Enrollment at Spirit City Junior Soul Master Academy

On Douluo Continent, a soul master's soul skills had always been secrets.

But that was only when it came to outsiders.

With those close to them, there was often no need to hide too much.

For example, in a soul master team, informing each other of their soul skills was the most basic requirement. Otherwise, it would be difficult to ensure perfect coordination in battle.

Faced with Hu Liena's curious question, Gu Han had never intended to hide it.

After all, the First Soul Skill of his Martial Soul: Sacred Dragon was simply too ordinary. It was nothing more than a straightforward energy projectile attack, with nothing worth concealing.

"Senior Sister, in the Soul Hunting Forest this time, I hunted a Sacred Light Golden Dragon that was around four hundred years old. It had the Light Attribute, an extremely pure dragon bloodline, and was close to being a true dragon."

"As for the soul skill I gained, I call it Sacred Light Roar Bomb. It condenses a Sacred Light energy bomb and fires it in a chosen direction. Its power is pretty decent."

"And against Soul Beasts with dark or evil attributes, its damage should be doubled."

Looking at his senior sister, whose figure was exquisitely curvaceous, with short golden hair reaching her ears and a bewitchingly beautiful face, Gu Han spoke.

"A Sacred Light Golden Dragon? That's quite good!"

Learning that Gu Han's first Soul Ring had come from a Sacred Light Golden Dragon with an exceptionally powerful bloodline, Hu Liena was very happy for him.

"By the way, Senior Sister, there's something I want to ask you."

Since Hu Liena was here, Gu Han happened to have something he wanted to ask.

It was almost time for the soul master academies in Spirit City to begin their term.

There were three soul master academies in Spirit City: Spirit City Junior Soul Master Academy, Spirit City Intermediate Soul Master Academy, and Spirit City Advanced Soul Master Academy.

At six years old and with the strength of a Level 11 soul master, Gu Han could choose to enroll in either Spirit City Junior Soul Master Academy or Spirit City Intermediate Soul Master Academy.

He was currently torn over which one to choose.

His senior sister Hu Liena, who had gone through it herself, had come at just the right time. Gu Han decided to ask her about the situation and seek her advice.

Before Hu Liena, Gu Han brought up the question.

"Which soul master academy to join... I suggest you join Spirit City Junior Soul Master Academy, Xiao Han."

A thoughtful look appeared on Hu Liena's bewitchingly beautiful face. After thinking it over, she still advised Gu Han to choose the junior academy.

"Spirit City Junior Soul Master Academy and the intermediate academy don't actually differ much. The only differences are the cultivation levels of the teachers and the content of the lessons."

"As for cultivation resources, your teacher provides those for you, Xiao Han. So it makes no difference whether you join the junior academy or the intermediate academy."

"But Xiao Han, you probably haven't gone to school before."

"The biggest difference in teaching between the junior and intermediate soul master academies is that the junior academy mainly teaches common knowledge about the continent."

"For example, Common Continental Language, Mathematics, Imperial History, Continental Geography, Introduction to Continental Factions, and so on. I think these foundational courses are still necessary to learn."

"The intermediate academy mainly teaches knowledge related to soul masters. You can learn those things later."

"But if you don't learn basic common knowledge, it will have a considerable impact when you venture into the Soul Master World in the future."

After hearing Hu Liena's words, Gu Han understood what she meant.

Choosing the junior academy meant primarily learning common knowledge about the continent and the Soul Master World, which would be very helpful when he ventured through the Soul Master World in the future.

Otherwise, when he set out into the Soul Master World someday, he might not even know the continent's terrain map!

As for the intermediate academy, it mainly taught soul master knowledge and improved a soul master's combat ability.

He could take his time learning those things in the future.

After all, as someone who was deeply worried that his teacher, Pope Bibi Dong, might one day discard him once he had outlived his usefulness—

Gu Han felt that attending the junior academy first was indeed the better choice.

With Pope Bibi Dong providing cultivation resources,

it made no difference to him whether he attended the junior or intermediate academy. He should instead do his best to prepare for leaving Spirit City in the future.

In the blink of an eye, it was the opening day for Spirit City's three great soul master academies.

Accompanied by Hu Liena, Gu Han arrived before Spirit City Junior Soul Master Academy.

The academy covered an extremely vast area.

The entire academy was enclosed by white walls patterned with golden lines. Within stood lush trees, fountain plazas, pavilions, towers, numerous teaching buildings, and clock towers.

In any case, it looked exceptionally grand and magnificent.

Led by Hu Liena, Gu Han entered Spirit City Junior Soul Master Academy.

They made their way to a teaching building and entered an office.

This was where enrollment registration was handled.

"Nana! What are you doing here?"

Several teachers were currently receiving arriving students in the office. They registered the students, tested their talents, and assigned them to classes.

Among them, a tall middle-aged teacher dressed in a black robe embroidered with golden threads was quite surprised when he saw Hu Liena.

"Director Ling, I brought my junior brother here to enroll. You all have to take good care of him from now on!"

Facing an office full of teachers, Hu Liena was not nervous in the slightest. Instead, a playful smile appeared on her bewitchingly beautiful face as she said with a charming laugh.

"Junior brother?"

At that moment, the teachers also noticed Gu Han, and their expressions all became extremely strange.

Clearly, they knew of Gu Han's existence as well.

Although they did not resent Gu Han as intensely as the younger soul masters did, they did not like him much either.

After all, Gu Han was only a soul master with 0.25 levels of Innate Soul Power. His talent and aptitude were simply terrible.

Yet Pope Bibi Dong had accepted someone with such talent as her disciple. These teachers naturally felt somewhat stifled and unhappy about it.

Who would not envy such treatment?

It was like Gu Han studying diligently through bitter hardship for more than a decade in his previous life, only to discover that he could not compare to some Ding Zhen who had never attended school, with nothing but innocence and wildness in his eyes.

Who could accept that so easily?

"So this is His Holiness the Pope's newly accepted disciple? He certainly has an impressive bearing!"

Compared to the other teachers, Director Ling possessed far greater social finesse and composure. He quickly recovered, smiled, and praised Gu Han for his impressive appearance.

But in response to Director Ling's praise,

the other newly enrolled students in the office, after learning Gu Han's identity, were filled with jealousy and indignation.

So this guy is that lucky piece of trash? With Innate Soul Power of only 0.25 levels, he's barely any better than someone with a useless Martial Soul. And this trash was actually accepted as His Holiness the Pope's disciple? Heaven truly has no eyes!

Hmph! Impressive bearing? This guy's face is the only thing he has going for him. Could His Holiness the Pope have taken a liking to him just because he looks decent? But I'm not bad-looking either!

Just keep being proud for a little longer! So what if you look impressive? Soul masters are judged by talent and strength. Once you register, summon your Martial Soul, and undergo the talent test, your true colors will be exposed!
