Self-Introduction

Early the next morning, the Opening Ceremony was officially held on the field.

After Yu Zhen delivered a lengthy speech, Huo Yuhao heard a class assignment completely different from the original one.

"Now we will begin the Class Assignment Ceremony. Everyone knows that at Eastsea Academy, the lower the class number, the stronger the students usually are, though this is not absolute. We hope that those assigned to later classes can also strive through their own efforts and catch up. This year, there are a total of one hundred and ten new students, who will be divided into five classes. When I call your name, please step forward."

"Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena... Xie Xie, Class One."

"Tang Wulin... Class 2."

Huo Yuhao's gaze flickered as he looked at Tang Wulin, who walked out with an excited expression, along with the other students heading toward the Class 2 area.

The Soul Spirit Contract had ultimately brought different colors to this era. Many of them should never have had the chance to obtain a Century Soul Spirit, yet now they had different opportunities...

At that thought, a faint smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips.

Long Hengxu said, "Class Teachers, take your students back to their respective classrooms."

When Huo Yuhao saw the man walking toward them, his smile vanished, and his eyelid twitched.

So this was the surprise Tower Master Hua had mentioned—

Teacher Luo Yanglu?

Looking at the man he had grown familiar with recently, Huo Yuhao's expression was complicated.

But upon further thought, he was relieved. At least Hua Yichen had not come in person!

As he approached, Luo Yanglu noticed the strange expressions on Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena's faces. Smiling, he used Voice Transmission to speak to the two of them.

"You've probably both guessed it already. Eastsea Academy intends to establish a Special Class, and to that end, it has reached some Cooperation with our Spirit Pagoda. You two are reserved students."

"As for the Special Class Teacher, they had only reserved Wu Changkong from over there. He used to be a student of Shrek's Inner Court, but we can't rest easy handing you over to him. If you accidentally get lured away, there'd be nowhere to cry. So they sent me here first, to teach Class One and gain some experience."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that this is my first time teaching. At least I'm better than that Teacher over there whose Love-Obsessed Mind has taken over, right? If it weren't me, the Class Teacher of Class 2 would have been leading you. She might even have made you thoroughly slap Teacher Wu in the face."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Gu Yuena: "..."

There were five teachers in total. Including Luo Yanglu, there were three men and two women.

The two female teachers were in their twenties, young and beautiful, with somewhat similar features. They were sisters, named Ye Yingluo and Ye Yingrong.

One was the Class Teacher of Class 2, while the other was the Class Teacher of Class Three. Yet neither looked at her own students. Instead, they stared fixedly at Class 5's Class Teacher—Wu Changkong.

Unfortunately, Wu Changkong wore an expression that kept strangers at a distance. He did not look at them at all. He merely told his students, "Follow me," before turning and leaving.

This was clearly unrequited love. Gu Yuena could even see the irritation of "love turning to hate" in Ye Yingluo's eyes.

If they had really been assigned to Class 2, this woman might truly have done as Luo Yanglu thought and made them defeat Wu Changkong's students in retaliation...

They had encountered a Love-Obsessed Mind the moment they arrived. Gu Yuena suddenly felt Hua Yichen's earlier warning was not without reason.

If the teachers were all like this, could the students possibly turn out well?

Were all human academies like this? Neglecting proper business and thinking about romance all day?

Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao and suddenly understood why he had left behind those Ancestral Teachings.

Hm? The person beside him was yesterday's...

"I didn't expect us to be in the same class. My name is Xie Xie."

Xie Xie walked over to Huo Yuhao's side. Seeing him looking in the direction Wu Changkong had left, he said,

"I heard people say that he's Eastsea Academy's Cold Arrogant Male God. The girls in the Advanced Division and the Academy's female teachers all like him. Just look at those two female teachers' eyes and you'll know how popular he is... What, are you jealous? You're not bad yourself. That girl who was with you yesterday is looking at you."

Huo Yuhao turned to glance at Xie Xie, who looked stern yet spoke such nonsense. Then he glanced at Gu Yuena, who was looking over. "I'm Huo Yuhao. Gu Yuena and I are friends."

Friends? That couldn't be right, could it? That icy girl was friendly toward only one person. No matter how he looked at it, something was off.

Though he thought that, Xie Xie did not say it outright. Instead, he said, "Please take care of me from now on, genius of the Mecha Master Association. If you run into trouble later, come find me. I'll cover you."

He had been somewhat uncertain before, but after Huo Yuhao gave his name, he was sure. This was the genius his father had been constantly talking about lately. No wonder he had felt inexplicably familiar yesterday.

The Xie Family was an East Sea Mecha Family that took pride in becoming Mecha Masters, and it had a good relationship with the Mecha Master Association. Recently, his father had often droned on about a Peerless Genius who had appeared there. At such a young age, he had already become a Level 3 Designer and had helped his colleague design an exceptionally perfect blueprint. Xie Xie had grown tired of hearing it.

So what if the other party was far ahead in a Sub-profession?

As the owner of Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, Xie Xie had his own pride.

A Mecha Designer was different from a Manufacturer who inscribed soul-conducting Magic Arrays. There were no strict Soul Power requirements. When it came to cultivation, he would definitely be superior!

Huo Yuhao gave Xie Xie a strange look, then nodded.

"If there's a chance."

Xie Xie nodded faintly, secretly delighted.

That secret delight lasted until everyone returned to the classroom and began introducing themselves.

Luo Yanglu looked smilingly at the students below. "Hello, everyone. My name is Luo Yanglu, and I will be your Class Teacher from now on. Introduce yourselves in the order I call on you so I can learn about what you're good at and what your goals are."

"Student Xie Xie, you can start."

Xie Xie sat in the first row. At those words, he stood up and said proudly, "Xie Xie. Martial Soul: Light Dragon Dagger. Soul Power: Level Nineteen. My goal is to become an Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master."

His Soul Power Level of nineteen drew gasps from some of the students. At Eastsea Academy, anyone who could become a Soul Grandmaster before the age of twelve could be called a genius. Xie Xie exceeded that standard by far.

However, some people revealed disdainful looks.

After Xie Xie, more than a dozen students stood and introduced themselves. Their Soul Power was generally around Levels Fourteen and Fifteen.

Until...

"Wei Xiaofeng. Martial Soul: Green Shadow Snake. Soul Power: Level Twenty-two. Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master!"

Wei Xiaofeng enjoyed the gazes focused upon him. He glanced at Xie Xie, whose brows had instantly furrowed, and sneered inwardly.

He was the strongest genius in this class!

Because his First Soul Spirit, like his Martial Soul, was also a Green Shadow Snake, the feedback from the Soul Spirit Contract had made his early cultivation speed extremely fast. He was already no weaker than those top geniuses.

In his view, even students who entered Shrek Academy would only be this strong at the same age.

His future goal was even to enter Shrek Academy and ultimately become a Titled Douluo who could command the winds and clouds. He had already thought of his Title Douluo—Azure Shadow!

At that thought, Wei Xiaofeng's smile grew broader.

Then, his smile froze on his face.

"Gu Yuena. Martial Soul: Elementalist. Soul Power: Level Twenty-seven. Power Attack System Battle Soul Master."
