Nuoding Academy? An Unusual Entrance

Ever since that night, Gu Changsheng's life had become extremely disciplined.

In the early morning, he cultivated the Concentration Mind Manual. This method of cultivating Mental Power was even more profound than he had imagined.

In the morning, he went to the fourth floor of the Library Pavilion to analyze and consult materials on ancient towns, Mental Power, and Martial Soul structures.

The afternoon, however, was the most punctual part of his schedule—and the time that gave her the greatest headache.

Because Xie Yue would appear at the Training Ground.

"Gu Changsheng, two hundred repetitions of the basic footwork today. Not one step less! Your body is too weak, and your stamina is too poor!"

Gu Changsheng fell silent whenever he heard this, because although the words were unpleasant, they were indeed reasonable.

Training only Mental Power without practicing physical techniques was definitely not enough.

Since the battle at the Training Ground that day, Bibi Dong had designated the four of them as the core of the Golden Generation.

Thus, they trained together every day.

Hu Liena stood to one side. Seeing Gu Changsheng's face turn pale from exhaustion while he stubbornly persisted without stopping, she could not help frowning.

"Brother, he is only six. Such high-intensity training..."

"I know he is six, which is why I cut the training load in half! Do you want him to do four hundred steps?"

"This..."

Hu Liena suddenly fell silent. She truly could not understand what her brother was thinking.

Yan stood in the distance with his arms crossed and snorted coldly.

"If he finds even this kind of basic training tiring, he should leave our team sooner or later! I never thought much of him to begin with!"

At that moment, Gu Changsheng happened to pass by him. Hearing that, he looked up and said with a smile,

"Senior Yan is absolutely right. For the practical training later, could I ask Senior to be a live target?"

Yan's face immediately darkened.

"Gu Changsheng! Don't push your luck."

Seeing this, Hu Liena could not help laughing.

Since the last battle at the Training Ground, although Yan remained unconvinced in words, he had never truly underestimated Gu Changsheng again.

He understood, of course, that this kid's Soul Power was indeed somewhat weak. However, that immensely powerful Mental Power and unusual analytical ability gave him combat strength on the academy level.

The four of them gradually grew accustomed to one another, and every seven days, Bibi Dong summoned them to a secret chamber to analyze and explain ancient scrolls.

Several months passed. The four had long since gone through their adjustment period, and now they got along quite peacefully.

One day, after Gu Changsheng finished training as usual and was preparing to return and rest, a maid blocked his path.

"Young Master Changsheng, His Holiness the Pope requests your presence."

Gu Changsheng was slightly stunned upon hearing this. He turned his head and realized that today was not the seventh day.

Yet he had no reason to refuse. He soon arrived at Pope Palace. The place was exceedingly quiet, and Bibi Dong sat upon a high seat with two secret reports in her hand.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood on either side, their expressions several degrees more solemn than usual.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng hurriedly bowed.

"Disciple greets Teacher!"

Bibi Dong raised her eyes and glanced at him.

"Rise!"

Then, with a push of her right hand, she attached Soul Power to the secret report carried by a bee and sent it before Gu Changsheng.

"Look at the information on it."

When he accepted and unfolded it, his gaze shifted slightly.

Because this secret report had come from Soul Hunting Hall.

It contained information that was extremely useful to Gu Changsheng.

[The outskirts of Star Dou Great Forest are suspected to contain traces of a Soul Book Demon. Its age is unknown, and its movements are extremely unstable!]

"A Soul Book Demon?"

As he asked this, his heart stirred. He had seen records of this Spirit Beast in the Library Pavilion before.

As a Mental Attribute Spirit Beast, it could not only record residual traces of Soul Skills and store them through spiritual patterns, but was also exceptionally compatible with his Myriad Heaven Book.

At that moment, Bibi Dong spoke indifferently.

"You have become a key cultivation target of Spirit Hall. As the Golden Generation's second Martial Soul, it cannot be chosen casually. If the existence of a Spirit Pattern Book Demon can be confirmed, This Emperor will have someone take you there."

Gu Changsheng was immensely excited upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Looking at Gu Changsheng before her, Bibi Dong did not immediately speak. Instead, she picked up the second secret report and continued reading the writing upon it.

She quietly read its contents, her gaze lingering on one particular name for a long time.

Gu Changsheng sensed the fluctuations in Bibi Dong's emotions. The change was slight, but he possessed the Myriad Heaven Book Martial Soul and could perceive even the tiniest movements.

"Read this letter as well..."

Gu Changsheng accepted the Secret Letter and slowly opened it once more. Its contents were brief.

[Nuoding City Junior Spirit Master Academy.

Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, innately full Soul Power.

Name: Tang San

Teacher: Yu Xiaogang]

When he saw the name Tang San, his expression froze slightly. Those two characters were far too familiar.

The entire Douluo Continent had been written with him at its center. Gu Changsheng had read the beginning and ending countless times. Was this the protagonist?

Gu Changsheng blinked lightly, seemingly recalling the moment Tang San became a god. An invisible pressure suddenly bore down upon him.

He had imagined countless possible scenes, but he had never expected that merely two words would leave him somewhat flustered.

"The pressure of Douluo Continent's protagonist?"

As that thought crossed his mind, he lowered his head slightly.

Bibi Dong's gaze, meanwhile, remained fixed on the three words Yu Xiaogang!

"Why aren't you speaking?"

Bibi Dong's voice suddenly broke the silence in the room.

When Gu Changsheng raised his head, the Myriad Heaven Book seemed to sense an unusual emotion.

[Target: Bibi Dong

Emotional fluctuation: Brief imbalance.

Keyword: Yu Xiaogang

Emotional inclination: Reminiscence, pain, repression, disgust...]

Gu Changsheng looked up at Bibi Dong, who was speaking to him. He naturally knew that she was asking about Tang San, not Yu Xiaogang.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke.

"Blue Silver Grass is a useless Martial Soul—that is the commonly accepted view across the continent. But if someone with Blue Silver Grass possesses innately full Soul Power, then there must be something extraordinary about him."

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded lightly at this. The judgment was not complicated; what was rare was that a six-year-old child could state it so calmly.

"What is extraordinary about him? What are your thoughts?"

When asked this, Gu Changsheng hardly even needed to speculate, because he knew Tang San's story too well.

"There are many possibilities. For example, his Blue Silver Grass may have undergone a special mutation. Or perhaps it is not his only Martial Soul. Or perhaps... his father and mother possess the same legendary-grade Blue Silver Grass as he does."

"Wait! The second possibility you mentioned—could it be that this is not his only Martial Soul? Can you determine that?"

Bibi Dong directly interrupted Gu Changsheng. The other possibilities were one thing, but the second possibility was simply too terrifying.

The words Twin Martial Souls carried far too much significance in the world of Martial Souls. Because she herself possessed Twin Martial Souls, she understood better than anyone what that conjecture implied.

Yet Gu Changsheng could not state it with absolute certainty. He knew that bringing up matters such as Clear Sky School and A Yin's bloodline would be far too outrageous; he might even end up in a desperate situation himself.

He could not make his words too absolute. He could only push things forward through indirect hints.

"This disciple is merely guessing, only a guess. If we wish to determine what is unusual about him, I fear this disciple will need to meet Tang San in person!"

The moment those words were spoken, everyone in the room exchanged glances, as though the air itself had solidified.

Everyone fell silent.

"Enough. Go back for now. This Emperor will arrange the Soul Hunting matter for you. Let us leave today's matter at that..."
