Initial Acquaintance, Class Monitor Xue Nianbing

"Since everyone is new and unfamiliar with one another, we'll start with a simple round of introductions today, beginning with the first row."

Mu Jin said with a smile.

Very soon, the first boy in the first row stood up somewhat shyly, his face red as he said, "Hello, everyone. My name is Lin Feng, a Level 19 Agility Attack Battle Soul Master from the Star Luo Empire."

At eleven years old and Level 19, his talent was fairly good.

Everyone politely applauded.

Then, the next student began introducing herself.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Wang Jingjing, a Level 22 Control Battle Soul Master. I'm from..."

The students introduced themselves one after another.

Their talents were all quite good, with each student's Soul Power Level hovering around Level 20.

"Wu Feng, Level 24 Assault Battle Soul Master, from the Heaven Dou Empire."

The introduction of the red-haired girl, Wu Feng, made quite a few people repeatedly glance at her. Clearly, they had not expected her Soul Power Level to be so high.

However, they did not have long to be surprised.

After Wu Feng sat down, Ning Tian beside her stood up and said, "My name is Ning Tian, a Level 29 Support Artifact Soul Master from the Heaven Dou Empire."

As soon as she said this,

the entire class focused their gazes on Ning Tian, their faces filled with shock.

Level 29?

She was nearly a Level 30 Soul Elder!

"Hello, everyone. My name is..."

The students continued their introductions.

Xue Nianbing could clearly sense that Wang Dong beside him was somewhat nervous.

Perhaps Wang Dong had not expected that her Second Ring Great Soul Master cultivation was not particularly eye-catching in this class of one hundred.

Only her thousand-year second Soul Ring could make everyone take notice.

But how could she possibly release her Martial Soul during a mere introduction?

Very soon, it was Wang Dong's turn.

Wang Dong immediately stood up, straightened her back, and said in a firm, powerful voice, "Wang Dong, Level 21 Assault Battle Soul Master, from the Heaven Dou Empire."

After she finished speaking, no one showed much surprise.

This kind of Soul Power Level was common in Class Nine. Quite a few people were even stronger than Wang Dong.

Of course, Wang Dong's talent was absolutely top-tier. She was simply too lazy, allowing others to widen the gap.

Otherwise, Wang Dong would have at least reached the Third Ring Soul Elder level.

After Wang Dong sat down, Xue Nianbing rose to his feet and said calmly, "Xue Nianbing, Level 36 Assault Battle Soul Elder, from the Heaven Dou Empire."

He had casually made up a Soul Power Level. After all, reaching Level 40 without obtaining a Soul Ring would be rather unusual.

Even so, the entire class was stunned.

"Whoa!"

After a brief silence, the students of Class Nine erupted into an uproar.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng in front instantly turned around. Wang Dong on his left and Nanmen Yun'er on his right all stared at Xue Nianbing in disbelief.

"A Level 36 Soul Elder? His level is so high!"

"My god, he's already Level 36? He'll be Level 40 soon, won't he?"

"Another one from the Heaven Dou Empire... Does the Heaven Dou Empire have that many geniuses?"

"Hehe, he's so handsome."

"..."

Everyone discussed animatedly.

For a time, Xue Nianbing became the center of attention in the entire class.

"Level 36... He's actually already Level 36..." An unprecedented sense of urgency rose in Wang Dong's heart.

They were the same age. Although Xue Nianbing was a few months older than her, she was only Level 21 while he was already Level 36.

The gap between them was undeniably huge.

"No, I have to cultivate diligently, or Xue Nianbing will bully me again in the future!"

Wang Dong silently encouraged herself.

Her talent had never been inferior to anyone's. There were even few people on the continent with greater talent than hers.

She could not keep fooling around. She had to work hard.

"You must be Xue Nianbing?" Mu Jin looked at Xue Nianbing, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Teacher knows me?"

Xue Nianbing asked.

Mu Jin nodded and said with a smile, "Teacher has read your enrollment information. You're extremely outstanding. The academy hasn't seen a little monster like you in many years."

"You flatter me, Teacher."

Xue Nianbing smiled modestly.

Mu Jin continued smiling and waved a hand, signaling for him to sit down.

"My name is Nanmen Yun'er, Level 23 Agility Attack Battle Soul Master..."

The introductions continued, but none of the following students caused as much of a stir as Xue Nianbing had.

They were still reeling from the shock of Xue Nianbing's Level 36 cultivation.

They were the same age, separated by only a few months at most. Why were you so outstanding?

Shrek Academy truly was a place where monsters gathered.

"Ning Tian, his Soul Power Level is actually that high," Wu Feng whispered into Ning Tian's ear.

"Mm, very high."

Ning Tian nodded. Her peripheral vision could not help glancing back at Xue Nianbing behind her as she thought, He's the same age as me, yet he's already Level 36, and he's even a Power Attack System Soul Master...

As the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had to consider matters from a perspective of greater benefit.

Xue Nianbing's appearance, temperament, talent, Martial Soul type, and every other aspect truly matched the perfection she had hoped for.

She felt some fondness toward him, but it was more a fondness driven by interests.

"Ning Tian..."

Wu Feng seemed to have seen through Ning Tian's thoughts, and her mood could not help sinking.

Xue Nianbing's advantages completely crushed hers.

"No, I can't give up. He's only a Level 36 Soul Elder. If I work twice as hard, I'll definitely surpass him."

Wu Feng secretly decided that she would replace sleep with cultivation from now on.

She believed that diligence could make up for shortcomings.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Xu Kun, a Level 19 Artifact Soul Master from the Dou Ling Empire."

Very soon, the last student finished introducing himself.

Mu Jin stood before the podium with a faint smile on her face and said, "Now that everyone has introduced themselves, you have gained an initial understanding of one another."

"During your future studies and lives here, I hope you can get to know your fellow students even better."

"Besides introductions, there is one more matter today. We need to select a class monitor. When I'm absent, the class monitor's words will be my words."

"Is anyone willing to volunteer?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Jin's gaze fell on Xue Nianbing.

It was obvious that she wanted Xue Nianbing to serve as class monitor.

The class monitor did not necessarily have to be the strongest person, but the strongest person would certainly receive priority consideration.

"No one?"

Seeing that no one volunteered, Mu Jin took the initiative and asked, "Nianbing, would you be willing to serve as the class monitor of Class Nine?"

In an instant, everyone turned their gazes toward Xue Nianbing.

They had no objections to Teacher Mu Jin's choice.

Xue Nianbing pondered for a moment before finally smiling. "Thank you for your trust, Teacher. I'll fulfill my responsibilities as class monitor."

He was only a class monitor. There was nothing to fear.

Besides, managing a bunch of little brats was easy enough.

"Good. From now on, Xue Nianbing will be the class monitor of Class Nine. Ning Tian, you will serve as deputy class monitor."

Mu Jin smiled and nodded, then directly appointed the deputy class monitor.

"Mm, please guide me."

Ning Tian responded, then turned back and gave Xue Nianbing a slight nod.

Only then did Xue Nianbing get the chance to examine Ning Tian. She had neat, crisp golden short hair, large aqua-blue eyes, and long eyelashes.

Though she had a few small freckles on her cheeks, they did not detract from her lovely appearance in the slightest.

Ning Tian was quite pretty, the kind whose looks grew on one over time, with a temperament that carried resilience beneath its gentleness.
