Chapter 17 Enrollment in Tiandou Royal Academy
The very next day,
Qian Renxue visited the hotel where Ye Yu was staying, a gentle smile on her face, bearing good news.
Emperor Xue Ye had agreed to allow Ye Yu to enroll in Tiandou Royal Academy!
Although Tiandou Royal Academy typically requires a noble title for admission,
a title is, after all, just a formality!
Titles above viscount may require careful consideration,
but those below viscount can be conferred freely by Emperor Xue Ye.
And with Ye Yu's contribution of the curved plow,
it was more than sufficient to earn a baron title.
Thus, Emperor Xue Ye directly conferred upon Ye Yu the title of baron,
granting him the qualification to enroll in Tiandou Royal Academy.
"Ye Yu, you probably don't know where the Royal Academy is located, do you?"
"I happen to be heading to the Royal Academy this afternoon. Would you like to come along?"
"If we go together, I can assist you with the admission procedures!"
After delivering the good news, Qian Renxue continued with her gentle smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Ye Yu responded with deep respect.
Subsequently, at Qian Renxue's warm invitation,
Ye Yu was taken to a private room in a restaurant for a meal.
During the banquet,
Qian Renxue curiously inquired how Ye Yu had developed the curved plow.
Ye Yu smiled lightly, explaining that he devised the curved plow by observing natural principles.
Beyond the curved plow, he had also developed other innovations.
For instance, he noticed that serrated grass leaves could easily cut skin,
so he designed a tool called a saw, which could cut trees more efficiently than an axe.
Additionally, he observed that grass grew lusher in areas with frequent animal droppings,
leading him to develop a method called composting to fertilize fields,
significantly increasing crop yields.
This earned Qian Renxue's deep admiration.
While Ye Yu's soul master talent remained unclear,
his keen observation and articulate speech alone marked him as a remarkable talent.
In the afternoon, Qian Renxue took Ye Yu by carriage to Tiandou Royal Academy.
Upon arriving at Tiandou Royal Academy,
Ye Yu followed Qian Renxue to the Education Committee's office building, located at the far end of the teaching complex,
where he met the three Tiandou Education Committee members: Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin.
All three committee members supported Qian Renxue.
With Emperor Xue Ye's approval and the completed procedures, the three members promptly admitted Ye Yu.
They presented a registration form for Ye Yu to fill out.
After he completed it,
Meng Shenji, reviewing the information, was momentarily stunned.
"Twelve years old, innate soul power level 1, currently a level 10 soul warrior, Spirit: Blue Silver Grass mutation · Blue Silver Vine?"
"Mutated Blue Silver Grass?"
Zhilin, whose Spirit was the plant-based Heavenly Azure Vine, frowned and approached.
"Student Ye Yu, with an innate soul power of only level 1, your Spirit should be an ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
"How could it be a mutated Blue Silver Grass Spirit?"
Meng Shenji asked, puzzled and curious.
Ye Yu was well-prepared for this question and replied respectfully,
"Chief Meng Shenji, my Spirit was indeed an ordinary Blue Silver Grass initially."
"But I frequently consumed spiritual medicines like hundred-year-old ginseng and hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. The abundant life essence from these medicines likely influenced my Blue Silver Grass Spirit."
"This caused my Blue Silver Grass to gradually transform, becoming thicker and longer, resembling a vine."
"So I named it Blue Silver Vine."
"Hundred-year-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum causing a Spirit mutation? That's unheard of!"
Meng Shenji looked incredulous, feeling his understanding was being challenged.
But Ye Yu had a reasoned response, stating earnestly,
"Chief Meng Shenji, this may not apply to other Spirits, but mine is Blue Silver Grass."
"Blue Silver Grass is the weakest plant-type soul beast."
"As a Spirit, its origin is also the weakest."
"I've studied other Blue Silver Grass soul masters. After reaching level 10 and absorbing their first soul ring, their Blue Silver Grass Spirit undergoes significant morphological changes, such as transforming into vines."
"This indicates that the Blue Silver Grass Spirit's origin is highly susceptible to external influences."
"Although I haven't absorbed my first soul ring, my frequent consumption of spiritual medicines like hundred-year-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum may have produced a similar effect."
Hearing Ye Yu's explanation, Meng Shenji, Zhilin, and Bai Baoshan couldn't help but find some merit in his reasoning.
As members of Tiandou Royal Academy's Education Committee, they knew
that weaker Spirits undergo greater morphological changes after absorbing soul rings!
From this perspective, the Blue Silver Grass Spirit, as the weakest plant-based Spirit, seems particularly malleable.
Perhaps Ye Yu accidentally consumed a thousand-year-old ginseng among his hundred-year-old herbs,
triggering the Blue Silver Grass Spirit's transformation.
This seemed entirely plausible!
"Student Ye Yu, could you show us your Blue Silver Vine Spirit?"
"We've never seen a mutated Blue Silver Grass Spirit."
"The quality of your Spirit will largely determine your class assignment. We need to examine it closely."
After a moment of silence, Meng Shenji spoke up.
"Of course, Chief Meng Shenji!"
Ye Yu responded politely, extending his right hand.
With a thought, he summoned the Blue Silver Vine Spirit.
A vine, about two inches in diameter, blue-silver in color with clear Blue Silver Grass characteristics, its surface crystalline like blue crystal and shimmering, emerged from Ye Yu's hand.
Meng Shenji, Zhilin, Bai Baoshan, and Qian Renxue were all astonished.
They could distinctly sense from the vine's aura
that Ye Yu's Blue Silver Grass Spirit mutation was a positive one,
an evolution of the Spirit!
"Old Third, what do you think of the quality of Ye Yu's mutant Blue Silver Grass Spirit?"
Since Zhilin's Spirit, the Heavenly Azure Vine, was also plant-based,
Meng Shenji stroked his beard thoughtfully and turned to Zhilin.
"This mutant Blue Silver Grass Spirit should be above intermediate level!"
Zhilin pondered briefly before answering.
In the soul master world, Spirits are categorized as low-level, intermediate, advanced, and top-tier.
The Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Spirits are top-tier.
Zhilin's Heavenly Azure Vine is an advanced Spirit,
while Ye Yu's Blue Silver Vine Spirit, he estimated, fell between intermediate and advanced,
with the potential to reach Soul King or even Soul Emperor in the future!
"Student Ye Yu, since your Spirit has evolved, your innate aptitude has surely improved."
"Based on Chief Zhilin's assessment, your mutated Blue Silver Vine Spirit is a mid-to-high-level Spirit."
"You're likely to cultivate to Soul King or even Soul Emperor in the future."
Meng Shenji stroked his beard and chuckled.
"Congratulations!"
"Given your age, you should be placed in the first-year Class A of the Intermediate Soul Master Academy."
"There are three first-year Class A classes. Which one would you like to join?"
Hearing this, Ye Yu was thrilled.
Though he chose to reveal the Blue Silver Vine Spirit,
he knew it would be impossible to keep it hidden forever; it would inevitably be exposed.
Rather than letting others speculate,
he decided to be transparent, craft a plausible explanation, and guide perceptions in a different direction.
Displaying his evolved Spirit
also increased his chances of being assigned to a better class,
giving him a shot at getting closer to Dugu Yan.
And now, it seemed his strategy had paid off!
