Behind Su Yu stood quite a few students and parents.

When they saw Su Yu's Soul Ring Combination, every one of them was shocked.

Soul Elder!

Thousand Year Second Ring!

No matter where it was, that was an utterly explosive sight.

"Teacher, am I qualified to join the academy like this?" Su Yu asked with a smile, holding the Blue Silver Grass in his hand.

Only then did the teacher in charge come back to his senses. He nodded excitedly. "Of course. I'll register you right away."

As he spoke, the teacher began asking Su Yu about his circumstances.

"Name?"

"Su Yu."

"Which department are you applying for?"

"The Martial Soul Department. Oh, right, Teacher, my family is poor, and I never had any exposure to Soul Tools before. But I'm genuinely interested in Soul Tools and want to enter the Soul Tool Department.

I heard that it's possible to transfer departments later. I also heard that even Martial Soul Department students can borrow materials related to Soul Tools.

Is that true?

Also, I heard that some Soul Engineer courses at the academy can be audited by Martial Soul Department students as well."

The teacher looked up at Su Yu, his face showing approval, as though it were saying, Soul Tools are the strongest after all. You've got good taste, kid!

This teacher was especially patient with Su Yu, who loved Soul Tools.

He was so gifted in Soul Master cultivation. What if he also had talent with Soul Tools?

"You did your research thoroughly, and yes, that's correct. New students have one chance to change departments after enrolling.

The requirement over the years has been either obtaining the certification badge of a First-Level Soul Engineer or mastering the theoretical knowledge of a Second-Level Soul Engineer and passing the academy's assessment.

There are still two months left. If you work hard, there's still hope of mastering the theoretical knowledge.

Ask the teacher handling enrollment procedures about the other details later. I'll register your information first."

Only then did he continue asking Su Yu for the rest of his information.

"What is your Soul Power Level?"

"Level Thirty-Three."

Level Thirty-Three!

Not Level Thirty-One just after breaking through, either.

The teacher in charge was deeply shaken.

Twelve Years Old, Level Thirty-Three!

Many Soul Masters in the Sun Moon Empire used supplementary medicines in their cultivation.

This was even more common at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

However, those who could afford medicinal assistance for cultivation were all nobles. Their families needed at least a Soul Engineer above Level Five to afford such support.

Based on Su Yu's description of his family circumstances, the solidity of his soul power, and his ability to absorb Soul Rings across levels, it was safe to say that he had cultivated all of that soul power himself.

To reach such a level at Twelve Years Old.

It was truly terrifying.

Even Shrek Academy might not have a genius of this caliber, right?

There might be Twelve-Year-Old Soul Elders, but a Twelve-Year-Old Soul Elder whose second ring was a thousand-year ring definitely did not exist!

And such a genius.

Had appeared at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy!

Moreover, he was incomparably eager to learn about Soul Tools!

The teacher immediately felt great.

He wrote the word "Core" in the upper-right corner of Su Yu's form.

"All right. Take your registration form and report to Dean Xu at the Martial Soul Department Office."

"Thank you, Teacher," Su Yu said gratefully.

New students normally did not need to report to a Vice Dean. Since this teacher had told him to seek out Dean Xu, it was clearly special treatment.

As for why Dean Xu was the Vice Dean

Su Yu still knew that the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was Jing Hongchen.

The Martial Soul Department Office!

Su Yu pressed the office buzzer. After a long while, someone finally came to open the door.

What met his eyes was a highly technological platform, covered with all kinds of rare metals, as well as metal pieces of various sizes carved into different shapes.

Uh.

Su Yu turned back to look at the office plaque, confirming that this was indeed the Martial Soul Department Office.

"What do you want?"

Su Yu could sense impatience in the tone of this Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department.

"Hello, Dean Xu. I'm one of this year's new students. The teacher handling registration asked me to bring this here and report to you."

Xu Kun suppressed the irritation in his heart and took the registration form. After glancing at it, his gaze immediately sharpened.

Soul Elder!

Thousand Year Second Ring.

Twelve Years Old!

"Still, for him to cultivate a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul so quickly..."

Xu Kun looked at the suspected Mutated Martial Soul noted on the form and decided to inspect it personally.

A powerful aura erupted from Xu Kun's body, and Su Yu's heart tightened.

Around Xu Kun floated eight Soul Rings: two yellow, two purple, and four black.

In an instant, Su Yu felt as though his body was about to be crushed. By instinct, he summoned his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

The moment the Blue Silver Grass appeared, the pressure on Su Yu eased considerably.

For Blue Silver Grass, abundant vitality also meant an awakened resilient will.

Even when Xu Kun raised the pressure of his soul power to the Level Forty standard, Su Yu still held on.

Xu Kun sensed it carefully and nodded. He was very satisfied with Su Yu's performance, and he had also obtained the answer he wanted.

"So that's it. A Mutated Martial Soul, and it mutated to possess the Life Attribute."

No wonder.

Hearing Xu Kun mutter to himself, Su Yu did not correct him.

His Blue Silver Grass was merely the most ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Everything it had now was achieved through its Soul Ring Combination.

However, there was no need to argue over something related to the secrets of his cultivation.

"Teacher, I'm actually interested in Soul Tools and want to transfer to the Soul Tool Department in two months.

But my previous circumstances didn't allow it. I've never come into contact with Soul Tools, nor have I studied anything related to them.

Do you think I still have a chance?"

Su Yu glanced at the Production Platform behind Xu Kun. Although Dean Xu was the Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department, he clearly still cultivated as a Soul Engineer as well. Saying this now should not displease him.

Sure enough, Xu Kun was not displeased that Su Yu, while standing in the Martial Soul Department Office, was talking about wanting to join the Soul Tool Department.

"How much do you know about Soul Tools?" Xu Kun asked.

"Basically nothing."

"In that case, what do you think a Soul Tool is?" Xu Kun changed the way he phrased the question.

Su Yu thought for a moment, organized his words, then said, "I think Soul Tools are a possibility for Soul Masters to go even further."

"Oh? Explain."

Xu Kun looked at Su Yu in surprise and raised a hand, signaling him to continue.

"Strength is the foundation.

Whether it is Martial Soul cultivation or Soul Engineer cultivation, both are pursuits of strength.

For now, let's not discuss which path is stronger when pursued alone.

But when the two are combined, they will definitely be the strongest.

Soul Master cultivation ultimately has limits, while Soul Tools can further increase a Soul Master's combat power after their cultivation reaches its limit.

Soul Tools can also display greater power in the hands of the strong.

There is another aspect as well. A Soul Master's Martial Soul limits the direction of their development, but Soul Tools can make up for that very well.

A Support System Soul Master who dreams of becoming an Assault System Soul Master can rely on Soul Tools to fulfill that dream."
