Freshman Class One

While Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiuer were fighting outside the dormitory building, Ji Lin, with his powerful Mental Power, sensed the soul power fluctuations not far from the dormitory.

Curious, Ji Lin looked through the window and saw the two girls fighting outside. The moment he saw them, his eyes widened.

He had guessed that the Auspicious Beast might take human form as Wang Qiuer and come to Shrek Academy, but he had not known when she would arrive.

But Wang Dong'er's appearance was beyond his expectations.

Had the butterfly effect caused by that Plane Shield Card been this huge?

Wang Dong'er had actually come to school without disguising herself as a boy. She had not shared a dormitory with Huo Yuhao either; instead, she had run into the Auspicious Beast and even started fighting her.

It seemed that without God King Tang's interference, Wang Dong'er had not made the suffocatingly absurd moves she did in the original work.

You had a Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul, yet you disguised yourself as a boy to attend school. Anyone with a bit of common knowledge knew that Light Goddess Butterfly martial souls only appeared in females.

He truly did not know how Huo Yuhao in the original work had failed to discover that Wang Dong was a girl despite spending every day with her.

He really had not studied the theoretical classification of soul beasts seriously. He must have put all his attention into Soul Tools instead.

Still, looking at the two pinkish-blue-haired girls outside, who were almost identical, Ji Lin could say for certain that Wang Dong'er was no match for Wang Qiuer right now.

After all, Wang Dong'er was only level 21 because she was lazy. The gap between their Soul Power Levels was far too great.

Sure enough, Wang Dong'er was quickly subdued by Wang Qiuer. However, seeing Wang Dong'er's current pose, Ji Lin covered his nose with his hand, feeling it itch a little.

Wang Dong'er's pose was rather enticing. Ji Lin gave this fanservice full marks, though the safety shorts did somewhat ruin the experience. Bad review.

Huo Yuhao looked at Ji Lin in confusion and asked, "What's wrong, Ji Lin? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Do you want to go to the infirmary and have a teacher take a look?"

"I'm fine. I'm just feeling a little overheated."

Ji Lin gave an awkward explanation. Seeing that the two outside had finished fighting and left, he shut the window as well, returned to his bed, and began meditating to cultivate Void Sword Qi.

Huo Yuhao was utterly baffled and muttered, "Overheated? Did he eat something spicy?"

Seeing Ji Lin begin cultivating, he said no more. Sitting cross-legged on the hard wooden bed, Huo Yuhao quickly entered meditation and began cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

He understood the gap between himself and the other students, so naturally, he could not waste even a moment.

Although his cultivation speed was still far behind Bei Bei and Tang Ya's, he had made considerable progress compared to his former self. After switching to the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he could at least feel himself improving every day, which was already far better than before. Moreover, after cultivating on the road these past few days, his originally mixed and impure soul power had been completely converted into Mysterious Heaven Skill soul power. One aspect of the soul power produced by the Mysterious Heaven Skill was particularly effective for him: as the Mysterious Heaven Skill circulated, it would naturally nourish his meridians. Though its benefits were not yet apparent, Bei Bei had told him that if he persisted over a long period, it would definitely improve his physique.

Early the next morning, while Ji Lin was still washing up, he saw Huo Yuhao absorb the purple qi to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye, then spend two hours practicing Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Mysterious Jade Hand.

Ji Lin also cultivated Void Sword Qi for a while. Afterward, the two went to the cafeteria together for breakfast.

He could tell that Huo Yuhao cultivated diligently. Aside from eating, he spent every day cultivating.

Unfortunately, without Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, the only path left for the poorly talented Huo Yuhao was probably Soul Tools.

Or perhaps obtaining the secret arts of the Body Sect and allowing his Body Martial Soul to undergo a second awakening.

But none of that had anything to do with Ji Lin. At most, he would lend Huo Yuhao a little help. He had no desire to be a nanny.

Over the next two days, Ji Lin and Huo Yuhao spent their time cultivating. Worth mentioning was that Ji Lin encountered Wang Qiuer in the cafeteria.

However, Wang Qiuer pretended not to know Ji Lin and showed no intention of speaking to him. Wang Dong'er, who was with her, naturally paid Ji Lin no attention either, at most giving him a couple extra glances because of his handsome appearance.

Seeing Wang Qiuer play dumb, Ji Lin did not expose her. He merely pretended to be confused, sized her up a few times, and then ignored her. Acting was his specialty.

The new year's enrollment work finally came to an end, and the freshman dormitory building grew livelier. Though each dormitory was not large, they were at least shared by only two people. It was noisy outside, but the dormitories had excellent soundproofing.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was still cultivating, Ji Lin reminded him, "Yuhao, class starts in half an hour. Don't be late."

"Oh." Huo Yuhao responded, then closed his eyes and continued meditating. After all his efforts these past days, he had at least become increasingly proficient with the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Half an hour was enough for him to circulate it through one full cycle and improve his soul power by the slightest bit.

Seeing Huo Yuhao begin meditating again, Ji Lin shook his head. He was working far too hard.

Without looking back, he was the first to leave the dormitory. It had been two days, yet he had never seen Huo Yuhao lie down to sleep.

The doors of the white teaching building stood open as the freshmen, dressed in white school uniforms, filed inside. On the left chest of every uniform was the green little monster emblem representing Shrek Academy. Students of different grades wore different-colored uniforms, just like the colors of their teaching buildings.

Ji Lin entered the teaching building and saw the sign for Class One on the leftmost first classroom on the ground floor. He slowly walked in.

At the moment, the spacious classroom was still rather empty. Clearly, many students had yet to arrive. Ji Lin found an empty seat, sat down, reclined in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

Time slowly passed, and students gradually entered the classroom. Wang Qiuer and Wang Dong'er were unexpectedly students of Class One as well. Whether it was deliberate or not, Wang Qiuer sat beside Ji Lin, while Wang Dong'er sat beside Wang Qiuer. After spending two days together, their relationship seemed to have improved considerably.

Huo Yuhao also entered the classroom before the bell rang. Seeing that there were no seats left beside Ji Lin, he casually found an empty seat and sat down.

Ji Lin's appearance was simply too outstanding. Girls filled every seat around him, in front, behind, to the left, and to the right.

Just then, someone entered through the classroom door. It was an elderly woman, with wrinkled skin and crane-white hair. Her grayish-white hair was coiled atop her head, and she wore a white robe. She was of average build. What was especially unusual was that she had an exceptionally bright pair of eyes, her black pupils gleaming sharply.

Though this old woman was advanced in years, her back was ramrod straight. In only a few steps, she reached the podium. Without a doubt, she was the teacher of Freshman Class One.

When the teacher entered, the previously noisy class immediately fell silent, all eyes turning toward the podium.

The elderly woman's gaze calmly swept from left to right. At once, everyone felt as though they were being watched by her, and an invisible pressure arose in their hearts.

"My name is Zhou Yi, and I am your homeroom teacher. I'm not sure how many of you will make it through the coming year with me. But let me tell you this: in my class, no trash will ever pass the assessment. What I intend to cultivate are monsters, not idiots."

Teacher Zhou's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like a broken gong being struck.
