Nuoding Academy's central grounds.

Xiao Wu pulled the newly arrived student, Yang Feng, along at a run, escaping Yu Xiaogang's nagging.

"Master Yu Xiaogang is just like that, always looking solemn and proper. Don't take it too seriously."

"It's fine. By the way, you still haven't told me your name!"

Seeing Xiao Wu in this world, Yang Feng could barely suppress the excitement in his heart.

Xiao Wu wore a pink dress. As they had run just now, her hair had brushed across his face.

It made Yang Feng's nose itch a little.

Yang Feng rubbed his nose and said seriously,

"My name is Yang Feng. I'm very happy to meet you at the academy, Xiao Wu!"

"You don't know much about Nuoding Academy yet, do you? I'll show you around and give you a general introduction!"

Looking at Yang Feng, the work-study student from Holy Soul Village who seemed to know nothing at all, Xiao Wu could not help wanting to laugh.

Why did he seem as though he had never seen anything before? People like that were quite rare these days!

Xiao Wu covered her mouth at the side, trying hard not to laugh.

"Xiao Wu, what are you laughing at?" Yang Feng asked somewhat puzzledly.

"Nothing. I just think you're a pretty interesting person."

"I don't mean anything else by it!"

Yang Feng looked at Xiao Wu. Though she bore him no ill will, she was quite different in many subtle ways from the Xiao Wu he remembered from the original story.

Could it be that his changes to the original plot had caused this world's timeline to shift?

Still, as a transmigrator, Yang Feng could accept that.

"Xiao Wu, I haven't registered as a new student yet. Can you take me there now?"

"Ah! So Yu Xiaogang didn't make things difficult for you just now. I thought..." Xiao Wu walked ahead, leading him toward the new student registration office.

Yu Xiaogang remained where he was, figuring that Yang Feng would have to return the same way.

So he waited at the new student registration office for Xiao Wu to finish showing him around the academy.

The academy student registration office.

Before long, Xiao Wu brought Yang Feng back to the new student registration desk.

"Xiao Wu, you dragged the new student away too quickly. His information hasn't been registered yet!"

"Yang Feng, hurry and enter your student information."

Yang Feng registered the work-study student certificate that Old Jack had given him on behalf of the village at the new student registration desk.

Yu Xiaogang scratched his head and stared at Yang Feng, the newly enrolled student, wondering what special talent he possessed.

He had actually been recommended by Su Yuntao. Unfortunately, there was that boy named Tang San. If I took someone with Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power as my disciple, my reputation would surely soar.

Yang Feng was also observing Yu Xiaogang, wondering what schemes he was harboring.

Was Yu Xiaogang assessing his strength and holding a grudge over what had happened earlier?

Could he be planning to find an excuse to drive him away?

Luckily, the system had given me an Innate Full Soul Power Martial Soul. Otherwise, Xiaogang would have sent me back to Holy Soul Village.

"Yang Feng, I heard that your Martial Soul strength hasn't been tested yet. Today, I'll test what kind of Martial Soul you have!"

Just as expected.

Yu Xiaogang still doubted the abilities of his own Martial Soul.

"This Martial Soul test is very simple, so don't worry."

"The brightness produced when you place your hand on the crystal ball represents the strength of your Martial Soul. Don't be too nervous."

Yu Xiaogang had rushed to the entrance of Nuoding Academy because Su Yuntao had only tested Tang San.

Yang Feng had been sent to Nuoding Academy without undergoing a Martial Soul test, so he had come to test Tang San's strength.

Yu Xiaogang did not want Nuoding Academy to have a weak student who constantly held everyone back.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang also wanted to see whether Holy Soul Village would produce another Innate Full Soul Power this year.

After all, Tang San had awakened Innate Full Soul Power in Holy Soul Village, and the surrounding villages and academies all knew about it.

Since Yang Feng had been recommended as a work-study student from Holy Soul Village, his strength had to be extraordinary as well.

"Yang Feng, once you're ready, I'll begin preparing the Martial Soul testing ritual."

"Alright, I'm ready to begin testing my Soul Power."

Yu Xiaogang took out the crystal ball used to test Soul Power and held it before Yang Feng, wanting to gauge just how strong he was.

The crystal ball emitted dazzling white light in the next instant, illuminating all of Nuoding Academy at once.

Even in broad daylight, the crystal ball's intense light made the academy students unable to open their eyes for a short while.

"What? Innate Full Soul Power?" Yu Xiaogang looked shocked as a bead of sweat slid down his cheek.

Yang Feng then began trying to summon the Imitation Martial Soul Mirror given to him by the system. Douluo Continent had never seen this kind of Martial Soul before, so Yu Xiaogang probably would not be too suspicious.

He would likely classify it as a Mutated Martial Soul, so there was nothing to worry about.

Though Mutated Martial Souls were uncommon in this world, cases of Martial Soul mutations did exist.

"What? Besides Tang San having Innate Full Soul Power this year in Holy Soul Village, that little village actually has another student with Innate Full Soul Power, Yang Feng?"

Seeing Yang Feng's Soul Power, Yu Xiaogang was so excited that he could barely speak.

Xiao Wu wore an astonished expression, though she was even more excited.

"Look at his Martial Soul! Why have I never seen it before?"

"Could this Martial Soul be a Mutated Martial Soul? It doesn't look like any common powerful Martial Soul."

The voices in the academy reminded Yu Xiaogang to begin pondering what kind of Martial Soul Yang Feng had awakened.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Xiaogang spoke.

"What? Your Martial Soul is a rare Mutated Martial Soul!"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes looked as though they were about to pop out of their sockets.

His hands instinctively began applauding Yang Feng, prompting the surrounding academy students to applaud as well.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's behavior, Yang Feng found that it was exactly as he had expected.

If someone awakened a strong Martial Soul and possessed great talent, Yu Xiaogang would praise him extravagantly so he could take him as a disciple.

Conversely, if Yang Feng had an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, or ordinary Martial Souls like a hoe or wooden stick,

he definitely would not even have been allowed to stay overnight at Nuoding Academy.

Yu Xiaogang's calculations were clattering loudly right in front of Yang Feng.

Yu Xiaogang saw Yang Feng's potential and planned to help him find a Soul Beast for his first Soul Ring.

"Yang Feng, your Martial Soul doesn't have a Soul Ring yet. Next, I'll take you into the Star Dou Great Forest and help you obtain your first Soul Ring."

Xiao Wu watched Yu Xiaogang, who usually kept a stern face, and felt a wave of disgust in her heart.

Yang Feng found that Yu Xiaogang's words did make sense.

He truly needed to obtain a Soul Ring to improve his abilities.

"Alright! I can go with you, but I still need to think over your offer to take me as a disciple!"

Seeing that Yang Feng had not refused outright, Yu Xiaogang smiled broadly.

"Good, good, good. We'll definitely catch a powerful Soul Beast for Student Yang Feng to use as his first Soul Ring."

Xiao Wu curled her lips. "Teacher, can I go with you? If we go together, we can catch a Soul Beast for Yang Feng more easily."

Yu Xiaogang nodded. "Fine. We'll do as you say and go to the Star Dou Great Forest together."
