Martial Soul Academy

"Looks like I still can't rush things." Bibi Dong rubbed her temples, looking increasingly weary.

After devouring Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong had begun the Rakshasa God's trials. Over the years, they had constantly eroded her mind, which was why she kept ending up like this.

Especially after seeing Lin Yu, it wasn't just her body that craved to devour him. The Rakshasa God she had inherited also tried to tempt her in her mind.

This only made the already exhausted Bibi Dong feel even more worn out.

"Yue Guan!" Once Lin Yu had left, Bibi Dong called for Yue Guan.

"Your Holiness, what are your orders?" Yue Guan stood respectfully before Bibi Dong.

"Tomorrow, take Lin Yu to the Martial Soul Academy and have him study the relevant subjects. But he doesn't need to live at the academy.

"He only needs to study there. I'll personally teach him how to cultivate." After giving Yue Guan his instructions, Bibi Dong waved him away.

When Lin Yu wasn't around, Bibi Dong was always cool and imposing toward everyone except Hu Liena.

"Yes, Your Holiness. I'll make the arrangements right away." Yue Guan left without delay to arrange Lin Yu's enrollment.

"Why do I get the feeling Bibi Dong treats me differently from everyone else?" Back in his room, Lin Yu rubbed his chin and pondered.

"If that's true, then I can use her special treatment of me to get things done.

"Having a powerful backer really makes life easier." Thinking of the way Bibi Dong treated him, Lin Yu's eyes quickly lit up.

With Bibi Dong's support, he would snatch every opportunity that belonged to Tang San, leaving him not a single scrap.

As for that hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit, now wasn't the time to make a move.

After all, that rabbit had originally been in Star Dou Forest. She'd actually gone all the way to Notting City to attend school. Lin Yu couldn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.

Besides, plenty of things on Douluo Continent made no sense.

If this were just a novel, there'd be no need to pay attention to any of those inconsistencies. But once the novel became a world of its own, those inconsistencies could be explained.

Take Tang Hao. Even when he was only an eighty-ninth-level Soul Douluo, he'd managed to withstand attacks from Qian Xunji, a Level 95 Titled Douluo, despite several other Titled Douluo accompanying him. And Tang Hao himself had a God-level Martial Soul.

There were only two God-level Martial Souls on Douluo Continent: the Angel Martial Soul of Spirit Hall and the Sea God Martial Soul of Sea God Island.

Both had been bestowed by powerful gods. Even though Qian Xunji's ninth Soul Ring was only a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Tang Hao, who hadn't yet reached Titled Douluo, still couldn't compare to him.

Then, after Tang Hao's wife, Ah Yin, sacrificed herself, Tang Hao had not only grievously wounded Qian Xunji but also killed one of the Titled Douluo accompanying him. Lin Yu wouldn't believe it if no one had been pulling strings behind the scenes.

And with the Tang family's three generations all tangled up with Asura, it wasn't hard to guess who was behind it.

Lin Yu had another theory, too. Of the Five Great God Kings in the Divine Realm, all except Asura had partners: Destruction and Life, Evil and Goodness. It made no sense that Asura was the only one living alone.

If Asura and Rakshasa were a couple, then a lot more made sense. After all, how could a God King not notice what a First-Class God was doing in his inheritance grounds?

It was entirely possible that the Tang family, Spirit Hall, and three generations of the family were all just part of their little game.

"Since I can't deal with those people with powerful backers yet, does that mean I can't deal with anyone else?" Lin Yu's lips curled into a smile.

"Heh heh heh. I'll find a chance to uproot Shrek Academy first. It seems Zhao Wuji isn't the only one there wanted by Spirit Hall!

"And there's Zhu Zhuqing, that stunning little cat, and Oscar, the support-type Holy Son. They're all valuable talents." Lin Yu licked his lips, looking every bit like a villain to anyone watching.

"But I shouldn't be thinking about that now. My own situation isn't exactly great.

"I have to worry constantly that Bibi Dong will give in to her instincts and devour me, and I've also picked a fight with Qian Daoliu over the Holy Son position." Lin Yu felt like crying.

"Xiao Yu, are you up?" Early in the morning, Yue Guan's voice rang out from outside Lin Yu's door.

"Uncle, what do you want so early?" Lin Yu opened the door and saw Yue Guan, along with Hu Liena peeking out from behind him, gazing at Lin Yu curiously.

Hu Liena had been curious about Lin Yu since the day before, but she hadn't had a chance to ask him anything all day. When she heard he was enrolling at the Martial Soul Academy today, she tagged along, hoping to have a chat with him.

"Come with me first. We'll be late if we wait any longer. I'll explain on the way." With that, Yue Guan took Lin Yu by the arm and led him out without waiting for an answer.

"Her Holiness wants you to study Martial Soul-related subjects at the Martial Soul Academy, but she'll teach you how to cultivate herself.

"So, for the next few years, you won't have to live at the academy full-time. You'll be going back and forth between the academy and Spirit Hall every day. Aren't you happy?" Yue Guan looked at Lin Yu with schadenfreude.

Lin Yu wasn't the least bit happy when he heard that. Instead, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Bibi Dong doesn't want me out of her sight at all. Is she worried I'll run away? Lin Yu looked like he was about to cry.

Even so, Lin Yu had no way to resist.

"Hello, junior brother. I'm Hu Liena, your senior sister." As they walked, Hu Liena kept her eyes fixed on Lin Yu.

She was extremely curious about him. After all, she knew what Bibi Dong was like. Bibi Dong hated men.

"Hello. I'm Lin Yu, the new disciple your teacher just took in." Lin Yu held out his right hand to Hu Liena.

Hu Liena froze for a moment, then took the hand he offered, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the Martial Soul Academy.

"Let me introduce you. This is Bai Feng, the headmaster of the Martial Soul Academy, an eighty-seventh-level Soul Douluo." Yue Guan first introduced the academy's headmaster, Bai Feng, to Lin Yu, then prepared to introduce Lin Yu.

But Bai Feng shook his head.

"No need for introductions. You're Lin Yu, Her Holiness the Pope's second disciple, right?" Bai Feng looked at Lin Yu beside Yue Guan with a broad smile.

"That's right. Her Holiness hopes Lin Yu will study the relevant subjects at the Martial Soul Academy. But he'll need to return to Spirit Hall every day, and Her Holiness will personally teach him how to cultivate." Yue Guan explained the arrangements to Bai Feng.

"Don't worry. I'll look after Lin Yu at the academy," Bai Feng assured Yue Guan.

After all, Lin Yu possessed a top-tier spider-type Martial Soul similar to Her Holiness the Pope's, and he had Innate Full Soul Power. His talent was among the very best.

"No, no need to give him any special treatment. Let him manage on his own." Yue Guan waved a hand. A genius who grew through relying on others was nothing like one who made his own way.
