Class, Speculation

Returning to his dormitory, Lin Fan began to review his gains from this period.

A virtual screen appeared before Lin Fan's eyes, displaying his Emotion Points at the very bottom: 651,275.

Over six hundred thousand Emotion Points! In less than two hours, he had earned around six hundred thousand points!

This was simply a violent windfall!

If he could have this many people providing him with Emotion Points every day, he wouldn't even need ten or fifteen days to afford a Stardust Magic Tool to assist his cultivation!

The Stardust Magic Tool, a cultivation-assisting treasure from the Versatile Mage World, could enhance both the duration and speed of a cultivator's training.

On the Douluo Continent, Lin Fan naturally didn't need to increase his cultivation duration, but he did need to increase his cultivation speed.

The items that provided cultivation speed required at least three million Emotion Points!

However, Lin Fan was now confident that he could collect such a massive amount of Emotion Points within three or four days!

Sitting cross-legged, Lin Fan began to control the Star Dust once again.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he heard a rumbling sound. Opening his eyes, he rubbed his hungry stomach. "It's time to go get lunch."

As he spoke, he stood up, walked out, and knocked on Bibi Dong's door. "Junior Sister, Senior Brother is taking you to lunch."

At the door, Bibi Dong had already changed into her Martial Soul Academy uniform, her long pink-purple hair loosely tied behind her head with a gold and purple ribbon.

She wore a snow-white, gold-trimmed short robe and a knee-length pleated skirt that swayed gently. Her clear purple eyes, paired with the golden Angel Sword emblem on her chest, made her look both obedient and possessed of the noble air of a Martial Soul Hall disciple. Standing before Lin Fan, she appeared even more delicate and charming.

"Senior Brother." Bibi Dong looked at Lin Fan's appreciative gaze and couldn't help but smile; she had long since lost the timidity she felt when they first met.

"You look beautiful!" Lin Fan laughed.

"Senior Brother, you are very handsome too." Complimented, Bibi Dong blushed and lowered her head.

"Let's go." Lin Fan said, taking Bibi Dong's soft little hand.

Cafeteria

"Junior Sister, when eating at the Martial Soul Academy, just eat whatever you want. You don't need money to eat here." Lin Fan said.

"Senior Brother, the Martial Soul Academy has prepared everything. Why is that?" Bibi Dong asked.

Since arriving at the Martial Soul Academy, she hadn't spent a single cent, not even a single copper soul coin.

She had heard that at academies in the city, one had to pay for everything.

"In the Martial Soul Academy, most students are descendants of soul masters affiliated with the Martial Soul Hall. Since they risk their lives for the Martial Soul Hall, how could they possibly be charged?"

"Besides, if they grow up to be strong, they will join the Martial Soul Hall and become our people in the future."

"As for the few geniuses like you who have outstanding talent and were specially recruited, the academy will spare no resources to cultivate you to the fullest."

"Even if the resources and money consumed for this every year are enormous, it is worth it to the Martial Soul Hall."

Bibi Dong nodded as if she understood, her purple eyes filled with earnestness.

"So... that's how it is."

"Then I must cultivate well in the future and not let down the expectations of the Martial Soul Hall."

Watching her solemn, little-adult expression, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile and ruffle her hair. "Having that heart is enough. Take it slow. With Senior Brother here, I won't let you suffer any grievances."

The two carried their trays and found a seat by the window.

The trays were well-balanced with meat and vegetables, along with several medicinal dishes that smelled fragrant and appetizing.

Bibi Dong looked at her tray and couldn't help but swallow; it smelled simply too good!

This was her first time eating such precious food. Back in the village, just being able to eat meat was considered quite good!

But at the Martial Soul Academy, meat was just the baseline, and one could even receive medicinal meals to improve physical nutrition.

Bibi Dong ate ravenously, like a starving wolf.

Perhaps because she had never eaten such delicious and soul-power-nourishing food before, she completely forgot the reserve of a young girl, chewing quickly with her cheeks puffed out.

Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile, his eyes filled with indulgence. Instead of teasing her, he silently pushed several pieces of tender medicinal meat from his own tray toward her.

Noticing something, Bibi Dong looked up and saw Lin Fan staring at her. Her face flushed bright red, the color spreading from her cheeks to her earlobes, and even her neck was stained a faint pink.

She hurriedly stopped, clutching her small spoon tightly, and lowered her head in shyness. Her long eyelashes fluttered uncontrollably, and she wished she could bury her face in the tray.

She had been eating too quickly, and a grain of rice was stuck to the corner of her mouth. Paired with her embarrassed and awkward expression, she looked even more adorable and naive.

"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you."

Lin Fan said gently, his tone filled with doting. "If it's not enough, I'll go get more for you. The academy has plenty of food."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong was too shy to look up. With trembling hands, she took a handkerchief, gently wiped the corner of her mouth, and apologized in a voice as soft as a mosquito's, "Se-Senior Brother, I'm sorry, I was too rude just now..."

She had lived a hard life since she was young and had never experienced such a well-fed existence. She hadn't been able to control herself for a moment and was terrified that her Senior Brother would think she was crude and ignorant of manners.

"It doesn't matter. You are at the age where you are growing; if your nutrition doesn't keep up, you won't have the energy to cultivate." Lin Fan smiled faintly.

"Mm... mm!" Bibi Dong nodded, as if agreeing with Lin Fan's words.

However, after this awkward incident, Bibi Dong changed the way she ate.

She gripped the small spoon tightly, deliberately slowing her movements, chewing and swallowing each tiny bite with care, no longer displaying the ravenous urgency from moments before.

After finishing the meal, Lin Fan took Bibi Dong for a stroll around Martial Soul Academy, showing her important locations like the cultivation grounds before finally returning to their dormitory.

During this time, he naturally raked in a solid wave of emotional points!

At this moment, Lin Fan's emotional points had already reached the million mark!

At this rate, in another two days, he would be able to secure the lowest-tier Stardust Magic Tool!

The next day.

Martial Soul Academy officially began classes.

Grade One, Class One.

Lin Fan and Bibi Dong sat in the front row, listening to a middle-aged man lecture.

The morning was divided into theory and practical combat classes.

Although Lin Fan had read extensively in the past, his understanding of soul master knowledge was still far too limited.

Even in the first-grade curriculum, there was much he did not understand.

Lin Fan was very interested in soul master knowledge, but Bibi Dong, sitting beside him, was already bored to tears.

"Haa." Bibi Dong looked drowsy; not even five minutes into the lecture, she could no longer suppress her restlessness.

Bibi Dong looked at the focused Lin Fan beside her, feeling a sense of distress in her heart.

Why was her senior brother so serious?

And why did she have no interest at all, feeling completely indifferent toward this knowledge?

Lin Fan turned his head to glance at Bibi Dong and raised an eyebrow; why wasn't his junior sister studying properly, and why was she staring at him?

After observing her for a few more moments, Lin Fan reached a conclusion: Bibi Dong was not cut out for theory! She wanted to sleep the moment she started listening to a lecture, just like those people from his past life who disliked studying!

Could it be that this was the reason Bibi Dong took a fancy to Yu Xiaogang, why she fell for him?

Perhaps it was at that time that Bibi Dong grew to like studying, and then she happened to meet Yu Xiaogang, a man who wanted to make a name for himself through theory?

The more he thought about it, the more certain Lin Fan became!

But fortunately, he had arrived! History would be changed by him!
