"Huh..."
Qin Ming was slightly stunned, feeling that something was off.
Dugu Bo, however, quickly caught on and laughed heartily, "Haha, right, right, with Young Master Ye's strength, there really isn't a teacher who can teach him. It's better for him to be a teacher."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo also realized and laughed.
Given his status, arranging a teacher position for Ye Feng was naturally no problem at all.
However, he hadn't known about Ye Feng's strength before, which was why he had assigned him a student position.
But now, Ye Feng had single-handedly defeated the Royal Fight Team, and his overall combat power definitely surpassed that of a Spirit King or even a Soul Emperor! It was just unclear what level he was at... but being a teacher was more than sufficient.
"Brother Ye... may I ask, what level Soul Master are you exactly?" Qin Ming turned to Ye Feng and couldn't help but ask.
Yu Tianheng and the others, who were pretending to be dead on the ground, also pricked up their ears upon hearing Qin Ming's question.
Clearly, they were also curious about Ye Feng's true strength.
If Ye Feng's Soul Power level was much higher than theirs, then their loss wasn't unjust.
But if Ye Feng was at the same level as them, then they had truly lost face this time.
"I just reached level 50. They didn't lose unjustly."
Ye Feng spoke indifferently, not lying, as he disdained doing so.
As for not releasing his Martial Soul and Soul Rings, on one hand, it was to test the power of his newly acquired "Icefire Dominator."
On the other hand, he felt that the four black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings behind him were too dazzling. If the others saw them, they would probably be scared out of their wits.
After all, the Royal Fight Team members were generally only at the level of Soul Grandmasters, with the strongest having only a Thousand Year Soul Ring. The combined age of all their Soul Rings didn't even come close to Ye Feng's...
If they saw Ye Feng's four Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, they probably wouldn't even have the courage to fight him.
"Gasp! Level 50, a quasi-Spirit King!!"
"This is too terrifying!"
"Is this even humanly possible???"
"No wonder he's so strong. We didn't lose unjustly..."
Yu Tianheng and the others, lying on the ground, all gasped in shock, their hearts filled with awe.
They had only reached the level of Soul Grandmasters at the age of nineteen or twenty, while Ye Feng, who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen, was already a quasi-Spirit King. It was simply outrageous!
Not only Yu Tianheng and the others, but Dugu Bo, Qin Ming, and the teachers and students of the Royal Fight Team's second team all looked at Ye Feng as if he were a monster.
Especially Qin Ming, who had thought that becoming a Soul Emperor at the age of thirty was something to be proud of, placing him in the "monster" category.
He never expected that Ye Feng was even more of a monster, not only with terrifying combat power but also such cultivation.
As soon as Ye Feng obtained another Soul Ring, he would be a true Spirit King!
And Ye Feng was only in his teens! A Spirit King in his teens had never appeared in the history of the Douluo Continent!
Even in Shrek, where he had once been, the youngest Spirit King was 21 years old...
"Young Master Ye, with such cultivation and strength, being a teacher at the academy is more than sufficient. Come, I'll now arrange a teacher position for you and also assign you a cultivation residence rich in Heaven and Earth Essence."
Seeing this, Dugu Bo quickly gestured for Ye Feng to follow.
"Alright, let's go."
Ye Feng nodded and followed Dugu Bo as they slowly walked away.
...
This scene left everyone present utterly stunned.
It was one thing for Dugu Bo to address the other party as "Young Master Ye," but his behavior was so humble, almost as if he were Ye Feng's servant. Was this really the ruthless Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo???
However, despite their confusion, no one dared to ask directly.
Dugu Yan watched the two figures recede into the distance, feeling an inexplicable ache in her heart.
On one hand, her mindset had been shattered by Ye Feng's explosive flames, and on the other, it was because her seemingly invincible grandfather had been so subservient in front of the other party. Her grandfather had even scolded her for this young man...
This was something she found hard to accept for the moment.
"Alright, everyone, get up..."
Qin Ming, seeing that the other party had left, turned to look at his students behind him and spoke somewhat helplessly.
"Teacher..."
"Teacher, I'm sorry, I've embarrassed you..."
"Teacher, we were careless, our tactics didn't come into play at all..."
Led by Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, the members of the Royal Fight Team all came before Qin Ming, each with their heads bowed, like children who had made a mistake, completely devoid of their usual arrogance and disdain.

This battle had been a huge blow to them. Although Ye Feng's cultivation level was higher than theirs...
But he hadn't even used his Martial Soul, and yet he had effortlessly crushed all seven of them...
It made them feel like all their years of training had been for nothing...
"Well, it's a great thing to recognize one's mistakes and correct them, and this failure isn't necessarily a bad thing for you."
"At the very least, it has shown you that there are always people beyond people and skies beyond skies. You have good talent, but there are definitely people in this world with even greater talent than yours."
Qin Ming wasn't angry at all; in fact, he felt somewhat gratified.
He had been in charge of the Royal Fight Team for several years now. The team was excellent in every way, except that they had never experienced defeat. No matter what opponent they faced, they always won easily, never tasting the bitterness of failure.
He had originally planned to take the Royal Fight Team to challenge Soul Battle Arenas in major cities across the country to see if there were any hidden experts who could defeat them.
Now, Ye Feng's appearance had directly fulfilled his plan, giving the Royal Fight Team a harsh lesson and suppressing their long-standing arrogance.
This was a tremendous help for the growth of the Royal Fight Team.
If one really thought about it, he should be thanking Ye Feng.
"Teacher, do you know why he is so strong? How can we become as strong as him?" Yu Tianheng suddenly looked up at Qin Ming, clenched his fists, his eyes filled with determination.
Yu Tianheng believed that his talent was second to none, and he lacked neither background nor resources. He wanted to be as strong as Ye Feng, no matter the cost! However, upon hearing this, Qin Ming gently shook his head and said, "I don't know..."
"But Ye Feng is already a monster among monsters. You are not on the same level as him. You will never surpass him in this lifetime. All you can do is keep working hard to narrow the gap between you and him."
Although these words were quite harsh, they were the truth.
With his exceptional talent, possession of the Ultimate Soul Spirit, and a background that even Dugu Bo had to curry favor with, any one of these aspects far surpassed Yu Tianheng.
What could Yu Tianheng possibly use to catch up? Even if given ten times the time, he might still be unable to close the gap.
"How... how is this possible... Has he truly become so powerful..." Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng was as if struck by lightning, his face filled with disbelief. His steps faltered, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
"This is the reality. However, Ye Feng will likely become an instructor at the academy. If you are not convinced, you can seek his guidance or challenge him. Then, you will understand the gap."
After saying this, Qin Ming turned and left.
He had said all he needed to say. If Yu Tianheng and the others could not step out of Ye Feng's shadow, it would likely affect their future cultivation...
Not just Yu Tianheng, even he himself felt a great sense of crisis at this moment.
He needed to hurry back and cultivate, lest his cultivation be surpassed by Ye Feng, leading to instability in his mental state...
