Time whisked away.
Su Yu has lived at Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy for a month.
And now it's the time for the new students to enroll in the academy.
As for returning students, they began to come back half a month ago.
"Huh! Someone got here before me?"
Su Yu was still cultivating in bed when he heard movement.
He opened his eyes and saw an excited chubby guy.
"Hi, I'm Not Much Money."
Su Yu's mouth twitched; what kind of name is this?
However, Not Much Money...
This name reminded him of another person, Qian Duoduo, the deputy head of Shrek Academy's Soul Guide System.
Could there be some connection between them?
Su Yu merely thought about this in his heart, maintaining no suspicious expressions outwardly.
"Su Yu."
"I thought everyone in the Martial Soul System would still be at home enjoying themselves; didn't expect someone with more determination than me, who arrived so early."
Not Much Money was a chatterbox, and while packing, he couldn't stop talking.
"Those who come to our Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy yet can't get into the Soul Guide System, are just here to muddle through their degree; coming as late as possible for the semester start."
Su Yu didn't respond, merely listening to Not Much Money's ramblings.
"Brother, do you want to switch to the Soul Guide System?"
Su Yu merely glanced at Not Much Money.
"Heh heh, I knew it, people like us who come early are definitely ambitious, wanting to push into the Soul Guide System. Otherwise, why not just go to Mingdu Martial Soul Academy?"
...
Su Yu truly admired Not Much Money's ability to talk, carrying on from morning until noon.
"Brother, want to have lunch together?"
Opening his eyes, Su Yu didn't refuse, saying, "Sure, let's go."
This morning's meditation further boosted his Soul Power.
After absorbing the 5,800-year-old Blast Heaven Pepper Soul Ring, Su Yu's Soul Power reached Level 33, and during the subsequent one and a half months on the caravan, he practically cultivated non-stop.
After that, he cultivated here for a month.
Today, his Soul Power at Level 33 was already maxed out.
Next up is breaking through that barrier to reach Level 34.
Who knows how long it'll take this time?
Su Yu led Not Much Money to the cafeteria, skillfully ordering a nutritious meal. The meal costs about one Golden Soul Coin.
It's expensive, but worth its value, as the ingredients are rich in Soul Power and beneficial for Martial Soul cultivation. Not only does it improve Soul Power cultivation speed, but it also unknowingly refines one's Soul Power.
Consuming it long-term, even if boosting Soul Power with pills, as long as it's not too frequent or excessive, these nutritious meals can restore balance.
That's also why Su Yu could quickly max out his Soul Power at Level 33.
"Boss Su, how come you're so familiar with the academy?"
Just when Su Yu finished cultivating, Not Much Money felt a tinge of Su Yu's Soul Power aura, and since then, he's been calling him Boss Su.
Actually, Su Yu is twelve, while Not Much Money is already fourteen.
But there's no help for it; Su Yu is stronger.
Also, Not Much Money is slightly shorter, round, and doesn't appear significantly older than Su Yu.
Calling him this doesn't feel out of place at all.
"Boss Su, do you want to visit the library? I heard that even though we're in the Martial Soul System, we have the right to look up Soul Guide materials.
It's the last month, we should sprint forward, strive to successfully transfer to the Soul Guide System during the newcomer assessment; let's first get familiar with the library environment."
...
"Boss Su, how did you get to know the school so well?"
Led by Su Yu, they arrived at the library, went through the processes of borrowing, reading, returning, booking, cancelling, and topping up, causing Not Much Money to marvel.
Su Yu's mouth twitched.
If you'd chosen any other place, I wouldn't be this familiar.
He didn't throw any more idle words at Not Much Money and found the book "Common Models of Level 1 Soul-guiding Devices" to start studying.
Conversations are forbidden in the library.
Not Much Money had to keep his mouth shut.
...
Three days passed by in a flash.
There are full three days for freshman enrollment.
Tomorrow, regular classes will begin.
"Boss Su, I heard our teacher is really chill; as long as we don't disrupt him in class, it's fine."
Not Much Money had comprehensive information, with many insider stories, sparing Su Yu lots of trouble.
"Since that's the case, will you sign in for me?"
"Huh?"
Not Much Money let out a howl like a slaughtered pig.
"Come on, boss; at least attend the first class, or we're both doomed."
Su Yu thought it over and found it reasonable.
They reached the classroom.
They're in the same class.
Or rather, there's only one class in the Martial Soul System.
It's a big class with a total of one hundred and eighty students.
The cultivation at Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy resembles a past-life university, with courses required and elective registered on your own; required courses are large class lectures instructed by a teacher.
Su Yu arrived at the first-year large classroom of the Martial Soul System.
They came quite early.
The front rows were empty.
Su Yu led the chubby guy to the second-to-last row by the window.
Other students arrived one after another, also heading to the back seats, chatting in small groups.
This led to the teacher arriving to find the first three rows in the middle empty with barely any students on the sides.
"Hey, sit forward; those in the last few rows, come to the front."
The teacher's class might be relaxed, but they are still the teacher.
And they are veritably a Six-Ring Soul Emperor!
Standing there, exuding an undeniable authority.
Students present all had some family influence, but none were foolish enough to casually oppose a Six-Ring Soul Emperor.
Moreover, to be a lecturer at Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, a Soul Emperor themselves must have solid connections.
The classroom is split into three sections: the middle and two sides. The middle has five or six interconnected seats, with three seats on each side.
The first three rows in the middle being empty was too conspicuous.
When the teacher spoke, they pointed at the students in the last three center rows.
The other areas were populated, leaving only the first three rows. Dozens of students reluctantly moved to the front, sitting upright.
"Welcome, everyone, to Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy..."
The teacher's class really was rather relaxed; Su Yu only heard three sentences before being overwhelmed.
He closed his eyes, practiced meditation silently, activating Soul Power.
Yang Chengyu noticed Su Yu's actions but didn't care.
"Three-Ring Soul Venerable? Anyway, there isn't any substantial content in the lecture; heard he plans to apply to the Soul Guide System.
So I won't interrupt his cultivation.
Cultivating in my class means having more time to study Soul Guide knowledge outside class.
Well, hope he can get into the Soul Guide System.
The Soul Guide is the right path."
No one could have known this mindset from a teacher lecturing in the Martial Soul System.
No wonder, in Sun and Moon Empire, the status of Soul Guides is extraordinarily high.
The academy's teachers have vast networks, and in Sun and Moon Empire, those with vast networks are nearly always Soul Guides.
Meaning, even the Martial Soul System teachers are Soul Guides.
"Su Yu, meet me in my office after class."
