Xu Jie ignored the warning look in the teacher's eyes. The light radiating from the Sun Martial Soul in his hand changed from warm to increasingly scorching. Seeing that Xu Jie had merely summoned his Martial Soul without using a soul skill, the admissions teacher did nothing to stop him and quietly watched his performance.
After all, he was only a Soul Master with barely more than a dozen levels. Even if he used a soul skill, he could be suppressed with a wave of the hand.
Seeing that the teacher did not stop him, Xu Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He raised the Martial Soul floating ten centimeters above his palm a little higher. There was no other reason—the Martial Soul in his hand was too hot.
As the temperature of Xu Jie's Sun Martial Soul rose, the admissions teacher's expression gradually ceased to be calm, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
The surrounding environment also grew hotter along with the temperature of Xu Jie's Martial Soul. Finally, when its temperature reached a certain point, the admissions teacher's expression changed. He exclaimed, "Ultimate Fire!"
Huo Yuhao froze. Hearing the teacher's words, he could not help but feel puzzled. What is Ultimate Fire? Just then, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice suddenly sounded. "Ultimate Fire is among the very best fire-attribute Soul Masters. People like that are geniuses among geniuses. But, little Yuhao, you don't need to be jealous. That ice Martial Soul I added to you may also have a chance to become Ultimate Ice in the future."
Huo Yuhao immediately understood what Sky Dream Ice Silkworm meant. He did not feel jealous in the slightest and could not help feeling happy for Xu Jie.
Hearing this, Xu Jie immediately stopped raising the temperature of his Sun Martial Soul. After withdrawing it, he looked at the teacher with a broad smile and asked, "Teacher, do I still need a recommendation letter now?"
The moment Xu Jie awakened his Martial Soul, he had discovered that it was different. His Sun Martial Soul was unlike the Sun Martial Soul of the Sun Moon Empire in the original work. His seemed to truly be a sun, unlike the Sun Martial Souls of the Sun Moon Empire in the original work, which still had to draw upon the power of the sun in the sky.
Yet when he summoned it normally, it was much like an ordinary Sun Martial Soul. Xu Jie had to deliberately control it before it could display the true power of the sun. (Here, the protagonist did not know that the Sun Moon Empire's royal Martial Soul was the sun. He believed the royal Martial Soul of the Sun Moon Empire was Xu Tianran's Purple Radiance Dragon of Annihilation.)
Otherwise, if a real sun actually appeared, this world would be destroyed in an instant. Although Xu Jie could currently release only an exceedingly tiny fraction of the sun's original power, even an infinitesimal fraction of a real sun's power was undoubtedly terrifyingly powerful to humans.
"No need." The admissions teacher was momentarily choked up and said nothing more. After all, anyone with an Ultimate Martial Soul was a genius among geniuses. Giving up such a genius over a few recommendation letters would undoubtedly be foolish.
With that thought, he smiled and pulled Xu Jie to his side. His earlier indifference was completely gone. He did not even make Xu Jie pay the registration fee, swiftly completing his enrollment in one go.
Holding the registration form in his hand, Xu Jie was somewhat dumbfounded. An Ultimate Fire already got this kind of treatment. If I revealed an Ultimate Light too, wouldn't I be admitted directly into the Sea God Pavilion?
Among the crowd still waiting in line behind them, someone became suddenly unhappy upon seeing what had happened up front and was just about to say something when an overwhelming aura abruptly descended. The crowd was suppressed so thoroughly that they could not even speak.
The admissions teacher said something to the upper-year student from the academy beside him, then prepared to pull Xu Jie into the campus. The student helping with admissions also understood the significance of Ultimate Fire. He gave Xu Jie an envious look before taking over the admissions work.
Xu Jie hurriedly grabbed Huo Yuhao. The admissions teacher glanced at Huo Yuhao, whom Xu Jie was holding, and frowned. Seeing this, Xu Jie immediately said, "This is my younger brother. We're orphans. I'll send him back out once I've made arrangements."
Upon hearing this, the admissions teacher was secretly delighted again. Orphans were good. Leading Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao into Shrek, he asked, "What is your brother's Soul Power Level?"
Hearing this, Xu Jie answered, "Only level thirteen."
The admissions teacher said nothing, merely frowning. Level thirteen Soul Power was indeed a little low. But for the sake of this Ultimate Fire, should he make an exception for his younger brother?
While pondering this, he led the two through the enrollment registration. With a teacher personally guiding them, everything was handled extremely quickly. Before long, Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao were standing beneath the white freshman dormitory building.
Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao watched in bewilderment as the admissions teacher spoke to the old man sunning himself beneath the dormitory building. After telling Xu Jie to send Huo Yuhao out early, he hurriedly left.
After hearing what the admissions teacher had said, the old man could not help developing a bit of interest in Xu Jie.
After receiving the dormitory key, Xu Jie had initially planned to put the white school uniforms in his hands into the dormitory first. But the moment he saw the three digits One Zero Eight on the key, he completely lost interest.
He had no desire to deal with That Tang Guy's mentally unstable daughter. So what if she was pretty? In his previous life, he had been the man who fought Zhang Wuji over Zhao Min. Besides, Wang Dong was only twelve now and still had a male body.
Actually, none of that was important. The main thing was to cherish life and stay away from PUA and mental illness.
Xu Jie took out an ancient-looking black ring, poured Soul Power into it, and stored both their luggage inside. Then he led Huo Yuhao toward the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy.
He had a Spatial Soul Tool, an heirloom left behind by Xu Jie's mother. It had quite a bit of space, thirty cubic meters in all. Before entering the academy, neither of them had ever used this Spatial Soul Tool.
Although the Sun Moon Continent had already collided with the Douluo Continent, and Spatial Soul Tools were no longer as precious as they had been ten thousand years ago, they were still not something everyone could possess. Two Soul Masters walking through the wilderness with a Spatial Soul Tool were like carrying a lantern into a toilet—courting death.
But now that they were within Shrek Academy, Xu Jie no longer had that concern.
Inside the teachers' office building of Shrek Academy,
The admissions teacher who had filled out Xu Jie's registration form earlier was sitting upright in a chair before a tea table. Behind the tea table sat a stern, imposing middle-aged man and an old man.
The admissions teacher recounted everything that had happened during the registration process.
"Zhong Sheng, are you sure that child named Xu Jie possesses an Ultimate Fire Martial Soul?" the middle-aged man asked.
"I'm sure." Zhong Sheng nodded firmly. Although he was only an ordinary teacher from the outer academy, he still had the discernment to identify Ultimate Fire.
"Mm..." The middle-aged man pondered for a moment before continuing, "That child named Xu Jie should not be from the Sun Moon Empire. His complexion does not match, and although the Sun Martial Soul of the Sun Moon Empire comes close to the ultimate,
it is not truly ultimate. Nor does it possess the ability you mentioned, to control the power of its Martial Soul. My opinion is that we should not give him special treatment for now. We can discuss it after he passes the freshman assessment.
As for his younger brother, give him the status of a specially admitted student. In any case, if he cannot pass the freshman assessment, it will all be for nothing."
"Let's do that." After hearing the proposed handling, the old man beside the middle-aged man nodded as well. He then took out a small white token engraved with a green monster and handed it to Zhong Sheng.
"Understood." Zhong Sheng reached out and accepted the token.
Any version of Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre is fine, but Zhao Min must be the Li Lianjie version. Mm, that settles it.
