"Master, look at that spirit beast!"
At this moment, Li Jiutian pointed into the distance four kilometers away, saying excitedly.
"That is a six-thousand-year cultivation Earth-Splitting Savage Bull. Xiaotian, your second spirit ring has been found!"
After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of golden light and swept toward it.
"Master, wait for me!"
Li Jiutian also spread his wings, following closely behind.
The Earth-Splitting Savage Bull looked up at Qian Daoliu in the air and let out an angry roar.
"You beast, you certainly have quite the temper!"
Just as Qian Daoliu was about to swing his sword, Li Jiutian blocked his path.
"Master, let me test it out!"
"First spirit skill, Vacuum Slash!"
The purple spirit ring on Li Jiutian's body flickered slightly, and then a five-meter-long blade of light appeared before him, rushing toward the Earth-Splitting Savage Bull at incredible speed!
"Roar!"
The Earth-Splitting Savage Bull let out a painful howl as a five-meter-long gash was carved into its left arm.
"A six-thousand-year spirit beast, nothing more than this!"
Li Jiutian snorted coldly.
"Xiaotian, do not be careless!"
Qian Daoliu reminded him.
At that moment, the Earth-Splitting Savage Bull slammed into the ground, causing the earth to spread like a spiderweb and slowly crack open.
"Heh, you big clumsy bull, I can fly—can you even hit me?"
Li Jiutian smiled slightly, in no rush to attack.
Suddenly, thousands of stones and debris rose from the ground, rushing toward him!
Watching the rain of debris, Li Jiutian knew he couldn't dodge it, so he simply used a shield to withstand the onslaught.
But in less than three seconds, cracks began to appear on the golden shield.
"Xiaotian, remember this: whether facing a spirit beast or a spirit master, never underestimate your enemy!"
Qian Daoliu swung his holy sword lightly, and the Earth-Splitting Savage Bull's left arm fell to the ground.
The Earth-Splitting Savage Bull rolled on the ground in agony, stopping its attack on Li Jiutian.
"Master, your disciple will take your teachings to heart!"
Li Jiutian said respectfully.
"Mm, go finish it off."
Qian Daoliu retracted his martial soul and said calmly.
Li Jiutian's expression turned cold. He instantly flew in front of the Earth-Splitting Savage Bull, then, with his left hand enveloped in spirit power, he smashed its skull with a single punch!
At this moment, a deep purple spirit ring slowly rose from the corpse of the Earth-Splitting Savage Bull.
Without a word, Li Jiutian began to meditate and absorb the spirit ring.
One hour later.
"Absorbing this six-thousand-year spirit ring was actually much easier than absorbing my first one."
Li Jiutian slowly opened his eyes and said excitedly.
"Quickly, tell me, what is your second spirit skill?"
Qian Daoliu nodded with satisfaction and asked.
"After absorbing this spirit ring, my spirit power has risen to level 25!"
"My second spirit skill is called Demon-Breaking Holy Light. It can purge an opponent's defensive and enhancement skills, and then increase my own strength by 20%."
"But this spirit skill has a weakness: it cannot be cast on a group. It can only purge the defensive and enhancement skills of a single individual," Li Jiutian explained.
"Although it cannot be cast on a group, this second spirit skill of yours is extremely formidable. It is practically the bane of support-type spirit masters!"
"Xiaotian, I thought about it carefully last night. I still intend to send you to the Spirit Hall Primary Academy so you can learn more about the fundamental knowledge of martial souls."
Qian Daoliu said calmly.
"Very well, I must obey Master's words!"
Li Jiutian smiled slightly and agreed.
"You brat, try to be less troublesome at the academy. Don't go around telling everyone about our master-disciple relationship!"
Qian Daoliu gave his instructions before leading Li Jiutian toward Spirit Hall.
Spirit City.
Spirit Hall Primary Academy was built in the very center of Spirit City.
Spirit masters were a highly noble profession on the Douluo Continent, and as a cradle for cultivating them, the decor of Spirit Hall Primary Academy was naturally far from shabby.
Those who could study here were either wealthy, noble, or possessed exceptionally high talent.
As an aristocratic academy, its total area was equivalent to five Notting Academies, making it extremely luxurious.
Li Jiutian, dressed in a white student uniform, walked into the classroom.
There were thirty students in the classroom, and each student's seat held great significance.
The more prestigious one's status, the further forward they sat, and Li Jiutian naturally took his place in the front row as a matter of course.
Many students began to whisper, all discussing the background of the boy sitting in the front row.
"Have you heard? It seems he came from within Spirit Hall."
"He's so handsome, so cute!"
"Pfft, I don't know what qualifications he has to sit there. My father's net worth exceeds five million gold soul coins, yet I can only sit in the third row."
Li Jiutian ignored these discussions, preoccupied with other thoughts.
Just then, a very beautiful little girl also walked into the classroom, but she silently sat in the very last row.
She was incredibly pretty, with long, jet-black hair draped loosely behind her, a fair, oval face, and a pair of bright, watery eyes beneath arched brows.
Yet, her eyes were filled with low self-esteem and fear of the unfamiliar environment.
Seeing her sit in the last row, many female students gathered together to gossip:
"Look, which wild girl has wandered in now!"
"I'm saying, she smelled like a commoner the moment she walked in."
"Exactly, what right do these commoners have to attend class with us? I really don't know what the academy is thinking!"
Hearing these harsh remarks, the little girl simply pulled out her textbook in silence and began tidying her desk.
Li Jiutian glanced behind him, then thought to himself, This girl is not simple!
"Ding, ding, ding~"
As the bell rang, the noise in the classroom came to an abrupt halt.
A plump female teacher walked into the classroom and said:
"Hello, students. I am your homeroom teacher, Xia Ling."
"Now, please open your textbooks, and we will officially begin the lesson."
Li Jiutian shook his head helplessly and slumped onto his desk to fall asleep.
Aside from the information regarding spirits, the knowledge being taught was much the same as what was taught in primary schools on Blue Star; it would be a miracle if he could listen to it.
Seeing Li Jiutian asleep, Xia Ling turned a blind eye. After all, a student who could sit in the front row was not someone she could afford to offend.
Soon, the day's classes ended.
Xia Ling guided the new students and arranged their accommodations one by one.
The dormitories at Spirit Hall Primary Academy were co-ed, but they were four-person suites, which were much better than the seven-person collective dorms at Notting Academy.
Each dormitory was 120 square meters, featuring four individual bedrooms and all the necessary amenities.
"Little Tian, this is your dormitory. You will be living with three girls, so if any issues arise, try to be accommodating, okay?"
Xia Ling instructed, then handed the dormitory key to Li Jiutian.
"Teacher, I understand!"
Li Jiutian replied, then walked into the dormitory.
As soon as he entered, he heard a burst of noisy shouting.
It's that girl, what a coincidence!
Li Jiutian looked at the scene before him in surprise.
In the common area, two female students with above-average looks were bullying the girl.
"From now on, you are our maid, understand?"
One of the female students said viciously.
The girl simply knelt on the floor, nodding silently.
"Also, from now on, you are responsible for washing our clothes, buying snacks, cleaning the room, and so on!"
Another female student pinched the girl's cheek and chimed in.
"Hey! You two, do you get a kick out of bullying a little girl?"
Just as the girl was about to nod, a voice interrupted her—it was Li Jiutian.
Seeing Li Jiutian arrive, the two female students immediately stood up from the sofa.
"You're Li Jiutian, the one who sits in the front row, right? I'm Wang Ya, nice to meet you!"
Wang Ya said, her eyes sparkling with adoration.
"I'm Fan Xiaohua!"
The other female student followed closely behind, introducing herself.
"Are you alright?"
Li Jiutian ignored the two female students entirely and helped the girl, who was kneeling on the floor, to her feet.
"Th-thank you!"
The girl said, her face flushing slightly.
"She's just a lowly commoner who sits in the back row. Why help her?"
Wang Ya looked at Li Jiutian, puzzled.
"In my eyes, people with your character are the real commoners!"
"What kind of skill is it to only bully those weaker than yourselves?"
"If I ever see you lay a finger on this girl again, feel free to test me!"
After saying this, Li Jiutian took the girl's hand and led her into his bedroom.
"Why did you help me?"
