Shao Wentao glanced at Shi Yu a few more times, then smiled and praised him, "I heard you had a three-move agreement with Xu Sanshi from the senior class, and you won. Very good."
"It was just luck," Shi Yu said modestly.
"The fact that even a Soul Master can't do anything to you can't be explained by luck alone," Shao Wentao said.
Shi Yu smiled politely and sat down.
"Brother, so you're Shi Yu! You really pulled off a fool of a high-level Soul Master, you're awesome!" Fatty gave Shi Yu a thumbs up.
"Is this rumor spreading like wildfire?" Shi Yu asked curiously.
"Of course, Xu Sanshi is quite famous in the outer courtyard; his name is among the most outstanding people there."
"You made a three-move deal with him over Jiang Nannan, the most beautiful girl in the Foreign Languages Department, and you won. It's hard not to become famous after that," Fatty said admiringly.
"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key," Shi Yu didn't want to talk about this much.
"It's your turn," Shi Yu reminded Shao Wentao when he saw him looking at the chubby boy.
"Oh," Fatty quickly stood up.
"My name is Lin Lixuan, my martial soul is Brown Bear, and I am a level 24 Great Soul Master." After all 117 students had introduced themselves, there were only a few minutes left in the class.
"Get familiar with each other as soon as possible. In two weeks, I will have you divided into groups of three to get to know each other and practice together in advance, in preparation for the freshman assessment a few months later," Shao Wentao said.
He cared a lot about winning the freshman assessment and hoped his class would win this honor.
The idea was to help the students in the class get along as quickly as possible, which would definitely be an advantage in subsequent assessments.
"Next, we need to elect a class monitor and a vice class monitor. If any of you are interested, you can let me know. I will write down the names of the students who have volunteered and let everyone vote. The one with the most votes will win." After saying this, Shao Wentao announced the end of get out of class and left the classroom first.
The atmosphere in the classroom immediately became relaxed as soon as he left, and everyone started talking, making the classroom noisy.
Shi Yu is quite talkative and can easily join in the conversation.
Since it's the beginning of the semester and everyone doesn't know each other very well, people are happy to talk to unfamiliar classmates.
He had already met a few people before the next class.
What frustrated Shi Yu was that these people all loved to talk about his three-move agreement with Xu Sanshi.
He doesn't really like talking about this; once it's over, it's over. Continuing to talk about it is just making himself a target of hatred.
The more they talked, the greater the chance that Xu Sanshi would be provoked and come looking for trouble.
Xu Sanshi's resentment and even hatred towards him will definitely increase, and who knows what he might do to retaliate.
There were two classes in the morning. The second class was taught by a different teacher who was responsible for teaching them about soul beasts.
Shi Yu listened attentively, showing considerable curiosity about soul beasts and a desire to learn more.
The soul beasts he knew were just the tip of the iceberg; there were tens of thousands of different kinds of soul beasts in this world, and there was still much for him to learn.
The lesson introduced ten types of spirit beasts, which Shi Yu felt she benefited greatly from.
As soon as the bell rang, Shi Yu quickly left the classroom and headed to the cafeteria for her job.
After the official start of the semester, there were many more students eating in the cafeteria, which increased the workload.
After getting the food, I still had to wash the dishes, and I wasn't able to eat until after 1 a.m.
"Working like this really isn't a solution," Shi Yu complained as she left the cafeteria.
The main problem is that the pay is too low; even working for ten days or eight years wouldn't be enough to pay off the debt incurred when acquiring the spirit rings.
"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; there really weren't any good ways to make money right now.
"By the way, Senior Nan Nan, what do freshmen need to do if they want to learn how to make soul tools?" Shi Yu asked.
The theme of this era is soul tools; that's the real way to make money.
"You're interested in soul tools?" Jiang Nannan looked Shi Yu up and down.
"Even if it weren't for making money, I'd still be quite interested and have a very positive outlook on the future of soul tools," Shi Yu said.
Soul tools come in all shapes and sizes, some for attack, some for defense, and some for other functions. He was curious about all of them and wanted to try making his own.
"If you really want to learn about soul tools, you might have to wait until next semester."
"The first semester of freshman year mainly focuses on learning about martial spirits and spirit beasts."
"The department selection doesn't happen until the second semester. Those who aren't particularly talented in martial spirits but are interested in soul tools are often assigned to the soul tool department."
"Your martial soul talent is excellent, but I don't recommend that you go directly to the Soul Guidance Department to study."
"You could consider taking a Soul Guidance course as a hobby; that might be better," Jiang Nannan suggested.
"Can't we just take it as an elective this semester?" Shi Yu didn't want to wait too long.
"That's possible, but do you have that much time?"
"The focus this semester should still be on cultivating and improving our strength. Otherwise, if we're not strong enough, we'll be expelled from Shrek Academy when the freshman assessments begin in a few months."
"It would be a huge loss to be expelled from Shrek Academy for choosing to study soul tools."
"Therefore, the vast majority of students will not choose other courses in the first semester of their freshman year, which will have some impact on their freshman assessment scores."
"You also have to work in the cafeteria, so you'll have even less time to take care of yourself," Jiang Nannan earnestly reminded her.
"Let me think about it some more," Shi Yu said hesitantly.
Back in the dormitory, Dai Huabin was already taking a nap. Shi Yu moved very quietly, took off her shoes, got into bed, and also planned to take a nap.
"A team of three, are you interested in joining us?" Dai Huabin suddenly asked.
This startled Shi Yu a little.
"Who else is there besides us?" Shi Yu asked, feigning ignorance.
"Zhu Lu, with the top-tier agility-type Netherworld Cat martial soul, is a level 26 Great Soul Master. My strength and hers are basically among the best in the class. Teaming up with us will definitely be a good deal for you," Dai Huabin said, sitting up.
Shi Yu also sat on the bed, seriously considering Dai Huabin's suggestion.
Team formation is definitely based on the strength of teammates. Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's strength is beyond doubt, and they are among the best of all the freshmen.
Teaming up with them is a good option, but there's the issue of getting along...
"I'm just a level 10 or so Soul Master. Wouldn't it be a waste for you to team up with me?" Shi Yu asked Dai Huabin with a smile.
"I believe in your strength just because you can make the Soul Master so angry that he can't defeat you within three moves," Dai Huabin said.
"Thank you for the invitation. We can team up, but I hope we can make some things clear beforehand to avoid conflicts after we team up. It wouldn't be good if things got unpleasant," Shi Yu said after considering it for a moment.
Dai Huabin: "What did you say?"
