Back in his dorm room, Lin Fan began to review what he had gained during this time.
A virtual screen appeared before Lin Fan. At the very bottom, it displayed his emotion points: 651275.
More than six hundred thousand emotion points! In less than two hours, he had earned around six hundred thousand!
This was practically printing money!
If this many people provided him with emotion points every day, he wouldn't even need ten days or half a month to buy a Stardust Magic Tool to help him cultivate!
The Stardust Magic Tool was an auxiliary cultivation treasure from the Versatile Mage World. It could improve both the duration and speed of a cultivator's training.
In Douluo Continent, Lin Fan naturally didn't need to improve his training duration. What he needed was to improve his training speed.
The cheapest item that could improve training speed cost three million emotion points!
But Lin Fan was now confident he could gather that enormous amount in three or four days!
Sitting cross-legged, Lin Fan began controlling the Star Seeds once more.
After some time, Lin Fan heard his stomach grumble. He opened his eyes and rubbed his hungry belly. "It's about time to go have lunch."
As he spoke, he got up and went outside. He knocked on the door of Bibi Dong's dorm room. "Junior Sister, your senior brother is taking you to lunch."
At the door, Bibi Dong had already changed into her Martial Soul Academy uniform. Her pinkish-purple hair was loosely tied behind her head with a gold-and-purple ribbon.
She wore a short, snow-white robe edged in gold and a pleated skirt that reached her knees. Its hem swayed gently as she moved. Her clear purple eyes and the golden angel-sword emblem on her chest made her look both obedient and noble, like a disciple of Spirit Hall. Standing before Lin Fan, she looked all the more charming and lovely.
"Senior Brother." Seeing Lin Fan's admiring gaze, Bibi Dong couldn't help smiling. The shyness she'd shown when they first met had long since disappeared.
"You look beautiful!" Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Senior Brother, you're very handsome too." Bibi Dong blushed at the compliment and lowered her head.
"Let's go." Lin Fan took her soft little hand.
The dining hall
"Junior Sister, eat whatever you like at Martial Soul Academy. You don't need to pay for meals here," Lin Fan said.
"Senior Brother, the academy takes care of everything. Why is that?" Bibi Dong asked.
Since arriving at Martial Soul Academy, she hadn't spent a single coin—not even one Copper Soul Coin.
She'd heard that studying at an academy in the city cost money at every turn.
"Most of the students at Martial Soul Academy are descendants of Soul Masters affiliated with Spirit Hall. They serve Spirit Hall, so how could the academy charge them?"
"And once they grow stronger, they'll join Spirit Hall too. They'll be part of Spirit Hall in the future."
"As for the few gifted students like you, who were specially recruited, the academy will spare no resources to nurture you."
"Even though the resources and money spent on this every year are enormous, it's worth it to Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong nodded, seeming to understand only half of what he'd said. Her purple eyes were full of earnestness.
"So... that's how it is."
"Then I'll cultivate hard from now on, and won't let Spirit Hall down."
Lin Fan watched her solemn, grown-up expression and couldn't help smiling. He ruffled the top of her head. "It's good that you feel that way. Take your time. With your senior brother here, I won't let anyone mistreat you."
The two of them carried their trays to a seat by the window.
The trays held a good balance of meat and vegetables, along with several medicinal dishes. They smelled delicious.
Bibi Dong couldn't help swallowing as she looked at the food. It smelled incredible!
This was the first time she'd eaten such precious food. Back in her village, having meat to eat was already considered a luxury!
But at Martial Soul Academy, meat was just the basics. Students could even get medicinal dishes to make up for nutritional deficiencies.
Bibi Dong ate like a starving wolf, devouring her food.
Perhaps she'd never tasted such delicious food that also nourished Soul Power. She completely forgot a young girl's restraint, chewing quickly with small bites, her cheeks puffed out.
Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help smiling. His eyes were full of indulgence. Instead of teasing her, he quietly pushed a few tender pieces of medicinal meat from his own tray toward her.
Noticing something, Bibi Dong looked up and saw Lin Fan watching her. Her face instantly flushed red, the blush spreading from her cheeks all the way to the tips of her ears. Even her neck turned a faint pink.
She hurriedly stopped eating and clutched the little spoon beside her. Shyly lowering her head, she trembled her long eyelashes and wished she could bury her face in her tray.
She'd eaten too quickly, and a grain of rice still clung to the corner of her mouth. With her embarrassed, flustered expression, she looked even more endearingly innocent.
"Take your time. No one's going to steal your food."
Lin Fan spoke gently, his voice laced with affection. "If you're still hungry, I'll go get you more. The academy has plenty of food."
At his words, Bibi Dong was too embarrassed to look up. Her little hand trembled as she took the handkerchief and gently wiped her mouth. In a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, she apologized, "S-Senior Brother, I'm sorry. I was so rude just now..."
She'd lived a hard life since she was little and had never known what it was like to have enough to eat. She'd lost control for a moment and was afraid her senior brother would think she was crude and ill-mannered.
"It's fine. You're still growing. If you don't get enough nutrition, you won't have the energy to cultivate," Lin Fan said with a faint smile.
"Mm... mm!" Bibi Dong nodded, as though she agreed with him.
Still, after that embarrassing moment, Bibi Dong changed the way she ate.
She held her little spoon tightly and deliberately slowed down, chewing each small bite carefully. She no longer ate with the same ravenous urgency as before.
After lunch, Lin Fan showed Bibi Dong around the academy. He took her to see the training grounds and other important places before they returned to the dorm.
Naturally, he earned a good haul of emotion points along the way!
Lin Fan's emotion points had now reached the millions!
If things kept up at this rate, he could get the lowest-grade Stardust Magic Tool in another two days!
The next day
Martial Soul Academy officially began classes.
First Class, First Grade
Lin Fan and Bibi Dong sat at the very front, listening to a middle-aged man give a lesson.
The morning was divided into theory and practical classes.
Although Lin Fan had read widely before, he still knew far too little about Soul Masters.
Even in first-grade classes, there was a lot he didn't understand.
Lin Fan was very interested in Soul Master knowledge, but Bibi Dong, sitting beside him, was already bored out of her mind.
"Yawn." Bibi Dong looked drowsy. Less than five minutes into the lesson, she could no longer sit still.
Bibi Dong looked at Lin Fan, who was listening intently beside her, and couldn't help feeling troubled.
Why was Senior Brother so attentive?
Why wasn't she interested at all? She had absolutely no interest in this kind of knowledge.
Lin Fan glanced sideways at Bibi Dong and raised an eyebrow. His junior sister wasn't paying attention to class—why was she looking at him?
After watching her for a while, Lin Fan reached a conclusion: Bibi Dong wasn't cut out for theory! The moment class started, she wanted to fall asleep. She was just like those people in his previous life who didn't like studying!
Was that why Bibi Dong had fallen for Yu Xiaogang? Was that why she'd been drawn to him?
Perhaps she'd started liking to study back then, and then met Yu Xiaogang, who wanted to make a name for himself through theory?
The more Lin Fan thought about it, the more certain he became!
But fortunately, he was here now! He would change history!
