The early morning sunlight filtered into the dormitory through the cracks in the curtains. Tang Wulin opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for a long time.
This is his third day at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy.
Three days ago, Ling Hongchen personally sent him to this dormitory, personally went through the admission procedures for him, and personally told the dean to "take good care of this student."
The way the dean nodded and bowed made Tang Wulin feel that he was not a new student, but a treasure that needed to be raised.
He turned over and sat up from the bed. The golden scales on his right arm had completely faded and returned to normal skin color. The wound on his right leg had also completely healed, leaving no scars.
Gold of Life's strength far exceeded his imagination. The broken ribs, Tear's muscles, and damaged internal organs all grew back within half a month.
He even suspected that even if he only had one breath left, the green crystal would be able to bring him back from hell.
Tang Wulin stood up, walked to the window, and opened it. The morning breeze came in, bringing with it the coolness of early autumn. Ming Capital City in the distance gradually woke up in the morning light. There were many tall buildings, and soul guide cars were flowing on the street. Walking on the road, it is like long luminous rivers flowing slowly. This is the most prosperous city in Federation. The modernity of the steel forest forms a sharp contrast with the simplicity of Heaven Dou City.
Tang Wulin looked away, turned and walked to the bathroom. While washing, he looked in the mirror. The person in the mirror had a rosy face and was full of energy. It was completely unrecognizable that he was lying on the hospital bed covered in blood half a month ago.
He put on his school uniform and straightened his collar in the mirror. The dark blue uniform had the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy badge embroidered on the chest - a sun and a moon intertwined, with the shape of a book in the middle.
Tang Wulin patted his cheek, took a deep breath, and walked out of the dormitory.
The dormitory is not far from the teaching building, you can get there in ten minutes if you walk quickly.
He met many students along the way, some were in a hurry, and some were talking and laughing in small groups. They were wearing the same dark blue uniform as him, but the collar color was different.
Red is for first grade, blue is for second grade, purple is for third grade, and gold is for fourth grade.
His collar is red.
Tang Wulin glanced down, raised his head again, and continued walking forward.
The teaching building is a gray-white six-story building with a square shape and no unnecessary decoration.
In the lobby on the first floor stood a huge soul guidance screen, which scrolled and displayed the course schedule of each class. Tang Wulin stood in front of the screen and found his name, Grade One Class Seven, basic class.
He walked along the corridor and found the classroom of Class 7. The door was open, and several people were already sitting inside. The classroom was not big, with only about twenty desks, but it was very spacious. There was a soul-guiding screen on the podium, which could display the teacher's courseware and blackboard writing in real time.
Tang Wulin walked to the corner of the last row and sat down, putting his schoolbag on the table.
There were not many students in the basic class, about a dozen came one after another.
Sitting in the front row was a girl with a ponytail, immersed in reading, and she had made a lot of dense notes in her textbook. Sitting in the middle was a tall and thin boy, lying on the table to catch up on his sleep, and his saliva was almost drooling on the table. The boy sitting on the left was also wearing glasses, and was calculating something with a soul calculator, with a focused expression and a frown.
Tang Wulin looked away, took out the textbook, and turned to the first page.
Above was the basic structural diagram of Soul Tool, with densely packed parts and circuits drawn on it. He glanced at it for a few times and closed it again. These were too unfamiliar to him, and they were completely different fields from forging.
Forging is to make metals come alive and give them their own spirituality and life.
The Soul Tool is made of metal into immovable parts and assembled into a larger thing.
One is inward and the other is outward.
One is life and the other is tool.
Tang Wulin opened the textbook again and forced himself to read on.
The school bell rang.
A gray-haired teacher walked into the classroom, wearing a gray robe, with a gentle face and bright eyes. He looked to be in his fifties.
He stood on the podium and glanced casually at the students in the classroom. He paused for a long time on Tang Wulin in the last row, and then moved away.
"Hello, classmates, I am your class teacher, my surname is Shen, you can just call me Teacher Shen."
A strange scene happened. The students below did not react at all to the arrival of Teacher Shen, and were still busy with their own things.
Teacher Shen didn't care. His expression didn't even change. He just coughed and started to teach.
Teacher Shen's blackboard writing is neat and every stroke is done carefully. He first talked about the development history of Soul Tool, from the Sun Moon Empire ten thousand years ago to the current Federation era.
His voice was neither high nor low, very steady, like a quiet river, flowing unhurriedly.
Tang Wulin listened carefully and wrote down quickly on the notebook with the pen in his hand.
This is the rule he has set for himself. Since he has zero foundation in Soul Tool, he must work harder than others.
"The core of Soul Tool is energy conversion." Teacher Shen pointed to the structure diagram on the blackboard, "Convert Soul Power into the power of elements, and then convert the power of elements into the power you need. This process needs to be realized through Soul Guidance Array."
Tang Wulin put down the pen and stared at the structure diagram on the blackboard, thinking of the Silver Dragon Battle Armor forged by his master.
The set of Battle Armor also has similar textures. It's just more complex and profound.
The basis of Soul Guidance Array is texture, and texture is no stranger to blacksmiths.
Teacher Shen After talking about this, the students in the classroom nodded one after another, and some even started to try to draw the magic circle on the paper. Tang Wulin also picked up the pen, drew a line on the notebook, and erased it. Drawed a line, and erased it again.
After repeated attempts many times, he finally drew a complete basic soul guidance circuit.
He raised his head and found that Teacher Shen had walked up to him at some point and was bending over to read his notebook.
"Are you a blacksmith?" Teacher Shen asked.
Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment. "Yeah."
Teacher Shen nodded, turned around and walked back to the podium without asking any more questions.
After class, the students in the classroom left in twos and threes. Tang Wulin sat in his seat, did not move, and continued to read the textbook.
The girl with a ponytail in the front row came over, looked at him, and asked, "I heard that your Soul Tool foundation is zero?"
Tang Wulin nodded.
The girl sat down on the seat next to him. "My name is Su Mu, what is your name?"
"Tang Wulin."
Su Mu thought for a while and said, "This name sounds familiar."
Tang Wulin didn't know how to answer it, so he just smiled.
Su Mu didn't care and said to himself, "I have wanted to be Soul Engineer since I was a child. My dad said I have talent in this area, so he sent me here."
Tang Wulin looked at the textbook on her desk. There were very scrawled lines on her notebook, but he couldn't understand it.
"Why are your notes like this?" Tang Wulin asked.
Su Mu was stunned for a moment. "Don't worry about it. Anyway, just study hard. Speaking of which, I envy you to death."
"Why?" Tang Wulin was puzzled.
Su Mu was silent for a while and suddenly laughed, "Hey, don't worry about so much. If you don't understand anything, just come and ask me or other students. Of course, you can also ask Teacher Shen. He is one of the best Soul Engineer in the college."
She stretched out her hand. Tang Wulin hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand and shook her hand.
The two exchanged contact information, chatted for a few more words, and then Su Mu left.
At this time, only Tang Wulin was left in the classroom.
But, is this really what a college should be like? Why don't people even listen to the lectures?
He scratched his head, feeling that his experience this morning was a bit strange, but he couldn't figure out why.
