I Am Bai Lu

Moreover, based on how Bai Lu had addressed Tang Yuehua earlier, Gu Ziyi confirmed that Bai Lu was not Bai Chenxiang's mother, but her aunt.

She was likely the daughter of Bai He, the Speed Clan's clan leader.

Only Bai He's daughter could be Tang Yuehua's elder female cousin.

It seemed Bai Chenxiang had taken after her father, which was why she resembled her aunt.

He just did not know whether Bai Chenxiang would still appear in the future because of his presence.

"Teacher, this is my registration fee!"

After Tang Yuehua and the other girl successfully registered, Gu Ziyi completed his registration as well.

"Teacher, are there many first-year students? Will we be divided into classes?"

As he handed over the registration fee, Gu Ziyi also asked the admissions teacher.

No matter how ordinary the academy here was, it was still a normal academy. Unlike Shrek Academy, whose admission requirements were not only strict but whose students were so few that there was no need to divide them into classes at all.

What normal academy did not divide its students into classes?

Unless it was forming an Academy Team, in which case age and rank divisions did not matter as much as whether one was suited for the team.

However, Intermediate Soul Master Academies generally did not form teams. That only happened at Advanced Soul Master Academies.

Because only Advanced Soul Master Academies were qualified to participate in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, held once every five years.

Before Shrek Academy joined Blue Tyrant Academy, it had only been an Intermediate Soul Master Academy and had not been qualified to compete at all.

"Probably not. Aside from the few who came to register today, there are only a little over thirty students who had previously expressed interest in joining our academy. There's no need to divide you into classes!"

The admissions teacher casually answered Gu Ziyi's question.

"Oh, alright. Thank you, Teacher!"

Gu Ziyi thanked him and then left the registration area.

He had asked because, if there were separate classes, he wanted to be in the same one as Tang Yuehua and the others.

Since there would be no class divisions, there was naturally no need to worry about it.

After leaving the registration area, Gu Ziyi headed for the dormitories.

This time, Gu Ziyi had been assigned a four-person dormitory. After taking a look, he found it quite decent.

Compared to the large dormitories for Work-Study Students at the Junior Soul Master Academy, where over twenty boys and girls lived together, this was much better.

Gu Ziyi then briefly got acquainted with the three other students in his dormitory.

Then the night passed without incident.

The next day, the first-year freshmen gathered on the training field.

There were thirty-eight freshmen in total.

"First, congratulations on becoming first-year students of Heaven Treasure Academy. I am your headmaster, Li Xing!"

"In the days ahead, I hope that all of you students..."

On the training field, Headmaster Li Xing went on and on about something. After listening to the opening, Gu Ziyi had no interest in hearing the rest.

He had not expected that he would have to endure this sort of torment even at an academy on Douluo Continent.

He remembered there had been nothing like this at Quicksand Academy!

Half an hour later, the headmaster's lecture finally ended.

Then their Form Teacher appeared. After introducing himself, he led them toward the classroom.

"This is our first-year classroom. Find your own seats, everyone!"

After bringing Gu Ziyi and the others into the classroom, Form Teacher Yang Hui told the students to find seats for themselves.

Hearing Form Teacher Yang Hui say that, Gu Ziyi's heart stirred slightly. Without drawing attention to himself, he moved toward Tang Yuehua and Bai Lu.

"Elder Sister, hurry over here. Let's sit here!"

At some point, Bai Lu had already reached the last row and claimed the two corner seats. After sitting by the window, she urged Tang Yuehua to come over.

She's really fast. As expected of a Soul Master from the Speed Clan!

Gu Ziyi silently praised her, then quickly took a seat in the last row as well, beside Tang Yuehua, though an aisle separated them.

Only after Gu Ziyi sat down did Tang Yuehua slowly walk over to the seat Bai Lu had saved for her.

Before sitting down, Tang Yuehua glanced at Gu Ziyi and immediately recognized him.

Wasn't this the boy who had stared at them like an idiot yesterday?

So he was one of this year's freshmen too!

"Hello, Tang Yuehua. My name is Gu Ziyi. We'll be classmates from now on!"

Seeing Tang Yuehua look over, Gu Ziyi smiled slightly and introduced himself.

"How do you know my name?"

Tang Yuehua was immediately somewhat surprised.

"..."

"I signed up right behind you yesterday, so I happened to hear it!"

Gu Ziyi said speechlessly. He had not expected them to have failed to notice he was behind them yesterday.

"Oh, oh, hello, Gu Ziyi!"

Tang Yuehua smiled awkwardly at his words.

"Since everyone has chosen their seats, let's start from the first row and introduce ourselves!"

"You there in front, you go first!"

Before Gu Ziyi and Tang Yuehua could say anything else, the Form Teacher at the podium spoke again, calling on the first boy in the first row to his left to introduce himself.

"Alright, Teacher!"

"My name is Wang Defa. I'm twelve years old, a Battle Soul Master. My martial soul is the Tool Martial Soul, Beast Eating Flower, and my Soul Power Level is 15!"

"My name is Zhang Wuniu. I'm twelve years old, a Battle Soul Master. My martial soul is the Beast Martial Soul, Wind Mane Horse, and my Soul Power Level is 11!"

"My name is Lai Zixuan..."

And so, the students in the class began introducing themselves. They mainly described their basic circumstances, while only a few mentioned their personalities and hobbies.

Only a few of the more proud students revealed their Innate Soul Power. The others did not mention it.

Very soon, it was Gu Ziyi's turn, third from last.

"I'm Gu Ziyi, twelve years old, an Auxiliary Soul Master. My martial soul is the Tool Martial Soul, talismans, and my Soul Power Level is 12!"

Gu Ziyi merely gave a simple introduction of himself.

As for his Soul Power Level, Gu Ziyi had only broken through to level 12 a few days ago.

Most of the students in the class were below level 15. A small number were level 17 or 18, while there were not yet any Soul Grandmasters above level 20.

There were even two below level 10—one at level 8 and one at level 9! Compared to the future Shrek Academy, they truly did not amount to much. Quite a few of those eliminated by Shrek Academy were above level 20.

Thus, Heaven Treasure Academy was merely an ordinary Intermediate Soul Master Academy.

He had no idea why Tang Yuehua and Bai Lu had come here.

Next, it was Tang Yuehua's turn.

"I... I'm Tang Yuehua, twelve years old. My martial soul is the Ruyi Ring, and my Soul Power Level... is only 9!"

When introducing her Soul Power Level, Tang Yuehua's voice became rather soft again.

The students had actually noticed Tang Yuehua and Bai Lu long ago. Both girls were simply too beautiful, and their bearing was anything but ordinary.

Everyone had long been curious about them, so when they heard that Tang Yuehua's Soul Power was only level 9, they were greatly surprised, even though it was not the lowest in the class.

Bang—

Before everyone could continue being surprised, Bai Lu slapped the desk and stood up just as Tang Yuehua finished introducing herself, before she could sit down.

"My name is Bai Lu. I'm a level 22 Soul Grandmaster!"
