Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Two days later.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, as the highest-level Soul Master academy in the Sun Moon Empire, is located in the core area of ​​Mingdu and covers an extremely vast area.

The academy's architectural style is quite different from Shrek Academy's ancient and solemn style, full of metallic texture and the modern feel of soul guidance technology.

A massive soul-guided metal structure supports the magnificent teaching building, experimental tower, and library.

Various complex soul conduits meander across the building's surface, shimmering with the faint glow of energy.

The academy's main gate is magnificent, cast from a high-strength alloy, and engraved with the emblem of the Sun Moon Empire and intricate patterns symbolizing soul-guided technology.

There were guards in standard soul-guided armor strictly guarding the entrance, and identity verification was required to enter or leave.

It is morning.

People come and go at the college gate, with students in uniform silver-gray school uniforms trimmed with gold either hurrying along alone.

The students chatted in small groups, brimming with the vitality of this young university.

the other side.

In the dining area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, there is a quiet dessert shop.

The morning sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

It was scattered obliquely in the corner.

The air was filled with the aroma of coffee and various fruit desserts.

Ye Chen leaned back comfortably in the soft sofa chair, with a cup of steaming tea and a small plate of delicate strawberry cream cake on the small round table in front of him.

He sipped his tea leisurely, his gaze casually sweeping over the students hurrying by outside the window.

Jing Hongchen's efficiency is indeed astonishing.

In just two days, his identity procedures were completely completed.

He is currently a special transfer student, or rather, a "special admission student," at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

This identity itself implies a high degree of freedom, and Jing Hongchen has given it a wide leeway in terms of authority.

Ye Chen toyed with a deep purple card in his hand, which was neither gold nor jade.

This is Jing Hongchen's Level 9 access card.

With it, Ye Chen could move around the academy almost without any hindrance.

Ok……

Apart from female dormitories and certain highly private research rooms exclusively for professors.

Ye Chen can freely enter and exit the core area of ​​the library, the advanced soul guidance laboratory, and the rare metal warehouse with this card.

Of course, it's just about going in and out; you can't take anything without permission. Regardless of whether you get caught or not, it's easy to attract attention.

Ye Chen has money now, so he can buy it at the original price. There's no need for him to be greedy for small gains.

Of course, what made Ye Chen feel most comfortable was that he didn't need to attend classes in a routine manner like other students.

This gave him a lot of free time that he could use at his own discretion.

Ye Chen observed the few other students scattered outside the window and inside the store, his eyes flickering slightly.

The teaching model of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is completely different from that of Shrek Academy.

This place is more like the university in his past life memories. The students are like graduate students. They are no longer divided into fixed classes, but instead learn around a group of senior soul mentors.

Each mentor will lead a group of several to a dozen students, forming a relatively fixed small group, also known as a "laboratory" or "research group".

The mentors will guide students step-by-step in practical skills such as designing and manufacturing soul tools and inscribing core magic arrays, based on their own expertise and research direction.

Theoretical knowledge is mostly learned through self-study and consulting materials. When encountering difficulties, one can consult the tutor or senior students in the same group.

Therefore, large-scale class activities like those at Shrek Academy are rarely seen here.

More often, groups of three or five students would gather together, mostly fellow students under the same advisor, discussing things as they made their way to their respective labs.

There were significantly fewer students in the upper grades and more students in the lower grades.

Geniuses like Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, as sixth-year students, naturally have their own mentors.

As the head of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen holds a superior position. His main focus is on cutting-edge research and hall management, making it impossible for him to mentor a large group of students like an ordinary tutor. However, he will certainly take time out in private to personally guide his grandson and granddaughter, which can be considered as giving them private tutoring.

Jing Hongchen is like a world-class scientific research expert from a previous life, so it's impossible for him to be a teacher in junior high or high school.

But you can tutor your child yourself when you get home.

……

Ye Chen forked a small piece of strawberry cake and put it in his mouth. The sweet but not greasy cream and fruity aroma melted on his tongue.

He waited leisurely.

Not long after, a figure in a white school uniform rushed into the dessert shop like a gust of wind, his eyes scanning the shop eagerly.

When she saw Ye Chen in the corner, her beautiful eyes lit up instantly, and a bright smile bloomed on her face.

"Brother Ye Chen! You really enrolled in school!"

Meng Hongchen jogged over, slightly out of breath.

A few strands of wine-red hair were stuck to her smooth forehead with sweat.

Today she was wearing the college's silver-gray school uniform, with white stockings that Ye Chen liked under her short skirt, exuding a youthful and beautiful aura.

She sat down next to Ye Chen without any hesitation, her little face full of joy and curiosity.

"You really came! I thought Grandpa was kidding me!"

Meng Hongchen clung tightly to Ye Chen, her bright eyes fixed on him with curiosity.

"Yes, I'm your classmate now, so I can come see you every day from now on," Ye Chen nodded and smiled.

"By the way, how did you convince Grandpa? He clearly..."

She recalled her grandfather's previous wariness and vigilance towards Ye Chen.

I find this change to be so fast, it's unbelievable.

She always felt there was something fishy going on, after all, her grandfather wasn't someone who was easy to talk to, especially when it came to matters involving her and the academy.

"It's nothing, I just had an in-depth discussion about the technology with him."

Ye Chen naturally wouldn't tell Meng Hongchen the details of Jing Hongchen kneeling and begging for mercy, or being forced to hand over core information.

After all, Jing Hongchen is the head of Mingde Hall, so it's necessary to save him some face.

Of course, if he said that, it would only cause Meng Hongchen to reject him, so there was no need for that.

Ye Chen picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then glanced at Meng Hongchen, teasingly saying, "Moreover, your grandfather is very satisfied with me and has offered to marry you off to me."

"What! He...he...how could he do this..."

Meng Hongchen gasped in surprise, quickly lowered her head, stammered, and couldn't speak. Her ears turned bright red instantly.

Clearly, she hadn't expected her grandfather to sell her off so easily; it was far too hasty!

"What, it's not allowed? Fine then, I'll find a chance to explain to your grandfather, I'm sure..."

"no!!"

Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, Meng Hongchen tackled him and covered his mouth.

"Oh... so that means you agreed?"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, his voice muffled.

When Meng Hongchen saw the smile in Ye Chen's eyes.

She immediately realized that she had been tricked by Ye Chen.

"Aaaaaah!! You bastard Ye Chen, you tricked me!"

Meng Hongchen was furious and reached out to pinch Ye Chen's face hard.

He was clearly getting a little impatient.
