Xuan Ziwen had told Kong Xuan that if he encountered any problems at the Academy, he should come to him.
However, Kong Xuan was doing quite well at the Academy, even becoming a "celebrity," so naturally, there was no need to trouble his Martial Uncle.
Therefore, today was his first time visiting Xuan Ziwen's laboratory.
The young girl seemingly making a spirit tool in front of him, he guessed, should be Xuan Ziwen's student or something similar, as his Martial Uncle came to the Academy to be a teacher.
Kong Xuan raised the access card in his hand and said with a smile, "Xuan Ziwen is my Martial Uncle, and he gave me this access card. Are you his student?"
Upon hearing this, the young girl finally lowered her guard and casually reinserted the spirit tool carving knife into the tool bag at her waist.
She tilted her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "You are Kong Xuan?"
Kong Xuan nodded: "It seems Martial Uncle has mentioned me to you."
The young girl smiled: "Teacher has mentioned you."
She stepped down from the spirit tool operating platform, approached Kong Xuan, extended her hand, and said gracefully, "My name is Ju Zi, Teacher Xuan's disciple."
Kong Xuan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and out of courtesy, he gently touched her fingertips.
He had not expected that the young girl appearing before him now was actually an important character from the original story.
Ju Zi, though not possessing high cultivation talent or strong power, was a very important character.
She would become the Crown Prince's consort of the Sun Moon Empire, and later the Empress and War God.
It was this seemingly innocent young girl who would later lead the invasion of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.
If not for the Sea God Tang San's eventual intervention, she would have completed the "great feat" of unifying Douluo!
At the same time, there were many other noteworthy things about her, as she was deeply entangled with the fated protagonist of this World, Huo Yuhao.
For example, she conspired with Huo Yuhao to assassinate her own husband, Xu Tianran.
Another example is that she bore Huo Yuhao a son, and this son later became the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire and ultimately achieved the feat of unifying the Douluo Continent.
It could be said that in the historical records of later generations, Ju Zi was destined to occupy a significant and colorful chapter.
In a flash, Kong Xuan had recovered and asked, "What did Martial Uncle go to do?"
"Teacher went to the Mingde Hall to get materials, but he should be back soon."
Ju Zi's voice was clear as she asked, "Are you looking for Teacher for something?"
"Yes!"
Kong Xuan responded briefly, his gaze falling on the spirit tool core she had just carved.
Ju Zi noticed his gaze, her eyes slightly brightening: "Do you also study spirit tools?"
Kong Xuan, however, shook his head: "I am a student of the Soul Master Class and haven't studied spirit tools yet."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Ju Zi's eyes; she had originally thought they could exchange ideas.
Just then, the laboratory door, which had only recently closed, opened again, and Xuan Ziwen's figure appeared in their line of sight.
Xuan Ziwen looked at the two in front of him, also a bit surprised, then smiled: "It seems you two already know each other, so I don't need to introduce you."
Saying that, Xuan Ziwen's gaze fell on Kong Xuan: "It's rare for you to come here. What's the matter?"
Kong Xuan didn't waste words and went straight to the point: "This semester is about to end. I just came to ask if Martial Uncle is returning to the Hall of Worship with us."
"Of course. I promised Teacher that I would personally send you all back.
"Which day are you returning?"
Kong Xuan had already calculated the time and said, "The day after tomorrow afternoon."
Xuan Ziwen nodded: "Alright, the day after tomorrow afternoon, I'll pick you up at the dormitory building."
Having confirmed the time with his Martial Uncle, Kong Xuan's purpose for this visit was achieved.
He did not stay long in the laboratory afterward. After all, he was not a Soul Engineer and was not interested in these metal contraptions. Ren Jun's pointer tapped crisply on the lecture desk, and the spirit tool screen above displayed the data of each student.
Today's class was also the last class of this semester.
"After a semester of study, I have seen all of your efforts, students."
"Your efforts have not been in vain. You all just saw the improvement in your various data."
"As a newly formed Soul Master Class, I genuinely want to say that you are no worse than those students at Shrek Academy; in my eyes, you are even more outstanding!"
Ren Jun's words came from the heart, and this was a result he had not expected before teaching in Sun Moon.
Not to mention the super genius Kong Xuan in the class, he was in a league of his own.
But even excluding Kong Xuan, there were many other extremely brilliant individuals among the other students in the class.
After a brief compliment, Ren Jun's expression became serious again.
"Although the holiday is coming soon, I hope you will not slack off during the break. Cultivation is a step-by-step process…"
Listening to Ren Jun's words, Kong Xuan suddenly felt as if he had returned to a classroom in another World.
Before the holiday began, the teacher was demanding that they study hard during the break.
In another World, Kong Xuan would be doing well just to finish his holiday homework; studying was naturally out of the question.
However, in this World, it was a different story. After all, here the strong are respected, and after awakening his Spirit, Kong Xuan's cultivation had never slackened.
"After the next semester begins, the National Soul Master Class Showdown will be held within a month!"
Ren Jun had already announced this news previously.
For this competition, students formed teams of three, and they were all eager for this competition next semester.
A semester of study had made them feel that their power had greatly improved, and they needed this competition to verify their strength.
However, Ren Jun's next sentence made everyone's hearts tremble.
"After the Soul Master Class Showdown, class adjustments will be made based on the performance of each national group, and new experimental classes will be formed."
"I will serve as the Class Teacher for the experimental class, and I hope everyone will be there."
After Ren Jun finished speaking, a sudden sense of urgency arose in the hearts of the students in the classroom.
Even students who were not originally keen on winning now developed a desire for victory.
After all, no one wanted to be the one eliminated.
Ren Jun's gaze swept across the faces of the students in the classroom, and he was very satisfied with the fighting Spirit in their eyes and the determination they revealed.
"Class dismissed!"
As Ren Jun's figure disappeared from the classroom, this semester's study was officially declared over.
Students left the classroom in twos and threes, but what they were thinking about was not how to spend their holidays leisurely, but how to improve their strength during the holidays.
In the afternoon, in the lobby on the first floor of the dormitory building, four figures gathered, awaiting the imminent separation.
Xu Tianyi took off his school uniform and changed into magnificent purple-gold attire, with the family crest of the prince's mansion embroidered on the collar, exuding an air of cold arrogance and nobility.
His gaze swept over the three of them, and he slowly said, "I will be cultivating in the prince's mansion during the holidays."
Xu Wei thought of something and looked at him, asking with some concern, "Your brother won't cause any more trouble, will he?"
Originally, Xu Wei was somewhat envious of Xu Tianyi's identity as a prince, but ever since he witnessed Xu Tianyi almost being beaten to death by his own brother in the Soul Fighting Arena, that envy instantly vanished. Now, he was instead worried about his safety.
Mentioning his brother, Xu Tianyi's expression grew a few shades colder, then he shook his head and said, "In the prince's mansion, he wouldn't dare to do anything."
Xu Wei felt a little relieved upon hearing this, but Kong Xuan reminded him, "Even so, you cannot let your guard down. After all, it's easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow."
Xu Tianyi looked at Kong Xuan and nodded heavily, taking his words to heart.
Seeing that their gazes had fallen on him, Xu Wei smiled and said, "I'm alone, so I'll just stay at the Academy during the holidays. Conveniently, there's no shortage of cultivation resources here."
For an orphan like Xu Wei, there were no other options.
Seeing Xuan Ziwen already appearing at the dormitory entrance, Kong Xuan also simply said, "Ling'er and I are also going home. So, we'll see each other next semester."
Kong Xuan and Kong Ling waved their hands, then walked out of the dormitory building and went to Xuan Ziwen's side.
Xu Tianyi glanced at Xu Wei next to him: "People from the prince's mansion will pick me up later. I hope your strength doesn't disappoint me next semester."
Xu Wei extended a finger, the lightning dancing on his fingertip illuminating his calm face: "Don't speak too soon. Next semester, let's see the truth with our own hands!"
