"Hey, Xiao Lin, what brings you here?"

Just then, a pleasantly surprised voice rang out beside Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan looked over and saw Ye Feng holding a girl's hand.

A year ago, not long after his martial soul awakened, Uncle Ye Feng had received a secret mission and left the family compound. He had not come by in a long time.

What secret mission was it?

Lin Yuan's thoughts drifted for no reason.

Ye Feng was also holding the hand of a brown-haired girl. The girl was curiously sizing him up, her eyes sparkling.

This should be Uncle Ye's daughter, Ye Lingtong, the one who later stabbed Lan Xuanyu in the back and repaid kindness with betrayal in the original work, right?

Lin Yuan only glanced at her before shifting his gaze to Ye Feng and pointing at Lan Xuanyu beside him.

"Mm, I'm here to help my little brother enroll."

"Xuanyu, come here. This is our Uncle Ye. Hey, what the hell, what are you doing..."

"Brother, that girl is looking at you."

Lan Xuanyu was staring warily at Ye Lingtong's gaze as it fell on him.

Lin Yuan: ...

As expected of my otouto. Did he actually see through my thoughts in advance and help me block trouble?

Xuanyu, you little guy, well done!

"Take back that rude look. Anyone who didn't know better would think I brought a henchman, not a little brother." Lin Yuan flicked Lan Xuanyu on the forehead.

"Ow, Brother. But Brother, how much longer do we have to wait? There are so many people lining up ahead."

"Not long."

Lan Xuanyu wore a miserable expression, originally thinking they would have to wait for a very long time.

But just then, Qiu Yuxin slowly arrived under the escort of several teachers.

Compared with the gentle Qiu Yuxin from before, the current Qiu Yuxin had a calm expression, and her whole bearing revealed a bit of a career woman's elegance. If she had not been limping because of the high heels she wore, it would have made her presence as someone in authority stand out even more.

The moment she saw Lin Yuan, Qiu Yuxin's frosty expression instantly broke, and she looked delighted as she said, "Xiao Lin, you're here!"

The next second, Qiu Yuxin strode quickly toward him.

The corner of Lin Yuan's eye twitched. Just as he was about to skillfully dodge aside, he saw a small figure rush out sideways, run in front of Lin Yuan, spread both arms, and say angrily, "Auntie, what are you trying to do?!"

"Auntie?!" Qiu Yuxin froze, for a moment actually forgetting that Lan Xuanyu was still blocking her path.

Auntie?!

Lin Yuan was startled. Come to think of it, Qiu Yuxin's outfit today really did not look like something someone her age should wear. She even looked older than Aunt Cheng.

Although Lan Xuanyu was only six, he possessed the bloodline of the Gold and Silver Dragon King.

In the collision, Qiu Yuxin was actually knocked back a few steps by Lan Xuanyu, while Lan Xuanyu also lost his balance.

Just as he was about to fall, Lin Yuan supported him from behind and at the same time flicked his forehead with two fingers.

"Move aside. What auntie? This is your future teacher. Don't be rude."

"Oh, got it, Brother." Lan Xuanyu covered his forehead, looking pitiful.

"Oh my, this little fellow really is strong."

Qiu Yuxin rubbed her lower stomach and looked at Lan Xuanyu before her, her eyes lighting up slightly. This child was truly good-looking.

"Teacher Qiu, this is Xuanyu's file. Mm, he's seven, martial soul is mutated Blue Silver Grass, he controls the water element, his innate Soul Power is rank seven, and his current Soul Power is rank eleven."

Lin Yuan handed Lan Xuanyu's file to Qiu Yuxin. After finishing the request, he was ready to go home.

Ever since Lin Yuan had swept through Tiandou Academy with an invincible bearing, he had already obtained privileges such as not needing to attend class, not taking exams, and being free to move about. He rarely stayed at school during the day anymore.

"Xuanyu, I'm heading back first. Listen properly to Teacher Qiu in class, got it?"

Although Lan Xuanyu was a little reluctant, he still nodded.

"Mm-hm. Brother, you go back."

Lin Yuan gave the little Dragon God's head a hard rub, then immediately left the academy.

Lan Xuanyu watched Lin Yuan leave and did not come back to his senses for a long while.

Only after Lin Yuan had completely disappeared from sight did Lan Xuanyu go with Qiu Yuxin to handle the enrollment procedures.

Lan Xuanyu was very smart. Yesterday, he had already remembered what Lan Xiao told him: he was not to expose the fact that he had innate full Soul Power, and he could only use his silver Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

Just as Lan Xuanyu followed Qiu Yuxin's steps, he suddenly heard someone call him from behind.

"Hey, you, the one called Lan Xuanyu."

"What?"

Lan Xuanyu looked at Ye Lingtong warily.

"Could you introduce me to that boy just now?" Ye Lingtong seemed a little bashful.

"You want to get to know my big brother?" Lan Xuanyu's eyes turned wary again. He looked at Ye Lingtong, who was fairly pretty, and shook his head. "My brother doesn't want to know you. I'm going to register."

After saying that, Lan Xuanyu took Qiu Yuxin's hand and started registering.

By the time they got home, it was almost noon.

Lin Yuan had no idea about the little episode after he left, but even if he had known, he would not have cared. After all, he really had no interest in Ye Lingtong.

After making do with a simple meal, Lin Yuan entered the Douluo World.

Before entering the Douluo World, Lin Yuan had tested his Soul Power.

Mm. After this year of cultivation, Lin Yuan's Soul Power had already reached level nineteen.

This rate of Soul Power improvement was already quite fast. One had to know that Lv Qianxun, who was nine years old and possessed the Golden Lion King martial soul, had only just barely reached level nineteen.

Not to mention, his own Soul Power had been compressed.

And how old was he?

Seven!

He was almost just one step away from entering level twenty and obtaining his second Soul Skill.

This time, after arriving in the Douluo World, Lin Yuan did not go grind his daily dungeon, the elementary Training Ground. Instead, he headed straight for the Soul Fighting Arena.

Entering the Soul Fighting Arena required registration.

At the same time, Lin Yuan spent one thousand Douluo Coins to conceal his own name and changed it to another.

Mm. He would call himself Zoffy.

He bought himself a white robe. The robe had decorations on it that shone like stars, and he wore a smiling mask on his face.

"Name?"

"Zoffy."

"Martial soul?"

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, then raised his hand.

A black sphere appeared in Lin Yuan's hand.

The black sphere began spinning at high speed, and all the elemental energy in the Soul Fighting Arena seemed to answer a summons as it surged over, dyeing the sphere in a riot of colors.

A Singularity was a Singularity. It had no color to begin with. In that case, it could also be dyed other colors under my command.

Lin Yuan said calmly:

"Martial soul, Star of Elements. Control-system soul master."

"Good. The system has detected that your bone age is under twenty. By default, you'll be assigned to this group. Of course, if you're willing, you can also choose other age ranges and cultivation ranges, as long as you can afford to lose."

"All right, what's your team's name?"

"You need a team to enter the Soul Fighting Arena?" Lin Yuan asked in confusion.

"Of course. The Soul Fighting Arena doesn't only have solo mode. There's also multiplayer mode, and in multiplayer mode, you must form a team."

"Of course, there are also some people who can't find a team. Our Douluo World provides them with Douluo World-exclusive teammates, but don't expect those exclusive teammates to be very strong. They're only there to let you experience team coordination."

Lin Yuan: ...

Exclusive teammates... to put it bluntly, weren't they just bots...

But that was fine too. Lin Yuan had no habit of coordinating with others. Rather than finding teammates who would drag him down, he might as well go alone.

He was already the Homelander. Why would he need to borrow anyone else's strength?

"My team's name is... One Man."
