A Little Scheme Called Fraud

A Little Scheme Called Fraud

The homeroom teacher of this genius class was none other than Qin Ming, a graduate of Shrek Academy.

At this moment, he could not help but feel curious about this so-called genius student who had been introduced with a recommendation letter from the Crown Prince.

Not long ago, he had led the Imperial Fighting Team through the Great Soul Arenas of cities across the Heaven Dou Empire, winning match after match. It had given him tremendous confidence.

"Student, introduce yourself to everyone first," Qin Ming said, clasping his hands behind his back and standing ramrod straight.

Shi Yueyi nodded, then addressed the students in the classroom. "My name is Shi Yueyi. I'm seven and a half years old. My martial soul is the human body, and my Soul Power Level is twenty-seven."

The students were all stunned, and even Qin Ming was no exception.

Previously, the Crown Prince had merely informed Heaven Dou Royal Academy, without giving any details regarding this "genius."

But now—seven years old, Soul Power Level twenty-seven!

At this moment, Shi Yueyi wore a high white ponytail that Qian Renxue had tied for her. Combined with the premature development brought about by her Body Martial Soul, she looked like she was already in her teens.

Since it was her first day at the academy, she had not changed into the school uniform. Instead, she wore an exquisite combat outfit.

Standing at the front of the classroom, the podium did nothing to hide her figure. Her slightly fitted clothing outlined youthful, flowing curves. As sunlight streamed in through the window, the girl in combat attire resembled an uncut jade stone. The qualities of "girl" and "warrior" blended perfectly within her.

As Qian Renxue had said, a girl should generously display her beauty, whether it was skin as smooth as jade or a smile as radiant as the morning sun.

The Crown Prince had even wanted to dress her little attendant in a lace-trimmed princess dress entirely unlike those worn by the women of Moonlight Pavilion, paired with short sheepskin boots.

Shi Yueyi had been so frightened that she repeatedly waved her hands. "Miss, Miss, I'm going to an academy twenty kilometers outside Heaven Dou City. Once I'm in there, I'll probably have to fight. You should keep those beautiful clothes at home. When I come back, you can wear them for me to see."

Qian Renxue had reluctantly agreed.

Thus, Shi Yueyi wore her usual smile, along with those captivating violet eyes like purple violets. The noble children in the classroom were left completely dazed by the sight.

Still, someone raised an objection. "Seven years old, Soul Power Level twenty-seven? Being pretty isn't a reason to make things up, is it?"

"Yeah, yeah. Even if you have Innate Full Soul Power, gaining seventeen levels in a year and a half is impossible unless you took some kind of medicine, right?"

"Besides, isn't our Heaven Dou-level genius class supposed to admit only those above level thirty?"

Qin Ming could not help saying, "Student Shi Yueyi, can you prove it to everyone?"

Hearing this, Shi Yueyi smiled at the teacher and gently nodded.

Two soul rings slowly emerged, one purple and the other purple as well.

"My martial soul is a little unusual. It's my own body." Shi Yueyi looked at the dumbfounded students, then tapped her chest. "It gives me relatively strong physical abilities, which is why I can have this kind of soul ring configuration."

Qin Ming was shocked as well! When had he ever seen someone whose first two soul rings were both purple?

He came from Shrek Academy, known as the monster academy, but his soul rings...

Forget it. I should still have one more thousand-year soul ring than her.

That was right. Qin Ming, who was currently still a Soul King, had a purple fifth soul ring.

Thinking of that, he could not help puffing out his chest a little more.

But if a genius like this could be sent to Shrek Academy...

She would not have to suffer in a dump like Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

"Homeroom teacher, is that enough?" Shi Yueyi blinked. She truly did not want to call Qin Ming "teacher."

"Ah, oh, yes, yes! More than enough!" Qin Ming came back to his senses and pointed at a seat. "Go take your seat first. There happens to be an empty spot there."

Shi Yueyi looked over and found that the desks were arranged in pairs. The students surrounding that empty seat were members of the Imperial Fighting Team, whose portraits she had seen on some of the academy's ranking boards.

And the person who would be sharing a desk with her was none other than Ye Lingling of the Nine Heart Begonia.

Of the Imperial Fighting Team's seven members, the captain and vice-captain shared a desk, the Shi Family Brothers shared one, and Ghost Leopard Osler sat with Wind Chime Bird Yu Feng. It was clear that, aside from Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, the others had likely been arranged according to their martial souls and attributes.

Ye Lingling appeared to have been isolated, though in truth, that was also related to her personality.

Shi Yueyi walked over to Ye Lingling, smiled and nodded in greeting, then sat down.

Although she had used her second soul skill not long ago, Shi Yueyi still had some Spiritual Power remaining. She lightly sensed the fluctuations from the students around her.

Based on her estimates and understanding, before reaching Soul Sage, soul masters from ten thousand years ago were generally about three to five levels stronger than soul masters ten thousand years later—assuming normal configurations.

At present, the Imperial Fighting Team members were roughly thirteen to fifteen years old, and she could vaguely sense that their Soul Power Levels were around thirty to thirty-one.

The story of the Shrek Seven Devils defeating the Imperial Fighting Team in a team battle had naturally been thoroughly recorded, so she knew that around five years later, their captain Yu Tianheng would reach level thirty-nine at about twenty years old.

That was a little ridiculous.

No wonder the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had mostly withdrawn from worldly affairs. Their heir had already become like this...

The morning lessons were mostly academic subjects, such as knowledge about soul beasts. Shi Yueyi already knew most of it, so she devoted part of her attention to circulating that cultivation technique and cultivating slowly.

Besides that, she unexpectedly discovered that there were one or two disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in this class.

Perhaps within a few days, Ning Fengzhi would hear about her situation?

Soon, afternoon arrived. Two-thirds of the afternoon schedule was for students to meditate in mimic cultivation environments, while the remaining third was for practical combat.

Shi Yueyi raised her right hand. A flicker of lightning flashed across it, indicating that she needed a lightning-attribute mimic environment. Thus, Qin Ming arranged for her to cultivate together with Yu Tianheng and two other Soul Elders who also possessed lightning attributes.

"Brother Yu, once cultivation ends, we'll have practical combat. I heard you guys went out again this time and won all the way through?" another lightning-attribute student said.

"Of course." Yu Tianheng answered proudly. "After all, we've truly been tempered in the spirit fighting arena. This kind of real combat experience isn't something you're born with."

Shi Yueyi went to her assigned seat and sat down quietly.

Meanwhile, Qin Ming, who was arranging the upcoming practical combat training class, got an idea.

He planned to have Shi Yueyi face Yu Tianheng, the strongest student in the class, right away. After Yu Tianheng defeated her, the young girl would surely feel a little sad and upset. Then he could launch a barrage of smooth talk and coax her into...

Ah, no, he meant guide her toward a better academy! That was the only way he, a Shrek graduate, could repay his alma mater for raising him!

What kind of dump was Heaven Dou Royal Academy? If not for the salary it paid its teachers, why would someone like him, who had grown used to being poor, ever come here?

When Yu Tianheng first appeared in the original text, he was around twenty years old and level 39. Since this was five years earlier, he had been set at fifteen years old and somewhere between levels 31 and 32, while the other Heaven Dou members had only just broken through to Soul Elder.

Therefore, taking advantage of their recent breakthrough, Qin Ming had taken them out for a trip to stabilize their cultivation and combat strength.
