Xu Kun nodded thoughtfully.

Su Yu's perspective was easy to understand, especially when considering that Su Yu had only trained as a traditional soul master up to this point. His life-attributed Blue Silver Grass martial soul made his view even more logical.

It was simply a pursuit of power.

Combining the soul tool and soul master systems allowed for a higher ceiling of strength.

Moreover, his auxiliary-type martial soul could use soul tools to gain combat abilities.

"Alright, I've got the gist of your situation."

Xu Kun pressed a button on his desk, and shortly after, a bald teacher entered the office.

"Dean Xu, what can I do for you?"

"Teacher Kong, this is one of the new students for this year. Here's his information—please help him complete the admission process."

"Understood."

Kong Yue glanced at Su Yu's registration form, his curiosity piqued as he looked at Su Yu.

"Are you sure you want to apply to the Soul Tool Department?"

"You've already proven your talent in martial soul cultivation, but whether you have talent in soul tools is still unknown.

"If you lack talent in this area, you might waste a lot of time and harm your future prospects. If you're just interested in using soul tools, the Martial Soul Department offers relevant courses as well.

"Many of our students commission soul tools from the Soul Tool Department, and Martial Soul students don't rely solely on their martial souls for combat. Many of our exams even allow the use of soul tools."

Teacher Kong clearly knew what he was talking about and quickly laid out the pros and cons.

He also raised an important point: Did Su Yu want to use soul tools for combat, or did he want to make them himself?

Su Yu didn't hesitate.

His "golden finger" was his incredible comprehension ability, so how difficult could learning soul tools really be?

Besides, the soul tools he crafted himself would be the best fit for him.

Su Yu remained firm in his decision, and seeing this, Kong Yue stopped trying to persuade him and led Su Yu out of the office.

Xu Kun made a note of Su Yu's situation.

"This is the new student dorm for the Martial Soul Department.

If you successfully transfer to the Soul Tool Department, you can either move to their dorms or stay here.

The transfer exam for the Soul Tool Department takes place at the end of the first month after the term starts.

That's about two months from now.

I saw in your file that you have no prior knowledge of soul tools, but if you're really determined to get into the Soul Tool Department, I suggest focusing on theory first.

Pass the exam, and we'll go from there.

That building over there is the academy's library—it contains textbooks on the basics of soul tools.

I'll process your student ID shortly. With that, you'll be able to access the library materials.

And over there is the cafeteria."

Kong Yue efficiently explained all the basic information to Su Yu.

Su Yu responded, "Got it, thank you, teacher."

Once everything was processed, Su Yu took his student ID and headed to his dormitory. He made his bed with the bedding he had prepared in advance and set up his toiletries.

Everything at Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy was highly advanced.

The process of making soul tools accessible to the public had already begun, and at the academy, the pinnacle of soul tool technology, this was especially true.

Everything felt fresh and new.

"The only problem is that these soul tools still require manual charging."

The technology for sealed energy containers hadn't yet been perfected. While some of these soul tools contained energy storage devices, the soul power within them was constantly leaking. Coupled with the energy consumption from using the tools, they needed frequent recharging.

This was the biggest obstacle to making soul tools widely available.

Su Yu's dorm was a double room.

Technically, the term hadn't started yet—there was still a month to go. Su Yu had arrived early, which meant he didn't have a roommate yet.

"I'll focus on learning how to make soul tools first, and worry about getting into the Soul Tool Department later," Su Yu decided.

Aside from his daily cultivation, Su Yu chose to slow down progress in other areas.

His routine became very structured: every day, it was the library, the cafeteria, and back to the dorm.

"Dean Xu, here's a report on Su Yu's daily activities."

Xu Kun looked over the report detailing everything Su Yu had been doing—what he ate, where he went, and the books he had borrowed from the library.

"Dean, here's Su Yu's identity report as well," the teacher said, handing over another document.

"Su Yu's identification was only recently issued. There's no record of him in the Sun Moon Empire.

He entered Mingdu with the Wanhu Tower caravan from the Star Luo Empire, so it's very likely he's from Star Luo."

The teacher hesitated, choosing his words carefully.

Xu Kun raised his hand and said, "I understand what you're getting at. I had my doubts too. But with talent as extraordinary as Su Yu's, would you really send someone like him to a rival nation as a spy?"

There was no denying Su Yu's potential.

Xu Kun was certain of this. His martial soul was nearly top-tier, and the foundation laid by his first three spirit rings was solid.

A future as a Titled Douluo was within reach.

And since Su Yu was determined to become a soul engineer, the combat limitations of his Blue Silver Grass martial soul could be offset.

A genius like this—it didn't make sense for the Star Luo Empire to send him to the Sun Moon Empire as an undercover agent.

Hearing Xu Kun's reasoning, the teacher had nothing more to add. His task was complete; any further decisions were up to Xu Kun.

After the teacher left, Xu Kun sat alone at his desk, tapping his fingers on the surface while staring at Su Yu's file.

"A Star Luo Empire citizen... and the Wanhu Tower caravan."

With a thoughtful look, he destroyed Su Yu's identity records.

The Wanhu Tower caravan was an interesting organization.

Turning back to Su Yu's learning progress, Xu Kun mused, "He really is starting from scratch."

Although Su Yu's pace of learning was unusually fast, the structure of his studies was still being built from the ground up.

Even the occasional mistakes in the materials he chose were quickly corrected.

Su Yu, meanwhile, had no idea that all of his actions and background had been neatly compiled in reports for Dean Xu.

Not that he would care if he did know—he had nothing to hide, so what was there to be afraid of?

"Soul tools really do deserve to stand as a system equal to soul master cultivation."

The more Su Yu studied soul tools, the more amazed he was.

The field of soul tools was indeed vast and profound.

The most critical aspect was constructing the core formation, a deep and complex discipline.

Every line in the core formation had its own purpose, intricately connected to the others. Together, they produced a synergy where the whole was greater than the sum of its parts.

The real challenge, however, lay in linking these lines into a complete circuit from start to finish.

It was simply—

"Fascinating."

Su Yu found himself thoroughly intrigued by soul tools.

It was like solving a math problem: if you dive into it and have the ability to work it out, the satisfaction upon finding the solution is unmatched.
