"That was about it. You can call me Senior Sister from now on."

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Tang Wulin was sincerely grateful to the pretty senior sister. Her words had greatly eased his nervousness about arriving in a big city for the first time.

Liu Yuxin looked over their academy recommendation letters, stamped them, returned them, and then handed Tang Wulin two small metal tags.

"You should wear these metal tags around your necks. They're your passes for entering and leaving the academy before enrollment. Once you arrive, you'll still need to register and collect your supplies. Board the Soul Guidance Bus behind you. Once there are a few more people, it'll take you to the academy."

Gu Chen reached out and took the metal tags. After thanking Liu Yuxin, he turned and left.

"Chen Ge's personality won't change. Please don't mind him, Senior Sister."

Tang Wulin gave Liu Yuxin an apologetic smile. Seeing that she truly did not mind, he hoisted his luggage onto his back, followed Gu Chen, and headed for the bus.

A senior male student from Eastsea Academy beside Liu Yuxin curled his lip. "Yuxin, why did you say so much to those two country bumpkins? Especially that one dressed so poorly. Carrying such a huge bag, and his Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass. That's a trash Martial Soul. Not every Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul wielder is like our senior, whose Martial Soul has a trace of Blue Silver King bloodline."

Liu Yuxin glared at him. "You're not allowed to discriminate against junior students. He cultivated Blue Silver Grass to the Soul Master level at nine years old. How do you know there isn't king bloodline in his Blue Silver Grass? Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—never look down on a poor young man. Haven't you heard that saying? Maybe this handsome little junior of ours will become one of heaven's favored sons in the future."

Tang Wulin did not hear this conversation. Otherwise, his favorable impression of his senior sister would have risen another level. (All that could be said was that Tang Wulin had a proper outlook at this point. He was genuinely innocent, and also at his easiest to fool!)

Eastsea Academy's bus was very spacious, enough to hold fifty people. There were already some people aboard, including children his age and adults.

After several more people boarded, the bus set off.

The moment Gu Chen boarded the bus, he found a window seat in the back row.

As the saying went: back row by the window, the king's homeland!

Gu Chen covered his face with a book and immediately drifted into dreamland.

About twenty minutes passed.

"We've arrived at the academy. Please get off the bus, everyone."

A familiar voice came from the front. Only then did Tang Wulin see that Senior Sister Liu Yuxin was seated at the very front. She stood and called out to the students who had come to register, along with their parents.

Tang Wulin hurriedly patted Gu Chen, grabbed his bag, and got off the bus. When he reached the front, Liu Yuxin immediately recognized the junior student who had left such a deep impression on her. Even her impression of Gu Chen improved somewhat. "Tang Wulin and Gu Chen, right? Follow me in a moment!"

As they entered the academy, they found it shaded by lush trees. Just inside was a broad road stretching sideways in both directions, while the road straight ahead was paved with bluestone slabs, giving it a distinctly ancient feel.

Liu Yuxin smiled. "For everyone's safety, vehicles aren't allowed to travel inside the academy. Therefore, once vehicles enter the academy, they immediately split off to either side and enter the underground parking lot. Our Advanced Academy Department is on the west side, while everything else belongs to your Intermediate Academy Department."

With this senior sister's introduction, Tang Wulin quickly gained a basic understanding of the academy.

The Intermediate Academy's main Teaching Building stood on the eastern side of the academy. It was a twelve-story building. Higher grades occupied higher floors. After enrolling, Tang Wulin would become a first-year student and would only be assigned a classroom on the first or second floor.

"That's the Academic Affairs Office. Go register there. Your middle academy dormitory building is behind the Teaching Building. If anything comes up in the future, you can come find me in the advanced academy section. I'm in First Grade Class One there."

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Seeing the little boy thank her for who knew how many times, Liu Yuxin burst out laughing. "Don't be so reserved. The atmosphere at our academy is very good. You have to work hard too. After enrollment, you'll first be assigned to classes, then there'll be the entrance assessment. Outstanding assessment results come with plenty of benefits."

After Liu Yuxin left, Gu Chen and Tang Wulin briefly parted ways. Gu Chen was indeed feeling a little sleepy and planned to wash his face with cold water in the restroom.

Tang Wulin and Gu Chen's dormitory was on the second floor, room 205.

Filled with hope, Tang Wulin headed toward the dormitory.

Two free school uniforms, a dormitory key, and study materials that would be distributed once formal classes began.

He had been assigned to Grade One Class Five.

From this moment onward, he was a new first-year student in Eastsea Academy's Intermediate Academy Department.

Tang Wulin carried his luggage on his back, went around the Teaching Building, and arrived at the dormitory building behind it. The dormitory building was about as tall and imposing as the Teaching Building, also twelve stories high.

The corridors were noisy and chaotic. These days were for registration and enrollment, and there were not only students here, but also parents who had come to see their children off. Everything seemed somewhat disorderly.

Tang Wulin finally found his dormitory. The door was open, and someone was already inside.

There were two bunk beds in the room, enough for four people. There were two rectangular tables, four chairs, two cabinets, and a ceiling light.

That was everything in the student dormitory.

One of the lower bunks was already occupied. When Tang Wulin entered, the occupant's gaze shifted toward him.

The student on the lower bunk to the left was even taller than Tang Wulin, by a full half-head, and much sturdier as well. He had short hair and slightly bulging eyes. Though he was young, he already carried a faintly fierce air.

Because Gu Chen and Tang Wulin were fellow villagers, Yun Xiao, who should have appeared in the original story, had been transferred directly to another dormitory.

"Hello, my name is Tang Wulin. I'm new here. Please take care of me in the future." Tang Wulin looked at the bunk beds on both sides as he spoke, then placed his luggage on the upper bunk to the left.

Faced with Tang Wulin's friendly smile, the tall student on the other side rolled his eyes. "New guy, clean the room first."

Tang Wulin had just arrived and did not really understand the situation. Hearing that, he nodded and answered, "Oh."

There was a broom in the corner, while a washbasin and rag sat on the table. He picked up the washbasin and went out to fetch water.

It was fortunate that it was Tang Wulin. If Gu Chen had been here, he probably would not have given him the time of day.

If he dared to make a move, one slap would teach him a lesson!

"Let me see what he has in his bag."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the luggage Tang Wulin had placed on the upper bunk above him.

He unzipped the cloth bag and gave it a hard shake. Immediately, plain clothes and some daily necessities spilled out.

Zhou Changxi looked at the pile of things on the floor and laughed. "What the hell is all this? Don't tell me this guy used to be a beggar. There's even a crooked little flower sewn onto his backpack. What a joke."

"What are you doing!"
