Heaven Dou Empire!

Fasinuo Province!

Nuoding City!

A six-year-old little boy held a martial soul certificate in his hand, humming a cheerful little tune.

"♬What is baby doing~mua~you there~are you asleep~what is baby doing~why aren't you replying~"

Leaving the Spirit Hall Branch, the little boy hummed a song while walking toward his home.

The little boy was named Jun Lin, and he was a transmigrator from Blue Star.

In his previous life, he was a web novel author,

frequently staying up late typing chapters for his readers.

Then... he died suddenly.

Facts proved that one cannot stay up late.

Perhaps the legendary Meng Po soup had expired, and he was reincarnated into the Douluo Continent with the memories of his past life.

Regarding his ability to transmigrate to the Douluo Continent,

Jun Lin expressed, "Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it."

Although the Douluo Continent was mocked by netizens in his previous life as the baseline of fantasy, frequently questioning the weakness of the Douluo God Realm.

Yet one point had to be acknowledged: the "Life-Everlasting Substance" of the Douluo God Realm was definitely abundant beyond imagination!

The one hundred and eight lower-plane minor worlds governed by the Douluo God Realm, including the Douluo World.

As long as one became a god, even if it were only the weakest hunting god envoy or God Official, they could possess the attribute of eternal life.

If certain beings of dark turmoil were to find out about this, they would probably be envious to the point of madness.

However, as everyone knew, the protagonists' parents were indeed a high-risk occupation.

Jun Lin's parents were both of commoner origin, and their strength was merely that of tiny three-ring Soul Elders.

Placed in a remote small city like Nuoding City, they could still be considered somewhat prominent figures.

If cast across the entire Douluo Continent, however, they amounted to nothing at all.

Jun Lin's family's primary source of income relied on his parents working as mercenaries in the Soul Hunting Forest, helping others hunt ten-year or hundred-year spirit beasts to obtain compensation.

After deducting daily necessities and cultivation expenses, they had also saved some spare cash.

Just like that, Jun Lin's two parents perished during a mercenary expedition the previous year.

Time passed quickly; a kun month had already elapsed since the awakening of his martial souls.

It was late autumn, with falling leaves dancing in the wind.

The small courtyard was already covered with withered leaves at this moment.

Today was the enrollment day of Nuoding Academy. Near noon, Jun Lin packed his things, locked his front door, and walked toward Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

Nuoding City was not large either, and a dozen minutes later, Jun Lin saw Notting Junior Soul Master Academy in the distance.

Looking at the huge arched gate of Nuoding Academy built from granite, Jun Lin muttered to himself, "How much kickbacks did this principal take?"

Because Jun Lin's parents had a relatively good reputation in Nuoding City, he did not receive the treatment of Tang San from the original work; after showing the martial soul certificate, he entered Nuoding Academy very easily.

Following the guidance of the doorman, Jun Lin came to the academic affairs office to register.

Inside the academic affairs office, there was a middle-aged man around thirty-some years old and two young men.

"Excuse me, is this where I register?"

As soon as he entered the door, Jun Lin asked the three of them.

"That's right, this is where you register and sign up. You can call me Director Su. Little fellow, let me see your martial soul certificate."

The teacher in charge of receiving new students was that teacher in his thirties.

"Here."

Jun Lin placed the martial soul certificate on the table, and with a childish voice, said to that teacher:

"Teacher, this is my martial soul certificate. Sorry for the trouble, please help me register it."

That teacher looked Jun Lin up and down, and then took the martial soul certificate.

Not looking didn't matter, but upon looking, his eyes instantly lit up.

Mutated martial soul, "Blue Light", Innate Full Soul Power, trash martial soul?

"Your name is Jun Lin, right? Can you show me your martial soul?" Director Su looked at Jun Lin with a gentle gaze.

Jun Lin nodded, raised his right hand, and released the Blue Light martial soul.

"It really is a mutated martial soul. What a pity, it's just a faint blue ball of light."

Director Su looked at Jun Lin's martial soul and muttered to himself.

Innate Full Soul Power, a talent like that, even in the history of Nuoding Academy, made one a once-in-a-century genius.

That was because anyone whose Innate Soul Power reached level five or above had mostly joined Spirit Hall.

Perhaps precisely because it was a trash Martial Soul, it had not caught Spirit Hall's eye, which was why he came to Nuoding Academy.

Director Su smiled at Jun Lin while registering him. "Your name is Jun Lin, right? Do you have a work-study student quota?"

"No, my family is from Nuoding City."

Jun Lin shook his head.

"Oh? That means you are Jun An and Mulan's son?"

Director Su's eyes lit up.

"Mm, yes, Director Su. Is there something you needed?"

Jun Lin had not expected Director Su to ask about his parents.

"Your mother and father were classmates of mine, back in the day... I just never expected... Ah~~ Well, never mind, it's all in the past so I won't mention it. I'll get you registered right now."

Seeing that Jun Lin remained silent, Director Su realized he had touched upon a sore spot and quickly changed the subject.

"I've finished your registration info, Jun Lin, but since you aren't a work-study student, you'll have to pay five Gold Soul Coins in tuition every year. Of course, correspondingly, your living conditions will be much better, and you can enjoy a double room."

"Thank you, Director Su. Here is the registration fee."

Jun Lin readily agreed, raising his right hand to make a show of reaching into his chest, taking five Gold Soul Coins out of the Soul Tool hidden in his sleeve.

This was a Soul Tool left behind by his parents, and it still held hundreds of Gold Soul Coins inside. Five Gold Soul Coins a year was something he could easily afford, not to mention that once he became a Soul Master, he could receive a monthly stipend from Spirit Hall, meaning he did not need to worry about money for a short while.

"Haha, never mind the registration fee, I've covered it for you."

Director Su said heartily. To him, this Nuoding Academy was basically his family's place anyway; whether or not to collect five Gold Soul Coins was entirely up to a single word from him.

Besides, Jun Lin was the orphan of his old classmate, so there was still a bit of a connection there.

Just as Director Su was chatting with Jun Lin, a crisp voice rang out inside the office. "Hello, is this where you register?"

Immediately, the four people inside the office shifted their gazes to the doorway.

They saw a girl with long, azure-blue hair standing at the door. Her pretty little face was glowing with a white-and-pink flush, looking soft and tender like a ripe peach.

Her long hair fell past her waist, and she wore a blue dress. A pair of watery, wide eyes brimmed with curiosity. She looked gently toward the people in the academic affairs office, her lovely eyes flashing with brilliant light as she glanced around, a soft, gentle smile resting on her red lips.

However, right at that moment, an abrupt female voice sounded in Jun Lin's head:

Ding~ Key figure of the Douluo World detected, system officially activating... Ding~ System energy extraction successful~~ System charging complete! Ding~ System binding in progress~~ System binding successful! Ding~ Wish-Point System at your service!

"???"

Jun Lin...
