Gu Yue: Can I Invite You to Stay in the Dorm Next Door? (Please Vote)

"Wulin, come with me!"

Upon hearing Long Hengxu's words, Wu Changkong called Tang Wulin over and headed to Yu Zhen's office.

"Teacher Wu, after deliberation by the Academy Board of Directors, they have partially approved your proposal to include Tang Wulin in Class Zero's assessment!"

Looking at Wu Changkong and Tang Wulin before him, Yu Zhen got straight to the point.

"Partially approved?"

Hearing Yu Zhen's words, both Wu Changkong and Tang Wulin were somewhat puzzled.

"Yes."

"Wulin, the board has decided to give you a one-year probationary period."

"During that year, you may enjoy the treatment and resources of Class Zero."

"With one year as the deadline, if you can become a Rank 3 Blacksmith while raising your Soul Power to Rank 15—"

"—you will be allowed to officially join Class Zero."

"If you fail, you will return to Class One."

"Also, once you choose to accept this probation, regardless of whether you can remain in Class Zero afterward, you must abide by the agreement."

"Unless you are admitted to Shrek Academy, you must remain at Eastsea Academy throughout the advanced division."

"If you have no objections, sign this agreement."

With a faint smile, Yu Zhen explained as he handed Tang Wulin a document.

"Thank you, Headmaster. Thank you, Teacher Wu!"

Tang Wulin bowed to Yu Zhen and Wu Changkong respectively, then signed the agreement in his hand without hesitation.

"Very good. Work hard, child. Don't disappoint Teacher Wu's expectations of you!"

Yu Zhen nodded slightly, offering Tang Wulin his congratulations and encouragement.

Soon, evening arrived.

Gu Yue, Zhao Tao, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin packed their luggage and moved into their new separate dormitory.

At that moment, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi had each chosen one of the two rooms on the left.

That left the four single rooms on the right for Zhao Tao and the others.

"Brother Tao, I want to live next door to you!"

"Brother Tao, I want to live beside you too!"

Looking at the four rooms, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin both turned to Zhao Tao and spoke decisively.

"Wulin, Xie Xie, wait a moment. Ladies first—let Gu Yue choose first!"

Zhao Tao smiled slightly, cutting off Xie Xie and Tang Wulin before looking toward Gu Yue.

"Alright, then I'll take the room on the far right. It'll be quieter."

"Also, Zhao Tao, may I invite you to stay in the room to my left?"

Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Gu Yue gave him a dazzling smile.

"Of course. It would be my honor!"

"Wulin, Xie Xie, you can decide between yourselves who gets the remaining two rooms in the middle."

Zhao Tao smiled and nodded. He proactively carried Gu Yue's luggage into her room and helped her clean it up a little.

"Xie Xie, there's only one room left next to Brother Tao. You should take the room closer to Zhang Yangzi!"

Seeing Zhao Tao enter Gu Yue's room, Tang Wulin stared firmly at the room Zhao Tao had chosen, looking as determined as if he were about to join a political party.

"Wulin, I can yield to you in other matters, but Brother Tao is my idol. I can't back down on this!"

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Xie Xie refused to yield even an inch, and the two began arguing.

For a moment, the atmosphere between them became tense, as if swords were about to be drawn.

"Wulin, Xie Xie, stop arguing."

"Teammates should value harmony. Don't fight among yourselves."

"I have a suggestion. Why don't you switch rooms every six months?"

"As for who gets to choose first, settle it with rock-paper-scissors!"

Just then, Zhao Tao emerged from Gu Yue's room.

Seeing Tang Wulin and Xie Xie arguing, Zhao Tao hurried over to stop them.

"Brother Tao, you're right!"

"Exactly! Brother Tao really is something. How didn't we think of that?"

Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie both nodded, praising his wisdom.

In the end, Tang Wulin won the game of rock-paper-scissors and got his wish of moving into the room beside Zhao Tao.

Soon, the next morning arrived.

The second lesson since Class Zero's establishment began.

To better understand the students' circumstances, before class began, Wu Changkong brought Class Zero's six students to a silver room.

The room looked highly technological, filled with all kinds of instruments.

"For Soul Masters, Soul Power is certainly the most important thing, but Spiritual Power and Bloodline Power are equally important!"

"Today, I'll test your Spiritual Power and strength so that I can conduct targeted training afterward!"

Wu Changkong held a notebook in his hand, ready to record the results.

"Wang Jinxi, you first."

Following Wu Changkong's instructions, Wang Jinxi sat before the designated Spiritual Power testing device and put on a silver helmet.

"Spiritual Power: eighteen points."

"This Spiritual Power is far too low."

"You must find a way to raise your Spiritual Power to one hundred points and reach the Spirit Connection Realm before breaking through to Soul Elder."

"Otherwise, your next Soul Spirit will be unable to fuse with a Thousand-Year Spirit Soul, and you won't be able to pass Shrek Academy's assessment either."

Looking at the test result, Wu Changkong frowned, his voice stern.

"Yes, Teacher Wu. I'll definitely work hard!"

Hearing Wu Changkong's words, Wang Jinxi nodded firmly.

Clearly, he also understood that his Spiritual Power was a weakness.

"Mm. In the academy's future resource allocation, I'll prioritize giving you some spiritual treasures that can improve your Spiritual Power."

"If you come from a Soul Master family, it would be best to draw upon your family's resources and try to reach the Spirit Connection Realm within two and a half years."

"Next, Xie Xie!"

After giving Wang Jinxi some highly practical advice, Wu Changkong began testing Xie Xie's Spiritual Power.

Compared to Wang Jinxi, Xie Xie's Spiritual Power was clearly much higher, reaching thirty-two points.

However, Wu Changkong still frowned at this result!

Clearly, compared to the requirements of the Spirit Connection Realm, Xie Xie's Spiritual Power was also a weakness!

After that, Zhang Yangzi and Tang Wulin underwent Spiritual Power examinations as well.

The test showed that Zhang Yangzi's Spiritual Power had reached forty-two points, while Tang Wulin's was even higher, at sixty-six points.

Seeing those results, Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi, and Zhang Yangzi all wore ashamed expressions.

They had never expected that the three of them, Soul Grandmasters, would have lower Spiritual Power than Tang Wulin, whose cultivation was only at the Soul Master level and whose Martial Soul was merely Blue Silver Grass!

"Zhao Tao, come test your Spiritual Power too!"

At that moment, Wu Changkong calmly called Zhao Tao's name.

Zhao Tao strode forward to the instrument.

Beep beep!

As the device activated, numbers began appearing on the display beside the Spiritual Power tester, climbing without pause.

"Brother Tao has a Thousand-Year Spirit Soul. His Spiritual Power must have reached the Spirit Connection Realm. I just wonder how powerful it really is!"

Their eyes shining with admiration, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie stared curiously at the numbers on the display, wanting to know just how strong Zhao Tao's Spiritual Power was.

Even Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi were staring fixedly at the screen, not daring to blink.

Only Gu Yue remained calm, her violet eyes glimmering faintly as though she were contemplating something.
