Enrollment

A moment later, Dugu Shuo's aura settled down, and a helmet appeared on his head.

Just as Dugu Feng thought he had finished absorbing it.

Purple light flared from Dugu Shuo again, and Green Rhombus Scales appeared on his forehead.

Streaks of purple light gathered toward his head.

Dugu Shuo was going to test Dugu Feng's theory.

The Meridians all over his body, his blood, even his hair, were filled with toxins. Every day, those toxins eroded his vitality.

The toxins had completely fused with his body; likewise, they were part of him.

That made purging the poison difficult!

Dugu Shuo frowned and tried starting with his arm, where the danger was smallest, using Soul Power to draw out the small amount of toxin in the skin before sending it into the Soul Bone.

After a while, his expression eased.

He looked at Dugu Feng and Old Snake with a complicated expression. "Feng'er's method works, and the earlier it's used, the better. I, and Old Snake too, have cultivated for so many years that the toxins have long since congealed with our bodies. Purging the poison won't be easy.

"Just now, I tried using Soul Power to move the toxins, and it already had an effect, but the process will be very long. Next, I'll refine some medicinal herbs to assist it. Even if I lose some strength, I have to force the toxins into the Soul Bone!"

Dugu Shuo's gaze was resolute.

The toxins within Soul Power were part of a Soul Master's strength, but the toxins inside the body were truly poison.

And as long as one circulated Soul Power, a portion of the toxins would sink into the body's blood, Meridians, Bones, and Viscera.

He was already a Soul Sage and had cultivated for decades. Too many toxins had sunk into his body.

"Feng'er, if the Soul Bone were used by you, then while your poisoning was still shallow, you could force the toxins that sank into your body from cultivation into the Soul Bone every day. In the future, you wouldn't be troubled by toxins anymore!"

After thinking this through, Dugu Shuo sighed. He somewhat regretted using this Soul Bone himself.

"Dad, there's no need for that. As long as your strength improves, you'll definitely be able to obtain more Soul Bones in the future!"

Dugu Feng was very optimistic. What he had in mind was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Dugu Shuo nodded and said nothing more.

In his heart, he had already made up his mind to gather information about Soul Bones.

Old Snake, standing beside them, was also excited. Though Soul Bones were precious, at least there was now a solution.

With the Dugu Family's strength, perhaps they might obtain a Soul Bone at some point. He had to plan this carefully with the Clan Leader. Old Snake's thoughts kept shifting.

A short while later, Dugu Feng left the Ancestral Hall.

He was about to begin immersive cultivation again. Now, after all, he had obtained a Spirit Ring.

The focus of his cultivation was his First Soul Skill, Jade Phosphor Purple Poison.

On the Training Ground.

Dugu Feng stood there alone.

For the first time, he truly felt the effect of a soul skill, and the yellow Spirit Ring appeared.

"Jade Phosphor Purple Poison!"

The Spirit Ring flashed, and a mouthful of Thick Purple Mist had already shot out.

Dugu Feng felt that, in that instant, the power of the Spirit Ring acted on his entire body.

It condensed pure Jade Phosphor Purple Poison, then launched it in an attack.

This was the effect of a soul skill.

Dugu Feng tried again and again, not sitting down cross-legged to begin meditating and recover his Soul Power until his Soul Power was exhausted.

At the same time, he used the energy emitted by the Pill Bead to nourish the two Nine-Section Emeralds.

Scenes like this repeated day after day.

After Dugu Feng tested it for Half Moon, he discovered that the Pill Bead had an enormous effect on the Nine-Section Emeralds.

In just this Half Moon, Soul Power had already been born within the Nine-Section Emeralds, turning them into Soul Beasts.

With the help of Soul Power, taming them to fly became much easier. On top of that, Dugu Feng understood the principles of flight very clearly, so the two Nine-Section Emeralds could already glide crookedly for more than two meters, which delighted Dugu Feng.

In the gaps between cultivation, whenever he saw the two Jade Snakes on his wrist with their lively eyes, Dugu Feng's mood brightened considerably.

And after spending every day together, he and the two Little Snakes were practically linked in mind, allowing him to make them attack at any time as if they were his own arms.

Next came constantly strengthening the two Nine-Section Emeralds.

Dugu Feng followed the family's taming methods.

Feeding them with his own Soul Power and Soul Beast Meat, they grew very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed. Dugu Feng's Soul Power rose by one rank, reaching rank thirteen.

And it was time for him to enroll.

The school he was going to was precisely Heaven Dou Royal Junior Academy, also known as Heaven Dou Royal Advanced Academy Affiliated Academy.

It was responsible for teaching Soul Masters from ages six to twelve.

This school was also outside the city, which surprised Dugu Feng a little. He knew that this school, like Heaven Dou Royal Advanced Academy, was a place only nobles could enter.

It seemed the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's original intention in establishing schools had still been to nurture powerful soul masters.

Unfortunately, in the end, it had still become a place where nobles ran wild.

Otherwise, the three Committee Members would not have been so insistent on keeping Flender and the others when they met them. The school was full of noble children, and they really were hard to teach!

That day, the autumn air was crisp and the sun shone brightly.

Old Snake took Dugu Feng out of Heaven Dou City and arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, nestled against mountains and beside water.

At the foot of the mountain was a glittering lake, with mountains a thousand meters high, dense vegetation, and clearly a great many Mimetic cultivation environments here.

From the mountainside to the top of the mountain was the advanced academy.

Beside the lake at the foot of the mountain stood a cluster of bright yellow buildings. The buildings were all relatively low, no more than three stories at most.

This was the elementary academy.

As they walked through it, the soul arena, Training Ground, dining hall, and Simulated Environment zones were all arranged in perfect order. It could be said that even across the entire continent, these were among the best cultivation conditions.

Old Snake brought him to a Teaching Building.

"Welcome, Dugu Senior. Welcome, Brother Feng, to the academy!" In front of the Teaching Building, a handsome Blonde Youth was already waiting there.

Old Snake had come to the academy in advance and had already arranged everything.

The young man's good looks made Dugu Feng take an extra glance. He was almost absurdly handsome, standing there neither servile nor overbearing, with a very impressive bearing.

"Young Master, this is Teacher Ge. He's the homeroom teacher in charge of your class. Don't be fooled by how young he is—his strength has already reached Soul King!" Old Snake introduced him.

The surname Ge immediately made Dugu Feng think of the number one figure in the empire's military, Ge Long.

The Ge Family was also one of the forces in control of the Great Soul Arena, representing the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

This handsome Teacher Ge was probably a member of the Ge Family.

"Greetings, Teacher Ge," Dugu Feng said with a bow.

Seeing that the two had already become acquainted, Old Snake said, "Young Master, Teacher Ge, you two talk. There are matters in the clan, so I'll be leaving first!"

Old Snake left decisively. Dugu Feng's maturity left him without the slightest worry.

This was only the elementary academy, after all. Moreover, among the various factions, the Ge Family and the Dugu Family had always advanced and retreated together, so he was very much at ease.

The most important purpose of enrolling was still to become familiar with the next generation of the various factions.

The students here were all people from different clans.

In the future, they might also become the people in power among the various forces of the Heaven Dou Empire.

And Dugu Feng's identity destined him to shoulder the heavy burden of his family in the future.
