Chapter 146: The Servants Aren’t As Attentive As You Are!

Qin Ming looked at Frand, his eyes filled with deep emotion, for he had been completely brainwashed.

"Director Frand, without you and the teachers, there wouldn't be a Qin Ming today."

"This time, I finally have the opportunity to repay you. How could I not do my best?"

The banquet was much more lavish than expected, even though it was hastily arranged.

But Qin Ming still tried his best to prepare the best dishes to entertain everyone. The meal lasted until the stars hung high in the sky before it ended.

After traveling for so many days, the Shrek Academy group was exhausted, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

However, unlike the others, Yun Feng soon found himself visited by three figures.

He had no chance to even communicate with Ah Yin.

After one uneventful night, the next morning, Yun Feng had just finished his morning wash when he noticed that the three women had already left. He felt helpless. Was this his punishment?

They teased him and then ran away!

It felt worse than being killed.

However, Yun Feng had no way of stopping them. When he arrived downstairs, he found Qin Ming already there, and he had specifically arranged for the academy's hired chefs to bring a fresh breakfast.

"Yun Feng, you're up so early?" Qin Ming smiled as he approached.

After all, Yun Feng was an ultimate genius, and building a good relationship with him could only bring benefits.

Yun Feng, seeing it was Qin Ming, smiled as well. He didn't have much ill will toward this sycophantic senior, but considering his talent, he was certainly suitable to be carved onto the Tianbei, so Yun Feng directly said, "Senior, you're up early to cook for your good teachers?"

"Even the servants aren't as diligent as you~"

Qin Ming was momentarily stunned by Yun Feng's words, but he quickly composed himself, taking a deep breath. "In your Shrek Academy, the one who left the deepest impression on me is you."

"I truly don't know how you, so young, managed to cultivate such skill. You're far more outstanding than I was back then."

Hearing Qin Ming's praise, Yun Feng naturally accepted it.

"This is only natural, right?"

"I haven't been like you, blindly listening to Frand and the others, or I might have walked many wrong paths."

When Qin Ming heard this, he almost got furious. His internal hostility toward Yun Feng began to rise. After all, such slander against his revered teachers warranted death in his eyes!

If it weren't for the teachers valuing Yun Feng, he would have wanted to slay him right then and there.

However, after Yun Feng finished speaking, he stared directly at Qin Ming.

Once Yun Feng caught the killing intent in Qin Ming's eyes, he immediately smiled.

This was a good sign!

At that moment, the Tianbei in his sea of consciousness, which emitted an ancient aura, began to react again. The engraving knife appeared, and under Yun Feng's gaze, it quickly engraved Qin Ming's name onto the Tianbei.

Qin Ming, on the other hand, was forcing himself to suppress the anger within him.

After all, he couldn't let his short temper ruin the teachers' plans. Once he thought of this, Qin Ming looked at Yun Feng and said seriously, "What I said is from the heart. I've been at Tian Dou Royal Academy for a few years now. I've seen many talented students, like Tian Heng and Du Gu Yan. They're all very gifted."

"But compared to you, they're missing something—a characteristic of top-level experts!"

Hearing this, Yun Feng didn't continue to provoke him. After all, his name had already been engraved on the Tianbei, and the outcome was set.

So, with a smile, Yun Feng accepted the compliment.

After a pause, Qin Ming's gaze turned even more fervent, as if he was happy for his teacher's sake, completely ignoring Yun Feng.

"Junior, keep going. Honestly, I really want to see what level you can reach when you're 30. I believe you'll surpass me."

"Isn't that obvious?"

Yun Feng remained silent and didn't argue. He smiled at Qin Ming's words.

After the Shrek Academy group had breakfast, Qin Ming briefly introduced the structure of the Tian Dou Royal Academy to everyone.

The students at Tian Dou Royal Academy were divided into three levels: those who had just entered or were under level 25 were categorized as the Tian Wei level, those between level 25 and level 30 were at the Tian Zhi level, and those above level 30 were at the Tian Dou level.

The seven members of the Royal Dou Battle Team were all top-tier in the Tian Dou level, and the students they encountered the previous day at the foot of the mountain were all Tian Wei level students.

The teachers were also ranked similarly, with level 40 as the entry level for most high-level Soul Master academies, and at Tian Dou Royal Academy, the teachers had to be at least level 40.

Those who were between level 40 and level 50 were Tian Wei level teachers, level 50 to level 60 were Tian Zhi level teachers, and those above level 60 were Tian Dou level teachers.

Yesterday, they had seen Sun Bu Yu, who was a 53rd-level Tian Zhi teacher, and Qin Ming had just recently become a Tian Dou level teacher.

Since Tian Dou Royal Academy was affiliated with the Imperial Family of Tian Dou, the nominal director was the Emperor of Tian Dou, so there was no official position for a director within the academy.

Instead, a Teaching Committee was formed by the three oldest and most powerful Tian Dou level teachers, and this was the "academy leadership" Qin Ming had referred to.

The academy's matters were decided by the Teaching Committee, and some important issues also required approval from the Imperial Family.

The Tian Dou Empire valued the academy highly. Although the Emperor didn't have time to attend to it, a noble member of the royal family would typically be assigned to manage it.

After hearing Qin Ming's words, Frand laughed, "So, we could also be assigned as Tian Dou level teachers?"

Qin Ming smiled, "Of course. Tian Dou level teachers have a high status within the academy, and they usually only teach Tian Dou level students, which make up only 10% of the total student body."

"The teaching work is very light, but the rewards are high. In addition to all expenses being covered by the academy, each teacher receives an additional 3,000 Gold Soul Coins as salary."

"If there are special circumstances, there are also other income sources."

"3,000? That's extravagant."

Frand, having been an academy director before, was naturally concerned about this income. He had never dared to ask about it before, but when Qin Ming mentioned 3,000 Gold Soul Coins, his smile became even wider, and his satisfaction with the Tian Dou Royal Academy increased drastically.

"Qin Ming, lead the way. Let's meet with the three senior members of the Teaching Committee."

"Yes."

The Teaching Committee of Tian Dou Royal Academy was located in the central area of the main campus, in the largest building within the entire academy.

Although it was a single-story building, it stood 10 meters tall, giving off a feeling reminiscent of the Spirit Hall.
