The scenery shifted from blurry to clear in about two seconds.

Zhang Yuanqing found himself in a lobby that wasn't spacious, but still considered small. Directly in front was a podium, with an aisle covered in a red carpet in the middle, and wooden benches on both sides.

The layout was somewhat similar to a church, except that behind the podium, there was no Jesus tied to the cross.

Standing on the podium was an elderly man with graying hair, with a row of teachers behind him.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing was standing in the first row on the left.

To his left and right were Yin Yao Junzhu and Xue Qiangwei. "Oh, hell." A familiar voice came from behind. "Yuanshi Tianzun, are you also attending this year's Advanced Studies Class?"

"Oh, hell, Yuanshi Tianzun, you're here too." A crisp, pleasant girlish voice came from his left.

Zhang Yuanqing looked around. Separated from him by Yin Yao Junzhu was Sun Miaomiao, and separated from him by Xue Qiangwei was Zhao Chenghuang. Turning his head to look behind him, he saw Yuan Ting, whom he hadn't seen in over a month.

"Oh, hell, all three of you are here." Zhang Yuanqing preemptively accused, "Wherever you guys are, something's always bound to happen." Yuan Ting and Sun Miaomiao: "..." The cool Zhao Chenghuang nodded slightly: "Long time no see."

Zhang Yuanqing said "Mm" once, then turned his head and glanced at the students behind him.

The benches in front were filled with students from the Advanced Studies Class, twenty-two in total. He saw a few familiar faces among them: Tianxia Guihuo, Yuan Ting, Guo Hezu, Hongjige, Xiahou Aotian, Niulanshan Xiaoxiannv, Mudan Xianzi. Great, almost half of them are acquaintances. How did someone like Hongjige, who's not an official member, even get in here? Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself. "Yo, Yuanshi Tianzun, you're here too." Hongjige waved enthusiastically, his loud voice booming. Upon hearing the words "Yuanshi Tianzun," almost everyone, including the male and female teachers on the podium, looked over in unison. Amidst the gazes, Zhang Yuanqing keenly sensed a hint of hostility in some of them. One was a handsome youth with slicked-back hair and a face full of makeup, clad in exquisite luxury goods, wearing three red strings on his wrist, a silver earring, and a fashionable hairstyle. He looked like a trendy idol trainee. The other was refined and scholarly, wearing black-rimmed glasses and with single eyelids. At first glance, he exuded a scholarly air, but upon closer inspection, one would notice the gloomy and sharp look in his eyes. Not recognizing them, Zhang Yuanqing subtly withdrew his gaze and nodded towards the smiling Niulanshan Xiaoxiannv and Mudan Xianzi. He also glanced at Tianxia Guihuo, Guo Hezu, and Xiahou Aotian, making eye contact to acknowledge them. "Ahem."

On the podium, the elderly man with graying hair cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Everyone, I am Li Yanqi, the Dean of Qinfeng Academy, and also your History and Politics teacher. I am very happy to gather with you all at Qinfeng Academy. Now, let's call out the names to verify the number of people and IDs."

"Students whose names are called, please respond with 'Here.'" After a pause, he first looked at Zhang Yuanqing and said:

"Yuanshi Tianzun." "Here." "Zhao Chenghuang." "Here." "Sun Miaomiao." "Sanyang Kaitaitai." "Xia Chaoxue."

After a round of roll call, confirming that the members present matched the list he had, Dean Li Yanqi continued:

"Next, let's have our teachers introduce themselves."

He turned his head and looked at the first teacher on the left.

This was a sexy woman wearing denim shorts and an off-the-shoulder T-shirt, with round and slender legs, and a curvy figure. She had trendy goddess curls and a pointy chin with fair and tender skin. Her eyes were like a deer's, watery and charming, full of autumn waves.

"Hello everyone, my name is Song Man, a teacher at the Academy's medical room." She waved enthusiastically in a ladylike manner, smiling and saying: "If you get injured or feel unwell, please come to the medical room to find me."

As she spoke, she boldly gave the students a flirty wink.

Quite a few male students were captivated by this sexy beauty, secretly filled with fantasies.

Tch, she's a Beastmaster of the propagation type. Niulanshan Xiaoxiannv saw through Song Man's attributes at a glance and curled her lips.

Xiahou Aotian frowned slightly, feeling that this charming and sexy teacher was too seductive and not suitable to be a member of the protagonist's harem.

Zhang Yuanqing noticed that Song Man's gaze lingered on him the longest, but he didn't care. What he was thinking about was those two students who harbored hostility towards him.

He already knew their Spirit Realm IDs: Zhu Mingxu and Zhao Feiwen. People from the Zhu and Zhao families.

That wasn't surprising. Zhu Rong of the Zhu family was imprisoned because of him, and her face was torn apart by the Palace Master of the Zhisha Palace. The grudges were huge.

Zhao Feichen, father and son of the Zhao family, were severely injured by him. It was an even deeper hatred.

It was normal for these two to be hostile towards him. "Teacher Song Man, I have a question." Hongjige, who was of unremarkable height, raised his hand high.

Song Man's eyes flowed with charm, smiling enchantingly and saying: "What would this student like to ask?"

Hongjige said loudly: "I heard that the teachers in Qinfeng Academy are all teaching here because they made mistakes and were demoted. Teacher Song Man, you're so beautiful, what mistake did you make?" The scene suddenly fell silent.

The teachers on the podium all showed awkward expressions to varying degrees.

The surrounding students stared at Hongjige in disbelief, as if saying: Are you crazy? Can you ask that?

Song Man's face stiffened, and she probed: "Are you a Fire Master?"

"Eh? How did you know?" Hongjige was stunned. No wonder. A crude Fire Master, Song Man cursed inwardly.

At this time, Yuan Ting, who was standing behind Yuanshi Tianzun, raised his hand. "That, Teacher, if you don't mind, I would also like to know..."

The teachers all looked over, and Song Man frowned: "You're also a Fire Master?"

"I'm a Star Official, I'm just curious..."

Song Man forced a smile and returned to her position. There are quite a few troublemakers in this batch of students, the teachers thought.

The middle-aged man next to Song Man stepped forward. He had a mysterious and bewitching aura, nodding to everyone:

"My name is Xingkong Guancezhe. I am the teacher responsible for teaching you Astrology and Yin-Yang Arts. If there are any Star Officials among the students, you can purchase private lessons from me. I will teach you the combat techniques of Star Officials and Night Wanderers, as well as derivative knowledge that the character card does not provide."

As he said this, he looked directly at the first and second rows on the left.

"Mo Pan, teacher of the Weapon Refinement class."

Teacher Mo Pan had a gentle expression, and his self-introduction was brief. At first glance, he seemed like a taciturn and mild-tempered type.

"Lin Su, teacher of the Alchemy class. I mainly teach you some pharmacological knowledge, as well as some simple alchemy techniques, so that you can refine some simple hemostatic, detoxification, and poison-repelling pills through your own abilities. Of course, I can also teach you how to refine poison pills. This is part of the private lesson content. Students who are interested can find me privately." This was a young woman wearing a white knee-length skirt and black long sleeves.

"I am Luo Lesheng, your Combat class teacher. Haha, don't worry, although I am a Fire Demon, I have a very good personality. I won't lose my temper randomly, and I won't hit people."

The students: "..."

After the teachers finished introducing themselves, Dean Li Yanqi said:

"There are also several teachers among the students who are responsible for guarding dangerous areas. Due to work reasons, they were unable to attend. I will introduce them to everyone later when I lead you on a tour of the Academy."

"Now, I will appoint the class monitor for this Advanced Studies Class. If everyone has no objections, then Yuanshi Tianzun will take the position..."

I'm going to be the class monitor? I'm here on vacation, not to work, Zhang Yuanqing instinctively resisted. He was about to refuse when he heard a loud voice say:

"I object."

The teachers and students present followed the sound and saw that the speaker had handsome features and an extraordinary temperament, with an arrogance between his eyebrows that seemed to "try to compete with the heavens." He said:

"I believe that Yuanshi Tianzun's qualifications, experience, and level are not enough to be the class monitor. The position of class monitor must be held by someone with both virtue and talent, a person of destiny."

Dean Li Yanqi was stunned for several seconds, probably because he didn't expect anyone to object. The Qinfeng Academy Advanced Studies Class focused on socialization, with learning being secondary.

Each session's students were polite, trying to socialize and expand their networks.

Such a strong and confrontational approach was rare. He remembered that during the roll call just now, his name seemed to be Xiahou Aotian. A member of the Xiahou family. No wonder he was targeting Yuanshi Tianzun. The official Saints had heard of the grudges between the two sides to varying degrees.

Not bad, not bad. The family style of the Xiahou family is still very tough. It's good to have this guy take the lead, Zhu Mingxu and Zhao Feiwen exchanged glances and smiled.

This guy's brain is acting up again, Hongjige muttered inwardly.

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun didn't respond, the Dean had no choice but to ask amiably:

"Then, who does student Xiahou Aotian think is more qualified to be the class monitor?"

As if waiting for this sentence, Xiahou Aotian raised his arrogant head and looked around at everyone with his nostrils, saying loudly:

"Among the people present, besides me, Xiahou Aotian, the protagonist of destiny, who else can be the class monitor?"

The hall fell silent again, and everyone stared at Xiahou Aotian with a strange look.

So arrogant?

There are quite a few troublemakers in this batch of students, the teachers thought again.

Zhang Yuanqing said loudly: "Dean, I think Xiahou Aotian has both talent and virtue and is qualified to be the class monitor."

Dean Li Yanqi pondered for a moment and said:

"Alright, then it's decided. Xiahou Aotian will be the class monitor for this Advanced Studies Class. Does everyone have any objections?"

Yuanshi Tianzun had already taken the initiative to step down, so naturally no one else had any objections.

The so-called class monitor was originally an insignificant title, with even less power than a middle school class monitor.

At least a middle school class monitor could report on others to the teacher.

Next, Song Man, the teacher from the medical room, distributed a map of Qinfeng Academy to each student, her voice soft and charming:

"The class schedule will be distributed to you later. There are no classes today. I will take you on a tour of Qinfeng Academy. Everyone, gather outside."

The other teachers followed the Dean and left through the side door.

Everyone retreated in an orderly manner while looking at the map.

The Qinfeng Academy instance covers a total area of 7 square kilometers, 70 percent of which is covered by lakes. The Academy occupies only 0.5 square kilometers and is the largest island in the instance.

The layout of the entire island is clear at a glance. The hall where everyone is located is also called the Linlang Library and is located in the center of the Academy.

Surrounding the library are a cafeteria, a teahouse, a coffee shop, and a screening room. These buildings are surrounded by parks and flower gardens. The male and female dormitories are on the east and west sides of the island.

The teachers' dormitory is located in the area behind the library. The "Alchemy Room" and the "Weapon Refinement Room" are built by the lake on the edge of the island.

In addition, there are many small islands on the vast Jiaoren Lake. According to the map markings, they are Chicken Heart Island, Lingzhi Island, Hundred Beast Island, and Lava Island.

Song Man led the way in front with a charming figure, leading the students to visit the Academy buildings and introducing them:

"In Qinfeng Academy, regular meals are free, but everything else is charged. There's a cake shop here, a teahouse, a massage parlor, a coffee shop..."

"The employees in these shops are all clerical staff. Please be polite to them and don't make things difficult for them."

Then, they went to the Academy dormitory.

The male dormitory was a three-story building. Each room was a two-bedroom, one-living room, fully furnished, ready to move in.

"The daily necessities in the rooms are all free. The Academy has prepared three sets of school uniforms for everyone, which should be enough for you to change for seven days. If you accidentally damage the school uniform, you will need to pay compensation. One set of school uniforms costs 20,000."

As soon as Song Man finished speaking, Hongjige was furious: "Those school uniforms are simply made of simple materials. No one wants them for 200 yuan at a street stall. You're charging 20,000? Isn't that too black?"

Song Man ignored him, leading everyone out of the male dormitory and heading to the dock on the edge of the island. A white yacht was parked at the dock.

A middle-aged uncle with a gloomy expression sat on the bow of the boat, smoking a cigarette. He raised his eyes and glanced at the students, then lowered his head and continued smoking.

Song Man walked over and spoke with him for a moment, then looked back and said:

"Now, I'll take everyone on a lake tour to visit the islands on the lake. The boat fare is 1,000 per person. It will be charged to your account first. After you leave Qinfeng Academy, the organization will deduct it from your next month's salary."

The middle-aged uncle put out his cigarette, started the yacht, and steered the boat towards the shimmering lake.

The cool lake breeze blew against their faces, the sun was bright, and the temperature was neither high nor low.

Inside the cabin, the students greeted each other and chatted casually.

Hongjige scrutinized Tianxia Guihuo:

"I've heard of you. You're the shame of Fire Masters."

Tianxia Guihuo said coldly: "I just use my brain more than you guys."

Hongjige revealed a contemptuous look: "As expected of the shame of Fire Masters, you're not even angry."

Yuan Ting then approached the group of female students and said: "Sisters, would you like to share some gossip? I know a lot of secrets about the official Four Young Masters..."

The female students' eyes lit up, and they started whispering to him.

Xiahou Aotian silently got up, walked to the stern of the boat, and stood with his hands behind his back, giving everyone a solitary and detached figure, as if he were standing alone in the world.

He probably thought that was very impressive.

Zhang Yuanqing pulled Zhao Chenghuang and Sun Miaomiao, asking with concern: "Huh? Why didn't you two bring your Yin corpses? Zhao Chenghuang, where's your level 4 Yin corpse?"

Sun Miaomiao opened her big, bright eyes: "Why would I bring Yin corpses on vacation?"

Zhang Yuanqing was waiting for this sentence. He slapped his thigh:

"I brought them." Immediately, he summoned Yin Yao Junzhu and Xue Qiangwei, loudly introducing them:

"Xue Qiangwei, an old friend. After leaving the Killing Instance, I upgraded her to level 4. This is the Yin corpse I refined recently, nicknamed Junzhu, level 5 peak. Zhao Chenghuang, level 5 peak. Sun Miaomiao, do you want to touch it? Hahaha."

Zhao Chenghuang and Sun Miaomiao: "..."

At this time, the sexy beauty Song Man brushed the hair that was ruffled by the lake wind behind her ears and said:

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

After everyone stopped talking, she said loudly: "Jiaoren live in Jiaoren Lake. They are ancient creatures and have a strong sense of territory. They are hostile to strangers. You must remember not to dive into Jiaoren Lake without permission."

"Violators will be given a major demerit, a month's salary will be deducted, and a fine of 100,000 will be imposed."

"If you are attacked by Jiaoren, remember to ask the manager for help."

She looked at the middle-aged man sitting at the bow of the boat in front of the control panel. "Also, Jiaoren are good at attracting prey with their singing near the lake. If you hear singing, do not approach Jiaoren Lake." As she spoke, Song Man suddenly revealed an ambiguous smile, sweeping over the male students present, and said:

"Although Jiaoren are as beautiful as flowers, their body structure is different from humans and they are not ideal objects for romantic affairs."

"Moreover, they have sharp little tiger teeth."

Inexperienced young female students didn't understand, but the male students understood. Tiger teeth hurt the...

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing immediately asked, knowing that this female teacher was experienced:

"Teacher Song Man, do you know Ling Jun?"

Song Man smiled: "My warning just now came from him. Ling Jun once studied at Qinfeng Academy and once sneaked into Jiaoren Lake at night, offending the Jiaoren Queen and nearly being killed by the Jiaoren. It was the manager who saved him."

"Huagongzi did such absurd things back then?"

Some female students were disillusioned.

Song Man changed the subject and said: "There is a type of fish in the lake called Moonlight Fish. The meat is delicious and the taste is excellent. If you want to taste it, you can pay the manager to fish for it, but the price is a bit expensive, 5,000 per pound."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hongjige jumped up: "I, I reserve ten pounds. I want to eat it fresh."

Song Man was stunned for a moment. This person was just furious about the 20,000-yuan school uniform, but now he was hesitating to reserve ten pounds of expensive Moonlight Fish.

Zhang Yuanqing explained in a low voice: "This guy is from Huadu."

Song Man said "Oh" once, suddenly realizing. At this moment, a melodious and pleasant song...
