Li Chang'an's family was in the hotel business, and theirs was the largest hotel in Spirit City—the kind with a proper reputation.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Li Chang'an shouted carelessly the moment he entered, then plopped down onto the hotel sofa and crossed one leg over the other.
Li Chang'an's parents were checking the accounts at the front desk. Hearing that he was back, his mother smiled fondly. Her son had always been this way since childhood, and she was long used to it.
"Chang'an, you're back. Are you hungry?"
Li Chang'an shook his head to say he was not hungry, his eyes freely roaming over the hotel's young waitresses. After all, he was still young, so no one would think much of it.
His father suddenly looked up and asked, "How did your Martial Soul Awakening go?"
Li Chang'an's parents had never supported him becoming a Soul Master. Being a Soul Master was far too dangerous; how could it compare to inheriting the family business?
Besides, their family had never produced any particularly powerful Martial Souls. Therefore, Father Li had held no expectations for Li Chang'an's Martial Soul Awakening at all. He had already planned to comfort his son and have him live peacefully as a wealthy man.
Just as Li Chang'an was about to start showing off, the hotel doors were suddenly pushed open. A man wearing the uniform of Spirit Hall Academy walked in, carrying a large tray. Inside the box was a set of dark-red Spirit Hall Academy uniforms, a school badge, an enrollment handbook, and Li Chang'an's student identification.
"Hello, is this Li Chang'an's home?"
Li Chang'an rose from the sofa and nodded. "I'm Li Chang'an."
The man's attitude immediately became more respectful upon seeing Li Chang'an. Before coming, he had been specifically told that the young man before him was already the Pope's personal disciple. His status went without saying.
"Hello. Titled Douluo Guimei asked me to deliver your uniform and enrollment items."
Li Chang'an nodded, thanked the man, and sent him away. When he turned around, he saw his parents staring in shock, along with several young ladies standing in the hotel lobby.
Someone from Spirit Hall had personally delivered his enrollment items, and with such a respectful attitude at that. Most importantly, Li Chang'an had actually been admitted to Spirit Hall Academy!
Spirit Hall Academy! The number one Spirit Hall Academy on the continent! With their son's abilities, he had gotten into Spirit Hall Academy?
Li Chang'an's eyes curved into crescents as he proudly lifted his little chin. "Ahem. I now officially announce!"
"I, Li Chang'an, was not only admitted to Spirit Hall Academy, but was also accepted by the Pope as her personal disciple!"
Li Chang'an did not say much, but every sentence landed like a bomb, leaving Father Li, Mother Li, and the group of young ladies utterly stunned...
The legendary Pope's personal disciple? How could it be this brat?
But then Father Li's eyes gained a trace of relief. With his son becoming the Pope's disciple, many things would benefit from it—his son's future, for one, and the family business as well.
After spending half the day outside bragging to his parents and the hotel staff, and reassuring his parents enough to put them at ease, Li Chang'an finally strode up to the sixth floor. There was a room reserved specifically for him there, the best room in the entire hotel.
Lying on the soft, comfortable bed, Li Chang'an finally had time to properly inspect his system.
Introduction to the Strongest Divine Manifestation System: As long as you successfully manifest divinity before others, you may receive point rewards. Points can be used to exchange for items in the exchange section. Note: Divine Manifestation is divided into ordinary Divine Manifestation and mission Divine Manifestation. Mission Divine Manifestation grants corresponding mission rewards.
After reading the introduction, Li Chang'an understood. The more impressively he showed off, the stronger he would become.
Still, showing off really was a technical skill. For instance, with his current strength, he simply could not show off in front of a Soul Elder if they were comparing Soul Power. But if he revealed his Twin Martial Souls before that Soul Elder, he would definitely succeed in showing off.
Looks like showing off was exhausting too. He used to think only playing with it was tiring...
Li Chang'an then looked at the points section. He already had 1,347 points, all of which he had earned today by successfully showing off his Twin Martial Souls.
In the exchange section, Li Chang'an found the items he could currently exchange for:
Soul Power Fruit (Beginner): Increases Soul Power by 100 points. Cost: 100 points. (No limit; may be consumed infinitely.) Soul Ring Fruit (Beginner): Increases a Soul Ring's age by 100 years. Cost: 1,000 points. (No limit; may be consumed infinitely.) More items coming soon.
Li Chang'an: ...
Even though he could only exchange for two items, Li Chang'an was already very satisfied. The effects of these two fruits were nothing short of heaven-defying!
Take the Soul Power Fruit, for example. Consuming one increased Soul Power by one hundred points. On his character panel, aside from lacking a Soul Ring, he was also exactly one hundred points of Soul Power short of reaching level eleven.
In other words, as long as he had enough points and enough Soul Rings, he would not need to cultivate at all. He could reach the rank of Titled Douluo in a single day.
Of course, that was only wishful thinking. The Soul Power required to reach Titled Douluo would probably start at several billion, and he did not even know whether he would live to see that day. Besides, he also needed points to exchange for Soul Ring Fruits and improve the quality of his Soul Rings.
Still, Soul Ring Fruits were truly expensive. Raising a Soul Ring's age by only one hundred years cost so many points. Then again, it broke the restriction that Soul Rings could not be improved.
Next, he just had to see when he could obtain his first Soul Ring!
Li Chang'an waved his little fist on the bed, thinking excitedly. His character panel also gave him a limit for his first Soul Ring. With his current physical strength, he could absorb a Soul Ring that was at most nine hundred years old.
And as his physical strength and points increased in the future, perhaps Li Chang'an could even make his first Soul Ring a hundred-thousand-year one!
After checking the system, Li Chang'an lay on the bed with his hands beneath his head and could not help thinking of Bibi Dong. Before transmigrating, he had known Bibi Dong was a great beauty, but after seeing her in person today, Li Chang'an felt that Bibi Dong's beauty was beyond what words could describe.
Mm, I love my teacher!
With that thought, Li Chang'an immediately got up from the bed, thumped downstairs, and ran toward the hotel kitchen.
"Uncle Wang, how are those biscuits I asked you to develop three months ago?"
"In reply to Young Master, their flavor and appearance are already flawless," Chef Wang replied respectfully.
"Good. Then today, you'll personally guide me. I want to make a batch of biscuits myself and give them to my teacher!" Li Chang'an nodded.
"If Young Master wants to give someone a gift, I, Old Wang, can make a batch for you. Why do you need to do it yourself?" Uncle Wang could not understand this approach.
Li Chang'an smiled and shook his head. "Uncle Wang, you don't understand. Only something made with my own hands can express my deep love for my teacher."
