getting old, and Han Yu had been promoted to Soul Ancestor in just two years.
Out of his love for talent, he took the initiative to step down from the position of Dean and appointed Han Yu to succeed him.
Four years ago, he heard the system’s voice, but unfortunately, the system had just begun to bind and then fell into a deep sleep.
Without a system and lacking talent, he kept a very low profile in the academy, fearing that Tang Hao, that lunatic, would come knocking on his door.
Today, because Tang San’s behavior was so egregious that it angered many teachers, he had no choice but to step forward.
[Ding-dong, binding complete.
Please complete the task as soon as possible.]
“System, it really is a system.” Han Yu felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.
Now, the system is back.
‘Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, fortunes change every thirty years, never underestimate a young person’s potential.’
“Director Han, why don’t you explain this to the dean?
Tang San was in the wrong in this matter.
The dean is discerning and will certainly not blame you,” the old teacher Mo Hen quickly reminded him.
“With the system, there’s no need to stay cooped up in Notting City.
After saying goodbye to the dean and old man Su, I’ll leave.”
‘These two people have taken good care of me over the years, and to leave without a word seems incredibly disrespectful.’
Ignoring the teachers’ advice, Han Yu quickly returned to his dormitory.
Lying on the bed, a thought flashed through his mind, and the system panel immediately appeared in his mind.
[Name: Han Yu]
[Soul Power: Level 40]
(TL: how old was mc again… its either cause I read too many douluo fanfics or maybe I just got early onset dementia but I already forgot if mcs age was mentioned lol)
[Martial Soul 1: Fire Stick]
[Martial Soul II: Unlocked upon completion of the mission]
[Task: Within six months, add a 100,000-year soul ring to your fourth soul ring; the type is not limited.
Upon completion, the reward is a second martial soul and an upgrade to the first martial soul.
If the task fails, nothing will be deducted.
Haha~]
(TL: ig xiao wu is fucked)
Nothing to deduct
Han Yu: “.”
Looking at the data on the system panel, Han Yu felt utterly exhausted.
‘Damn it, while the Fire Stick Martial Soul isn’t exactly a useless one, it’s only ranked among the ordinary ones.
It’s only slightly better than Yu Xiaogang’s Pig Martial Soul.’
“You managed to get a 100,000-year soul ring within six months?
System, do you really think I’m the young master of one of the three upper sects?!”
‘Despite the complaints, upon closer reflection, isn’t there a walking 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone right beside me?’
He would feel no remorse for killing Tang San and Xiao Wu.
In his previous life, after reading the Douluo Continent novel, he disliked Tang San quite a bit.
‘I will not let any of those who hurt Xiao Wu get away with it.’
Xiao Wu deliberately caused trouble, and because she was not strong enough, she was taught a lesson.
This was a way to get herself killed.
Even if all parents in the world, when their child falls while learning to walk, they wouldn’t say that the ground beneath their feet is a path to death, would they?
This purely morbid view ultimately stems from Tang San’s lack of family education in both his lifetimes.
In his previous life, he was an adopted orphan, abandoned at the Tang Sect from a young age.
As he grew up, he went astray and stole the Tang Sect’s secret techniques.
In this life, he finally has a family.
But Tang Hao is always in a daze and doesn’t care about Tang San at all.
It’s obvious what kind of person such a family can raise.
Thinking of this, Han Yu even felt a little sorry for Tang San.
However, this thought vanished in an instant.
The saying “Every pitiful person has something hateful about them” is absolutely true!
“Xiao Wu’s Soul Ring is indeed worth taking, but the Soul Skills it can provide are really too weak.
The Soft Bone Rabbit isn’t a powerful Soul Beast either.”
After much deliberation, Han Yu finally decided to try his best to find traces of other soul beasts within the next six months.
When a soul beast reaches 100,000 years old, it will face a heavenly tribulation.
Many soul beasts have bruises in their bodies due to their early life, making it impossible for them to survive the heavenly tribulation.
Han Yu’s idea was that if he happened to encounter a suitable soul beast, he could use his silver tongue to persuade it to sacrifice itself for him.
If they fail, the worst that can happen is death.
Besides, soul beasts facing heavenly tribulation will undoubtedly do everything in their power to survive, even if it’s just an empty promise.
In contrast, Xiao Wu not only has a worthless Soul Ring and Soul Bone, but Tang Hao is also constantly watching her, making it extremely difficult to force her to sacrifice herself.
Even if he obtains a Soul Ring, Han Yu, at level 40-something, will have no way to escape Tang Hao’s revenge.
“If we count the days, it’s still more than five months until Tang San graduates from Notting Academy.
If there’s really no other way, we’ll just kidnap them on the way and force Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself.”
(TL: then rn the main crew is between 11-12 years old, well like half of them)
It’s always good to have a backup plan for things like this.
Relying on his connections, Han Yu asked the head of the Notting City Spirit Hall Branch Hall to keep an eye out for news about 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
As a scholar himself, he claimed he wanted to study 100,000-year-old soul beasts, so the temple master, Orto, didn’t suspect much.
…
“Ring ring~”
As the crisp school bell rang, Notting Academy began its afternoon classes.
Because of Tang San’s repeated defiance in class, the teachers were unwilling to attend, so Han Yu had to take over.
Upon entering the classroom, Han Yu immediately noticed Tang San.
“Tang San, stand up and go stand outside.”
From both a public and private perspective, there is nothing wrong with what he did.
“Director Han, what is the meaning of this?” Tang San stood up and asked, neither humble nor arrogant.
‘If you manage to show off in front of me, would I, Han, deserve to be the dean of students?’
“Xiao Wu, you go stand here too.
The academy doesn’t need students who don’t follow the rules.
In my eyes, you are troublemakers.
No matter how talented you are, if you don’t know the rules, you will be punished!”
Han Yu’s voice wasn’t loud, but it made the students in the classroom feel like they were sitting on pins and needles.
“Director Han, on what grounds?
Without any evidence, I will not accept your request.” Tang San sat down arrogantly, adopting an attitude of “I am the best in the world.”
Over the years, because of their strength, Tang San and Xiao Wu have been the big bosses in the entire Notting Academy, and no one dares to go against them.
If Tang San hadn’t encountered Dai Mubai, who was even stronger than him, in Soto City, he probably would still have maintained this arrogant attitude at Shrek Academy.
Han Yu sneered, “You need a reason, huh?
Tang San, Xiao Wu, you’ve been absent from class for a total of twenty-eight days this semester, and you’ve talked back to Teacher Li three times, Teacher Huang six times, and Teacher Mo seventeen times.
Although Teacher Mo is a nice guy and doesn’t want to pursue the matter, the other teachers don’t want you to ruin everyone’s learning atmosphere.
If you disobey the rules today, I have the right to expel you from the academy.”
“How dare you!” Xiao Wu stood up, put one foot on the table, and retorted loudly, “We were delayed because of the cultivation arranged by Xiao San’s master, and we asked for leave.”
P.S.: This is a new book by a new author.
Please forgive any shortcomings.
This article contains some personal interpretations; please refrain from criticism if you disagree.
The main character is in his early twenties!
(TL: early twenties and level 40… that’s not too bad tbh….
iirc dugu yan was around this level at a similar age)
