"Ha ha, young friend, you truly possess remarkable abilities. This is the first time I've ever seen a martial soul like this." Director Su smiled as he spoke after Cao Yan drew his martial soul back into his body.

He was becoming increasingly satisfied with Cao Yan's performance. Setting everything else aside, this martial soul alone—one he had never encountered before—had already overturned his understanding.

Only descendants of Hidden Families could possibly possess a martial soul like this.

"Director, you should arrange my enrollment first. As for this junior's background, I hope you'll keep it confidential." Seeing that Director Su was about to flatter him again, Cao Yan quickly reminded him.

He had never been someone who liked to show off. He knew that one had to remain low-key and tactful.

Showing off had always been something weak people did. True powerhouses could not be bothered with it.

And he, Cao Yan, was exactly that kind of person.

"Very well. Rest assured, young friend. I will keep my lips sealed." Director Su patted his chest, his expression resolute.

He knew that disciples of Hidden Families disliked trouble. If the forces of the Soul Master world learned of this, it would likely cause a huge uproar.

When that happened, people from all the major sects might come knocking to snatch him away. Director Su was no fool; naturally, he knew how to act.

"Ha ha, young friend, I still need to collect some of your information so I can arrange your accommodation." As he spoke, Director Su took a form from the desk to register the student's gender and other details.

After a brief exchange, Director Su completed Cao Yan's enrollment.

"Since you have come to study at Nuoding Academy, it is truly the academy's honor. Please do not disdain these humble gifts." Director Su handed Cao Yan a white ring and a bulging pouch, smiling warmly.

"Director, what is this?" Cao Yan was slightly taken aback as he looked at the items in Director Su's hands.

"Ha ha, they are nothing precious—just a Storage Ring and some Gold Soul Coins. Please accept them, young friend." Director Su smiled. Without wasting words, he directly stuffed the items into Cao Yan's hands.

After all, the other party had an impressive background. As the academy's director, how could he possibly neglect him?

"Director, you are too kind. This junior gratefully accepts." Cao Yan accepted the gifts and bowed in return, displaying refined bearing.

Having just arrived, he naturally did not possess something as rare as a Soul Tool. Now that one was readily available, it could not have been better.

After putting the ring on, Cao Yan nodded in satisfaction and smiled faintly. His favorable impression of Director Su deepened somewhat.

Someone like Director Su truly understood how to conduct himself. Cao Yan rather admired him for that alone.

Seeing Cao Yan accept the gifts, Director Su finally let out a sigh of relief. He had been worried about what he would do if Cao Yan refused them.

After all, disciples from great families had never lacked money.

Still, whether the other party wanted them or not, basic courtesy could not be neglected. As director, he understood that well.

"Ha ha, this is the academy uniform prepared for you. The academy provides it free of charge." Director Su spoke as he took out a brand-new uniform, his gaze sincere and entirely free of arrogance.

In his eyes, Cao Yan already counted as a powerhouse, so he did not think there was anything improper about such courtesy.

When facing a powerhouse, one had to know one's place.

"Young friend, First Dorm is the best dormitory in our academy. Its surroundings are beautiful, making it most suitable for someone like you." After handing the uniform to Cao Yan, Director Su explained.

"Second Dorm is paradise for all the male students in the academy. All the pretty girls in the academy are gathered there. If you would like to go, I can pull some strings for you." The young teacher beside him also spoke, wearing an expression every man understood.

"Third Dorm is where all the academy's most extravagant students live. I imagine you probably would not choose to go there either." Another teacher gave a wry smile, but still mentioned it.

Once they finished speaking, they all looked at Cao Yan expectantly, waiting for his answer.

At that, a glint flashed through Cao Yan's eyes.

Hmm?

Second Dorm seemed pretty good. There would be beautiful girls to look at, and they could even sleep together.

But...

"Thank you for your kindness, teachers, but I think I'll go to Seventh Dorm." Cao Yan shook his head and answered without the slightest hesitation.

Second Dorm was certainly good, but Cao Yan was by no means some lecherous man. He would never betray his original intentions for the sake of women.

After all, Xiao Wu was in Seventh Dorm!

That was true beauty!

Wasn't stealing Tang San's wife far more appealing?

Heh heh.

"Young friend, can you tell me why you chose Seventh Dorm?" Director Su was startled by Cao Yan's choice.

They had just explained everything clearly. Anyone with a bit of sense would decisively choose Second Dorm.

After all, it was the academy's only girls' dormitory, a paradise countless students dreamed of.

Yet Cao Yan's answer had exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Seventh Dorm is the worst dormitory. Its environment is terrible, and most of the students there are slackers. I'm afraid it would not suit someone of your status," the young teacher reminded him from the side.

They did not want such a promising talent to end up in that chaotic dormitory.

"Teachers, this junior is someone who can endure hardship. I believe only the worst environment can ignite my passion and fill me with fighting spirit."

"Good! I never expected that, at such a young age, you would already possess such a clear understanding of righteousness. Your words truly put this old man to shame!" Director Su exclaimed, clapping in admiration.

The other two teachers were also filled with shock, and their opinion of Cao Yan rose even higher.

This boy would surely achieve great things in the future!

"This junior will take his leave first. Please carry on with your work, teachers." Cao Yan walked out of the administrative office expressionlessly, his face calm.

However, before he had gone far, Cao Yan heard sounds of praise coming from inside.

"We must keep today's matter buried. No one is allowed to spread it. We cannot let another academy snatch away such a genius."

"Mm, naturally. Though this boy is young, he is neither arrogant nor impetuous. It seems Nuoding Academy may produce a true dragon in the future."

"Director Su, this is all thanks to you. If not for you, we would never have met such a peerless genius."

"Ha ha, you flatter me. It is everyone's contribution. When the principal returns, we can all claim credit together." Director Su merely smiled and stroked his beard.

"This boy even has the Innate Full Soul Power that only exists in legends. It seems we need to help him obtain a soul ring."

"Not so, not so. Hidden Families have always been mysterious, and obtaining a soul ring is a major matter that cannot be handled carelessly. We should not concern ourselves with it."

"That is true. We must keep an especially close eye on this boy. I'm afraid that, given Grandmaster's usual ways, he may still go bother him and forcibly take him as a disciple," Director Su said worriedly.

"He wouldn't dare. If he has the nerve, I'll be the first to cripple him."

"Exactly. What could anyone possibly learn from his trash theories?"

"That's right. People like Grandmaster are just like that Blue Silver Grass Soul Master I saw at the entrance. They can only be useless trash for the rest of their lives."

"Director, the person you mentioned is?"

"Ha ha, just a swindler. These days, even Spirit Hall certificates can be forged. We need to be more vigilant in the future."

Hearing their conversation, Cao Yan's steps paused only slightly before he continued walking outside.

Tang San and Grandmaster probably would not come looking for trouble with him anytime soon. That would save Cao Yan a great deal of worry.

Tang San had been injured by him, so it was impossible for him to reach Seventh Dorm before Cao Yan. With that, winning Xiao Wu over would be completely effortless.

Heh heh.

Tang San.

Brother will sleep with your woman for you!
