Class Nine, Class Monitor

After watching the show, Wu Xuan closed the window, returned to his bed, and began today's meditation.

Seeing how diligently Wu Xuan cultivated, Qian Gu Ming's competitive spirit was stirred as well. After shutting the door and hanging up the Do Not Disturb sign, he too began his cultivation for the day.

The sun rose and set, and time quietly slipped away.

When his cultivation ended, Wu Xuan slowly opened his dark eyes. Qian Gu Ming, across from him, had yet to finish cultivating. Curious, Wu Xuan released his Spiritual Power and sensed him for a moment.

"Twenty-second-level Soul Power. It seems to be a Fire Attribute Tool Martial Soul." Through the outward release of his Spiritual Power, Wu Xuan clearly sensed the fluctuations and aura of Soul Power within Qian Gu Ming's body.

"His cultivation isn't bad. He could rank among the best among the new students." Wu Xuan got out of bed, took a sip of tea, and commented.

Before he had finished his cup of tea, Qian Gu Ming opened his eyes as well.

Qian Gu Ming stretched and jumped down from his bed. "Ah! I'm starving. Wu Xuan, I know a barbecue place outside the east city gate that tastes pretty good. Want to go together?"

Pulling open the curtains, Wu Xuan realized that it was already dark outside. He smiled. "Sure. After cultivating for so long, I'm really hungry too."

With that, the two left the dormitory one after the other.

Standing downstairs, they saw that the entire new student dormitory building was brightly lit. Although each room was not large, they housed only two people. No matter how noisy it was outside, Wu Xuan and Qian Gu Ming had heard nothing while cultivating earlier, which showed just how good the dormitory's soundproofing was.

Inside the office on the third floor of the New Student Teaching Building.

A beautiful young female teacher, who appeared to be around thirty, sat behind her desk with a smug expression.

Two opened envelopes lay on her desk. One was lavishly decorated, while the other appeared rather ordinary.

The words "Xuan City" were embossed in bold, sweeping calligraphy on the more ordinary envelope.

Both the letter inside and an admission certificate bore the name Wu Xuan.

Name: Wu Xuan

Martial Soul: Wind Element Control

Soul Power: Level 34

Background: ...

The other envelope was a letter of recommendation from Nine Treasures City.

Name: Ning Tian

Martial Soul: Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda

Soul Power: Level 31

Background: ...

A faint smile hung on the female teacher's lips, lending her the distinctive charm of a woman her age.

"There are only four Soul Elders among the new students, and two of them have been assigned to my class. Zhou Yi, you old hag, let's see what you'll use to fight me this time. Heh heh!"

"Teacher Mu, you haven't gone back yet?" A young female teacher who appeared to be under thirty softly reminded her from the office doorway.

The Teacher Mu she addressed was Mu Jin, the homeroom teacher of Wu Xuan's New Student Class Nine.

"I'm leaving now." Mu Jin answered with a smile, locked away the letters, and walked out of the office.

In the blink of an eye, admissions had ended!

Today was the first official day of school for Shrek Academy's new students.

The dormitory's soundproofing was excellent, but it could not withstand a thousand students throughout the building moving around at once.

Wu Xuan and Qian Gu Ming, who had been sleeping soundly, opened their eyes at the same time.

After washing up, they changed into the white uniforms of first-year new students.

"Stop fussing with your hair. I already told you, charisma is something you're born with. You can't learn your brother's handsomeness!" Wu Xuan leaned against the doorway and teased.

"Damn it! Will it kill you not to talk?" Looking at Wu Xuan's tall figure, fair skin, and handsome features, Qian Gu Ming had to admit that some things were simply impossible to envy into existence.

After arriving at the cafeteria, the two quickly finished breakfast and hurried toward the New Student Teaching Building.

Before long, they arrived outside the classroom for New Student Class Nine.

At that moment, nearly every seat in the classroom was already occupied.

Qian Gu Ming looked inside from the doorway and said, "Wu Xuan, we're late. There aren't any seats left in the classroom."

Yawning, Wu Xuan walked into the classroom and casually said, "Aren't there still two empty seats in the corner? It's all the same wherever we sit."

As he spoke, Wu Xuan really did sit down in the corner by the window.

Seeing this, Qian Gu Ming sat beside Wu Xuan.

What Wu Xuan did not know was that from the moment he entered the classroom, at least ninety percent of the class had been watching the two of them.

Wu Xuan's handsome appearance accounted for part of it, but the bigger reason was everyone's amazement at their boldness. On the first day of school, they actually dared to arrive right on time. Weren't they afraid of misjudging the timing and being late?

Before their seats had even warmed up, a beautiful young female teacher walked onto the classroom podium.

When the teacher arrived, the discussion about Wu Xuan and Qian Gu Ming abruptly stopped. Students who could enter Shrek Academy naturally had enough sense to know what was appropriate.

Compared with that old hag Zhou from Class One, who liked to establish authority by expelling students who talked back, Mu Jin's teaching style was far gentler.

Mu Jin was very satisfied with everyone's behavior. Her calm gaze swept from left to right, and each person felt as though they had been watched by her. An invisible pressure immediately rose in everyone's hearts.

Naturally, Wu Xuan remained calm from beginning to end.

"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Mu Jin. Until the New Student Assessment three months from now, before you are reassigned to new classes, I will be your homeroom teacher. I know that you were carefully selected from countries across the continent. Among your peers, you can absolutely be called elites."

Upon hearing this, a hint of pride appeared in the eyes of most of the class, apart from the few students with steady temperaments.

If they had not possessed outstanding talent, how could they have entered Shrek Academy to study? The sense of superiority born from looking down on their peers since childhood was not so easily erased.

Then Mu Jin's tone changed.

"However, I must tell you this. Shrek Academy has never lacked geniuses. Every year, more than two-thirds of the new students are eliminated during the New Student Assessment. In other words, only one-third of you will be able to continue studying at the academy. All you can do is give it your all over these three months, improve yourselves, and strive to remain."

Looking at the grave expressions on the students' faces, Mu Jin knew that she had achieved her goal.

Mu Jin said, "Wu Xuan!"

"Here!" Wu Xuan slowly rose from his seat in the corner.

"I have reviewed the information you submitted upon admission. Among all of you, Wu Xuan has the highest cultivation. From now on, he will be the class monitor of New Student Class Nine. Shrek Academy has always placed the capable in positions of authority."

"Of course, the position of class monitor is subject to change. Whoever has the ability to defeat Wu Xuan may replace him. But I must tell you that Wu Xuan is a control-system Soul Elder. Before challenging him, you had best weigh your own capabilities."

"A Soul Elder?!"

The moment Mu Jin finished speaking, the spacious classroom, which had just been silent, erupted into commotion once more.

The way everyone looked at Wu Xuan changed instantly. No matter how inexperienced they were, they knew what it meant to become a Soul Elder before the age of twelve.

The female students in the class looked at Wu Xuan with admiration, while even the male students who had teased him earlier now regarded him with solemn respect.

Seeing several eager gazes, Wu Xuan curled his lip. Where did a few Soul Grandmasters who had only just broken through get the nerve to challenge him?

"Yes." Wu Xuan responded and sat back down. Since the homeroom teacher had already appointed him class monitor, he would not refuse her to her face. Besides, it was only for three months.

Ice silkworms were the lowest-level soul beasts on the Douluo Continent. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm merely had a high cultivation age and an immense accumulation of foundation; it was still rather useless by itself.

Furthermore, Huo Yuhao's physical condition in the original work was too poor. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sealed away all of its origin power, leaving the soul ring with only a few decades' worth of cultivation. That was why the range of Mental Detection Sharing was so limited. However, its range could increase later as the soul ring's cultivation age rose.

The three-hundred-year Twin-Eyed Giant in this story belongs to the category of top-tier soul beasts. Since it has "Twin-Eyed" in its name, it is logical for it to grant a soul skill similar to Mental Detection Sharing. After all, it is a top-tier soul beast.

Then there is the fact that the Twin-Eyed Giant's soul skill effect is somewhat underwhelming. Its detection ability can either be used on oneself or shared only with teammates; one must choose between the two. Its detection range also cannot increase afterward.

Finally!

Most Peerless Tang Sect fanfics either have the protagonist transmigrate into Huo Yuhao, or steal Huo Yuhao's opportunities and cripple him from the start. I wanted to write something different. He will not be finished off just because the protagonist torments him a little later on.

I will definitely write this book according to my own preferences. There will be no harem, likely two or three female leads. The outline is fairly clear, and I will do my best to finish it.
