Shao Wentao knew a bit about Shi Yu's situation. Several times when he went to the student cafeteria to eat, he saw him serving food there, indicating his family situation was very poor.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "There are a few sponsored Soul Ring spots for impoverished students in the class. I can give you one."
"This way, you won't need to get a Soul Ring on credit, but you also need to promise me that you will perform well in this freshman assessment and bring honor to the class. Only then will you be worthy of this spot."
"Thank you, Teacher," Shi Yu said, happily expressing his gratitude.
"I will definitely perform well, at least aiming for a top three rank." Due to his joy, Shi Yu also made a guarantee.
"Good," Shao Wentao nodded with a smile.
The other Teachers had various expressions. Some were indifferent, while others really wanted to say, 'Even after getting a Soul Ring, you'll only be around level twenty, how dare you make such a guarantee?'
Thinking that the other party was a student and he was a Teacher, saying such words might be inappropriate, so he didn't speak up.
A few minutes later, Shi Yu took the sponsorship document issued by Shao Wentao to the Hunter Soul Department to finalize the matter.
"You're lucky, there are Inner Courtyard disciples undergoing their semester assessment right now who can take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to get a Soul Ring. They'll be departing soon; if you were any later, you would have missed it," the Hunter Soul Department Teacher registering him said while registering.
"It seems my luck is quite good," Shi Yu said with a smile. It's better to arrive at the right time than early.
"I hope your luck holds up when you enter the Star Dou Great Forest to search for a Soul Beast. It's not easy to find a Space-attribute Soul Beast; it really depends on luck," the Teacher said with a somewhat unoptimistic tone.
"Hopefully my luck will be good," Shi Yu could only pray like this.
Getting a Soul Ring already depends on luck, and him getting a Space-attribute Soul Ring depends even more on the luck within luck.
After getting the document from the Hunter Soul Department, Shi Yu rushed to the school gate, which was the assembly point.
He was running, but also performing Space movement, covering several meters with each step, not normal running at all.
This was also because he was afraid of being late and missing the departure, which he did not want to do.
Zhang Lexuan walked along the road in casual clothes, walking unhurriedly towards the school gate.
Today, she was going to take a few Outer Courtyard students to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Rings. Helping them obtain Soul Rings and bringing them back unharmed was her Inner Courtyard assessment mission.
The quality of the Soul Rings these people obtained and the extent of their injuries all affected her assessment score.
This kind of assessment was quite common in the Inner Courtyard. It could serve as an assessment for Inner Courtyard disciples while also helping Outer Courtyard students obtain Soul Rings, killing two birds with one stone.
"Hmm?" Zhang Lexuan suddenly felt something and looked to the side, seeing a figure flash past.
Her Soul Power unconsciously circulated, a completely instinctive action.
However, she controlled it well and did not truly erupt.
Her gaze followed the moving figure, her eyes slightly narrowed. This person was constantly using Naruto's Instant Transmission?
"This person's cultivation doesn't seem very high, how can they continuously use Naruto's Instant Transmission?" Zhang Lexuan's mind was full of questions, feeling extremely puzzled.
She had seen the Naruto's Instant Transmission skill before, but this was the first time she had seen someone continuously use Naruto's Instant Transmission several times, even dozens of times.
Strange... Zhang Lexuan also didn't have the idea of calling out to that person to understand the situation; she wasn't a very curious person.
At the school gate, three Outer Courtyard students were waiting quietly. They were going to the Star Dou Great Forest today to obtain Soul Rings and were waiting for the Inner Courtyard disciple who was undergoing the assessment to arrive.
"Nannan, I bought you the breakfast you like," Xu Sanshi said, holding breakfast, with a fawning expression as he approached Jiang Nannan.
Jiang Nannan, however, didn't appreciate it at all and said with a cold face, "Xu Sanshi, have you forgotten our previous bet?"
The smile on Xu Sanshi's face gradually disappeared. He gritted his teeth. If she hadn't mentioned it, it would have been fine, but as soon as she did, he wished he could run over that Shi Yu.
That kid had made him lose face during this period. When he went to find Jiang Nannan, people always gossiped and used this to mock him.
He had also gone to find Shi Yu, wanting to challenge him again.
But that kid refused without hesitation, not giving him a chance to regain face, which was incredibly infuriating.
"Even if people mock me, I won't give up on you," Xu Sanshi said very persistently.
"Hmph," Jiang Nannan also had no way to deal with this scoundrel and turned away, not wanting to look at him.
Xu Sanshi was also thick-skinned and kept pestering her, not giving up so easily.
"Jiang Nan Nan," Shi Yu ran to the school gate and saw Jiang Nannan first, smiling and waving to greet her.
Hearing Shi Yu's voice, Jiang Nannan also smiled and waved back.
Xu Sanshi's face instantly turned gloomy, and he glared over.
Only then did Shi Yu notice that Xu Sanshi was also there. This kid had broken his promise again.
"Jiang Nan Nan, are you also one of the people getting a Soul Ring this time?" Shi Yu walked towards Jiang Nannan, looking around and asking.
It was still class time, and there weren't many students at the school gate. The people going to get Soul Rings might be just the few of them.
Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi, and someone who was possibly Bei Bei. The reason he said possibly was because this person was the one who had spoken up for Xu Sanshi before.
But he didn't know if this was Bei Bei; he could only say it was possible.
"Yes, why are you here? Aren't you in class?" Jiang Nannan also walked towards Shi Yu, speaking with a slight smile on her face.
"I broke through to level twenty and need a Soul Ring. The Teacher from the Hunter Soul Department told me to come to the school gate to join a Soul Hunting team led by an Inner Courtyard disciple," Shi Yu said.
"Congratulations! What a coincidence, that Soul Hunting team should be us," Jiang Nannan was a little happy.
"It is quite a coincidence," Shi Yu and Jiang Nannan chatted happily.
Xu Sanshi, on the other hand, was panting like an ox, his jealousy boiling over. He clenched his fists. Seeing them chatting more and more happily, he couldn't help but roar, "Shi Yu, get away from Nannan!"
Shi Yu and Jiang Nannan both looked over.
"Xu Sanshi, you have no right to control who I spend time with," Jiang Nannan frowned, very displeased with Xu Sanshi's words.
"Xu Sanshi, have you forgotten our previous bet? You're the one who should be staying away from Jiang Nan Nan, right?" Shi Yu retorted.
He hadn't originally planned to talk to Xu Sanshi, but now that he had spoken, he couldn't ignore him.
"What if I break the contract?" Xu Sanshi also went all out, simply acting like a scoundrel.
"Nothing. Your character is poor, and no amount of scolding from me will make you better, so I'm too lazy to scold you."
"I can't force you to keep your promise, but it's necessary to remind you that a real man should value his promises, otherwise it's easy to be mocked and insulted by others. Names like 'turtle bastard' are actually quite suitable for you," Shi Yu said in a light tone.
"Pfft," Jiang Nannan thought of Xu Sanshi's Martial Soul and felt that this description was really fitting.
"You're courting death!" Xu Sanshi's temper flared up instantly, and a powerful Soul Power erupted.
Jiang Nannan immediately stood in front of Shi Yu, also displaying her Soul Power and confronting Xu Sanshi's strength, resolving the pressure on Shi Yu.
