Shock, and More Shock!

"Uh... well..."

When Jiang Ming heard Zhou Yi say that, he immediately understood.

Although he had transmigrated from his previous life during high school—and as everyone knew, high school students were not allowed to date—so he did not have much experience in this area.

But Zhou Yi had already made it so obvious! If he still did not understand, then he would really be clueless!

To put it simply, Teacher Zhou was lonely.

Jiang Ming might never have eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run. He could still grasp that much.

"I don't care how your research on Soul Tools is going! If Fan Yu doesn't come home tonight, I'll expel you!"

Zhou Yi stood up and grabbed Jiang Ming's clothes with both hands, her face full of fierceness. But her own appearance was far too soft and beautiful, so the fierce expression on her face instead looked a little like she was acting spoiled.

Jiang Ming hurriedly raised both hands, making an obedient gesture of surrender.

"All right, Teacher Zhou. I'll definitely pass the message on to Teacher Fan Yu!"

In his heart, he respected Zhou Yi greatly. If not for Zhou Yi, perhaps he would still be worrying about how to sneak into the Soul Tool Department to sit in on lessons. There was no way he could have progressed so quickly in his Soul Tool cultivation like he was doing now!

Hearing Jiang Ming say this, Zhou Yi glared at him before finally letting go of his collar and sitting back down.

Afterward, Zhou Yi calmed her surging emotions, put on a stern face again, and resumed the posture of a strict teacher.

She looked at Jiang Ming and said in a deep voice, "You've been running to the Soul Tool Department whenever you have free time these days. You haven't fallen behind in your Soul Power cultivation, have you?"

Because of Jiang Ming's own interest, she had introduced Fan Yu to him. But Jiang Ming was, after all, a student of the Martial Soul Department, and she was also a teacher of the Martial Soul Department. She did not want Jiang Ming to put too much of his energy into Soul Tools.

One had to know that no matter how powerful Jiang Ming's talent for Soul Tools was, his Golden Heart Martial Soul was also a top-tier Martial Soul. Such a fine seedling absolutely could not be wasted!

Hearing Zhou Yi ask about this, Jiang Ming smiled and replied softly, "No, no. My Soul Power has increased by three levels over these three months!"

Zhou Yi shot up from her seat with a whoosh and looked at Jiang Ming in disbelief, nearly losing her composure!

"Three levels?! Your Soul Power increased by three levels in three months?!"

Zhou Yi knew that Jiang Ming was already at the Soul Elder level now!

If he were at the teens or even the twenties, and Jiang Ming had raised his Soul Power by three levels in three months, she could still understand it.

But at the Soul Elder level in the thirties, Soul Power did not improve that quickly. For an ordinary Soul Elder, being able to increase by two levels in three months already counted as extremely diligent cultivation, and that had to be someone with very strong talent!

But now, Jiang Ming had increased by three levels in three months! And that was while putting a great deal of time into cultivating as a Soul Engineer!

If Jiang Ming had put all his energy into Soul Power cultivation, how many levels could he have gained in these three months? Four levels, or even five?!

Zhou Yi could not help thinking this, and her whole mind went dazed from the shock.

Even as a teacher of Shrek Academy, the number one Soul Master Academy under the heavens, she had never seen such terrifying Soul Power cultivation speed!

She lightly rubbed her forehead, her chest rising and falling continuously. The emotions she had only just calmed began to fall into disorder again.

"Teacher Zhou, are you all right?"

To be honest, Jiang Ming more or less could not quite understand why Zhou Yi was shocked to this extent.

Increasing by three levels in three months was already a relatively slow speed for him.

One had to know that he meditated and cultivated every night. With the help of the Book of Spirits Martial Soul, his cultivation speed was doubled!

In other words, according to normal cultivation speed, he should only have increased his Soul Power by one and a half levels by now!

However, Soul Power cultivation at the Soul Elder level was indeed much more difficult than at the Soul Grandmaster level, so Jiang Ming could accept this rate of Soul Power increase.

Oh no, his Soul Power was already Level 41 now. From now on, it would be Soul Power cultivation at the Soul Ancestor level. Presumably, it would be even more difficult.

But he had also unlocked the fourth spirit in the Book of Spirits. In that case, he should still be able to maintain double cultivation speed!

Mm, pretty good!

On the other side, Zhou Yi finally recovered.

She looked at Jiang Ming with an extremely complicated gaze.

"I really don't know whether introducing you to Fan Yu helped you or harmed you."

Previously, although Zhou Yi knew that Jiang Ming's talent in the path of Martial Souls was very strong, she did not have a concrete idea of it.

But now, after learning that Jiang Ming had increased his Soul Power by three levels in three months, she began to feel somewhat regretful.

This kind of Martial Soul talent was too strong!

However, what was done was done, and this child Jiang Ming had no intention of giving up Soul Engineer cultivation either. They could only continue like this.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi could not help shaking her head and sighing.

Then, as if she had thought of something, her elegant brows immediately furrowed. Her eyes fixed firmly on Jiang Ming, and she asked in a somewhat urgent tone, "What level is your Soul Power now?!"

Jiang Ming's eyes shifted, then he smiled and playfully kept her in suspense.

"As for that, Teacher Zhou... I won't tell you for now. You'll naturally know in the future."

Just now, when he'd said he had risen three Soul Power Levels in three months, Teacher Zhou had nearly failed to catch her breath. If he told her outright that he was already at Level 41, wouldn't Teacher Zhou drop dead on the spot?

For the sake of Teacher Zhou's physical and mental health, Jiang Ming decided not to reveal his Soul Power Level for the time being.

In any case, there would be plenty of chances in the future.

Seeing Jiang Ming keep her in suspense, Zhou Yi also gave an exasperated smile.

"You, honestly. Still keeping me guessing? Forget it, forget it. It's better if you don't say it. If you did, I'm afraid this little heart of mine wouldn't be able to take it."

"All right, go find Fan Yu. Remember, if I don't see Fan Yu come home tonight, you'll be in for it during class tomorrow!"

Jiang Ming hurriedly nodded, turned, left the office, and headed toward the Soul Tool Department.

Inside the office, Zhou Yi watched Jiang Ming's departing back, as if she were seeing the birth of a future super powerhouse.

"With the talent to rise three levels in three months, maybe he can become someone like Xuan Zi!"

She murmured softly in her heart, placing high hopes on this once-in-a-thousand-years seedling she had encountered in her first year of teaching.

One had to know that Xuan Zi was Shrek Academy's strongest expert on the surface! He was a super existence above Level Ninety-Five!

"No, when he enrolled, Xiao Ming was able to face the pressure of my Soul King cultivation without his expression changing. Although a Body Martial Soul can greatly increase Body Strength, at the Soul Elder level, to do that, he would need to be at least mid-stage Soul Elder.

In other words, Xiao Ming already had at least Level 35 Soul Power back then! And if he rose three levels over these three months, that means Xiao Ming is now at least above Level 38!"

At this thought, Zhou Yi suddenly felt a wave of suffocation.

At this rate, Jiang Ming might even break through to the fortieth level and become a Soul Ancestor while still in the first year for new students!

And that was one of the requirements for graduating from the outer courtyard!

"Level 38... Level 38. Just what kind of monster is this child?!"

Zhou Yi's face flushed, and the surging emotions in her heart could not calm for a long, long time.
