An Unexpected Visitor

"Fifteen... little one, others usually bring me a surprise, but you've brought me a bomb..." Fan Yu tested the control panel repeatedly, terrified that he had made an error in the parameter adjustments.

However, the parameter panel displayed everything as normal; there were no issues with the Soul Power test data for Huo Yuhao.

"Zhou Yi, explain this to me clearly. What exactly is the origin of this kid's first soul ring? To jump from level ten to level fifteen in one go—don't tell me he absorbed a thousand-year soul ring?"

"A Dream Silkworm, an ultra-rare soul beast so precious it could rebuild the entire Spirit Soul Academy. You people who play with Soul Tools probably don't know much about it, but to give you an example: it's like a level-nine Soul Tool that even a level-one Soul Master could use at will, though using it carries the risk of having one's mind controlled."

Zhou Yi thought for a moment, trying to describe Huo Yuhao's situation in a way that Fan Yu could understand.

After hearing this, Fan Yu's eyes lit up. Beyond the talent of Innate Full Soul Power, he had actually obtained such a massive stroke of fortune... He could be certain that this child's future would be a broad, smooth path!

No wonder Zhou Yi was in such a rush to have him help with the testing; leaving such a genius in the ordinary division for even a second was a waste of talent.

He belonged with that group of monsters in the Unlimited Division!

Fan Yu looked at Huo Yuhao and Dong'er; these two children were truly one surprise after another.

"As for the tests on my end, both of you have passed with flying colors. Honestly, you two really gave me a shock. But... I'm also very happy. The Spirit Soul Academy has gained two more little monsters."

"However, I must give you a small warning. While the Unlimited Division is free, there are... plenty of demons and monsters there as well. You don't necessarily need to be on good terms with everyone, but at least don't make enemies easily."

Fan Yu gave the two children some instructions, then looked at Zhou Yi.

"I'll upload the official data directly. Just head to the Beast Fighting Arena for the second test; they'll be able to access it there."

"Fine." After a brief reply, Zhou Yi turned and left without looking back. Fan Yu had wanted to complain a bit more, but seeing her hurried demeanor, he could only sigh and suppress the unhappiness of being separated from his wife once again.

"Oh, right!"

Just as he turned back to continue tinkering with the equipment, Zhou Yi's voice suddenly called out from the doorway:

"If they both pass the test, I'm going to apply for a long vacation from the higher-ups."

After she said this, the testing ground fell silent, but as Fan Yu tinkered with the equipment, a faint, lingering smile played on his lips.

"Master... was Mistress here today?" Just then, a burly, bald boy approached Fan Yu. Although he was only twelve, his height was already about the same as Fan Yu's, perhaps even a bit taller.

"Yes, she brought two juniors over for the Unlimited Division test. As for the results... they were enough to give your mistress the confidence to apply for leave from the academy."

"That impressive?!" The boy looked astonished. It wasn't easy for a teacher at the Spirit Soul Academy to get leave; just how excellent must their test results be...

"One is thirteen, the other is fifteen, and they are both only six years old... Caitou, I remember when you came for your test at ten, you were only level seventeen."

"Right... at this rate, don't they both have the potential to break through to Soul Grand Master by age ten?" Caitou said while organizing his equipment.

"Hmm... I'm afraid they'd only be second to the records of those two super-monsters from Martial Soul Hall and the Spirit Fighting Empire."

"One reached level twenty-eight at ten, the other broke through to Soul Elder at ten... The bloodline of a divine beast is truly unreasonable."

"I originally wanted to tell you to be clever when picking your soul beasts, to choose some easy targets, but looking at it now... I suppose that's unnecessary." The sternness on Zhou Yi's face had weakened significantly. With Huo Yuhao and Dong'er's current Soul Power levels, they could probably survive for a day or two even in the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Forest.

The few big cats and small kittens kept in the Beast Fighting Arena for testing were nothing to fear; it was no different from being handed points.

So much so that Zhou Yi was already briefing them on the precautions for the Unlimited Division.

"Teacher, aren't you going to the Unlimited Division?" Dong'er suddenly asked while Zhou Yi was giving instructions.

"If I go there, what will happen to all these children here?" Zhou Yi replied as if it were obvious.

"I did teach in the Unlimited Division at the very beginning, but... you might not know this, my temperament isn't very good. I can at least restrain myself here, but back in the Unlimited Division, I really did injure quite a few students."

"The dean of instruction there and Fan Yu teamed up to send me to this ordinary division to 'cure' my temper, telling me to properly experience what true teaching and nurturing should look like. It's been over ten years now, more than double the time I spent there."

"I won't go back there again. It's more relaxing staying with you kids now; it's quite nice."

"Right, having said that, Fan Yu is still a teacher in the Soul Tool department of the Unlimited Division and knows quite a few people there. I'll go have a word with him later and have him find you a decent teacher."

As they spoke, the three of them had unknowingly reached the entrance of the Beast Fighting Arena. Just as Zhou Yi was about to give her final instructions, a girl suddenly ran over, panting heavily.

"Zhou... Teacher Zhou, I finally found you!"

"Li Na? Why did you run all the way here? Aren't you supposed to be in your cultivation class right now?" Zhou Yi frowned. Li Na was usually very well-behaved in class and wouldn't have run out for no reason.

"A big brother brought a group of people over, saying they wanted to... have a sparring match. They've all run off to the Spirit Fighting Arena!"

"Tsk..." Without a word, Zhou Yi scooped up Dong'er and Huo Yuhao, hoisted Li Na onto her back, and sprinted toward the Spirit Fighting Arena.

While flying, she didn't forget to curse: "What is the cultivation teacher doing? They couldn't even stop this?!"

"No... the teacher was knocked unconscious right at the start; he was the first one they charged at..." Li Na hurriedly explained. The moment she heard this, Zhou Yi's brows furrowed even tighter.

This meant that this group wasn't just other students looking for trouble; outsiders had infiltrated the academy!

"What is security doing?!" Zhou Yi cursed again, changing her choice of words, and increased her speed even further.

A minute later, Zhou Yi landed at the entrance of the Spirit Fighting Arena. After setting the three children down steadily, she kicked open the closed doors of the arena. Two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings shimmered brilliantly behind her.

Inside the arena, a group of students stood by, at a loss. On the other side, a man with strange markings on his forehead was followed by several ten-year-old children—some burly, others with unusually large hands and feet—waiting for something.

"Daring to cause trouble at the Spirit Soul Academy, do you not want to live anymore?!"

Zhou Yi roared, her fist instantly engulfed in a blazing flame as she flew toward the man with the strange markings.

But the man merely glanced back in Zhou Yi's direction, dodging her strike with what seemed like a casual turn.

"Don't be hasty, Teacher. I understand your anxious feelings, but please calm down. I have no intention of harming your students."

As he spoke, the man looked at the three children who had run over from the door.

The moment he saw Huo Yuhao, his face lit up with joy, and he pointed a finger at him.

"I am Lang Ya, from the Body Sect. I came here to see... this child."
