Around six o'clock in the morning.
The Shrek Academy students had already gotten out of bed. At that moment, Cao Yu was brushing his teeth when there was a knock on the door.
Upon opening the door, they saw Ye Xiaosheng and his group. Ye Xiaosheng asked with a smile, " Boss Cao, are you ready? I heard that the Soul Tool Academy will be using a lottery system to select our respective mentors in order to ensure fairness."
"But we don't mind, so why are they still playing this game?"
At this moment, Chen Beifeng and his group also came over, saying in a sly tone, " Ye Xiaosheng, you don't understand, do you? This is called a face-saving project. It has to be done properly, otherwise they won't feel at ease."
Cao Yu said, "Alright, wait for me a moment, I haven't washed my face yet."
He Caitou nodded and said, "Okay, we'll wait for you."
Not long after, Cao Yu and the others went to the cafeteria for breakfast.
When they returned to their dormitory after breakfast, each of them had received two sets of school uniforms, and they were told to gather on the first floor of the sixth-grade teaching building.
"That's pretty efficient." They put on their school uniforms and went down to the first floor.
There are two teaching buildings for the sixth grade, but only a few dozen students, most of whom are Soul Engineer of Level 5 or above.
Compared to the number of first-year students, the number of sixth-year students is pitifully small.
Chen Beifeng muttered to himself, "Such a small number of people using such a large teaching building, what a waste!"
Cao Yu said, "This shows that the Sun Moon Empire is facing a serious shortage of high-level talent, which is actually a good thing."
He Caitou nodded in agreement, saying, " Cao Yu makes a lot of sense. If both buildings are full of students, then Shrek really has no hope."
Inside the classroom on the first floor, ten teachers stood behind the Dean of Students, Lin Jiayi, and then he began to speak.
"Dear students from Shrek Academy, starting today, you will be studying at our Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, under the guidance of these ten sixth-year teachers behind me."
"These six teachers are all highly capable instructors in our academy, at least Level 7 Soul Engineer, and each of them is mentoring several sixth-year students."
"The college's sixth-year experimental area will also be open to you, and all the materials you need for your experiments will be provided by the college."
"If you want to take your completed Soul Tool with you, you'll need to pay for the materials. If it's just for testing, it's completely free."
As expected, the subsequent teacher selection process followed suit.
Through a lottery system, each person left first with their respective mentor.
The old man in charge of teaching Cao Yu glanced at him but didn't find the Soul Engineer badge. Then he couldn't help but recall Lin Jiayi's instructions to them the night before.
"Looks like this is the Martial Soul Master who's here on vacation. He's quite tall and imposing, and this kid is really good-looking."
To be honest, Xuan Ziwen was indeed shocked by Cao Yu's appearance.
The two entered the office, and he introduced himself, saying, "My name is Xuan Ziwen. From today onwards, I will be your teacher. Although I know you are a Martial Soul Master, if you are interested in the knowledge of Soul Tool, I don't mind teaching you."
Cao Yu kept his eyes fixed on the person in front of him, feeling like he looked vaguely familiar.
After a while, Cao Yu suddenly realized that when he visited the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Xuan Ziwen was one of the people whose Storage Soul Tool he had stolen.
Looking at Xuan Ziwen, Cao Yu immediately became enthusiastic, then smiled slightly and said, "Hello, Teacher Xuan, I'll be leaving things in your care for the next while."
Xuan Ziwen thought Cao Yu wanted to ask him about Soul Tool, but to his surprise, after speaking, Cao Yu closed his eyes and sat down to meditate and cultivate.
He then smiled helplessly. Dealing with a student from the Martial Soul Department was really difficult. If it weren't for the Dean of Students Lin Jiayi, having spoken to them beforehand, he would have had to give them a good talking-to.
But it's good in a way; it saved me time.
Thinking of Xuan Ziwen, he threw himself into his experiment.
In truth, Cao Yu didn't have much to learn from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, since he had already taken away many useful things last time, and now the only thing of value left was the Mingde Hall.
He cultivated for less than an hour.
With a click, the classroom door slowly opened.
However, Cao Yu was still immersed in cultivation and did not open his eyes, while Xuan Ziwen put down the experiment in his hand and looked out the door.
A young girl walked in and greeted us sleepily.
"Teacher, why are you up so early? That's unusual!"
The girl didn't seem to have even reached Cao Yu.
Then he walked to the large lab table, plopped down, and slumped over with his hands on the table, as if he wanted to take another nap.
The girl had waist-length hair and looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she was surprisingly well-developed.
"Ahem." Xuan Ziwen coughed twice. " Ju Zi, wake up! Can't you see there are new people here?"
Ju Zi remained lying there, raised her right hand and waved, then slightly opened her eyes and glanced around. Why did this person seem so familiar?
Then she rubbed her eyes with her little hands, opened them again and observed carefully. Finally, she could see the person in front of her clearly, Ju Zi immediately woke up.
Then she pointed at Cao Yu, her face full of surprise, and said haltingly, "This... this... he..."
Upon seeing her surprised expression, Xuan Ziwen helplessly covered his face.
He then said with a wry smile, "Hey Ju Zi, this newcomer is quite good-looking, but you don't have to act like this, do you? You don't look like a girl at all right now!"
Ju Zi wanted to retort, but she was too shocked to speak.
Her gaze remained fixed on Cao Yu, and she thought to herself, "He really is back! But how dare he? Isn't he afraid I'll tell everyone?"
Then, she couldn't help but think, "I didn't expect him to have grown so strong and handsome after all these years."
At this moment, Xuan Ziwen waved his hand and said, "Hey! Ju Zi, wake up, wake up! Even if you fall in love at first sight, it doesn't have to be like this."
After being woken up by her mentor, Ju Zi calmed herself down. Seeing that she had returned to normal, Xuan Ziwen let her return to her seat.
"Alright, go do your experiments if you have nothing else to do. He's cultivating right now, don't disturb him."
"Oh." Ju Zi absentmindedly began to conduct the experiment, but she also secretly observed Cao Yu, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, from time to time.
Xuan Ziwen, who was standing to the side, naturally noticed this change in her. Usually, Ju Zi was very rigorous and efficient in her experiments.
Now, just because she brought a new person along, she's become like this.
The fact that his female students had fallen for him was a major headache for Xuan Ziwen.
Xuan Ziwen tapped the table helplessly, reminding her, " Ju Zi, focus! Don't keep staring at the newcomers!"
"If this experiment fails, you'll have to redo it."
Feeling a little embarrassed that her teacher had noticed, Ju Zi looked away and said, "Oh, I know."
