Huo Yuhao's Major Transfer

"This concerns your own future. You still need to weigh the pros and cons carefully." After Lin Yao finished speaking, he waved at Xiao Xiao, then headed toward the cafeteria.

Xiao Xiao, meanwhile, looked thoughtfully at the emerald-green Nine-Phoenix Flute in her hand.

When Lin Yao reached the area near the cafeteria, Ye Guyi had already bought dinner and was walking toward the dormitory building. The two happened to run into each other head-on.

"Your chase with him is over?" Ye Guyi asked Lin Yao with a smile, and he smiled as well.

"Mm. What did you buy?"

Ye Guyi smiled and lifted the lunch boxes in her hand, saying to Lin Yao, "Braised sea cucumber with scallions and abalone dumplings. It counts as our celebration for winning this freshman assessment."

Lin Yao curled his lips, then said to Ye Guyi, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go out and find a good place to eat."

Ye Guyi nodded, then followed Lin Yao out of Shrek Academy's main gate.

At the school gate, Huo Yuhao's little grilled fish stall was unusually not open today. Lin Yun figured there was an eighty percent chance Huo Yuhao had gone to look for his teacher from the Soul Guidance Department.

Ye Guyi did not know the details behind it. She only said to Lin Yao with some regret, "What a pity. Huo Yuhao's actually not here. I'd been thinking of getting two more grilled fish from him to take along and eat."

Lin Yao smiled, then said to Ye Guyi, "If you want to eat grilled fish, I can grill it for you too. Besides, we just beat him, and then we go buy his food right after. It feels a little wrong."

Ye Guyi blinked, looked at Lin Yao, and asked, "You know how to grill fish?"

Lin Yao smiled, then said to Ye Guyi, "I wouldn't dare say it'll definitely taste better than Huo Yuhao's, but at the very least it won't be much worse. And I know how to make more than that. Not just grilled fish—skewers and grilled meat too."

Ye Guyi smiled and said to Lin Yao, "Then I'll be seriously looking forward to it."

Lin Yao looked gently at Ye Guyi's smiling face, then nodded to her dotingly and said, "All right. Then let's find a place where we can rent a grill and take our time enjoying tonight."

That night, the sea cucumber and abalone could be said to have been put to full use, and Lin Yao's grilled fish skills truly left Ye Guyi relaxed and delighted. With Ye Guyi's own fondness acting as a bit of a filter, it even surpassed the taste of Huo Yuhao's grilled fish...

The next morning, Lin Yao and Ye Guyi got up together, returned to Shrek Academy, and entered Class One's classroom right on time.

Among the four freshman classes, Class One was undoubtedly the strongest, but it did not have the most students. The Assault System and Control System combined only numbered a little over sixty, while the class with the most people was the mixed Class Four.

After Lin Yao and Ye Guyi walked in, Wang Yan entered Class One's classroom almost immediately after them.

"I have one personnel change to announce," Wang Yan said at this moment. "According to Huo Yuhao's own application, from today onward, he will transfer from the Martial Soul Department to the Soul Guidance Department to continue his studies."

After hearing Wang Yan's words, nearly everyone in Class One turned their gazes toward that now-empty seat. Lin Yao was also somewhat surprised. Transferring to the Soul Guidance Department to study was completely different from the status, treatment, and learning content of being a dual-core disciple of both the Soul Guidance Department and the Martial Soul Department in the original work.

A department transfer formally announced in class like this by Wang Yan basically meant he had withdrawn from the Martial Soul Department and would never be coming back.

His future lessons would no longer be related to the Martial Soul Department either, and he would instead follow the Soul Guidance Department's curriculum exclusively.

Who knew what kind of bewitching soup Fan Yu had poured into Huo Yuhao last night? To study the Soul Guidance Department at Shrek Academy—what kind of god-tier genius could even come up with a move like that?

However, Lin Yao's sighs did not last long, because after Wang Yan finished announcing this matter, he did not give the other students in Class One much time to think. Instead, he turned and wrote the categories of Assault System and Agility System on the blackboard.

The two systems were written on either side of the blackboard, symmetrical like a pair of couplets.

"All right, that concludes the matter of Huo Yuhao's transfer. Everyone should avoid casually discussing it in private as well, since it involves a former classmate's privacy." Wang Yan clapped his hands behind the lectern as he spoke, then pointed toward the chalk writing behind him.

"Next, we will hold the election for class monitor and vice monitor. Since our class's situation is relatively simple, with only the Assault System and Soul Guidance Department as our two categories, the class monitor and vice monitor will be held by one student each from the Assault System and Control System. The main and vice positions will switch once a month. I will now make the nominations, and you will begin anonymous voting."

After saying this, Wang Yan turned around and wrote several names under Assault System and Control System on the blackboard.

On the Assault System side were Lin Yao, Ye Guyi, Dai Huabin, Huang Chutian, Zhou Sichen, Wu Feng, and the others.

On the Control System side were Xiao Xiao, Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, and the others.

One name after another appeared on the blackboard. As he wrote them, Wang Yan's leanings were already obvious.

And this time, without the controversial candidate Huo Yuhao, Wu Feng did not kick up a fuss. After all, Lin Yao and Wu Feng had originally been in the same class, and Wu Feng knew Lin Yao's strength very well. It should be said that no one present refused to acknowledge Lin Yao's combat power.

Aside from Dai Huabin, Lin Yao received everyone's vote. When Dai Huabin saw this result, he only clicked his tongue softly and did not dare say anything offensive.

On the Control System side, Xiao Xiao was elected. The main reason was that Lin Yao had cast his own vote for Xiao Xiao, and so quite a few people in the class who were unwilling to offend Lin Yao cast their votes for Xiao Xiao as well.

Wang Yan watched this scene, feeling both pleased and worried. Lin Yao's control over the class was simply too high. And in terms of true strength, the other party really was not afraid of him at all.

These fence-sitters could give Lin Yao face and vote for Xiao Xiao today. Tomorrow, for all he knew, they could give Lin Yao face again and treat his words as nothing but wind by their ears.

Taming this dragon would still have to wait until Mu Jin came. Wang Yan thought this to himself, but on the surface, he did not reveal his emotions.

That afternoon, Lin Yao and Ye Guyi were called to the office by Mu Jin.

"This is the soul bone Zhou Yi lost to me. You and Ye Guyi take a look. Whoever needs it more can take it." Mu Jin took out an identical leather pouch to the one Du Weilun had brought out back then and spoke to Lin Yao and Ye Guyi.

After Lin Yao took the leather pouch, the smile on his face did not change as he asked Mu Jin, "By the way, Teacher Mu, did Zhou Yi really let you slap her across the mouth?"

At the mention of this, a smile also appeared on Mu Jin's face. Then she pursed her lips again, took an unhappy sip of tea, rolled her eyes, and said to Lin Yao, "Do you think that's possible?"

Ye Guyi cut in, "Teacher Zhou is an adult. She couldn't have gone back on her word, could she..."
