Douluo: Unparalleled General, Starting by Deceptive Thousand-Snow-Peak 44

Chapter 44: The Future Imperial Dou Team; His Name is Xun Yu

Five students ignored the rest of the class, taking their seats with an air of extraordinary arrogance.

Of course, they had the capital for such arrogance. Their aptitudes were among the best in the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Especially Yu Tianheng, Du Gu Yan, and Ye Lingling.

The first two were descendants of Title Douluo. It was said that Yu Tianheng had already reached the Soul Sage level. He could have transferred to the Heavenly Dou class, but he chose to remain in the Tian Zhi class to stay with his teammates.

Ye Lingling possessed the unique Nine-Heart Sea Lantern martial soul, a support martial soul comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could be considered the top amplification martial soul, then the Nine-Heart Sea Lantern was undoubtedly the top healing martial soul.

Whether amplification or healing was more important was always a matter of opinion. Nan Feihuang believed neither was superior; different situations required different types of support.

The five didn’t notice Nan Feihuang. They barely knew their classmates, only interacting within their small group, and thus didn’t realize Nan Feihuang and Xun Yu were new students.

Soon, as class time arrived, a man with handsome features entered, carrying a book.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy offered theoretical courses, primarily covering topics such as the development directions of various martial souls, the types of soul rings to absorb, and how to identify the characteristics and age of soul beasts.

“Everyone, settle down,” the man said, then looked at the two students by the window. “You two are the exchange students from Ancient Thunder King Country, right? Hello, I’m your homeroom teacher, Qin Ming. Please introduce yourselves.”

“Yes, Teacher Qin,” Nan Feihuang stood up, walking towards Qin Ming. He was one of the few people at Shrek Academy he somewhat respected.

Many considered him an ungrateful person because he left the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy for Flanders.

But for Nan Feihuang, this was precisely why he respected Qin Ming. He hadn’t actually joined the Heavenly Dou Empire’s forces; he simply taught at the academy, like a job. His incredible talent earned him treatment second only to the three academy commissioners.

But no matter how good the treatment, it was still a job. Was he not allowed to quit?

And he didn’t leave because another academy poached him. His departure stemmed from Prince Xue Xing, the academy’s top administrator, insulting his alma mater and telling Flanders, his mentor-like figure, to “get lost.” That single word, “get lost,” was unacceptable to anyone who respected their teachers.

If anyone dared to use that word towards Nan Tianchen or Queen Lan Xue, Nan Feihuang might temporarily endure it due to his current weakness. But once he grew stronger, he would make that person tenfold act out the meaning of “get lost.”

His alma mater and mentor had been insulted. If Qin Ming had still stayed for the benefits of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Nan Feihuang would have despised him.

The only people he felt somewhat sorry for were the three commissioners who had always been kind to him.

Besides, he left alone, without taking any talented Soul Masters or valuable assets, causing no loss to the academy.

Furthermore, Qin Ming’s death, protecting his students by single-handedly confronting a Title Douluo, deeply moved Nan Feihuang.

Therefore, Nan Feihuang had a slight positive impression of him.

Unfortunately, they were destined not to be on the same path. Whether Nan Feihuang would become enemies with Shrek and Tang San was uncertain, but Nan Feihuang didn’t want to be friends with Tang San. Even if they were friends, Nan Feihuang would only use a false persona to deceive Tang San, never truly bonding with him.

So, at this moment, he showed the appropriate politeness to Qin Ming, due to his teacher’s status, without going too deep into their relationship.

“Teacher Qin, fellow classmates, hello. My name is Nan Feihuang, a level-28 close-combat Battle Soul Master. This is Xun Yu, a level-27 Battle Soul Master. His martial soul is rather unique, so its type is difficult to classify,” Nan Feihuang said.

“Level 28, level 27!” The audience was astonished. Two such young men had reached such high levels.

Being in Tian Zhi class meant they must be at least level 25, everyone knew that.

But they expected these two to be at the very beginning of level 25, terrifying but somewhat acceptable. They were in Class 1 instead of Class 3 probably because of their background.

Unexpectedly, the two were genuinely this strong. Their talent far surpassed Yu Tianheng at the same age. He was barely over level 20 around the age of ten.

Yu Tianheng looked at Nan Feihuang and Xun Yu in surprise. These two were the culprits who caused two of their team’s defensive Soul Masters to leave.

“Um, I have a question,” said Os Luo, a flamboyant black-haired man, raising his hand. “Why did you use a drawn-out tone when introducing your friend’s name?”

Nan Feihuang smiled slightly. “Try calling his name without the drawn-out tone, and you’ll find out.”

“What’s the big deal? It’s just a name, Xun Yu!” Os Luo shouted, then realized something was wrong. He tried several times. “Huh, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Xun Yu…?”

“Os Luo, what are you doing? You can’t even pronounce a name correctly. It’s just Xun Yu, right?” Yu Feng looked at Os Luo with a scornful gaze, about to scold him, but then realized he seemed to have the same problem.

One person mispronouncing is a minor brain problem; two people mispronouncing means the name itself is problematic.

Many students tried to pronounce it.

“Xun Yu…?”

“Xun Yu, Xun Yu… What’s going on? I clearly wanted to say Xun Yu, but why did it come out as Xun Yu?”

“This name must be cursed!”

Xun Yu looked at the crowd speechlessly. Were these people polite? If they couldn’t pronounce the name, they shouldn’t try at all. This many people calling him “Xun Yu,” did they have no shame?

He was about to yell at them when a clear voice rang out, “Xun Yu!”

This voice immediately interrupted Xun Yu, shocking even Nan Feihuang, who turned to look.

Did he just mishear? It seemed someone really pronounced “Xun Yu” correctly.

Even Xun Yu’s lord, and Queen Lan Xue, a Title Douluo, couldn’t do that.

All eyes turned to a girl in white clothes. Xun Yu stammered excitedly, “Th-that, classmate, could you try saying it again?”

Ye Lingling looked at the gazes directed at her, then at Xun Yu. “What’s wrong? Did I say it wrong? Isn’t your name Xun Yu?”
