My Name Is Luo Mian, and I'm a Genius!

"Sisi, my treat. Let's go eat."

Su Yuntao looked ingratiatingly at the woman beside him as he spoke.

"I don't really have time."

The woman named Sisi casually spoke while examining the new bracelet on her wrist.

"Um, excuse me. I'd like to awaken my Martial Soul."

"Awaken a Martial Soul... You really came at the wrong time."

"Kid, come with me. Sisi, wait for me a moment."

Su Yuntao frowned, then hurriedly pulled Qin Qi toward another room.

"In a moment, an old man will help you awaken your Martial Soul. Do whatever he tells you to do."

"Alright, this is the place. Go in. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first."

Su Yuntao brought Qin Qi to the Martial Soul Awakening Room, then hurried back.

"His back looks like that of a desperate simp. At least you're a presentable Soul Master. Do you really have to grovel this much?"

"She obviously isn't interested in you. Why are you rushing to humiliate yourself?"

"You should know that, in another world, you were known as the Blind God King."

"If your fans saw this, wouldn't it be utterly embarrassing?"

Qin Qi shook his head and entered the room. Inside was a kindly-looking old man.

"Child, what can I do for you?"

The elderly Soul Master Ma Xiunuo looked at Qin Qi and spoke with a benevolent expression.

"I came to awaken my Martial Soul. A big brother told me to find you."

Qin Qi put on an obedient expression and stepped forward to speak.

"A big brother... That brat Su Yuntao?"

Ma Xiunuo walked to the doorway and looked outside, where he happened to see Su Yuntao and Sisi.

"Sigh, Su Yuntao is a good kid, but love has muddled his mind. Sisi is a good child too, but her standards are high. The two of them aren't suited for each other."

Ma Xiunuo shook his head. With the guarantee of his decades of life experience, he knew those two would definitely break up one day.

By then, Su Yuntao would probably cry like a drowned dog again.

"Come in, child. I'll help awaken your Martial Soul."

Ma Xiunuo had Qin Qi enter the room and began the Martial Soul awakening.

Qin Qi first used the killer move Boundless Sea and Sky from the Thieving Heaven Inheritance to suppress his Soul Power.

This move had been modified by the Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable from the Law Dao, embodying the idea that taking a step back revealed a boundless sea and sky.

When facing Heavenly Tribulation, it was a method of actively sealing one's Immortal Aperture, reducing calamities and tribulations, and accumulating Dao Marks.

But for Qin Qi, it was simply a way to suppress his Soul Power and disguise himself.

As the Martial Soul awakening began, a Golden Saint Dragon emerged behind Qin Qi and let out a roar.

"Dragon! This isn't an ordinary Martial Soul!"

"Child, test your Soul Power."

Ma Xiunuo looked at the Golden Saint Dragon behind Qin Qi with astonishment.

Although the type of Martial Soul could not determine the level of Soul Power, a Martial Soul related to dragons certainly would not grant little Soul Power.

"Alright."

Qin Qi slowly placed his hand on the crystal ball, and it began to glow.

"Innate Full Soul Power!"

Ma Xiunuo's mouth fell open. Innate Full Soul Power—this Martial Soul had to be a top-tier Martial Soul!

This child's future achievements would certainly not be low!

"This is it. Everything I didn't get to enjoy before, I'm enjoying now."

Qin Qi could not help laughing inwardly. During his previous Martial Soul awakening, others had comforted him.

But now, I'll take back everything I lost, even though I never lost anything.

Formless Hand, emerge!

"Child, would you like to join Spirit Hall?"

"If you join our Spirit Hall, you'll definitely receive excellent treatment. You won't need to worry about lodging or food."

"You won't need to worry about resources, either."

Ma Xiunuo immediately extended an invitation.

"Um... I'm sorry, Grandpa. Could you let me think about it?"

Qin Qi put on a troubled expression, but he had absolutely no intention of going.

It was not that Spirit Hall was particularly bad. He simply did not dare go!

His current disguise might fool low-level Soul Masters, but it would definitely be insufficient before high-level Soul Masters.

And Spirit Hall was all about the glory of angels. If his Formless Hand were discovered and they labeled him a fallen Soul Master, he would be finished.

He absolutely could not go to Spirit Hall. It was a dragon's pool and tiger's den!

"It's alright, child. Take your time to think about it. So long as you wish to come, Spirit Hall's doors will always be open to you. What is your name?"

Ma Xiunuo's smile remained kind as he asked.

"My name is... Luo Mian."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Qi made up a name for himself.

"Luo Mian, then. Innate Full Soul Power, Martial Soul... Child, what is your Martial Soul called?"

Ma Xiunuo looked at Qin Qi and asked.

"It's called the Golden Saint Dragon."

Qin Qi answered without hesitation.

"Golden Saint Dragon. A good name, a good name."

Ma Xiunuo recorded it, then issued Qin Qi a Spirit Hall certificate.

"Congratulations, little Luo Mian. You have now officially embarked upon the path of a Soul Master."

Ma Xiunuo spoke.

"Then thank you, Grandpa. If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

After politely exchanging a few words, Qin Qi left. At the door, he turned back for another look.

"Spirit Hall is still too humane. They actually let a genius like me leave."

"If this were another faction, like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I'd probably already be courting death."

"But what a pity. Bibi Dong is a lovesick fool and a crazy woman."

Qin Qi shook his head. He felt that Yu Xiaogang was truly awful; this bastard was responsible for the catastrophe that had befallen the entire continent.

"My new identity is ready. Later, I'll find an opportunity to get a Soul Ring, then I can collect the Soul Master subsidy."

"Once I have the subsidy, I'll buy Whale Rubber."

"Mm, I still need to go to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain Soul Rings."

Without changing identities, Qin Qi headed directly to the Soul Hunting Forest in Luo Mian's appearance.

Meanwhile, at the academy, Yu Xiaogang was trembling in his room.

"Luo Sanpao, come out!"

"Luo Sanpao! Luo Sanpao! Luo Sanpao!"

Yu Xiaogang stared in terror as Luo Sanpao failed to appear no matter how he summoned him.

His Martial Soul had disappeared, and one of his Soul Rings had disappeared as well!

"This must be a dream. It has to be a dream!"

"How could a Martial Soul vanish out of thin air? How could a Soul Ring disappear?!"

"This must all be a dream!"

Yu Xiaogang fiercely pinched his thigh. The intense pain flooding his mind proved that this was not a dream.

"No, no!"

"Luo Sanpao, come back. I'll never despise you again!"

"Luo Sanpao, boohoohoo."

Yu Xiaogang could not help bursting into loud sobs, but then he abruptly stood up.

"No, no one can find out about this! If they do, I definitely won't have a good end!"

Yu Xiaogang was terrified. If others discovered that his Martial Soul had vanished—

Notting Academy would certainly no longer keep a cripple like him, and nowhere else would accept him either.

Worse still, some factions might kidnap him and study him!

Just as Yu Xiaogang trembled in fear, someone knocked on his door, and Tang San's voice sounded from outside.
