Enrollment at East Sea

"Five Senses Deprivation? Is that a Soul Skill a Healing-type Spirit Master should have?"

Upon learning this, Xiao Yu's eyes filled with bewilderment and doubt.

One Martial Soul that was clearly suited for healing, and one Jade Swan that was surely a healing-type Soul Beast—how had they produced a control-type Soul Skill when combined?!

Xiao Yu racked his brains but could not figure out how this Soul Skill had appeared, much less how terrifying it was.

Recalling the sensation of all five forms of control being inflicted upon him at once, Su Haitao could not help but say in a trembling voice, "This subordinate has tested it. It does indeed count as a control-type Soul Skill."

"Leave it at that for now. Arrange for the child to attend school." Xiao Yu did not say much else. Martial Souls were inherently full of strange possibilities, let alone Soul Skills!

Control was control. At least it gave him some ability to protect himself.

Meanwhile, the protagonist of this whole matter was staring wide-eyed at a giant goose.

"Aren't you a healing-type Soul Beast? How do you have such a freakish Soul Skill?!"

"You're asking me? I want to ask you! How did my Soul Skill mutate when it got to you?!"

Hearing the fluent female voice, Li Jinsheng could not help but marvel. As expected of a top-tier Soul Beast—the Jade Swan possessed such high intelligence despite being only a hundred years old!

"My Martial Soul is the purest Life Element! It must be because of you, you fat goose!"

"What do you mean it's my fault?! It's obviously your fault!"

As she spoke, the Jade Swan began flapping her wings and launched a goose charge at Li Jinsheng.

A scene of a giant goose chasing a child soon unfolded in the room.

"I'm definitely having iron-pot stewed goose tonight. Not even Jesus can stop me!" Li Jinsheng had never imagined that these two goose-named creatures would both know this move.

Most importantly, swans could fly!

Suddenly, the room's door opened, revealing the sight of goose and human leaping about.

The Spirit Pagoda staff member helplessly pressed a hand to her forehead and said gently, "You two, stop for a moment."

As her words fell, the chase between the person and the goose finally came to a halt.

"Big sister, is something wrong?" Li Jinsheng stopped and asked curiously.

"Tomorrow is the first day of school for the Federation's junior academies! Whether you are a Soul Master or not, you must attend compulsory education. The Spirit Pagoda has already enrolled you in the Soul Master class at East Sea Junior Academy."

"Thank you, big sister. I understand!" Li Jinsheng stepped forward a few paces as he spoke.

"Is there anything else?!"

"Big sister, can I have iron-pot stewed goose tonight? I heard it's delicious, and I want to try it!"

"Of course you can!" The staff member had thought it was something serious. This was an easy request to fulfill.

His life must have been difficult before. Eating well and sleeping well were probably this child's greatest goals in life.

"Thank you, big sister!"

"You're welcome! I'll notify the kitchen and have it delivered to you tonight!"

With that, the staff member left the room, leaving behind one person and one goose once more.

The Jade Swan remained standing elegantly where she was, while Li Jinsheng sat down in the chair by the desk, picked up a carton of strawberry milk, and drank it with enjoyment.

He could not help but sigh inwardly. What miserable days had he lived through during those previous six years?

He looked at the Jade Swan. "Big Goose, what's your name?!"

"I don't have a name." The Jade Swan's imposing manner instantly weakened.

"It's fine. I gave myself my own name too." Li Jinsheng was not surprised in the slightest. Without even pausing to think, he blurted out, "From now on, you'll be called Jade!"

"Thank you..." Jade replied in a clear voice. Yet she still held her head high with pride.

"You're welcome!"

As the sky gradually darkened, Li Jinsheng tasted delicious food for the first time in this world. Yet there were still only three words in his heart: survive.

He had to keep living.

At daybreak, Li Jinsheng changed into a set of new clothes and arrived at East Sea Junior Academy. Today was the day of enrollment.

According to the Sun Moon Federation's regulations, both junior academies and intermediate academies provided free compulsory education. Junior academies taught for three years, while intermediate academies taught for six.

The Soul Master class had dedicated teachers waiting at the academy entrance to receive the students, and its treatment was clearly much better than that of the ordinary classes.

Ordinary classes only provided standard cultural education. Beyond that, the Soul Master classes focused more on teaching students born with Soul Power how to become Soul Masters, along with knowledge related to Soul Masters, preparing them for their future entry into intermediate academies.

Although Eastsea City lacked Soul Master resources, what it truly lacked were Soul Masters with high-level Martial Souls. There were quite a few students in a single Soul Master class—thirty-five in total.

And this was only one academy in Eastsea City.

As Li Jinsheng entered the classroom, he noticed a young man with short brown hair and Dark Green eyes, and could not help but pause.

If he was not mistaken, this was likely the young master of Eastsea City's Xie Family.

Watching the students show off their Martial Souls one after another, Li Jinsheng yawned boredly. How dull.

When the teacher entered the classroom, class officially began. There were not many people in the class, so introductions went quickly. Just as Li Jinsheng had expected, that boy really was Xie Xie.

The teacher was stunned to discover that among this year's new students were actually two geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power. He quickly regained his composure and began the formal lesson.

"For the most part, martial souls are divided into two major categories: Tool Martial Souls and Beast Martial Souls. Those that manifest as living beings are Beast Martial Souls, while those that manifest as nonliving things are Tool Martial Souls. There is also a third kind, the Body Martial Soul, which is a part of one's body. The more important the organ, the higher the quality of the Body Martial Soul."

The teacher explained everything in great detail, but it was all information Li Jinsheng already knew.

The afternoon class was equally dull. The teacher merely guided the students in meditation, and Li Jinsheng found it unbearably boring.

Meanwhile, a luxury car slowly came to a stop before the East Sea Spirit Pagoda. A servant opened the door, and the first thing to emerge was an ankle clad in an exquisite purple high heel. Only then did the rest of her figure appear with graceful elegance.

She was a strikingly poised woman, wrapped in a perfectly tailored violet dress. Her long purple-black hair was pinned up, revealing a fair, slender neck.

Her features were cold and stern, her expression composed. Behind her followed a six-year-old girl. Her white shirt and white trousers stood out sharply in the dusk. Her black ponytail swayed gently with each step, while two locks of long hair hung beside her cheeks.

The girl looked up at the Spirit Pagoda towering into the clouds, her black eyes filled with chilliness. She said to the woman beside her, "The Golden Dragon King's aura appeared somewhere in the East Sea region. Find him!" (The entire East Sea coastal region.)

"Yes, Master!" Xiong Jun answered, then drove the luxury car away.

Before the Spirit Pagoda, only Zi Ji and Gu Yue remained.

"Master, what should we do about Na'er? She's currently at Shrek Academy..." Zi Ji trailed off hesitantly.

Gu Yue felt helpless over Na'er's sudden mishap, but her voice remained calm. "Let her be for now. We'll join the Spirit Pagoda first. Remember, we are a reclusive family from East Sea, and from now on, you are my mother."

Zi Ji said nothing and directly led Gu Yue into the East Sea Spirit Pagoda.
