Self-Introduction

Early the next morning, the Opening Ceremony was officially held on the sports field.

After Yu Zhen gave a long speech, Huo Yuhao heard class assignments completely different from the original.

"Now we will begin the Class Assignment Ceremony. Everyone knows that at Eastsea Academy, the smaller the class number, the more outstanding the students' strength usually is, but this is not absolute. We hope that those assigned to the later classes can also rely on their own efforts to rise up, catch up, and close the gap. This year's new students number one hundred and ten in total, and will be divided into five classes. Next, students whose names I call, please step forward."

"Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena... Xie Xie will enter Class One."

"Tang Wulin... will enter Class Two."

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Tang Wulin, who walked out with an excited expression, and the other students heading toward the Class Two area.

The Soul Spirit Contract had, in the end, brought a different color to this era. Among them, many people who originally should not have been able to obtain Hundred Year Soul Spirits now had different opportunities...

At that thought, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth.

Long Hengxu said, "Class teachers, bring your students back to your respective classrooms."

Huo Yuhao looked at the man walking over to them. His smile vanished, and his eyelid twitched.

So that was it. You were the surprise Pagoda Master Hua mentioned—

Teacher Luo Yanglu?

Looking at the man he had already grown familiar with recently, Huo Yuhao's expression turned complicated.

But after thinking about it another way, he felt relieved. At least Hua Yichen had not come in person!

When he came up to them and noticed the strange expressions on Huo Yuhao's and Gu Yuena's faces, Luo Yanglu smiled and used Sound Transmission into Line to speak to the two of them.

"You should have guessed it. Eastsea Academy plans to establish a Special Class, and for that, they've reached a few cooperative agreements with our Spirit Pagoda. You two are students who were reserved in advance."

"As for the Special Class's teachers, the only one previously reserved was Wu Zhangkong over there. He was once a Shrek Inner Court student. We aren't comfortable handing you over to him. If you were accidentally lured away, there'd be nowhere to cry. That's why they sent me here—to teach Class One first and build up experience."

"Don't look down on me because this is my first time teaching. At the very least, I'm better than that teacher over there whose head is full of romance, right? If it weren't me, that Class Two homeroom teacher would be the one teaching you. Maybe she'd have you go and slap Teacher Wu's face hard."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Gu Yuena: "..."

There were five teachers. Counting Luo Yanglu, they were three men and two women.

The two female teachers were in their twenties, young and pretty in appearance, and looked somewhat alike. They were a pair of sisters named Ye Yingluo and Ye Yingrong respectively.

One of them was the Class Two homeroom teacher, and the other was Class Three's homeroom teacher, but neither of them was looking at their own students. They were only staring fixedly at Class Five's homeroom teacher—Wu Zhangkong.

Unfortunately, Wu Zhangkong wore an expression that kept strangers away and did not look at them at all. He only said "Follow me" to his own students, then turned and left.

This was clearly unrequited love. Gu Yuena even saw the irritation of "hatred born from love" in Ye Yingluo's eyes.

If they really had been assigned to Class Two, this woman probably really would be like Luo Yanglu thought, making them defeat Wu Zhangkong's students as revenge...

Running into someone love-crazed right after arriving, Gu Yuena suddenly felt that Hua Yichen's earlier warning was not without reason.

If the teachers were all like this, could the students possibly turn out well?

Were all human academies like this? Not focusing on proper business, thinking about dating all day long?

Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao and suddenly understood the reason he had left behind that kind of ancestral teaching.

Hm? Beside him was yesterday's...

"I didn't expect us to be in the same class. My name is Xie Xie."

Xie Xie walked up beside Huo Yuhao. Seeing him looking in the direction Wu Zhangkong had left, he said, "I heard from others that he's Eastsea Academy's cold and arrogant male idol. The girls in the Advanced Department and the academy's female teachers all like him. Just look at those two female teachers' eyes and you'll know how popular he is... What, are you jealous? You're not bad either. The girl who was with you yesterday is looking at you."

Huo Yuhao turned his head and glanced at Xie Xie, who had a cold, stern face yet was saying unreliable things, then glanced at Gu Yuena, who was looking over. "I'm Huo Yuhao. Student Gu Yuena and I are friends."

Friends? That was not right, was it? A cold-as-ice girl only being friendly to one person looked suspicious no matter how you looked at it.

Although he thought so, Xie Xie still did not say it directly. Instead, he said, "Please guide me from now on, genius of the Mecha Master Association. If you run into trouble in the future, you can come find me. I'll cover you."

He had been a little uncertain before, but after Huo Yuhao said his name, he was sure. This person was the genius his father had been talking about recently. No wonder he had felt inexplicably familiar yesterday.

Their Xie Family was a Mecha Family of Eastsea and took pride in becoming Mecha Masters. They had a good relationship with the Mecha Master Association. Recently, his father had often been nagging in front of him that an unrivaled genius had appeared over there, someone who had become a Level Three Designer at such a young age and had helped one of his colleagues design an extremely perfect set of blueprints. Xie Xie was tired of hearing it.

So what if the other party was far ahead in his Side Profession?

As the owner of Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, Xie Xie had his own pride.

A mecha designer was different from a Manufacturer who carved Soul Guidance Arrays. There were no strict requirements for Soul Power. In cultivation, he was definitely superior!

Huo Yuhao gave Xie Xie a strange look, then nodded.

"If there's a chance."

Xie Xie nodded faintly, secretly delighted inside.

That secret delight lasted all the way until everyone returned to the classroom and began their self-introductions.

Luo Yanglu looked at the students below with a beaming smile. "Hello, everyone. My name is Luo Yanglu. From now on, I will be your homeroom teacher. First, everyone will introduce themselves in the order I say, so I can understand what you're good at, as well as your goals."

"Student Xie Xie, start with you."

Xie Xie sat in the first row. Hearing this, he stood up and said proudly, "Xie Xie, martial soul Light Dragon Dagger, Soul Power Level nineteen. My goal is to become an Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master."

His Soul Power Level of as high as nineteen made some classmates cry out in surprise. At Eastsea Academy, anyone who could become a Soul Grandmaster before the age of twelve could be called a genius, and Xie Xie was more than qualified.

But some people showed disdain at that.

After Xie Xie, more than a dozen others stood up and gave their self-introductions. Their Soul Power averaged around Level Fourteen or Fifteen.

Until...

"Wei Xiaofeng, Martial Soul Azure Shadow Snake, Soul Power Level Twenty-Two, Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master!"

Wei Xiaofeng basked in the gazes of everyone present, glanced at Xie Xie, whose brows had instantly tightened, and secretly sneered.

He was the strongest genius in this class!

Because his first Soul Spirit was the same as his Martial Soul, both Azure Shadow Snake, the feedback from the Soul Spirit Contract had made his early cultivation speed extremely fast, no weaker than those top-tier geniuses.

In his view, students his age who enrolled in Shrek Academy were only about this level.

His future goal was even to enter Shrek Academy and eventually become a Titled Douluo who could shake the world. He had already thought of his title—it would be called "Azure Shadow"!

As he thought of this, the smile on Wei Xiaofeng's face grew even wider.

Then his smile froze on his face.

"Gu Yuena, Martial Soul Elemental Envoy, Soul Power Level Twenty-Seven, Strength Attack System Battle Spirit Master."
