Arriving at the gates of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Fu Yu’s gaze swept across the bustling enrollment registration point.
Even though it was already the final days of enrollment, the registration point at the main gate was still crowded with parents and students who had rushed there from various provinces of the Sun Moon Empire.
Fu Yu followed the order and walked to the end of the line to begin waiting.
After about half an hour, he finally reached a registration desk that seemed to be managed by a student.
“Hello, could you please help me register?” As Fu Yu spoke, he took a Recommendation Token out of his storage soul tool and placed it on the desk.
However, the student at the registration desk seemed quite exhausted; he kept his head down, looking at the Registration Book, and didn’t pay much attention to Fu Yu’s movements.
“Name and place of origin?” The student yawned as he flipped to a new page.
“Fu Yu, from the Heaven Dou Empire.” As soon as the words “Fu Yu” and “Heaven Dou Empire” were spoken, they not only jolted the originally drowsy registration student awake but also attracted the gazes of the surrounding parents and students who hadn’t yet left.
Someone from the Heaven Dou Empire actually coming to register at the Sun Moon Empire’s Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was truly a rare occurrence.
Although the academy’s announcement stated that they welcomed Spirit Master geniuses from other Empires to actively apply, they had actually seen very few people do so.
At this moment, a parent nearby said disdainfully, “Don’t those people from The Three Empires of the Original Continent think Spirits are number one in the world?
Why would they come to our Sun Moon Empire to study spirit tools?” “Could they be here to surreptitiously learn our knowledge?” Another parent nearby heard this and echoed the sentiment.
“Haha, who knows?
I’ve been to the Heaven Dou Empire; its environment is just like our Sun Moon Empire was thousands of years ago.
After all these years, they haven’t made any progress at all.” The discussion between the two made the surrounding parents burst into laughter together.
However, this was just the parents’ discussion; the students who had come to register didn’t harbor as much malice.
A child of about six or seven years old looked at Fu Yu with a scrutinizing gaze.
“I wonder how high this Heaven Dou Empire person’s spirit power is?
Everyone says those three Empires and Shrek Academy far surpass us in terms of Spirit Masters, but I simply don’t believe it.” His words also drew a rebuttal from a peer of the same age nearby.
“Heh, this is the registration office for the Elementary Division of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy; he must be the same age as us.” “But look at his physique; it’s clearly the physical growth that only happens after absorbing a first spirit ring.” But as soon as this was said, the child who had just spoken was immediately snapped at by the other.
“How is that possible?
Obtaining a first spirit ring at six years old—is he Innate Rank 9 or Innate Full Spirit Power?
If he’s such a Genius, why isn’t he studying in the Heaven Dou Empire?
He’s clearly just naturally tall!
Anyway, I don’t believe he’s already a Spirit Master!” “And if he is a Spirit Master?
Do you dare to bet?” “Fine, a bet it is!
If he’s a Spirit Master, I’ll…
I’ll eat this pile right here on the spot!” Fu Yu listened to the bustling discussions around him, filled with malice and mockery, but his face remained expressionless.
Fu Yu had expected this reaction from the people of the Sun Moon Empire; after all, the two sides had been old rivals fighting on and off for thousands of years.
Even though there hadn’t been any wars for the last hundred years and attitudes had softened slightly, there was still no lack of malice and hostility among the commoners.
“Hello, can I register now?” Fu Yu’s voice spoke again, waking the dazed registration student as if from a dream.
He then noticed the Recommendation Token on the table and stammered slightly.
“This…
I can’t make the call for your situation.
I need to find a teacher.
Please wait a moment.” Although the enrollment point was mainly run by senior students, teachers were still on standby nearby to handle unexpected situations that students couldn’t manage.
Seeing Fu Yu nod in agreement, the registration student quickly ran to the nearby Duty Office and brought back the teacher on duty.
After the student explained the situation, the duty teacher quickly arrived at the enrollment desk.
He picked up the token from the table, examined it several times, and nodded.
“Hello, I am the teacher on duty at the enrollment office, Teacher Li Hu.” While speaking to Fu Yu, Teacher Li Hu also used his strength as a Spirit Saint to secretly probe him, and the feedback made him nod inwardly.
His talent was excellent.
If the conditions were met, Teacher Li Hu would definitely want to keep Fu Yu.
As a mentor at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and a High-level Soul Engineer of the Empire, they didn’t actually harbor the same hostility toward Spirit Masters from the three Empires as the commoners did.
Or rather, they were actually welcoming toward Spirit Masters who truly came to learn.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, the average quality of Spirits in The Three Empires of the Original Continent was superior to those in the Sun Moon Empire.
And if more Genius Spirit Masters came to learn, some would eventually stay.
Even if they didn’t stay, their good impression of the Sun Moon Empire would bring many benefits.
In a broad sense, it could even fragment the Spirit Master cultural circle ruled by Shrek.
If conflicts arose in the future, it wouldn’t result in a scene like thousands of years ago, where Shrek’s call was answered by all, and hundreds of Titled Douluo gathered on the battlefield.
But unfortunately, their thoughts were completely different from the royal family’s policy.
spirit tools were the foundation of the Empire, and they were generally unwilling to let Spirit Masters from the three Empires learn about them.
However, because the Sun Moon Empire was the defeated party, they had to open up some of the blockades to integrate into the culture of the original Douluo Continent and promote cultural exchange, allowing Spirit Masters from the three Empires a chance to study in the Sun Moon Empire.
Similarly, to show tolerance, Shrek had similar regulations allowing Sun Moon Empire Spirit Masters to study Spirit Master techniques.
But unfortunately, due to the arrogance of Shrek and the Spirit Master circle of the original continent, as well as the difficult conditions for studying at Shrek, the exchange between the two sides was actually very weak.
In thousands of years, there hadn’t been many cases.
At this time, Teacher Li Hu looked at Fu Yu with some expectation and said, “The Recommendation Token is fine.
According to the regulations, you can indeed come to our academy to study spirit tools.” “But before that, I must ask: do you have any foundation in being a Soul Engineer?
It doesn’t have to be high, just the basics.” Hearing this, Fu Yu frowned slightly, clearly not having expected this question.
Even Ning Qingyun hadn’t mentioned it.
Because although this condition wasn’t in the Sun Moon Empire’s official enrollment requirements, it was a well-known implicit rule.
Ning Qingyun assumed Fu Yu understood this and didn’t bother to mention it.
“I need a Soul Engineer foundation?
But aren’t I here to learn to be a Soul Engineer?” As soon as he said this, the surrounding parents and children burst into laughter, while Teacher Li Hu could only give a bitter and helpless smile.
The adults around continued to mock him loudly.
“Coming to register at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy without even learning the basics?
You might as well just find any random Elementary Academy to enroll in.
They don’t require a foundation, and the teachers start from the basics.”
