Jing Shaoyu encountered Gu Yue on his way home. He immediately rode his bike to her side and called out, "Gu Yue, where are you going? I'll give you a ride!"
"Hmph!" Gu Yue saw Jing Shaoyu, turned her head away, and let out a soft humph. Then, in a flash of silver light, she disappeared, which made Jing Shaoyu shake his head helplessly. He couldn't understand what this girl, who had lived for millions of years but was still as willful as a child, was thinking.
He had no choice but to go home by himself.
However, not long after Jing Shaoyu left, Gu Yue reappeared in the same spot. Her beautiful eyes flickered with seven-colored light, and she murmured, "Child of Nature... why is this?"
Jing Shaoyu couldn't know Gu Yue's murmuring to herself. He rode his bike and soon arrived home.
"Mom, Auntie, I'm back!" he shouted as he pushed his bike through the door.
Unsurprisingly, Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin were both at home. Seeing Jing Shaoyu return, Jing Ziyuan asked with a smile, "Your academy is also on holiday because of the typhoon?"
"Yes, yes!" Jing Shaoyu nodded and said, "Of course, Soul Masters aren't omnipotent after all!"
"Oh, that's true," Jing Ziyuan responded with a chuckle.
On the evening of the approaching typhoon, Tang Wulin came alone to his teacher Mang Tian's forging workshop in East Sea City.
Three spiritual objects were placed in front of him: a fiery red fruit exuding scorching flames, a fruit emitting a blue halo with a cool aura, and a bottle of dark purple blood. They were the Hundred-Year Crimson Flame Fruit, the Hundred-Year Ice Crystal Fruit, and the Hundred-Year Dragon Soul Beast Blood Essence.
"Old Tang, I'm ready!" Tang Wulin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
A faint golden figure appeared in front of Tang Wulin. He slowly said, "Then let's begin!"
Under Old Tang's guidance, Tang Wulin placed the two spiritual fruits into the dragon blood. After waiting for the three spiritual objects to react, he poured them all into his mouth in one gulp. Then, he immediately sat down cross-legged, his body constantly emitting heat as if it were on fire. His body began to tremble violently uncontrollably, and faint net-like goldenpatterns appeared on his body. His whole person was as red as a cooked shrimp.
In this small house, Tang Wulin began his first transformation.
Deep in East Sea Park, at the location of the plant Soul Beasts, Gu Yue walked slowly. Her pace was very slow and leisurely, as if she were strolling through a garden, very calm, not caring at all about the strong wind blowing in the dense forest or the raindrops falling from the sky.
She walked to the Machilus nanmu tree, stretched out a jade hand, and placed it on the thick and huge trunk of the Machilus nanmu tree. Then, she slowly closed her eyes, as if sensing something.
After a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of Gu Yue's mouth. She opened her eyes, a trace of colored halo flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she lightly opened her red lips, saying faintly, "Almost a thousand years, not bad, not bad!"
She left, leaving behind a group of trembling plant Soul Beasts.
In Jing Shaoyu's home, inside Jing Shaoyu's room, Jing Shaoyu sat on the bed with his legs crossed, his eyes naturally closed, and his hands placed on his Dantian. At his brow, a red and a blue light flickered alternately. At his Dantian, a high-speed rotating Soul Power Vortex made up of Soul Power was operating non-stop. Judging from the solidity of this Soul Power Vortex, it was infinitely close to the existence of a Soul Core.
A Soul Core was one of the necessary conditions for becoming an advanced Soul Master. Under normal circumstances, a Soul Master would only condense a Soul Core when reaching the Soul Saint realm. Someone like Jing Shaoyu, who had already compressed his Soul Power into a Soul Power Vortex at the Great Soul Master realm, might not appear even once in thousands of years.
The Soul Power Vortex was precisely the prerequisite for condensing a Soul Core. Only by first compressing the Soul Power into a Soul Power Vortex could one condense a Soul Core on this basis. Jing Shaoyu had already completed most of this. If everything went smoothly, then when he reached Three Rings, he would very likely successfully condense his first Soul Core.
A Soul Grandmaster with a Soul Core, hehe, just thinking about it was extremely heaven-defying.
However, Jing Shaoyu was not concerned about the Soul Core at this time. When he fought against Gu Yue this afternoon, he was surprised to find that his Martial Soul seemed to have undergone some special change. This change was not reflected in the ability of the Martial Soul, but in the Martial Soul's perception of specific individuals.
In short, his Origin Spirit Martial Soul seemed to be able to resonate with Gu Yue's Martial Soul, thereby achieving a synchronized fusion effect, similar to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
He wasn't sure because the contact time was too short. He was a little uncertain. Logically speaking, Gu Yue, as the Silver Dragon King, had a completely fake Martial Soul, so how could there be a possibility of Martial Soul fusion with him? Even if there was fusion, it should be with the Gold Dragon King, not with his Origin Spirit. This really made him feel inexplicable.
After thinking for a moment, Jing Shaoyu decided to personally find Gu Yue to experiment after the typhoon ended.
Still on this evening, in the Dean's office of East Sea Academy.
Long Hengxu, the Dean of the Intermediate Department, was reporting the work situation of this afternoon to Yu Zhen, the Dean of East Sea Academy.
"...It seems that our East Sea Academy has truly recruited many geniuses this time!" Yu Zhen exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with excitement and joy.
"Indeed, Dean!" Long Hengxu first agreed with Yu Zhen's words, then his eyes shifted slightly, and he said, "Dean, I have a suggestion. Could we establish a special class in the first grade?"
"Oh? Tell me about it." Yu Zhen showed an interested expression and raised his hand, signaling Long Hengxu to continue.
"Dean, as you've seen, this year's first grade is stronger than any previous year. There are seven Great Soul Masters alone. Even the third and fourth grades can't match that level," Long Hengxu said. "These students are all geniuses. Ordinary teaching has no meaning for such talents anymore.
"So, I was thinking, instead of the existing five classes in the first grade, we could establish a special class. The academy would provide the best teachers to specifically teach these gifted first-year students. From the academy's Intermediate Department to the future Senior Department, they will be in the academy for at least eight or nine years. As long as we guide them well, our East Sea Academy will surely become famous in the Skysea Alliance, and even the entire Federation!"
A thoughtful look appeared in Yu Zhen's eyes. Undoubtedly, he was moved by Long Hengxu's words. Establishing a genius class specifically to cultivate geniuses, concentrating the academy's best resources to nurture these talents, with the talent they have shown now, they will surely shine in the future, thereby greatly increasing the academy's reputation.
Reputation is a crucial determining factor for an academy. With a reputation, it can recruit more students. The more students it recruits, the greater the probability of producing talents. The more talents it cultivates, the greater the academy's reputation. In this way, an academy can prosper and even dominate the changes in the continent's situation.
There are real-world examples of this: Shrek Academy!
East Sea Academy is located in East Sea City. Although East Sea City is one of the eighteen first-tier cities in the Sun Moon Federation, East Sea Academy can only be considered a second or third-rate academy. The reason is simple: the quality of enrollment is not good, and its reputation is too small. Not many students are willing to study at East Sea Academy.
Currently, almost all of the students enrolled in East Sea Academy are locals from East Sea City, which is undoubtedly a dilemma. If they can seize this opportunity to make their East Sea Academy famous, then breaking the predicament faced by East Sea Academy will be as easy as flipping a hand!
"Then, how do you plan to allocate the teaching staff?" Although Yu Zhen was tempted, he still maintained his composure and rationality, and he asked a key question.
The most crucial thing in establishing a special class is never resources. As the only large academy in East Sea City, East Sea Academy undoubtedly has the largest share of educational resources in East Sea City. The factors that affect the special class have always been the source of students and the teaching staff.
Now, there is no need to worry about the source of students. Seven Great Soul Master-level freshmen plus a suspected Origin Spirit Martial Soul One Ring Soul Master are enough. The only thing Yu Zhen is worried about is the teaching staff. To teach the special class well, an excellent teacher is undoubtedly a must.
Long Hengxu had already planned for this, and he said without hesitation: "Transfer Teacher Wu Zhangkong to be the special class's homeroom teacher. Dean, you also know Teacher Wu's strength. His teaching ability was also fully demonstrated in this Promotion Tournament. In addition, he comes from Shrek Academy and is fully qualified and capable of serving as the special class's homeroom teacher."
"Hmm!" Yu Zhen said thoughtfully, "I agree with your suggestion in principle, and I will submit it to the academy's board of directors for research. Alright, you can go back now."
Long Hengxu respectfully said, "Dean, then I'll leave first."
The new book is just a seedling and needs care! Seeking investment, monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets! Thank you, everyone!
