Before noon, the sun shone brightly across the floor tiles in front of Shrek Academy. The golden light intertwined with the green grass, casting a quiet, peaceful atmosphere.
At that moment, eight figures appeared.
They were Chen Junting and his group, who had been away for fifteen days.
After dealing with the corpses of the evil soul masters in the Star Dou Great Forest, they traveled to the locations of the virtual turtle and the psychedelic butterfly.
Since the matter involving the evil soul masters weighed heavily on Du Weilun's mind, he personally led the subsequent soul hunting. With swift battles, Xu Sanshi and Huo Yuhao both obtained suitable soul rings.
Once the soul hunting operation ended, Chen Junting and the others, led by Du Weilun and Zhao Gang, rushed back to the academy. Everyone's faces showed signs of fatigue.
They entered the academy and arrived at Shrek Square.
Du Weilun looked at the six students in front of him and said, "There is still half a month before the academy closes. Go find your class teachers to cancel your leave and resume normal study this afternoon."
"Dismissed."
Without giving them a chance to reply, he hurriedly left for the inner courtyard with Teacher Zhao Gang. It was clear he intended to report the evil soul master situation to the senior management as soon as possible.
The eight people passed through the dense shadows of the roadside trees, greeting Mu En—the dormitory manager—as they returned to the dormitory building.
When the group reached the teaching building area of the Martial Soul Department, Beibei and Xu Sanshi said goodbye to the others and went to their respective grade classrooms.
Only Chen Junting, Wu Feng, and Du Weilun were left, walking toward Teacher Mu Jin's office.
Maybe it was class time, but when Chen Junting knocked on the door, Mu Jin's slightly irritable voice came from inside.
"You are back."
Chen Junting and the others exchanged smiles, bowed slightly to Teacher Mu Jin, and left the office.
Before that, when she learned they had come to cancel their leave, Lu Yi quickly completed the formalities and instructed them to rest well after morning class. After all, afternoon classes were starting soon.
The eight returned to their respective dormitories and finally relaxed.
At the same time—
"Dong Dong Dong—"
Eight crisp knocks echoed on the door of Chen Junting's dormitory.
Hearing the knock, Chen Junting, who had been about to draw the patterns from memory, stopped his hand, picked up the casually discarded blueprint, and frowned.
"Who?"
He walked over and opened the door.
It was Lu Yi, smiling like a flower.
"You are back."
"You are envious," Lu Yi teased as she let go of his arm and stepped inside without hesitation. "Of course, blocking the door was totally reasonable."
Chen Junting smiled wryly and sat down.
Lu Yi sat casually at the foot of his bed, shaking her white legs lightly, her bright eyes filled with playfulness.
As he picked up a piece of white paper and prepared to draw the pattern from memory, Chen Junting thought seriously. When he had memorized it in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had used his spiritual power to engrave the lines into his sea of spirit. There was a risk of memory error.
Looking at the drawing slowly forming on the white paper, Chen Junting placed his consciousness into the sea of spirit and asked Electrolux quietly:
"Master Yi, is the line safe?"
Maybe this inquiry was urgent, because Electrolux didn't show up personally—only a faint voice echoed in his spirit sea:
"I can see it."
Even that simple reply gave Chen Junting some reassurance.
At the same time, the protest of an empty stomach echoed in the dormitory.
"Gululu—"
Chen Junting chuckled.
"I wanted to suggest eating in the cafeteria, but..." Lu Yi winked. "It's not that troublesome. You can invite me to a restaurant in Huo Yuhao City to celebrate."
Chen Junting shook his head subconsciously.
"Teacher, you go first."
After getting Du Weilun's approval, He Caitou said goodbye to everyone and went alone toward the Soul Guidance Department.
Meanwhile, Chen Junting washed his dusty clothes from the past days, then headed to the bathhouse to clean himself properly.
Once finished, he returned to the dormitory, feeling refreshed.
Just as he was tidying up, someone else knocked.
"Dongdongdong—"
Lu Yi, already sitting by the bed, looked amused. "Why did Ning Tian come back?"
Chen Junting was puzzled. "What?"
At that moment, Wu Feng, who was still hungry, was sitting by the bed, staring eagerly at the door. She had planned to wait for Ning Tian to return to the dormitory so they could go eat together.
Chen Junting opened the door.
Standing outside was Ning Tian, gathering her golden hair in front of her with one hand. She smiled lightly. "Brother Junting, have you eaten lunch since you came back?"
Mu Jin, who was beside her, added playfully, "By the way, Brother Junting, welcome back. I thought your soul hunting operation would take a month or even longer."
Chen Junting joked lightly in return.
Looking into Ning Tian's beautiful eyes, he understood her actual meaning and said with a soft smile:
"I can only say we were lucky this time. Took just seven days to run into the Golden Demon Bird."
When he spoke, a glint of mischief flickered in his eyes.
Mu Jin raised her eyebrows. "Go."
Chen Junting half-closed the door with a chuckle. "Big day indeed. How did you even know we were back?"
Mu Jin pointed mischievously. "Dorm manager told me. Eighth floor and below are the boys' dorms. Girls can go down, but boys can't come up."
Chen Junting raised an eyebrow. "Oh, the academy sure treats boys and girls differently."
As he said that, he looked down the corridor of the dormitory building. "Aren't you afraid of being expelled?"
Ning Tian only smiled meaningfully, waving him off. "It's fine."
Hearing this, Chen Junting gave up arguing, packed up the drawings at a deliberately slow pace, and let Lu Yi drag him off.
"Datian, why did he come to the girls' dormitory?"
"Bad, just the two of you," Lu Yi teased openly, then added, "You just asked Feng Mei—she said you hadn't slept well these past few days of soul hunting, and were planning to eat, then nap."
Chen Junting shook his head helplessly.
He Caitou also reminded Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, don't forget to find Teacher Fanyu when you can. Now that you're a great soul master, the path to a seventh-level soul engineer isn't far."
Finally, as the group made their way through the envious gazes of students heading toward Huo Yuhao City, Chen Junting glanced up at the sky, his heart already starting to relax.
