"Of course, if any of them are willing to apply to other universities, that's fine too. But I have only one requirement: all of them must sign an agreement that they can only come to our Xiaoyao Pavilion after graduation."

Xu Yanli's voice grew colder and colder until it was filled with murderous intent at the last moment. He said, "If they take the subsidies we give them but are still unwilling to join the Xiaoyao Pavilion, then they will be killed without mercy."

Xu Yanli stood up, dusted himself off, walked over to the guard, looked at what he had written, nodded, and patted him on the shoulder.

Then he headed towards the door, turning back at the door to say, "I'm going to Shrek Academy to cancel my leave. I'm leaving."

As Xu Yanli walked through the hall, he saw Jiang Nannan's mother tending to the flowers in her small garden.

Long Xiaoyao sat in the pavilion, drinking tea, seemingly lost in thought.

Xu Yanli returned to Shrek Academy and went to Yan Shaozhe's office.

"You're back. Has everything been taken care of?" Yan Shaozhe said in a very gentle tone.

"I've finished dealing with it, and I'm back to cancel my leave," Xu Yanli said calmly.

"Okay, you can just go back to your class and report. By the way, the freshman assessment is coming up soon," Yan Shaozhe said calmly. "Prepare well."

Xu Yanli nodded, said thank you, and headed towards the dormitory. He bowed to Mu En and then walked straight to his room.

"Big brother's back. I've been cleaning the room the whole time, hehe." Tang Ling chuckled憨厚ly.

Xu Yanli glanced at him, then without hesitation took out a gold soul coin from his storage soul tool and placed it in Tang Ling's hand.

"Thank you for your help during this time." After saying this, Xu Yanli nodded to him, then pulled out a chair, took out a book, and slowly started reading.

Time passed peacefully, little by little, and about another month went by.

During this time, Xu Yanli gently suppressed Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, but at the same time, he also left some soul control techniques in her martial soul.

For enemies who cannot be turned, there is naturally no need to show mercy; otherwise, being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself.

At the same time, Xu Yanli's cultivation level also broke through to level 58 in soul power, and his soul power also quickly reached the mid-level of level 58.

Xu Yanli arrived at the classroom a little earlier today.

"Class monitor, put this note on each student's seat. Today, everyone needs to choose their cultivation direction," Mu Jin said softly.

Xu Yanli nodded and took a stack of papers, then quickly distributed them to each classmate before returning to his seat.

"Listen up, everyone. The freshman assessment will be conducted in teams, and there won't be too many people, about three people per team. After all, we can't let a support class fight against a power class, right?" Mu Jin smiled and wrote down the four categories on the blackboard: power class, support class, control and defense class.

“No one in our class has been eliminated yet, so we still have 100 people. We'll have one person left over. Song Qinghan, you can go to the Soul Guidance Department,” Mu Jin said after hesitating for a moment.

After saying that, he gestured for them to start writing on the slips of paper in front of them. Once they finished, he had Xu Yanli collect them.

As Xu Yanli was writing, he noticed that Xiao Xiao next to him seemed to be staring at his note.

After Xu Yanli finished writing his note, he collected all the notes from the class and handed them to Mu Jin. Some time later...

Mu Jin gently tapped the table and said, "Classmates, let me explain the group assignments now."

"Group 1: Xu Yanli, Xiao Xiao, Tang Ling."

"Second group, Wang Dong,..."

.........

It must be said that Mu Jin's grouping was fairly fair, as Xu Yanli chose the members of his own group.

"Alright, that's all for today's class. Xiao Xiao, Xu Yanli, Wang Dong, and Tang Ling, you guys stay behind."

Mu Jin slowly took out the notes from each of them and told them to come and take a look.

“Support class, support class…” Mu Jin looked at them helplessly. The group said, “Tell me, why did you choose the support class?”

Xu Yanli paused for a moment before saying, "Teacher, my martial soul is a healing type. Isn't the healing type the same as the support type?"

Mu Jin's lips twitched, clearly recalling the time when Xu Yanli defeated Xu Sanshi, the third-year student known as the Eternal Guardian, at the beginning of the school year...

With this level of skill, you call yourself a healing class?

"Fine, I won't bother with yours, but what about you, Wang Dong?" Mu Jin said with a hint of helplessness.

Chapter 44 Xiao Xiao blushed

"Teacher, if I defeat the opponent, wouldn't that be perfect support?" Wang Dong said somewhat awkwardly.

Xu Yanli stood to the side, rubbing his forehead. For some reason, he felt that these words sounded familiar...

"You want to compete with Xu Yanli, don't you? He chose the support class, and you just followed suit. Do you know that this concerns your future? How can you be so reckless?" Mu Jin's voice revealed anger, but her tone was still gentle.

"Teacher, I was wrong." Wang Dong slowly lowered his head and mumbled.

"Alright, go back to your original version and then hand it in to me when you're done. Now you can go," Mu Jin said with a hint of helplessness.

"It's your turn, Xiao Xiao. Don't think I didn't see it. You were looking at Xu Yanli's work the whole time." Mu Jin said with a hint of helplessness on her face.

Xu Yanli suddenly felt his head throbbing again. Suddenly, a scene flashed into his mind: "Jianqiu, my head is throbbing again!"

Xu Yanli shivered, immediately lowered his hand, and then moved to the seat next to him.

"Teacher, I really am a support type. My Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron combines attack and defense, so it can barely be considered a mutated martial soul," Xiao Xiao said, pointing two fingers at her chest.

Mu Jin said with a hint of helplessness, "Then you should belong to the defensive or offensive type."

"But I also have another martial soul, which is a support-type martial soul," Xiao Xiao murmured softly.

"Huh?" Everyone present, except for Xu Yanli, showed a look of shock.

"Twin Martial Souls!!!" Wang Dong and Tang Ling both exclaimed in disbelief.

Xu Yanli's hand also paused for a moment, after all, he also had twin martial souls, but he had hardly ever used them.

But what kind of spirit ring should I attach to my second spirit?

It should take at least 100,000 years, otherwise how can it be worthy of the talent of having two martial souls?

Xu Yanli rested his chin on one hand, while the fingers of the other hand tapped back and forth on the table, looking extremely bored.

Wang Dong quickly wrote out his offensive strategy and submitted it.

After glancing at the note, Mu Jin said, "Alright, you can go back now."

Seeing that no one in the room seemed to notice, Wang Dong could only stomp her foot in frustration and turn to leave.

"Xiao Xiao, could you let me see your second martial soul?" Mu Jin asked gently.

“Of course, teacher,” Xiao Xiao said with a smile, a jade flute appearing in her hand.

Xu Yanli paused, his gaze shifting to the martial spirit in her hand, a jade-green flute with a lifelike phoenix relief on it.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao doesn't look like a Soul Master, but rather like a Sound Cultivation Fairy.

"Alright, Tang Ling, it's your turn. If I remember correctly, you have a power-attack type martial soul, right? Your martial soul is the Wind and Thunder Staff, which has both wind and thunder attributes." Mu Jin sighed. None of these kids are easy to deal with.

"Teacher, I just saw that everyone else thought that way, so I followed suit..." Tang Ling scratched his head a little embarrassedly and chuckled twice.

"Alright, let's not talk about this today. Change yours back, especially yours, Tang Ling. Let me tell you about your tasks. I hope you can win the championship. After all, you have Xu Yanli as your big weapon. If you can't win the championship, then you can't really say anything, right?" Mu Jin snorted lightly and then said softly.

"Don't worry, teacher, we will definitely be the champions." Xu Yanli got up from her seat and said with a smile.

"Alright, you can go back now. Take care and get some rest during this time. Just wanted to let you know that Shrek Academy's rewards for the champion are quite good." Mu Jin smiled.

"Okay, teacher," Xu Yanli and the other two said in unison. After they finished speaking, the three of them walked out of the classroom together.

"Brother Yanli, um, shall we have a chat?" Xiao Xiao said nervously.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yanli immediately put on a polite smile and said, "Of course, it's my honor."

Xu Yanli led them to the food street outside Shrek Academy.

“Brother Yanli, you, you…” At this moment, the girl’s blushing face said it all.

Xu Yanli's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness. Aren't all the kids in Douluo Continent so precocious? They're only 12 years old now.

Xu Yanli shivered. Forget it, he wasn't really interested in relationships right now.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Xu Yanli's face. He had originally planned to buy grilled fish, but suddenly remembered Huo Yuhao, who seemed to have left him at the Body Sect.

Never mind, eating something else is the same, there's not much difference. Sigh, I want to drink milk tea.

Even though I died from drinking milk tea...

Forget about such embarrassing things. Xu Yanli’s gaze was unfocused for a moment before returning to normal. Then he pulled them to buy other snacks.

Of course, Xu Yanli was the one who paid.

"You should try these too, they're all quite delicious. Later, let's go into the grove and get to know each other's martial spirits and soul skills, so that we can cooperate better during the competition later," Xu Yanli said with a smile.

"Okay, okay," Xiao Xiao said excitedly after swallowing what was in her mouth.

Xu Yanli was also a little confused. He didn't seem to have done anything, so why was Xiao Xiao looking at him so passionately?

Never mind, Xu Yanli bought some snacks and headed towards the grove behind the school, but after walking for a while, he stopped.

"Then how about we go to my Xiaoyao Pavilion instead of the grove? It's a quiet place, and there are no outsiders around," Xu Yanli asked with a smile.

“Okay, no problem,” Tang Ling said to Xiao Xiao.

Xu Yanli nodded, then slowly took out a communicator, entered a few characters, and sent it.

For no other reason than that the symbol of the Sun Moon Empire needs to be covered up. The relationship is not close enough yet, and it is not the right time to expose it.

In fact, his idea was that the Xiaoyao Pavilion should be exposed after the war ended, but that was obviously impossible.

If it's the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, he will definitely represent the Sun Moon Royal in the battle; there's no doubt about that.

After receiving the reply, Xu Yanli led them to Xiaoyao Pavilion.

Xiaoyao Pavilion.

"Wow! Is this the number one merchant guild for soul tools, Xiaoyao Pavilion? It looks so beautiful." Xiao Xiao looked around in amazement.

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, and she greeted her with a smile: "Are you Senior Jiang Nannan?"

Jiang Nannan was taken aback for a moment, then saw them nod slightly.

Chapter 45 One person, one move, and he's dead?

“Alright, let’s not waste any time this afternoon. Let’s discuss our respective martial souls first. Although with the strength of our group, we definitely won’t be eliminated, of course, the higher the score, the better,” Xu Yanli said with a smile.

Upon arriving in the courtyard, Xu Yanli and the others sat in the garden pavilion, where they could fully appreciate the picturesque scenery of small bridges, flowing water, and traditional houses.
