Mingde Hall Branch

Du Wilun opened the folder in his hand and read aloud, "The students who have become Shrek Outer Court core disciples are: Yue Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Lin Muxue, Lei Baiyu, Miao Chuyao..."

Lin Muxue and the other two had not yet submitted their withdrawal applications, so the academy did not know they were planning to jump to the Hongchen Family. Therefore, their names were on the list of core disciples.

When Du Wilun finished reading, the students who heard their names rejoiced, while those who didn't felt regret.

Du Wilun continued, "Considering that in the freshman assessment, there are still some freshmen who, despite lacking in talent and ability, have shown excellent performance, the academy has decided to grant them temporary core disciple treatment until the end of this academic year. If they can achieve a breakthrough in the promotion exam next year, they will be considered for promotion to official core disciples. The list is as follows: Huo Yuhao, Cui Yajie, Huang Chutian, Long Xiangyue, Nanmen Yun'er. That concludes the announcement."

After Du Wilun finished speaking, he did not linger and quickly moved aside, yielding his position.

Yan Shaozhe stood with a... although he wasn't sure if this was the right way to put it, she was indeed a sweet-looking girl who appeared very mature. However, since she could stand with Yan Shaozhe, her cultivation and status must be considerable. She should probably be described as a sweet-looking young woman.

Yan Shaozhe coughed twice, and the discussions among the first-year students instantly vanished without a trace.

Seeing that they had quieted down, he began to speak, "I'm sure everyone here knows me, so I won't introduce myself further. And standing beside me is the Dean of the Soul Engineering Department, Martial God Douluo Xian Lin'er.

I'm sure you're all curious why, on a day meant for the freshman assessment award ceremony, you seniors and the Soul Engineering Department were also called here. I'll let Dean Xian explain."

With that, Yan Shaozhe made a gesture of invitation.

Xian Lin'er gave him a look, took half a step forward, and her gentle yet authoritative voice rang out, "First, let me introduce to everyone, Teacher Wang Mingzhe, an eight-ring semi-Soul Engineer from Mingde Hall; Teacher Cen Xiao, a seven-ring Soul Engineer; Teacher Zhu Chongguang, a seven-ring Soul Engineer; Teacher Qi Helin, a seven-ring Soul Engineer; Teacher Yu Peijun, a six-ring Soul Engineer; Teacher Guo Jingxuan, a six-ring Soul Engineer; Teacher Han Qinghe, a six-ring Soul Engineer; Teacher Deng Wentao, a six-ring Soul Engineer; and Teacher Shao Qiouze, a six-ring Soul Engineer."

As Xian Lin'er announced each name, a person stepped up beside her. One semi-eight-ring, three seven-ring, and five six-ring, a total of nine high-level Soul Engineers. They were all middle-aged men and all from Mingde Hall, which led many students to speculate about what was about to happen.

Xian Lin'er paused for a moment before continuing, "I'm sure some of the clever students have already guessed a bit. That's right, starting today, Shrek Academy will officially begin its cooperation with Mingde Hall.

Shrek will establish a branch campus in Mingde Hall, and Mingde Hall will establish a branch hall at Shrek. Starting today, Shrek's Soul Engineering Department will be the Mingde Hall branch hall. Graduates from the Shrek branch campus can choose to participate in the Inner Court or Mingde Hall assessments, and similarly, graduates from the branch hall can participate in the Mingde Hall or Inner Court assessments..."

Xian Lin'er went on to explain several more points of attention, but each point was explained extremely concisely, without any delay.

The Shrek branch campus was officially being established. Once the academy was built, students from Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy with average Soul Engineer talent but exceptional Martial Souls would become the first batch of students for the branch campus.

On Shrek's side, the original Soul Engineering Department students automatically became students of the Mingde Hall branch hall.

After finishing all the necessary explanations, Xian Lin'er did not even glance at Yan Shaozhe and flew back towards the Sea God's Pavilion without looking back.

The teachers from Mingde Hall, led by the former Vice Dean of the Soul Engineering Department, Qian Duoduo, also headed towards the Soul Engineering Department.

Regarding Shrek's Soul Engineering Department, the teachers decided to rebuild it while also teaching.

Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo remained the Dean and Vice Dean of the branch hall, but Wang Mingzhe and Cen Xiao also became Dean and Vice Dean, a decision made by Jing Hongchen and Mu En the previous day.

The Shrek branch campus on the Sun Moon Continent would also adopt a dual-dean, dual-vice-dean system, distributing power to both sides.

Watching Xian Lin'er's retreating back, Yan Shaozhe gave a wry smile and shook his head, but he still had unfinished business.

After dismissing the students except for the first-years, Yan Shaozhe began to divide the freshmen into classes.

The entire first-year was divided into four classes. Class One was for Assault and Control Battle Soul Masters. Class Two was for Defense and Agility Battle Soul Masters. Class Three was for Support Battle Soul Masters. Class Four was for various special attribute Battle Soul Masters, including Food and Healing, as well as Tool Soul Masters.

Next, the homeroom teachers for each class were introduced. To everyone's surprise, Mu Jin became one of the homeroom teachers for Class One. Each class had two homeroom teachers. The other one was Wang Yan, the first assessment teacher Yue Hongchen had met.

Zhou Yi, seeing that she was assigned to Class Two as a homeroom teacher, was very dissatisfied. The champion of the freshman assessment was in her class, so why should Class One's homeroom teacher be Mu Jin?

After the dismissal, Zhou Yi did not go to her class but found Yan Shaozhe, wanting an explanation.

Yan Shaozhe was already overwhelmed with dealing with the school motto issues assigned by Mu En, which couldn't be directly changed or deleted, coupled with the cooperation with Mingde Hall. Zhou Yi's temper flared up and she began to question him, causing Yan Shaozhe to lose his temper, which was rare.

After scolding Zhou Yi fiercely, he kicked her out, telling her to find out about Yue Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's strength herself.

Zhou Yi, who was kicked out, angrily intended to find Fan Yu, but remembering Yan Shaozhe's words, she inquired about Yue Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's records on the way. This made her understand why Mu Jin was the homeroom teacher for Class One. The championship this year should not have normally belonged to Huo Yuhao and the others.

However, she still wanted to try. But to her surprise, Fan Yu's position was gone. He was now just an ordinary teacher in the branch hall. The current branch hall only had the positions of Dean and Vice Dean; all other positions had to be reselected.

Fan Yu told Zhou Yi to obediently follow the academy's arrangements for now. He couldn't apply for special privileges for Zhou Yi with the academy at the moment. After comforting Zhou Yi, he went to prepare for the re-examination for the position of Vice Dean of the Outer Court's Soul Engineering Department.

Meanwhile, after explaining the reasons to Mu Jin and Wang Yan, Yue Hongchen went to the Mingde Hall branch hall. The teachers from Mingde Hall still needed to discuss the construction and development of the branch hall with Yue Hongchen.

Although Yue Hongchen and Meng Hongchen missed their first class after the assessment, Mu Jin and Wang Yan still appointed them as class monitor and vice monitor. No one in Class One disagreed with this, as their strength was evident to all.

After leaving the branch hall, Yue Hongchen found Lin Muxue and the other two. She asked them to change their upcoming withdrawal applications to transfer applications. The reason for the transfer was simple: they were from the Hongchen Family, and now that the branch hall was established, they naturally had to study there.

After the three successfully transferred to the branch hall, only Xing Yueyao was still hesitating.
