After Zhu Youzhi left, Bi Da'er said in surprise:
"Did I misjudge? Which great family are you from?"
"Zhu Youzhi was able to become the director of education because he has real strength. Don't look at him like that, he's actually a level 59 Soul King!"
Yan Jin raised an eyebrow. "Oh? I can't tell at all. Is that fatty so powerful?"
At the Northern Academy, teachers, like students, are divided into three levels. Ordinary teachers are between level 36 and level 45. At level 46, they can become silver-badge teachers.
Once they reach level 56 and complete a certain assessment, they can be promoted to gold-badge teachers, with a significant increase in salary and benefits.
In addition, if a teacher's soul power reaches level 61 or above, they can directly become a gold-badge teacher without assessment.
Zhu Youzhi, as the director of education in charge of first-year affairs, is naturally one of the best gold-badge teachers.
"Sister, didn't you say you were going to change your reckless style?" Lei Yin frowned.
Yan Jin said with a smile, "Hehe, I thought about it again later. I have a master now... Anyway, he's very powerful and can handle most situations. There's no need for me to restrain myself too much. I'll just do what I like."
After speaking, she glanced at Amon with some guilt and said softly, "Amon?"
"Yes, I don't object... Just be happy." Amon raised his hand and adjusted the monocle on his right eye. "You guys chat first, I have something to do."
He walked slowly into the distance.
"Mr. Amon?" Lei Yin wanted to ask some questions, but Yan Jin stopped him.
"When he says that, it means he doesn't want us to follow..." Yan Jin dissuaded.
After walking dozens of meters, Amon stopped at a corner. He raised the brim of his pointed soft hat and looked at the restaurant on his right side, then walked over.
Arriving on the second floor of the restaurant, Walter was standing by the window, looking out with his hands behind his back.
"Mr. Walter, what's the matter that you suddenly contacted me?"
Amon's footsteps were silent. He walked to a red high-backed chair and sat down.
"What is Yan Jin's attitude now?"
Amon chuckled. "You mean her... It's not good, but it's not bad either. She hates your so-called 'test' before, but she doesn't reject becoming your disciple."
"It's good if she doesn't reject it. She will sincerely accept me sooner or later." A smile appeared on Walter's face. "I want to ask you for a favor."
"A favor?"
"As I said before, I am not good at teaching others and do not have extensive theoretical knowledge. The reason I have reached this point today is because I have struggled through countless life-and-death crises."
Walter's tone was sighing, and he said with some emotion:
"I would like to ask you to continue to teach Yan Jin in the future."
Amon leaned back slightly, resting against the back of the chair, and said in a flat tone:
"You should know that even if you don't say it, I will do it. She is the teammate I chose for the Soul Master Competition."
"That's exactly why I have to say it. I hope you can consider her from a more distant future.
"Don't give up growth for the sake of temporary combat power when choosing soul rings... She can go very far on the road of soul masters, farther than me," Walter said seriously.
"In addition, when hunting soul beasts, choose the best ones as much as possible. If the quantity is small, I can send people to find them. If the strength is strong, I can take action to help, or even ask others to help..."
High risk requires high returns. Walter's past experience has always made him believe in this principle.
Since Yan Jin passed the test of death upon failure and gained his approval, he will also give her corresponding treatment.
Moreover, since this "test" was not notified to her in advance and was arranged by him without authorization, he had to invest more on the original basis to make up for it.
"I am not a short-sighted person. The plan I made for her soul rings was based on the assumption that she would become a Titled Douluo in the future... Moreover, I don't care about that little bit of combat power."
Amon chuckled, and then said in a somewhat sarcastic tone:
"However, Mr. Walter, you took my student, who is like my half-disciple, as your own disciple, and then threw her back to me to teach?"
Walter's old face turned red. After pondering for a moment, he concealed his previous embarrassment and said in as calm a voice as possible:
"This is recognition of your teaching ability. I will give you a reward... You are a Soul Elder now, right? I can assist you in hunting your fourth and fifth soul rings, and personally take action to help you."
"A promise from a Soul Douluo, a very generous condition..." Amon put his left leg on his right leg, then changed the subject, "I thought you would let us all join the Spirit Hall before."
Walter smiled. "It's not the time yet. I know you want to show yourselves in the Soul Master Competition, but the members of the Spirit Hall's team have already been decided. The 'Golden Generation' is not so easy to surpass.
"Moreover, they represent not only themselves, but also the people who support them behind them. Even if the members originally did not belong to any forces, they should already have them now."
Amon took off his glasses, wiped them with a handkerchief, and put them back on. "Like Yan Jin who showed her talent?"
"Yes, like Yan Jin, she was originally just a commoner soul master, but now she has me behind her." Walter nodded and continued:
"If you join the Spirit Hall and want to replace some of them, you must not only show strength far superior to them, but also have a game with the people behind them."
"That's indeed troublesome..." Amon nodded. "What about Lei Yin? His talent is also good, are you not considering him?"
Amon was happy to see Yan Jin being accepted as a disciple by Walter.
This is beneficial to everyone.
Yan Jin gained a master who could provide her with resource support, and Walter had a good disciple who could inherit his mantle and surpass him.
And Amon can also share a lot of benefits from it. He can connect with a Soul Douluo through this connection!
In fact, from the beginning, he was "selling" Yan Jin's talent. He did this when he asked Ma Wen to invest, and he also did this when he suggested Yan Jin to become a disciple.
Whether it was guiding Yan Jin to further develop her talent, or making a gesture to participate in the Soul Master Competition, Amon's fundamental purpose was to obtain resources to help himself grow better and faster.
He only cares about himself.
Of course, if he can benefit, he doesn't mind winning together with others.
Walter hesitated for a moment and slowly shook his head. "No, it's enough to have one disciple worthy of my dedication and full training."
...
Northern Advanced Soul Master Academy, third-year teaching building, grade director's office.
"Da da da..."
A knock on the door sounded.
"Is Director Yu there?"
Yu Xinxue was wearing a white long dress, leaning lazily on the sofa. Her beautiful face showed a hint of confusion. She yawned, as if she had not fully woken up from her dream.
"Director Yu?"
Zhu Youzhi's voice made her shudder and wake up completely. It's still working time!
I can't be so depraved!
She quickly got up, tidied up her clothes, and patted her face with both hands.
After adjusting her posture, she said calmly, "Please come in."
"Good afternoon." Zhu Youzhi walked into the room and said softly.
Yu Xinxue frowned. "What are you here for? Which young master is it again?"
She is the most outstanding teacher in the academy, leading the most outstanding class. People often ask for relationships to put their children into her class.
In fact, she doesn't object to doing so, but if you want to put people in, you should at least see what quality they are!
It's not a big problem if the talent is slightly worse, but the style can't be bad, it will only corrupt the atmosphere of the entire class.
And Zhu Youzhi often helps some nobles to put people in. The most important thing is that he never looks at how the students are. As long as the relationship is in place, or the money is in place, he will come here.
This leads to her not having a good impression of Zhu Youzhi, but not to the point of disgust either.
She knows that as the director of the academy's first grade, he also shoulders the work of welcoming and sending off, and some social interactions are inevitable.
