"Yes, I have indeed cultivated some special secret techniques, so my physical fitness has improved," Jun Yi replied to Bai Baoshan.
"Yes, very good. Soul Master not only need to focus on cultivating their Soul Power, but also need to improve their physical fitness. Otherwise, they will be hampered in both combat and absorbing Soul Ring." Bai Baoshan also showed a satisfied smile.
"Child, how did you cultivate your Divine Power to the point of being able to project it outwards?" Meng Shenji asked.
Before Jun Yi could answer, Meng Shenji realized she might have offended him, and quickly added, "I'm sorry, child, you don't need to answer my question. I was just a little too excited, so I asked a lot of questions."
Meng Shenji's words put Jun Yi at ease. He had originally wanted to complain that these three were checking his household registration, asking so many questions at once.
"To cultivate Soul Power, physical fitness, and Divine Power simultaneously, and to reach levels that are beyond what one should have at your age—I have never seen such a genius before. Your Highness Qinghe has truly provided our empire with a fine seedling," Meng Shenji exclaimed.
"Child, let me introduce myself. My name is Meng Shenji, and I am one of the three members of the academy's teaching committee."
Meng Shenji pointed in the directions of Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin, and introduced their names and identities.
"After introducing myself, shouldn't the next step, as is customary, be to test my strength?" Jun Yi murmured to himself.
Sure enough, Zhi Lin looked into Jun Yi's eyes and slowly said, "Child, I heard from Your Highness Qinghe that you are Control System Soul Master. I'd like to test your strength, what do you say?"
"What's coming will come eventually," Jun Yi thought to himself, but outwardly remained calm and collected. "Of course."
Zhi Lin smiled slightly, and the air around his body suddenly distorted slightly. Then Jun Yi clearly sensed that the air around his body seemed to solidify, and a huge surge of Soul Power rushed in, trying to suppress his body.
However, this oppressive aura had absolutely no effect on Jun Yi, Jun Yi didn't even want to release his Soul Power.
"Huh." Zhi Lin's originally calm gaze gradually turned to surprise. What he released should be something a level 35 Soul Master could just bear, yet would find somewhat difficult.
But Jun Yi didn't react at all, which surprised Zhi Lin. Generally speaking, a low-level Soul Master is quite outstanding if he can withstand the direct pressure of Soul Power from a high-level Soul Master Soul Master, up to two-thirds of his own level.
If one can persist until their willpower is equal to their Soul Power, then their willpower is extremely strong. However, the prerequisite for all of this is to release Martial Soul.
Zhi Lin knew that Jun Yi had extremely high talent, so he released a pressure two levels higher than Jun Yi's. Generally speaking, even Soul Elder would have to release their Martial Soul to resist this pressure.
Jun Yi didn't even use his Soul Power; he simply relied on his body to withstand the pressure, which was astonishing.
Zhi Lin then glanced at Meng Shenji beside him, and seeing Meng Shenji nod, Zhi Lin began to increase the Soul Power pressure he released.
Level 36, Level 37, Level 38, Level 39, Level 40!
Jun Yi showed no reaction whatsoever, not even a change in expression. Faced with such a powerful pressure test, he even tickled!
Seeing this, Zhi Lin also began to increase the output of his Soul Power, from level 42, 44, 46, 48, all the way to level 50. Jun Yi remained expressionless, as if no pressure was being applied to him at all.
"Just how many levels of pressure can this child withstand?"
Zhi Lin's initial surprise turned into shock. He hadn't expected that a Soul Elder could withstand the pressure of Soul King, and Jun Yi hadn't even released his Martial Soul.
Just as Zhi Lin was about to increase his Soul Power output again, Jun Yi spoke up, "Committee Member Zhi Lin, I can no longer withstand your pressure. Please withdraw it."
"Um."
Upon hearing Jun Yi's words, Zhi Lin nodded and dispersed the Soul Power pressure he had released. Of course, Zhi Lin understood that Jun Yi was lying; he could have easily withstood an even higher level of pressure. However, Zhi Lin also understood that Jun Yi was trying to prevent others from probing his limits. Respecting Jun Yi's wishes, Zhi Lin dispersed his own Soul Power.
Seeing this Meng Shenji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I never expected, I really never expected, that such a genius would emerge in our Soul Master World. I'm so glad I could meet him here today, and I hope he'll join our Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the future."
The three education commissioners then asked Teacher Sun to handle Jun Yi's enrollment procedures, leaving Jun Yi in the education commission office for a chat.
"Child, I heard His Your Highness Qinghe mention before that you went to the Spirit Hall Academy with the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and you even became a transfer student?"
Meng Shenji started talking about Jun Yi's recent experiences, his tone tinged with curiosity, and continued, "I don't mean to blame you, I just want to know what you think of our Heaven Dou Royal Academy compared to the Spirit Hall Academy?"
"In terms of environment, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is superior. Nestled against mountains and beside water, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Heaven Dou Royal Academy a beautiful setting, making it better than the Spirit Hall Academy."
Jun Yi made some polite remarks, but it was the truth; the environment at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was indeed much better than that of the Spirit Hall.
Bai Baoshan sighed and muttered to himself, "Well, we can only Bibi environments. The students at the Spirit Hall Academy are far, far better than those at our academy."
"The main reason is that rule that only accepts nobles. How many outstanding students have we lost? There were many talented students from the Heaven Dou Empire who couldn't join the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy just because they weren't nobles, and they all ended up going to the Spirit Hall Academy. Sigh." Zhi Lin, the Education Committee member, sighed from the side.
"However, His Your Highness Qinghe is now working hard to improve this situation. The fact that a child like Jun Yi, who has no noble title, has joined our Heaven Dou Royal Academy represents the first step our academy has taken in accepting non-noble students."
Seeing Meng Shenji's excited expression, Jun Yi understood why the three education committee members and Teacher Sun were so excited when they learned that he had joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Could my arrival really drive reform at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? If it succeeds, then I'll have done a good deed, and the common people will surely attribute this achievement to Xue Qinghe, which will also be a political achievement for him."
Jun Yi was pondering this in his heart when a loud voice reached their ears.
"Is Chief Meng Shenji Officer here?"...
