Uncle-Master Praised Her, Yay!

Spirit Hall Academy, opening day.

Yan Xi, the future Spirit Kite Douluo, held Bibi Dong's hand as they walked through the streets of Spirit City.

The newly appointed Pope's wife had deliberately changed into a simple dress today, looking just like an ordinary young mother.

"Dong'er, remember, do not mention your status at the academy," Yan Xi whispered, instructing her. "You are just an ordinary person with good talent, currently living with relatives."

Bibi Dong nodded, her small hand instinctively tightening around Yan Xi's fingers.

She was very fond of this teacher's wife.

She would comb Bibi Dong's hair herself, tell her stories before bed, and prepare delicious food for her after she finished her cultivation.

Is this... what a mother feels like?

"Teacher's wife, is Junior Uncle..." Bibi Dong hesitated, her heart feeling a bit uneasy. "Does he... not need to go to school?"

What Bibi Dong really wanted to ask was, 'Is Junior Uncle not coming to see me off?'

Over the past three months, Huo Yuhao's daily routine had remained incredibly disciplined.

Cultivating spiritual power, cultivating soul power, undergoing training with Golden Crocodile Douluo, sparring with Golden Crocodile Douluo, taking medicinal baths, and visiting the Spirit Hall library.

Bibi Dong's appearance had not distracted Huo Yuhao in the slightest.

However, Bibi Dong always felt that her little junior uncle didn't seem to like her very much. Being a sensitive little girl, she had gone to ask her teacher, Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji patted Bibi Dong's head. "Yuhao's second spirit is too powerful; he requires more time for cultivation. If you want to find Yuhao to play, you can go to the library. He is always there when he isn't cultivating."

So, Bibi Dong went to the library to wait for him.

When Huo Yuhao saw Bibi Dong in the library, he was somewhat surprised, assuming that with the change in her environment and the influence of Spirit Kite Douluo, she had become motivated to learn.

He became slightly less cold toward her and even found a few introductory books for her.

He tried his best to fill Bibi Dong's barren mind with knowledge.

Bibi Dong also noticed the shift in her junior uncle's attitude. Every day at that time, she would find a few books and sit beside him to read together.

Whenever she asked about something she didn't understand, even the most basic questions, her little junior uncle would provide answers.

This change made Bibi Dong overjoyed.

After such a long time, she thought she had finally grown closer to her little junior uncle.

Because her teacher was the Pope, his recognition factor was too high; appearing at Spirit Hall Academy would make it difficult for her to hide her identity and make friends.

But her junior uncle hadn't come either...

Yan Xi paused, looking down at the cautious little girl, and understood.

"If Yuhao were to come to school, he would only be a teacher; he wouldn't be sitting in a classroom like an ordinary child."

Bibi Dong opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"Junior Uncle is that amazing?"

He was only two years older than her, right?

Yan Xi was also a bit surprised. "Hasn't Brother Xun told you?"

Qian Xunji, that Huo Yuhao-fanatic, hadn't revealed anything about Huo Yuhao to Bibi Dong?

Bibi Dong shook her head, pulling on Yan Xi's hand and swaying it. "Teacher's wife, Teacher's wife, tell me quickly~"

All she knew was that her junior uncle read many books and knew many things.

Her curiosity about Huo Yuhao had already overcome the disappointment she felt because he hadn't come to see her off to school.

Primary Academy.

Class 1, Grade 1.

After entering the classroom, Bibi Dong found a random seat and sat down.

The classroom was large, with over thirty desks. Currently, only a few people were seated. The children who had arrived earlier than her were gathered together, discussing their spirits and innate soul power.

These children all looked just like her, only six years old.

Bibi Dong's arrival did not attract much attention; only a few people took a second look because of her cute appearance.

Just as Bibi Dong sat in silence, preparing to digest what she had heard from her teacher's wife about her little junior uncle, a round-faced girl suddenly leaned over.

The girl wasn't particularly pretty, but her smile was bright and infectious.

"Hello, my name is Wu Duo'er. My spirit is a Ghost Face Flower, and my innate soul power is level four." The girl looked at Bibi Dong with sparkling eyes. "What's your name?"

"Bibi Dong."

"Bibi Dong? What a strange name." Wu Duo'er sat down next to her and stared at Bibi Dong's face for a long while. "You're so pretty. What is your spirit?"

"My spirit is a spider, and my innate soul power is level eight."

Bibi Dong had no concept of what a normal standard for innate soul power was.

Since she was supposed to hide her twin spirits, she simply masked her soul power as well.

An innate soul power of level eight felt reasonable to Bibi Dong.

The soul masters she had encountered so far all possessed an innate soul power of at least level six or seven.

Since she was a genius, it was only natural for her to be one level higher than them.

"E-eight? Level eight?!"

Following Wu Duo'er's exclamation, the others in the classroom looked over as well.

Level eight? What level eight?

"Wow! Bibi Dong, you're amazing! Have you obtained your first soul ring yet? What is your soul skill?"

Bibi Dong shook her head. "I haven't decided which Soul Beast to choose for my first soul ring yet. Besides, not absorbing a ring won't affect my cultivation anyway."

In reality, the only reason Bibi Dong had yet to obtain her first soul ring was that her physical constitution was too poor.

Although her martial soul wasn't as outrageous as Huo Yuhao's, she was still a genius with twin martial souls and innate full soul power; naturally, Qian Xunji would not let her choose a Soul Beast to absorb lightly.

For the past three months, Qian Xunji had been conditioning her body.

He had even fed her some Whale Glue, which could increase one's physical tolerance.

However, Bibi Dong couldn't explain these factors to her new classmates, so she simply found a suitable excuse.

In an instant, Bibi Dong became the focus of the entire classroom.

Among her classmates, she saw a wide variety of martial souls, none with particularly high innate soul power. Many might only reach the level of a Soul Grandmaster or Soul Ancestor in the future, yet they remained full of anticipation for their future careers as soul masters.

For those from ordinary families, becoming a soul master was a crucial turning point that would change their lives.

In the evening, the moment school ended, Bibi Dong headed straight to the Spirit Hall library.

At this hour, Huo Yuhao would still be there.

Her face was weary, but her eyes were startlingly bright.

"Uncle-Master!" Seeing Huo Yuhao, she ran over excitedly. "I made three friends today! They complimented my hair, saying it looked like maple leaves!"

Huo Yuhao kept his head lowered, looking at the book in front of him, and responded indifferently.

That seemed a bit cold. I shouldn't dampen Bibi Dong's enthusiasm.

"You did well. You can make more friends. Friends made in youth are based purely on appearance and feelings; once you grow up, it becomes very difficult to find such friends again."

"Mm-hmm." Bibi Dong smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Uncle-Master praised her!

Sitting beside Huo Yuhao and looking at the little Uncle-Master who was only two years older than her yet seemed capable of anything, Bibi Dong's admiration was written all over her face.
