Blackwater Pill?

A little later, Lu Lin had returned to his dormitory.

(He) was in an exceptionally good mood today.

And on the way back to the academy, Lu Lin couldn't help but sigh inwardly, the president of the Blacksmith's Association was a good person!

The Black Iron (he) used to test (his) forging skills was provided by the association.

It wasn't hard to understand that the finished product, after being forged, would be taken away by the association.

However, President Zhu had bought it out for 100 Gold Soul Coins, so how could he not be happy?

Of course, Lu Lin didn't know that (he) was the only exception.

Another most important reason for Lu Lin's joy was that (he) was about to break through.

In two days at the latest, (his) Soul Power Level could break through to Level 18.

The freshman dormitory area was located in a corner to the southeast of Shrek.

When Lu Lin returned to the dormitory, (he) noticed that new bedding supplies and other items had been laid out on the opposite bed. A hint of confusion flashed in (his) eyes.

(He) had only been out for a while, and this Mysterious Roommate had already returned?

Suppressing (his) confusion, Lu Lin walked to the bed, sat cross-legged, and entered a state of cultivation.

A moment later, a handsome young man in a Blue Tunic walked in from outside the door.

(His) figure was extremely tall and straight, half a head taller than Lu Lin. (His) face was angular, with Sword Eyebrows and Star Eyes, and (his) eyes were clear and bright like stars.

It could be said that (his) Modeling was quite outstanding.

As soon as the other party entered the dormitory and saw Lu Lin, (he) was first stunned, then naturally spoke and introduced himself:

"Hello, new roommate, my name is Long Chenyu, please take care of me."

Hmm, seems approachable?

Lu Lin thought this inwardly, and looking at the other party, (he) said:

"My name is Lu Lin, please take care of me."

"Mm, speaking of which, it's been several days since school started, why are you only returning now?"

The young man named Long Chenyu walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. Hearing this, (he) frankly said:

"Mm, I happened to have a breakthrough, so I went to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a soul ring first, which is why I was delayed for a few days."

Hunting for a soul ring?

Lu Lin was slightly taken aback.

He couldn't sense the other party's specific soul power level.

But going to hunt for a soul ring at the point of enrollment, it was unlikely they were a Two Ring Soul Grand Master.

This meant the other party was most likely a Three Ring Soul Elder.

Tsk, a Three Ring Soul Elder under twelve years old, Lu Lin knew no one else like that.

Of course, his Avatar Unit 1 was an exception.

He had to admit, Shrek Academy really was a gathering place for monsters.

After Long Chenyu finished speaking, he paused. Perhaps sensing Lu Lin's thoughts, he thought for a moment and then said, "Heh, I am indeed a Three Ring now. My martial soul is the Holy Light Dragon, an Assault Type Battle Soul Elder. Hmm, Lu Lin, what about you?"

"..."

Lu Lin was truly shocked when he heard the other party's martial soul.

Holy Light Dragon martial soul, Ultimate Light Attribute... Elder Mu from this era??

Lu Lin suddenly felt fortunate that he hadn't chosen Yu Wufan when creating his avatar back then.

The Blue Lightning Bright Hegemon Dragon was indeed good, but how could it compare to a true Holy Light Dragon martial soul?

Since the other party was so straightforward, Lu Lin naturally reciprocated with honesty, as there was no need to hide anything:

"My current soul power level is Level 17. My martial soul is a Plant System Martial Soul called the Pure Fire Green Lotus."

Long Chenyu heard that Lu Lin's soul power level was only Level 17, but his expression remained unchanged. There was no cliché plot of disdain. Instead, he began asking about things new students needed to pay attention to for the start of school.

Lu Lin was slightly taken aback.

Heh, this was good too. At least they weren't difficult to get along with.

And so, the two began to converse, and before they knew it, their relationship had grown a bit closer.

Two days later, Lu Lin's level smoothly reached Level 18.

Shrek Academy had many Mimic Cultivation Places.

Mimic cultivation, as it was called, was a place simulated to be the most suitable for soul masters to cultivate, based on their martial soul characteristics.

For example, soul masters with fire attribute martial souls will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort when cultivating in hotter environments like lava. The same applies to ice attribute soul masters and plant martial soul masters.

With such unique advantages, it's hard for soul masters not to cultivate quickly at Shrek Academy.

And this is only Shrek's Outer Court.

What kind of world awaits them in the Inner Court?

However, these are irrelevant to Lu Lin for now.

Lu Lin also doesn't know the entry requirements for the Inner Court.

Lu Lin doesn't feel inferior either.

But objectively speaking, there is indeed a huge gap between himself and Dai Xichen, Long Chenyu, and even Qin He.

It's worth mentioning that although Long Chenyu is his roommate, they are not in the same class.

The freshman class competition three months later will pit Lu Lin's Class Two against Long Chenyu's Class One.

One day, Lu Lin finished his cultivation in the Mimic Forest. As soon as he walked out the gate, he saw Qin He looking around.

He was immediately speechless.

This kid wasn't serious about cultivation at all. In a way, they were complete opposites.

Qin He was naturally waiting for him here on purpose.

As soon as Qin He saw Lu Lin emerge, his eyes lit up, and he quickly scurried over:

"Hey, Lu Lin, you're finally out. I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

Lu Lin was slightly taken aback: "Is there something you need?"

Qin He nodded vigorously, then said nervously:

"Something big has happened, Lu Lin. I heard that the Class One team we'll be competing against in three months has a guy named Long Chenyu, and he's a Three Ring Soul Elder!"

"A Twelve Years Old Three Ring Soul Elder, Dai Xichen probably can't even beat him."

Upon hearing that it was about this matter, Lu Lin immediately understood. As he walked out, he said nonchalantly:

"This, I know."

Qin He was stunned: "You know?"

In his eyes, Lu Lin was an absolute cultivation fanatic. How could he know about this?

"Yeah, because he's my roommate."

Qin He: "..."

Oh, that makes sense.

But why weren't these two in the same class, yet they were roommates?

Lu Lin, unaware of Qin He's internal monologue, paused and looked at Qin He with suspicion.

"Why are you so invested in this? You're a Food System Soul Master, you can't even compete!"

Qin He was immediately displeased. "What do you mean? I'm part of Class Two too, I have some sense of collective honor."

Lu Lin nodded noncommittally.

To Lu Lin's surprise, Qin He, who had enrolled on the same day, seemed to have gathered quite a few "secret rumors" about the academy.

For example, Dai Xichen had an older brother named Dai Mingheng, who was not only an Inner Court student but also one of the current Shrek Seven Devils.

Another example was Ning Shuang, a senior from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect who was currently studying in the Outer Court, and Xu Yaoyao, a second-year student from the Star Luo Empire's royal family. They were known as the "Outer Court Twin Beauties," with countless admirers.

Although Lu Lin didn't know where Qin He got his information, he listened with great interest. It was good to just cultivate diligently and occasionally hear some gossip. Moreover, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Star Luo Empire's royal family were familiar names from the original work. Or rather, these individuals were all "staples" of Shrek Academy, appearing frequently in the Douluo series! He just wondered if another staple of Shrek Academy, the descendant of Ma Hongjun with the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, was currently at the academy.

Lu Lin had been at the academy these past few days and hadn't visited the Blacksmith Association. However, Lu Lin hadn't expected that several days after he registered as a blacksmith, someone from the Blacksmith Association would deliver a bottle of Mysterious Water Pills to him.
