Chapter 47: Second-Level Soul Guidance Badge (Part 2)

  The two teachers in the Teaching Department were both stunned, and Teacher Lu said: "A core disciple of the Soul Guidance Sect?"

  "Zhou Wei, can't you come up with a more plausible excuse? When has our college ever had a first-year student as the core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department? Who doesn't know that to be recruited as a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department, one must at least complete the third-year promotion exam in the Martial Soul Department?"

  Two teachers from the teaching office were stunned for a moment, then Lu teacher turned to Mu Ge and said: "Teacher Mu, we will handle this matter, you should go back to class 2 to take care of the students." Because Zhou Wei's reason was unbelievable, he valued it even more in his heart. And Zhou Wei on the side fanning the flames was obviously not conducive to the unity of the teachers.

  Mu Yu hummed discontentedly and said, "After the results of the investigation come out, I hope the Academy will make an announcement."

  "I'll report to you right now. Huo Yu Hao is my disciple and also the core disciple of my Soul Guidance Sect." A tall figure appeared at the classroom door, it was Fan Yu. Fan Yu was accompanied by Director Du Wei Lun.

  "Director." The two teachers from the Teaching Office hastily greeted Du Weilun.

  Du Weilun walked into the classroom and said in a low voice, "As confirmed by Principal Jingyan Shao and Principal Qian Duoduo, Huo Yu Hao will no longer enjoy the treatment of a core disciple of the Wu Xuan faction. He has officially become a core disciple of the Hun Dao faction. His tardiness was also due to completing the task assigned by Teacher Fan Yu. This matter is now settled. Huo Yu Hao will continue to study the basic knowledge of the Wu Xuan faction in Class 1, Grade 2, until he graduates from Grade 3 and then transfers to the Hun Dao faction for classes."

  With Du Weilun's announcement, the other teachers remained silent, and Mu Jin's eyes were even more filled with incredulity. In her opinion, even if Fan Yu wanted to help Zhou Wei, she shouldn't have used this method! And yet, she had even convinced Du Weilun.

  "No, that's definitely not right. Director Du. What qualifications does Huo Yu Hao have to become the core disciple of the Soul Guidance Division? The core disciples of the Soul Guidance Division must have a very high talent in soul guidance device manufacturing." Mu Ge said discontentedly.

  Fan Yu coldly snorted and shouted: "Huo Yuhao, stand up. Come forward."

  Huo Yu Hao immediately stood up and walked to the front with big strides. He felt a bit puzzled by Mu Ge's targeting of him, but facing so many teachers, he wasn't nervous at all, instead his heart was warm. With Zhou Wei, Wang Yan, and Fan Yu's three teachers protecting him like this, he had an unshakeable sense of confidence.

  With a flick of his wrist, a water-blue octagonal badge appeared in his hand, with two star-shaped diamonds embedded on it.

  "Huo Yuhao has been studying with me to create soul tools since the end of last year's freshman assessment. After eight months, under my guidance, he passed the second-level soul engineer exam. According to our academy's status in the soul engineer world, I consulted with Vice President Qian Duoduo of the Soul Engineer Department and obtained his confirmation. This second-level soul engineer badge is specially awarded to him. In just eight months, a ordinary soul master became a second-level soul engineer, this talent has created history in Shrek Academy's Soul Engineer Department. How can we not take him as our core disciple?"

  This is a shock. Even Du Weilun was greatly surprised, he didn't know anything about Huo Yu's situation in the Soul Guidance Department!

  Eight months of study and he became a second-level soul guide? This can no longer be described as genius in the Soul Guide department. Don't forget, Hou Yu Hao is only twelve years old now! Even in the Dayan Empire, which attaches great importance to soul guides, a twelve-year-old second-level soul guide is extremely rare. How could this be, how could this be?

  But now, it's impossible for him to stop the Soul Guidance Department from taking in Ho Yu Hao as its core disciple. He had just publicly announced it after all. Du Weilun completely believed that Fan Yu wouldn't fabricate such a thing, but the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He could only secretly comfort himself, thinking that Ho Yu Hao was simply talented in Soul Guidance. No wonder Dean Qian personally went to find Dean Yan to discuss this matter - there was indeed a hidden plot behind it all. What a huge mistake! If only he had known earlier, even if they still agreed to let Ho Yu Hao become the core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department in the end, at least Dean Yan would have been able to get more benefits from Dean Qian.

  Although the status of Martial Soul Department in Shrek Academy is far higher than that of Soul Guidance Department, it is not as rich. Many times, the Martial Soul Department still has to rely on the Soul Guidance Department for funding.

  Zhou Wei gave Mu Jin a cold glance, "Director Du, as the class teacher of Class 2, you're stirring up trouble in my Class 1, isn't that inappropriate?"

  Du Weilun immediately woke up from his regret, it's too late for regrets now, and said in a low voice: "Teacher Mu, return to your class immediately, don't let this happen again."

  Mu Yan looked at Zhou Wei with a hint of hatred, then glanced at Fan Yu's expressionless face, and suddenly turned around and left.

  Zhou Wei said faintly: "Director Du, I think Mu teacher's attitude is not suitable for being a class advisor, it will delay those excellent students."

  Du Weilun furrowed his brow and said, "This is a matter for the school administration. Alright, you all continue with your classes. The upgrade assessment will begin this afternoon, and I'll personally go to observe the situation on the side of the second-year students." After finishing speaking, he nodded towards Fan Yu before turning around and leaving with two teachers from the Teaching Affairs Office.

  Fan Yu patted Ho Yu Hao's shoulder and followed Du Wei Lun to leave, officially announcing Ho Yu Hao as the core disciple. This matter has been confirmed by Dean Yan Shao Zhe and is now set in stone, even if the Wu Hun system wants to regret it, it's already impossible. After leaving the classroom, Fan Yu's mouth corner involuntarily revealed a faint smile. The Soul Guidance System, even if it can't rise in this generation, with Ho Yu Hao and Chao Tou's generation, it will definitely be possible.

  Huo Yuhao sat back in his seat under the strange gazes of his classmates, and apart from Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong who had already known about it, today's events shocked the entire Class One.

  After a year of study, everyone knew that Huo Yuhao was an orphan with no background. However, after he entered Shrek Academy, it seemed like he received more preferential treatment than anyone else. First, Zhou Wei expelled two core disciples for him, and then the Soul Guidance Department accepted him as a core disciple and awarded him a second-class soul guidance badge. Not to mention anything else, just with this second-class soul guidance badge, Huo Yuhao could receive excellent treatment and be employed in any country on the continent. A soul guidance master was a talent that every country urgently needed, and could even be called a strategic resource.

  ……

  "What? A second-level soul guide?" Yan Shaozhe looked at Du Weilun in surprise, his mind racing, and for a moment, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.

  Du Weilun rushed over to report to him as soon as he left Class 1 of Grade 2.

  "Ruined! Cheated! I've been taken in by this old thing's many tricks!" Yan Shaozhe slammed his hand on the table, his face full of regret.

  Du Weilun said, "Dean Yan, it's not that serious. If Hao Yuhao is only talented in soul guide device manufacturing, becoming the core disciple of the Soul Guide Department is also a good use of his abilities."

  "No, it's not that simple. You're overlooking one thing - if what you said is true, then why would Soul Guidance be in such a hurry? They could just wait until Hou Yu Hao reaches the fourth grade and announce him as their core disciple then。 A student who only excels in soul tool crafting will never be valued by our Martial Soul Department。 As for his tardiness this time, Zhou Wei and Wang Yan can come up with some other excuse to cover it up。 But Qian Duo Duo personally came to me to settle this matter, even using the wager I lost to him back then。 Have you thought about what this means?"

  Du Weilun was also shocked, "You're saying that Huo Yuhao is not only valued by the Soul Guidance Department, but also has a place that should be valued by my Martial Soul Department?"

  Yan Shao nodded, "It must be so. Otherwise, Qian Duoduo wouldn't have come to find me at the first time. No wonder I always felt that something was wrong. I didn't expect that this time, Tie Gongji would outsmart me."

  Du Weilun smiled bitterly and said, "Director, things have come to this point. The Soul Guidance Department has already announced that he is a core disciple. We can only acknowledge it now. After all, he's just an ordinary student. There are many excellent talents in their generation. From now on, we'll pay attention and won't let the Soul Guidance Department take advantage of us again."

  "Hmm." Yan Shaozhe nodded and said, "Alright, this afternoon's promotion assessment, you must participate in the whole process. In addition to examining several core disciples, pay special attention to this Huo Yu Hao. If he really performs exceptionally well, inform me immediately. No mistake, normally we can't go back on our word, but if this child himself wants to quit and withdraw from the Soul Guidance Department?"

  At this point, Yan Shaozhe's face couldn't help but reveal a sly smile. I couldn't directly take him as my core disciple, but if he were to ask for it himself? That would be a different story altogether! This matter isn't entirely without room for maneuvering after all!

  ……

  The morning class didn't end with the bell ringing, after explaining various precautions for the upgrade assessment in the afternoon, Zhou Wei announced the dismissal. Let the trainees go back to prepare, adjust their state to the best, and gather in the Beast Fighting Zone in the afternoon to take the assessment.

  Pulling up the second-level Soul Guide badge from his collar, Huo Yu's heart couldn't help but surge with a strong sense of accomplishment. The azure eight-pointed star badge was exquisitely crafted, and the two diamonds inlaid on it sparkled dazzlingly.

  "Don't be so smug." Wang Dong couldn't help but tease: "Your mouth is almost stuck together."

  He Yu Hao chuckled and said, "It's said that with this thing, it's equivalent to getting the Soul Guide Association's certification. No matter where you go, you can get a pretty good job. From now on, at least food and clothing won't be a problem."

  Wang Dong said in a bad mood: "Look at your little talent. Let's go, go back and cultivate."

  Huo Yu Hao's face was full of surprise as he said: "Has the sun risen from the west? When did you become so diligent?"

  Wang Dong hummed and said, "I've always been very diligent, okay?"

  Something even more exciting is about to begin! Hehe.
