Just as Jiang Hai was lost in thought, a tall, slender young woman walked out of the Literature Building.
"Senior Wenqing? What are you doing here?" Jiang Hai froze for a moment.
The young woman was Xu Wenqing, his teammate in his first Soul Fighting Tournament and the only Soul Engineer at East Cang Academy besides him.
Xu Wenqing had actually come to Civilization Academy!?
Hearing someone call her name, Xu Wenqing could not help looking up. Before her stood a man clad entirely in armor. Xu Tianran froze for a moment. The man's face seemed familiar? But Xu Wenqing's gaze was soon drawn to Jiang Hai's armor, and she cried out, "Four... Symbols Radiance Armor?"
The Four Symbols Radiance Armor was the creation of Xu Wenqing's teacher, Zhen Weiding. Naturally, she recognized it, and she had spent plenty of time studying her teacher's armor. Yet, to her eyes, even his Four Symbols Radiance Armor was not as perfect as the one before her.
"You're... Jiang Hai?" Something suddenly occurred to Xu Wenqing. Her eyes widened, and she blurted out, "You're not dead?"
Jiang Hai gave a wry chuckle. "Of course I'm not dead. But why are you at Civilization Academy, and why were you coming out of the institute?"
Xu Wenqing smiled at his words. "I'm glad you're all right. I almost didn't recognize you just now. As for why I'm here, it's simple. East Cang Academy no longer exists. Most of its teachers and students joined Civilization Academy. I'm a senior researcher at the Civilization Research Institute now."
"Congratulations!" Jiang Hai said with a smile. A senior researcher at the Civilization Research Institute had to be at least a high-ranking Soul Engineer, which meant Xu Wenqing had become at least a Level 7 Soul Engineer.
That was only
