Journey to Nuoding Academy

[Congratulations, Host, for successfully changing Tang San's fate. Reward: Imitation Martial Soul Mirror]

Yang Feng stared at the four words, unable to understand what kind of ability the system was trying to tell him about, though he still looked forward to it.

Although this Martial Soul's ability was not one of the powerful, common Martial Souls he had seen in the original Douluo novel in his previous life, such as the Clear Sky Hammer or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Martial Soul.

Could the newcomer gift package awarded by the system possibly be weaker than Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer?

That was simply impossible.

[The Imitation Martial Soul Mirror can copy the powerful Martial Souls of others. Without cultivation, it can reach the opponent's Martial Soul realm.]

[In other words, the stronger the opponents it encounters, the more powerful it becomes.]

"My goodness, if I run into a Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent and use my Martial Soul to copy and store theirs, wouldn't I have the strength of a Titled Douluo?"

[The Host's Martial Soul is currently the beginner-level Imitation Martial Soul Mirror. It is a growth-type Martial Soul; the higher its level, the fewer restrictions it will have.]

[The Host must alter the original plot through the diary to obtain system rewards and increase personal strength. No other method can improve the Martial Soul's abilities.]

[Restriction: There is currently only one available stored Martial Soul slot.]

[If the Host wishes to continue copying other Martial Soul abilities, the previously copied Martial Soul ability will be forgotten.]

[The Host can currently only copy Martial Souls from Nuoding Academy. The more the original plot is rewritten, the more types of Martial Souls will become available.]

Yang Feng nearly broke down as he read the system's explanation.

"No way, this system really has way too many restrictions!"

"I can't directly copy the strongest person's Martial Soul. My current situation isn't particularly secure, and I'm not particularly strong either."

[Introduction complete. The system will now officially unlock the Host's Martial Soul.]

[Currently activating: Imitation Martial Soul Mirror ability.]

In an instant, Yang Feng felt an intense heat flow through his body and spread into his arms.

This was a sense of power Yang Feng had never possessed in the six years since he had transmigrated.

Yang Feng extended his right hand and began trying to summon the Martial Soul that the system had awakened for him.

A burst of dazzling white light spread from Yang Feng's palm.

After the white light faded, a mirror floated above Yang Feng's palm.

Looking at the Martial Soul before him, Yang Feng's lips curled upward so high they could have pressed down an AK's dust cover.

"Yang Feng, today is the day you're heading to Nuoding Academy. How are your preparations?"

Before long, Old Jack's voice interrupted Yang Feng's thoughts.

"Yang Feng, Tang San and Master Su have gone to Spirit Hall, so this year's work-study student spot at Nuoding Academy goes to you."

"Right now, you're the only child in the village suitable for Nuoding Academy. The other children's Martial Souls are too weak."

"Master Su specifically entrusted me with sending you to Nuoding Academy before he left."

He gave Yang Feng the new clothes for attending Nuoding Academy as a work-study student and had him put them on.

"Not bad. These clothes fit you very well."

"Yang Feng, you look energetic and handsome in this outfit."

"Alright, today is also the start of Nuoding Academy's new school year. Hurry up and go to school."

Old Jack stood at the entrance of the village, watching Yang Feng head toward Nuoding Academy.

Watching the two children from the village whom he had raised with his own hands each find their own path and leave the small village, Old Jack wore a gratified expression.

"Grandpa Old Jack, I will make something of myself. Don't worry. When I become successful in the future, I'll take care of you in your old age and see you through to the end." Yang Feng's resolute gaze revealed an unshakable determination.

Nuoding Academy.

Yang Feng arrived inside the academy, and the first thing he saw was the academy buildings, recreated even more faithfully than in the anime.

In the anime, Nuoding Academy had seemed like just an ordinary academy on the Douluo Continent.

But standing inside it in person, Yang Feng could not help feeling awed.

Feeling a little bored, Yang Feng decided to use the system's diary-writing ability.

He would change Xiao Wu's perception of Tang San's past and expose Tang San's true face as a hypocrite.

[The system is writing a diary for Xiao Wu.]

[Current system entry: diary written for Xiao Wu.]

[Content: The blue-haired Tang San is currently at Spirit Hall. In the future, he will be a petty man who acts one way in public and another in private. Do not be deceived by his sweet talk, fall in love with Tang San, and ultimately lose your life.]

[Content is being transmitted... Please wait!]

[The diary content has been delivered to Xiao Wu's side. Command completed.]

After Yang Feng checked the diary's contents once more,

"Mm, not only have I diverted Tang San away from Nuoding Academy,"

"but now I can gather the Shrek Seven Devils' teammates at Nuoding Academy. Next, I'll stomp on Yu Xiaogang and take down Tang San—it won't be just a dream!"

After all, besides the diary granted by the system, he also had the Martial Soul rewarded by the system.

Getting through the academy's initial tests would naturally be no problem for now.

Inside Nuoding Academy.

Xiao Wu was taking a walk around Nuoding Academy.

"Boom—"

A notebook fell out of thin air in front of Xiao Wu. With swift movements, she instantly dodged aside.

"Ow, what is this strange thing? Just an ordinary diary?" Xiao Wu's face was full of bewilderment.

"But the contents of this diary are a little strange!"

"Could this be a diary that predicts the future? How strange!"

Xiao Wu looked at the strange diary's contents. "I will fall in love with a blue-haired young man and give my life for him."

"It seems I should avoid coming into contact with this person called Tang San, the blue-haired man, in the future."

Though she still did not quite believe it, Xiao Wu decided that it was better to believe it than not.

She planned to store it away first and verify later whether what the notebook said was true or false.

Just as Xiao Wu was about to put the notebook away, it vanished from her hand into thin air, as though it had never existed.

"Eh? What happened today is really strange!"

At the same time, Yu Xiaogang found Yang Feng, who had received Holy Soul Village's work-study student spot for the year.

"Are you the child from Holy Soul Village attending as a work-study student this year?"

Yu Xiaogang began sizing up Yang Feng's strength.

"We only recruit children with monster-like, powerful Martial Souls here. They are called Soul Masters."

"If your strength isn't up to standard, you'll be expelled!"

Yang Feng looked at the thin, lightly dressed middle-aged man before him. He appeared to be around forty or fifty, dressed simply, with short black hair parted seven-three, an ordinary face, broad and thick lips, and fine wrinkles covering his face.

Yet the way he spoke and stood before Yang Feng made him somewhat intimidating.

Yang Feng was just about to ask whether he was Yu Xiaogang of Nuoding Academy.

Hearing the commotion and seeing Yu Xiaogang scolding a newly arrived student, Xiao Wu decided to help the new student out.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Wu—the Wu from dancing." Xiao Wu waved as she greeted Yang Feng.

Then she grabbed Yang Feng's arm and pulled him away from Yu Xiaogang.
