The next day.
“Wake up, Skydream!
A brand-new day full of vitality begins!
Don’t waste this great youth!”
In the spiritual sea, a groggy Skydream rolled over and continued busy with her main business (sleeping).
Huo Yuhao didn’t mind.
He washed up, changed into the handsome white school uniform, and headed toward the academy cafeteria.
On his way, he ran into Lin Jiayi again.
Looking at Huo Yuhao, whose mental state was completely revitalized, Lin couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
This child…
yesterday, even covered in travel dust, he was already handsome enough.
Today, changed into clean clothes and washed up, his looks had gone up another notch.
He almost looked as handsome as Lin Jiayi himself did while showering.
Who knows how many young girls he’d mesmerize in the future?
He was here for business today, so he directly handed over all the things Jing Hongchen had ordered yesterday to Huo Yuhao.
Looking at the soul-guided card in his hand, which represented unrestricted access to the cafeteria’s ordinary ingredients section, Huo Yuhao smiled and greeted him, waiting for Lin Jiayi to continue.
Sure enough, the Director repeated Jing Hongchen’s words, and finally added: “Yuhao, the Dean already knows of your talent.
He thinks very highly of you.
However, due to some reasons, the Dean cannot come to see you personally.
Perform well during this period.
Once you display your talent, the academy will tilt additional resources towards you.”
At the same time, he took out a basic storage soul tool and placed it in Huo Yuhao’s hand.
“Inside are a few changes of the academy uniform, as well as the study list I made for you last night.
It contains all the basic route knowledge you need to learn before becoming a Class 3 Soul Engineer.
You just need to go to the library and grab the books.”
Recalling the Dean’s question from last night, Lin Jiayi finally asked, “Yuhao, can you tell me what your first spirit skill is?”
At this moment, hit in the head by a barrage of pleasant surprises, Huo Yuhao just wanted to shout loudly—LOYALTY!
Storing the items and the cafeteria card, Huo Yuhao answered, “Director Lin, my first spirit skill is Spirit Detection Sharing.
It can observe the environment within the detection range from an omniscient perspective.
As my spiritual power grows, the detection range expands.
I can also share all sights, sounds, and thoughts with allies within the range.”
Saying so, he even let Lin Jiayi experience it.
The expression on Lin Jiayi’s face right then was spectacular.
A divine skill!
This skill was absolutely a divine skill!
Not only for soul tools, but for soul masters as well.
That incredible shared detection and its growth potential were far beyond expectations for both fields.
Damn it, Lin Jiayi, discovering this child Yuhao is simply the luckiest thing you will ever encounter in your life!
You are a genius!
“A spirit skill akin to a divine skill!
Yuhao, the help this skill can provide for you to become a soul engineer is limitless!
You must use this skill well, especially for soul tool research!”
“I will, Director Lin.” Huo Yuhao was equally clear about the true utility of Spirit Detection Sharing.
“Alright, go eat first.
I’ll take you to report to the Teaching Department later.
You’re a transfer student, so just adapt to the environment today, and then you can temporarily begin your study of soul engineering knowledge.”
Huo Yuhao nodded.
He was already starving.
After eating a fairly sumptuous meal in the cafeteria’s ordinary ingredients section, he followed Lin Jiayi to the First Year Teaching Department.
Unlike Shrek Academy, which was divided into inner and outer courtyards, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy only had a Teaching Department and a Research Department.
Students in the Teaching Department received six years of professional soul engineering education.
After six years, if they reached Class 5 Soul Engineer, they had the opportunity to go to the Research Department for further studies.
If you were a genius with strong innovation and research capabilities, you would be specially recruited into the Mingde Hall.
If, after six years, a student didn’t become a Class 3 Soul Engineer, they would be automatically expelled and enter other departments of the Sun Moon Empire.
If they became a Class 3 but hadn’t reached Class 5, they could remain in the academy for five more years.
After five years, if they still hadn’t reached Class 5, they’d be expelled, with no qualification to enter the Research Department.
Of course, the academy had its own selection criteria.
If a student truly had no talent in soul tools, they would be taught in the way of a soul master.
However, during the annual Teaching Department advancement exams, anyone who failed to meet the standards would be eliminated and lose their right to continue studying.
For example, 1st and 2nd-year students were required to become Class 1 Soul Engineers before entering the 3rd year.
3rd and 4th-year students had to become Class 2 Soul Engineers before entering the 5th year, and so on.
The root reason for this was that students of the Sun Moon Academy were provided a free monthly quota of metals corresponding to their soul engineer class, intended to help them practice soul tool production.
These resources didn’t grow on trees; if you lacked the ability, you naturally had no right to receive this free metal quota.
Furthermore, theory is theory, and producing a soul tool is producing a soul tool.
Unlike Shrek, where as long as you could produce a Class 1 soul tool, you were considered a Class 1 Soul Engineer, the Sun Moon Empire generally required assessments in both theoretical knowledge and soul tool production, weighted at a 3:7 ratio.
Meaning, if the full score was 100 and the passing score was 60, even if a student got a perfect score in Class 1 theoretical knowledge but a zero in production, they still failed and couldn’t become a Class 1 Soul Engineer.
Conversely, if your production was perfect but your theory was lacking, your score would still be unideal.
This assessment system ensured that students had no shortcomings in soul tool research, and laid the foundation for them to advance to higher ranks in the future.
It had to be said, it was very comprehensive.
Of course, being able to personally produce a soul tool core proved to a certain extent that the student’s foundation was solid.
But to go further in the future, who would think studying theoretical knowledge was unnecessary?
Knowing how to fix a lightbulb and knowing why a lightbulb lights up are two different things.
Soon, Huo Yuhao was brought to Class 3 of the First Year by Lin Jiayi.
The homeroom teacher for Class 3 was an old man, a Class 5 Soul Engineer named Shi Xuan.
Having been informed in advance, he wasn’t surprised by their arrival.
After delivering Huo Yuhao to the class, Lin Jiayi gave a few instructions and hurriedly left.
He needed to report Huo Yuhao’s first spirit skill to the Dean; he had no time to waste here.
Shi Xuan looked at the incredibly curious expressions of the students in his class and smiled, asking Huo Yuhao to stand on the podium.
“This student is a newly arrived transfer student named Huo Yuhao.
He will be studying together with everyone from now on.
Yuhao, give a short self-introduction so everyone can get to know you.”
