Xu Kun nodded.

Su Yu's way of thinking was easy to understand, especially considering that he had been a conventional soul master up to this point and possessed a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with the Life Attribute.

It all came down to pursuing greater strength.

Combining Soul Tools with the soul master system offered a higher ceiling.

Moreover, even a clearly support-oriented Martial Soul like his could gain combat capability through Soul Tools.

"All right, I basically understand your situation now."

Xu Kun pressed a button on the desk, and a bald teacher soon entered the office.

"Dean Xu, what are your instructions?"

"Teacher Kong, this is one of this year's new students. Here are his files. Take him to complete his enrollment procedures."

"All right."

Kong Yue looked over Su Yu's registration form, then cast him a curious glance.

"Are you sure you want to try applying to the Soul Tool Department?"

"You've already proven your talent in Martial Soul cultivation. But your talent for Soul Tools is still unknown.

"If you don't have any aptitude in that area, you could waste a great deal of time and affect your future.

"If you simply want to use Soul Tools, our Martial Soul Department also offers related courses.

"Many students in the Martial Soul Department have Soul Tool Department students custom-make Soul Tools for them. Combat in the Martial Soul Department doesn't rely solely on Martial Soul power either; many assessments allow the use of Soul Tools."

Kong Yue was clearly a professional teacher and quickly laid out the pros and cons.

She also raised an important point: did Su Yu want to use Soul Tools in battle, or did he want to make them himself?

Su Yu did not hesitate in the slightest.

His cheat was his heaven-defying Comprehension.

How hard could learning about Soul Tools possibly be?

Besides, only Soul Tools he made himself would suit him best.

Su Yu insisted, so Kong Yue did not try to persuade him further and led him out of the Academic Affairs Office.

After giving it some thought, Xu Kun recorded Su Yu's information.

"This is the freshman dormitory for the Martial Soul Department.

"If you're successfully admitted into the Soul Tool Department, you can choose to change dormitories or continue living here.

"Also, the transfer assessment for the Soul Tool Department is held at the end of the first month after school begins.

"That should be about two months from now.

"Your records say you're a complete novice when it comes to Soul Tools. If you're genuinely interested in Soul Tools and insist on entering the Soul Tool Department,

"then I suggest focusing on theory first.

"Get in first, then worry about the rest.

"That's the academy library over there. It has textbooks for basic Soul Tool courses.

"I'll get you a Student Card shortly. Once you have it, you can visit the library and look up materials.

"And the cafeteria is over there."

Kong Yue methodically explained some basic information to Su Yu.

Su Yu: Mm-hmm, yeah, I understand. Thank you, Teacher.

Once all the procedures were finally complete, Su Yu took his Student Card to his dormitory, spread out the bedding he had prepared in advance, and arranged his various toiletries.

Everything at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was highly advanced.

The process of making Soul Tools available to ordinary people had already begun, and at the Sun Moon Soul Engineer Academy, which represented the highest level of Soul Tools, they had become widespread.

Everything was novel.

"The only problem is that these Soul Tools need to be charged manually."

The technology for Sealed Milk Bottles had not yet been achieved. Although these Soul Tools included Milk Bottles, the Soul Power within them constantly leaked away. Combined with the consumption from using the Soul Tools, they needed to be recharged quite frequently.

This was also the greatest obstacle to making Soul Tools accessible to ordinary people.

Su Yu's dormitory was a double room.

Strictly speaking, it was not yet time for enrollment. There was still a month to go.

Su Yu had enrolled early, so he did not have a roommate yet.

"First, I'll learn how to make Soul Tools and get into the Soul Tool Department."

Aside from his daily cultivation, Su Yu decided to slow down his other progress for now.

His life was very routine.

Every day, he went from the library to the cafeteria to the dormitory.

"Dean Xu, this is Su Yu's daily activity record."

Xu Kun looked at the report on his desk listing what Su Yu did each day, what he ate, and which materials he borrowed from the library.

"Dean, this is the report from the investigation into Su Yu's identity."

The teacher took out another report.

"Su Yu's identification documents were only just processed. The Sun Moon Empire has no records of him whatsoever.

"He entered Ming Capital alongside a merchant caravan from the Ten Thousand Household Building on the Star Luo Empire's side.

"He is most likely from the Star Luo Empire."

The teacher was Hesitating to Speak and did not continue.

Xu Kun raised a hand and said, "I know what you mean. I had my suspicions too. But Su Yu's talent is so exceptional. If it were you, would you send him to an enemy nation to serve as a spy?"

Su Yu's potential was enormous.

There was no doubt about that.

At the time, Xu Kun had felt that the quality of Su Yu's Martial Soul was already close to that of a top-tier Martial Soul, especially with the foundation laid by his first three soul rings.

He had a chance of becoming a Titled Douluo.

And Su Yu himself aspired to become a soul engineer, which would compensate for the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul's lack of combat power.

There was no reason for the Star Luo Empire to send such a genius to the Sun Moon Empire as an Undercover Agent.

Hearing Xu Kun say this, the teacher did not say anything further. His task was complete; the next decision was Xu Kun's to make.

After the teacher left, Xu Kun sat alone behind his desk, his fingers tapping against the tabletop as his gaze rested on Su Yu's files.

"Someone from the Star Luo Empire, the Ten Thousand Household Building..."

He then destroyed Su Yu's identity records.

The Ten Thousand Household Building was quite an interesting merchant association.

Xu Kun looked again at the record of Su Yu's studies.

"He really did start learning from scratch."

Although Su Yu learned somewhat quickly, his learning sequence truly built up a framework bit by bit.

Moreover, some of the materials he chose to borrow along the way contained errors or omissions, but he quickly adjusted course afterward.

Su Yu had no idea that all his actions and background had already been presented to Dean Xu in the form of reports.

Of course, even if he knew, he would not have cared.

There was no guilt in his heart, so what was there to fear?

"Soul Tools truly deserve to stand alongside soul master cultivation as another major system."

The more Su Yu studied materials on Soul Tools, the more deeply he felt this.

Soul Tools were indeed vast and profound.

Their most important aspect, the construction of Core Arrays, was itself a profound field of study.

Within a Core Array, every pattern held its own deeper meaning. They were interconnected and communicated with one another, producing an effect where one plus one was greater than two.

The challenge lay in connecting those patterns from beginning to end into a complete circuit.

This was simply—

"Far too interesting."

Su Yu had developed a deep interest in Soul Tools as well.

It was like solving a math problem. If you truly immersed yourself in it and had the ability to work it out, then the moment you found the answer, you would feel an incomparable sense of satisfaction.
