Hearing Xu Lin's tone, someone who didn't know better would think he had made a huge concession. In reality, he was hoping for exactly this.
"Taking him as a disciple is out of the question. Yun Ze has his own teacher and won't take anyone else as a master," Gu Yue Na refused on Yun Ze's behalf. This teacher was fictional; saying this externally could save Yun Ze a lot of trouble.
"He has a teacher? Who is it?" Xu Lin was taken aback, a look of disappointment flashing across his face.
"My teacher doesn't allow me to casually speak of his name to others," Yun Ze said, adding a veil of mystery to this non-existent teacher.
"Is that so..." Xu Lin understood, knowing he wouldn't get anything more by asking, so he didn't press further. He was very curious about Yun Ze's teacher, speculating on his strength, and feeling a bit envious.
"Yun Ze, I sincerely invite you to join our Sun Moon Royal Academy. If you join, I can guarantee that I will definitely cultivate you into a peerless expert."
"Although our Sun Moon Royal Academy is best at teaching soul guidance devices, our ability to cultivate Soul Masters has also improved in recent years."
"There might still be a gap compared to Shrek Academy, but this gap is not an insurmountable chasm; it can be bridged."
"To better develop your talent, we can specifically hire Titled Douluo experts to be your instructors."
"What I mean is, your regular teachers will be Titled Douluo experts; there won't be any teachers weaker than this level."
"You should know that having a Titled Douluo teach you daily is a privilege that even students at Shrek Academy cannot enjoy."
"Such teaching resources are definitely stronger than Shrek Academy's and more conducive to your growth," Xu Lin said seriously. After speaking, he added, "I'm not trying to trick you. As long as you agree to enroll, I will absolutely find a Titled Douluo to be your instructor."
"I can guarantee this in the name of the Dean of Sun Moon Royal Academy. There is absolutely no falsehood."
Xu Lin looked at Yun Ze with burning eyes, waiting for his response. He was determined to recruit this talented young man with innate level twenty Soul Power. Such talent was simply astonishing, and it was no exaggeration to call him the most talented Soul Master on the continent. If Yun Ze could be cultivated, he would definitely be an existence not inferior to Shrek's Yun Ming, and might even have a chance to replace him and become the continent's number one expert. Since he had encountered such a talented Soul Master, it was impossible to let him go to Shrek Academy; he had to fight for him no matter what.
Yun Ze was unmoved by the benefits Xu Lin mentioned, as if having a Titled Douluo as a teacher was no benefit to him at all.
"I don't need anything else. All I want is absolute freedom and the right to access the academy's资料," Yun Ze said.
Xu Lin looked surprised, not expecting this to be what Yun Ze wanted. After a moment of thought, he said, "I can agree to your right to access the academy's资料. As long as it doesn't involve some top-secret documents, the academy's资料 will be open to you."
"As for the absolute freedom you mentioned, I'd like to ask, what does this absolute freedom refer to?"
"It's exactly what it means, absolute freedom. I hope that within the academy, my time can be arranged by myself."
"I don't need to attend the academy's classes, I don't need to follow the teacher's arrangements for cultivation, and I don't need others to interfere with my affairs."
"I will abide by the rules in the academy and not affect others. Similarly, I hope others will not affect me," Yun Ze explained his demands. It was definitely not acceptable for him to attend classes like a child; it would be too much of a waste of time.
Xu Lin frowned, somewhat displeased, and said, "Are you still considered a student of Sun Moon Royal Academy like this?"
"Studying at the academy, not attending classes, not needing teachers to teach you, then what's the point of you joining the academy? Is it just to access the academy's资料?"
It was true... Yun Ze's enrollment in Sun Moon Royal Academy was partly due to the academy's background with the Federation Government, and the second reason was the abundant资料. For him, once he understood the theory of some things, it was essentially the same as knowing how to do them. Letting him operate them practically, he could become very proficient. The methods for making high-level soul guidance devices, high-level mechs, and Battle Armor within Sun Moon Royal Academy were all things he wanted to master.
At this point, Gu Yue Na interjected, "Dean, Yun Ze's request is actually based on his actual situation."
"He has the ability to remember things at a glance, and his practical ability is also strong. Basically, once he understands the theory, he can put it into practice."
"His self-learning ability is extremely astonishing. For example, with soul guidance devices, he completely mastered the Third Level Soul Guidance Array and its inscription method through self-study."
"Strictly speaking, he can now be considered a Third Level Soul Guidance Master, a Third Level Soul Guidance Master who is self-taught."
"From this, you can also see how terrifying Yun Ze's self-learning ability is. If he were taught by a teacher, it might limit the development of his talent, which would be counterproductive."
"It is precisely because of this that..."
"Wait, wait," Xu Lin quickly interrupted Gu Yue Na, rubbed his ears, suspecting he had misheard, and confirmed in disbelief, "Did I mishear, or did you say it wrong? Yun Ze is already a Third Level Soul Guidance Master? A six-year-old Third Level Soul Guidance Master?"
Xu Lin's tone became heavier, and his heart rate quickened. If this was true, his understanding would be completely refreshed.
Gu Yue Na's lips curved slightly, and she said, "I didn't say it wrong. Yun Ze can indeed be considered a Third Level Soul Guidance Master now."
"Dean, if you don't believe me, you can bring the materials, and let him make a soul guidance device for you on the spot. This way, you can verify the truth of my words."
Seeing Gu Yue Na's confident expression, a bold idea arose in Xu Lin's mind. Could it be...
His gaze fell on Yun Ze. His eyes no longer looked like he was looking at a monster, but at a celestial being, at a peerless treasure.
"If you can really make a Third Level Soul Guidance Device, you can treat the academy as your own home from now on, and do whatever you want."
"No teacher will interfere with anything you do, not even me. I will give you absolute freedom," Xu Lin looked directly at Yun Ze, his breathing rapid. If Yun Ze really made a Third Level Soul Guidance Device, let alone freedom, it would be fine for him to give up his position as dean.
Just after speaking, he changed the subject and said, "But if you can't make it, then you'll have to study obediently at the academy and follow the curriculum arranged for you by the academy."
"No problem," Yun Ze nodded, casting an appreciative look at Gu Yue Na. Gu Yue Na understood the meaning in Yun Ze's eyes and smiled sweetly. This time, they cooperated very well and basically achieved their goal.
"What materials do you need? Just say it, and I'll have someone prepare them for you immediately," Xu Lin said somewhat impatiently.
"Just prepare a set of materials needed to make a Third Level Soul Guidance Ray Gun," Yun Ze said.
"Are you sure? The difficulty of making a Third Level Soul Guidance Ray Gun is not simpler than making some Fourth Level Soul Guidance Devices," Xu Lin questioned. He felt that Yun Ze was being a bit arrogant, not choosing something simple to make, but instead choosing one of the top three most difficult Third Level Soul Guidance Devices. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
"Sure," Yun Ze nodded, his calm face containing absolute confidence.
