Cultivation Direction

"Cultivation direction?"

Quan Yi glanced at Teacher Bai Yan, but the teacher was resting with her eyes closed.

Quan Yi looked around again. Everyone seemed a little puzzled too, but the students quickly began writing down their answers.

Then they handed their papers to the teacher and left the classroom.

Huo Wu, beside him, finished writing her answer very quickly as well and flipped the blank sheet over. She even glanced at Quan Yi, signaling for him to hurry up.

Quan Yi had a clear answer in his heart—Power Attack System.

However, the teacher's actions left Quan Yi somewhat confused.

His greatest doubt was whether this question was being asked too early.

Classes had not even officially started yet, and everyone was still only six years old.

Something like a cultivation direction could very likely change as they grew older.

It might also change depending on the effects of the Soul Skills they obtained later.

What was the point of asking everyone about their cultivation direction this early?

"Hey, hey, what are you thinking about? You still haven't finished writing?"

Huo Wu, beside him, urged Quan Yi in a low voice.

Only then did Quan Yi pull himself out of his thoughts.

Quan Yi immediately wrote the three words "Power Attack System" on the paper, then handed it in together with Huo Wu.

Teacher Bai Yan still looked perfectly unbothered, not caring whether the students had left or not.

After Quan Yi pulled Huo Wu into giving the teacher a bow, they left the classroom.

As soon as they left the classroom, Huo Wu could not wait to ask, "Xiao Yi, what did you write?"

"I wrote Power Attack System. What about you?"

"Hmph, I wrote Control System, which just happens to counter your Power Attack System."

Huo Wu raised her head proudly and said with some smugness.

"Although my Physical Quality still can't compare to yours, if we really fought, it wouldn't be certain who would win."

Huo Wu cared a great deal about victory and defeat, especially when it came to winning or losing against Quan Yi.

She had been cultivating hard all these days, and Huo Wu's strength was improving at a visibly rapid pace.

Huo Wu felt that although there was still a gap in their Soul Power Level, in battle, the Control System countered the Power Attack System, so she believed the outcome was still hard to say.

Quan Yi did not commit either way and simply smiled and nodded.

"By the way, what's your impression of Teacher Bai Yan?"

Quan Yi naturally changed the topic, asking Huo Wu for her opinion of Bai Yan.

Quan Yi successfully shifted Huo Wu's attention onto Teacher Bai Yan.

Huo Wu pressed a hand against her chin, lowered her head, and thought for a while before speaking.

"Teacher Bai Yan is very strong and still young. I have no objections to Teacher Bai Yan serving as our homeroom teacher."

What Huo Wu paid attention to was the teacher's strength.

A Soul Master at the Soul Ancestor level could even serve as the principal of an ordinary Junior Soul Master Academy.

For a Level 40 Soul Ancestor to serve as the homeroom teacher of a Primary Academy class, Huo Wu merely felt it was somewhat beneath her talents; she had no dissatisfaction.

"Mm, that's true. But didn't you notice any other details?"

"What details?"

Huo Wu widened her eyes and looked at Quan Yi in confusion.

"On the Training Ground, when the teacher called our names, she never once looked at a list or a note. She memorized all our names."

"What's so special about that? Our Class One only has a dozen or so students. You could memorize them in a few minutes."

Huo Wu felt Quan Yi was making a fuss over nothing.

"No, there's another point. During the self-introductions, Teacher Bai Yan immediately called out Wang Ying's name.

Even though today was the first time we met, the teacher had already matched all the students' faces and names."

Quan Yi told Huo Wu the details he had observed.

After hearing Quan Yi's analysis, Huo Wu also felt something was a little off.

"That's true. I only just realized it now. Could it be that the teacher has a very good memory?"

Quan Yi continued explaining, "Having a good memory and actually remembering are two different things. Just like having good talent and being strong are two different things.

If the teacher had not wanted to remember them, then she couldn't possibly have memorized all the students' faces and names at once.

This behavior from Teacher Bai Yan means she is a very responsible teacher."

Only then did Huo Wu understand the main point Quan Yi wanted to express.

This had nothing to do with whether her memory was good or not. It was a question of whether the teacher had put in the effort.

"You observed so carefully!" Huo Wu exclaimed.

This was not the first time Huo Wu had felt Quan Yi's attentiveness.

This tall, broad man who looked like a burly brute was actually more meticulous than anyone else.

"It's nothing. I just look a little more carefully than other people."

Praised by Huo Wu like that, Quan Yi scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Let's go. Today ended earlier than expected. If we go train now, there's still time."

Seeing that it was still early, Quan Yi invited Huo Wu to go train.

"Fine."

Meanwhile, in the classroom of Class One.

All the students had left the classroom, leaving only Teacher Bai Yan.

She was flipping through the blank sheets the students had handed in, one by one.

Bai Yan's expression was somewhat grave.

Power Attack System.

Power Attack System.

Power Attack System. Most of the students had written Power Attack System.

Only Huo Wu had written Control System, and a small number had written that they did not know.

Just as Quan Yi had analyzed, Bai Yan had indeed already memorized the names of every member of Class One. Not only that, she had also remembered every student's age and Martial Soul.

In her view, many of the students' Martial Souls were simply not suited to the Power Attack System.

Even if they were all Fire-attribute Spirit Masters, their development paths should differ according to the traits of their Martial Souls.

However, the immense power of the Fire attribute had already been carved deep into people's minds.

The dazzling flames had blinded everyone, causing most Fire-attribute Spirit Masters to develop toward the Power Attack System.

Therefore, it was perfectly normal for everyone to make such a choice.

But now the situation had changed, and Bai Yan needed to change the students' blind way of thinking.

This little survey was precisely to better understand the students' circumstances and lay the groundwork for her later teaching.

Bai Yan put the other blank sheets away and left the sheets with Quan Yi's and Huo Wu's names on them.

Bai Yan opened the papers. Control System and Power Attack System.

As for Quan Yi choosing Power Attack System, Bai Yan had no objections whatsoever.

Even if she had been the one choosing for him, she would have chosen Power Attack System too.

These two were peerless geniuses. Faced with these two, even the Blazing Fire Academy Dean would feel enormous pressure.

Let alone Bai Yan.

However, what was worth being happy about was that Quan Yi and Huo Wu seemed to have a very good relationship.

This would be of great help to her future teaching arrangements.

Bai Yan realized that these two would become the core of the future Blazing Fire Team.

One Control, one Power Attack—if these two could coordinate with and trust each other, the power they unleashed would surpass any other combination.

Therefore, she had even higher expectations for Quan Yi and Huo Wu.

"Heh!"

Thinking of this, Bai Yan suddenly smiled.

Fighting spirit ignited in her eyes. People with strong hearts could often turn pressure into motivation.

Bai Yan seemed to be that kind of person as well.

Bai Yan stared straight at the two blank sheets and murmured, "You two had better not disappoint me."
