When Lu Yi returned to the academy, there was only one day left before the start of the semester.

When he returned to his dormitory, Moon was leisurely basking in the sun in front of the dormitory building, just like always.

Now that Lu Yi knew the other party's identity, he greeted Mu En.

Mu En was surprised by the changes in Lu Yi, so he called Lu Yi to his side and placed his withered hand on him.

With his eyes closed, Mu En carefully felt the sensation, nodded slightly, gave a soft "hmm," and then released his hand.

"Incredible! The change in my physical condition is like a complete transformation. This trip has been incredibly fruitful!"

Lu Yi simply smiled and nodded without replying.

Moon waved his hand gently: "Go ahead and get busy! Let this old man bask in the sun a little longer."

Lu Yi cupped his hands in greeting and went straight back to his dormitory.

Seeing several plants in flowerpots with withered and yellow leaves, barely alive, he quickly watered them.

These were some of the few herbs he had brought to plant. The ingredients themselves didn't matter; the important thing was to wait for them to produce more seeds.

This way, he will have enough seeds to expand planting and accumulate enough materials to make potions in the future.

Just then, Zhou Sichen returned to the dormitory. She was about to step forward and put her arm around Lu Yi when she paused and began to look Lu Yi up and down.

"Lu Yi, why do I feel like you've changed after just one month?"

Lu Yi, puzzled, looked directly into Zhou Sichen's eyes and asked, "Oh, what has changed?"

"You seem more mature now! Like some of the upperclassmen I've met." Zhou Sichen chuckled, raising an eyebrow. "Are there many beautiful women in Xingluo City?"

"There are too many, and because of the hot weather, everyone is dressed very lightly."

Seeing his roommate's thoughts drifting again, Lu Yi deliberately wore a wistful expression: "I originally only planned to stay for a few days, but I ended up staying in bed for over twenty days. It was truly a bittersweet experience!"

you do not say.

Throughout the entire month-long holiday, aside from the memories of the first few days, all that remained were the unforgettable pain of merging with the life-giving metal.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen's pupils dilated in disbelief, then he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

He then stepped forward and stared into Lu Yi's eyes: "I know you're not that kind of person, you're kidding me, right?"

"Why would I tease you? This time I went to all the top-tier venues, and it cost me a full 100,000 gold soul coins!"

"Ever since I discovered that even after absorbing the soul bone, my cultivation level was almost caught up by you."

Zhou Sichen slumped back a few steps and collapsed onto her bed. "I didn't dare to rest for a single day during the holiday, afraid that you would overtake me. I didn't expect you to go and enjoy yourself. If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered so much."

Lu Yi felt that was enough, so he stopped teasing him: "Who said I went to enjoy myself?"

"Huh?" Zhou Sichen looked up abruptly. "Didn't you—"

"Nothing's wrong?" Lu Yi pointed to his refreshed face. "Do I look like what you think?"

Zhou Sichen shook her head, then her eyes lit up: "Then I beg you, teach me how to maintain such a good condition!"

"Get out!"

……

Huo Yuhao arrived late, just as Lu Yi had predicted.

As soon as registration ended and Huo Yuhao returned to the dormitory, Lu Yi heard Wang Dong's resentful screams from downstairs, followed by Huo Yuhao's three apologies. Then the two of them went to find their homeroom teacher, Wang Yan.

Wang Yan naturally took good care of Huo Yuhao. In the end, he patiently listened to Huo Yuhao finish explaining the situation and then took him to find the head of the teaching department, Du Weilun, to explain the situation.

Given Du Weilun's incorruptible character, it would have been impossible for him to make an exception for an outer court student.

However, considering that this was a class that Zhang Lexuan had specially led, even though she had finished her year-long teaching work and returned to the inner academy, it was not appropriate to do such a thing to the students she had taught.

"In principle, you should be fired in this situation, but considering your circumstances, this will not be a repeat offense!"

Du Weilun said with a serious expression, and then, amidst Wang Yan and Huo Yuhao's repeated thanks, he completed the registration process for Huo Yuhao.

……

the next day.

After the morning classes ended, Wang Yan explained the important points for the afternoon assessment before dismissing the get out of class.

Just as Lu Yi and his group were about to go to eat, Dai Huabin blocked the doorway, accompanied by Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie.

The previous year, because of Zhang Lexuan, Dai Huabin had toned down his unruly nature.

However, whenever Dai Huabin saw Zhang Lexuan taking good care of Lu Yi, often keeping Lu Yi behind for private lessons after class, he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he was always being overshadowed.

Now that he has learned that Zhang Lexuan is no longer teaching, Dai Huabin has reverted to his old ways.

"Lu Yi, you were lucky enough to beat me in the freshman assessment and won first place. How about we make a bet this afternoon on who gets a higher score?"

"What do you mean by 'good luck' and winning against you?"

Cao Jinxuan couldn't take it anymore and was about to accept the bet when he heard Lu Yi speak calmly.

"No interest! I'm not gambling!" Lu Yi was completely unmoved. "Can you move aside?"

Just kidding, I'm not going to gamble with someone like you who can't take a bet.

Losing a bet is shameful, but if you win, do you still want to retaliate?

It was as if he had punched cotton. Dai Huabin's expression changed, and the two women beside him were about to speak, but Lu Yi noticed their intention and cut them off.

"Even reverse psychology won't work!"

After saying that, Lu Yi pushed Dai Huabin aside and left with Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan, leaving Dai Huabin standing there awkwardly, his face turning pale and then purple.

Since Lu Yi didn't respond at all, Dai Huabin had nowhere to vent his frustration, so he punched the wall.

Now he had no choice but to settle for second best and go to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who had also brought him humiliation...

In the afternoon, at the Colosseum.

This enormous building, resembling the Colosseum in ancient Rome, is a must-visit place for senior students every week, as battling spirit beasts is one of their compulsory courses.

However, for the two classes of more than 100 students who were preparing for the second-grade entrance exam, this was their first time entering the school.

Lu Yi was speechless when he saw Huo Yuhao walk straight to Dai Huabin before the assessment began and brazenly bring up the bet between the two.

Du Weilun was also present for today's assessment.

He was now very curious about Zhang Lexuan's teaching results. After reading out the assessment rules, he first assessed Class One.

The referee's command rang out: "Zhou Sichen, what is your major? Select the age of the soul beast you wish to challenge."

Zhou Sichen smiled confidently at his friends and stepped forward, answering confidently, "For a strong offensive build, I choose the nine-hundred-year-old soul beast."

After nine months of cultivation, plus the enhancement from absorbing soul bones, Zhou Sichen is now close to level 30, and the strength of his two beast spirits is comparable to that of a Soul Venerable.

But the difference between a thousand-year-old soul beast and a nine-hundred-year-old one is not as simple as just one hundred years.

Millennium-old soul beasts generally develop basic intelligence, which makes their attacks no longer entirely based on instinct, but rather incorporate simple strategies.

He was a little unsure about how to deal with Zhou Sichen, a thousand-year-old soul beast, but if he lowered his standards, Jiu Bai was quite confident.

Coincidentally, the soul beast released from the animal enclosure was also a bear-type soul beast.

Zhou Sichen then released his two beast spirits, and the Yellow Light Bear immediately collided with the Vajra Bear.

However, Lu Yi, standing in the stands, was moved by the scene and realized something else.

The master, who had reached level 29 at the age of 50, was almost killed by a 400-year-old Datura serpent.

Now that I've reached the Master level, how many years of a soul beast should I choose?
