Quan Family Boutique.
"Young Master, regarding the matter you instructed me on earlier, I've already handled it. That Sun Jie comes from a baron's family. Sun Jie is considered the most talented one in their clan, and I've already warned them."
Quan Yi nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Ying."
Quan Ying handed the information in his hands to Quan Yi. In addition, there were also some books on the table in front of Quan Yi—Yu Xiaogang's works.
Quan Ying began explaining, "These are the materials we've gathered on Yu Xiaogang. I can give you a brief introduction."
"Yu Xiaogang was originally a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. When he was young, he left the clan and joined Spirit Hall. Later, he left Spirit Hall as well and formed the Golden Iron Triangle with Flender and Liu Erlong, earning a resounding reputation in the Spirit Master World."
"But not long after, Yu Xiaogang left the Iron Triangle too. He is currently wandering alone in the Heaven Dou Empire. This man's Innate Soul Power was only half a level, and he failed to break through Level 30 before the age of twenty. Yu Xiaogang's current Soul Power Level is twenty-nine."
As Yu Xiaogang's background and experiences were laid out before Quan Yi, the image of Yu Xiaogang in Quan Yi's mind grew increasingly complete.
Quan Yi's assessment of Yu Xiaogang was that he was a lonely and helpless, mad researcher.
Quan Yi had always had one question about Yu Xiaogang: why had he not verified the accuracy of his theories himself? But after hearing about this man's talent, Quan Yi finally understood completely.
Even if Yu Xiaogang wanted to prove them, he could not. When he proposed his theories, he had probably already obtained his Second Soul Ring.
Pitiful, lamentable! Quan Yi's curiosity toward Yu Xiaogang reached its peak—not only because the other party was learned, but even more because he had a heart unwilling to be left in obscurity.
A mere Soul Grandmaster actually dared to challenge the "theorems" of the entire Spirit Master World, and even now, the Spirit Master World still could not refute Yu Xiaogang's theories. Was there anything more hot-blooded than that?
Quan Yi asked Quan Ying, "Uncle Ying, can you find this man's whereabouts?"
Quan Ying pondered for a moment, then replied, "No problem, but it will take some time."
"After you find him, don't disturb him. Report to me immediately."
Quan Yi's purpose in looking for Yu Xiaogang was very simple: he wanted to discuss some questions with him.
In truth, Quan Yi also had some "world-shocking" ideas in his mind, but he could not find anyone to discuss them with.
He wanted to ask this world's Grandmaster and see exactly how he thought.
"Yes. I will obey the Young Master's instructions." Quan Ying respectfully bowed to Quan Yi.
Quan Yi stood up, placed all the materials and books on the table into the Blazing Sun Heart, and prepared to leave the shop.
He had come here today for two purposes. One was to instruct Quan Ying to add one more person's portion of Soul Beast Meat, and the other was Yu Xiaogang.
The matter of the Soul Beast Meat had already been properly arranged. Adding one more person's portion of Soul Beast Meat was child's play for Quan Ying; it was merely a matter of spending a little more money.
Quan Ying wanted to accompany him, but Quan Yi refused. "No need, Uncle Ying. You go handle your own affairs. I'll be leaving first."
With that, Quan Yi left the Quan Family Boutique.
Early the next morning, Quan Yi slowly opened his eyes in the Dormitory.
Today was the new student entrance ceremony, so last night, in a rare change, Quan Yi had not gone to the Mimetic Training Field.
Quan Yi changed into the uniform issued by the academy, a Golden Red school uniform.
Quan Yi looked at the uniform on his body and felt extremely uncomfortable. In particular, the color was far too eye-catching. All he could say was, as expected of Blazing Fire Academy.
The new students had to gather at the entrance of the New Student Dormitory, then head to the entrance ceremony together.
So when Quan Yi arrived at the entrance, the originally quiet morning had been replaced by the students' noisy chatter.
"Quan Yi!" Huo Wu's call came from not far away.
This action drew everyone's gazes to Huo Wu.
That was no wonder. Huo Wu's height and appearance made her stand out from the crowd, so her every move drew everyone's attention. On this point, Quan Yi was the same.
Quan Yi ignored the reactions around him. His gaze landed on Huo Wu.
After putting on the school uniform, Huo Wu looked even more youthful and vibrant. Quan Yi raised his hand and waved, then walked straight over to Huo Wu's side.
"You actually look pretty good in the school uniform. You could try wearing other clothes normally too."
Seeing Quan Yi in a rare change of clothes, appreciation flashed through Huo Wu's eyes.
The Golden Red school uniform greatly enhanced Quan Yi's bearing. His strong body stretched the uniform tight. "Uniform thug"—upon seeing Quan Yi, that phrase would involuntarily pop into one's mind.
"Haah, I wouldn't get to wear those clothes many times anyway. Buying them would just be a waste of money."
Quan Yi was helpless too. His body was growing too quickly, and clothes soon became unwearable.
Therefore, in his view, buying clothes was a waste of money. It was better to wear a White Short-Sleeve and Black Shorts. Even if the clothes became too small, Quan Yi could throw them away without feeling the slightest pain.
"Doesn't that mean you can buy even more clothes? When your clothes get too small, you can buy new styles."
Huo Wu's perspective was different from Quan Yi's.
Quan Yi had already witnessed before that Huo Wu had money.
Soul Beast Meat worth several hundred Gold Soul Coins—she bought it just like that. Although he had guessed that Huo Wu's family was wealthy, he had never imagined that Huo Wu herself would have this much money too.
Quan Yi could only silently complain in his heart, Rich girl!
At this moment, a teacher's voice rang out.
"Let's go. The teacher's calling us to line up."
When Huo Wu heard the teacher calling, she directly pulled Quan Yi over to line up.
The two of them stood side by side at the very front of the line.
At times like this, Huo Wu was glad Quan Yi was there. Otherwise, she would have stood out far too much on her own.
The group followed the teacher's lead and arrived at the Academy's main Training Ground.
The freshman entrance ceremony was attended by all the students together.
Because of that, several hundred people stood neatly arranged on the Training Ground, making Quan Yi think back to his elementary school days.
Before long, the freshman entrance ceremony officially began.
Quan Yi had originally thought this freshman entrance ceremony would be the same as in his previous life: an elderly Dean standing before all the teachers and students in the school, saying a bunch of dull, pointless things.
But very quickly, Quan Yi changed his mind.
A young man stepped onto the Speaker's Platform, and since Quan Yi was standing in the first row, he could see the man's face clearly.
He looked to be only in his thirties, very young.
The young man walked to the center of the Speaker's Platform, then began addressing all the teachers and students of the school.
"Students, teachers, hello, everyone. First, allow me to introduce myself to the new students. I am the Dean of this Academy—Xue Yuan. On behalf of the Academy, I welcome all of our new students.
Let me first briefly introduce our Academy's achievements.
In recent years, because of the existence of the Simulated Environment Training Ground, our Academy's graduation rate has continued to rise. Moreover, more and more young Spirit Masters have joined our Academy's teaching staff.
Every student can receive high-quality instruction from the teachers here at this Academy.
Therefore, I can assure everyone that over the next six years, you will spend a fulfilling and wonderful Academy life here."
Xue Yuan was confident and poised, and his description of the Academy's situation filled every new student's heart with anticipation for the future.
Looking at the high-spirited Dean, Quan Yi also felt a sense of identification with this Academy rise in his heart.
