After reaching the entrance of the Martial Soul Sub-Hall, Lin Fan hesitated for a moment before finally leading Gu Yue Na'er inside.
As the Pope, Bibi Dong probably would not stay in a place like this for long. Lein City was actually a very ordinary city, much like Nuoding City.
After entering the Martial Soul Sub-Hall, Lin Fan briefly summoned his Martial Soul, the Immortal-Slaying Divine Sword, and tested his Soul Power Level. He did not deliberately reveal his Millennium Soul Ring, and the Spirit Hall teacher did not ask any questions. Before long, he was given a Soul Master badge.
Lin Fan also successfully received a Gold Soul Coin. The Immortal-Slaying Divine Sword did not attract the Spirit Hall teacher's attention either. The sword looked utterly ordinary, aside from some strange patterns on its surface. Other than Lin Fan himself, no one could sense the powerful sword intent within it.
In the eyes of ordinary Soul Masters on Douluo Continent, any unfamiliar Tool Martial Soul seemed weak. Generally speaking, most Battle Soul Masters possessed Beast Martial Souls. Even in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, the powerful opponents were almost all Beast Martial Souls. Throughout the Soul Master world, Beast Martial Soul users held a higher status than Tool Martial Soul users, whose Martial Souls generally leaned toward support and control.
Holding the Gold Soul Coin, Lin Fan happily took Gu Yue Na'er's hand and found a decent restaurant in the city, treating her to an extravagant meal.
The various delicacies of Douluo Continent were similar to those on Earth. After all, Soul Masters were still a minority here, while everyone else continued developing their own fields. By now, Douluo Continent already had some basic technology, all of which was called Soul Tools.
Only after eating did Lin Fan begin searching for traces of Xiao Wu with Gu Yue Na'er. They went through many secluded places but failed to find Xiao Wu anywhere. He eventually gave up, thinking that Xiao Wu might not have come here after all. He would just wait a while and go directly to Nuoding Junior Academy to look for her.
At a hotel in the city, Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er rested properly for the night. When they woke up the next day, Lin Fan washed Gu Yue Na'er's face. Looking at her beautiful silver hair, he finally asked curiously, "Na'er, can you summon your Martial Soul...?"
"Martial Soul? I don't know..." Gu Yue Na'er looked at Lin Fan curiously with her lovely purple eyes.
Lin Fan then taught Gu Yue Na'er to focus her attention and slowly release her Martial Soul through her hand.
Although Gu Yue Na'er had sealed away her power, as long as she still had even a trace of Soul Power, she should be able to release a trace of the Silver Dragon King's aura.
"All right, Brother Xiao Fan, I'll try..." Following Lin Fan's instructions, Gu Yue Na'er extended her slender, tender little hand and began concentrating. After a while, a Silver Dragon Spear truly appeared in her hand.
At the same time, a silver dragon phantom appeared around Gu Yue Na'er's small body. A silver mark even appeared on her forehead, making her look incomparably holy and beautiful.
Damn, Lin Fan stared in stunned silence. Gu Yue and Na'er had merged! This Gu Yue Na'er was truly beautiful, and domineering as well. Though still so young, she held the Silver Dragon Spear in her hand, with a dragon phantom surrounding her body.
Combined with Gu Yue Na'er's long silver hair, she looked like a dragon maiden at that moment—beautiful, pure, and sacred.
"Brother Xiao Fan, I can't hold on anymore..." Gu Yue Na'er's face had turned somewhat pale. The next second, the Silver Dragon Spear vanished from her hand, and she collapsed onto the bed.
"Mm, good girl, Na'er. You'll definitely become even stronger than me someday. Now, I'll teach you how to cultivate..."
After teaching Gu Yue Na'er the cultivation method, Lin Fan stayed at the hotel for several days. Gu Yue Na'er's Soul Power Level rose to level nine. Her cultivation speed seemed incredibly fast; she had advanced a level in only a few short days.
Lin Fan also tried sparring with Gu Yue Na'er and discovered that although she had lost her memories, her body instinctively reacted powerfully in battle. Her dodges and attacks were extremely agile. Without using the Immortal-Slaying Divine Sword, Lin Fan, with his level eleven Soul Power, had actually nearly lost to Gu Yue Na'er.
Lin Fan stopped in time and did not continue fighting Gu Yue Na'er. He did not want to hurt her, and he was even more worried about triggering the sealed power inside her.
Gu Yue Na'er was still somewhat fragile. If part of the Silver Dragon King's power within her were awakened, it might cause her internal injuries to flare up again.
"Brother Xiao Fan, I don't know what happened either. I shouldn't know how to fight, but... my body seems to know how to fight on its own..."
Seeing Lin Fan knocked to the ground, Gu Yue Na'er hurried over, grabbed his hand, and spoke with an innocent expression.
Lin Fan was very satisfied. Smiling, he pinched Gu Yue Na'er's little cheek and said, "It's fine, Na'er. You're very powerful. Your mind just hasn't matured yet. I'll take good care of you..."
"Mm..." Gu Yue Na'er nodded happily.
A week later, Lin Fan left Lein City with Gu Yue Na'er and took a carriage with her toward Nuoding City.
Gu Yue Na'er was still level nine, but for her, how much innate Soul Power she had meant nothing at all. The full power of the Silver Dragon King already existed within her.
Calculating the time, Lin Fan thought that Xiao Wu should have arrived in Nuoding City by now as well.
The journey was long, and it took Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er an entire week to reach Nuoding City.
Lin Fan also brought Gu Yue Na'er to the Martial Soul Sub-Hall in Nuoding City and obtained a Martial Soul grade certificate. The next day, when Nuoding Junior Academy officially opened, Lin Fan brought Gu Yue Na'er there to enroll.
"Sorry, our academy's places are already full this year. Besides, you don't have enough money for the enrollment fees..."
The female admissions teacher looked Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er over, but after picking up and reading their Martial Soul assessment papers, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"A level eleven Soul Master, and another at level nine? Shouldn't you two have only awakened your Martial Souls this year?"
"Yes, my sister and I are both six this year..." Seeing hope, Lin Fan hurriedly said, "I'll give you all the money I have left. Can you let us enroll as working students?"
The female admissions teacher thought about it. She could not decide on places for regular students, but arranging spots for two working students was still within her power.
This female teacher was named Li Qian, and she was also a kind-hearted young woman. Smiling, she said, "All right. You and your sister are both very talented. You can't be kept from attending school because of tuition. I won't take the rest of your money either."
After Li Qian completed Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er's enrollment, she even gave them two sets of bedding and told them to go to Dorm Seven in the dormitory building, then attend the opening ceremony tomorrow.
Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er carried the bedding. Having such a small body made Lin Fan feel quite awkward, but he still smiled politely at Li Qian and said, "Thank you, Teacher..."
Li Qian smiled faintly as well. "You two, hurry to the dormitory. Your teacher will be keeping an eye on your studies from now on..."
Lin Fan was very happy to meet such a kind-hearted young woman. Carrying the bedding together with Gu Yue Na'er, he arrived at Dorm Seven. The moment he pushed open the door, he saw two children fighting.
One was a girl in pink clothing wearing rabbit ears, while the other was a little boy dressed in blue.
Lin Fan recognized her at a glance. This girl was Xiao Wu. She was even prettier and cuter as a child than she had been in the animation.
This little boy was Tang San. Tang San looked almost exactly the same as in the animation, with simple short hair and a blue outfit.
"What's going on this year? Two more working students came..." Wang Sheng said in surprise when he saw Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er enter.
At that moment, Xiao Wu and Tang San had already determined the winner. Tang San was kicked back several steps by Xiao Wu's fair, slender leg. With an awkward smile on his face, he said, "You won, Xiao Wu. From now on, you're the boss of Dorm Seven."
Xiao Wu swung her slender long leg and said proudly, "All right, then I'll be your boss from now on. You all have to call me Sister Xiao Wu..."
"All right, Sister Xiao Wu..." Tang San said helplessly, while the boys around him also called out, "Sister Xiao Wu."
At that moment, Wang Sheng hurried over to Xiao Wu and reminded her, "Sister Xiao Wu, look. Two more working students have come to the door, a boy and a girl. According to the dorm rules, you have to teach these two newcomers a lesson, or they might not listen to you..."
"Huh, two more?" Xiao Wu turned around. When she saw Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er, she blinked slightly.
Lin Fan looked at Xiao Wu as well. By now, he had changed clothes into an outfit matching the style of Douluo Continent. It had been nighttime in the Star Dou Great Forest, so he thought Xiao Wu probably would not recognize him.
Sure enough, Xiao Wu's gaze lingered on Lin Fan for only a moment before she curiously looked at Gu Yue Na'er beside him.
Xiao Wu found it strange. She sensed a familiar feeling from Gu Yue Na'er, yet it also seemed to be a feeling that made her somewhat afraid.
But Xiao Wu was not one to admit defeat. Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, she had always been the boss. She did not show the slightest hint of fear. Instead, she said with a grin, "According to the dorm rules, I'm the boss now. You two have to fight me. If you beat me, you can become the new boss. Which one of you wants to go first...?"
