10: Bizarre Martial Soul on the Day of Enrollment

At the first light of dawn the next day, Shen Guyan consciously crawled out of bed. Today was enrollment day; he would officially enter Beihai Academy, specifically the Spirit Master class, beginning his learning career for at least the next three years.

According to the regulations of the Sun Moon Federation, Elementary Academies and Intermediate Academies are free compulsory education, with three years of schooling in the Elementary Academy and six years in the Intermediate Academy.

There are several ways to advance to an Advanced Academy: either by gaining admission through excellent Spirit Master grades, or by spending a large sum of money. Of course, one could also enter specialized academies to learn a specific skill.

Shen Yue escorted Shen Guyan to the academy gate before leaving. The academy was close to the North Sea Legion, and she instructed her younger brother to wait for her to pick him up after school before returning to the legion.

In any Spirit Master academy, the Spirit Master class has dedicated teachers to meet students at the academy gate, a treatment significantly better than that of ordinary classes.

While ordinary classes only provide standard cultural education, the Spirit Master class, in addition to that, teaches these students who possess Innate Soul Power how to become a Spirit Master, as well as the basic knowledge of Spirit Masters, preparing them for their future entry into Intermediate Academies.

This year's Beihai Spirit Master class has a total of thirty students. Children with Innate Soul Power upon Spirit Awakening are ultimately too few, even in a large city like the North.

When Shen Guyan arrived, Hong Ying had already been waiting there for a long time.

With her status as a Spirit Conductor, she hardly needed to go through many procedures to apply for a teaching position at such an Elementary Spirit Master academy.

Seeing the teacher go out alone to welcome a student, many new students began to take notice of Shen Guyan.

Shen Guyan's appearance was undoubtedly outstanding; even to these children only six or seven years old, it still had quite a significant impact.

"Hello, my name is Tian Zhenghao. What is your Spirit?" a scrawny, tall, and thin boy leaned over to Shen Guyan and asked.

Everyone present was of the same age, and they were all full of curiosity about the upcoming Spirit Master class life.

Shen Guyan merely glanced at him calmly, not intending to hide it: "My Spirit is a Sword."

"Wow—" Tian Zhenghao said with some surprise, "A sword-type Tool Spirit! Can I see it?"

Shen Guyan did not want to show off to a bunch of brats, so he just said casually: "It's just a very ordinary sword. What about your Spirit?"

Tian Zhenghao smiled mysteriously and lowered his hands: "Hehe, my Spirit is a Body Spirit... If I can Cultivate to a Titled Douluo in the future, I'll be called Sky Pillar Douluo! My Innate Soul Power is Rank 6. Once I have a spirit ring, my First Spirit Skill will be a Sky Pillar, my Second Spirit Skill will be Sky Pillar Shoots the Sun, and my Third Spirit Skill will be Blue Silver Overlord Spear..."

"Stop, stop!"

Shen Guyan's mouth twitched wildly. Good grief, this kid actually possessed a Body Spirit, but...

If he really Cultivated that body part, would he be able to go head-to-head with an opponent?

At this time, the other students present were also showing off their own Spirits, each with its own characteristics. But no matter what the Spirit was, it was at least much more normal than Tian Zhenghao's. Also, because his Spirit was that thing, the female students who had gathered in several groups completely ignored him.

"I will definitely become the number one Spirit Master on the continent!" Tian Zhenghao clenched his fists secretly.

"Then... good luck..." Shen Guyan chuckled dryly and also chose to avoid him.

"Little Spirit Masters, hello everyone. I am your Class Teacher, Hong Ying. In the next three years, I will teach you the basic knowledge about Spirit Masters. Now, please introduce yourselves, including your names, Spirits, and Innate Soul Power Rank." Hong Ying came to the center of the crowd, wearing a friendly smile that easily made people like her.

It seemed to be intentional; Shen Guyan was placed at the end of the line by her to appear as the grand finale.

There were thirty students, so the introductions were fairly quick. Among them were many students with excellent talent, such as one whose Innate Soul Power reached Rank 7 with a Lightning Leopard Spirit.

When Hong Ying heard Tian Zhenghao introduce his Spirit as 'Kun Kun', she couldn't help but be a bit stunned. The other students burst into laughter, and the girls blushed one by one.

Shen Guyan looked at this guy with some sympathy. Truly, the World is vast and full of wonders; what a Genius...

However, Hong Ying was professionally trained; no matter how funny something was, she could refrain from laughing. Her expression quickly returned to normal, and she looked at Shen Guyan, who was the last in the crowd, and smiled: "The last one."

Shen Guyan understood in his heart that Hong Ying was using this opportunity to elevate his status in the Spirit Master class, making it convenient to give him special tutoring in the future.

"Shen Yu, my Spirit is a Sword, Rank 9 Innate Soul Power."

As soon as Shen Guyan's words came out, it immediately caused exclamations from the new students. A sword wasn't anything special, but Rank 9 Innate Soul Power was only slightly less than Innate Full Soul Power!

Hong Ying seemed very satisfied with the surprise of the students present: "Alright, although the amount of Innate Soul Power symbolizes a person's talent, what determines whether a Spirit Master is strong is not just talent, but also the method of Cultivation and the degree of hard work."

"Today is your first day of class. First, I will tell you about the classification of Spirits, and in the afternoon, I will guide you in preliminary meditation. Meditation is the only way to exercise and improve your Soul Power. If you want to become a true Spirit Master, you must work hard."

"As everyone knows, in our World, everyone possesses their own Spirit. Spirits are awakened at the age of six and can be any existence. Those with Innate Soul Power can become Spirit Masters through Cultivation..."

Listening to Hong Ying begin the basic knowledge lecture on Spirit and Spirit Master classification, Shen Guyan immediately lost interest. He had basically figured out these concepts after spending an hour or two on books.

Hong Ying also seemed to notice Shen Guyan's impatience, so she had to secretly cast an apologetic look at him. Regardless, since she had come to be a teacher, she still had to do her job well.

After all, not everyone could be like Shen Guyan, who had been able to access so much knowledge about this World since childhood.

A morning passed quickly. Hong Ying did not expect children of this age to be able to absorb too much knowledge, so she called the students to go eat.

"Xiao Yu, come here, come here." Hong Ying waved enthusiastically at Shen Guyan. She was worried about not finding an opportunity to build a good relationship with the young master of the Shen Family in front of her.

Relying on her status, Hong Ying could get the best food in the teachers' cafeteria.

The importance of diet was self-evident to Shen Guyan; he wouldn't be stupid enough to refuse these nourishing supplements that strengthened his body.

"Xiao Yu, if you can increase your Soul Power by one Rank within a month, I am confident that I can apply for a Spirit Ascension opportunity for you in the future."
