Skywater Dean Fell into Deep Thought: "How Exactly Did This Guy Absorb His Soul Rings?"

A golden Endless Blade with white edges on both sides appeared in his palm. Two purple and two black Soul Rings floated beneath his feet, their radiance illuminating the entire dean's office—and nearly blinding her titanium-alloy dog eyes.

"Level 49 Soul Power, with two purple and two black Soul Rings..."

Shui Bingyue's eyelids twitched. Even as a formidable woman who had seen her share of grand spectacles, she felt a shudder of shock upon witnessing such a world-shaking configuration firsthand. "Wait... the energy fluctuations from your Soul Rings—their ages... how can they follow a pattern?"

"Three thousand years, eight thousand years... thirty thousand years, eighty thousand years... this...?"

After realizing that the age energy contained in Chen Yue's released Soul Rings followed a certain pattern, Shui Bingyue went numb. "You... how did you do this?"

Chen Yue did not answer her question. He felt that things might go terribly wrong if this continued, so he immediately withdrew his martial soul and Soul Rings. "Dean, can I complete the employment procedures now?"

"Yes!"

Once Shui Bingyue came to her senses, she realized how presumptuous her earlier question had been. Gu Qinghan had specially recruited Chen Yue into Heavenly Water Academy precisely because of his Soul Ring ages and his martial soul cultivation. Asking that question now was practically trying to take away Chen Yue's livelihood, wasn't it?

No normal person would reveal something like that.

So... how exactly had this guy absorbed his Soul Rings?

Still filled with doubts, Shui Bingyue processed Chen Yue's employment paperwork. "You must wear this Teacher ID on your chest whenever you are in the academy. You must also carry your teacher identification with you at all times."

"This is your Dormitory Card. You must swipe it to enter the dormitory, and there are Soul Tool restrictions outside the door... Of course, aside from access control, this Dormitory Card can also be used as a Soul Communicator!"

A Soul Communicator was essentially a voice-calling device, like a walkie-talkie or a phone.

"As for the Dormitory Card's communication range... it is unrestricted within Skywater City. Once you leave Skywater City, though, it can only reach a little over three hundred in distance... Also, here is your class schedule."

There were Soul Tools during the Douluo 1 period, but they were not very advanced, and most were functional tools—such as storage bags used for daily life, rather than combat.

This Dormitory Card was supposedly an ID, but it was really just something resembling a bank card. Still, it did indeed carry a faint fluctuation of Soul Power.

"Now, you can go prepare for this afternoon's class!"

There was no surprise at all.

Although Chen Yue had displayed such an extraordinary Soul Ring configuration, Shui Bingyue still had some doubts about him. Being capable yourself did not mean you could teach others to become capable.

For example.

You might be a postdoctoral scholar from Tsinghua or Peking University, but that did not mean you could train others to become postdoctoral scholars from Tsinghua or Peking University.

You might understand it yourself, but that did not mean you could teach someone else to understand it.

Chen Yue glanced over the schedule. It covered an entire month, with different classes. Clearly, Shui Bingyue intended to cast a wide net and observe the results.

As long as even one student developed an extraordinary configuration, he would be considered qualified!

Chen Yue did not care in the slightest. After receiving all the relevant documents and materials, he put on his Teacher ID, left the dean's office, and returned to the dormitory.

"Hey, did someone new move in next door?"

"I heard he's a really handsome guy?"
