"All right, Chen Yuan. Handle the registration procedures for your junior brothers first."

"Hehe, trying to cut in line? I've always been impartial."

"A feast at Shrek Restaurant!"

"Done! I'll handle yours first, no question about it!"

Taking the materials from one of the academy staff members in charge of registration, Chen Yuan skillfully filled in the information, then told them which forms they needed to fill out themselves and what they needed to keep in mind.

Then he waited for the three of them to finish.

As for the freshmen waiting in line, they were unaffected. After all, Chen Yuan had suddenly appeared, and no one had been lining up at his station.

After collecting the documents the three had filled out, Chen Yuan took three dormitory keys from the person in charge of dorm assignments and handed them over.

"Do you want me to arrange which classes you're assigned to?"

Shrek's freshman class assignments were entirely up to chance, but that didn't mean there was no room to maneuver.

In the original story, Huo Yuhao had barely finished registering when his class assignment came out, so Shrek was still quite efficient.

Although Chen Yuan couldn't designate which class they would be assigned to, he could ensure they weren't assigned to certain classes.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Chen Yuan was unwilling to let the plot change. Foreknowledge was his advantage, and there was no way he could give that up.

"Junior Brother, is there any class you want to join?"

"No, I'm fine with anything."

"Then let's leave it to chance."

"Bei Bei, are you sure? That lunatic Zhou Yi is teaching freshmen now."

Chen Yuan waved the detailed freshman homeroom teacher assignment list he had just obtained from someone, his expression strange as he looked at Bei Bei.

Hearing Chen Yuan's words, Bei Bei's expression darkened as well.

There was no other reason. Zhou Yi had suddenly come down from the upper grades to teach them when they were already third-years, and the result had been two third-year Core Disciples beating up an unethical teacher.

So if Huo Yuhao got assigned to Zhou Yi's class, he would have a hard time ahead of him.

Homeroom teachers could see the specially admitted students in their respective classes. Huo Yuhao had used a Tang Sect quota, so any normal person would know he was connected to Bei Bei.

"That old hag Zhou Yi is insane. Help assign Junior Brother to another class. You have to!"

Hearing Bei Bei say that, Huo Yuhao became very curious about the Zhou Yi the two seniors kept mentioning, but this wasn't a good time to ask.

This time, Chen Yuan didn't ask Bei Bei to treat him to a meal or anything. After all, he bore some responsibility in this matter, and he had been more than happy to keep Huo Yuhao out of Freshman Class One anyway.

Thus, thanks to Chen Yuan's interference, Zhou Yi and Huo Yuhao successfully said goodbye to each other.

He also arranged things for Ning Tian and Wu Feng, since he was still afraid that his interference would cause Ning Tian to spend the next three months in turmoil.

She was his sponsor! Of course he had to treat her well!

"I still have things to do here. Let Bei Bei take you to the dormitory."

"Mm. Thank you for taking care of us these past few days, Senior. As for the payment, I'll deliver it to you later."

"So, which dorm do you live in, Senior?"

The dignified young lady was uncharacteristically playful.

"I live in Dorm 316. If I'm not there, just give the things to the others in my dorm."

Chen Yuan had no intention of refusing. To him, that was money! Who would have nothing better to do than go against money?

Watching them leave, Chen Yuan took a meditation cushion from the Storage Soul Tool at his waist, sat down cross-legged, and began meditating.

Chen Yuan still gave Huo Yuhao Dorm 108, but who knew who his roommate would be this time?

Since Huo Yuhao had already left Freshman Class One, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong couldn't be left behind either.

It would also be a good chance to make things difficult for God King Tang.

Girls should properly live in the Female Dormitory! Only someone with water in their brain would let their own daughter disguise herself as a boy and stay in a dormitory, right?

To uphold Shrek Academy's school spirit, Chen Yuan felt that Wang Dong absolutely had to go to the Female Dormitory!

Wang Dong was probably arriving tomorrow. Chen Yuan would come early in the morning to block her, and he refused to believe she could still sneak into the Male Dormitory this time.

Honestly, Chen Yuan had always been rather curious about how Wang Dong had used the men's restroom for years while disguised as a boy in the original story without ever being discovered.

It wasn't until the afternoon, when the sun was nearly setting, that Chen Yuan finally stopped cultivating.

At this point, aside from a handful of freshmen, everyone still here was an upperclassman responsible for freshman registration.

Looking at the materials on the table, separated into several categories, Chen Yuan picked up one stack, preparing to hand it over to Du Weilun later.

This was Chen Yuan's task: single out all those who were already above level 20 when registering. After the Freshman Grand Tournament ended three months later, the Core Disciples would most likely emerge from among them.

Only most likely. Didn't Xie Huanyue, a three-ring Soul Elder, fail to become a Core Disciple at the beginning?

There weren't many students who entered the academy already above level 20. There had only been around a dozen today.

Quite a few freshmen were at Levels 18 and 19. Most of them would likely reach Soul Grandmaster before the Freshman Grand Tournament.

Core Disciples might emerge among them as well.

"Wait! Wait!"

Just then, a petite young girl came running over at full speed. She was so fast that she nearly failed to stop, and if Chen Yuan hadn't promptly released his Soul Power, she would have crashed into the table.

If that happened, this huge pile of documents would have needed to be sorted all over again.

Feeling a force of Soul Power support her, the girl finally opened her eyes and curiously examined the senior in front of her.

When she saw Chen Yuan's face, her little cheeks flushed red.

"Be more careful next time, little sister. Are you here to register too?"

Since she had made it here, unless she was a specially admitted student, it meant the girl before him had passed all the previous assessments.

"Y-yes, I'm here to register!"

The blush on the girl's face faded, replaced by determination.

"And I'm not a little sister. I'm already eleven!"

"Doesn't look like it."

Chen Yuan wasn't exaggerating. The girl in front of him really was too small, completely at odds with the growth patterns of the Douluo Continent.

Under the influence of Soul Power and Soul Rings, people on the Douluo Continent rapidly grew to adult size. Some individuals could even grow beyond 180 centimeters by the age of ten.

The girl before him was somewhat petite, though she was still much taller than girls her age on Blue Star.

"Forget it. Lots of people say that."

"Senior, registration is here, right? This is my letter of introduction."

Chen Yuan took the letter of introduction she handed over and checked it. Finding no issues, he tossed it into the trash.

Then Chen Yuan took out several registration forms and handed them to the girl, signaling for her to fill them out.

"Xiao Xiao, martial soul: Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. Level 19 Control System Soul Master."

Xiao Xiao?

He examined the girl more carefully.

Her petite, delicate figure, black hair tied in a side ponytail, and dark green eyes made for an especially pleasing sight. Her features were delicate and adorable, though she seemed somewhat shy.

She was level 19 now?

That made sense. She had been Level 22 during the Freshman Grand Tournament.

If she obtained a Soul Ring for her second martial soul in advance, she really could advance to Soul Grandmaster.

Whether it was the timing or anything else, it all matched.

Having confirmed that the girl before him was Xiao Xiao, Chen Yuan didn't know whether he should report her information.

Reporting it could save a Twin Martial Souls owner, and perhaps he could even earn a bonus, but there was no way to explain how he knew about it.
