Successfully Owes a Contract of Indenture

Qin Ming?

Wang Dong'er's gaze fell upon the man. If she remembered correctly, Qin Ming was the most outstanding disciple of Shrek Academy and the youngest Spirit Emperor in the entire Douluo Continent.

He was currently serving as the team leader for the Imperial Fighting Team at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and was being carefully groomed by the academy's education committee as their future successor.

Qin Ming looked at Wang Dong'er and asked, "Young lady, do you have a spirit awakening certificate issued by Spirit Hall? If not, you can also release your spirit for me to see."

Wang Dong'er had come prepared; she took out her spirit awakening certificate and handed it over.

Qin Ming scanned the personal information briefly before his eyes landed on the sections for her spirit and innate spirit power.

Radiant Goddess Butterfly spirit?

Innate full spirit power!?

Although he had never heard of a spirit called the Radiant Goddess Butterfly, the talent of innate full spirit power alone was enough to prove its strength.

It was a well-known theory in the spirit master world that a spirit master's innate spirit power was directly proportional to the strength of their spirit.

Innate full spirit power represented the highest level of cultivation talent. Looking across the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy, not a single student could compare to the young girl before him.

He had truly struck gold this time.

"Miss Wang Dong'er, please follow me."

Since it was the holiday season, there were only a few dozen staff members in the academy, responsible for cleaning and maintaining the statues of the education committee members.

The Royal Academy occupied a massive area; there were five teaching buildings alone, and the area of the spirit fighting training platform was larger than half of Notting Academy.

The simulated cultivation grounds were even more impressive in scale, covering almost every environment required by various types of spirit masters.

Led by Qin Ming, Wang Dong'er finally arrived outside the office of the academy's education committee.

Qin Ming stepped forward and knocked gently on the door.

As soon as the dull knocking sound faded, a hoarse and weathered voice drifted from inside the office: "Please, enter."

As the words fell, the tightly shut door was slowly pushed open from the inside by an invisible force.

"Come in with me," Qin Ming said to Wang Dong'er.

Wang Dong'er nodded and followed Qin Ming into the office. Raising her eyes, she saw an elderly man in black robes with white hair and a white beard sitting at the head of the desk, his head lowered as he reviewed documents. His aura was restrained and his breathing steady; just sitting there, he gave the impression of being a true powerhouse.

The old man set aside his work, took off his glasses, and looked at Qin Ming: "Qin Ming, is there something you need?"

Then, his gaze fell upon Wang Dong'er: "And who is this young lady?"

"Committee Member Meng Shenji, let me introduce you first." Qin Ming turned slightly, allowing Wang Dong'er to come fully into Meng Shenji's line of sight. "This young lady is named Wang Dong'er, and she is here to enroll in the Royal Academy."

He then turned to Wang Dong'er: "Wang Dong'er, this is the Chief Committee Member of the Royal Academy, the level 87 Spirit Douluo, Senior Meng Shenji."

"Greetings, Senior." Wang Dong'er bowed respectfully.

"Hmm." Meng Shenji acknowledged her, then looked puzzled. "This is not the academy's enrollment period. Could it be that this young lady's strength meets the requirements, or is there something exceptional about her, or perhaps... she has some connections?"

He was more inclined to believe Wang Dong'er had pulled some strings; after all, the girl didn't look like an ordinary noble lady, but rather more like a princess from some kingdom.

Qin Ming smiled and shook his head, saying nothing more, simply handing over Wang Dong'er's spirit awakening certificate.

Meng Shenji took it and scanned it, then with a "slap," he slammed his hand onto the desk and stood up abruptly.

His eyes widened until they were round, and he gripped the certificate so hard it wrinkled.

"In-innate full spirit power!?"

"Is this certificate real or fake? If it truly is innate full spirit power, this young girl should have been taken away by people from Spirit Hall immediately after her spirit awakened."

Meng Shenji examined the certificate back and forth, muttering to himself: "The paper is fine, the texture is correct, the official seal of Spirit Hall is also genuine... Hiss—"

He drew a sharp breath, his brows furrowed tightly as he looked up at Wang Dong'er: "Young lady, I am not questioning your talent, but I would like to ask, after your spirit awakened, why did the people from Spirit Hall not take you back to Spirit Hall?"

Qin Ming also looked at her with curiosity.

After all, one of the most important reasons why Spirit Hall provided free spirit awakenings for commoners was to discover promising talent at the earliest opportunity and bring them back to the Hall for training.

"Committee Member Meng Shenji, I am an orphan. On the day my spirit awakened at the age of six, the orphanage was attacked by wolf bandits, and I was the only one who managed to escape alive. Everyone at the orphanage, including the uncle from Spirit Hall who came to help us awaken our spirits, all died at the hands of the wolf bandits..."

Wang Dong'er sighed softly, a sense of sorrow welling up in her heart.

"This... so that is how it is."

Both Meng Shenji and Qin Ming wore expressions of sympathy, though such events happened far too often on the Douluo Continent for them to offer verbal comfort. The most urgent matter now was to complete the enrollment procedures immediately—they could not let such a genius slip away.

"Can you release your spirit and let me see it?" Meng Shenji asked, then added candidly, "I don't mean to make you laugh, young lady, but in all my years, this is the first time I have heard of a spirit called the 'Radiant Goddess Butterfly'."

Wang Dong'er nodded and slowly extended her right hand. With a thought, pink-blue spirit power drifted from her fingertips like a thin mist, condensing into countless tiny particles of light in the air.

These light particles first drifted aimlessly, then, as if a hundred rivers returning to the sea, they converged toward her palm, gradually outlining the silhouette of a pair of translucent butterfly wings.

As the light slowly dissipated, the Radiant Goddess Butterfly hovered quietly in the palm of her hand.

Two yellow, hundred-year spirit rings emerged from beneath her feet, and the level 29 peak spirit power fluctuation made Meng Shenji and Qin Ming feel even more delighted.

"Good! Good! Good!" Meng Shenji exclaimed repeatedly. Before Wang Dong'er could even retract her spirit, he had already pulled an enrollment form from his desk drawer, signed it decisively, and stamped it heavily with the official seal.

"Student Wang Dong'er, I am very satisfied with you. If you have no other requests, just fill in your name here, and from today on, you are a member of the Royal Academy. With your talent and strength, the academy will certainly arrange for the most excellent teachers to guide your cultivation. If you are willing, I can also find time to teach you personally."

Qin Ming hurriedly pulled over a chair and gestured for Wang Dong'er to sit, his tone carrying a hint of urgency. "That's right, sign it quickly, don't hesitate any longer. If you enroll and start training early, you'll still be able to catch the Spirit Master Tournament in two years and accumulate some real combat experience!"

The corner of Wang Dong'er's mouth twitched slightly.

How did it suddenly feel like I'm being swindled by two people working together to sign a contract of indentured servitude?

"Then where should I go to pay the tuition and accommodation fees?"

"Tuition? Accommodation fees?" Meng Shenji nearly couldn't hold back a curse.

Pay my ass... ahem.

He straightened his expression and waved a hand grandly. "I will cover all of your expenses at the Royal Academy. After all, as a commoner spirit master, it is only right that I take extra care of you."

"Uh... alright, thank you for your kindness, Senior."
