Martial Soul, Flame Feather Vermilion Bird

Watching Yu Xiaogang's gaze grow increasingly fervent, Nan Li let out a cold laugh and said:

"According to your theory, Blue Silver Grass cannot provide Innate Full Soul Power, so you concluded that Tang San possesses another, even more powerful Martial Soul. But there is a widely accepted theory in the Martial Soul world: under normal circumstances, a person's Martial Soul is inherited from the stronger parent. If he has another powerful Martial Soul, why would he also possess the most ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul you speak of?"

"By the same reasoning, Twin Martial Souls only occur when both parents' Martial Souls are of similar quality. Since Tang San's Martial Soul is the most ordinary Blue Silver Grass in your words, then even if he has another twin Martial Soul, how powerful could it possibly be?"

With every word Nan Li spoke, Yu Xiaogang looked as though someone had publicly dumped a bucket of cold water over him. The confidence on his face gradually turned into shame and indignation.

Before Yu Xiaogang could speak, Nan Li continued, "I have no interest in your theories. A Soul Grandmaster not even at Level 30 is unworthy of being my teacher."

"I will pretend I never heard anything that happened today." Nan Li turned to Tang San and said seriously, "Do not trust anyone too easily, and do not casually reveal your trump cards to others."

"You, you!" Yu Xiaogang was clearly furious from embarrassment, but Nan Li's words left him unable to refute her for the moment.

Whether Tang San wanted to take a master had nothing to do with her. Nan Li had no desire to pay Yu Xiaogang any further attention and turned to leave.

It was undeniable that Tang San's Martial Soul had only just awakened, making it difficult to judge its quality. Yet Yu Xiaogang had confidently trotted out his theories without considering whether his analysis could even stand up. Only someone who spoke without thinking could draw conclusions so recklessly based on mere guesses.

On one hand, this man was hostile toward Spirit Hall; on the other, he shamelessly appropriated Spirit Hall's records and research findings for himself. Otherwise, where would a Soul Grandmaster below Level 30 investigate "six hundred and forty-seven people whose Martial Souls were Blue Silver Grass"?

Summarizing the achievements of predecessors would have been one thing, but claiming others' achievements as his own and acting smug about it, wearing that expression of "you do not understand me" and "everyone else is drunk while I alone am sober," was truly nauseating.

The Academic Affairs Office was not difficult to find. Nan Li arrived at the registration desk, placed her certificate on the table, and politely said, "Hello, teacher. I am a new student here to register."

It had to be said that her smile was highly deceptive. She seemed like an entirely different person from the one who had questioned the gatekeeper and mocked Yu Xiaogang moments earlier.

Director Su looked at the little girl before him, whose eyes curved into crescents when she smiled, and his expression could not help softening. He nodded at Nan Li, picked up the certificate on the desk, and when he saw the words "Flame Feather Vermilion Bird," he asked in confusion, "Flame Feather... Vermilion Bird?"

Flame Feather and Vermilion Bird? He did not seem to remember such a Martial Soul. Could it be a Martial Soul born from a mutation of the Flame Feather Sparrow Martial Soul?

Mutated Martial Souls were not particularly rare. After a brief moment of thought, Director Su continued reading.

"Innate Full Soul Power!"

Before the teacher could finish expressing his amazement, Nan Li smiled and asked about the academy's dormitory arrangements. In the Original Work, the protagonist and several Work-Study Students lived in the Seventh Dormitory. Could the remaining six dormitories possibly be one for each grade?

With that thought in mind, Nan Li asked, "Teacher, does the academy have any rule that would allow me to apply for a private dormitory?"

After completing her registration, Nan Li followed a young teacher to a dormitory. As the teacher opened the door, he explained apologetically, "I am very sorry, student Nan Li. The school currently has no single dormitories available. This is a two-person dormitory, but the school can let you live here alone. This room is quite spacious, so you can cultivate or exercise inside. Of course, if you find it bothersome, we can also have someone move the other bed away..."

The academy had always arranged for students to live together. Students at this age were still children, so living together was not an issue. Only at intermediate Soul Master academies were boys and girls separated. The academy had originally wanted to refuse Nan Li's request, but there was no helping it—she had offered far too much...

"I understand. Thank you, teacher." Nan Li did not particularly care about her living conditions. It was only because her identity was special and could not be exposed that she needed a private place.

After seeing the teacher off, Nan Li lay on one of the beds and stared at the ceiling. At last, she had time to sort through everything that had happened recently.

There were actually two souls within this body named "Nan Li."

The one currently controlling the body was named Jiang E Li. She came from the Blue Star World and had originally been a cheerful college student of the new century, diligently suffering through eight a.m. classes.

As a computer science student, she had spent several consecutive days rushing to finish her course project at the end of the semester. Unexpectedly, the day before turning it in, she spilled a cup of water over her laptop keyboard. After fumbling around in a panic, she did not know what she touched, but her whole body jolted as if electrified and she collapsed. When she woke up, when she woke up again, she had become a bird!

Oh, and it seemed she had also transmigrated into a book...

Transmigrating into a book would have been one thing, but she had not even ended up beside the protagonist, Tang Cheat King. Not ending up beside Cheat King would have been one thing, but she was not even human...

Was there any justice in this world?!

At that moment, a song kept playing in Nan Li's mind: "Some have fallen, some have gone mad..." Some had turned into a Soul Beast!

"Hey, aren't you going to find Xiao Wu?"

Another voice rang out in her mind. It belonged to the body's original owner, the real Vermilion Bird Nanli.

She had entered this body when Nan Li underwent Humanoid Form. Although the two had tried more than once to separate, neither soul could leave the body. They could only remain together in a state of coexistence.

For certain reasons, Nan Li's soul had been damaged. Before she had fully recovered, she rushed to undergo Humanoid Form. Unsurprisingly, something went wrong...

Nan Li had originally been a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast from the Flame Feather Sparrow Clan on Sun Island. But her bloodline had reverted to its ancestors, giving her the might of a Vermilion Bird. From the day she was born, she cultivated in the clan's Holy Land. Her bloodline gradually became purer, and after tens of thousands of years, she completely became a Vermilion Bird!

However, Nan Li's soul had been damaged in a great battle with Spirit Hall, so this body was now mainly controlled by Jiang E Li.

Having read the Original Work, she naturally knew that Xiao Wu was also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Xiao Wu in the Original Work seemed somewhat willful, but Jiang E Li had paid more attention to the animation. She could not say that she liked Xiao Wu, but she did not dislike her either.

What was more, Xiao Wu and Nan Li were both Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts who had taken Humanoid Form. Perhaps she could save Xiao Wu and change her fate of sacrifice, preserving some fighting strength for the future battle against Spirit Hall.

With that thought, she pushed herself off from the windowsill, and at the instant she leaped out the window, she used Martial Soul Possession.

Red wings spread wide, their feathers seeming to burn with flames. As she flew, the air currents trailing behind her tail feathers resembled a string of red flames lingering in the sky. This was also the origin of the Flame Feather Sparrow's name.

Because Nan Li's soul was damaged, she could not fully exert her strength. To avoid unnecessary trouble, the two decided to claim to the outside world that her Martial Soul was the Flame Feather Vermilion Bird.

A course project was course design. The inspiration for the transmigration came from the unfortunate senior student mentioned by the teacher...
