"Beep, beep, beep, beep..." The Soul Guidance Physical Assessment Device suddenly emitted a strange sound. The teacher in charge of recording the data exclaimed in disbelief, "Data corruption! The Soul Guidance Physical Assessment Device is malfunctioning..."
Lin Jiayi swallowed hard in surprise, glanced at the documents in disbelief, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
As the director of the teaching affairs office at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, he had never seen such outrageous information.
So, he immediately shared the same thought as the teacher who was taking notes.
That means the Soul Guidance Physical Testing Device is broken.
Lin Jiayi immediately said to Huo Yuhao, "Excuse me, could you please come down for a moment? This data isn't displaying correctly; let's check it first."
Huo Yuhao nodded, stepped down, and stood to the side.
Lin Jiayi immediately gave a wink to the teacher taking notes, who immediately understood.
He skillfully activated the Soul Guidance Physical Testing Device and inserted half of his body inside.
Soon, the teacher emerged from inside, utterly shocked, his voice trembling, "Director Lin... this... this Soul Tool seems to be broken; the Core Array inside is shattered!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiayi wondered if he had misheard. Had something gone wrong?
Or is it that the Core Array inside shattered? This is simply a joke.
He knew perfectly well that the Core Array within were made of rare metals, and there were so Core Array to ensure stability.
The metal materials used were all top-grade rare metals, and this Soul Guidance Physical Testing Device was clearly Level 7 Soul Tool.
It shattered just because I checked Huo Yuhao's body?
Lin Jiayi immediately calmed down, his eyes narrowed, and he said with a warning in his tone, " Teacher Wang, you can't just say things like that! Don't joke with me, this is a Level 7 Soul Tool, how could it break so easily?"
The teacher taking notes was also startled, but still insisted tremblingly, "Director Lin, I'm sure I didn't see wrong, the Core Array inside is already shattered... If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself..."
Seeing his insistence, Lin Jiayi lost confidence and had no choice but to stride over and look at the Soul Guidance Physical Testing Device.
When he saw it clearly, he was completely unsettled.
Inside the metal shell, numerous fragments were scattered, and countless Core Array were completely destroyed.
Based on a rough assessment, this Level 7 Soul Tool is beyond repair.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Jiayi's eyes. He turned around and went straight to Huo Yuhao's side, grabbing his arm.
He then exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?" and muttered, "It really is level 40, no... wait..."
Huo Yuhao glanced at him and interrupted, "Yes, I'm level 40 now."
"Level 40, and you still haven't acquired Soul Ring?"
"Hiss... That's strange..."
"Um, what's wrong, teacher?"
Lin Jiayi awkwardly released Huo Yuhao's hand and said, "It's alright. You guys go to the other teachers for the other test. This Soul Guidance Physical Testing Device must have been used too many times, so the data is inaccurate and it's broken."
"It was just broken. I thought something had happened."
The Shrek members breathed a sigh of relief and no longer took Huo Yuhao's outrageous information to heart.
Without giving anyone else a chance to speak, Lin Jiayi had the teachers lead the Shrek students out.
Lin Jiayi stared at the broken Soul Guidance Physical Assessment Device in front of him, completely baffled as to what the problem was.
In the end, he had no choice but to report the matter to Jing Hongchen.
After receiving Jing Hongchen's reply, he immediately went to the door.
Soon, Jing Hongchen arrived at the physical testing room.
If it were just a damaged Level 7 Soul Tool, it wouldn't warrant him, the Illustrious Virtue Hall, making the trip in person.
However, because this matter involved Shrek Academy, he still rushed over immediately.
Jing Hongchen reached out and touched the Soul Guidance Physical Testing Device, his eyes tightly closed, his expression solemn.
Lin Jiayi stood to the side, barely daring to breathe, utterly respectful.
After a long pause, Jing Hongchen withdrew his hand and said in a deep voice, "Tell me what happened at the time."
Lin Jiayi immediately spoke up and explained what had happened.
Jing Hongchen raised his fingertips and rhythmically tapped the metal casing as he pondered.
After a long pause, Lin Jiayi finished speaking to Jing Hongchen without missing a single detail, and then tentatively asked, "Hall Master, is this because we've been using it for too long, causing the Core Array to overheat?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen flung his sleeves, snorted coldly, and cursed, " Lin Jiayi, have you completely lost your mind about Soul Tool?! It's so obvious, the damage was caused by the detection overload exceeding the device's limit, don't tell me you couldn't see it!"
Lin Jiayi immediately fell to the ground with a thud, hurriedly apologizing, "Master, I... I personally checked that student; he's only level 40, and he doesn't even have a Soul Ring yet. I really can't believe it..."
Upon hearing Lin Jiayi's words, Jing Hongchen finally restrained her aura, looked at him coldly, and said, "Are you sure?"
Lin Jiayi looked up and saw that Jing Hongchen's anger had subsided somewhat. He nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes! I'm sure, Hall Master, I'm absolutely certain that the student named Huo Yuhao is really only level 40."
Jing Hongchen slowly withdrew his aura and waved his hand at him, saying, "Alright, I understand. We'll just have Illustrious Virtue Hall re-engrave the Core Array and install it later."
"Let's just consider this as natural damage."
Lin Jiayi, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, clasped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "I understand, Master."
Jing Hongchen didn't say anything more, but simply reminded them, "We need to keep a close eye on the students of the Shrek Academy. From today onwards, we must secretly monitor everything they do. If possible, it's best not to let them leave the academy grounds."
Lin Jiayi spoke up, reminding him, "Master, if this gets discovered, it will be difficult to explain to Shrek Academy."
Jing Hongchen put her hands behind her back, slowly walked outside, and looked at the Shrek Academy group still testing in the distance, a ruthless glint flashing in her eyes.
"Since you understand, then keep things discreet. Otherwise, I can replace the head of student affairs at any time."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiayi broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Master, I understand. I will definitely handle this matter well!"
Seeing his expression, Jing Hongchen nodded in satisfaction, patted his shoulder, and said with a kind smile, " Xiao Lin, remember this: none of the students at Shrek are simple. Their strength will only exceed our imagination. As for that student, Huo Yuhao, keep a close eye on him."
"The fact that he could shatter a Level 7 Soul Tool already shows he's no ordinary person. If possible, find out what he possesses."
After saying this, Jing Hongchen strode away.
Unbeknownst to the two, Huo Yuhao, watching them with utter boredom from a distance in the testing area, smiled helplessly.
