They were a group of seven, five men and two women. They looked like adults, but Soul Masters matured early; generally, thirteen or fourteen-year-olds looked no different from seventeen or eighteen-year-olds on Earth.
Walking at the very front in the center was an ordinary-looking black-haired young man, and beside him was a short-haired girl with purple hair and green eyes.
The short-haired girl with purple hair and green eyes was holding the arm of a girl with a waterfall of blue long hair, a slender figure, but a veil covering her face.
There was also an handsome blond young man, a pair of twin brothers, and a fair-skinned young man who could rival a woman in appearance.
Just from the appearance of the few people, it wasn't hard to guess that they should be the future Heaven Dou Royal Academy battle team. It was just unexpected that they formed a team so early.
Li Qing turned and walked into the dining hall.
He didn't just shamelessly rush up, because that would be too abrupt and would have the opposite effect. Knowing they were still in this academy was enough.
And if nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to meet them tomorrow.
After dinner, not long after Li Qing returned to his dorm, there was a knock on the door. Li Qing opened the door and saw an ordinary-looking young man of twenty-seven or twenty-eight standing outside.
"Who are you?"
The young man said, "My name is Qin Ming. I am the homeroom teacher for Class 1, Grade 7, which means I am your homeroom teacher. I came specifically to understand your situation."
Li Qing suddenly understood. So it was him.
He just didn't expect that Qin Ming was still just a teacher at Heaven Dou Noble Academy at this time. It seemed he should have been promoted to Heaven Dou Royal Academy along with Dugu Yan and the others.
"Qin Teacher, please come in."
As the saying went, Li Qing never easily judged a person's good or evil. Since he was now his homeroom teacher, Li Qing should give him enough respect.
Future matters could be discussed later. Having a plan in mind was sufficient.
Qin Ming nodded, walked into the room, and then sat down on the sofa. Li Qing also sat down on the small sofa next to him, quietly waiting for him to continue.
Qin Ming said, "I heard the dean say that your Martial Soul changed from an ordinary Crow to a Raven?"
Li Qing nodded, "Yes, all the characteristics of the Raven were also born with the Martial Soul mutation, and the first Soul Skill is also Underworld Fire, but it cannot achieve Underworld Fire possession."
Hearing this, a glint flashed in Qin Ming's eyes, and he quickly asked, "Have you tested the power of the Underworld Fire?"
Li Qing shook his head and said, "Due to the characteristics of the Underworld Fire, it cannot be tested. However, a Soul Supreme level assassin once died under the Underworld Fire. The upper limit is unclear."
He wanted to get in touch with Dugu Yan, and the best way was to join her small group, so he had to show enough potential.
That dead assassin was a demonstration of his value. Not everyone could counter-kill a Soul Supreme at the Soul Master realm; at least Yu Tianheng and the others couldn't.
Qin Ming widened his eyes and said, "You killed a Soul Supreme?"
Li Qing nodded and said, "There was a teacher at my previous academy who had a problem in his head. He didn't know my Martial Soul had mutated and thought I had some secret that could improve talent."
"He wanted to force me to hand over the secret, but I beat him up, and then he hired an assassin."
"After counter-killing that assassin, I learned that the idiot had an extraordinary background. To avoid such things happening again, I transferred here."
Li Qing was giving Qin Ming a heads-up.
If Qin Ming knew there was an enemy of his student in the Shrek Academy team and still insisted on helping them in the future, then he shouldn't blame his student for not respecting him.
After getting the answer he wanted, Qin Ming nodded in satisfaction.
As for Li Qing's enemy... Qin Ming didn't ask further.
The other person had already said the background was extraordinary. He naturally wouldn't court disaster. After all, he was just a teacher in the end; outside of school, he was nothing.
"Alright."
Qin Ming nodded, "Our class has an elite battle team. The people in it have good talent. Some have already obtained the qualification for promotion, and those who haven't will get it this year."
"Although your level fourteen is a bit low, your talent is there, so practice with the elite battle team."
"When they are promoted at the end of the year, I will find a way for you and strive to bring you to Heaven Dou Royal Academy early, but you also need to work hard yourself."
Yu Tianheng and the other four could have been promoted long ago, so why didn't they?
Because Qin Ming also received an appointment letter from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he wanted to take the entire elite battle team with him for promotion. Only then would he have the chance to continue leading this team.
Only then would he have the chance to take them to participate in the Soul Master Tournament.
Now that a genius like Li Qing had appeared, he naturally wouldn't let him go.
"Thank you, Qin Teacher."
Li Qing stood up and bowed, expressing his sincere thanks, with a hint of deliberately shown excitement on his face.
Qin Ming nodded in satisfaction, stood up and said, "I will find a way for the Soul Skill test. Get some rest early and get up early tomorrow to eat."
"Okay."
Li Qing agreed and saw Qin Ming out of the room.
Looking at his gradually receding back, a faint smile spread across Li Qing's face. Things were developing even more smoothly than he had expected. It was as if he could already see immortal herbs beckoning to him.
...
The next day, early morning.
Li Qing got up early and ate at the dining hall, then returned to the dorm to wait. The teacher who brought him to the dorm yesterday arrived not long after, and then took him to the teaching building.
Heaven Dou Noble Academy had two teaching buildings, corresponding to junior and intermediate students respectively.
That teacher took Li Qing into the red teaching building, arriving outside a classroom in a corner on the first floor, where Qin Ming, whom he had met last night, was waiting at the door.
"Li Qing, this is Qin Ming, the homeroom teacher for Class 1, Grade 7, which is also your future homeroom teacher. He is a Level 51 Battle Soul King."
That teacher didn't know Li Qing and Qin Ming had already met, so he made a simple introduction.
Li Qing felt slightly surprised.
He didn't expect Qin Ming to already be Level 51 at this time. In other words, in the next seven years, his soul power level only increased by nine levels.
Qin Ming smiled and said, "We already met last night. Just leave him to me."
"Alright!"
That teacher suddenly understood but didn't feel surprised, because if such a genius had come to their class, he would definitely go to meet him overnight as well.
"Let's go. I'll take you in to meet your classmates."
After that teacher left, Qin Ming smiled slightly, and then led Li Qing into the classroom. Everyone in the classroom's gaze fell on Li Qing.
There weren't many students in Class 1, Grade 7, only about twenty or so.
One should know that this wasn't Notting Academy. Li Qing saw in the handbook yesterday that this academy had hundreds of people in one grade, but there were less than thirty thirteen-year-old Soul Masters.
"Is he the genius Qin Teacher mentioned who cultivated to Level 14 at only seven years old?"
"He doesn't look very old."
"To reach Level 14 at seven years old, even if it's not innate full soul power, it's probably eight or nine levels."
...
When Li Qing appeared, everyone started whispering and discussing among themselves, with expressions of amazement and envy.
