In an instant, the entire testing area burst into an abundance of applause, all celebrating Qian Yu's ascent to an eighth-level soul master!

An eighth-level soul master was held in high esteem and deeply venerated in any country!

Fan Yu sincerely congratulated him, "Congratulations, Qian Yu! Becoming an eighth-level soul master at such a young age."

Qian Yu glanced indifferently at the eighth-rank soul-guidance master badge on the upper right side of his black robe, "Hmm! Thank you, Dean Fan!"

The badge was quite attractive, so he couldn't be bothered to take it off!

Fan Yu shook his head and said, "No need to thank me, now you and I are of the same rank. Even the teachers from Shrek Outer Court should treat you as an equal!"

At that moment, He Caitou suddenly spoke up, "Teacher, when you summoned Qian Yu, did you forget to mention something else?"

Fan Yu realized and said, "Oh, oh! Right! Qian Yu, I came to see you because I have good news for you!"

This time he had managed, not without difficulty, to secure two spots for exchange students! So he immediately thought of Qian Yu and Huo Yuhao!

As for his own disciple, He Caitou, although talented, was still far behind Huo Yuhao and Qian Yu, so he would have to wait for another time!

To let them grow quickly...

Qian Yu said calmly, "Dean Fan, just say it directly."

Fan Yu nodded, "Alright! I'll just say it then, this time we're sending two Exchange Students to the Sun-Moon Empire for a three-year study in soul tool technology! Therefore, I have decided to send you and Yuhao."

Qian Yu coldly retorted, "Three years? Dean Fan, do you think Shrek Academy would actually send a student with an Evil Martial Soul?"

Fan Yu earnestly replied, "Qian Yu, if that's your only concern, then I can assure you, they will!"

"Because at the Sea God's Pavilion meeting, Elder Xuan personally vouched for you!"

A trace of depth flickered through Qian Yu's dark pupils, "Elder Xuan vouched for me?"

Fan Yu smiled and said, "That's right, that's why I came to find you specifically! Although I don't know why Elder Xuan did that, you wouldn't want to stay in Shrek Academy all the time, would you?"

Staying within Shrek Academy, Qian Yu would be subject to all sorts of surveillance, and if he ever broke the academy's rules, harsh punishment would await him!

Qian Yu gave him a look, expressionless, "I agree. Let me know when it's time to leave, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"

With those words, Qian Yu's figure vanished instantly from the testing area...

He Caitou pursed his dark lips and said, "Teacher, may I ask a question?"

Fan Yu inquired with curiosity, "What question?"

He Caitou pointed to the destroyed door beside them and asked speechlessly, "What about the door Qian Yu destroyed?"

Fan Yu's lips curled up slightly, "We'll just replace it with a new one, the Soul Guidance Device Department isn't lacking in doors!"

"Excuse me, teacher," He Caitou was about to turn around and fix the door when...

...he was stopped by Fan Yu, "Wait, Caitou."

He Caitou turned back, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked at Fan Yu...

Fan Yu stared seriously at He Caitou and said, "In your heart, do you resent me for canceling your exchange student opportunity at the last minute?"

The spot for one of the exchange students was originally reserved for He Caitou, but now, with the emergence of two exceptionally talented students, he had personally revoked his own disciple's opportunity!

He Caitou shook his head, "Teacher, I don't blame you!"

However, having said that, his pupils still showed no trace of spirit...

Fan Yu noticed this and asked again, "Caitou, we are master and disciple, there's no need to hide your thoughts. Tell me, do you resent me?"

He Caitou's eyes met Fan Yu's sincere gaze, he slowly nodded, then shook his head...

He Caitou choked up and said, "Although I do hold some blame towards you in my heart, I know that you must have your reasons, teacher. Besides, it's true that Yuhao and Qian Yu will benefit more from going than I would!"

...…

Just as Qian Yu was walking toward the shores of Sea God's Lake, a pleasant voice called out behind him, "Qian Yu!"

Qian Yu stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Beibei and Tang Ya, who were running towards him...

```

Her tone was filled with a biting cold as she said, "Big Brother Beibei, Sister Tang Ya!"

Tang Ya let out a sigh of relief, smiling softly, "Qian Yu, we've finally waited for you!"

Beibei's gaze, however, was drawn to the badge on the upper right side of Qian Yu's chest, shining with a silver light…

In an instant, Beibei felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and in astonishment, he exclaimed, "Qian Yu, that on your chest… is that… a soul master badge?? And it's even… a level 8 soul master!"

A level 8 soul master? This was utterly inconceivable!

Even the highest-ranked soul master at Shrek Academy was only at level 8 and a half!!!

And yet, Qian Yu actually…

Hearing Beibei's exclamation, Tang Ya also subconsciously looked at the badge on Qian Yu, exclaiming with joy, "Qian Yu, I didn't expect you to already be a level 8 soul master??"

In contrast to their excitement, Qian Yu said indifferently, "Hmm! It was given by Fan Yu from the Soul Guidance Device Department."

Tang Ya praised again, "You really deserve to be Little Qian Yu, with such strong talent in both soul tools and Martial Soul!"

Qian Yu went straight to the point, "Sister Tang Ya, Big Brother Beibei, did you need me for something?"

He had no interest in delving into these meaningless issues…

Hearing Qian Yu say this, Tang Ya and Beibei looked at each other…

Then, speaking for Tang Ya, Beibei said, "Qian Yu, Tang Ya and I want to formally invite you to join Tang Sect."

Qian Yu frowned slightly, "Tang Sect?"

Wasn't that the very organization those two were discussing when he had first met them?

Tang Ya nodded, "That's right. In fact, when we first met you, Beibei and I wanted to invite you to join, but at the time we weren't ready to recruit others."

Beibei explained with a smile, "Yes! And Wang Dong, as well as Huo Yuhao, have already joined the Tang Sect! With you joining as a level 8 soul master, the Sect's hidden weapons will surely blossom!"

Qian Yu's gaze met the hopeful eyes of Tang Ya and Beibei…

His heart couldn't help but soften…

But the next second, he still rejected them coldly, "Sorry, Big Brother Beibei, Sister Tang Ya, I have no plans to join any sect right now."

The so-called Tang Sect had only a few people; what difference would it make if he joined?

It was utterly meaningless!

And Huo Yuhao…

Tang Ya and Beibei were both stunned, somewhat not expecting Qian Yu to decisively reject them…

Tang Ya asked urgently, "Qian Yu… why don't you want to join the Tang Sect?"

Beibei was also squinting his eyes, looking intently at Qian Yu…

Anxious to know why Qian Yu wouldn't join the Tang Sect…

Qian Yu pursed her thin lips and slowly turned her back…

Taking a deep breath, she tried to suppress the discomfort in her heart…

I'm sorry, Sister Tang Ya, Big Brother Beibei…

That strange power inside was about to burst forth…

Her voice, as cold as ice, came out, "Because Tang Sect has no reason to exist, it's better for those outdated things to disappear!"

After speaking, Qian Yu no longer lingered and turned into a ghostly figure that vanished into thin air…

Tang Ya staggered back a couple of steps as if lost in thought, and Beibei quickly caught her…

The former looked at the indifferent silhouette of Qian Yu, at a loss for words for a moment…
