The Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy was the finest academy in the Sun Moon Empire.
It had abundant resources and an exceptional faculty. Both its president and vice president ranked among the best Rank-9 Soul Engineers, and its president, Jing Hongchen, could place in the top five Soul Engineers in the Sun Moon Empire.
The vice president had only advanced to Rank-9 Soul Engineer two years earlier. Xu Tianchen had then appointed him to the post.
Though Xu Tianchen was officially a graduate of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, he had barely studied there. He had enrolled mainly to represent the Sun Moon Empire in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament.
But Xu Tianchen had led the students of his generation to the Sun Moon Empire's first championship, making him an idol to many students today.
Jing Hongchen had wanted to hold a welcome ceremony for Xu Tianchen's visit, but Xu Tianchen refused, saying he did not want to waste resources or take up the other students' time.
His main purpose was to see the Main Team members and reserve team members selected for the tournament. The academy's president and vice president were the only escorts he needed.
The empire's de facto leader had spoken. How could the academy's senior staff disagree?
The training square of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.
The starting and reserve teams stood in two neat rows. The most distinctive presences belonged to the man second in the first row and the woman first in the second.
The man was not particularly handsome, but his bearing stood out. He was like a longsword poised to be drawn at any moment. This was Ji Juechen, a prodigious genius.
The woman was graceful and beautiful, with an otherworldly, sacred air.
