Half an hour later, the atmosphere in the Dean’s office was a bit strange.
Jing Hongchen stared at the perfect Rank 1 spirit tool Core Formation on the desk, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he hesitated to speak.
When he looked up at the three youths on the sofa, he felt a bit of a headache.
Indeed, if one was too much of a Genius, it really wasn’t suitable to study with other peers; not only would it strike at the confidence and motivation of the other children, it would also slow down the Genius’s pace.
Jing Hongchen sighed and said helplessly, “Since you’ve done it, Ah Yu, I won’t stop you guys from self-studying anymore.” “The early courses are indeed a bit slow in pace to balance the learning progress of all students.” Having said that, Jing Hongchen’s tone shifted.
“However, let me make this clear beforehand: you can self-study during these two learning stages, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be completely without a teacher’s supervision.” “At the end of every month from now on, I will set aside two days specifically to conduct assessments and tutoring for you.
If you have any questions regarding spirit tools that you don’t understand, you can ask me then.” Hearing this, both Fu Yu and Xiao Hongchen were overjoyed.
Especially Xiao Hongchen; his eyebrows were practically dancing with joy.
As a self-proclaimed Genius, he didn’t want to follow a step-by-step curriculum; that would only make him feel no different from an ordinary person.
In contrast, Meng Hongchen just smiled quietly; to her, there wasn’t much difference between classes and self-study.
Jing Hongchen glanced at the two of them and snorted, “Let me give you a fair warning: if you don’t make the expected progress, you’ll go back to class obediently.” “Also, this won’t happen once you enter the High-level Department.
That’s when you’ll truly come into contact with the Sun Moon Empire’s most cutting-edge spirit tool technology and various projects researched by Mingde Hall.” Hearing Jing Hongchen’s words, Fu Yu and the other two looked at each other and smiled.
They stood up from the sofa together and shouted loudly.
“Understood!” —— Time passed, and the sun and moon rotated.
In the library’s self-study room.
The surrounding spirit tool lamps illuminated the room brightly.
At this moment, Fu Yu was at a workbench, seriously engraving a Rank 2 spirit tool Core Formation.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were watching intently, holding their breath for fear that even the slightest movement might affect Fu Yu.
Lines of the formation appeared on the surface of the core metal with fluid grace; every stroke of the knife was like a work of art.
This scene left Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen somewhat mesmerized.
However, Xiao Hongchen’s focus was on the spirit tool core in Fu Yu’s hands where metal shavings were flying, while Meng Hongchen’s gaze lingered on the youth’s focused profile.
“Whew!” Fu Yu lightly blew away the metal shavings, and the ice-blue patterns on the formation’s surface immediately began to flow.
“Alright, the last core is engraved!” Fu Yu picked up the Rank 2 Core Formation he had just engraved and spoke to the two of them.
Meng Hongchen leaned forward impatiently, her hair sweeping across the workbench.
“Then hurry up and assemble it, Ah Yu!” “Meng, don’t worry, it’ll be ready soon!” Fu Yu said to Meng Hongchen with a smile.
The Core Formation he had engraved was the most important component of the gift he was giving to Meng Hongchen.
A few days ago, on Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen’s birthday, he had promised each of them a wish within his capabilities.
Xiao Hongchen wanted a fair and square duel with Fu Yu.
While Meng Hongchen wanted Fu Yu to personally make a matching spirit tool for her.
Fu Yu smiled as he took out the spirit tool components to be assembled from his storage soul tool and put them together in order.
As the Core Formation clicked into place, an ice-blue arc of light flashed across the surface.
Once fully assembled, it was an Ice-blue spirit tool shortsword about half a meter long, emitting a faint chill.
“Here!
Meng, you try it!” Fu Yu smiled and handed the hilt of the shortsword to Meng Hongchen.
“Oh, right, and the fire-attribute one I gave you before, use them together.” Fu Yu suddenly remembered the other half of the spirit tool set he had given her earlier.
“Mhm!” Meng Hongchen nodded her head quickly as she took the shortsword from Fu Yu.
In her left hand, a Crimson shortsword identical to the one in her right hand instantly appeared.
Golden lights flowed over the crimson blade, complementing the silver glow on the ice-blue shortsword; anyone could tell at a glance that they were a pair.
Standing aside and watching this, Xiao Hongchen’s eyes were full of envy, and he felt a sudden pang of jealousy.
“Meng, let me see!” Hearing Xiao Hongchen’s envious words, Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes at her silly brother, hugged the red and blue swords to her chest, and tilted her snowy-white chin up slightly.
“No, this is a birthday gift from Ah Yu.
What if you break it?” Xiao Hongchen stared at the twin swords and rubbed his hands together.
“This is a spirit tool, not a glass cup; it won’t be that easily broken.” “If I had known, I wouldn’t have asked for that fair and square duel.
Brother Yu’s learning speed is just too fast; he can learn a Soul Tool Formation just by looking at it.
The only thing limiting his learning speed is his spirit power Rank.” Hearing her smug brother—who claimed to be the best in the Sun Moon Empire and even the continent—praising Fu Yu, Meng Hongchen felt exceptionally happy.
“That’s because you were showing off.
You clearly knew Ah Yu could already engrave Rank 2 Core Formations, yet you still insisted on challenging him.” At this point, Meng Hongchen’s beautiful eyes darted around, and she said to Xiao Hongchen with a charming smile.
“But speaking of which, challenging him even though you knew you’d lose—Brother, you’re quite brave!” To actually hear praise from Meng Hongchen’s mouth, the corners of Xiao Hongchen’s mouth curled up.
He ran a hand through his flowing silver hair and said arrogantly.
“You’re kidding, I’m super brave, okay?” Fu Yu chuckled as he watched his two friends bickering.
“Meng, how does it feel?
I even designed replaceable components for this set of twin swords.
In the future, when my Soul Engineer Rank increases, or you improve yourself, these two spirit tools can be upgraded to high-level spirit tools.” Hearing this, Meng Hongchen immediately beamed with joy.
“Then I’ll have to ask Ah Yu to help me upgrade them later.
I’m going to follow the path of a Control Soul Engineer, so the requirements for being a Soul Engineer aren’t that high.” Hearing Meng Hongchen’s words, Fu Yu immediately laughed, “No problem.
Every time I advance, you can come to me.” Fu Yu watched as Meng Hongchen reluctantly put the twin swords into her storage soul tool.
Then, she suddenly jumped into his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“Thank you, Ah Yu.
I really like your gift.” Feeling Meng Hongchen’s whisper in his ear, Fu Yu lightly patted her back and said.
“Come down now, Xiao is still watching from the side.
By the look of it, he’s about to eat me alive.” “Humph, he wouldn’t dare!” However, Meng Hongchen still listened to Fu Yu and released her arms, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Seeing the two let go, Xiao Hongchen finally breathed a sigh of relief and said crossly to Meng Hongchen.
“Meng, I’m telling you!” But before Xiao Hongchen could finish, an anomaly suddenly occurred!
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
