Shao Wentao also looked at Shi Yu a few more times, smiling and praising, "I heard you had a three-move agreement with Senior Xu Sanshi, and you even won. That's very good."
"It was just luck," Shi Yu said modestly.
"Being able to make a Soul Grandmaster unable to do anything to you isn't something that can be explained by luck," Shao Wentao said.
Shi Yu smiled politely and sat down.
"So you're Shi Yu, brother! Playing around with a senior Soul Grandmaster, you're really awesome," Fatty gave Shi Yu a thumbs-up.
"Has this matter spread widely?" Shi Yu asked curiously.
"Of course, that Xu Sanshi is quite famous in the Outer Courtyard. His name is mentioned when talking about the most awesome people in the Outer Courtyard."
"You had a three-move agreement with him because of the most beautiful girl in the Outer Courtyard, Jiang Nannan, and you even won. It's hard *not* to become famous with that," Fatty said with great admiration.
"Keep it low-key, low-key," Shi Yu didn't want to talk about this matter much.
"It's your turn," seeing Teacher Shao Wentao looking at Fatty, Shi Yu reminded him.
"Oh," Fatty quickly stood up.
"My name is Lin Lixuan, Martial Soul is Brown Bear, twenty-fourth level Soul Grandmaster." After all one hundred and seventeen students finished introducing themselves, there were only a few minutes left of the class.
"Get to know each other as soon as possible. In two weeks, I will divide you into groups of three. Get familiar and work together in advance to prepare for the freshman assessment in a few months," Shao Wentao said.
He cared quite a bit about the champion of the freshman assessment and hoped his class would obtain this honor.
He also wanted the students in the class to get used to working together as soon as possible, which would definitely give them an advantage in the subsequent assessments.
"Furthermore, we need to select a class president and a vice class president. If you are interested, you can tell me. At that time, I will write down the names of the students who voluntarily apply and let everyone vote to choose. The one with the most votes wins." After saying that, Shao Wentao announced the end of class and was the first to leave the classroom.
As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the classroom immediately became relaxed. Everyone started discussing amongst themselves, and the classroom became noisy.
Shi Yu was quite talkative and could easily join in conversations.
It was just the start of the semester, and everyone wasn't very familiar with each other. At this time, they were all happy to talk with unfamiliar classmates.
Before the next class started, he had already gotten to know several people.
What made Shi Yu quite depressed was that these people all really liked talking about the matter of his three-move agreement with Xu Sanshi.
He actually didn't really like talking about this matter. It was over, and continuously talking about it was actually just attracting hatred for himself.
The more they talked about it, the greater the possibility that Xu Sanshi would hear about it, get provoked, and come looking for trouble with him.
Xu Sanshi's resentment, or even hatred, towards him would definitely increase by then, and he didn't know what kind of things he might do to retaliate against him.
There were two classes in the morning. The second class was taught by another Teacher, responsible for teaching them knowledge about Soul Beasts.
Shi Yu listened attentively, still quite curious about the knowledge of Soul Beasts, hoping to learn more.
The Soul Beasts he knew about were just the tip of the iceberg. There were tens of thousands of types of Soul Beasts in this world, and there was still a lot waiting for him to learn.
One class introduced ten types of Soul Beasts, making Shi Yu feel that he benefited greatly.
As soon as the class bell rang, Shi Yu quickly left the classroom and hurried to the cafeteria for work.
After the official start of the semester, there were many more students eating in the cafeteria, and the workload increased.
After serving the food, he also had to wash dishes, and he was busy until past one o'clock before he had time to eat.
"Working like this really isn't a solution," Shi Yu complained a little after leaving the cafeteria.
The main reason was that he felt the money was too little. Working like this for ten or eight years wouldn't be enough to pay back the debt from when he obtained his Soul Ring.
"Then do you have any other ways to make money?" Jiang Nannan, who came out with him, couldn't help but ask with a smile.
Shi Yu shook his head. Currently, he really didn't have any good ways to make money.
"Right, Senior Student Nan Nan (Jiang Nannan), what do freshmen need to do if they want to learn Soul Guidance Device crafting?" Shi Yu asked.
The theme of this era was Soul Guidance Devices; this was the real way to make money.
"Are you interested in Soul Guidance Devices?" Jiang Nannan looked Shi Yu up and down.
"Even if it's not for making money, I'm quite interested. I'm very optimistic about the future of Soul Guidance Devices," Shi Yu said.
Soul Guidance Devices came in various forms, some for attack, some for defense, and some with functional purposes. He was quite curious about all of these and also really wanted to try crafting them himself.
"If you really want to learn about Soul Guidance Devices, you might have to wait until the next semester."
"The first half of the first year for freshmen is mainly focused on learning about Martial Souls and Soul Beasts."
"It's not until the second half of the semester that departments are divided. Those with lower talent in Martial Souls who are more interested in Soul Guidance Devices are often assigned to the Soul Guiding Device Department."
"Your Martial Soul talent is very good. I don't recommend you go directly to the Soul Guiding Device Department to study."
"You can take an elective Soul Guiding Device Department course then and study it as a hobby. That might be better," Jiang Nannan said.
"Can't I take an elective this semester?" Shi Yu didn't want to wait too long.
"You can, but do you have that much Time?"
"The focus this semester is still on cultivating and improving your strength. Otherwise, when the freshman assessment starts in a few months, if your strength is insufficient, you will be expelled from Shrek Academy."
"If you get expelled from Shrek Academy because you took an elective Soul Guidance Device course, that would be a huge loss."
"Therefore, most people won't take other elective courses in the first semester of their first year, as that would have some impact on the results of the freshman assessment."
"You also have to work in the cafeteria, so you'll have even less Time to balance everything," Jiang Nannan reminded him seriously.
"I'll think about it," Shi Yu said hesitantly.
After returning to the dormitory, Dai Huabin was already taking a nap and resting in the dorm. Shi Yu moved very lightly, took off his shoes, got into bed, and also planned to take a nap for a while.
"Three-person team. Are you interested in being in a group with us?" Dai Huabin suddenly spoke.
That startled Shi Yu a little.
"Us, and who else?" Shi Yu asked, pretending not to know.
"Zhu Lu, Martial Soul is the top-tier agile attack type Youming Spirit Cat, twenty-sixth level Soul Grandmaster. Her strength and mine are basically among the best in the class. You definitely won't lose out by teaming up with us," Dai Huabin said, sitting up.
Shi Yu also sat up on his bed, seriously considering Dai Huabin's suggestion.
Teaming up must be based on having strong teammates. There's no doubt about the strength of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu; they are among the top-ranked freshmen.
Teaming up with them was a good choice, but the issue of getting along...
"I'm just a Soul Master in the teens. Wouldn't it be a bit of a loss for you to team up with me?" Shi Yu asked, looking at Dai Huabin with a smile.
"Just based on the fact that you could make a Soul Grandmaster attack in anger and still not be defeated within three moves, I believe in your strength," Dai Huabin said.
"Thank you for your invitation. We can team up, but I hope some things can be made clear in advance to avoid conflicts after teaming up. It wouldn't be good to have unpleasantness then," Shi Yu said after considering it.
Dai Huabin: "What things?"
