The test results came quickly. Under Huo Yuhao's deliberate control, his grades remained mediocre, and the teachers didn't pay much attention to him.

"Alright, that concludes today's test. The teachers will then guide you to your dormitories. The college has provided each of you with a single room, complete with a bathroom. We hope you will enjoy your time here over the next two and a half years. Your school uniforms will be handed to you tomorrow."

The dormitory area is located behind the teaching area. Compared to the Shrek Academy, the dormitory area here is much larger, and it is detailed on the map, which records the various facilities in the dormitory area.

The ten students were assigned to the top floor of the sixth-grade dormitory area, which was a fairly quiet place. Just as Director Lin Jiayi had said, each of them received a 20-square-meter room, complete with a bathroom for showering and relieving themselves. While not luxurious, it was quite clean and tidy, and certainly much better than the outer dormitory of the Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao casually glanced around; the accommodations here were indeed quite nice. He then took out the luxurious bedding he had prepared beforehand.

Several Slime tentacles immediately extended from beneath his feet, skillfully making up Huo Yuhao's bed; clearly, this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.

Even the Slime tentacles weren't idle; they split off small spheres and began cleaning up everything around them, quickly tidying up the surroundings quite nicely.

After doing all this, Huo Yuhao took the hot tea handed to him by the Slime, gently pushed open the dormitory window, and looked at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy coming and going outside.

It sounds like it would be incredibly interesting.

After finishing his tea, Huo Yuhao closed the window and sat down at the table.

He muttered to himself, "These things are still too simple. If we could get our hands on the core Soul Tool Technology of the Sun Moon Empire, I'm afraid 'You' and her subordinates wouldn't be unable to create those other things either."

He took out paper and pen from his Storage Soul Tool and quickly began to record the Soul Tool he had detected that day.

Huo Yuhao wasn't worried about anyone spying on him; he never turned off his Spiritual Detection to ensure no one was watching him before doing these things.

The structure of Soul Tool is quite complex, and there can be no deviation.

Huo Yuhao's powerful Spiritual Power and his honed physical control made dealing with these Core Array of cake.

Although Huo Yuhao didn't understand the uses of these Core Array, he learned them almost instantly thanks to his immense Spiritual Power and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his mind.

It can be said that as long as Huo Yuhao has a little knowledge of soul guidance, he can master those so-called Soul Tool, and even making his own Soul Tool would not be a problem at all.

It only took him about five minutes to record all the Core Array and interconnected structures he had seen.

After doing all that, Huo Yuhao lay down on the bed and took out a book about the basics of Soul Engineer to read.

In his view, there are some things that one should always learn in order to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

Ultimately finding it troublesome, Huo Yuhao instructed within his Sea of Consciousness, "Silkworm, scan this book. I'll absorb and learn from it directly."

Within the Sea of Consciousness, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's two lantern-like eyes were almost closed, and thick dark circles were already appearing on its snow-white face. It was constantly yawning, "Understood, Boss."

Then it turned to the other side and said to Electrolux, who was lying on a recliner in the distance, which was condensed through Spiritual Power, " Elder Yi, I'll stop the boss's magic analysis for a bit."

Electrolux chuckled and said, "Hahaha, little bug, I'm not in a hurry. After all, your analytical magic is enough for Yuhao for now. Having you around saves a lot of effort. By that logic, you could be half my disciple."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked at the leisurely Electrolux with envy and exclaimed, "Ahhh! I really want to rest! I haven't slept for ten days! I want to sleep for a while!"

"Little bug, keep your voice down, don't disturb this old man's peaceful slumber."

Electrolux smiled, reached out and made a graceful grasp in the air, and a book immediately flew out from the vast bookshelves in the distance and landed in his hand.

The book in his hand had seven large characters written on its cover, "Postpartum Care for Soul Beast ".

Electrolux clicked his tongue twice, muttering, "How come this giant insect even kept some useless books? Well... they do seem somewhat useful. I wonder if those things can be used too. I remember they could supposedly achieve that. Hmm... if that's the case, magic will be easier..."

In the end, Huo Yuhao stepped in to comfort Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and told it to get a good sleep after finishing the rest of the work.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was overjoyed and burst into tears, patting her chest and promising, "Don't worry, boss, I'll definitely complete the task to the required quality and quantity. You'll see tomorrow morning."

The purple hue in the distance to the east brought a refreshing and invigorating feeling, causing Huo Yuhao to exhale a long breath. A faint white mist emerged from his mouth, gradually taking shape and enveloping his body.

With a final exhale, it slowly dissipated into two wisps of white smoke that drifted out of the window. The entire room was instantly filled with a faint, pleasant fragrance.

The white frost on the potted flowers outside the window reflects a delicate light under the sunlight.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, instantly digesting the knowledge in his mind, and the dark purple halo in his Spirit Eyes gradually subsided.

After getting up, the Slime Bodysuit instantly helped him wash up and get dressed before merging back into Huo Yuhao's body.

Each dormitory building at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy has its own dining hall, and the food is better for the higher the year. The sixth-year dormitory building where Huo Yuhao and his classmates live is undoubtedly the best place to eat besides Illustrious Virtue Hall.

However, Huo Yuhao requested that he not eat, as he believed that maintaining the body's necessary energy expenditure was the most suitable for his physical condition.

Of course, indulging your cravings sometimes is perfectly fine.

Inside the restaurant, He Caitou immediately approached Huo Yuhao and asked, " Little Brother Huo, how are you settling in?"

Huo Yuhao spoke frankly, "Each has their own strengths."

He Caitou nodded and said, " Little Brother Huo is indeed concise. By the way, I remember Little Brother Huo isn't Soul Engineer, is he?"

"I studied it systematically yesterday, and I think it went pretty well."

He Caitou chuckled, "That's good. Little Brother Huo, feel free to ask me anything you don't understand."

The efficiency of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was indeed very high. When they returned to their dormitory after breakfast, two sets of school uniforms for each of them had already been delivered, and they were notified to gather on the first floor of the sixth-grade teaching building.

The sixth-grade teaching building was no smaller than the first-grade building they had visited the previous night, but they already knew that there were only a few dozen students in the entire sixth grade, all of whom were at least level five Soul Engineer. What could a few dozen people possibly do using two such enormous teaching buildings?

Lin Jiayi, the director of teaching affairs, was already waiting there, with ten teachers of varying ages standing behind him.

Lin Jiayi explained in detail the various aspects of the Shrek Academy students' future studies and intentionally separated everyone.

Essentially, the goal was to use this method to better monitor Shrek.

Huo Yuhao didn't care about any of this.

"To ensure fairness in the allocation of teachers, each teacher will draw lots to choose who will mentor one of you. The drawing of lots will now begin."

As he spoke, Lin Jiayi took a tray from a staff member, on which were some folded slips of paper. The ten teachers filed out one by one, each taking one from the tray.

The first person to be selected was the youngest of all ten teachers, who looked to be only in his early thirties.

" Huo Yuhao." He glanced at the note in his hand and immediately called out the name.
