Director Zhang in the Office

That afternoon, the students of Class One, Year Two lay in the small grove from noon until the sun was about to set.

Some fell asleep halfway through and woke to find that their Soul Power had unknowingly risen by a small amount. Others closed their eyes and daydreamed, only to suddenly figure out a cultivation problem that had troubled them for a long time.

Others simply lay on the soft grass, listening to the soothing melody drifting from Huo Yuhao's Soul Tool, feeling the exhaustion of the past half year slowly melt out from between their bones under the sun.

The entire class burst into laughter.

Their laughter drifted out from the grove, startling several birds returning to their nests. One of them circled once in midair after being startled, tilting its head as it looked down at the group of humans in confusion...

Shouldn't the losers be the ones lying flat? Weren't winners supposed to raise their arms and cheer?

It did not understand.

The setting sun leaned against the rooftop of the Martial Soul Department's office building at Shrek Academy, dyeing the entire exterior in a warm shade of orange.

Director of the Martial Soul Department, Zhang Lexuan. This plaque had only been replaced three days ago. The former director, Du Weilun, had already been transferred to Shrek
