Chapter 4: Grandpa, are you very powerful?
Under the benevolent gaze of the Soul Guidance System Senior, Jiang Ming still braced himself and took out the metal block he had been researching for several days.
There was nothing he could do, he was just too curious!
On the way to Shrek Academy, he had solved some problems himself, but there were still some details he hadn't figured out.
And the books... those tool books were useful, but they could only solve a part of the problems.
The Soul Guidance System Senior frowned and glanced at the metal block Jiang Ming placed on the table, suppressing the urge to hit someone, and observed the patterns on it.
First glance, such simple patterns and he’s asking about them? Didn't he read the book?
Second glance, hiss~ there's something to these patterns!
Third glance, the Senior's eyebrows were almost touching, and his eyes gradually became serious.
He carefully picked up the metal block from the table and examined it closely.
After a few minutes, he shook his head, a hint of impatience in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Ming.
"I say, little brother, you're really here to mess with us! You're asking us about the core formation of a Fourth-Level spirit tool, thank you for thinking so highly of us!"
The Senior slapped the metal block back into Jiang Ming's hand.
"Go on, go back to your Martial Soul Department to register, it'll be a long queue if you're late."
Saying that, the Senior also waved his hand, urging Jiang Ming to leave quickly.
Are you kidding me, a Fourth-Level spirit tool!
They were only second or third-year students in the Soul Guidance System. It was already incredible if they could create a Third-Level spirit tool. A Fourth-Level spirit tool was as difficult as a Spirit Ancestor in the Martial Soul Department!
And Spirit Ancestors, if nothing unexpected happened, could graduate from the Outer Courtyard!
If they could figure out the core formation of a Fourth-Level spirit tool, would they still be here receiving new students to register? Wouldn't it be better to just prepare to go to the Inner Courtyard?!
Jiang Ming heard the Senior's words and blinked, understanding that these Seniors couldn't solve his problem.
But, it was just a Fourth-Level spirit tool, this was Shrek Academy!
Jiang Ming was somewhat disappointed. He originally thought he could solve his doubts here, but now it seemed better to register at the Martial Soul Department first and get the main business done.
Thinking this, Jiang Ming glanced at the grey Soul Guidance System teaching building not far away, made a note of the location, and planned to come and audit the classes when he had time in the future.
The students might not know, but the Teacher definitely would!
Paying one tuition fee for two department's classes, a huge profit!
After Jiang Ming left, the third-year Senior who had just been hit hard by Jiang Ming continued to register the junior students who came to the Soul Guidance System.
After registering a new student and distributing their school uniform and dormitory key, the few of them were idle again.
"Alas, Brother Xuan, do you think that Martial Soul Department guy just now might really be a Fourth-Level Soul Master?"
Having nothing to do, a few of them started discussing the recent events.
But as soon as he said this, the other three looked at the speaker with the eyes of an idiot.
"Forget about others, don't you, a Soul Guidance System student, know what the concept of a Fourth-Level Soul Master is? He's a twelve-year-old new student! A Fourth-Level Soul Master? Even the Sun Moon Empire might not have such a Genius!"
The person called Brother Xuan was a bit speechless.
If this person really had this level of spirit tool talent, how could he register in the Martial Soul Department?! Could it be that his talent in Spirit was even greater than his talent in spirit tools?
That's even more ridiculous!
On the other side, Jiang Ming had already arrived at the new student teaching building of the Martial Soul Department.
The teaching buildings on the Martial Soul Department side were much more colorful than those on the Soul Guidance System side, with four colors: white, yellow, purple, and black. Among them, the white teaching building was the new student teaching building.
When Jiang Ming arrived at the registration office, some people had already started registering.
Fortunately, Jiang Ming didn't waste much time on the Soul Guidance System side, so he didn't have to queue for long and quickly received his school uniform and dormitory key.
Under the reminder of the registering Senior, Jiang Ming knew that the dormitory building was behind the teaching building, not far away.
He walked towards the dormitory building but saw a bulletin board not far away with several notices posted on it.
Out of curiosity, Jiang Ming went over to take a look.
The notices above listed the homeroom Teacher for each class.
Is the homeroom Teacher for Class One Zhou Yi?
Jiang Ming silently noted down this name and then continued to walk towards the dormitory building.
He wasn't very concerned about who his homeroom Teacher was; anyway, they weren't familiar, so he would just follow the arrangements.
In a little while, Jiang Ming arrived at the dormitory building.
This dormitory building looked a bit flashy, a six-story building painted in four different colors, and with four doors, also in four colors, each color representing the living area for students of different grades.
Hmm, very easy to understand!
Jiang Ming was a new student, and his dormitory was in the white area.
Walking to the entrance of the white building, Jiang Ming saw a very old man.
He was wearing cloth clothes, his face full of wrinkles, his eyes half-closed, lying on a chair, enjoying the sunlight that filtered through the buildings.
"Is this... the Dormitory Manager?"
Jiang Ming's eyes lit up, and he jogged a couple of steps to the old man's side, examining the Dormitory Manager.
"This is... too old..."
Jiang Ming frowned, expressing his strong incomprehension of Shrek Academy's behavior of letting an old man in his twilight years be the Dormitory Manager.
Although the Dormitory Manager at his school in his previous life was also an old man, he was an old man in his sixties or seventies, considered in the prime of old age!
Jiang Ming was really afraid that this Grandpa might just pass away while lying there accidentally.
"Dormitory Manager?"
Jiang Ming said softly, he wasn't sure if the Grandpa was asleep.
The Grandpa seemed to have heard him, and his half-closed eyes slowly opened, looking at Jiang Ming beside him.
Jiang Ming subconsciously looked into the Dormitory Manager's eyes. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the moment he saw the Dormitory Manager's eyes, it was as if he saw an ocean full of light power. That vastness almost swallowed his Spirit!
But in the blink of an eye, the Dormitory Manager's eyes became dim again, looking like an old Grandpa in his twilight years should look.
"Illu... illusion?"
Jiang Ming looked a few more times carefully, but the Dormitory Manager's eyes were still that dim, carrying the vicissitudes of life.
"Is there something?"
The Dormitory Manager spoke, his voice sounding a bit hoarse and deep.
"Oh, Dormitory Manager, I'm a new student. Do I need to register here?"
The first time he went to the dormitory building in his previous life, he had to register with the Dormitory Manager.
"No need, just show me your dormitory key and badge."
The Dormitory Manager slowly extended his hand, and Jiang Ming quickly placed the dormitory key and badge on his withered palm.
At the same time, Jiang Ming was constantly examining the Dormitory Manager.
He didn't believe that the scene just now was an illusion!
His body was healthy, his blood and qi were vigorous, and his five senses were sharp. The possibility of suddenly having an illusion was too low!
However, this Dormitory Manager looked really normal.
Jiang Ming frowned, narrowed his eyes, and tentatively asked:
"Grandpa, are you very powerful?"
