Chapter 327: Legs Longer Than Life

Chapter 327: Legs Longer Than Life

Only one person, Flender, was currently still enjoying retirement at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

However, Flender had already broken through to the Spirit Douluo realm. He wasn't someone she, a mere Spirit Emperor, could handle.

"How can I take revenge?"

This question lingered in Xiao Wu's mind for two days before she finally decided to "apply for a job" at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

She was a Spirit Emperor-level "expert" and still so young—becoming a Heaven Dou-level teacher should be easy!

With that in mind, Xiao Wu left the city and headed toward the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

Just at a fork in the road, Tang San and Xiao Wu narrowly missed running into each other.

When Xiao Wu arrived at the academy, she was a little dazed. Why didn't the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy have any guards?

Fortunately, Meng Shenji and the others were unaware of what Xiao Wu was thinking—otherwise, they might have coughed up blood in anger.

The current Heaven Dou Imperial Academy had a total of five Spirit Douluo!

(Zhao Wuji had also broken through to the Spirit Douluo level.)

Anyone capable of defeating five Spirit Douluo wouldn't be stopped by gatekeepers.

And those who couldn't beat them wouldn't dare cause trouble either.

Besides, this was the top noble academy. Students came here mainly to "make connections." Who would stir up trouble for no reason?

Although, thanks to "Xue Qinghe's" reforms, talented commoners could now also enroll—that change had only taken effect this year. Enrollment hadn't even started yet.

"Young lady, may I ask what brings you here?"

Suddenly, a voice called out from nearby, startling Xiao Wu.

Damn—it was someone she actually knew!

"Hello, my name is Wu Mei. I'm here to apply for a position at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."

Xiao Wu spoke with poise and elegance, resembling a refined young lady from a noble household.

She was completely different from the Xiao Wu of the past.

"Apply for a position?"

The short man blinked, glancing at Xiao Wu in confusion. She looked so young—coming to apply?

At the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, the minimum requirement for teachers was Rank 40.

That was the level of a Heaven Minor-level teacher.

At Rank 50, one could be promoted to Heaven Prime.

And at Rank 60, one became a Heaven Dou-level teacher.

"This young lady is quite the genius if she's here to apply as a Heaven Minor-level teacher."

After thinking for a moment, the short man finally said, "My name is Zhao Wuji. I'm the fifth seat on the Education Committee of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."

"Since you're here to apply, please start by introducing yourself."

In this context, "introduction" didn't mean name but martial spirit, spirit power level, and so on.

"So it's Education Committee Member Zhao. Nice to meet you. I've heard so much about you."

Xiao Wu smiled as she spoke.

Zhao Wuji's expression brightened slightly. This young lady really knew how to talk.

As for "heard so much"...

He'd only been on the Education Committee for less than half a year. How could she have "heard so much"?

"Wu Mei. Martial Spirit: Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbit. Rank 62 agility-attack type battle Spirit Emperor."

As soon as she finished her introduction, Xiao Wu entered Spirit Possession mode.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black—six spirit rings quickly rose beneath her feet.

Her appearance and figure changed slightly.

Especially her legs—they looked even longer now.

Xiao Wu had always been a power-attack type battle spirit master. Yet here, she claimed to be an agility-attack type—just a bit of clever scheming.

Zhao Wuji's expression changed as he looked at Xiao Wu with disbelief.

Good heavens—a Spirit Emperor this young!

"Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbit..."

Zhao Wuji muttered to himself. He felt like he had heard that name somewhere before!

Suddenly, a long-forgotten memory struck his mind. His eyes lit up with realization.

"Haha, Wu Mei, you really resemble a former student of mine—especially your martial spirit."

Zhao Wuji smiled awkwardly. He wasn't particularly surprised that Xiao Wu was a Spirit Emperor.

What was there to be surprised about?

Hadn't he seen a god at the age of eighteen?

He, Zhao Wuji, had survived that god's first soul skill!

That was something Zhao Wuji felt he could brag about for a lifetime!

It had been an attack from a god!

He, Zhao Wuji, had actually fought a god—and lived to tell the tale.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's eye twitched. She hadn't expected Zhao Wuji to still remember after all this time.

Wait a minute—he said "student"...

When she entered Shrek Academy, she had only seen Zhao Wuji once. (That was when Zhao Wuji was injured by Tang Hao.)

That was during the entrance exam. She never thought he'd actually mistake her for that student...

"If that young girl is still alive, she should be around eighteen or nineteen now."

Zhao Wuji sighed and shook his head, then said, "Wu Mei, your talent and potential are more than enough to qualify as a Heaven Dou-level teacher. Come, I'll take you to meet the other members of the Education Committee..."

"Alright, Committee Member Zhao."

Xiao Wu nodded and replied.

With Xiao Wu's appearance, the students of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy were instantly in an uproar!

"Who's the beauty beside Committee Member Zhao?"

"She must be a new student, right?"

In an advanced spirit master academy, students weren't typically twelve or thirteen years old. Most were over sixteen.

Many were even twenty-four or twenty-five and still hadn't graduated—that was normal.

Xiao Wu's human age was only around nineteen. She was in the prime of youth...

Naturally, she attracted attention.

"What are you all staring at? This is the new Heaven Dou-level teacher!"

"She might even get assigned to your class!"

Zhao Wuji joked, but his words stunned the crowd of students.

"Heaven Dou-level teacher???"

No matter how they looked at her, Xiao Wu didn't seem like someone in her thirties!

"Hmph. Since when are the strong ranked by age?"

Zhao Wuji snorted and said, "You should know—there's always someone stronger out there!"

"The Thunder God King broke through to godhood a little after turning eighteen!"

"Do you know how powerful he was at twelve?"

"I know!"

"Alright, alright! Committee Member Zhao, we've already heard your story about surviving the twelve-year-old Thunder God King's slash dozens of times!"

The students protested, covering their ears. They didn't want to hear Zhao Wuji bring it up again.

Anyone who didn't know better might think Zhao Wuji was incredibly powerful.

He was a dignified Spirit Sage, Rank 78.

Yet he couldn't withstand a single strike from a twelve-year-old Rank 62 Spirit Emperor!

What the hell was there to brag about?

If Zhao Wuji really had guts, he should go challenge the Thunder God King now!

If he survived that, maybe then people would start calling him a god...

Zhao Wuji: "..."

"Fine, fine, fine!"

"All of you, wait right here. Not one of you is allowed to leave!"

"Once I drop off the new teacher with Elder Meng and the others, I'll come back and give you all a good workout!"

"Don't worry, it's for your own good! Definitely not personal revenge!"

"A strong physique will improve your success rate during tribulations!"

Everyone looked confused. From the way Zhao Wuji was acting, it really didn't seem like it was for their own good!
