Chapter 27: Soul Power Surge! (Seeking Monthly Votes!)

Bang!

····

Level Twenty-Four!

Bang!

····

Level Twenty-Five!

Bang

····

Drip, drip~

As the water droplets fell in the bathroom, time began to slip away bit by bit.

Xu Nian'an's soul power was rising rapidly, and before long, it had risen to level twenty-six.

Bang!

····

Level Twenty-Seven!

When he reached level twenty-seven, light slowly began to shine outside the dormitory.

It was dawn, and Xu Nian'an could clearly perceive that the increase in his soul power seemed... to have slowed down significantly.

The dormitory next door

He Caitou got out of bed feeling refreshed, glanced at Xu Nian'an's dormitory, and felt a bit surprised.

"So tired yesterday, I didn't expect him to be able to get up so early today to report to the classroom."

"Someone who works this hard must have a very high martial soul talent, right?"

"Today is the first day of school for the new students, I can't be late either, youth~"

Not long after He Caitou left, another explosive sound came from inside Xu Nian'an's dormitory.

Bang!

····

Level Twenty-Eight!

Awoo, awoo, awoo, awoo~~~

Following a series of urgent cries from Er Gou, the white-blue light on the surface of Xu Nian'an's body began to slowly dissipate and fade away.

"Level twenty-eight soul power, did it finally stop at level twenty-eight?"

He glanced at Er Gou under the bathtub, then looked at the bathwater in the tub that had become murky.

Ugh~

During the time Xu Nian'an was bathing, in the Director Office of the Shrek Outer Court Martial Soul Department.

Du Weilun took advantage of the time before class started to call the head teacher of Grade One Class One over directly.

There was no helping it; Zhou Yi's teaching quality was indeed good, second to none in the same cohort, but her temper... was hard to describe.

Now, someone quite important, whom even the Dean was paying attention to, had entered her class.

If something went wrong, a conflict occurred, and they were expelled, that would be bad.

Although they could get them back even if they were expelled, Xu Nian'an's status was rather special; he was someone recommended by one of the financiers of the Shrek Outer Court.

He had to give a heads-up, and what's more, this student was also raising a student.

Raising a student was one thing, but this student wasn't even human...

Thinking of this, Du Weilun couldn't help but feel a wave of shame.

"Department Director, I don't know what the purpose of calling me here is?"

"There are fifteen minutes left until the first class, and I don't want to be late for my first class."

"So, if there are any issues, please express them within fifteen minutes if possible."

Still so concise in her speech; even though he was the Department Director, Zhou Yi didn't give him the slightest bit of face.

Thinking of this, Du Weilun pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Teacher Zhou, in this year's Grade One Class One, there are a few rather special people, so...."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi frowned.

"Department Director Du, are you trying to pull strings for me?"

"I'm sorry, no matter what the other party's status is or who they are, I, Zhou Yi, will only treat everyone equally."

"If the other party doesn't do well and doesn't meet my goals, then I'm sorry, I will not allow such a person to stay in my class!"

Hearing this, the eyes behind Du Weilun's glasses flashed with golden light.

"Treat everyone equally..., that's good."

Du Weilun had originally been thinking about how to bring up the Ice Crystal Saber-Toothed Tiger cub—a Soul Beast that had become her student—with Zhou Yi, but now it was fine.

As for whether Xu Nian'an could pass Zhou Yi's assessment, Du Weilun hadn't even considered it.

Because if even a genius like this couldn't pass her assessment, he thought, no one among the new students would be able to stay.

But a necessary explanation, mind you, Du Weilun felt he still needed to give a heads-up.

To avoid directly angering this genius who had been delivered to their doorstep.

Although on the surface, it seemed like a loss for Shrek Academy to cultivate people recommended by the Three Great Empires and then send them away.

It looked like the Three Great Empires were poaching Shrek Academy's talent and digging at Shrek Academy's foundation.

But as long as the hoe is swung well, it's not certain who is poaching whom; after all, this is Shrek, the number one academy on the continent!

"This is the identity file for those two students."

Looking at the file Du Weilun handed over, Zhou Yi did not reach out to take it immediately, but instead adjusted the glasses on the bridge of her nose first.

"Department Director Du, I said I would not take the back door."

"Also, time is almost up, I have to go teach my students."

Just as Zhou Yi was about to turn and leave, Du Weilun's voice rang out again.

"This is someone the Dean wants, and also a pre-selected core of the Shrek Outer Court..."

After hearing Du Weilun's words, Zhou Yi stopped her movements instantly.

She took the file and scanned it.

"Xu Nian'an, male, twelve, level twenty-three Great Soul Master..."

Seeing the introduction at the beginning, Zhou Yi frowned.

Such trash talent, yet still a pre-selected core of the Outer Court; is the Martial Soul Department out of people?

But Zhou Yi still suppressed her thoughts and continued to read further down.

"Martial soul Ice Black Tortoise, suspected to be Extreme Ice, purple thousand-year First Soul Ring, Second Soul Ring has already reached five thousand years."

"Suspected to be Twin Martial Souls, second martial soul ten-thousand-year First Soul Ring, can forcibly strip away the power of Evil Soul Masters!"

Seeing the explanation at the end of Xu Nian'an's file, Zhou Yi knew that perhaps everything before it was unimportant.

What made Xu Nian'an a pre-selected core of the Outer Court was the other party's ability to forcibly strip away the power of Evil Soul Masters.

Shrek Outer Court

Xu Nian'an leisurely took Er Gou out of the dormitory. When leaving, he thought for a moment, took out Er Gou's Identity Tag, and put a specially made iron chain on Er Gou.

This way, even if it got lost in Shrek Academy, it would likely be fine.

After all, Er Gou now had a Shrek Academy establishment; it was a student, after all.

At the very least, it wouldn't be dragged away and killed to be eaten as dog meat hotpot.

"Er Gou, walk on your own from now on, don't make me carry you."

After eating the Mysterious Water Pill, Er Gou's physique changed drastically, as if it had experienced a year of growth.

Now its size was already as large as a sub-adult dog.

After its size increased, it became difficult to carry and was dead weight; under these circumstances, Xu Nian'an naturally did not want to carry it.

"Huh, why is it so quiet today? Why is there no one around the streets?"

Just after walking out of the dormitory building and crossing several streets, Xu Nian'an discovered the anomaly of the day.

Because it wasn't that there were few people around, but that there was simply no one at all.

"Cough, cough, cough, young man, what are you doing here?"

Just at this moment, an aged voice rang out.

Xu Nian'an turned around; an old man wearing pale gold white-striped clothes, lying on a specially made recliner, opened his murky eyes and looked at him in confusion.

Looking at the old man staring at him under a large tree, Xu Nian'an was stunned. Without needing to think, this kind of old grandfather who seemed to be sweeping the floor would definitely not be simple.

"Walking the dog."

Xu Nian'an replied with two words indifferently, then kicked Er Gou on the side.

Signaling it to follow him, he had only walked a few steps when a leisurely voice came from behind.

"Young man, let me kindly remind you, class has already been in session for ten minutes."

After hearing the other party's words, Xu Nian'an's body stiffened. In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the words of the freshman registration teacher after he brought Er Gou to register yesterday.

Yesterday was the last day for freshman registration, so didn't that mean classes started today?

No wonder, no wonder there was no one in the dormitory building or on the streets; it turned out they had all gone to the school classrooms... Damn it!

A stern, ugly, and humorless face slowly appeared in Xu Nian'an's mind.

Just kidding, Xu Nian'an had of course never met Zhou Yi.

However, this did not stop him from imagining what Zhou Yi looked like wearing a mask.

"Er Gou, hurry up, keep up!"
