After the group entered, the woman following behind Xuan Ziwen jogged over to Ju Zi's side.
He hugged her tightly with a big smile and said, " Ju Zi, I'm back. Did you miss me?"
Ju Zi couldn't help but laugh, teasing, "You stinky Ke Ke, you've probably been out playing again these past few days, haven't you? What about the task the teacher gave you?"
"Oh dear, why are you saying that too? I did go out to play, but... but at least I completed the task, right?"
Ke Ke turned around and asked the two male students who were with her.
Then they could only obediently nod and say, "Yes, yes, Ke Ke is right."
However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that both of them were smiling helplessly. Although Ke Ke was usually very mischievous, they were both much older than her and naturally treated her like a younger sister.
So what if my younger sister is naughty? I can only indulge her.
So usually, after completing a task, it takes a few days for Ke Ke to take them out to play. Otherwise, they would have come back a few days ago.
As their mentor, Xuan Ziwen was naturally aware of this matter, but he turned a blind eye. As long as the mission was completed, it wouldn't be a big deal for them to play for a few days and then come back.
After a while, Ke Ke took out dozens of pieces of ore from her Storage Soul Tool and handed them to Xuan Ziwen.
Ke Ke asked with a smile, "Teacher, look, all the materials you needed are here. Is everything alright? Did you forget anything?"
Xuan Ziwen carefully observed the area, and after confirming that nothing had been overlooked, he nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, well done."
"Hehe, that's good." Being praised is naturally something to be happy about. Ke Ke turned around with a smile, but accidentally caught a glimpse of Cao Yu sitting in the corner cultivating.
Ke Ke immediately found herself unable to look away, and asked in surprise, "Teacher, is this a newcomer?"
At this moment, the other two male trainees also turned their attention to the corner.
Wow! This guy is way too handsome! One of the men with long blond hair couldn't help but feel jealous.
At this moment, Xuan Ziwen nodded and said, "He's an exchange student from Shrek Academy, specializing in Martial Soul Master. He said he's just here on vacation, so please don't disturb him."
"What's his name?" Ke Ke asked curiously.
Xuan Ziwen exclaimed, "His name is Cao Yu, a Six-Ring Soul Emperor, yet he possesses the physique and strength of Soul Douluo. It must be said that Shrek produces some monsters, especially those with the Martial Soul Department."
Upon hearing Cao Yu's strength, the two male students immediately stopped thinking and returned to their seats to help Xuan Ziwen with the experiment.
However, Ke Ke's eyes lit up when she heard about Cao Yu's strength. He was so handsome and outstanding, and he didn't even look seventeen years old!
Before she could even look at it for long, Ju Zi next to her quickly pulled her aside to help assemble the Soul Tool.
"Stop looking, I heard he already has a girlfriend." Ju Zi teased from the side. She had naturally seen Ke Ke's expression just now, and as her best friend of many years, she could guess what Ke Ke was thinking at that moment.
Maybe it was love at first sight? Or lust at first sight? It could be both, after all, girls can be attracted to beauty sometimes.
Ke Ke pouted and said angrily, "Hey! Ju Zi, why do you think of me like that! I wouldn't like him just because he's strong and good-looking, and he even looks a few years younger than me."
"I think you like him, don't you? Ju Zi, could it be that the girlfriend you're talking about is you?"
Hearing this, Ju Zi's face turned red with anger, and she said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't like him at all."
At this moment, Ke Ke looked at her smugly and said, "Then why are you blushing? Isn't that because you feel guilty? Tsk tsk, I never thought that an old bull would want to eat tender grass one day."
"Ah, I won't let you get away with this, Ke Ke, take this!" With that, she pounced on her, tickling her incessantly, making Ke Ke laugh nonstop.
Ke Ke quickly begged for mercy, "I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore, oh my god, that's hilarious!"
On the other side, Xuan Ziwen and the two male students shook their heads helplessly.
Then, Xuan Ziwen tapped the table with his finger, reminding the two, "Alright, stop fooling around and calm down. The experiment isn't finished yet."
"Okay, teacher." Ke Ke and Ju Zi could only obediently quiet down, but they were still carefully wary of each other, afraid that the other might launch a sneak attack when they weren't paying attention.
After Cao Yu finished his training, he naturally got to know the others. Compared to the attitude of the two male students, Ke Ke was much more enthusiastic towards him.
At noon, Ke Ke and the other girl invited him to have lunch with them.
However, after what happened a few days ago, Cao Yu naturally shook his head and refused. After all, they had put too much food on his plate, and he couldn't finish it all, so Cao Yu could only reluctantly refuse.
That evening, the Shrek students gathered in their dormitory to chat.
The group exchanged glances. Being newcomers, they were still figuring things out. Although they had learned some things, they were still far from reaching the core of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Chen Beifeng looked at He Caitou and said, " He Caitou, I can sense that my mentor must have left a lot of valuable knowledge behind when he taught me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have just imparted theoretical knowledge without giving any examples. How are things on your end?"
He Caitou smiled wryly, "I did explain the specific examples, but they were all examples for Soul Tool of level eight and above. Since I haven't reached the level of Level 8 Soul Engineer, I couldn't understand them at all."
"Moreover, I can only barely remember part of those design drawings, and the ones I drew back were all incomplete. They were clearly using underhanded tactics, yet they left us with no recourse. I believe that the education you received also has some problems."
Ye Xiaosheng and the others nodded in agreement and shared their similar experiences.
Cao Yu chuckled and said, "It seems we've all fallen for the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy's scheme. But don't be discouraged, my research institute has plenty of good stuff for you to learn."
"Alright, it's getting late. You should all go back and get some rest. I hope you'll have a fruitful year ahead."
He Caitou nodded and said, "Okay, let's do our best together!"
Cao Yu closed the door, but didn't turn off the lights. Instead, he lay on the bed with his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling.
At this moment, the Immoral Dog had been released from Elder Yi's demiplane. Like a husky, it tilted its head and its tongue lolled out.
The Immoral Dog asked, "Master, what are you thinking? Are you going to take me to collect human pets again?"
"No, I was wondering if dog meat hot pot would taste good?"
