Chapter 58 Soul Ascension Pill, Everyone Breaks Through!
The three of them arrived at the teaching building where the dean's office was located.
Knock on the door and enter. Yan Shaozhe is sitting behind his desk reviewing files. Seeing Dai Huabin and the other two, he puts down his pen and gestures for them to sit down.
"How is your recovery going?" This question was directed at Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.
"It's alright." Dai Huabin sat down in the chair, and Zhu Lu followed and sat down next to him.
Wang Dong'er didn't sit down; she stood to the side.
Yan Shaozhe didn't press the issue and got straight to the point.
"The academy has already dealt with what happened this morning."
He glanced at Wang Dong'er.
"Zhou Yi will be transferred from her first-grade teaching position effective immediately and will no longer serve as the homeroom teacher of Class 1."
Wang Dong'er's expression didn't change; she simply nodded slightly.
"The new homeroom teacher for Class 1 will be Ms. Mu Jin, the former homeroom teacher of Class 2."
Upon hearing this, the three people reacted differently.
Zhu Lu showed little emotion, but she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Wang Dong'er's shoulders visibly relaxed a bit.
Dai Huabin was genuinely happy.
Besides the more comfortable teaching environment, the fact that Mu Jin is a homeroom teacher means that she has a personality that is suitable for acting as a bridge.
It will be much more convenient to take leave or do anything else in the future.
"In addition."
Yan Shaozhe opened the drawer, took out a small brown cloth bag, and placed it on the table.
"What happened this morning was ultimately due to the teacher's misconduct, which frightened you. This is a small compensation from the academy."
He untied the rope of the cloth bag, poured out three round, milky-white pills, and placed them on the table.
Soul Ascension Pill.
Dai Huabin recognized it.
This thing appeared in the original work; it's a special pill from Shrek Academy that can accelerate soul power cultivation, with an effect equivalent to at least two to three months of arduous training.
The three coins correspond to him, Zhu Lu, and Wang Dong'er.
The accounts were kept very clear.
Yan Shaozhe had just finished arranging the pills when he suddenly stopped.
"By the way, there should be two other people waiting at your door, right?"
Dai Huabin was taken aback, then realized it was Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie.
Yan Shaozhe shook his head and took out two Soul Ascension Pills from his bag and placed them on the table.
"Five. That way you won't be stuck in the middle."
Yan Shaozhe's tone was casual, but his meaning was clear: The extra two coins were given out of respect for Dai Huabin.
Dai Huabin smiled and cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Dean Yan."
Wang Dong'er glanced at the five pills on the table, then looked at Yan Shaozhe's expression. Her lips moved, but she ultimately said nothing.
She did some mental calculations.
A single Soul Ascension Pill is quite valuable.
All five were given out at once, and the dean himself came forward to help.
This treatment, though ostensibly an apology, clearly showed to everyone that Yan Shaozhe valued Dai Huabin far more than ordinary freshmen.
Zhu Lu reached out and put the five pills into her small bag, then stood up and bowed slightly.
"Thank you, Dean."
Yan Shaozhe nodded: "Go back and get some rest. Classes will officially start tomorrow, and Teacher Mu Jin will be there."
The three said their goodbyes and left.
As soon as they stepped out of the office corridor, they saw Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie squatting by the flower bed at the end of the corridor, each holding a leaf in their hand and playing with it.
Seeing the three of them come out, Xiao Xiao jumped up and asked, "So? What did you say?"
Dai Huabin briefly explained the outcome of the investigation.
"Zhou Yi has been transferred, and Ms. Mu Jin has come to be our class teacher."
Xiao Xiao's reaction was to jump up and down on the spot.
"Really! Ms. Mu Jin is coming to class?"
Cui Yajie stood up and dusted off her skirt: "So, does that mean we can be with Teacher Mu Jin again?"
"Um."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Dai Huabin took the small bag from Zhu Lu, poured out two Soul Ascension Pills, and handed them to Cui Yajie and Xiao Xiao.
"And this Soul Ascension Pill. Dean Yan gave it to me separately."
Cui Yajie took it and her pupils contracted slightly.
"Soul Ascension Pill?"
Xiao Xiao peeked at the pill in Cui Yajie's hand and gasped:
"I've heard of this stuff; one is enough to sustain you for several months of cultivation! Is it for us?"
"These are for you."
Cui Yajie hesitated for a moment, wanting to push the pill back: "Class monitor, this is too precious, we..."
Wang Dong'er snorted from the side, interrupting her.
"Dean Yan gave you more because of the class monitor's influence. You're passing the buck. Do you expect him to return it to Dean Yan?"
Cui Yajie choked for a moment.
Xiao Xiao held the pill, looked carefully at Dai Huabin, then at Zhu Lu, and lowered her head to whisper:
"Thank you, class monitor."
Cui Yajie accepted it too, her beautiful eyelashes drooping slightly:
"Thanks, class monitor."
Dai Huabin waved his hand: "Alright, stop making excuses, let's find a place to digest this quickly. The sooner we absorb it, the better."
The five of them did not return to their dormitory, but went directly to the open-air training ground on the east side of the outer courtyard.
There weren't many people in the training ground at this time; only a few second- or third-year students were practicing.
Dai Huabin led the four to a secluded corner, where the five of them sat in a circle.
Zhu Lu gave the remaining three pills to Dai Huabin and Wang Dong'er, and kept one for herself.
"Absorb them together?" Xiao Xiao looked at the Soul Ascension Pill in her hand, a little nervous.
"Together." Dai Huabin nodded. "Lulu and I will protect you from the outside. The three of you take the medicine first."
Wang Dong'er frowned: "Aren't you going to eat first?"
"Lulu and I have stronger initial soul power, so we can absorb it later. The three of you have slightly lower soul power levels, so the effects of the Soul Ascension Pill will be more noticeable for you."
Wang Dong'er looked at him for a while and then didn't refute him.
Cui Yajie was the first to put the pill in her mouth, then closed her eyes and sat cross-legged.
The pill melts instantly upon entering the mouth, and a warm energy unfolds in the dantian, flowing slowly along the meridians.
Xiao Xiao swallowed the pill, her little face scrunching up slightly:
"It's a bit bitter."
Wang Dong'er glared at her: "Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and start meditating."
After saying that, Wang Dong'er also swallowed her own.
The three of them simultaneously entered a meditative state.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu sat down on either side of the three of them, with their backs to them, keeping an eye on the surroundings.
About half an hour later, the fluctuations of soul power on Cui Yajie's body changed first.
The previously stable soul power suddenly condensed in the dantian and violently impacted the soul power barrier.
Level 26, complete.
Cui Yajie had been stuck on the edge of level 25 for a while, and the boost from the Soul Ascension Pill helped her overcome that hurdle.
When she opened her eyes, the aura of the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit briefly overflowed, and a faint light appeared at the ends of her pink hair before disappearing.
"Passed?" Zhu Lu turned to look at her.
Cui Yajie nodded slightly and exhaled a breath of stale air.
Next up was Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao had already accumulated a lot of foundation when she absorbed the second soul ring of 990 years, and her soul power was already over level 21.
After the energy of the Soul Ascension Pill was poured in, it broke through the level 22 barrier without any hindrance, and only stabilized at level 23.
Two consecutive jumps.
When Xiao Xiao opened her eyes, she was a little dazed.
"I...I'm level 23?"
Cui Yajie smiled and nodded: "Yes. You felt it, didn't you?"
"I can feel it! My soul power is much more abundant than before!" Xiao Xiao clenched her little fist, her delicate face full of surprise.
Wang Dong'er was the last to open her eyes.
Her foundation was already slightly higher than Xiao Xiao's, previously at level twenty-two. After digesting the Soul Ascension Pill, her soul power steadily stabilized at level twenty-four.
Wang Dong'er sensed the flow of soul power within her body. Her expression didn't change much, but she loosened her clenched fist.
Level 24.
There are still eleven levels to go before Dai Huabin reaches level thirty-five.
However, it's a little closer than yesterday.
After the three finished absorbing the nutrients, they stood up and stepped aside, allowing Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu to take their place.
Dai Huabin sat down cross-legged and put the Soul Ascension Pill into his mouth.
The energy of the elixir dissolved on the tip of his tongue, much gentler than he had expected.
Perhaps because the meridians modified by the living metal had a stronger capacity to withstand the energy, this energy was completely absorbed after circulating through the meridians.
My soul power steadily progressed from level 35 to level 36.
There was no sense of breakthrough or explosive surge of soul power; it simply filled in one level steadily.
With a soul power level of 36, I've already reached the mid-to-late stage of the third soul ring. The next step is to consider the fourth soul ring.
The commotion on Zhu Lu's side was a bit bigger.
She had just fused with the right leg bone of the Netherworld Ghost Leopard, and her soul power had reached the bottleneck range of level 29.
After the energy of the Soul Ascension Pill surged in, it got stuck at the level 29 and 30 levels, and it took quite a while to break through to level 30.
When Zhu Lu opened her eyes, she was a little surprised herself.
She looked down at her hands, and the aura of the Netherworld Cat's Spirit flowed through her fingertips for a moment.
"Lulu has broken through to level 30!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed softly from the side.
Cui Yajie clapped her hands: "Congratulations."
Zhu Lu stood up, stretched her wrists, and looked back at Dai Huabin.
Dai Huabin nodded to her.
Level 30 means that Zhu Lu can now hunt for her third spirit ring.
The academy promised a reward for helping them hunt for the best spirit rings, which would come in handy. And the place where one could obtain spirit rings without leaving the academy was naturally the arena!
Wang Dong'er stood to the side, arms crossed, watching everyone's reactions while making her own plans.
Cui Yajie was level 26, Xiao Xiao was level 23, Zhu Lu was level 30, and Dai Huabin was level 36. As for herself, she was level 24.
She ranked fourth out of five people.
Wang Dong'er pursed her lips.
Back when she was in the Clear Sky Sect, she was the strongest among her peers.
Upon arriving at Shrek Academy, she achieved second place in the freshman assessment, which is considered top-tier.
But standing among these people...
"Dong'er, what are you calculating?" Cui Yajie came closer.
"When will I be able to catch up?" Wang Dong'er's answer was very direct.
Cui Yajie chuckled but didn't reply.
Dai Huabin stretched his shoulders, stood up, and looked at the sky.
The sun was still hanging in the west; there was still some time before dusk.
"Good progress today." He looked around. "Tomorrow, Ms. Mu Jin will officially take over Class One. Everyone, please cooperate well."
Xiao Xiao raised her hand: "Class monitor, will Zhou Yi come looking for trouble with us in the future?"
"No." Dai Huabin thought for a moment, then added,
"At least not in first grade."
Wang Dong'er snorted coldly: "If she dares to come again, I'll fight her."
Zhu Lu turned her head and glanced at Wang Dong'er, without saying anything, but the corners of her mouth curved slightly.
The group tidied up and prepared to return to their dormitory.
As they left the training ground, Dai Huabin lagged behind, his mind already racing with plans for what to do next.
Before the first year's holiday, I will increase my soul power as much as possible, and then persuade Ice Emperor before Huo Yuhao!
In the world of Divine Throne, there are many contracts, and this may be the key to persuading Bing Di!
Of course, all of this requires Mr. Yi's help.
However, Dai Huabin also had a backup plan: information about the Snow Emperor and the whereabouts of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow!
