Upon reaching this point, Shui Wuya redirected his attention and silently offered his blessings to Shui Bing'er.

All he could do now was this.

Thousands of years ago, the two deans of Tian Shui Academy had already gathered with the teachers and students of the Godwind and Blazing Academy, seizing the opportunity to leave the City of Martial Souls.

This was something they had agreed upon long ago.

With the attention of the Martial Soul Palace focused on Tang Hao, Shui Bing'er and her group easily departed from the City of Martial Souls.

However, Shui Bing'er didn't relax her vigilance because of this.

Periodically, Shui Wuya would check on Shui Bing'er's situation.

The Martial Soul Palace might move against Shui Bing'er, but not so soon.

Thousands of years ago, Shui Bing'er remained tense, guarding against the potential attack from the Martial Soul Palace at any moment.

Meanwhile, Shui Wuya resumed his normal classes. The upgrade assessment concluded, and the results were announced. He unsurprisingly ranked first.

After the initial astonishment from everyone, they didn't find the result unexpected, focusing more on their own studies.

Second Grade, Class One.

The matter of skipping grades mentioned by Yan Shaozhe hadn't been arranged yet. Shui Wuya spent a few days bored in the dormitory before deciding to visit the class.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Shui Wuya immediately captured the attention of everyone present.

More than two-thirds of the classmates looked at him with curiosity, examining this student who was attending class for the first time.

Others were still unaware of Yan Shaozhe's plans, including the teacher, Wang Yan, who didn't know about his intention to skip a grade.

Shui Wuya's status was special.

He hadn't attended class for the past few days and didn't dare to inquire too much, fearing it might involve some confidential matter.

Curiosity filled the eyes of his classmates as they observed Shui Wuya and Huo Yuhao.

Shui Wuya was the top scorer in the freshman assessment, and even in the second grade, no one thought they could surpass him.

Their curiosity mostly stemmed from the position of class monitor.

Although Huo Yuhao was currently the actual class monitor of Class One, everyone knew he was just temporarily filling in for Shui Wuya.

Now that Shui Wuya was back, they were eager to see how Wang Yan would arrange things.

Would Shui Wuya reclaim the position of class monitor, or would Huo Yuhao continue to hold it?

Wang Yan asked Shui Wuya to come forward before starting the class, but he didn't mention the position of class monitor.

He didn't have any intention of changing it for now.

After all, Huo Yuhao had been the class monitor for quite some time, so replacing him just because Shui Wuya had returned wouldn't be fair.

"Tsk, Teacher Wang is too soft. Shui Wuya is back, yet he doesn't mention anything about the position of class monitor," a student clicked their tongue, showing no surprise at Wang Yan's behavior.

"Hmph, speaking of class monitor, I still think Shui Wuya is more suitable. Strength is crucial for this position, and Shui Wuya ranked first in the assessment," another student remarked.

These comments reached the ears of Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.

"Hmph, Yuhao, you've been the class monitor for so long, and they still hope you'll step down. It's really..." Wang Dong was furious, and Huo Yuhao quickly stopped him.

He felt uncomfortable too. But he knew very well the vast difference between himself and Shui Wuya.

Even with Tianmeng's help, he still couldn't beat Shui Wuya in the freshman assessment.

So, he was also torn inside.

Being the class monitor brought him satisfaction, but handing over the position directly made him unwilling.

Suddenly, Dai Huabin stood up.

"Hey, Huo Yuhao, you better be aware of the situation and voluntarily give up the position of class monitor. It'll make everyone feel better."

For a moment, the entire classroom fell silent.

All eyes were on Huo Yuhao.

Dai Huabin looked smug. As Shui Wuya's teammate, he felt like he was helping Shui Wuya reclaim the position of class monitor.

And he believed that only someone as outstanding as Shui Wuya could handle the role.

"Huo Yuhao, what do you say?"

"In my opinion, the position of class monitor should definitely be held by the strongest individual. Don't you agree?" Dai Huabin continued to pressurize Huo Yuhao.

Wang Dong wished he could grab Dai Huabin and shut him up.

Why did he have the right to speak when even Shui Wuya himself hadn't said anything yet?

But Huo Yuhao stopped him again.

Taking a deep breath in his seat, Huo Yuhao realized that avoiding the situation wouldn't solve anything.

After experiencing the extreme northern lands, Huo Yuhao had undergone a significant transformation, most notably in his newfound confidence.

Now, he also possessed twin martial souls, with the first martial soul being an extremely rare native soul, and it was also of the spiritual type.

The second martial soul approached the ultimate ice, and in the entire first grade, how many people had twin martial souls? Certainly not more than five.

He was well aware of his own talent.

"Alright, in that case, let me and Shui Wuya have a match. Whoever wins will continue to be the class monitor!"

Huo Yuhao stood up, his intense gaze fixed on Shui Wuya. These eight months, he hadn't relaxed at all.

In an instant, the classroom was filled with excitement.

Huo Yuhao dared to challenge Shui Wuya!

How dare he!

Now, all eyes were on Shui Wuya once again.

Faced with Huo Yuhao's challenge, what choice would Shui Wuya make? Would he accept it, or would he refuse, disdainful?

After disappearing for eight months, nobody knew the extent of Shui Wuya's strength now!

The second-grade assessment seemed to have failed to test his true abilities!

Moreover, Shui Wuya also possessed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

They were all looking forward to such a battle.

However, at this moment, Yan Shaozhe entered the room, looking around in surprise. "Teacher Wang, I didn't expect your class to be so lively?"

Wang Yan felt somewhat embarrassed at Yan Shaozhe's unexpected arrival. The position of class monitor was an internal matter of the class, something he hadn't handled well. "Dean, what brings you here?"

Class One also quieted down. With Yan Shaozhe's arrival, the students naturally dared not speak anymore. Both Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin sat back down.

"I'm here to inform you that from today onwards, Shui Wuya will be promoted to the third grade. I've come to take him to the new teacher." With that, Yan Shaozhe gestured for Shui Wuya to follow him.

"Han Feng told me you were attending class, so I came over." He smiled, and behind him, Han Feng revealed himself. He had followed Yan Shaozhe all the way.

Shui Wuya stood up from his seat, not saying a word throughout, and left the classroom like that.

"Just wandering around, a bit bored." Shui Wuya shrugged. "The timing of your arrival is just right."

"I've arranged for you to join Xu Sanshi's class. Although it may not be the most suitable for you, I believe you don't mind which class you're in, right?" Yan Shaozhe said to Shui Wuya.

Xu Sanshi was a defense system student, in Grade Six, Class Three.

At Shrek Academy, the assault and control systems were in Class One, while Xu Sanshi's defense system and agility system were in Class Three.

Originally, Shui Wuya should have been in Class One of the third grade, but considering the relationship between the Martial Soul Hall and Shui Wuya, Yan Shaozhe had made this decision.

"Well, I've already read those books anyway." Shui Wuya indeed didn't mind. Yan Shaozhe had opened many doors for him, and he had read many books from the inner courtyard.

However, while those books had been immensely beneficial to him before, now they might only serve as references. After all, he had gained twelve years' worth of cultivation memories in his mind.

Those memories were from after the Divine Battle, memories of being raised by the remnants of the clan.

Arriving in the classroom, Shui Wuya found an empty seat and, as was his habit, glanced at the situation over by Shui Bing'er.

This glance caused his brows to furrow instantly.
