Profound Heaven Soul Sovereign

The senior students froze for a moment, then a cold smirk appeared on their faces. ’Looks like the teacher has a really bad impression of this kid,’ they thought.

Profound Spirit Academy was the most powerful academy in the Liuyun Kingdom, located in the Royal City. It was home to countless nobles, royals, and geniuses. How could any teacher who taught here be a simple character?!

Leaving a bad impression on a teacher before even enrolling was definitely not a good thing.

"Heh," Ye Xuan smiled faintly. "I wanted to be low-key, but a bunch of idiots insisted on coming to me for a beating. I couldn’t just ignore them, could I?"

The proctor’s gaze suddenly sharpened. He stared coldly at Ye Xuan, and his aura swept through the area like a hurricane, making everyone’s hair stand on end.

Many senior students sneered inwardly. ’This kid is done for. How could he possibly have a good outcome after angering a teacher?’

But Ye Xuan simply met the proctor’s gaze with a smile on his lips, his expression calm and fearless.

"Hahaha, interesting, very interesting." The proctor suddenly burst out laughing, clearing the tense atmosphere in an instant. "Alright, here are your tokens. Take them and go register for enrollment."

The proctor tossed a few tokens into Ye Xuan’s and the others’ hands. His gaze lingered on Ye Xuan for a moment, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"You few, take Cao He to get treated. Yuan Shan, you continue organizing the new student assessments."

"Yes, Teacher!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Yuan Shan replied respectfully, his eyes glinting with a cold light as he glanced at the backs of Ye Xuan and his group as they left.

With the tokens, Ye Xuan and the others quickly completed their enrollment procedures.

The class structure at Profound Spirit Academy was somewhat similar to Xingxuan Academy’s. In the first semester, everyone, regardless of their strength, was placed in the freshman class. Starting from the second semester, they would be reassigned to either the junior or senior class based on their abilities.

The so-called junior class was for students between the First and Third Layer of Warrior, while the senior class was for students between the First and Third Layer of Martial Master.

The longest period of study at Profound Spirit Academy was six years. After six years, all students had to graduate, regardless of their strength. Additionally, anyone who reached the Third Layer of Martial Master could graduate early.

Generally, students who graduated smoothly could easily find a good job in the Royal City or join one of the major families if they wished.

After all, even a twenty-two-year-old Third Layer Martial Master was considered a child of heaven in the Liuyun Kingdom. It wouldn’t be particularly difficult for such a person to step into the Earth Martial Realm in their lifetime.

No power would ever think they had too many talents like that.

Carrying a large pile of things, Ye Xuan and his group arrived at the academy’s administrative area.

"I heard we freshmen all get a counselor. In the first semester, the counselor arranges our dorms and handles our daily affairs. I hope this counselor is easy to get along with. Of course, it would be even better if she’s a beauty," Chen Xing mumbled.

Because many new students at Profound Spirit Academy came from out of town, and the academy didn’t allow relatives or family to accompany them, they were bound to run into things they didn’t understand during their first semester.

And this counselor was the person the academy assigned to manage the students’ daily affairs.

The four of them entered the administrative area and were led by a senior student to the office of their first-year freshman counselor.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

The senior student knocked on the door. "Teacher, four new students have arrived. They need you to arrange their dorms."

"I know. You can go back now," a pleasant voice replied from inside.

The senior student left, and Chen Xing’s eyes instantly lit up, practically drooling. He said excitedly, "Young Master Xuan, listen! Just from that voice, you can tell she’s a total bombshell, hahaha."

Ye Xuan’s brow, however, furrowed. ’Why does that voice sound so familiar?’

CREAK— The office door opened.

All four of them—Ye Xuan included—stared wide-eyed.

"Teacher Yun!"

The four exclaimed in unison.

"What, not happy to see me?"

A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted over as a graceful figure appeared before them. She wore a stunning blue miniskirt that highlighted her curvaceous figure, and her exquisite, flawless face radiated a captivating charm. Her eyes fixed on Ye Xuan with a sly smile. Who else could it be but Yun Aoxue?

"We’re just too shocked," Leng Yingying murmured.

"Yeah, Teacher Yun, why are you at Profound Spirit Academy?"

Yun Aoxue, who was a teacher at Xingxuan Academy just last semester, had, in the blink of an eye, become a counselor at Profound Spirit Academy this semester. This was a change none of the four had expected.

"What’s so strange? I’m originally from the Royal City. I graduated early from Profound Spirit Academy, went to Xingxuan Academy to teach for two years as part of a support program, and now that I’ve broken through to become an Earth Martial Artist, it’s perfectly normal for me to return to Profound Spirit Academy to teach, isn’t it?" Yun Aoxue said with a faint smile.

Normal? Normal, my ass!

On the surface, it didn’t seem that special. Graduating from Profound Spirit Academy, then returning to teach after a breakthrough—it sounded quite normal.

But when they thought about it carefully, it was completely impossible.

What kind of place was Profound Spirit Academy? It was the number one academy in the Liuyun Kingdom, where some senior class students were at the Third Layer of Martial Master.

Normally, the most basic requirement for a teacher to join Profound Spirit Academy was to be an Earth Martial Artist. And that was just the bare minimum. A typical Earth Martial Artist wasn’t qualified to set foot in here. Even for a Third Layer Earth Martial Artist, it would be extremely difficult to secure a teaching position.

Yet Yun Aoxue had just broken through to the First Layer of Earth Martial Artist and was already teaching here. Only an idiot would believe that was normal.

’This girl must be from a rich or noble family,’ Ye Xuan thought, looking at Yun Aoxue pensively.

"What, are you surprised?" Yun Aoxue thought of Ye Xuan’s shocked expression earlier and felt a secret sense of triumph. She smiled slyly. "You’ve fallen into my hands again, haven’t you?"

For some reason, Yun Aoxue always felt an indescribable pull from Ye Xuan. He seemed incredibly mysterious, making her unable to resist the urge to explore. That was why she had pulled a few strings to get herself back to Profound Spirit Academy.

"Ahem, Teacher Yun, you’re like a persistent ghost," Ye Xuan muttered under his breath.

It was only then that he recalled the banquet hosted by City Lord Leng Tian, when Teacher Yun Aoxue had mysteriously asked him if he was coming to Profound Spirit Academy. It turned out she’d been scheming even back then.

"What did you say?" Yun Aoxue glared.

"Ahem, nothing. I said it’s wonderful! To be able to study under Teacher Yun Aoxue is an honor that spans three lifetimes."

Seeing Ye Xuan’s awkward predicament, Chen Xing snickered. "Young Master Xuan, oh, Young Master Xuan, someone can finally keep you in line."

He hadn’t been smug for long when a cold voice rang in his ear, "By the way, who was that chattering outside the door just now? Chen Xing, was that you?"

"No, it definitely wasn’t me! I’ll expose him—it was Young Master Xuan!" Chen Xing shrank back, swallowed hard, and shamelessly threw the blame on Ye Xuan. At the same time, his legs shifted, and his body quietly retreated a step.

"Is that so?" Yun Aoxue smirked and gave Chen Xing a noogie on the head, making him grimace in pain, tears nearly welling up in his eyes.

’She’s a devil! Teacher Yun is a real devil!’ Chen Xing wailed internally.

"Alright." Yun Aoxue was also quite happy to be reunited with her old students. After the banter, she said, "Let me take you to your lodgings first."

"Okay, great!"

Yun Aoxue led the group towards the residences.

Along the way, magnificent buildings came into view one after another. The structures, which resembled small palaces or castles, left Chen Xing and the others in constant amazement.

"Unbelievable."

"It’s so beautiful."

As Leng Yingying and Feng Rouyi saw the small bridges over flowing water, ancient castles and palaces, the fragrant flowers and birdsong, and the numerous gardens and streams, they couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

This Profound Spirit Academy was simply too beautiful. It didn’t seem like just an academy, but more like a scenic spot or a natural sanctuary.

Chen Xing promptly ruined their appreciation of the scenery. "Tsk, tsk, to occupy such a large piece of land in the Royal City, how rich must this Profound Spirit Academy be? If they sold off any one of these buildings, they’d probably make a fortune."

His way of thinking was always different from ordinary people.

"Vulgar!"

"Tacky!"

Leng Yingying and Feng Rouyi said disdainfully in unison.

Chen Xing clutched his face, his spirit deeply wounded. ’Am I wrong?’

Led by Yun Aoxue, the group soon arrived among a series of courtyards. These courtyards were like small villas, situated within beautiful gardens and divided into individual small areas.

"Teacher Yun, our dorms aren’t here, are they?" Chen Xing’s eyes were shining.

Yun Aoxue smiled faintly. "That’s right. Each courtyard here has many rooms. Since the four of you came together from Blue Moon City, I’ve chosen your dorms to be in the same courtyard. Any problem with that?"

"No problem, no problem at all!" Chen Xing nodded repeatedly.

Ye Xuan had no particular requirements for his lodgings, so he naturally had no problem with it either.

But Feng Rouyi and Leng Yingying exchanged a look and asked in surprise, "Teacher Yun, are the two of us also living with them? Does the academy allow co-ed housing?"

"Now that you’re at Profound Spirit Academy, you’re all more or less adults. And while this is a single courtyard building, the rooms inside are all independent of each other. Of course, if you two are unwilling, I can help you move to the female students’ area."

"No, that’s alright. We’ll stay here," Feng Rouyi and Leng Yingying said after exchanging another glance.

Yun Aoxue led Ye Xuan and the others into a well-situated courtyard. They had arrived relatively early, so no one else was there yet. Each room was a world of its own, with a living room, bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, cultivation room, and so on.

"All the freshman residences are the same, there’s nothing special about them. You can just pick any room you like. This courtyard can house eight new students. But you must remember, because both men and women live here, you’d better not enter another person’s residence without their permission. This is the one and only taboo. If it happens, the academy’s punishment will be very strict."

"Leng Yingying, Feng Rouyi, you two can stay here for a while. If you’re not satisfied, you can find me, and I’ll be responsible for helping you switch."

"Thank you, Teacher Yun," the two of them said gratefully.
