"Is that Junior Qian?" someone asked, sounding a bit excited.
"What junior? Call him Senior. Even though he entered the school a year later than us, he graduated earlier. He goes by the seniority of the graduation year."
His companion gave him a sharp kick to the backside, making him grimace.
"It's me. Where are the teachers?" Qian Er asked, smiling at the scene of youthful energy before him before finally speaking.
"Professor Zheng Xin? He's still in his office, Senior. After you graduated, the professor often mentioned you to us."
The student who initially called Qian Er 'Junior' quickly corrected himself, excitedly telling Qian Er this.
In reality, it wasn't 'often.' Professor Zheng practically had Qian Er's name glued to his lips, starting every class without fail by saying, 'I taught the youngest True King in human history,' and repeating it several times per class, making their ears practically develop calluses.
"Alright, I understand. Both of you, after graduation, feel free to come develop your careers in my fiefdom. The benefits for Dark-type Beast Tamers are excellent."
Even during casual conversation, Qian Er didn't forget to poach talent. However, what he said wasn't wrong. Beishi, being on the front lines, faced the most enemies and naturally offered advantages to Dark-type Beast Tamers.
"Of course, Senior, rest assured, we'll definitely visit Beishi as soon as we graduate!"
The two students were already completely captivated by Qian Er's actions. This was a personal recruitment from an Imperial Duke; who could resist such an offer?
"Good, then I'll go find the teacher first."
Smiling and patting the two students on the shoulders, Qian Er headed towards Professor Zheng's office, as familiar with the route as he was with the back of his hand.
Standing at the office door, Qian Er suddenly felt playful. After lightly knocking twice, he immediately summoned the Myriad Transformation Demon, having it cover him and transform him into Professor Zheng's appearance.
"Come in."
Soon, Professor Zheng's voice came from inside.
Qian Er outside the door snorted coldly and pushed the door open, striding inside.
"Who are you?!"
As soon as he entered, before Professor Zheng could even look up, he heard a familiar, stern shout.
He looked up in confusion and saw himself standing right in front of him, glaring at himself with a furious expression.
Professor Zheng: ???
After a brief mental freeze, he immediately realized what was happening. He laughed in anger, jumped up from his chair, and immediately opened his Beast Taming Space.
"Good, good, good. I've been researching the Myriad Transformation Demon's simulation abilities my whole life, and this is the first time someone's played this trick on me."
After saying that, Professor Zheng began circling Qian Er, trying to find a flaw in his disguise.
Qian Er also began circling Professor Zheng, the two of them glaring at each other like bulls before a fight.
But soon, beads of cold sweat began to trickle down Professor Zheng Xin's temples.
He couldn't see any flaws!
The 'him' in front of him was completely natural, with no discernible flaws. If he wasn't here himself, he would definitely think the person in front of him was the real him.
But... how was that possible? In the art of transformation, how could anyone be better than him?
No... there actually was one person.
Professor Zheng Xin suddenly relaxed and slumped back into his chair.
"Why are you back, kid?"
He asked with a smile. As a quasi-King, he hadn't had the chance to learn about yesterday's events.
Seeing that Professor Zheng had guessed it was him, Qian Er had the Myriad Transformation Demon remove the disguise and sat down opposite Professor Zheng.
"Didn't I come back to see you, teacher? How's my Myriad Transformation Demon's training going?"
Qian Er asked with a grin.
"You've surpassed your teacher!"
Professor Zheng's eyes were filled with pride for his prized student, and he didn't hesitate to praise him.
"Haha."
The two looked at each other and burst out laughing.
At that moment, a sound of something hitting the window came from outside. Qian Er looked over and saw a sparrow constantly pecking at the glass.
It was Professor Yong Xuehai.
Qian Er quickly opened the window to welcome his teacher in.
"Hey, you didn't come to see me first after coming back? Did our relationship fade?"
Professor Yong Xuehai landed on Professor Zheng Xin's desk, hopped twice, then lowered his head to preen his feathers, while smiling as he spoke to Qian Er.
"How could that be? It's just that it's a bit closer to the Flesh and Blood Department's teaching building. By the way, where's Teacher Shi Zhong?"
Qian Er asked about the whereabouts of his third teacher.
But upon hearing this, both Zheng Xin and Yong Xuehai revealed expressions that they almost couldn't contain.
"He's still in secluded cultivation trying to break through to True King, thinking he can't be surpassed by you."
After saying that, Yong Xuehai couldn't help but flap his little wings on his thigh and laugh heartily.
He was now eagerly waiting to see what Shi Zhong's expression would be like when he came out and discovered that their student had already become a True King, a three-gold ennobled marquis, and even he had a path to True King.
After the three chatted for a while, Yong Xuehai used his beak to take out a handwritten copy from the spatial ring tied to his leg and handed it to Qian Er.
"I heard you say before that you contracted a Shadow Demon cub. This is just right for you."
Qian Er looked down at it, and it was filled with Professor Yong Xuehai's lifetime of experience in nurturing Shadow Demons and developing Shadow Dive skills.
It could be said that this thing was completely a priceless treasure that could be passed down through generations.
Qian Er's expression became solemn, and he respectfully bowed to Professor Yong Xuehai.
"Teacher, I also brought gifts for you all this time."
As he said that, Qian Er pointed to the spatial backpack that he had placed at his feet after coming in, which contained a complete corpse of a Void Sky Crane True King, and even the soul was imprisoned in the shell by the Reincarnation Flag.
"Oh? Good, we'll take a look at it later."
Professor Yong Xuehai didn't take this to heart at first, filled with joy at Qian Er's return. Seeing this, Qian Er didn't point it out and continued to reminisce with the two teachers.
After talking for a long time, the excitement finally subsided.
After bidding farewell to the two teachers, Qian Er left the office.
At this time, the two teachers finally had time to open the spatial backpack in front of them.
At the moment the spatial backpack was opened, the will of the True King-level Void Sky Crane shot straight into the sky. Although it had already died, the path it had walked had already been engraved on its body, and it wasn't so easy to disappear.
"True King corpse?!"
The two professors couldn't help but scream in surprise. Professor Zheng reacted first and closed the backpack, and the soaring will disappeared.
At the same time, Professor Yong Xuehai immediately rushed out of the office, wanting to call Qian Er back. This thing was too precious; where would the two old things need such precious things to break through?
But after going out, Qian Er was long gone. Knowing that the student was deliberately avoiding them, he had no choice but to fly back helplessly.
"Three-gold, if you absorb the flesh and blood of this True King corpse, what are your chances of breaking through to True King?"
After coming back, he asked Professor Zheng Xin.
"Thirty percent."
Professor Zheng Xin frowned and pondered for a while, giving an answer.
Thirty percent, not low, worth him betting on.
