Enrollment at Sun Moon Royal Empire Academy

Qin Fang wore plain robes and walked alone through the bustling crowd without the slightest hint of panic. This scene was nothing much.

Following the flow of people to the registration area, Qin Fang was just about to pay thirty Gold Soul Coins and fill in his information when a mentor at the desk stopped him and said quietly, "Kid, come with me."

Inside the registration office, the mentor whispered, "Saint Son, everything has been arranged. These are your documents; you can enroll directly. This is the key to the Single Dormitory specially requested for you. Oh, and Lao Li came as well. He'll be responsible for your meals."

Qin Fang looked over the application form with interest.

Name: Qin Fang.

Age: Ten.

Martial Soul: Jade Skeleton.

Talent: Innate Full Soul Power.

Soul Power Level: Thirty-third level.

Soul Engineer Level: Level two.

Qin Fang looked at the burly man and asked, "Mentor, isn't the age written incorrectly? I'm only seven."

The mentor laughed. "Haha, Saint Son, Scorpion Tiger Douluo specifically instructed us to make you older, so you wouldn't seem too monstrous and make the other soul masters feel inferior."

After hearing that, Qin Fang felt it made perfect sense. He bowed to the mentor and strode into Sun Moon Royal Empire Academy.

At that moment, an ill-timed voice rang out, thick with suspicion.

"Damn, there's definitely something shady going on! Why didn't his documents need to be reviewed before he was allowed straight into the academy?"

Today was registration day. Under normal circumstances, the review process took three days. Only after everything was completed would admission notices be issued, allowing students to enroll.

The man pointed at Qin Fang's retreating back, his eyes full of resentment. He was a middle-aged man whose child had just finished filling out the forms, only to be rejected for having insufficient Talent. Hmph, it was obviously because their connections weren't strong enough.

How could he possibly remain calm after seeing Qin Fang enroll so easily?

"Yeah, why doesn't he need to be reviewed?"

"We need an explanation! This is blatant favoritism!"

The registration mentor said coldly, "Why? Because he has Innate Full Soul Power. Is that reason enough?"

The moment those words were spoken, the parents immediately fell silent. They simply couldn't compare.

Even the middle-aged man who had been the angriest slunk away dejectedly.

After enrolling, Qin Fang wandered freely around the academy, casually taking in the beautiful scenery.

Blue lakes, lush green trees, and distinctive teaching buildings—every single one was a sight to behold.

At noon, Qin Fang followed the map back to his Single Dormitory.

The Single Dormitory was located in a high-rise building, resembling the upscale residential complexes from his previous life. Its spotless glass windows and various Living Soul Tools were refreshing to behold.

Qin Fang's dormitory number was 2-1-1301.

Lao Li had already been waiting outside for quite some time. Smiling, he said, "Saint Son, wait any longer, and this food won't be edible."

Qin Fang smiled and invited Uncle Li into the dormitory. "Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Li."

Lao Li replied with a smile, "Being able to cook for the Saint Son is also a tremendous help to my culinary skills. Saint Son, hurry and eat while it's hot."

Qin Fang did not stand on ceremony. He took out a soup bowl from Lao Li's food box and began eating by himself.

Lao Li watched from the side, his eyes full of pleased approval.

For a chef, what could bring more joy than seeing a diner clean every last bit of food from their plate?

Lao Li packed away the bowls, chopsticks, and food box, then left contentedly.

Only then did Qin Fang inspect the Single Dormitory. It was a sixty-square-meter unit with one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom. Everything had been fully equipped; the table, bed, and other furnishings were all in place. It looked rather nice, with beige walls and pure white floor tiles that were pleasing to the eye.

Qin Fang stood up and took out some daily necessities from his Storage Soul Tool, putting them away.

"Ah! Isn't that the owner and head chef of Sun Moon Workshop? Why is he at our academy? And why is he carrying a food box? Is he delivering food?"

Several mentors walking inward from the Single Dormitory stared in astonishment at Lao Li as he headed outside, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Besides students, the Single Dormitory high-rise also housed a group of unmarried mentors.

"What? That can't be possible, Mentor Li. Did you see wrong? I remember you invited Teacher Wang to Sun Moon Workshop last time. Didn't you have to reserve half a year in advance just to get a table?"

"Exactly, Xiao Li. You must have seen wrong. As the most high-end dining leader in the Sun Moon Empire, Sun Moon Workshop has never been known to offer delivery services, much less have its owner deliver food personally."

"Besides, who could possibly have that much face to make the owner of Sun Moon Workshop personally deliver food?"

At this point, the young mentor who had spoken earlier began to doubt himself. Had he really seen wrong?

Qin Fang still had no idea what kind of colossal existence was personally delivering all three of his meals to his door every day without fail.

That afternoon, with nothing else to do, Qin Fang meditated and began cultivating.

That night, Lao Li deliberately changed his appearance before bringing Qin Fang his meal.

There were simply too many familiar faces at Sun Moon Royal Empire Academy, all regular customers of Sun Moon Workshop. To avoid causing trouble for the Saint Son, it was better to disguise himself.

"So I really did see wrong."

The mentor was remarkably persistent, waiting for Lao Li at the main entrance of the dormitory building. Looking closely, he found that although the man resembled him by seventy or eighty percent, he definitely was not the same person.

Lao Li was straightforward. Aside from cooking, he neither asked about nor spoke of anything else.

Qin Fang had just sent Lao Li away when, before he could rest, he heard urgent knocking at the door. Puzzled, Qin Fang got up to open it. Who could it be? He didn't know anyone here.

The moment he opened the door, he saw Ju Zi in an egg-yellow long dress.

Ju Zi's eyes were full of a knowing smile. "Qin Fang, I knew it was you."

Seeing Ju Zi, Qin Fang smiled as well and hurriedly said, "Senior Ju Zi, long time no see. Come in, please."

Qin Fang busied himself making tea and asked, "Senior Ju Zi, how did you know I was here?"

Ju Zi deliberately wiped the smile from her face and furrowed her brows. Rather than answer Qin Fang's question, she gave a soft huff and said unhappily, "Qin Fang, do you still remember our agreement?"

An embarrassed smile appeared on Qin Fang's face. Scratching his head, he said, "Senior Ju Zi, I was in the wrong about that. I stood you up, but there really was a reason. Listen while I explain."

Ju Zi folded her arms across her chest. "Fine, explain. We'll see whether I'm satisfied."

Qin Fang began making up a story. "Eight months ago, I was studying Inscription Knowledge in the library of the Affiliated Elementary Academy when an older sister noticed my Talent as a Soul Engineer. She took me as her disciple and carefully taught me about Soul Tools."

"That delayed our appointment. This time, I went into seclusion for eight months and became a level-two Soul Engineer in one go. Only then did my teacher let me leave."

After hearing this, the resentment in Ju Zi's heart faded somewhat. Qin Fang sounded very sincere, and she had evidence as well. It probably was not a lie.

Qin Fang washed some sweet fruit and said, "By the way, Senior Ju Zi, you still haven't told me how you knew I was here."
