Spirit Hall Registration

Spirit Hall Registration

The second floor of Notting College's cafeteria was quite expensive. Generally speaking, those who ate here were children of nobles; ordinary self-funded students and Work-Study Students could not afford the meals on the second floor.

The biggest difference between the first and second floors was that the first floor served ordinary food, while the ingredients on the second floor came from Soul Beasts. Though they were only low-level Soul Beasts, a Soul Beast was still a Soul Beast, and its nutritional value was far beyond that of ordinary livestock.

As a result, the food on the second floor was rather expensive.

Xiao Wu had never known the meaning of restraint. With Lu Yuan's tacit approval, she ordered a great many dishes, while Lu Yuan chose several dishes he particularly liked.

One dish was Panxi Tendons, made from a ten-year Soul Beast Panxi. After being stewed with medicinal herbs, it turned a golden color. Soft and glutinous yet still springy, it was delicious and melted in the mouth. It was also highly beneficial for strengthening one's physique.

Another was Rainbow Chicken Wings, made from the wings of a ten-year Soul Beast Rainbow Chicken. Under the chef's skillful preparation, they turned golden and glistening, with rich wing meat covered in shimmering golden oil. They could truly be called an unparalleled delicacy.

Stir-fried Green Vine Core was made from a ten-year Soul Beast Green Vine. After peeling away the vine's outer skin, the tender core within was blanched in boiling water to remove its bitterness, then stir-fried over high heat with premium yellow peppers. Sweet, crisp, and tender, it was truly a fine dish.

Green Bamboo Shoot Duck Soup combined bamboo shoots from a ten-year Soul Beast Green Bamboo with a ten-year Soul Beast White Jade Duck. It was simmered over low heat for a full three hours before it was finally complete. The soup was so delicious that it could make one swallow their tongue.

Even on the second floor, these dishes were among the most expensive. Normally, even Lu Yuan would only order one or two of them occasionally. Today, he had really splurged.

The four dishes, together with those Xiao Wu had ordered, filled the entire table.

Xiao Wu did not have a large appetite and was particularly fond of the Stir-fried Green Vine Core. Lu Yuan and Tang San, on the other hand, ate everything without hesitation. After a thorough sweep, they cleaned every dish off the table.

With his belly round and full, Lu Yuan paid the bill. That lunch had cost a full fifteen Gold Soul Coins, enough for an ordinary family to live on for three or four years.

It had to be said that anything related to Soul Masters on Douluo Continent was exceedingly expensive.

Tang San was very satisfied. Since his rebirth, this was the most enjoyable meal he had ever eaten. Xiao Wu was much the same, her little belly round and her lips still glistening with a fine sheen of oil.

"Urp!" Xiao Wu let out a satisfied burp. It was clear she had thoroughly enjoyed lunch. She patted Lu Yuan's shoulder in a pretentious manner. "Not bad. From now on, in Notting College, Sister Xiao Wu will look after you!"

Lu Yuan could not help laughing. In Notting College, who would dare provoke him?

Had she not noticed how all the noble students on the second floor kept their distance from him?

Xiao Wu's powers of observation were naturally not as sharp as Tang San's. Tang San had taken in the noble students' fear of Lu Yuan, and he asked, "I feel like they're all very afraid of you!"

Lu Yuan smiled. "These noble students usually like causing trouble around the college. After I taught them a lesson a few times, they became like this."

Tang San nodded at that. On the day he first enrolled, he had personally experienced such a thing. Those noble students' contempt for Work-Study Students had been completely undisguised.

"Hmph, all those people deserve a beating, especially that Xiao Chenyu!" Xiao Wu said angrily. She had not forgotten how Xiao Chenyu had bullied the Work-Study Students. If Tang San had not stopped her, she would have rushed over and properly taught him a lesson long ago.

"Heh, wherever there are people, there is conflict. The struggle between nobles and commoners has existed for a long time. The college is also a small society, and the conflict between Noble Students and Work-Study Students did not arise in just a day or two."

"Doesn't the college do anything about it?" Tang San asked in confusion.

Lu Yuan shook his head. "They can't. Even if they can manage it for a while, once enough time passes, things will return to how they were. The college has no solution either."

"However!" Lu Yuan's gaze shifted as he said, "If you Work-Study Students become strong yourselves and teach those Noble Students a lesson, life will probably become much better afterward."

Tang San lowered his head in thought. Since he was now a Work-Study Student, he would have to resolve this issue sooner or later. Nothing was more intimidating than displaying one's own strength.

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. "Lu Yuan is right. Little San, we should show Xiao Chenyu and the others what we're made of, let them know that Sister Xiao Wu isn't someone to be messed with."

Tang San nodded. "We can discuss this when we get back."

Seeing Tang San say so, Xiao Wu could only nod in agreement.

There were no Martial Soul classes in the afternoon, which gave Lu Yuan just enough time to register.

He had already been to Spirit Hall once, so everything was much more familiar this time.

When he entered Spirit Hall's reception hall, Sisi, the female Soul Master who had awakened his Martial Soul last time, was unexpectedly absent. With no other choice, he stopped someone at random to ask.

"May I ask where Soul Master registration is?"

"Go up to the second floor. The second room on the left is Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo's office, and you can register there!" Seeing that Lu Yuan was richly dressed and carried himself with an extraordinary air, the Spirit Hall member was very patient.

"Alright, thank you!" After thanking him, Lu Yuan headed toward the stairs.

After reaching the second floor and turning left, he found the second room's door half-open.

This is the place. Looking at the half-open door before him, Lu Yuan thought.

He knocked on the door, and an aged voice came from within. "Come in!"

Pushing open the door, he found three people inside. One was an old man around sixty or seventy years old. The other two were a man and a woman, both around twenty. Coincidentally, he had seen both of them before.

One was Sisi, the female Soul Master who had awakened his Martial Soul last time. The other was Su Yuntao, the ever-reliable errand boy.

Looks like Brother Tao and I have some fate between us. I've come to Spirit Hall twice, and I've run into him both times! Lu Yuan chuckled inwardly.

"Little friend, what can I do for you?" Ma Xiunuo asked.

"Eh, it's you, little friend!" Sisi immediately recognized Lu Yuan. After all, Innate Full Soul Power was rare enough, let alone with a powerful dragon-type Martial Soul. It was impossible for her impression of him not to be deep.

"Sisi, you know him?" Su Yuntao asked curiously.

Sisi said, "He's the genius whose Martial Soul I awakened, the one with a dragon-type Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Oh!" Ma Xiunuo became interested. "Little friend, have you made up your mind? Do you want to join our Spirit Hall?"

Lu Yuan said, "I came to Spirit Hall to register. Could you let me register first before we discuss that?"

"Of course. Do you already have your first soul ring so soon?" Ma Xiunuo asked curiously.

As he spoke, he took out a blue crystal. "You have Innate Full Soul Power, so unless something unexpected happened, your Soul Power should be at level eleven."

Blue light suddenly burst forth, and the crystal lit up. Judging from its brightness, his Soul Power had reached level fourteen.

Ma Xiunuo was somewhat shocked. "How is your Soul Power level fourteen? Child, may I see your soul ring?"

Lu Yuan: ""
