The top-floor conference room of the Education Committee at Tian Dou Academy.
All three members of the Education Committee were gathered here, but their expressions were far from pleasant at the moment.
"Senior Dugu, isn't it a bit inappropriate to make a child a Tian Dou Level Teacher...?" Meng Shenji, the head of the committee, spoke with a furrowed brow.
"Indeed, although the other party possesses the strength of a level 50, they are still a child. Giving them the qualification of a Tian Wei Level Teacher is already somewhat excessive, let alone a Tian Dou Level Teacher."
"The teaching at the academy concerns the future of the students. Senior Dugu, isn't this a bit inappropriate..." The other two committee members also voiced their concerns, clearly resistant to the idea of making Ye Feng a Tian Dou Level Teacher.
In truth, Ye Feng had not requested to become a Tian Dou Level Teacher; this was a status Dugu Bo wanted to secure for him in an attempt to curry favor.
The teachers at Tian Dou Academy are divided into Tian Wei Level, Tian Zhi Level, and Tian Dou Level.
Promotion to Tian Wei Level and Tian Zhi Level does not require the approval of the Education Committee, but a Tian Dou Level Teacher represents the face of the entire academy. Each promotion to Tian Dou Level not only requires the necessary strength but also the unanimous approval of the three committee members.
With Ye Feng's level 50 cultivation, he could only be a Tian Wei Level Teacher.
Naturally, the three committee members would not agree to make Ye Feng a Tian Dou Level Teacher.
If one were to consider it, the three committee members themselves are only Tian Dou Level Teachers. Now, to have a mere child on equal footing with them—who could tolerate that?
"Hmph! I'm here to inform you, not to discuss with you!"
Dugu Bo let out a cold snort, and a terrifying aura spread out.
Given Ye Feng's status, being a mere Tian Wei Level Teacher would be too demeaning. Therefore, today he would do everything in his power to secure a Tian Dou Level Teacher qualification for Ye Feng.
"Your Excellency Poison Douluo, you are merely a guest of Prince Xue Xing. It's one thing for you to privately appoint an outsider as a teacher at our academy, but to want to appoint them as a Tian Dou Level Teacher—does Prince Xue Xing know about this?"
Meng Shenji angrily questioned.
They had not interacted much with Dugu Bo, but they had never imagined he could be so tyrannical.
"Haha, what if he knows? What if he doesn't? Since you're not convinced, I'll just beat you until you are!"
Dugu Bo laughed heartily, and the terrifying aura of a Titled Douluo erupted. He directly summoned his Martial Soul Avatar, transforming into a massive Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, its forked tongue flicking menacingly toward Meng Shenji and the other two.
Ever since Zi Ji had pinned him to the ground and pummeled him, Dugu Bo had come to a profound realization!
In this world, strength is the ultimate truth!
He was a Titled Douluo, facing a group of mediocre Soul Douluos. Why should he need to hold back? Why should he need their approval?
Just act directly! Who could do anything about it? "Very well, since Senior Dugu is so insistent, let us three old men experience the strength of Senior Poison Douluo!"
As Meng Shenji spoke, his figure suddenly became illusory, and dense black mist rose from beneath his feet. Two yellow, three purple, and three black Soul Rings appeared in sequence, circling around him.
Dugu Bo's fifth Soul Ring was already at the ten-thousand-year level, while Meng Shenji's fifth Soul Ring remained at the thousand-year level, clearly exposing the vast difference in their cultivation.
At the same time, Bai Baoshan, the Soul Douluo of the Celestial Star Furnace, manifested a golden, radiant cauldron in his palm. The cauldron was adorned with seven silver stars, their light shimmering and dazzling.
On the other side, Zhi Lin, the Soul Douluo of the Celestial Azure Vine, revealed only a single vine. However, the vine was as translucent as jade, and a faint azure aura emanated from his body, enveloping him completely, giving off an unfathomable presence.
"Haha, good, good! It's been a long time since I've stretched my limbs. Let's see what you've got!" Dugu Bo laughed heartily, taking the lead as he soared into the sky.
Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin quickly followed.
In an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and green and black mists intertwined, making it difficult to see the battle unfolding within.
Although the terrifying battle did not reach the ground, it still shook the entire Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. Such a fearsome fight was something ordinary Soul Masters might never witness in their lifetime. At this moment, everyone rushed out of the teaching buildings, curiously gazing at the sky, eager to know which powerful figures were engaged in this battle...
By the Bright Jade Lake within the academy, Ye Feng, who had been sitting by the lakeside enjoying the scenery, suddenly noticed the distant battle and was momentarily stunned. "Good heavens, isn't that Dugu Bo? Who's he fighting? Could it be the three Education Committee members?"
Ye Feng stared at the battle in the sky, as if something had occurred to him...
Before Dugu Bo left, he had mentioned arranging a Heavenly Dou-level teaching position for Ye Feng. Although Ye Feng didn't particularly care, Dugu Bo's enthusiasm made it hard for him to refuse.
"Could it be that Dugu Bo is fighting the three Education Committee members over a Heavenly Dou-level teaching position?" Ye Feng's face was filled with astonishment. The battle seemed utterly inexplicable.
...
Meanwhile, in the sky.
The three Education Committee members now had faces that were alternately green and purple, their bodies riddled with injuries from the poison, looking quite disheveled.
"Hahaha! How do you like the taste of my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison, Committee members?" Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, laughing heartily.
Previously, he had been humiliated by Zi Ji, and the frustration still lingered in his mind. Now, venting his anger on these three unlucky old men made him feel much better.
"Dugu Bo, you're so cunning! You've quietly advanced to level 92!" Meng Shenji gritted his teeth.
If Dugu Bo had still been at the initial level 91, the three of them might have been able to hold their own. But now that Dugu Bo had reached level 92, his combat power had increased exponentially, leaving the three of them completely helpless!
"Hmph, when I advance in level, do I need to report it to you three old men? Even the one sitting on the dragon throne has no right to question my cultivation!" Dugu Bo's emerald vertical pupils stared coldly at Meng Shenji and the others. "I'll give you one last chance. Either agree to my terms, or I'll beat the three of you in front of hundreds of students and teachers!"
As Dugu Bo spoke, the terrifying poison mist around him grew even denser.
If he had still been at level 91, and had to divert some of his Soul Power to suppress the poison's backlash, he might have only been able to fight these three old men to a draw.
But now, he had resolved the issue of the poison backlash. Not only had he reached level 92, but it seemed his understanding of poison had also deepened, causing his overall combat power to explode several times over! These three old men on the verge of death—what right did they have to fight him?
Moreover, even if he severely injured these three, the royal family wouldn't say a word.
After all, the Tian Dou royal family didn't even have a single Titled Douluo. The strongest they had were these three old men.
They only managed to hold their ground by relying on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
With his strength and terrifying poison, even if those two from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School came, they wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
After all, everyone knew that if he were pushed to the brink, he could self-destruct, and the terrifying poison would be enough to annihilate dozens of cities.
Damn it, they'd all be buried with him!
"Sigh… Senior Poison, we admit defeat this time… We agree to your demands…"
Seeing this, Meng Shenji let out a deep sigh, looking as if he had aged over a decade in an instant.
The other two also felt a bitter taste in their hearts.
In the end, their skills were no match for his.
Although making Ye Feng a Tian Dou Level Teacher went against the rules.
It was still better than being pounded into the ground by Dugu Bo.
Because they knew that with Dugu Bo's madman personality, he was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
