Small Attention

Ran Yuming gave Su Luoheng half a day off as a reward for becoming a second-level soul engineer.

Meanwhile, Ran Yuming hurried to the office of the dean of the academy. Upon hearing that Su Luoheng had broken through to become a second-level soul engineer, Lin Jiayi was equally astonished. However, since the batch of pills involved was of great importance, he dared not make the decision himself. After reassuring Elder Ran, he immediately reported the news to Jing Hongchen for a final decision.

At the center of the experiment area in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy was Mingde Hall.

Facing Jing Hongchen respectfully, Lin Jiayi reported the news about Su Luoheng.

At first, Jing Hongchen was indifferent, leaning back in his chair and sipping tea casually. But when Lin Jiayi mentioned that Su Luoheng had reached the level of a second-level soul engineer, his body froze. He sat up, his expression growing more and more surprised.

"That child has broken through to become a second-level soul engineer? Are you certain?"

"Yes, just a quarter of an hour ago, Elder Ran personally informed me. The child's first soul skill is 'Analysis,' which allows him to perceive the core formations of soul tools. He also brought five second-level soul tools that he created. I've already inspected them thoroughly, and there seems to be no problem."

As Lin Jiayi spoke, he presented the five soul tools.

"Analysis of soul tools?!"

Jing Hongchen didn't even look at the soul tools but stood up abruptly from his chair. His sharp gaze fixed on Lin Jiayi.

"Yes, Elder Ran has already tested it. Currently, he can analyze second- or third-level soul tools. Elder Ran speculates that as Su Luoheng's soul power increases, the range of analysis will also expand."

Lin Jiayi didn't hold anything back, immediately revealing everything he knew.

"A soul skill like that exists!"

After hearing Lin Jiayi's explanation, a look of shock flashed across Jing Hongchen's eyes, and a ripple of excitement stirred in his heart.

To be able to analyze soul tools!

This skill might not be of much use in the realm of soul masters, but in the field of soul engineers, it was a godsend. As long as Su Luoheng continued to develop normally, and with the nurturing of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, he would undoubtedly become a ninth-level soul engineer in the future!

Thankfully, such a talent was in their academy.

Moreover, a talent like this in soul engineering could only fully shine in their academy!

But why wasn't this mentioned during the enrollment?

Could it have been overlooked?

With that thought, Jing Hongchen casually asked, "Why wasn't such important information recorded when he enrolled?"

"Master, Elder Ran was responsible for Su Luoheng's evaluation when he enrolled."

Lin Jiayi cupped his hands and smiled wryly.

Upon hearing this, a trace of understanding flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes, and he chuckled. "No wonder. I was wondering why Elder Ran insisted on accepting this child. This is the reason!"

"I only just figured it out myself."

Lin Jiayi couldn't help but feel embarrassed as he recalled how he had tried to persuade Elder Ran back then.

Jing Hongchen sat back down and teased him.

"Jiayi, as the director of education, you're not doing a good job~ From now on, make sure that all new students' martial souls, soul skills, and other important details are clearly recorded."

"You are right, Master. I'll make sure to be more careful in the future."

Lin Jiayi bowed his head in embarrassment, knowing that his negligence had caused this oversight.

After a moment of laughter, Jing Hongchen regained his serious demeanor and motioned for Lin Jiayi to continue.

"The main reason Elder Ran informed me that Su Luoheng had reached the level of a second-level soul engineer was that he wanted to request some Soul Condensing Pills without any side effects for his disciple."

"Soul Condensing Pills..."

Jing Hongchen put down his teacup and tapped his fingers on the table, thinking deeply.

After a brief pause, he finally spoke. "How many perfect-quality pills from the last batch do we have left?"

After some quick mental calculations, Lin Jiayi replied, "We've already distributed two rounds to the core students. There should be around forty left in the pill room."

"Then give the child two pills," Jing Hongchen ordered in a serious tone after a moment's thought.

Lin Jiayi hesitated for a moment but finally spoke up, "Master, isn't two pills too much?"

The Soul Condensing Pill is a unique pharmaceutical developed by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy. Made from over a dozen precious herbs, its primary purpose is to enhance the soul power and absorption speed of soul masters below the Soul Ancestor level. Despite its high cost within the Sun Moon Empire, the pill is in constant demand due to its mild medicinal properties and lack of side effects.

Only core students of the academy receive one pill per month.

Giving Su Luoheng two pills at once...

Even though his talent is evident, Lin Jiayi felt it was excessive given that Su Luoheng's current soul power was only at level seventeen, not even reaching the Great Soul Master level. He thought it might be a waste.

"This child is worth it."

Seeing Lin Jiayi's hesitation, Jing Hongchen smiled gently.

"From now on, his resources within the academy will be allocated as if he were a core student. Since he has reached the second-level soul engineer within two years, we must honor our commitment."

"Master…"

Lin Jiayi began to speak but hesitated. He understood what the Master meant.

However, for a student who had been enrolled for less than a year, was this focus too much?

"Jiayi, investing in a genius requires willingness to spend."

After a brief pause, Jing Hongchen approached Lin Jiayi and patted his shoulder. He spoke softly, "Although his soul power is currently weak, only at level seventeen, I believe his potential is immense. What he lacks now are the resources to enhance his strength, and our academy has plenty of resources!"

"I believe this is also what Elder Ran meant."

Jing Hongchen turned to look out the window, his eyes gleaming with determination.

"Understood. I'll prepare the pills right away."

"Alright, go ahead." Jing Hongchen waved his hand and emphasized, "Make sure to let the child know that this is a reward from the academy."

Lin Jiayi nodded slightly, cupped his hands, and exited Mingde Hall.

As a perceptive person, Lin Jiayi clearly understood the implications behind Jing Hongchen's words.

He couldn't help but admire the decisiveness and courage of the Master, qualities he knew he lacked. Perhaps this is why Jing Hongchen was the head of Mingde Hall while he was the Director of Education.

"Su Luoheng…"

Jing Hongchen walked to the window, hands clasped behind his back, his eyes flashing with contemplation.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy has always valued geniuses highly. What Jing Hongchen needed to do now was to use resources to bind Su Luoheng's heart to the Sun Moon Empire!

Elder Ran's request for the pills was a reminder for Jing Hongchen.

Not to overlook Su Luoheng's talent!

As the top academy of the empire, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy is indeed rich in resources. This is evident from how Jing Hongchen was able to offer exorbitant terms to attract Huo Yuhao to join.

"Su Luoheng… don't let us down."

Jing Hongchen's eyes flickered as he picked up a nearby teacup and finished the remaining tea.

There are many resources available; it's up to you to seize them!
