Four Support Classes???

After returning to Shrek City, Xu Yanli did not rush to report back for duty. Instead, he first returned to Xiaoyao Pavilion to settle Gu Yuena in, as the current situation was not quite appropriate.

Xu Yanli actually felt that if he were to establish a school himself, it might not be a bad idea. After all, once he unified the world in the future, he would certainly need a power to replace the position of Shrek Academy.

So why shouldn't the school that replaces Shrek Academy be one founded by his own hands?

Xu Yanli sat at his desk, tapping his fingers against the surface as his thoughts sank deeper and deeper.

However, after pondering for a while, Xu Yanli went to the inner chamber to take a bath and change his clothes, emerging looking completely refreshed.

But upon further reflection, entering the academy was indeed necessary; after all, he could not guarantee that students poached from elsewhere in the future would remain loyal to his Xiaoyao Pavilion.

And the best way was to start from the children.

Xu Yanli tapped his fingers on the desk, suddenly thought of something, and signaled for the person waiting in his room to come over.

"Go, record everything I say, then transmit it to the branch in the Heaven Dou Empire," Xu Yanli said calmly.

The person waiting immediately took out a pen and a sheet of paper, signaling with his eyes for Xu Yanli to continue.

Xu Yanli looked at his practiced movements and paused. "You—actually, it's not much, no need to record it. Just tell the Xiaoyao Pavilion branch in the Heaven Dou Empire to awaken martial souls for commoners for free. But there is a requirement: once they awaken their martial souls, they must join our Xiaoyao Pavilion."

"Isn't that too coercive? Also, will the local nobles oppose it?" Kong Deming emerged from the side and asked, looking puzzled.

Xu Yanli shook his head. "At the same time, have them get the Xuanming Sect and the Body Sect to provide us with cover, mainly the Body Sect. Tell them that once we awaken a Body Martial Soul, we will send them to the Body Sect immediately."

"You want to ride the coattails of the Body Sect," Kong Deming realized.

Xu Yanli nodded, then continued with a smile, "Also, have Xiaoyao Pavilion start deploying primary and middle school departments—that is, primary schools for ages six to twelve, and middle schools for ages twelve to eighteen."

"Of course, if any of them wish to apply to other academies, that is naturally allowed. But at the same time, I have only one requirement: they must all sign an agreement that they can only come to our Xiaoyao Pavilion after graduation."

Xu Yanli's voice grew colder, until the final moment was filled with killing intent. "If they take our subsidies and are still unwilling to join Xiaoyao Pavilion, then kill them without mercy."

Xu Yanli stood up, brushed the dust off his body, walked over to the guard to look at what he had written, nodded, and patted him on the shoulder.

Then he headed toward the door, turning back as he reached it to say, "I'm going to Shrek Academy to report back. I'm off."

As Xu Yanli walked through the hall, he saw Jiang Nannan's mother tending to the flowers in his small garden.

Long Xiaoyao was sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea and wondering what he was thinking about.

Xu Yanli returned to Shrek Academy and headed to Yan Shaozhe's office.

"You're back. Was everything handled?" Yan Shaozhe asked, looking very gentle.

"It's handled. I've returned to report back," Xu Yanli said calmly.

"Very well, you can go straight back to your class to report. By the way, the freshman assessment is coming up soon," Yan Shaozhe said calmly. "Prepare yourself well."

Xu Yanli nodded, said thank you, and headed toward the dormitory. He bowed when he saw Mu En, then walked straight to his room.

"Big Brother is back! I've been keeping the room clean, hehe," Tang Ling said with a simple, honest smile.

Xu Yanli glanced at him, then took a Soul Coin from his storage Soul Tool without hesitation and placed it in Tang Ling's hand.

"Thank you for your help during this time," Xu Yanli said, nodded at him, pulled out a chair, and took out a book to read slowly.

Time passed peacefully, bit by bit, for about another month.

During this period, Xu Yanli slowly suppressed the evil fire for Ma Xiaotao once, but at the same time, he left some soul-control techniques within her martial soul.

For enemies who cannot be turned, there is naturally no need to show mercy; otherwise, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Meanwhile, Xu Yanli's cultivation had broken through to level 58 soul power during this time, and his soul power had quickly reached the mid-level of level 58.

Xu Yanli came to class a little earlier today.

"Class monitor, put these slips on every student's desk. Today, everyone needs to choose their respective cultivation paths," Mu Jin said softly.

Xu Yanli nodded, took the stack of papers, quickly distributed them to every student, and returned to his seat.

"Now, everyone listen to me. The freshman assessment is conducted in teams. The number of people won't be too large, about three people per team. After all, we can't have an auxiliary type fighting against a power attack type, right?" Mu Jin smiled and wrote the four categories—Power Attack, Auxiliary, Control, and Defense—on the blackboard.

"Currently, no students in our class have been eliminated; there are still 100 people, so we will have one person left over. Song Qinghan, you go to the Soul Tool Department," Mu Jin said after a moment of hesitation.

After speaking, she signaled for them to start writing on the slips in front of them, and once finished, she had Xu Yanli collect them.

While writing, Xu Yanli noticed that Xiao Xiao next to him seemed to be constantly peeking at his slip.

After Xu Yanli finished his own slip and handed the whole class's slips to Mu Jin, some time passed.

Mu Jin tapped the table lightly and said, "Students, come here. I will now announce the groupings."

"Group one: Xu Yanli, Xiao Xiao, Tang Ling."

"Group two: Wang Dong, ..."

It had to be said that Mu Jin's grouping was fair, and as for the members of Xu Yanli's group, they were chosen by Xu Yanli himself.

"Alright, that's it for today's class. Xiao Xiao, Xu Yanli, and Wang Dong—never mind, Tang Ling too—you all stay behind."

Mu Jin slowly took out their slips and let them come over to see for themselves.

"Auxiliary type, auxiliary type..." Mu Jin looked at them helplessly and said, "Tell me, why did you choose the auxiliary type?"

Xu Yanli was silent for a moment before saying, "Teacher, my martial soul is a healing type. Isn't the healing type part of the auxiliary type?"

The corners of Mu Jin's mouth twitched, clearly recalling how, at the beginning of the school year, Xu Yanli had defeated the third-year student known as the Eternal Defense, Xu Sanshi...

With that kind of strength, he was still a healing type???

"Fine, I won't argue about that one. What about you, Wang Dong?" Mu Jin said, looking somewhat helpless.
