Tang Wulin

After returning home, Su Lie asked Su Hao:

"Little Hao, which Junior Academy do you want to attend?"

Hearing Su Lie's question, Su Hao felt that Junior Academies only taught general knowledge about the continent and cultivation of soul power, so that students could reach Level 10 as soon as possible and enter an intermediate academy.

But he was already Level 10. On top of that, his adoptive father was the city lord, and he had read the original novel before transmigrating, so such general knowledge was of no help to him now.

Since he already met the requirements in both level and knowledge, he might as well attend the same academy as the protagonist.

With that thought in mind, he said:

"Father, I want to go to Red Mountain Academy."

Su Lie, standing beside him, was somewhat surprised to hear that Su Hao wanted to attend Red Mountain Academy. After all, Red Mountain Academy was neither some prestigious high-level Junior Academy in Aolai City nor a low-level one. It could only be considered average.

Since Su Hao wanted to go, Su Lie did not stop him. With him at home, even if the Junior Academy could not teach Su Hao something, he could teach him himself.

Thinking this, Su Lie agreed to let Su Hao attend Red Mountain Academy.

The next day, after finishing the breakfast made by the maid, Su Hao took a car to the Red Mountain Academy Su Lie had arranged for him. Carrying the documents prepared in advance, he headed to the soul master class.

After entering the soul master class, Su Hao saw a group of people gathered together, talking. Curious, he walked over and heard:

"It's the same Blue Silver Grass as the Tang Sect's founding ancestor!"

Then Su Hao saw the little boy turn over his right hand. Blue light surged from his palm, and blades of Blue Silver Grass emerged one after another.

However, what the little boy did not notice was that this Blue Silver Grass was slightly different from yesterday's. At its roots were faint threads of pale gold. They were so subtle that they could not be noticed without close inspection.

Seeing this, Su Hao realized that the little boy before him was Tang Wulin.

The chubby boy who had just questioned Tang Wulin looked disdainful upon seeing that Tang Wulin's Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass.

Tang Wulin was clearly unconvinced and asked:

"Then what's your Martial Soul?"

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, the chubby boy waved his right hand and summoned a short saber. He said:

"See this? My Martial Soul is a saber. My Innate Soul Power is as high as Level 5. As long as I cultivate casually, I'll be able to become a Titled Douluo."

"And I've already thought of my title. Once I cultivate to that level, my Douluo title will be Saber God Douluo."

As the chubby boy spoke, he swung the short saber in his hand up and down. Suddenly, he spotted Su Hao standing behind the crowd and arrogantly said:

"Hey, newcomer in the back, what's your Martial Soul?"

At the chubby boy's words, everyone turned their attention to Su Hao. Hearing him, Su Hao summoned his Martial Soul.

At once, the left side of Su Hao's chest lit up, flashing with five colors. Then Su Hao said calmly:

"My Martial Soul is a heart. My Innate Soul Power is Level 10."

When the people around them heard that Su Hao's Innate Soul Power was Level 10, they immediately abandoned the chubby boy they had been crowding around and gathered around Su Hao instead, firing all sorts of questions at him about his Martial Soul.

Just as the classroom grew noisy, the Homeroom Teacher soon entered. She was a beautiful young female soul master named Lin Ximeng.

"Hello, everyone. I'm your Homeroom Teacher for the next three years, Lin Ximeng. I'll teach you some basic knowledge related to soul masters. Now, let's begin by introducing ourselves."

After the sixteen Students in the class had finished introducing themselves, Lin Ximeng gave them a preliminary introduction to the classifications of Martial Souls.

"...There are mainly two kinds of Martial Souls: Tool Martial Souls and Beast Martial Souls. Those that manifest as living creatures are Beast Martial Souls, while those that manifest as nonliving objects are Tool Martial Souls. By cultivating soul power, you can strengthen your Martial Souls. Before your soul power reaches Level 10, you are called Soul Scholars. After breaking through Level 10, you can fuse with a Soul Spirit and officially become soul masters."

"There are also two major categories of soul masters: Battle Soul Masters and Artifact Soul Masters. The classification mainly depends on the purpose of your cultivation. Those who cultivate to enhance their combat power are Battle Soul Masters, while those who cultivate to enhance non-combat abilities are Artifact Soul Masters..."

After listening carefully for a while, Su Hao realized that he already knew all the knowledge and theories Lin Ximeng taught. Only a small part had come from the original novel, while most of it had been learned over the past six years from the books in the City Lord's Mansion or from his adoptive father.

That afternoon, Su Hao followed Lin Ximeng in learning the Meditation Method. He found that it was also a common, low-grade technique. After all, a Junior Academy had no high-level Meditation Methods for him to learn.

So after meditating for a while, he quietly switched to the Meditation Method Su Lie had taught him.

As Su Hao meditated, he thought to himself:

"Since my soul power was already Level 10 when I awakened, unlike the others, who might only awaken with Level 4 or 5 soul power and need two or three years of cultivation to reach Level 10 before absorbing a Soul Spirit..."

"I can absorb a Soul Spirit and break through Level 10 right now."

"But I still need to wait. After seven days, once I join the Spirit Pagoda, I remember that Spirit Master saying the Spirit Pagoda would give me a top-grade Soul Spirit."

"When the time comes, I'll just absorb that Soul Spirit."

"For now, I need to build a good relationship with Tang Wulin. Not to mention the Tang Sect's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes—given my luck, obtaining immortal herbs would not be difficult."

"What matters is the Life Core Tang Wulin obtains. That is an indispensable treasure to me."

"If the Life Core of the Douluo Plane and the Plane Lord were not Tang Wulin's grandparents, then I would not need to befriend Tang Wulin at all. With my luck, I would soon obtain that thing through all kinds of means."

"But because of what Tang San did with his parents and the Douluo Plane, I can only have a chance to obtain this Life Core that way."

"Otherwise, there would be no chance at all."

As he thought this, the afternoon quickly came to an end. While Su Hao packed his things and considered how to approach Tang Wulin, Tang Wulin came over and said:

"Hello, my name is Tang Wulin. May we be friends?"

Seeing Tang Wulin take the initiative to come forward and make friends, Su Hao found it perfectly in line with his plans and said:

"Hello, Tang Wulin. I'm Su Hao—you know that.

"Of course we can be friends. After all, we'll be classmates for the next three years, won't we?"

After that, Su Hao continued talking with Tang Wulin. With Su Hao deliberately trying to get on his good side, Tang Wulin quickly came to trust him.

Moreover, from the information Su Hao intentionally and unintentionally revealed, Tang Wulin also learned Su Hao's identity.

Thus, Su Hao and Tang Wulin left the school gates together. Then, Su Hao spotted the driver waiting by the roadside to pick him up.

Su Hao quickly walked over and told the driver to leave first, as he wanted to walk home with Tang Wulin.

The driver who had come to pick Su Hao up said that he could park the car somewhere near the school, but he had to stay nearby to protect him.

Seeing that he could not persuade the driver otherwise, Su Hao had no choice but to agree to let him follow nearby. He then returned to Tang Wulin's side and walked home with him.

After walking with Tang Wulin for some distance, Su Hao noticed that Tang Wulin had suddenly stopped. He followed Tang Wulin's gaze and looked over.
