You're a Rank 4 Soul Engineer?!

Looking at the new students eating melon, who raised their heads when they saw her and seemed so startled they did not know what to do with the melon in their hands, Zhou Yi shot Jiang Ming, who was tallying up his earnings off to the side, a glare and said helplessly:

"Finish eating first. We'll talk after you're done."

Only then did the new students relax and happily continue eating their melon. As for those who had secretly tossed their melon into the nearby trash can the moment they saw the teacher arrive, when they heard her say that, they could not help standing on tiptoe to glance at the melon already in the bin, regret surging through their hearts.

Damn it, my hands moved too fast! That was one Silver Soul Coin each.

Clearly, even among Shrek Academy's new students, not everyone was that rich.

While the new students were eating melon, Zhou Yi walked up to Jiang Ming, so unsure what tone to use that she almost did not know how to speak.

Criticize him for selling melon during class? That did not seem right. After all, the school rules did not have anything about that.

Praise him? That seemed strange too.

Sigh, this little guy really knew how to make trouble!

Zhou Yi sighed inwardly, and in the end decided she should warn Jiang Ming a little. Otherwise, eating melon would easily delay her class time.

But before Zhou Yi could speak, Jiang Ming very considerately handed a slice of Ice Pattern Melon to her.

"Teacher, it's hot. Have some melon."

Looking at Jiang Ming's sincere eyes, Zhou Yi pressed her lips together and hesitated for a moment.

"Don't worry, Teacher. This slice is for you. No charge."

Jiang Ming explained.

Good grief. The moment those words came out, Zhou Yi could not hold it in anymore!

"Your teacher isn't so poor that she has to freeload food from a new student. How much? I'll pay!"

Zhou Yi directly took out a Gold Soul Coin and placed it in Jiang Ming's hand in annoyance, then ate the melon with perfect peace of mind, just like the new students.

Not to mention, this melon really was much tastier than ordinary melon!

Zhou Yi thought to herself as she ate.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming stared at the Gold Soul Coin in his hand, somewhat dazed.

This teacher felt like an even bigger sucker than that little beautiful lady with ice-blue hair! One Gold Soul Coin for one slice of melon.

A few minutes later, everyone had finished eating their melon.

After that, Zhou Yi gave them a little time to return to their dormitories and change clothes.

One hundred laps, thirty thousand meters of continuous running—even for these new students, who were already Soul Masters, it had still worn them out quite a bit. They would definitely be covered in sweat!

And returning to the classroom for lessons while reeking of sweat would definitely affect learning efficiency.

Of course, Jiang Ming was the exception among the new students.

After running one hundred laps, he basically had not sweated at all. He went straight back to the classroom, took out the Soul Tool book he had been reading earlier, and started reading again.

The other new students had all gone back to their dormitories to wash up and change, leaving only Zhou Yi and Jiang Ming in the classroom.

Seeing Jiang Ming take out that book about Soul Tools again, Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed. She walked to Jiang Ming's side and said softly:

"You're very interested in Soul Tools?"

Jiang Ming turned his head to glance at Zhou Yi, nodded, and said:

"Mm, I really am quite interested."

Hearing Jiang Ming's affirmative answer, Zhou Yi's expression shifted for a while, as if she had made some decision.

"Since you're so interested in Soul Tools, then after class later, come with me somewhere."

After saying this, Zhou Yi returned to the podium.

Jiang Ming, however, was a little confused. He did not understand what this sucker teacher, who looked sweet but had a violent temper, meant, so he could only continue devoting himself to the great undertaking of reading.

Actually, at his current level, reading books could no longer bring him much improvement. He needed to get hands-on and make things!

But the few failures from before had consumed a lot of the materials he had prepared. Although he had just recovered some funds, Jiang Ming was now much more cautious in this regard.

No matter how much money he had, he could not mess around recklessly. What was more, he was not even that rich.

Soon, the new students had all finished changing clothes and returned to the classroom refreshed.

Class officially began, and Jiang Ming also put down the book in his hands and listened attentively.

For this first lesson, Zhou Yi did not teach pure Martial Soul knowledge. Instead, she explained some of the influence Soul Tools had on Soul Masters, as well as the differences between Soul Engineers and Soul Masters.

Zhou Yi taught very well, giving Jiang Ming a clearer understanding of Soul Masters and Soul Engineers, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of both!

It was just that this teacher seemed to like slacking off a little.

After teaching some substantial content, she actually announced the end of class right away!

One had to know, there was still at least half an hour before the dismissal bell rang!

Although he had already seen from this teacher's various actions that she was not an ordinary teacher, this was still way too casual!

Inwardly, Jiang Ming silently labeled this teacher with tags such as sweet-looking, violent-tempered, sucker, and leaving work early.

After class, Zhou Yi directly led Jiang Ming out of the New Student Teaching Building and headed toward a building Jiang Ming was familiar with.

"Teacher Zhou, are we going to the Soul Tool Department?"

Jiang Ming could not help asking.

"Hmm? How did you know?"

Zhou Yi was a little surprised. Although the Soul Tool Department and the Martial Soul Department were in the same area, generally speaking, students from the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Tool Department basically never crossed paths.

Because this was the road I took last time I went to the Soul Tool Department.

Jiang Ming grumbled inwardly, then replied, "I came here once before."

Hearing that, Zhou Yi nodded and said, "It seems you really do like Soul Tools. Although your martial soul is a top-tier martial soul, if you can also make some achievements with Soul Tools, that will greatly improve your strength!"

Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department and Soul Tool Department had never really gotten along. This tradition seemed to have been passed down from the dean, and even the teachers of the Martial Soul Department were not fond of the Soul Tool Department.

But Zhou Yi was an exception, because her boyfriend was in the Soul Tool Department, and his status there was not low!

Jiang Ming did not know why Zhou Yi had brought him to the Soul Tool Department, but he kept following her until they entered the Soul Tool Department and he saw an extremely tall, powerfully built man.

When he heard Zhou Yi call this man Fan Yu, Jiang Ming frowned. He seemed to have heard that name somewhere before!

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ming suddenly realized. Wasn't Fan Yu the person Dorm Manager Grandpa had recommended to him before? Back then, Dorm Manager Grandpa had said that he could teach him!

And now... judging by the relationship between Teacher Zhou and this Fan Yu, could they be a couple?

Jiang Ming saw Zhou Yi pull Fan Yu aside and quietly say something to him. As they talked, Fan Yu's expression kept changing—shock, disbelief—and during that time, he even turned his head to look at Jiang Ming, his eyes filled with deep suspicion.

A few minutes later, the two finished their conversation. Fan Yu walked over to Jiang Ming, his deep gaze extremely grave.

"You're a Rank 4 Soul Engineer?!"
