Probing Exam (Seeking Subscriptions)

Seeing Lu Fan arrive, Yue Guan smiled and asked, "How are you feeling?"

Lu Fan did not know if Yue Guan was asking about how he was getting along with Hu Liena and the others, or about yesterday's medicinal bath, so he simply replied, "I feel quite good, thank you, Teacher."

Yue Guan nodded. "Let's eat while we talk."

Yue Guan gestured for Lu Fan to eat while listening to him.

Lu Fan obediently followed suit and sat down opposite Yue Guan.

"Do you know about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul?"

Yue Guan suddenly asked.

Lu Fan was confused, but he still nodded.

"I've heard of it. It is the inherited Martial Soul of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects, and it belongs to the top-tier Beast Martial Souls."

Yue Guan nodded. "Correct. Then do you know what characteristics this Martial Soul has?"

"This..."

Lu Fan scratched his head.

He did not possess this Martial Soul, nor did he know anyone who did, so he truly hadn't looked into it much.

However, if there were specific characteristics to this Martial Soul, it was likely something many people knew, otherwise Yue Guan wouldn't have asked him.

Lu Fan thought for a moment and replied, "Is it Dragon Transformation? I heard that those who possess this Martial Soul can gain the ability to undergo Dragon Transformation after breaking through to become a Soul Elder."

Yue Guan nodded. "Correct, that is it."

"Both are top-tier Martial Souls; the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon has a special ability, and our Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum has one as well."

"Is it Indestructible Diamond Body?"

Lu Fan seemed to understand what Yue Guan was about to say.

Yue Guan nodded again. "That is it."

He didn't care that Gui Mei was also nearby and said directly, "We Immortal Herb Soul Masters can obtain the abilities that usually require consuming an Immortal Herb once we break through to become a Soul Saint and obtain our Martial Soul Avatar."

"Therefore, as long as you break through to become a Soul Saint, you will inevitably obtain Indestructible Diamond Body."

"Then Teacher, why are you preparing medicinal baths and such for me in advance?"

Lu Fan was puzzled.

Since it was an ability that could only be obtained after breaking through to become a Soul Saint, why prepare it for him now?

Yue Guan laughed upon hearing this. "No one has ever said this is a certainty. After all, besides myself, you are the only other person I know of with an Immortal Herb Martial Soul."

"I only assume this because that is how it is for me, but your cultivation method is different from mine. This situation might happen earlier for you, or perhaps later; there is no telling."

Lu Fan nodded. "I see, I understand, Teacher."

Yue Guan nodded. "I am telling you this today to guide your future Martial Soul cultivation direction, which is to cultivate the Indestructible Diamond Body. Another thing is that I will be going out for a period of time, half a month at the shortest, or perhaps longer. During this time, you should cultivate well with Nana and the other two, and don't forget the medicinal bath every night."

"This medicinal bath is also a way for you to catch up with the three of them more quickly."

Lu Fan felt a bit happy upon hearing this.

These words clearly implied that this medicinal bath was something only he had, or at least, this specific type of bath that was so helpful for cultivation was unique to him.

Even if others had them, at most they were the kind children soaked in, which could help cleanse the marrow and strengthen the body to a certain extent.

But those didn't provide much help for cultivation or the improvement of soul power.

Lu Fan felt a warmth in his heart.

He felt the special treatment, which made the gratitude he felt toward Yue Guan grow even stronger.

Teacher's kindness is impossible to repay.

Lu Fan secretly swore in his heart.

I must help Teacher escape that tragic ending from the original story!

On the surface, however, Lu Fan thanked Yue Guan, "Thank you, Teacher. I will certainly not let down your cultivation, and I will definitely break through to become a Soul Elder by the end of the year!"

Yue Guan nodded with a smile. "It is good to have drive, but remember that cultivation requires a balance of work and rest; don't harm your own body."

"This disciple understands."

"The servants told me you wanted an extra bowl of Whale Rubber at night?"

Yue Guan looked at Lu Fan with an ambiguous smile.

Lu Fan scratched his head in embarrassment. "Just a small hobby."

Yue Guan expressed his understanding: "Teacher respects your personal interests, but you are still young and need to understand moderation, do you know?"

Although Yue Guan knew that Lu Fan had never touched a woman, He felt that there was a high probability that Lu Fan was handling his own business in private.

"It is time to go."

Seeing that Lu Fan opposite him had also finished eating and Yue Guan seemed to have nothing left to say, Gui Mei, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke.

Yue Guan nodded: "Let's go."

Lu Fan, standing to the side, also stood up to follow.

However, he was not intending to follow Yue Guan and Gui Mei, but rather heading to Martial Soul Academy for his studies.

Upon arriving at Martial Soul Academy, Lu Fan saw a student at the entrance being stopped for not wearing a school uniform.

Seeing this, Lu Fan paid no attention and walked straight inside.

The boy who had been stopped pointed and said: "He isn't wearing a school uniform either!"

The teacher who stopped him didn't even look at Lu Fan: "Why do you care about others? I don't know you; if you aren't wearing a uniform, how am I supposed to know if you're a student at our school?"

"Then do you know him?"

The student continued to point at Lu Fan.

Being mentioned repeatedly, Lu Fan walked over toward them: "Is something the matter?"

The teacher was instantly covered in cold sweat upon hearing this: "No, nothing at all. This is just an irrelevant person trying to trespass, leave it to me to handle."

Lu Fan nodded and left.

Seeing Lu Fan walk away, The teacher slapped the boy on the head: "You idiot, that is the disciple of Chrysanthemum Douluo. It's his first day at school, why do you keep pointing at him?"

The boy's face turned pale with terror upon hearing this: "He is the disciple of Chrysanthemum Douluo!"

The small episode at the school gate did not affect Lu Fan.

Lu Fan arrived at a very large classroom.

This classroom was half the size of a football field.

At this moment, Hu Liena and the others had already arrived.

There was also a teacher present.

Lu Fan had some impression of him.

He had seen him yesterday;

He was a member of the education committee.

Seeing Lu Fan, Xie Yue and Yan only nodded, While Hu Liena waved her hand: "Morning, little brother Lu Fan."

Lu Fan nodded: "Morning."

Seeing that all four had arrived, the committee member spoke: "Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, you three continue with yesterday's training."

Then, the committee member looked at Lu Fan: "Lu Fan, today is your first day at the academy. I am not very clear about your foundation, so you don't need to train with them today. Come and take a placement test."

Lu Fan nodded: "Alright."

The committee member beckoned, and a soul master who looked to be the same age as Hu Liena and the others walked over.

"Lu Fan, this is Li Ming. His soul power is about the same as yours. You two have a spar so I can see your foundation."

Lu Fan nodded in agreement.

The others nearby stepped back to clear a large space for the two of them.

Lu Fan and Li Ming stood facing each other.

Li Ming, opposite him, was the first to summon his martial soul.

"Li Ming, level 25 Power Attack System Soul Grand Master, martial soul Bright Silver Spear."

A snow-white long spear appeared in Li Ming's hand.

Two yellow, optimal-age soul rings appeared beneath his feet.

Lu Fan also summoned his martial soul.

"Lu Fan, level 27 Battle Soul Master, martial soul Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."
