Cinderella Has Something to Say

The entire Soul Fighting Arena fell silent in an instant.

Everyone in the stands stared dumbfoundedly at the figure on the stage wearing a silver mask, codenamed White Fox.

He won?

A soul master with a fox martial soul had KO'd a level 13 Ice Wolf soul master.

The referee was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses and loudly announced, "The winner is White Fox!"

Cheers immediately erupted from the stands.

Lin Wan slowly withdrew his fist and stood in the center of the Soul Fighting Arena, breathing slightly heavily.

He glanced at Han Ya, who was curled up on the ground, and gained a clear understanding of the practical effects of the Soul Seizure soul skill.

It was incredibly domineering!

It was forced control. As long as someone came into contact with him, he could activate it instantly.

Combined with the strength and speed enhanced by his soul ring, it was enough to seriously injure opponents of the same rank or even slightly higher ranks.

Lin Wan walked off the Soul Fighting Arena, collected his prize money, and quickly left the arena.

Ever since Lin Wan finished his first soul fight in Frost City, he had come to compete at the Soul Fighting Arena from time to time.

Relying on his first soul skill, Lin Wan won most of the time.

Of course, there were clever people in the Soul Fighting Arena. After Lin Wan competed enough times, people figured out the effects of his first soul skill.

As a result, Lin Wan occasionally lost as well.

The combat classes at Frost City Junior Soul Master Academy taught the most basic and universally applicable fighting techniques.

Things like straight punches, hooks, kicks, dodges, and blocks.

Most of them were broad, open techniques that emphasized strength and basic transitions between offense and defense.

Lin Wan used these techniques to win his soul fights.

These techniques were certainly important, but they did not fully suit the agile, nimble traits bestowed upon him by his Nine-Heavens Beauty Fox martial soul.

Therefore, after every soul fight, Lin Wan reviewed his performance and considered how to improve his hand-to-hand combat and fighting techniques.

He thought of Xiao Wu, the original story's female lead. In Lin Wan's view, her Waist Bow and Eight-Stage Explosive Throw were excellent reference models.

Xiao Wu's martial soul was the Soft-Bone Charming Rabbit, and her strength was not particularly great.

Thus, she relied on her body's flexibility to generate explosive power in an instant.

She had consequently developed a close-combat killing art filled with her own personal style.

Lin Wan's Nine-Heavens Beauty Fox martial soul was similar to Xiao Wu's. It did not emphasize strength either, mainly providing Lin Wan with a flexible physique, agile speed, and extremely strong control.

So he was considering how to maximize the advantages of his martial soul and develop a close-combat fighting style suited to his own characteristics.

Lin Wan now regretted not learning martial arts like jujitsu or sanda in his previous life.

If he had known he would transmigrate, he definitely would have learned a little of everything.

Instead of having to figure it all out himself now.

Lin Wan had also considered asking the academy's teachers, but after thinking it over, he abandoned the idea.

The main reason was that combat on Douluo Continent currently relied primarily on soul skills for attacks.

There was no systematic fighting art at all. The academy only taught fighting techniques now because they had basically not yet acquired soul skills.

By the higher grades, the academy no longer offered fighting techniques as a course, replacing it with sparring through soul skills.

Unlike the academy, however, the Soul Fighting Arena gathered all kinds of soul masters and was filled with strange martial souls and combat styles, making it a place that could provide him with plenty of inspiration.

Thus, in the days that followed, Lin Wan's life became a simple routine: academy—Soul Fighting Arena.

At the academy, aside from the classes he had to attend, Lin Wan spent most of his time cultivating in the library or in secluded places.

After sitting through some first-year classes, he discovered that the knowledge was far too basic. With the level of a college student from his previous life, he could understand it just by reading the books.

Fortunately, the junior academy only had relatively many classes during the first two years, since those two years were needed to teach the children who had just awakened their martial souls how to read.

Lin Wan had something to say about that.

He had been too busy surviving before and had completely failed to realize that the writing on Douluo Continent differed from that of his previous life.

So now, he still had to learn how to read.

Every day when he went to the library, he had to bring a dictionary with him. Otherwise, he simply could not recognize the words.

Fortunately, Douluo Continent did not place much value on literature, so they did not have many commonly used characters.

That counted as good news for Lin Wan. In just a little while, he would have learned all the commonly used characters on Douluo Continent.

Then the doors of Frost City Junior Soul Master Academy's library would be completely open to him.

Thinking of this, he could not help throwing back his head and laughing.

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Little library, soon I'll be able to see every inch of you."

Besides that, Lin Wan still went to the Soul Fighting Arena to compete at least once a week.

He did not want to become someone who could only attack with soul skills. He wanted to become a mage whose fists struck flesh.

The graduation requirement for junior soul master academies on Douluo Continent was to obtain a soul ring, and Frost City Junior Soul Master Academy was no exception.

Students could generally apply to graduate after obtaining a soul ring, then enroll in an intermediate soul master academy.

Frost City was only a small city in the Far North. It had only a junior soul master academy, with no intermediate or advanced soul master academies.

Therefore, students who graduated from Frost City Junior Soul Master Academy and wished to advance further could only go to Ice Academy, the closest academy to Frost City.

At Lin Wan's current level, he could completely apply for graduation immediately and enroll in an intermediate soul master academy.

However, intermediate and advanced academies both had soul power level requirements for admission, generally at least level 15.

This meant that talented students could enroll early, while less talented students could only cultivate step by step.

Therefore, Lin Wan could only remain in Frost City for now. He planned to cultivate for a few more years.

Once his soul power level met the requirements, he would head straight for Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

In Lin Wan's view, among all advanced soul master academies, the imperial academies of the two great empires were the wealthiest.

If he could have a better cultivation environment, why choose an inferior one?

Besides, Lin Wan had another reason for choosing Heaven Dou Imperial Academy: Eva, the most powerful queen the system had drawn so far, was in Heaven Dou City.

Once he went to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Lin Wan could rely on Queen Eva.

Moreover, to gain reputation points, he had to become famous. Compared with other places, Lin Wan would definitely find it easier to gain reputation points in Heaven Dou City.

Just a few days ago, Lin Wan had held another draw.

He spent all the reputation points he had accumulated in one go, and it let him draw quite a few fairy-tale characters.

However, Lin Wan left all those fairy-tale characters to fend for themselves. He directly had the system randomly place them.

Lin Wan believed that the system would make good arrangements for the fairy-tale characters.

As for the system's placement, Cinderella had something to say.
