Enrolling at Eastsea Academy (Seeking Investment! Seeking Monthly Ticket! Seeking Recommendation Ticket!)

Eastsea Academy, the highest institution of learning in Eastsea City, was divided into a Middle Academy and an Advanced Academy. The Middle Academy was part of compulsory education and charged no tuition, while entry into the Advanced Academy required meeting certain conditions.

The Middle Academy accepted all school-age cadets from Eastsea City and its surrounding affiliated towns. As long as they had a recommendation letter from a Primary Academy, they could enroll unconditionally. The program lasted six years; upon graduating from the sixth year, those whose cultivation had reached Three Rings could advance to the Advanced Academy to continue their studies.

Tang Wulin stood outside the Dean's Office, watching the enthusiastic senior Liu Yuxin leave. He could not help sighing to himself that not all city people were bad.

"Excuse me, please move aside!"

Just then, a gentle voice came from behind him. Tang Wulin instinctively stepped to one side and said, "Oh! Sorry!"

He saw a boy around his age and could not help freezing. It was his first time seeing someone so good-looking, as though he had stepped right out of a painting. At last, he understood how others felt when they saw him. This boy was so handsome that even Tang Wulin, whose own looks were equally exceptional, could not help feeling a little envious.

The boy walked past Tang Wulin, his gaze lingering on him for several seconds before he left directly. From an angle Tang Wulin could not see, a trace of surprise and amusement flashed through the boy's beautiful eyes.

The boy was naturally Jing Shaoyu. He recognized Tang Wulin at a glance, because compared to three years ago, Tang Wulin's appearance had not changed much, making him easy to identify.

Tang Wulin's appearance meant that the story had begun. Jing Shaoyu was greatly looking forward to seeing what changes would occur in the plot now that he, an unexpected variable, had appeared.

However, he and Tang Wulin probably would not cross paths anytime soon. With his talent, he would undoubtedly be assigned to First Year Class One. Tang Wulin, on the other hand, would probably be assigned to Class Five even if he had not gotten into a fight. After all, his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass. Heh, a completely useless martial soul. Without the Gold Dragon King Essence, the highest he could reach in this life would be Titled Douluo—and that was only taking into account the possibility of those two old geezers hiding in the shadows helping him.

It was not that Jing Shaoyu looked down on Tang Wulin; he was merely stating an objective fact.

After refusing the advances of quite a few senior girls trying to rob the cradle along the way, Jing Shaoyu arrived at the Dormitory Building. His room was on the third floor, Room 301.

After squeezing through the crowd with some difficulty and reaching the third floor, he finally let out a sigh of relief. There were a bit too many people. If he had not wanted to avoid attracting too much attention, he would have released his martial soul and flown up long ago.

There were already people inside Room 301. When they saw Jing Shaoyu enter, they all instinctively stood up and looked at him with varying expressions.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Jing Shaoyu." Seeing his three roommates staring at him, Jing Shaoyu smiled amiably and introduced himself.

"Hello, hello. I'm Wei Dayong. Just call me Big Guy, hehe." A dark-skinned, powerfully built boy who was even slightly taller than Jing Shaoyu spoke. He looked honest and simple, with a bashful smile on his face. "Brother, you're really good-looking! You're prettier than the girls from my Primary Academy. I've never seen anyone as good-looking as you!"

Listening to Wei Dayong, Jing Shaoyu could not help feeling amused. This big dark fellow was a little dim, huh.

"Big Guy, can you stop embarrassing Wave Flower City?" The boy beside Wei Dayong had somewhat fairer skin, though not particularly pale. He was thin and looked rather shrewd. Somewhat annoyed, he patted Wei Dayong's arm before smiling at Jing Shaoyu. "Hello, my name is Duan Xiaopeng. Big Guy and I are fellow townsmen and classmates. We both graduated from Sea Wave Academy in Wave Flower City."

Seeing this rather classic pairing, Jing Shaoyu did not know what to say for a moment.

The last boy was also an acquaintance. He said in a strangely sarcastic yet smug tone, "My name is Wei Xiaofeng. Hmph, what use is being good-looking? Strength is what really matters! Let me tell you, I'm a Soul Grandmaster!"

Hearing Wei Xiaofeng's words, Wei Dayong and Duan Xiaopeng were greatly startled, and their gazes toward him gained a few more traces of respect. Becoming a Soul Grandmaster at nine was undoubtedly the mark of a genius! "Oh. I'll sleep here." Jing Shaoyu, however, merely responded indifferently before walking over to a lower bunk and beginning to unpack his things.

"You!" Jing Shaoyu's disregard greatly annoyed Wei Xiaofeng. He strode over and reached out to touch Jing Shaoyu's belongings, but Jing Shaoyu reacted quickly, instantly grabbing his hand. Then, under Wei Xiaofeng's astonished gaze, he exerted a slight force and pushed him aside.

Having been casually shoved away by Jing Shaoyu, Wei Xiaofeng felt deeply humiliated. He immediately wanted to step forward again and teach Jing Shaoyu a lesson, showing him who was boss in this dormitory.

"Hmm?" Jing Shaoyu frowned slightly at this, immediately straightened up, and quietly looked at Wei Xiaofeng.

An indescribable pressure emanated from Jing Shaoyu. Coupled with his height of over one and a half meters—he stood a full head taller than Wei Xiaofeng—his furrowed brows gave off an overwhelming sense of oppression. For no reason, fear arose in Wei Xiaofeng's heart. A voice seemed to be telling him that he could not win. It made him want to take a step back, but he also wanted to save face, so he could only grit his teeth and glare fiercely at Jing Shaoyu.

Just as the two were about to come to blows, the honest and simple Wei Dayong spoke up to stop them. "You two shouldn't fight. You'll be punished!"

"Hmph!" Wei Xiaofeng finally had an excuse. Going along with Wei Dayong's words, he snorted coldly. "You'd better watch yourself!"

"Sure!" Jing Shaoyu could not help laughing at such childish behavior. His broad grin, flashing a mouthful of white teeth, completely broke Wei Xiaofeng's composure, and he slammed the door as he stormed out.

Jing Shaoyu could not help shaking his head as he watched Wei Xiaofeng leave. Seeing Wei Xiaofeng angrily depart, Wei Dayong and Duan Xiaopeng looked at each other.

"Brother, you offended that Wei Xiaofeng. You'd better be careful from now on," Duan Xiaopeng kindly warned. "If he wasn't bragging and really has the strength of a Soul Grandmaster, that'll be troublesome."

"Don't worry." Jing Shaoyu felt a little warmth at Duan Xiaopeng's reminder. Although this kid looked rather shrewd, his heart was still in the right place. He smiled and said, "Actually, I'm a Soul Grandmaster too."

"Really?" Duan Xiaopeng stared at Jing Shaoyu in disbelief.

"No way, there are actually two Soul Grand Masters in our dorm? Good heavens, Xiaopeng, what kind of dumb luck did we stumble into?" Wei Dayong exclaimed.

"Get lost! You're the one who stumbled into dumb luck!" Duan Xiaopeng immediately laughed and cursed upon hearing Wei Dayong's words.

Watching this pair of close friends, Jing Shaoyu's mood improved considerably. At the same time, however, the atmosphere in Room 205 downstairs was far less pleasant.

"Bang—" A burst of noisy commotion erupted from the second floor, causing quite a few people upstairs and downstairs to stick their heads out. Duan Xiaopeng and Wei Dayong were no exception.

"They're fighting, they're fighting!" Wei Dayong shouted in his booming voice. "The dorm downstairs is fighting!"

Jing Shaoyu had already made his bed. Hearing Wei Dayong's shout, he felt amused. Sure enough, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie had started fighting. With the mindset of watching a show, he stepped into the corridor and witnessed a classic scene.

"Why are all you city people so awful?!"

Tang Wulin's furious, grief-stricken voice rang out. Then a boy came flying out and was embedded directly into the hallway wall. The sight made many onlookers swallow hard.

The boy embedded in the wall was undoubtedly Xie Xie, who appeared cold and arrogant but was actually a goofball. Tsk, tsk. No wonder Xie Xie became such a goofball later on. Being embedded in a wall on the first day of school was an instant social death, all right? How could he possibly still act cool after that?

"What incredible strength!" Duan Xiaopeng exclaimed. "Big Guy, could you send someone flying and embed them in a wall like that?"

"Can't do it!" Wei Dayong shook his head in reply. Wei Dayong's martial soul was the Giant Strength Walrus, a martial soul renowned for its power and especially adept at aquatic combat.

"Fine." Duan Xiaopeng nodded in disappointment before saying, "I wonder what martial soul that guy who attacked has. How could he have such tremendous strength? It's terrifying! Power-type Assault Type soul masters are the worst!"

Duan Xiaopeng's martial soul was the Sea Dongqing, a martial soul skilled in speed, with a nimble and agile body. Comparatively speaking, he was countered by power-type Assault Type soul masters.

Tang Wulin and the others were soon sent to the disciplinary office, and the other spectators naturally dispersed as well.
