The girl was truly youthful; the immaturity in her brows and eyes wasn't something an old cucumber could fake with green paint.

She was young and beautiful, looking like the most exquisite doll in a display case, appearing very well-behaved at first glance.

But the moment she lifted her long, raven-like eyelashes, a cold, detached aura instantly spread, making all the students who met her gaze feel a sense of oppressive suffocation.

Their heartstrings tightened instantly.

It was like facing a formidable enemy.

“Who is this?”

“So cool! So imposing!” 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

“Speaking of which, don’t you think her face looks a bit familiar? I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before?”

“It does a bit.”

“...Luo Luo, don’t you think... she looks a lot like the person we just mentioned?”

Shu Yu tugged hard on her friend's sleeve.

At this moment, Luo Luo was staring intently at the girl, as if possessed.

Shu Yu: “...”

“Silence!”

Hearing the increasingly loud noise in the classroom, Wu Linyue immediately spoke to quell it, then turned to look at the girl, his expression changing instantly as he grinned at her with his large mouth, capable of eating a few children, smiling like a big fool.

“Ming Teacher, Vice Dean Yuan has already instructed that this will be your exclusive combat class classroom from now on. All your classes will be held here.”

“Of course, if you’re not satisfied, you can change it anytime. The university can even build a brand new combat classroom according to your requirements.”

Mingxi quickly waved her hand, “No need for such trouble, this place is quite good.”

As one of Wanling University's best Beast Taming combat classrooms, it was not only spacious but also had walls, floors, and ceilings made of the finest materials.

It was strike-resistant, highly defensive, and possessed extremely strong self-repair capabilities.

In terms of certain functionalities, it was comparable to an SSS-Class defensive item.

While it might not withstand the strongest attacks from Golden Yuanbao and a few others, teaching a group of university students didn't require Golden Yuanbao and the others to use their ultimate moves.

So there was no need to make a big fuss.

At worst, wasn't there still the outdoor combat arena?

“As long as you’re satisfied.”

He then pointed to the students in the classroom, “These are the students from Class 2 of the third year that I teach. There are 36 in total, 17 are C-Class, 16 are D-Class, and 3 are B-Class, one of whom has already undergone six awakenings.”

Mingxi nodded.

Third-year students are generally around 21 or 22 years old. For a class to have nearly half of its students awakened four times, and even a genius with six awakenings, Wanling Beast University truly lives up to its reputation as the league's top Beast Taming University. Its overall quality is indeed much stronger than Xianzong University.

“Not bad.”

Mingxi's gaze swept over the young, vibrant faces. Some had clearly recognized her, either with wide-open mouths or stars in their eyes.

She smiled at them and introduced herself, “Hello everyone, I am Mingxi, your teacher for today’s class.”

“Whoa!”

Her self-introduction instantly caused an uproar.

While the name Mingxi was far from a household name, among young people, she was definitely the brightest star.

“Mingxi?! Is it the Mingxi I know?”

“Holy crap! I knew I felt her face looked a bit familiar, like I’d seen it somewhere! So she’s Mingxi! My heavens, Mingxi is our combat class teacher?!”

In fact, there weren't many full-face photos of Mingxi exposed to the public. Initially, Chu Kuangsheng's people had meticulously scrubbed the internet, and later, when she participated in the Blue Sun Cup, she wore a mask for most of the time.

After she faked her death and left Blue Star, the Grand Elder had people scrub the internet again.

So, very few photos of her circulated online.

Coupled with her departure to Green Field Star for over half a year and the various changes during her growth period.

It was perfectly normal for people who hadn't met her not to recognize her.

“I remember she’s only 16 this year, right? A 16-year-old university teacher? That’s too insane!”

“I just want to know what level she is now?”

“Did you hear what Old Wu said just now? This Classroom 1 will be her exclusive one from now on, and if she’s not satisfied, they’re even preparing to build a new one for her. This treatment, even special-grade teachers probably don’t get, right?”

“So what’s her strength exactly? S-Class? She couldn’t possibly be SS-Class already, could she?”

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! An SS-Class Beast Master’s pet must have challenged the Limit Tower seven times and must have the strength to defeat a Saint-level! Who do you think can cultivate a pet to Saint-level in two years? Unless she’s cheating, and the cheat has never been turned off!”

“Then what’s with Teacher Wu’s fawning attitude?”

“What’s the big deal? Even if Mingxi isn’t an SS-Class Beast Master yet, she’s still recognized as the number one genius in the entire alliance! A powerhouse expected to break through to SSS-Class before turning a hundred, it’s only normal for Old Wu to be respectful to her. There are plenty of people willing to treat her like an ancestor.”

“Compared to her, Zhang Wenyong... tsk tsk...”

“He’s nothing.”

Zhang Wenyong naturally heard the discussions among his classmates. He was indeed arrogant, and he believed he had the capital to be so.

Six awakenings before the age of 30, who could say his talent was inferior to those favored by heaven?

But he wasn't so arrogant as to think himself invincible.

Much less to be compared to a monster who had already gained worldwide recognition at 15.

However, Mingxi was indeed a super genius whose talent was unmatched in this era. He was nothing at her age, but whether she was qualified to be their teacher now was another matter entirely!

“Ming Teacher, right? I am Zhang Wenyong from Class 2. Since you are our class’s new combat class teacher, I wonder what your strength is like?

Although Teacher Wu is only an A-level Beastmaster, he can at least fight with our entire class for two hours without rest.

What about you?”

Mingxi looked at the young man, her clear black eyes devoid of any emotion.

Wu Linyue, however, frowned, and like a chief eunuch by the emperor's side, he leaned close behind Mingxi, explaining in a low voice, “This Zhang Wenyong is that student with ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ six awakenings. His strength is decent.”

So that’s it, no wonder he acted like “I’m the King of Heaven.”

His words were quite disrespectful to Teacher Wu.

His entire “Dragon King” aura was very conspicuous.

“You seem to have misunderstood. I am not your class’s new combat class teacher. Teacher Wu is more than capable of teaching you, and there’s no need for the university to replace him.”

Zhang Wenyong was stunned for a moment.

“Then you are?”

Wu Linyue grinned broadly and explained on Mingxi’s behalf: “Ming Teacher is a specially appointed teacher at the university and only comes to teach a few classes occasionally.

Our class is the luckiest to have her first class in her life. This is a great blessing for all of you, so you must cherish it.”

“...Who was it just now who said the university valued Zhang Wenyong so much that they replaced Old Wu? Those people really are self-important, aren’t they? Now they’ve lost face big time, haven’t they?”

The students below started murmuring again.
