Chapter 56 Xuanzi: What the heck is all this?!
"That's right. In District 33, which I'm responsible for assessing, there are several freshmen who have performed exceptionally well."
"First, there's a freshman named Wang Dong'er."
"Wang Dong'er? That name seems familiar... Where did I hear it again?" Xuanzi frowned. "I think it's that kid Yan Shaozhe, but I forgot what he said. Never mind, continue."
Although it was a bit strange, Wang Yan continued, "Wang Dong'er's martial soul is the Goddess of Light Butterfly. She is only eleven years old this year and is already a three-ring Soul Master."
"Moreover, her second spirit ring is a thousand-year spirit ring."
"Hmm, that's not bad." Xuanzi nodded. "Ask her how she managed to get a second soul ring that lasts a thousand years, and see if we can promote that to the academy."
"Elder Xuan, this..." Wang Yan gave a wry smile, "This is, after all, someone's privacy."
He had asked her once before he came, and Wang Dong'er's answer was clearly an excuse, that she didn't want to tell him. How could he have the nerve to ask her again?
Moreover, Shrek Academy seems to have already wronged her once. Although the specific details are unknown, the fact that they offered Soul Ascension Pills and Profound Water Pills as compensation clearly indicates that the academy was in the wrong.
"Once you're in Shrek Academy, you belong to Shrek." Xuanzi slammed his wine gourd into the ground.
"If you really can't get an answer from her, then forget it. Shrek Academy has no shortage of geniuses; someone will always be able to do what she did."
"Besides, Wang Yan, you're currently focusing on the theoretical path, and I'm confident you can figure it out."
"Elder Xuan, Elder Xuan, let's not talk about this for now." Wang Yan gave an awkward laugh and brought up Xiao Xiao again.
"There is also a second-ring Great Soul Master named Xiao Xiao, whose mutated martial soul is the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron. She seems to follow a semi-support, semi-control route. Based on my observation, I think her martial soul characteristics are very obvious and seem to have some similarities with Elder Xuan."
"What could a weapon spirit possibly have to do with me?" Xuanzi glanced at Wang Yan: "Wang Yan, you're really getting more and more outdated the more you study it."
"Elder Xuan, when the Great Master proposed the theory of Martial Soul Mimicry ten thousand years ago, wasn't it also misunderstood by the world, but was ultimately proven by his disciple?"
Seeing Xuanzi drinking and eating heartily, seemingly lost in thought, Wang Yan felt somewhat helpless.
"I think Xiao Xiao is a very suitable student for you to teach. At that time, you may also benefit from the teaching process and even touch the barrier of crossing the ninety-ninth level."
"Wang Yan, you're good at everything, except you love to exaggerate too much." Xuanzi took a large gulp of wine and said, "No need to say anything more about that, let's move on to the next one."
"Alright. Next up is Huo Yuhao, a one-ring Soul Master. Although his first Soul Ring is only ten years old, his Martial Soul is a rare Body Martial Soul called Spirit Eye, which should correspond to the eye area."
"Moreover, he is not a member of the Body Sect. Although he has joined the Tang Sect, this is not a big deal for Shrek Academy."
"Tang Sect... wait, you said his first spirit ring is only ten years old?" Xuanzi glanced at Wang Yan sideways.
"Is this kind of trash even worth mentioning separately?"
"But..." Wang Yan said unwillingly, "Elder Xuan, Huo Yuhao is a member of Wang Dong'er's team. It would be too arbitrary to dismiss him simply because he has the first soul ring in ten years."
"Someone with Wang Dong'er's strength, since she was able to recruit Huo Yuhao into her team, must have something worthy of her attention." Wang Yan did not mention the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect had declined, and it was possible for them to recruit anyone, so it was not appropriate to use it as an example.
"Maybe that little girl is arrogant and thinks she can still win beautifully even with a burden on her?" Xuanzi said noncommittally. "But since her martial soul is eyes, it does have some value. It's also possible that her original martial soul hasn't been fully activated. I'll go and take a look during the ranking matches."
As long as they are willing to pay attention, that's enough. Wang Yan doesn't pursue more. As long as Elder Xuan is willing to pay attention to the students he mentioned, there is a chance to change Elder Xuan's mind.
In Shrek Academy, Wang Yan is indeed one of the few teachers who pays even a little attention to the students.
Although this attitude only applies to the few students he identifies based on his theory.
"Elder Xuan, besides Huo Yuhao, whom I just mentioned, there are two other young girls who possess hair-based martial souls. Are hair-based martial souls considered part of the main body's martial soul?"
"It's only remotely related." Xuanzi took a big gulp of wine, waved his hand, and said, "It's a waste to even glance at this kind of martial spirit."
"But those two girls can also use Spirit Fusion Techniques," Wang Yan said unwillingly. "If they can connect their Spirit Fusion Techniques to their original Spirits, their potential is truly promising..."
"Heh, what promising future? Wang Yan, I think you don't understand at all. You're supposed to be the most theoretically minded in the academy, how come your understanding is so shallow?"
"Let me teach you," Xuanzi shook his head, his face full of anger at his lack of ambition.
"The most important thing about the Martial Soul is the word 'body'. The more important the body part that is the Martial Soul is to oneself, the stronger its potential."
"Which is more important, eyes or hair? That's why I said that kid with ten-year soul rings still has some value, and that it's a waste to even glance at those two hair-based martial souls."
After being lectured by Xuanzi, Wang Yan suddenly realized his mistake and bowed his head in gratitude: "Thank you for your guidance, Elder Xuan."
"Okay, go ahead, don't disturb my drinking and eating..." Xuanzi waved his hand, and the next moment he started snoring.
Drinking wine and eating meat... Ever since that incident, Elder Xuan has become increasingly eccentric.
It seems we need to find a way to get Xiao Xiao to become Xuan Lao's disciple, so that Xuan Lao can regain his confidence through a disciple.
You should know that when Xuan Lao was young and studying at Shrek Academy, he was the number one genius of Shrek Academy, although it seems that he was the only one left in that year.
Wang Yan shook his head and turned to leave.
……
Class 1 of freshmen.
Mu Jin entered the classroom and began announcing the results of the freshman assessment.
The freshman assessment actually has two processes: the first is the assessment that determines whether or not to stay, and the second is the competition that determines the ranking.
Only the teams that survive will be able to participate in the subsequent ranking matches.
There were over ninety students in the class, divided into thirty-one teams. Ultimately, only about twenty teams were able to stay at Shrek Academy.
Those who stayed breathed a sigh of relief, while those who couldn't stay were heartbroken, and some team members even started blaming each other.
The myriad aspects of human life were irrelevant to Wang Dong'er; she was only concerned with what kind of compensation Yan Shaozhe had promised.
"Alright, quiet down." Mu Jin patted the podium.
"Here, I want to give special praise to one group: Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao."
It is known that Xuanzi is a disciple of Senior Brother Mu En. Counting down sixty years in the age of the Sea God Pavilion, he is the third in line, so it is fair to say that he is the only one of his generation.
