I'm Reporting This to Mingde Hall

Ye Luochen raised his head to see several people standing ahead, all dressed in teacher uniforms.

Facing their inquiries, Lin Yuan spoke indifferently:

"Failed? Of course I didn't fail."

"Look, this kid behind me is the reason. I'm bringing him into the academy to take a look."

Hearing this, the gazes of the group immediately fell upon Ye Luochen.

Their eyes were filled with curiosity.

After all, being personally escorted by a Level 7 Soul Master was quite an extraordinary treatment.

"Director Lin, could this be a descendant of some noble family? Why not introduce him to us as well?"

Listening to their words, Lin Yuan glanced at them coldly before replying:

"What are you thinking? This is an assessment I am personally overseeing, not some half-baked student getting in through the back door."

"Also, let me give you a warning: don't get any ideas about this child."

"I intend to report him to Mingde Hall personally."

As soon as these words were spoken, the teachers were visibly shaken.

Mingde Hall?!

They looked at Ye Luochen again, but their expressions had changed completely compared to before.

Because everyone in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy knew what that name represented.

Mingde Hall.

That was the true core of the academy!

Everyone who managed to enter was a top-tier soul master genius!

But now, Lin Yuan was actually going to personally send a newly enrolled student to Mingde Hall?

What on earth was going on?

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Ye Luochen was also slightly stunned.

His heart, which had been calm throughout the journey, could not help but ripple.

Although he was not from the Sun Moon Empire, he had heard the name Mingde Hall while at Shrek.

He knew a thing or two about it.

It was rumored that within the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, it was a sacred existence on par with the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek.

Thinking of this, Ye Luochen couldn't help but feel a bit dazed and surreal.

After all, back at Shrek.

He was only ever told that "an ordinary martial soul is an ordinary martial soul after all."

Even when his strength was sufficient, he wasn't even allowed to join the Shrek Seven Devils reserve team.

But here, because of his previous performance, Lin Yuan actually wanted to bring him into the sacred Mingde Hall, which was equivalent to the Sea God Pavilion?

The difference between being treated like dirt on one side and being in heaven on the other was truly hard for Ye Luochen to believe.

Just as Ye Luochen was lost in his thoughts, the teachers finally couldn't hold back anymore.

One of them spoke up first:

"Director Lin, are you serious?"

"You really want to report a newly enrolled student directly to Mingde Hall?"

Another couldn't help but ask:

"Mingde Hall has always been strict with its recruitment; even senior students with mature soul guidance technology must pass through layers of audits."

"What exactly did this child do to make you value him so much?"

Listening to them, Lin Yuan merely glanced at them.

Then he said calmly:

"What did he do?"

"Nothing much, just successfully carved a first-level core array on his very first attempt at using a soul tool."

Lin Yuan's voice was calm, but to the ears of those present, it sounded like a thunderclap.

"What?!"

The teachers cried out almost in unison.

First time touching a soul tool?

Successfully carved a first-level core array on the first try?

Are you kidding me!

That was a core array carving!

Even if it was only Level 1, it was absolutely not something someone without any foundation could complete!

One of the teachers couldn't help but speak up:

"Director Lin, are you sure you aren't joking?"

Lin Yuan immediately sneered.

"Do I look like I have the spare time to joke about something like this?"

"Furthermore, this kid not only succeeded, he didn't make a single mistake throughout the entire process."

Once these words were spoken, the group fell completely silent.

When they looked at Ye Luochen again, their gazes had changed entirely.

If they had only been shocked by the name "Mingde Hall" a moment ago.

Then now, they truly realized just how outrageous the youth before them was.

As if that weren't enough, Lin Yuan continued:

"Also, his Martial Soul has an extremely high compatibility with soul tool carving knives; it is arguably one of the most suitable Martial Souls for soul tools that I have seen in all my years."

"Add to that his astonishing mental control..."

At this point, Lin Yuan couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Then, he slowly uttered a single sentence.

"I even feel that this child was born for the sake of soul tools."

Hearing this, the several teachers exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.

Because they knew all too well just how high this evaluation from Lin Yuan was.

As a Level 7 Soul Master who had been famous within the academy for many years.

How sharp and discerning was Lin Yuan's eye?

For him to say something like this, it was definitely not as simple as "not bad."

It was a top-tier genius in the truest sense!

For a moment, as they looked at Ye Luochen again.

Their eyes grew faintly fervent.

One of the teachers couldn't help but step forward a few paces.

"Child, release your Martial Soul and let me see it."

Ye Luochen hesitated slightly, but still raised his right hand.

The next moment, as faint soul power circulated, a pitch-black short blade slowly emerged.

And the moment the Martial Soul appeared, the pupils of those teachers simultaneously constricted.

It was too similar.

The small blade before them, in terms of shape, length, and sharpness.

Was extremely close to a real soul tool carving knife!

Moreover, they all knew very well that because a Martial Soul is connected to the soul itself.

The precision of its control must far exceed that of a soul tool carving knife!

One person couldn't help but exclaim:

"No wonder Director Lin would say that; this is simply a natural-born soul master."

Another person directly released their mental power to perceive Ye Luochen.

A moment later, they also sighed repeatedly:

"Both his mental power and soul power have reached a state of near-perfect convergence, without the slightest leakage."

"This kind of control, tsk tsk tsk..."

As both a Soul Master and a soul master, he knew clearly that this level of control could never be achieved by talent alone.

It must be the result of being tempered through countless sessions of grueling practice.

Thinking of this.

The gazes the group directed at Ye Luochen became even more complex.

Astonishing talent, combined with the willingness to put in the hard work.

People like this were the truly terrifying ones.

On the other side, Ye Luochen stood in place.

Listening to the sounds of shock and praise all around him, he felt as if it were all somewhat unreal.

For in the years he had spent at Shrek, no matter how hard he worked or how desperately he struggled, what others noticed first

was always "ordinary martial soul" and "innate fourth-rank soul power."

It was as if these labels were the entirety of his existence.

But now, these teachers at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were shocked by his abilities, viewing him as if he were a monster.

For the first time, Ye Luochen suddenly felt a sense of realization.

Perhaps...

he was not as Shrek had claimed.

Mediocre and ordinary?
