Classroom 21, Eighth Grade.
Jiang Ye entered the room and found it bustling with activity. Most of the parents had already arrived.
The classroom was large, resembling a conference hall.
Seventy seats were arranged in ten rows of seven.
Jiang Ye's seat was in the corner of the last row.
The moment he stepped into the classroom, all eyes turned to him.
"Is that... a star practitioner's badge?"
"A third-tier star professional?"
"A third-tier star professional so young? Who is he?"
Dozens of gazes converged on Jiang Ye, each filled with astonishment.
Tianhai Thirteenth Middle School was a prestigious junior high school.
The parents who could afford to send their children here were all influential figures with broad horizons.
A third-tier star professional was a rank reserved for those who had achieved at least the sixth breakthrough!
"Sixth breakthrough? Or even seventh?"
"How can he be so young?"
"He must have powerful connections." Many parents showed respectful expressions.
At the same time, a female teacher in a black pencil skirt hurried forward to greet him.
"Sir," she said respectfully, "may I ask which student's parent you are?"
"Jiang Ting," Jiang Ye replied with a polite smile.
"Jiang... Jiang Ting?" The teacher froze in surprise.
As the teacher of Class 21 in the second grade, she had access to her students' family information.
But how had she never heard of such a distinguished elder in Jiang Ting's family?
While the teacher was still reeling from the shock, Jiang Ye ignored her confusion and strode straight to the last row of seats.
"Wait a moment," the teacher called out, hurrying after him. "Sir, your seat is in the first row."
"The first row?" Jiang Ye paused, surprised.
Wasn't it supposed to be the last row?
Suddenly, realization dawned on him. He nodded to the teacher. "Thank you."
He then took his seat in the first row.
The dramatic shift from the last row to the first was unmistakable. Jiang Ye knew it was all thanks to the gleaming shoulder insignia on his uniform.
A third-tier star professional!
Such a status commanded respect everywhere.
Meanwhile, in the corridor outside the classroom:
"Jiang Ting's brother?"
"Why did he go to the first row?"
"The teacher is so respectful to him?" The students were astonished.
Jiang Ting ranked last in martial dao performance across the entire school.
There was a reason she had been assigned to that seat.
But now, Jiang Ting's brother seemed to be anything but ordinary.
"My brother?" Jiang Ting was equally bewildered.
She knew her brother was formidable, but this was beyond anything she had imagined.
"Brother..."
Jiang Ting gazed at the figure in the classroom, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration.
Time flowed by.
The parent-teacher conference quickly concluded.
Inside the classroom:
"Hello, I'm Wang Hai from the Tianhai Group. May I introduce myself?"
"Young man, I'm Chen Fang from the Blue Sky Group. Would you mind adding me as a friend?"
"I'm..."
A crowd of parents approached Jiang Ye, all eager to connect with him.
Jiang Ye didn't refuse.
After handling each introduction politely, he exchanged contact information with most of the parents.
"These are all high-level executives from major corporations," Jiang Ye mused inwardly.
These were the elite of Donghai Province.
While they couldn't compare to the transcendent aristocratic families, their influence far surpassed that of ordinary families.
Six months ago, even with his status as an Upper A-tier student at White Dragon University, Jiang Ye might not have been able to associate with such figures.
But now? They were actively seeking him out.
Jiang Ye couldn't help but glance at the gleaming gold shoulder insignia on his uniform.
"Power truly is captivating," he murmured, shaking his head slightly.
Soon, the parents began leaving with their students.
The classroom was now empty except for Jiang Ye and the teacher in the pencil skirt.
"Sir," the teacher said, noticing Jiang Ye hadn't left. "Do you have any further questions?"
"Yes."
"I've heard Jiang Ting's martial dao performance is poor, dragging down the school's overall results," Jiang Ye stated bluntly. "I'm here to discuss transferring her to another school."
"Ah..."
The teacher's face immediately flushed with embarrassment.
"Sir, you've misunderstood," she quickly interjected. "Martial dao training only just begins in the second year of middle school."
"There's still over a year until the high school entrance exams."
"I believe Jiang Ting still has significant room for improvement," the teacher forced a smile.
"Her martial dao performance is undeniably weak," Jiang Ye countered, shaking his head. "If she's truly dragging down the school's results, it's best to transfer her sooner rather than later."
He didn't want Jiang Ting to face isolation here.
Having witnessed what Chen Zilu had endured, he refused to let his sister suffer the same fate.
The teacher fell silent at his words.
After a long pause, she said, "Very well."
"Let Jiang Ting stay for another semester," Jiang Ye said. "If it still doesn't work out, then we'll consider transferring her."
"Martial dao talent can't be forced."
"Alright, agreed," the female teacher immediately replied.
She had actually been considering transferring Jiang Ting all along.
Her earlier reluctance was merely to avoid offending Jiang Ye.
As a junior high school teacher, she couldn't afford to antagonize a third-tier star professional.
Even within Donghai Province, the influence of a third-tier star professional was considerable.
"Sir, please rest assured," the teacher said solemnly. "Whether a student has great talent or not, I will do my utmost for them all—Jiang Ting included."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Teacher," Jiang Ye said with a smile.
"You're welcome! It's my duty!" the teacher replied quickly.
"Alright."
"I'll take Jiang Ting home now. Teacher, please carry on with your work," Jiang Ye said.
"Very well! Please take care," the teacher said, bowing slightly in respect.
Jiang Ye stood up and walked out.
Left behind, the teacher murmured to herself, "A third-tier star professional so young... who exactly is he?"
"That was truly terrifying," the female teacher murmured, watching Jiang Ye walk out of the classroom. She couldn't help but exhale in relief, her heart still pounding.
Her deep respect wasn't solely due to Jiang Ye's status.
More importantly, she had sensed an overwhelming killing qi emanating from him—a killing qi as vast as the sea.
Even disregarding his identity as a third-tier star professional, such intense killing qi alone proved that Jiang Ye was no ordinary person.
He was a ruthless figure who had slaughtered countless lives.
"Tingting."
Jiang Ye had barely stepped out of the classroom when Jiang Ting rushed up to him, grabbing his hand. "Why were you sitting in the front row? I always sit at the back!"
"Because your big brother is awesome, of course," Jiang Ye said, pinching her delicate cheek.
"Aiya, Brother!"
"You're pinching my cheek again!" Jiang Ting glared at him, puffing out her cheeks, then asked curiously, "I know you're amazing, but my teacher is really strong too. Why was she so respectful to you?"
"Because your big brother is a big shot now," Jiang Ye replied with a mysterious smile.
"A big shot?"
"What kind of big shot?" The little girl stared in bewilderment.
"Let's talk about it at home," Jiang Ye said, taking her hand and leading her out of the school.
At Penglai University, inside the Heavenly Residence Villa:
"What?"
"A third-tier star professional? With authority over an entire county?" Jiang Ting exclaimed in disbelief. "Brother, are you a county magistrate now?!"
"What county magistrate? Don't spread rumors," Jiang Ye said, shaking his head slightly. "I only have the authority to deploy units below the county level. Besides, it's a complicated and difficult task."
"But that's practically the same as being a county magistrate!" Jiang Ting said, her eyes widening in surprise. "Brother, you're so amazing!"
"Don't tell anyone about this," Jiang Ye warned.
"I won't, I promise!"
Jiang Ting wrapped her arms around his, her face pressed close to his. "Brother belongs to me," she said affectionately. "I won't tell anyone."
"You little rascal," Jiang Ye said, shaking his head helplessly. "You're almost fifteen, yet you still act like a child."
Just then, Jiang Ye's mind stirred. He activated his interface and glanced at Jiang Ting.
Two lines of text floated above her head:
Physique: Martial Fetus Holy Body
Innate Aptitude: Primitive
"It's definitely the Martial Fetus Holy Body," Jiang Ye thought, frowning inwardly. "Logically, this girl should be progressing rapidly in her cultivation."
How could she be ranked dead last in the entire school?
During the parent-teacher conference, he had learned about Jiang Ting's martial dao performance.
After half a year of cultivating the Star Martial Cultivation Method, she hadn't made a single inch of progress!
Her punching power was still less than 100 kilograms, far from even reaching the entry level.
"Jiang Ting."
"Starting today, I'll be supervising your cultivation," Jiang Ye said sternly. "If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me."
"Huh?"
"Okay," Jiang Ting replied, quickly nodding, though she didn't understand why her brother had suddenly become so serious.
"Let's start now."
"Demonstrate the Star Martial Cultivation Method you've learned for me," Jiang Ye said, his face still stern.
