Chapter 15, Class Nine.
After a good show, Wu Xuan closed the window, sat back on his bed, and began his meditation practice for the day.
Seeing Wu Xuan's diligence, Qian Guming, feeling competitive, closed the door, hung up the "Do Not Disturb" sign, and also began his practice.
Sunrise and sunset passed quietly.
When his practice ended, Wu Xuan slowly opened his dark eyes. Qian Guming's practice wasn't over yet. Curious, Wu Xuan released his spiritual power to sense it for a moment.
"Level 22 soul power, seems to be a fire-attribute weapon spirit." Using his spiritual power, Wu Xuan clearly sensed the fluctuations and aura of Qian Guming's soul power.
"His cultivation is not bad, ranking among the top among the freshmen!" Wu Xuan got out of bed, took a sip of tea, and commented.
Before he finished his tea, Qian Guming also opened his eyes.
Qian Guming stretched and jumped out of bed: "Ah~! I'm starving. Wu Xuan! I know a pretty good barbecue restaurant outside the East Gate, wanna go together?"
Pulling back the curtains, Wu Xuan realized it was already dark. He smiled and said, "Sure! I'm really hungry after cultivating for so long."
The two then left the dormitory one after the other.
Standing downstairs, the entire freshman dormitory building was brightly lit. Although each room wasn't large, it was perfect for two people. No matter how noisy it was outside, Wu Xuan and Qian Guming, who had been cultivating, hadn't heard a thing, demonstrating the excellent soundproofing of the dormitories.
Inside a classroom office on the third floor of the freshman teaching building, a young and beautiful female teacher, who looked to be around thirty, sat behind her desk with a smug expression.
On her desk were two open letters. One was ornately decorated, while the other appeared more ordinary.
The more ordinary letter had the two large, flamboyant characters "Xuancheng" embossed on it.
The contents of the letter and an admission certificate both bore the name Wu Xuan.
Name: Wu Xuan Martial Soul: Wind Element Control
Soul Power: Level 34 Background: ...
Another letter was a recommendation letter from Nine Treasures City.
Name: Ning Tian Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Power: Level 31
Background: ...
The female teacher smiled faintly, possessing a charm unique to her age.
"There are four Soul Masters among the new students, and two of them are in my class. Zhou Yi, you old hag, let's see what you can do against me this time! Hmph~!"
"Teacher Mu, haven't you gone back yet?" A young female teacher who looked to be under thirty years old gently reminded her at the office door. The one she called Teacher Mu was Mu Jin, the homeroom teacher of Wu Xuan's Class 9.
"I'm going back now." Mu Jin smiled and replied, locking the letter and leaving the office.
The enrollment was over in a flash!
Today was the first day of school for the new students of Shrek Academy.
Although the dormitory had good soundproofing, it couldn't withstand the collective movement of a thousand students in the entire dormitory building.
Wu Xuan and Qian Guming, who were fast asleep, opened their eyes simultaneously.
After washing up, they changed into the white school uniforms of first-year students.
"Stop fiddling with your hair. I told you, charisma is innate. You can't learn my handsomeness!" Wu Xuan teased, leaning against the door.
"Damn! Can't you just shut up?" Looking at the tall, fair-skinned, and handsome Wu Xuan, Qian Guming had to admit that some things were truly enviable.
Arriving at the cafeteria, the two quickly finished their breakfast and headed towards the freshman teaching building.
Soon, they arrived at the door of the freshman class nine classroom.
Almost every seat in the classroom was already occupied.
Qian Guming glanced into the classroom from the doorway and said, "Wu Xuan, we're late. There aren't any seats left."
Wu Xuan yawned as he entered the classroom, casually saying, "Aren't there two empty seats in the corner? It doesn't matter where we sit!"
He then sat down in the corner by the window.
Qian Guming sat down next to him.
Unbeknownst to Wu Xuan, from the moment he entered the classroom, at least 90% of the students were watching them.
Wu Xuan's handsome appearance was certainly part of it, but a larger portion was impressed by their bravery. Arriving at the classroom right on the first day of school—weren't they afraid of being late?
Before they even had a chance to settle in, a young and beautiful female teacher walked to the podium.
Upon seeing the teacher, the chatter about Wu Xuan and Qian Guming abruptly ceased. Students who could get into Shrek Academy certainly wouldn't lack this level of awareness.
Compared to Old Lady Zhou of Class One, who liked to expel students who talked back to establish her authority, Mu Jin's teaching style was much gentler.
Mu Jin was satisfied with everyone's performance, her gaze calmly sweeping from left to right. Everyone felt her attention, an invisible pressure instantly forming in their hearts.
Of course, Wu Xuan remained calm throughout.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Mu Jin. I will be your class teacher until the freshman assessment three months from now, before the class reassignment. I know you were carefully selected from various countries across the continent, and among your peers, you can definitely be called elites."
Hearing this, except for a few composed students, most of the students in the class showed a hint of pride in their eyes.
If they weren't exceptionally talented, how could they have entered Shrek Academy? This sense of superiority, which they had felt since childhood, was not so easily erased.
Then, Mu Jin changed the subject.
"However, I must tell you this: Shrek Academy is never short of geniuses. Every year, more than two-thirds of the freshmen are eliminated in the entrance exams. That means only one-third of you will be able to continue your studies at the academy. All you can do is try your best to improve yourselves in these three months and strive to stay."
Seeing the solemn expressions on the students' faces, Mu Jin knew she had achieved her goal.
Mu Jin said, "Wu Xuan!"
"Here!!" Wu Xuan, who was sitting in the corner, slowly stood up.
"I have seen your information when you entered the academy. Among you, Wu Xuan has the highest cultivation level. From now on, he will be the class monitor of Class Nine. Shrek Academy has always been about the most capable rising to the top."
"Of course! The position of class monitor is fluid. Whoever has the ability to defeat Wu Xuan can take his place. But I must tell you that Wu Xuan is a control-type Soul Master. Before challenging him, you'd better assess your own strength."
"Soul Master?!"
As soon as Mu Jin finished speaking, the previously quiet classroom became chaotic again.
The way everyone looked at Wu Xuan instantly changed. Even with their limited knowledge, they knew what it meant to become a Soul Master before the age of twelve.
The female students in the class looked at Wu Xuan with admiration, and even the male students who had previously teased him were now filled with respect.
Seeing the eager gazes, Wu Xuan curled his lip. Where would a few newly-broken Great Soul Masters get the guts to challenge him?
"Yes!" Wu Xuan responded and sat down. The class teacher had already assigned him the position of class monitor, and he wouldn't refuse outright; it was only for three months anyway.
