This position as chairman…
I, Wang Li, am going to claim it!
As Wang Li set this goal for himself, they had already arrived at the place where Lijia Academy handled new student registration and assessment.
It was a grand building with the doors wide open. Inside was a large hall with tables and chairs arranged in the center. Two teachers were seated behind one of the tables: an elderly man with a smiling face and a middle-aged man with a stern expression.
At this moment, the student who guided them said,
"This is where new students register. We'll leave now. After you pass the assessment, if you wish, you can join the student council. We always welcome you."
After saying this, the two of them turned and left.
Wang Li responded quietly in his heart,
"We will!"
At the same time, Gou An urged them to quickly enter the hall, and he himself strode in. While taking out the files of Wang Li and Wang Sheng, he said to the elderly man,
"Elder Ling, I am Gou An from Notting Academy. Our principal asked me to send his regards. I am bringing our academy's graduates this year to register."
The elderly man known as Elder Ling pursed his lips and said,
"If Principal Zhang really cared, he would send us more talented students. Always just talking, no real sincerity."
Gou An quickly smiled apologetically. Elder Ling was the Director of Internal Affairs at Lijia Academy, a Soul Master like their principal.
In simple terms, Notting Academy's administrative office, which manages both internal and external matters, corresponded here to Lijia Academy's Internal Affairs Department, handling student management, while the External Affairs Department managed hunting spirit rings.
Gou An stepped aside, revealing Wang Li and Wang Sheng behind him, and said to Elder Ling,
"Elder Ling, look. These two students are our academy's elite graduates this year, sent directly to you."
At this moment, the stern middle-aged man also looked through Wang Li and Wang Sheng's files and exclaimed in surprise,
"Under seven years old?! Elder Ling, take a look."
Hearing this, a glint appeared in Elder Ling's eyes. He ignored the file handed to him by the middle-aged man and instead called Wang Li and Wang Sheng over,
"Children, come here. Let me feel your bones!"
Wang Li stepped forward without hesitation. No matter how the old man examined him, he could not reveal his greatest secret. He reached out across the table.
Elder Ling's hand was thin but steady and strong. He grasped Wang Li's wrist and released his spirit power. After a moment, he laughed loudly,
"Strong vitality, solid bones, and still growing quickly. Age looks to be six to eight. Most importantly, strong muscles and sinews,our academy has found treasures this time."
Then Wang Sheng, unwilling to be outdone, also reached out. He admitted Wang Li's talent in cultivation was exceptional, but he had a powerful Battle Tiger martial soul. Surely his body was not weaker than Wang Li's.
Elder Ling grasped Wang Sheng's wrist as well, released his spirit power, and after a moment, smiled,
"Also a very sturdy boy. Notting Academy really has sent us two talented students this time."
Gou An heard this and thought to himself that their academy still had two innate full spirit power geniuses, but they had no intention of graduating yet.
Elder Ling, of course, did not know what Gou An was thinking. He stood up and smiled,
"I will take these two students directly. Teacher Gou, if you have time, you can tour the academy. Now, I need to take our new students to test their abilities."
"Xiao Xin, stay here for now. Wang Li, Wang Sheng, follow me."
Gou An understood. Wang Li and Wang Sheng did not need further assessment; they had already been admitted. Elder Ling's intention was clear: he could go or stay as he pleased. Gou An planned to stroll around the city since it was a rare official trip.
He said to Wang Li and Wang Sheng,
"Wang Li, Wang Sheng, this Elder Ling is the Director of Internal Affairs at Lijia Academy. From now on, follow his instructions. I'll rest in Lijia City for one night. Once you're settled, come to the carriage to collect your belongings."
Wang Li and Wang Sheng both responded,
"Yes, teacher!"
The stern middle-aged man called Xiao Xin handed Wang Li and Wang Sheng's files to Elder Ling and returned to his seat.
Elder Ling then turned and left, and Wang Li and Wang Sheng quickly followed.
After a short distance, they arrived at a new room. It was not large, and two teachers were inside. Seeing Elder Ling, they immediately stood up.
Elder Ling waved his hand to signal no need for formalities, then picked up a crystal orb used to test spirit power. He held it in front of Wang Li and smiled,
"Come, let's see your spirit power first!"
Wang Li pursed his lips and placed his hand on it. Instantly, a brilliant light shone, illuminating the astonished faces around him.
Elder Ling's eyes widened as he murmured,
"Level 14 spirit power?!"
Wang Li smiled bashfully and explained,
"When I registered as a soul practitioner after absorbing my spirit ring, I was Level 13. After nearly two more months of cultivation, I seem to have advanced another level."
Elder Ling thought that would be impressive enough, but he was once again struck with astonishment. Such a genius could easily enter Farsnow Intermediate Soul Master Academy.
Next to Wang Li, Wang Sheng was nearly dumbfounded. He had assumed Wang Li only caught up to him, but now Wang Li had surpassed him. Under Wang Li's dazzling presence, he could do nothing but tremble.
At this point, Elder Ling no longer paid attention to Wang Sheng. He could not hide his excitement,
"It seems your academy hunted a very powerful spirit beast as your first spirit ring…"
He put down the crystal orb, grabbed Wang Li, and walked while speaking,
"Let's see your first spirit skill and how it performs in actual combat!"
Wang Li went along without resisting. Observing Elder Ling's high status in Lijia Academy, showing off some talent would earn him more attention.
Meanwhile, after they left, the two remaining teachers in the room exchanged glances with Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng tentatively asked,
"Teachers, what should I do now?"
One of the teachers picked up the crystal orb and calmly said,
"Come, let's see your spirit power first."
On the other side, Wang Li followed Elder Ling to another room. This room was large, with reinforced walls and floor, and two teachers were present.
After bringing Wang Li in, Elder Ling waved his hand to halt all activity. His gaze fixed on Wang Li, and he said solemnly,
"All right, Wang Li, release your martial soul!"
