Enrollment "Bonus Chapter for Patrons and Monthly Ticket Supporters"

Spirit City, Pope's Palace.

Inside the vast Pope's Palace, Pope Bibi Dong sat upon the papal throne that belonged to her.

Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo stood on either side below the platform.

In the center, two young men and one young woman knelt on one knee, respectfully paying their respects to His Holiness the Pope on the throne.

"Elder Ju, are you certain that a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy casually created a barrier that even you could not break?"

Her voice was cold and imposing. Bibi Dong rose from her seat, and the moment she stood, her long, graceful, perfectly rounded jade legs were revealed in full.

Above those jade legs was a slender, soft waist with flawless curves, so delicate it seemed one hand could encircle it.

Then there was her towering, all-encompassing bosom, its round fullness beyond the grasp of one hand, soft as water and rising and falling faintly with her breathing.

Her exquisite face bore delicately sculpted features, as though it were Heaven's perfect masterpiece, without a single unnecessary detail.

Yet even before such a breathtaking beauty, no one beneath the steps dared lift their heads for even a furtive glance.

"This subordinate would never speak falsely. That boy was indeed extremely strange. There was not the slightest Soul Power Wave on him, yet he could use Soul Skills without summoning Soul Rings. When he left, he vanished out of thin air."

"Does Spirit Hall have any information on his identity?" After confirming that Elder Ju had not lied, Bibi Dong's expression grew solemn. There was actually a powerful expert on Douluo Continent unknown to Spirit Hall?

"According to the boy himself, he came from the countryside. His name is Lu Xiao, and his Martial Soul is six gems of different colors. Spirit Hall has no record of his identity," Chrysanthemum Douluo said respectfully.

"Six gems of different colors? A Gem-type Martial Soul? Is there a Titled Douluo on Douluo Continent with a gem Martial Soul?"

Bibi Dong pondered. Spirit Hall possessed top-secret records on every Titled Douluo. There could not possibly be an omission.

"Could he be a hidden expert from some faction? But a sixteen-year-old Titled Douluo..."

Just as Bibi Dong was thinking, a Spirit Hall deacon entered.

"Speak." Bibi Dong glanced at the deacon and spoke indifferently.

"Your Holiness, a deacon named Su Yuntao from the Spirit Hall branch in Nuoding City, Fasinuo Province, Heaven Dou Empire, has reported discovering a talent with Innate Full Soul Power in a village called Holy Soul Village."

"Oh? Innate Full Soul Power, in a remote village no less? What is his Martial Soul?"

"According to the information Su Yuntao provided, it is a gem-type Martial Soul, consisting of six gems of different colors."

"Hm? What did you say?" Chrysanthemum Douluo could no longer remain composed. "What is that child's name?"

Upon hearing the messenger deacon's words, Hu Liena, who was kneeling halfway to the ground, perked up her ears.

"Uh... Elder Ju, according to the information Su Yuntao provided, that child is named Lu Chen."

"Lu Chen? Lu Xiao?" Chrysanthemum Douluo looked doubtful. Both had the surname Lu, both possessed Six-Colored Gem Martial Souls, and most importantly, both came from the countryside. Could there be some connection between them? "Continue."

"Judging by the timing, the genius named Lu Chen will be attending Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy in two days. Does Your Holiness wish to send someone to recruit him?"

Bibi Dong waved her hand, signaling that the deacon could leave.

For a moment, the entire Pope's Palace fell silent.

"If this Lu Xiao truly is as powerful as you say, then he is at least at the level of a Titled Douluo—at the very least, a Super Douluo. Heh, a sixteen-year-old Super Douluo.

This matter is of great importance. Do not act rashly. Send someone to keep watch in secret and find out exactly what relationship exists between this Lu Chen and Lu Xiao," Bibi Dong said with great authority as she turned away.

But then, as if she had thought of something, sorrow filled her expression. "Xiao Gang..."

Meanwhile, after settling Gu Yuena down, Lu Chen returned to Holy Soul Village.

Holy Soul Village was as it had always been. Whenever the sun was about to set, the villagers who had been working would return one after another.

Tang San was at home earnestly practicing the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer his father had taught him. Who knew how well he was doing now.

"Little Chen, you finally came back! Grandpa searched all over Holy Soul Village for you. I had no idea where you went off to fool around, and you didn't even come back for lunch." Old Jack looked at Lu Chen with some reproach, but in the next moment, his gaze became filled with affection.

Innate Full Soul Power! A genius seen only once in a hundred years, and he was Jack's own grandson. What a glorious honor for the family!

"Grandpa Jack, I went to familiarize myself with my Martial Soul. I hid in a place nobody knew about."

"Hehe, you cannot rush matters concerning Martial Souls. You must not cultivate recklessly. Once you enter Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy, someone will naturally teach you."

"I understand, Grandpa."

Time slipped by quietly, and several days passed in the blink of an eye.

Every morning before dawn, Lu Chen would get up and wait outside Tang San's toilet.

Since Tang San currently could not defeat Lu Chen, he emerged with a dark expression every time.

With no other choice, Tang San began relieving himself in the little forest early in the morning. Yet for some reason, Lu Chen could always find him.

"Brother Chen, please spare me. I'm your little brother, after all. If you keep doing this, it'll be hard for me to work for you in the future!"

In light of Tang San's desperate pleas, Lu Chen had no choice but to let him go.

For several days in a row, Tang San practiced the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer at home. After Lu Chen promised Little San that he would no longer spy on him relieving himself, he appeared beside Gu Yuena's bed every morning, waiting for her to wake up.

Whenever Na'er woke up and saw Lu Chen, she would smile happily. Every time Lu Chen tried to leave, she would tightly clutch his arm and refuse to let go.

Finally, the day came for Old Jack to take them to Nuoding Academy.

Just like in the original story, Little San's father left without saying goodbye while Tang San was out, leaving behind only a letter and a package of pre-prepared roasted rabbit meat. Little San was moved to tears.

Lu Chen, meanwhile, brought two bags of things. One held premium carrots, carefully selected from Old Jack's vegetable garden.

The other contained a brand-new quilt. In the original story, Tang San had relied on that brand-new quilt to get Xiao Wu to sleep with him.

Lu Chen decided to strike first. There was no way he would hand Xiao Wu over to Tang San. Tang San could not even protect her and got her sacrificed in the end. How could that be acceptable?

Let me bear this pain instead! This Shura Field ordained by fate.

Though I seem to have provoked Hu Liena a few days ago. Luckily, our ages do not match. Even if we meet in the future, she probably will not recognize me.

Lu Chen lay in the pile of straw in the carriage, his hands behind his head and a blade of Blue Silver Grass between his lips. He could not have been more comfortable.

"Brother Chen, what were you muttering about just now? What pain?"

"Pain? Your Brother Chen is so handsome—won't I charm countless girls at the academy? I can already imagine the pain of being endlessly entangled by thousands of girls."
