" Soul Engineer?" Qian Chen turned to look at Wang Dong, pondering the question she had raised. Was he a Soul Engineer? In the past, he naturally wouldn't have chosen this path. While Soul Tool were an inevitable development of the times, a person's energy and time were ultimately limited, making it impossible to excel in everything. Moreover, his talent for learning Soul Tool wasn't particularly outstanding in the past.
But things are different now. With the special Soul Bone, the Eye of the Mind, he can now see the Soul Tool Core Array clearly. With his three Sea of Consciousness operating simultaneously, one can continue cultivating his Soul Power, another can handle daily affairs, and it is not difficult to set aside another sea to learn how to create Soul Tool.
Wang Dong felt him staring at her for several seconds, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Teacher, I was just asking casually, please don't be angry, okay?"
"Haha, Xiao Dong, I'm not angry. You've given your teacher a lot of inspiration. It's not impossible for me to become a Soul Engineer," Qian Chen said confidently.
Seeing that Qian Chen wasn't angry, Wang Dong became happy. "Great! I believe that Teacher can definitely become a powerful Soul Engineer too."
Wang Dong wasn't lying; she genuinely believed Qian Chen could become a powerful Soul Engineer. Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, was much more rational. She also felt that a person's energy was ultimately limited, and it was impossible to become both Soul Grandmaster and a powerful Soul Engineer at the same time. However, Xiao Xiao didn't say anything discouraging. Grabbing Qian Chen's arm, she said crisply, "I also believe that Teacher can become a powerful Soul Engineer."
Qian Chen felt a little strange. This Wang Dong's personality was really peculiar. He said whatever he thought, and he also had a kind of likable personality. He wondered how the Clear Sky Sect had cultivated such a person.
What he didn't know was that Wang Dong's incomplete soul made him straightforward. Furthermore, Qian Chen's appearance disrupted Tang San's original plans, Tang San feared that the current Wang Dong would be unable to attract Huo Yuhao.
Tang San could only control Wang Dong through his Divine Sense, making her actively approach Huo Yuhao and give Huo Yuhao unprecedented care. Qian Chen was Huo Yuhao's teacher, so Tang San naturally controlled Wang Dong to befriend Qian Chen as well. In this way, intentionally or unintentionally, Wang Dong began to tend towards a people-pleasing personality.
When Qian Chen brought Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao back to Class 1's classroom, the entire classroom was empty. Qian Chen frowned. "Where did all the students in Class 1 go?"
Xiao Xiao suddenly had a bright idea and said, "Teacher, if I'm not mistaken, they were probably called to the playground to run by Zhou Yi. Once, Zhou Yi had to leave unexpectedly, so she just made us run a hundred laps on the playground. By the time we finished, she had taken care of her business."
Wang Dong immediately added, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what Zhou Yi did last time."
"Okay, let's go to the playground."
The three quickly arrived at the Outer Court playground. Sure enough, all sixty or so students from Class One were sweating profusely on the track. Qian Chen spotted Huo Yuhao at a glance; there were actually three or four female classmates running alongside him.
Ever since Qian Chen told him that two men with Martial Soul Fusion Skill would begin to change and eventually become androgynous monsters, Huo Yuhao had taken it to heart. As soon as he started running today, he took the initiative to talk to his female classmates who were usually on good terms with him, offering them help and asking about their well-being, hoping that one of them could become his girlfriend.
As for Qian Guyi, Jiang Nannan, and the adorable Xiao Xiao, he had thought about them, but ultimately felt that he was not good enough for them and that it was better to be realistic.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's actions, Qian Chen was secretly pleased and couldn't help but think, "This kid is teachable."
He channeled his Soul Power, precisely delivering his voice to the ears of every student in Class One: "Attention, Class One students of the first year, I am Qian Chen, the Dean of Students of the Martial Soul Department. From now on, I will be taking over Class One and temporarily serving as your homeroom teacher. The running arranged by Zhou Yi is now suspended. After walking two laps around the playground, all of you should return to your dormitories to change into clean school uniforms and then return to the classroom for class. You have half an hour."
Upon hearing this, the students who were running froze, hardly believing their ears. The next moment, the entire playground erupted in deafening cheers. Zhou Yi was gone! We had a new homeroom teacher! All the students turned in the direction of the sound. Qian Chen waved to them. "I've given you all plenty of time. Prepare well, see you in half an hour." After saying that, he led Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao back to the classroom.
After the three returned to the classroom, Qian Chen learned in detail about the class's learning progress and situation. Soon, half an hour later, all the students in Class One had returned to the classroom and were sitting neatly in their respective seats.
Qian Chen stood on the podium with an air of authority, and said loudly, "My name is Qian Chen. I am the Dean of Instruction for the Martial Soul Department 'Outer Court, and also your class's temporary homeroom teacher."
The entire class stood up and saluted in unison, "Hello, Teacher Qian!"
Qian Chen nodded. "Alright, please sit down." The students then sat down in unison. He continued, "Although I won't expel students without cause, there are a few situations where, according to regulations, all students will be expelled: those who are seriously disobedient; those whose freshman assessment ranking is below half; and those whose Soul Power has not reached level 20 by the start of the next semester."
He glanced around the classroom, his tone softening yet firm. "I've looked around, and we currently have sixty-six students. My goal is that when next semester starts, we'll still have sixty-six students."
These words stirred up the entire class. Zhou Yi was like a sword hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment and end their studies at the Shrek Academy. Students expelled from the Shrek Academy would be ridiculed to some extent when they returned to their hometowns, and their names would be a dark stain on their history.
Qian Chen opened the textbook and officially began the lesson. He lectured vividly, occasionally asking students to share their insights on a particular Soul Master concept, which then extended to the application of Soul Skill and combat techniques. By the end of the lesson, each student had gained something different.
During a break in the lecture, Qian Chen's gaze swept across the classroom, and suddenly his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. Huo Yuhao was surrounded by three or four female classmates who were quite good-looking, but the ones sitting closest to him were Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong. Moreover, Qian Chen could clearly see that Huo Yuhao's figure was noticeably closer to Wang Dong.
Qian Chen gritted his teeth secretly. This was absolutely unacceptable. Huo Yuhao was the chosen one of this era, and he had to be firmly won over. In the final battle against Tang San, he had to be the vanguard force attacking Tang San, and he absolutely could not be a neutral party torn between emotions and family ties.
He immediately drew upon a portion of his Sea of Consciousness to devise a solution to this problem. As the bell rang, a simple preliminary plan had already taken shape in his mind. Qian Chen called out to the three of them, " Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, you stay behind."
"Yes, teacher," the three replied in unison.
Soon, all the students in Class One left the classroom, leaving only Qian Chen and three disciples. Qian Chen knew that it must have been Tang San's doing to have Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong living together. If he directly tried to forcefully change Huo Yuhao's room, he would inevitably anger Tang San and bring about consequences that he could not bear.
" Yuhao, Xiao Dong, Xiao Xiao, go back to your dorms and pack your things. You're coming with me to Sea God Island tonight." Qian Chen's tone was calm, yet carried an unyielding decisiveness.
