“How is this possible?!
A thousand-year first ring?!” Exclamations erupted one after another from the crowd, each voice saturated with unbelievable shock.
Xiao Hongchen stared blankly at the dazzling purple light, his Adam’s apple bobbing involuntarily as he muttered to himself.
“A thousand-year first ring?
Something I wouldn’t even dare dream of even by taking pills?
Is my title as the continent’s number one Genius going to crash before it even takes off?” Xiao Hongchen mechanically patted his sister’s shoulder beside him, his voice drifting: “Meng, pinch me.
I think I’m hallucinating.” But what answered him wasn’t a gentle pinch, but a heavy elbow strike.
Meng Hongchen didn’t even turn her head.
Her long burgundy hair swayed slightly with her movements as she said dissatisfiedly, “Xiao, you’re bothering me!” Teacher Li Hu’s pupils constricted suddenly.
His gaze fixed on Fu Yu as if sparks were about to fly, his chest heaving violently.
At this moment, only one thought filled his mind: this youth, who possessed both the talent of a Spirit Master and a once-in-a-millennium attainment in spirit tools, must stay at the academy!
“Come!
We’re going to see the Director right now…” Teacher Li Hu grabbed Fu Yu’s wrist.
His surging spirit power directly parted the crowd, then he changed his mind: “No, we’re going straight to see the Dean!
All assessments are waived; we’re processing your enrollment immediately!” “Everyone, move aside!” As Teacher Li Hu spoke, he ignored the crowd at the registration desk; nothing was more important than Fu Yu right now.
As Teacher Li Hu left with Fu Yu in a swift and decisive manner, the registration area instantly boiled over.
Meng Hongchen finally snapped out of it, her slender hand suddenly grabbing Xiao Hongchen’s forearm: “Xiao, hurry!
They’re going to find Grandpa.
Let’s catch up!” The two siblings unleashed their full spirit power, halos of different colors swirling around them as they chased after the disappearing figures.
Inside the campus of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
In the high-tech campus, Teacher Li Hu led Fu Yu through a cluster of futuristic buildings.
spirit tool technology facilities decades ahead of the outside world could be seen everywhere on campus, all showcasing the profound heritage of the Sun Moon Academy.
“Please, wait a moment!” Just then, a few short shouts made the two stop in their tracks and turn around.
Chasing after them were the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
spirit power of different colors flickered on their bodies, making it obvious that their internal spirit power was circulating frantically to the point of appearing on the surface.
Because the two had stopped, they quickly caught up.
Fu Yu didn’t show much expression toward the two, but Teacher Li Hu’s eyes lit up.
As the grandchildren of the Dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen had practically grown up on campus; no teacher wouldn’t recognize them.
“Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, why are you here?” Xiao Hongchen was panting heavily.
Hearing Teacher Li Hu’s inquiry, he caught his breath and replied, “We were just in the crowd at the registration desk.” Meng Hongchen’s condition was much better than Xiao Hongchen’s.
Her long burgundy hair wasn’t messy despite the intense exercise, and her jade-like cheeks flushed with a healthy glow.
Her deep blue eyes looked at Fu Yu with curiosity.
Teacher Li Hu was even more excited upon hearing Xiao Hongchen’s answer and quickly followed up: “Since you know the situation, I won’t repeat it.
Do you know where the Dean is right now?” Meng Hongchen spoke then, her voice crisp and pleasant: “Grandpa is most likely in the Mingde Hall laboratory.
He’s been working on an eighth-rank spirit tool these past few days.” Meng Hongchen scrutinized Fu Yu subtly as she spoke, unconsciously twirling a lock of hair with her fingertip.
“That’s great!
Knowing where the Dean is makes things easy.” After Teacher Li Hu finished, he turned to introduce them to Fu Yu: “Let me introduce you.
These two are the grandchildren of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy’s Dean.
They’ll take you to the Dean’s office.” “You two, is that alright?” Teacher Li Hu said to the Mortal World siblings.
“No problem, leave it to us!” Meng Hongchen said quickly.
They had chased after them specifically to get to know Fu Yu; Teacher Li Hu’s request was exactly what they wanted.
Even Xiao Hongchen, who was still calming his breathing, nodded in agreement.
“Alright then, Student Fu Yu is in your hands.
I’ll go find the Dean now.” With that, Teacher Li Hu took a wing-like flying spirit tool from his storage soul tool.
A crimson jet of spirit power erupted, carrying him toward the tallest building in the academy.
As Fu Yu looked away from Teacher Li Hu’s rapidly flying figure, a hand as white as jade was already extended toward him.
With a crisp voice and a sweet smile, Meng Hongchen looked nothing like she did when she was with Xiao Hongchen.
“Hello, I’m Meng Hongchen.” Fu Yu smiled and reached out to give it a light squeeze.
“Hello, I’m Fu Yu.” Xiao Hongchen suddenly squeezed between them, his eyes shining intensely.
“Brother Fu, tell me quickly, how did you do it?” Fu Yu raised his hand and pointed toward the towering buildings ahead.
“Aren’t we going to the Dean’s office?
Let’s talk while we walk.” — Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen’s private laboratory.
A piercing emergency alarm suddenly rang out, startling Jing Hongchen, who was focused on engraving an array.
His hand slipped slightly on the carving knife, and the array patterns were ruined instantly.
Jing Hongchen dropped the carving knife with a dark expression and opened the laboratory door, which had been locked from the inside.
Seeing the anxious Teacher Li Hu outside, he said with suppressed anger, “Teacher Li Hu?
Aren’t you supposed to be presiding over the Elementary Department’s admissions this year?
Why have you come here?” “If your answer doesn’t satisfy me, don’t even think about this year’s fixed allocation of rare metals.” Ignoring the Dean’s threat, Teacher Li Hu immediately recounted the entire story.
“Are you sure?
That Fu Yu really didn’t know anything?
It was his first time engraving an array?” Teacher Li Hu nodded frantically, his face full of excitement.
“Of course!
I’m a Seventh-Rank Soul Engineer, after all.
I can tell at a glance whether someone has had System learning for spirit tools.” “Fu Yu is definitely a first-timer.
Even the order of his cuts was based on his own intuition, yet there wasn’t a single mistake.
If you don’t believe me, you can see for yourself.” As Teacher Li Hu spoke, he took out the metal block Fu Yu had engraved and placed it before Jing Hongchen.
Without needing a close look, Jing Hongchen could tell with just one glance that Teacher Li Hu was right.
A beginner with exquisite technique.
This was the evaluation from a Ninth-Rank Soul Engineer of the Sun Moon Empire.
“Where is he now?” Teacher Li Hu quickly replied, “Your grandchildren took him to the office.” The next moment, a gale swept through the laboratory, and Jing Hongchen’s figure vanished before Teacher Li Hu, turning into a streak of light.
