Heading to Tiandou, Chief Meng Shenji!

"You absorbed a hundred-year soul ring as your first ring! Truly... should I call you lucky or unfortunate?" One had to know that a hundred-year soul beast was by no means something a soul master without a ring could defeat; fortunately, it was a severely wounded soul beast, so it could be considered picking up a huge bargain.

"Eh? This martial soul of yours?" Fule had never seen such a martial soul before—a blue-white sphere. What could this tool martial soul possibly do? Smash people?

"Little Chen, what is your martial soul?" Fule asked.

"Uncle, my martial soul is called Gulu Ball, and it can contract soul beasts."

Contract soul beasts?

The crowd was puzzled, and Fule asked again, "A contract-type martial soul?"

Luo Chen threw out the transformed primary Gulu Ball. With a flash of light, a strange, half-meter-tall eyeball-like creature appeared, complete with tentacles and a silver-purple body.

Luo Dashan and his wife were startled, but Fule wore a thoughtful expression.

"What kind of soul beast is this?" Fule asked. At that time, the Evil Eye clan only appeared on the Sun Moon Continent; even if there were some on the Douluo Continent, their numbers were extremely rare, so it was normal for Fule, as a Soul Ancestor, not to know it.

"He is called an Evil Eye, about six hundred years old, and his ability is mental shock."

"A mental-type soul beast!" Fule slapped the table and stood up. "That makes sense. Contract-type martial soul masters usually have powerful mental strength as well; mental-type soul masters are truly rare!"

After pondering for a moment, Fule said, "Little Chen, would you be willing to go to the Heaven Dou Junior Soul Master Academy to study?"

"Heaven Dou Junior Soul Master Academy?" Luo Dashan and his wife exclaimed. That was in Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. It was not easy for commoners like them to even visit, let alone send their child there to study—it was something they dared not even imagine.

Fule saw the embarrassment of the couple and immediately said, "I used to teach at the Heaven Dou Junior Soul Master Academy and still have some influence there. I can secure a work-study spot for Little Chen. With Little Chen's talent, staying in this small town is simply burying his potential."

A glimmer of light appeared in Luo Chen's eyes. Ever since he awakened the Gulu Ball martial soul, he had wanted to go out and see the world. Finally, the opportunity had arrived!

"Uncle Fule, I want to go. I want to go out and see the world!" Luo Chen said firmly.

A month later, Luo Chen followed Luo Dashan to Heaven Dou City. This time, Luo Dashan was on a caravan mission, and the destination happened to be Heaven Dou City.

After arriving at their destination, he asked the caravan manager for leave and took Luo Chen to the Heaven Dou Junior Soul Master Academy.

At the freshman registration desk.

The teacher in charge of receiving new students was about to fall asleep, as it was the afternoon of the final day of registration. Generally, everyone who was supposed to come had already arrived, and sitting here was purely for show.

"Excuse me, is this the registration desk for the Heaven Dou Junior Soul Master Academy?"

The teacher heard this and immediately opened his eyes, but after seeing Luo Chen and his father clearly, he looked a bit confused.

The Heaven Dou Junior Soul Master Academy was the junior division of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. One had to know that this was a school only nobles could enter, or those with special approval. However, the attire of Luo Dashan and his son did not look like that of nobles.

"Hello, are you sure you are here to register for the Heaven Dou Junior Soul Master Academy?" The teacher was quite polite and not as arrogant as one might imagine.

Luo Chen said, "Yes, teacher. Uncle Fule told me to come!" As he spoke, Luo Chen handed him the letter of introduction from his pocket.

The teacher looked at the large characters on the letter that read "To be opened by Chief Meng Shenji" and for a moment did not know what to do.

However, he quickly reacted and said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and report this!"

As he spoke, he summoned his martial soul and flew off into the distance. He was actually a flying soul master with four-ring cultivation. Indeed, Heaven Dou City was not lacking in experts; even an ordinary teacher had four rings.

"Dad, let's wait here for a while. I think it should be quick."

Others might not know who Meng Shenji was, but Luo Chen certainly did. As a transmigrator, he knew very well that this Chief of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse. His Black Demon martial soul had the effect of eroding mental strength, and he could be considered half a mental-type soul master.

Just as he was thinking, another group of people arrived in the distance. Three people stepped down from a carriage—one large and two small, all very sturdy.

The leader walked up to Luo Dashan and his son and asked, "Brother, do you know where the recruitment teacher went?"

"Oh, that teacher will be back in a moment."

The two children also looked like they were here to register. They looked exactly the same and were likely twins.

One of the children looked at Luo Chen and walked up, saying, "Are you here to register too?"

Looking at his expression, although there was no hostility, it was full of contempt. He was probably wondering how a commoner like this could come here to study.

Luo Chen did not want to bother with him. He could feel the child's contempt, but having lived two lives, he disdained arguing with a child, so he just nodded slightly.

"Hey, why aren't you answering me? Let me tell you, I have innate soul power of level eight, and now I'm already level nine. What level are you?"

Luo Chen was slightly surprised to hear about the level eight innate soul power. It seemed this was also a little genius who might reach the Soul Douluo level with hard work, but in front of him, it was nothing.

After signing the contract with the Evil Emperor and absorbing a trace of the Evil Emperor's residual soul power, his soul power level had steadily reached level 16. Furthermore, his first soul ring possessed two soul skills, and he could summon an incomplete Evil Emperor. Even if the two children teamed up, they wouldn't be able to beat him.

"Kid, the brat opposite clearly looks down on you. Aren't you going to beat him up?" The Evil Emperor's voice came out at an inopportune moment.

Luo Chen teased, "Why is the dignified Evil Emperor competing with a child? Are you shameless?"

Luo Chen didn't indulge him. This old Evil Eye was constantly plotting to possess Luo Chen, but he never succeeded.

Luo Chen was currently playing with fire. The two had reached a delicate balance: the Evil Emperor wanted to wait for an opportunity to possess Luo Chen, so he had to slowly recover his strength, while Luo Chen wanted to continue suppressing the Evil Emperor, so he also had to increase his own strength. This formed the current situation where both parties' strength grew steadily and synchronously.

If one day Luo Chen could no longer suppress the Evil Emperor, he would be 100% possessed; conversely, the Evil Emperor would be completely controlled by Luo Chen.

Just then, an old voice came: "So it was the head of the Shi family sending his two sons to register. Welcome, welcome!"

The middle-aged man from earlier said, "Shi Mo, Shi Mo, why haven't you greeted Chief Meng Shenji yet?"

The two children stood up straight and bowed to Meng Shenji: "Greetings, Chief!"

"Good, good. I heard that the two of you have very high affinity with your martial souls and great talent. Welcome to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy." Meng Shenji appeared quite rigid on the surface, but he was actually quite gentle.

Luo Chen looked at the two people from earlier. So they were the Shi brothers, those two Black Tortoise soul masters from the Imperial Fighting Team.
