Chapter 16 Class Assignment
Beibei felt uneasy under Ye Nanxiao's gaze and quickly said, "Our offensive and control styles are roughly the same, but our agile style is quite different. Anyway, your name is already all over the freshmen. Are you afraid Nannan will be snatched away?"
Jiang Nannan pressed Ye Nanxiao back into his seat, her small hands constantly stroking his fox ears, comforting him, "Don't worry, what are you afraid of?"
Ye Nanxiao reached out and grasped Jiang Nannan's soft hand, muttering, "I'm not afraid of that, but I can't see you the moment I open my eyes."
Lin Susu bit the lollipop in her mouth and glared angrily at Ye Nanxiao. If she weren't outmatched, she would have fought him to the death.
Seeing that Lin Susu was getting angry, Bei Bei quickly changed the subject, saying, "Our Tang Clan is famous for its hidden weapons. It was only because of the emergence of soul tools that hidden weapons gradually faded from the stage of history, which is also an important reason for the decline of our Tang Clan."
"For the rise of the Tang Clan, we must revive hidden weapons, but it cannot be as simple as before. We need to combine the two. What are your thoughts on soul tools? Especially you, Nan Xiao, you are the vice sect leader of our Tang Clan."
Bei Bei emphasized the words "Vice Sect Master," which drew a glare from Ye Nanxiao. Ye Nanxiao glanced around, ignoring Lin Susu who was chewing on a few lollipops, and said, "The combination of soul tools and hidden weapons is inevitable. Although not many people are talking about it now, the development of soul tools is an inevitable trend. We should develop ourselves first, and when it's about time, we'll ask the Dean to establish a sect and see if we can directly recruit disciples from the academy. After all, the Tang Sect was founded by Tang San's ancestor, and Shrek Academy will give us some help. As for other aspects, you don't need to rush to leave them to me. I am the Vice Sect Master." He looked at Tang Ya when he said the last sentence.
According to the original story, Tang Ya couldn't bear the pressure of rebuilding the sect and cultivating herself, which led her to attack a small sect and be taken away by an evil soul master elder. This had a significant impact on both the development of the Tang Sect and Ye Nanxiao's grand plan of "salted fish".
Tang Ya looked away guiltily when she saw Ye Nanxiao staring at her. She did have the idea of going to reclaim the sect on her own, but Ye Nanxiao's words today greatly reduced the pressure on Tang Ya's shoulders.
Lin Susu said with some doubt, "I think we Soul Masters should focus on cultivation, right? Researching Soul Tools is something only Soul Masters with poor talent or weak Martial Souls would be willing to do, isn't it?"
Tang Ya said with some helplessness, "You guys really are outstanding students of the Martial Soul Department! This is a typical mindset of Martial Soul Department students. In reality, not to mention you, even Bei Bei and I feel that there is not enough time for cultivation, and we really spend very little time focusing on soul tools."
Ye Nanxiao glared at Lin Susu. "Soul tools have their own wonders. They can replace our Tang Clan's hidden weapons as the most valued weapons in various countries on the continent. Their power must be no less."
"Yes, yes, Nanxiao, are you interested?" Tang Ya asked excitedly.
"I am somewhat interested, but we still need to find students majoring in Soul Guidance Devices. I think the task of finding these talents can be entrusted to me. I'm sure I can find two." Ye Nanxiao said confidently.
"But you have to handle so much by yourself, and you also have to cultivate. Why don't you just leave it to me? After all, I am the sect leader of the Tang Clan," Tang Ya said with a worry.
"Relax, trust me. You've made your decision, so trust your own judgment," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
"However," Ye Nanxiao continued, "we are the champions of the freshman assessment, so becoming core disciples of the Martial Soul Department should be no problem, right? Once we become core disciples of the Martial Soul Department, the academy will devote more resources to us, allowing us to cultivate diligently and become stronger Soul Masters. Under such circumstances, the Martial Soul Department will naturally not allow you to be distracted by choosing the Soul Guidance Department. In our academy, the Martial Soul Department should be in a dominant position."
As he spoke, Ye Nanxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he abruptly looked up, saying, "So, Nannan and I are still in the same class!"
Looking at Ye Nanxiao, who was as excited as a child, Jiang Nannan smiled, her heart filled with tenderness.
The next day, it was another sunny morning. Thanks to the presence of Poseidon Lake on campus, the air at Shrek Academy was fresh and the humidity was just right.
All the new students who passed the assessment gathered at Shrek Square, waiting for the upcoming class assignments.
Soon, Du Weilun, the director of the Martial Soul Department's Academic Affairs Office, arrived in front of the students with more than a dozen teachers. Among these teachers, Ye Nanxiao only recognized two: one was their former homeroom teacher, Yu Chu, and the other was Teacher Wang Yan. He only had a vague impression of the other teachers.
Du Weilun, holding a folder in his hand, smiled as he scanned the group of students for a week before saying, "As you all know, the freshman assessment elimination round has ended, and the final top three have been determined. Now, I will formally announce them and their rewards. The third place winner of the freshman assessment is Luo Xinyao's team, whose members are Luo Xinyao, Lan Yuning, and Gu Xiyu. Please step forward."
Led by Luo Xinyao, the three of them walked out together and came to Du Weilun. Their young faces were slightly flushed with excitement. Winning third place had exceeded their expectations!
The first-year students erupted in applause. Next, the second place went to Le Xun's team. When Le Xun went on stage to receive the award, Ye Nanxiao glared at him, and he almost dropped the prize. Le Xun didn't want to experience Ye Nanxiao's strange pressure a second time.
After a slight pause, Du Weilun raised his voice slightly and said, "Now, please give a warm round of applause to welcome the final champions of our freshman assessment. They are Ye Nanxiao's team, and the team members are Jiang Nannan, Lin Susu, and Ye Nanxiao."
Immediately, enthusiastic cheers erupted throughout the venue. However, when Du Weiren made the announcement, Ye Nanxiao and the other two were slightly taken aback, as Ye Nanxiao's name was at the very end.
Du Weilun said, "Alright, now I will announce the rewards for the top three teams in the freshman assessment. The top three teams will receive a unified reward from the academy. Each member can request a spirit ring from the academy when they need one, and the academy will assist them in obtaining a spirit ring that they can afford and that is most suitable for them."
Upon hearing this reward, the entire audience erupted in surprised exclamations. This reward was equivalent to the academy's promise that the next spirit ring for Ye Nanxiao and the other nine would definitely be a limit spirit ring. For example, if Ye Nanxiao's second spirit ring could withstand seven hundred years, then the academy would find him a suitable seven hundred-year spirit ring. This would be the case for everyone, and this reward was undoubtedly substantial.
All nine people who received the reward, except for Ye Nanxiao, were pleasantly surprised. Ye Nanxiao frowned. Soul rings? He didn't need Shrek Academy to provide his own.
Just as Du Weiren finished announcing the class assignments and was about to begin, Ye Nanxiao's reply nearly made him drop the documents in his hands: "Director, I don't want the spirit ring reward. Can I choose another one?"
The entire audience erupted in uproar. Jiang Nannan was somewhat used to Ye Nanxiao's occasional "amazing feats," and was more composed than Bei Bei and the others.
Trying to maintain a smile, Du Weilin asked somewhat awkwardly, "May I ask why you don't need it?"
Ye Nanxiao's next answer nearly made Du Weilin slap a document across Ye Nanxiao's face: "If I don't need it, I don't need it."
Jiang Nannan took a few steps toward Ye Nanxiao, leaned against his back, and whispered, "Don't be so blunt, give me a reason."
Ye Nanxiao replied softly, "I haven't thought of that yet."
"Calm down, calm down. I'm the Dean of Students; I need to maintain my authority." Taking a deep breath, Du Weiren smiled again and asked, "Then I need to consult with my superiors. It's true that you can apply to the school, but generally speaking, the reason for your request is not permitted."
After Ye Nanxiao, whose waist was being pinched, nodded in agreement, Du Weilun continued with the class assignments.
Du Weilun continued, "In view of the outstanding performance and undefeated record of the champion Ye Nanxiao team throughout the competition, the academy has decided to award them a special prize. This prize will be kept confidential by the academy. You can come with me to collect it after the class assignments are completed."
No student objected to Ye Nanxiao and his team receiving extra rewards. Ye Nanxiao's amazing performance and perfect record of almost always defeating two opponents in one match made it clear that their championship win was entirely due to their skill and that receiving more rewards was entirely reasonable.
Du Weilun said, "The quality of this year's freshmen is even better than before. I hope you will continue to work hard. Heaven rewards diligence. No matter how talented you are, you will not reap good rewards without hard work. Shrek Academy is the number one soul master academy on the continent. I hope that you will all graduate smoothly and achieve excellent results. In view of the outstanding freshmen who have emerged in this year's freshman competition, the academy has specially approved a group of students to become core disciples of the outer academy. Now I will announce the list."
Shrek Square fell silent. Core disciples weren't just those from the top three teams. Although Du Weiren hadn't said it, everyone knew that core disciples from the outer academy would receive preferential treatment in terms of academy resources. Since it concerned their own interests, these junior students listened attentively, afraid of missing their names.
Du Weilun opened the folder in his hand and read aloud, "Based on the performance of the new students in the assessment, the Academy has finally approved the following core disciples: Ye Nanxiao."
As everyone expected, the first one was Ye Nanxiao.
"Jiang Nannan, Bei Bei, Lin Susu, Shen Ciyuan, Luo Xinyao, Lan Yuning, Gu Xiyu, Mo Xuan, and Tang Ya."
Tang Ya was overjoyed upon hearing her name and threw herself into Bei Bei's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
Tang Ya knew that her own talent was not that great, but she entered Shrek Academy by relying on the lingering influence of the Tang Sect.
Ye Nanxiao knew that this little girl was somewhat insecure, and coupled with the affairs of the sect, she was very sensitive and couldn't confide all her troubles to Beibei.
Unable to confide in Beibei, he could only tell his troubles to his best friend, Jiang Nannan.
After Jiang Nannan noticed Tang Ya's situation, she told Ye Nanxiao, hoping he could help Tang Ya.
During the competition, Ye Nanxiao gave Tang Ya some combat advice based on the original work, and the effect was unexpectedly remarkable.
