Chinese Paladin

Hu Liena curled her lip—

Getting taller or whatever... anyway, right now I'm taller than you.

Lin Bei sat down, looked at Hu Liena, and asked, "Senior Sister came looking for me. Is there something urgent? A Fu, go brew a pot of tea."

"No need for tea. Teacher sent me to call you."

"Teacher wants to see me?"

"That's right. Teacher said she wants to see you."

Hu Liena glanced sidelong at Lin Bei. "If you haven't had breakfast yet, I can wait for you."

"I'll skip breakfast."

Lin Bei hopped down from the chair. "Since Teacher wants to see me, let's hurry over."

Seeing that Lin Bei had already walked toward the door, Hu Liena pouted, then hopped down from the chair and followed.

Under Hu Liena's lead, Lin Bei arrived at a garden within Papal Hall.

The garden was filled with clusters of blooming flowers, and colorful butterflies danced through the air.

Bibi Dong was seated in the pavilion in the garden.

She was not wearing that luxurious black robe inlaid with gold, but a long white dress edged with lace. At this moment, she was leaning lazily against a bench, her whole body giving off a mature, holy aura.

Hu Liena brought Lin Bei up to her.

"Teacher, we're here."

On the bench, Bibi Dong lifted her eyes. In those amethyst-like eyes, it seemed as if lake water was rippling. She looked at Hu Liena and Lin Bei, then said calmly:

"You two should have met already, right?"

"Mm." *2

Lin Bei and Hu Liena nodded in unison.

From who knew where, Bibi Dong took out a black wristguard. The wristguard was adorned with a ring of crystal gems. With a wave of her hand, the wristguard immediately floated before Lin Bei's eyes.

"This is a gift for you. Take it."

Her words carried a tone that allowed no questioning.

Lin Bei reached out and took the wristguard.

Hu Liena beside him only glanced at it before paying it no more attention. When she had first acknowledged Bibi Dong as her teacher, Bibi Dong had also given her one, except hers was a necklace.

"Thank you, Teacher."

The instant he received the wristguard, Lin Bei knew this thing was a Space Soul Tool, with roughly twenty cubic meters of space inside.

He had just so happened to be lacking this.

Delighted, Lin Bei put the wristguard on his right wrist.

"This is the Meditation Method for cultivating Soul Power."

As Bibi Dong spoke, she waved her hand, and a book floated toward Lin Bei.

Lin Bei took it and placed it into the wristguard. "Thank you, Teacher."

Bibi Dong waved her hand and instructed, "All right, there's nothing else. If you run into any problems in your cultivation, go ask Na Na first. If Na Na can't help you, then come ask me. Understood?"

"Understood."

"Then you two may leave. Lin Bei, go back and make your preparations. The day after tomorrow, I will send someone to take you to hunt your first soul ring."

"Yes, Teacher."

Lin Bei and Hu Liena left.

Only after the two of them departed did Bibi Dong on the bench lightly knit her willow brows—

That child's body seemed to have grown much stronger.

Judging from the aura he gave off, he seemed to have already reached the Soul Emperor level.

Could it be because of that terrifying Heaven Splitting Axe martial soul?

Could this child perhaps absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as his first soul ring?

"What a terrifying martial soul..."

Bibi Dong murmured with her red lips, a trace of anticipation flashing through her amethyst eyes.

Outside Papal Hall.

Hu Liena said to Lin Bei, "I'm usually at the academy. If you run into any problems, come find me there."

"Oh. Thank you, Senior Sister."

Hu Liena raised her brows and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going first."

She leaped up, and soon disappeared from Lin Bei's sight.

Lin Bei smiled and gazed down the mountain.

Papal Hall was built atop a hill, and the view here was exceptionally broad. He could see most of Spirit City from it.

More than two months had already passed.

Tang San should be about to enter Notting Academy too, and meet Xiao Wu, the heroine destined for him, right?

As Lin Bei looked as far as he could and relaxed, he also recalled the plot of the original work.

He remembered that Tang San had only entered Notting Academy three months after awakening his martial soul.

At Notting Academy, he met Xiao Wu and Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, and under Yu Xiaogang's guidance, began his exceptionally legendary and mythic life.

As a teacher, Yu Xiaogang was actually decent in some respects.

It was just that he often contradicted himself when he spoke.

He said something like there were no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters.

In the end, because of his own useless martial soul, he himself became a useless soul master.

If Tang San had not brought immortal herbs back for him from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he probably would never have shaken off the title of useless soul master for the rest of his life.

And another thing.

Tang San himself was also a naïve fool.

He had clearly been born into an assassination sect. Even if that did not mean he had to stay on guard at all times, when facing someone he had just met, he should at least have had some wariness, right?

Besides, when Tang Hao sent him off to Notting Academy, he had specifically warned him over and over that he absolutely must not expose his hammer martial soul—

Yet after Yu Xiaogang, whom he had just met, said only a few words, Tang San himself revealed the Clear Sky Hammer.

It was only because Yu Xiaogang was not some soul master from Spirit Hall, and happened to be a fan of Clear Sky Douluo, too. Otherwise, with an disobedient child like Tang San, wouldn't he have died before he could even begin his great undertaking?

Lin Bei shook his head.

Whenever he thought of certain plots in the original work, he could not help the soul of mockery stirring in his heart.

After returning to his residence, Lin Bei took out the Meditation Method Bibi Dong had given him and began studying it. Once he started, he became completely absorbed.

It was not until the third day that a line of small text suddenly refreshed before Lin Bei's eyes.

A new Simulation Timeline has been found: "Chinese Paladin."

Holy shit!

Chinese Paladin!

His childhood memories had come just like that?!

Lin Bei rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then looked out the window again. Finding that the sky was already dark, proving he was not daydreaming, he finally looked back at the small text before him.

The words had not changed at all.

The simulator had really found "Chinese Paladin"!

"Chinese Paladin..."

A look of nostalgia appeared on Lin Bei's face, and he suddenly remembered the image of himself in his previous life sitting in front of the television.

Back then, Zhao Ling'er, played by Liu Yifei, had truly been a fairy among fairies.

Speaking of this timeline, its potential was also huge.

There were immortals, there were monsters, and once they started fighting, they could overturn mountains and seas...

Lin Bei rubbed his hands and began the simulation.

He wondered whether he could obtain the Sword Control Technique through simulation.

When he was little and watched Chinese Paladin, the thing he had wanted most was the Sword Control Technique.

With a wave of the hand, sword energy crisscrossed everywhere.

Wasn't that insanely cool?

Selected Simulation Timeline: Chinese Paladin.

Consuming 1 Simulation Point. Beginning spacetime traversal simulation...

In the year 2022 on Earth, as a young man who had become unemployed the moment you graduated, you were suddenly struck by a meteor and transmigrated and reborn into Chinese Paladin, becoming a young worker in the inn owned by Li Xiaoyao's aunt...

At eighteen, after transmigrating, you became a character who had not existed in the original world. After speaking with Li Xiaoyao, you discovered that you had become an orphan raised by Li Xiaoyao's aunt since childhood, and had grown up together with Li Xiaoyao.

You spent three days accepting the fact that you had already transmigrated.

That day, you and Li Xiaoyao were instructed by Auntie to go downstairs and receive the three Miao People who had rented out the inn.

After going downstairs and seeing the Miao People, you knew the plot had begun.

Thinking of the plot from the TV show, you went to the doorway and, sure enough, saw a drunken Taoist priest.

You knew that the Taoist priest was Sword Immortal of Wine from Shushan and wanted to learn the Sword Control Technique from him. So without waiting for Auntie's arrangements, you went to find a jug of wine, carried it outside, and handed it to Sword Immortal of Wine.

Sword Immortal of Wine looked at you in surprise and asked whether your name was Li Xiaoyao.

You said your name was Lin Bei, but that you had a brother called Li Xiaoyao.

The Daoist muttered something, then told you and Li Xiaoyao to meet him later at Ten Mile Slope, where he would teach you both swordsmanship.

You were overjoyed, watching as the Daoist drank and staggered out of sight.

Here it came. Here it came.

He had actually obtained the Sword Immortal of Wine's Sword Control Technique this easily!

Lin Bei was somewhat surprised. He looked at the newly refreshed small text before him, even forgetting the Meditation Method he was holding in his hand.
