Chapter 203 Gu Shanhe
“Let’s go!”
In the morning, Kong Shijin shouted and went to the central square with many students.
w.a.n.g Che was among them.
There were less than 50 people in his cla.s.s.
!!
There were less than 200 people in the entire agriculture major.
For example, there were more than 300 people in the Battle Soul major.
As for the agriculture major, it was the Forest University’s proudest major… but it was completely inferior to the Battle Soul major. If it was the Battle Soul major of other universites, there would be even more people. The top universities were filled with elites. Just the Battle Soul major alone had at least 500 people. However, there were not many top universities in the war zone.
There were four cla.s.ses in the agriculture major. w.a.n.g Che was in the third cla.s.s, which had a total of 48 people.
Moreover, there were more girls than boys. It seemed that farming was more attractive to girls than to boys. “Is there anyone in our cla.s.s who’s good at fighting?”
Fifty men and women formed groups and walked towards the central square.

“I partic.i.p.ated in our continent’s Bright Moon Cup. I lost in the first round… I fought two battles. At that time, I was determined to come and farm!” “I’ve never partic.i.p.ated… when I signed up, Teacher said that my soul pet’s soul power cultivation was too low. If I go up, I’ll just be feeding. I’ll be a spectator.” “Eh… I partic.i.p.ated in our city’s Enlightenment Cup and was considered one of the top ten. I didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the later Ascending Dragon Cup… it felt too terrifying… those opponents were all random third stage soul pets that didn’t suit me…”
“In that case, what about the girls? Eh… Forget it, the girls shouldn’t like to fight…” “Who said that? I’m from our continent’s Flying Cloud Cup, one of the top 100 in the third round!”
“So strong? I remember that the Flying Cloud Cup is a compet.i.tion in the Cloud Border Continent, right? It’s the same as our province’s Bright Moon Cup…”
Everyone immediately looked at the girl.
She had a capable ponytail and was relatively tall. She had a pretty face and was full of heroic spirit.
The Cloud Border Continent was located in the southwest of the war zone. It was close to the West Peak Continent, and there were most flying-type soul pets there. The Flying Cloud Cup was similar to the West Peak Continent’s Aviation Cup.
Various continents had similar compet.i.tions. The rules were roughly the same, but there were different names.
The essence was that the entire continent’s third-year comprehensive soul pet compet.i.tion.
This girl with a ponytail was called Yun Feimo. Her name sounded very artistic.
In fact, her personality looked straightforward and did not match her name.
No one knew why she chose this major.
w.a.n.g Che could tell that in their cla.s.s, no, it should be said that among the four cla.s.ses in the agriculture major, there were not many who were good at soul pet battles.
The top 100 of the Flying Cloud Cup was actually not bad.
It was equivalent to Cui Ao who was eliminated by w.a.n.g Che in the first round.
She might be much weaker.
This was because Cui Ao’s Flame Sparrow was very powerful. If it had not encountered w.a.n.g Che back then, it would not have been a problem for it to enter the top 32.
With this standard, it could already look down on the entire cla.s.s, even the entire agriculture major of Forest University.
“This strength is very strong in our school’s Battle Soul major or other majors that are good at fighting! Student Yun, why did you choose the agriculture major?” Kong Shijin asked.
“I like it.” Yun Feimo chuckled, “In soul pet battles, there are always people better than you. There are always people stronger than you… I was lucky and barely made it into the third round. Later, I planted some flowers and gra.s.s at home and felt that I might have some talent, so I came to the agriculture major.”
“Actually, our agriculture major should have an expert stronger than me…’
Everyone chatted as they walked. Hearing this, they could not help but be curious.
“G.o.d, it can’t be you, right?” When Kong Shijin heard this, he looked at w.a.n.g Che, “Don’t tell me your green caterpillar is also very good at fighting? With your farming skills, I feel that you can already teach us… if you are also that amazing at soul pet battles…”
“No, I can’t accept this!”
Kong Shijin thumped his chest.
“I’m okay at soul pet battles. Comparatively speaking, I’m better at farming.” w.a.n.g Che smiled, “You don’t have to call me G.o.d. Just call me Student w.a.n.g.” “I’m more at ease hearing that.” Kong Shijin covered his face with his hand.
“Comparatively speaking… it means that Student w.a.n.g’s soul pet is also good at fighting.” Someone laughed.
“I’m not referring to Student w.a.n.g,” Yun Feimo said with a strange expression.
“Who is that?” Kong Shijin was stunned.
Yun Feimo did not speak and glanced at the quieter Shui Qingling.
Their wooden houses were relatively close. To be precise, the girls’ wooden houses were all gathered together.
It was probably familiar.
“It’s not me, it’s not me.” Shui Qingling hurriedly waved her hand, “I’m only good at growing. My martial soul is all a medicinal field. How can I be good at fighting?”.
“Then it looks like you’re very good at it,” w.a.n.g Che said.
“Then it looks like you’re very good at it.”
“Then it looks like…”
The other students immediately followed.
Shui Qingling looked at everyone in embarra.s.sment and could only lower her head helplessly.
Everyone chatted as they arrived at the square.
At this moment, various high platforms had already been built on the square. According to the different majors, the new students surrounded the high platform in the middle like a Eight Trigrams Formation.
The square was filled with a faint fragrance.
It was the fragrance of medicinal cuisine.
In the middle, other than the huge soul pet platform, there was also a platform specially used to cook food, refine medicine, and various equipment.
There was also a small piece of soil that had been transplanted.
It was probably trying to perform something awesome.
Many new students revealed excited and curious gazes.
Soon, the school opening ceremony officially began.
In the center, on the soul pet battle platform, the first to appear was an old man.
It was a white-haired but energetic old man. He wore a robe with various patterns of gra.s.s, flowers, and trees and walked gracefully onto the stage. It was the former princ.i.p.al of the Forest University, Gu Shanhe.
This was the first time w.a.n.g Che had seen this old princ.i.p.al.
He was very energetic. If it was an ordinary person, he would look like an old man with a good mind.
It was hard to tell that this was an old princ.i.p.al who had experienced more than 200 years of life.
“Students, I’m Gu Shanhe. From today onwards, in the next few years, you might see my face often. They say that in this era, looks are very important. I hope this old man won’t be an eyesore to you.”
Gu Shanhe’s first sentence made many new students laugh.
They felt that this old princ.i.p.al was very amiable and not old-fashioned.
He was an old man who loved farming his entire life.
new
This was the first impression of many new students.
w.a.n.g Che thought to himself, ‘A Level 80 Contract Soul Master with a mountain martial soul that can easily overturn cities and fill the seas… Of course, he’s not just an old man who likes to farm.’
Typically, those who surpa.s.sed high-level Contract Soul Masters and reach the level of Saint Soul Masters
were all powerful existences that ordinary people could not imagine. Such an expert had already broken away from the level of simply using words or images to show his dignity.
Strength was everything. Therefore, to the new students, they could only feel amiability.
Gu Shanhe quickly smiled and told some stories about school, about agriculture and other majors.
“Speaking of which, twenty years ago, there was a new student who didn’t believe me when I said ‘planting can better train soul pets and also cultivate martial souls’.”
“When this student entered the academy, his improvement was slow. He didn’t train his soul pet or his martial soul. Therefore, he was angry and thought that I was lying to him.” “He retorted me with all sorts of theories every day…”
“Twenty years later, he became the vice-princ.i.p.al of North River University and created the agriculture minor.”
Everyone laughed.
Gu Shanhe did not encourage the students or try to convince them.
It was as if they were chatting casually about the school.
There were no signs of a scripted speech.
With his rich life experience, just a few stories could make many new students laugh and be fascinated.
He spoke for an hour on stage.
In an hour, many new students listened in high spirits… They did not sleep at all.
It was obvious how high the standard was. “Actually, I especially like soul pet battles.” Gu Shanhe smiled and said, “Especially when I was young, I liked it very much. However, my soul pet was weak back then! My family was also poor. Raising a soul pet wouldn’t cost much if I only raised it as a pet. However, if I wanted proper soul pet battles, it had to eat various high-quality resources and be carefully nurtured.”
“Later on, for the soul pet battle, I went to study farming. I thought that if I couldn’t afford it, I could grow it myself, right?”
“In the end, who would have thought that as soon as I entered the deep sea of crops, I would sink further and further…”
“Decades pa.s.sed in a flash.”
“I’ve become stronger and bald… No, I’m not bald yet, but I don’t have that worldly desire anymore…”
When everyone heard this, they immediately laughed.
It was very immersive.
“Later on, I opened the Battle Soul major and Beast Cultivation major for soul pets, combining them with our school’s agriculture major.” “I plan on recalling the soul pet battle dream from back then.”
Gu Shanhe laughed loudly, “Therefore, next, the first event of our school opening ceremony is a soul pet battle that everyone is very familiar with! This battle is prepared by the second and third-year seniors to welcome the new students.”
“This is a guiding battle. Every student only has one chance. They feel that in terms of soul pet battles, those with strength and talent can go on stage to challenge your seniors.”
“If you can obtain a slight advantage or win, there will be a reward.”
“It’s not embarra.s.sing to lose, while there’s a reward for winning.”
“I suggest that you try a round-robin battle and split the rewards equally. This is because your seniors did this in the previous years too…”
Gu Shanhe smiled and slowly walked off the stage.
Everyone even felt that they had not listened to enough and wanted to listen to this old princ.i.p.al for a while longer. “Old Princ.i.p.al Gu is so good. He even gave us advice!”
Kong Shijin felt that he was in the right place, “Against these second-year and third-year seniors, their soul pets are definitely much stronger than us. If we want to fight one-on-one, it’s indeed impossible to win. Therefore, let’s choose one later and fight them one by one?”
“Even the old princ.i.p.al suggested it. It’s not embarra.s.sing.” “Eh, but when we become second-year seniors next year, will we also face such a situation?”
Everyone thought about it and agreed…
w.a.n.g Che smiled and replied, “The Heavenly Dao will not spare anyone.”
Kong Shijin was stunned and praised, “Eh, that makes sense!” “They’re on stage!” Yun Feimo was eager to
try.
Everyone hurriedly looked over.
Indeed, on the huge soul pet battle stage, 14 seniors walked up.
Half of them were men and half of them were women.
They were all very good-looking.
Every one of them had a soul pet. Other than the ghost-type and the rare dragon-type, most of the types were there.
There were even mechanical-type soul pets.
The 14 seniors were like champions that stood on the soul pet platform with smiles on their faces, waiting in their respective areas.
“The seniors are all quite handsome, but I feel that they’re not as handsome as our cla.s.smate here… Senior Tian Xiaoyu is also here!”
Yun Feimo glanced at it and smiled, “The senior sisters… are indeed very beautiful…”
Physical appearance was always the first thing one saw.
Even a girl like Yun Feimo could not help but cry out.
w.a.n.g Che also looked over.
The senior who shocked Yun Feimo was the one on the right. She was about 20 years old and was 1.7 meters tall. She had shoulder-length bright hair and exquisite facial features. Especially her eyes, they were sky-blue like a gem, giving off a pure and flawless feeling.
She was wearing a pale white combat suit and had a faint warm smile on her face. She had a gentle and elegant aura.
She was currently caressing the soul pet beside her.
