Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy
All students have returned to their normal studies, and scenes of couples showing affection are commonplace in the Mingde Hall every day.
Gradually, everyone got used to it, but He Caitou and the others didn't think about finding a girlfriend.
Cao Yu also tried to ask them why they didn't have girlfriends.
Ye Xiaosheng and the others spoke their minds, scratching their heads sheepishly and saying, "We already have someone we like at Shrek."
"Hey, Chen Beifeng, it's you too?"
"Hmm." Chen Beifeng nodded somewhat embarrassedly, which was also why they didn't look for girlfriends here.
At this moment, Ye Xiaosheng said, "I estimate that we'll become Inner Court disciples after we go back, and then we can participate in the Sea God Lake Matchmaking Convention, and that should be settled."
Chen Beifeng nodded and said, "That's what I'm planning too."
After all, when they were at the Shrek Academy, they usually stayed in the Soul Tool Department, oblivious to the outside world, and buried themselves in learning about Soul Tool. They mostly didn't have time to date.
Furthermore, the male-to-female ratio in Shrek 'Soul Tool Department is severely imbalanced, with far more men than women, resulting in a complete lack of resources.
So they all pinned their hopes on the future Sea God Lake Matchmaking Convention.
Everyone turned their attention to He Caitou, and asked, " He Caitou, what about you?"
Upon hearing the voice, he looked up, pointed to himself, He Caitou said with a puzzled expression, "Me? Hehe, just like you guys."
After all, Shrek Academy has quite a few female Inner Court disciples every year, so no one is in a hurry.
Three months later.
With Meng Hongchen's help, Cao Yu successfully mastered more and more knowledge about Soul Tool, and his own Soul Power cultivation was also improving step by step.
While surprised by Cao Yu's astonishing talent, Hall Master Jing Hongchen was also happy for him.
Cao Yu's excellence proves that his judgment was correct, but the fact that this kid always pretends to be confused is a real headache for Jing Hongchen.
Cao Yu is neither short of money nor concerned about status; the only person he could possibly fancy is his own granddaughter Meng Hongchen.
It seems that subduing him will be extremely difficult!
The Soul Engineer assessment area was packed with people early in the morning; all the students from the school were here today to take the Soul Engineer level assessment.
Those who pass this assessment will receive a higher-level Soul Engineer badge.
Most of those who come here have to undergo a Level 7 Soul Engineer assessment, including He Caitou, Ye Xiaosheng, and Chen Beifeng. Among the girls are Meng Hongchen, Ju Zi, and Ke Ke.
Of course, there were others who underwent the Level 8 assessment, such as Ji Juechen, the Sword Maniac, but the teacher in charge of assessing him didn't think much of him.
This guy had failed the test many times under his supervision. The main reason was that Ji Juechen's Soul Power Level had not reached the Soul Saint level. Otherwise, passing the test would have been an extremely easy thing for him.
" Cao Yu, it's your turn." Not far away, Xuan Ziwen was holding a package of documents when he looked up at Cao Yu.
"Here you are, Teacher Xuan." Cao Yu naturally understood and ran up to him. Xuan Ziwen handed several pieces of materials to Cao Yu, and then took out a design drawing.
Several months ago, Cao Yu became Level 5 Soul Engineer.
So now he is facing the upcoming Level 6 Soul Engineer assessment, and the proctor in charge of his examination is, of course, Xuan Ziwen.
"You kid, are you sure you can handle this?" Xuan Ziwen couldn't help but tease. The master and apprentice had spent so much time together that their relationship was naturally very harmonious. Sometimes Xuan Ziwen would even take him out for meals together.
Cao Yu also took these opportunities to try to recruit Xuan Ziwen, after all, his innovation and research capabilities were obvious to all, and if he could be absorbed into the research institute, he would definitely play a huge role.
Therefore, Cao Yu often used scientific knowledge to entice Xuan Ziwen to join. After several months of hard work, Xuan Ziwen gradually became interested, instead of being resistant at first.
After all, the scientific products described by Cao Yu were incredibly tempting, and Cao Yu had even shown him a telephone.
Xuan Ziwen clearly remembered that even Mingde Hall couldn't crack this thing. What was even more infuriating was that not long after it came out, the Star Luo Empire issued a ban on selling the telephone to other empires.
This also means that telephones are practically nonexistent within the Sun Moon Empire; if one really wants to buy one, they have to go to the black market.
But the price was outrageously high, and ordinary people simply couldn't afford it.
Well, actually, Xuan Ziwen couldn't afford it.
He, who had worked at the college for so many years, suddenly broke down in tears.
Just as he was lost in thought, his train of thought was suddenly interrupted.
"I'm confident I can pass this assessment. Let's begin, Teacher Xuan."
Cao Yu indicated that his carving knife was itching to get started, and now was the perfect time to put his skills to use. Xuan Ziwen stopped arguing and gestured for him to begin. Cao Yu then sat quietly in his chair, with the drawing placed on the lab table.
The carving knife in his hand moved across the metal plate. Cao Yu had become quite proficient in creating both acceleration arrays and attack and defense arrays, thanks, of course, to the careful guidance of his girlfriend, Meng Hongchen.
About half an hour later, many people in the assessment area had passed the test and successfully obtained the Soul Engineer Badge. They did not linger any longer and got up to leave.
Of course, this included He Caitou. When he passed by Cao Yu, he did not disturb him, but silently cheered him on in his heart. Not long after, he also left.
The entire assessment only lasted about an hour, and only half of it had passed. Cao Yu wasn't in a hurry at all, calmly engraving the seal. Xuan Ziwen nodded at him with satisfaction; his composure alone deserved extra points.
Time quickly reached forty-five minutes, leaving only fifteen minutes for the assessment.
The carving knife in his hand turned again, and with a gentle upward lift, three different magic circles appeared on the panel.
These are acceleration, attack, and Soul Power storage arrays.
After assembling all the Soul Tool parts together, a brand-new level 6 Soul Cannon was completed.
After finishing all the finishing touches, Cao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from his chair.
Xuan Ziwen picked up the finished Soul Tool and examined it carefully. After confirming that it could be used normally and that its quality met the standards, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Very good, you did a good job. Keep this Level 6 Soul Engineer badge safe, don't lose it." He stuffed a beautifully decorated badge into Cao Yu's hand before recording the information on the data sheet.
Having successfully obtained the Level 6 Soul Engineer badge, Cao Yu was naturally very happy. He waved goodbye to Xuan Ziwen and said, "Then, Teacher Xuan, I'll be going now."
"Hmm, slow down, kid." Xuan Ziwen glanced at the form and called out, "Alright, next, Li Yue!"
