Douluo: My System is Too Awesome!

After arriving in Nuoding City, Bai Ye had the coachman drive the carriage back to Spirit City.

Since he had carefully calculated the timing and left Spirit City ahead of schedule, there were still one or two days before Nuoding Academy officially began classes when he arrived in Nuoding City.

For the next day or two, Bai Ye planned to find an inn in Nuoding City and wait until Nuoding Academy opened before going to register.

A day or two passed in the blink of an eye, and finally, the day Nuoding Academy began classes arrived.

That day, Bai Ye did not rush to Nuoding Academy. Instead, he stayed at the inn until it was nearly noon before setting off for Nuoding Academy.

The reason he was going so late was because Bai Ye wanted to see whether he could have a chance encounter with Xiao Wu.

Of all the things Bai Ye remembered most clearly about Nuoding Academy from the novel, one was its snobbish gatekeeper.

In the original story, Xiao Wu did not seem to have been deliberately harassed by the gatekeeper.

But considering that Xiao Wu had arrived at Nuoding Academy after Tang San, perhaps the gatekeeper had learned his lesson from Tang San and thus did not dare make trouble for Xiao Wu.

Yet because of his influence, Tang San and Tang Hao had long since fled.

Now that Tang San was gone, Xiao Wu might very well be harassed by the gatekeeper when she came to Nuoding Academy.

Wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity for him to step forward and play the hero saving the beauty?

Bai Ye thought happily to himself.

Of course, given Xiao Wu's personality.

This sort of hero saving the beauty might not necessarily work, but some things were better done than left undone.

Besides, Bai Ye had long found this gatekeeper of Nuoding Academy unpleasant to look at.

He could use Xiao Wu as an excuse to teach him a lesson!

Before long, Bai Ye arrived near Nuoding Academy.

Standing on the street and looking at Nuoding Academy from afar, the situation near its gates was clearly reflected in Bai Ye's Star Extremity Divine Eyes.

Nuoding Academy before him was surrounded by a circle of snow-white plastered walls. The walls were over three meters high and about a palm's breadth thick.

Directly ahead stood Nuoding Academy's gate, an archway over twenty meters tall and more than ten meters wide, with a pair of iron-barred gates beneath it.

Above the archway was a line of large characters: Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy!

"Looks pretty decent!"

After seeing Nuoding Academy, just as Bai Ye was about to head over, he suddenly noticed that a father and son, along with a little girl, were walking one after another toward Nuoding Academy.

"Xiao Wu?!"

When he saw the little girl ahead dressed in a simple skirt, with long, glossy black hair braided into a scorpion-tail braid that hung down her back, her delicate, adorable features—especially her large eyes and rosy little face—making her look exceptionally innocent and naïve.

Though he did not know her personally, Bai Ye recognized at a glance from the scorpion-tail braid that this girl had to be the Xiao Wu he was waiting for!

My luck is pretty good. I ran into Xiao Wu right away.

He had thought he might have to wait a while longer for Xiao Wu, but he had unexpectedly encountered her immediately. Delighted, Bai Ye quickened his pace toward Nuoding Academy.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Nuoding Academy.

"This is my son's Spirit Awakening Certificate..."

Ahead of Xiao Wu, a middle-aged man dressed in hemp clothes had brought a little boy to the gates of Nuoding Academy.

He immediately bowed and scraped as he handed over his son's Spirit Awakening Certificate, then discreetly pulled out several silver spirit coins and slipped them into the gatekeeper's pocket.

The gatekeeper casually accepted the Spirit Awakening Certificate without even looking through it much. But after receiving the silver spirit coins from the middle-aged man, he could not help breaking into a grin.

He then casually flipped through the certificate. After confirming that the child before him did indeed possess Soul Power, he waved his hand and allowed the middle-aged man to take his son inside.

"Alright, you may enter!"

After the middle-aged man led his son inside, Xiao Wu followed and was about to enter as well.

But the gatekeeper stopped her.

"Where did this little girl come from? Don't you know the rules? Show me your Spirit Awakening Certificate first. This is Nuoding Academy, not a place anyone can enter whenever they please."

At the sight of Xiao Wu, the gatekeeper immediately frowned. He waved his right hand at her and said impatiently.

No toll money, yet she wanted to sneak in? Did she not understand the rules?

"Ah! A Spirit Awakening Certificate? What's that?"

Xiao Wu froze, somewhat confused.

She truly did not know what a Spirit Awakening Certificate was. She had merely saved an old grandpa on the road, and when he heard that she was looking for a Soul Master Academy, he gave her some kind of work-study student placement and told her to come to Nuoding Academy.

But before leaving, the old grandpa had said that as long as she was a spirit master, she could enroll in Nuoding Academy through the work-study student placement. He did not seem to have mentioned needing any Spirit Awakening Certificate!

"Hmph! You dare come to our Nuoding Academy without even a Spirit Awakening Certificate? Get lost! Get lost! Stop blocking the way to our academy!"

Upon discovering that Xiao Wu did not even have a Spirit Awakening Certificate, the gatekeeper immediately revealed a face full of mockery. Waving his hand, he moved to drive Xiao Wu away.

"Hey! How can you be like this? I may not have that Spirit Awakening Certificate you mentioned, but someone told me that as long as you're a spirit master, you can enroll at this Nuoding Academy!"

Xiao Wu was a little angry at being driven away by the gatekeeper. She immediately planted her hands on her hips and said indignantly.

"As long as you're a spirit master, of course you can enroll at the academy. But you don't even have a Spirit Awakening Certificate. Looking at you, you're clearly some swindler trying to bluff your way in. Get lost! Get lost! I have no interest in wasting time with you!"

The gatekeeper was utterly disdainful, insisting that Xiao Wu was a fraud.

After all, it was not impossible to lack a Spirit Awakening Certificate.

But anyone who could awaken a martial soul without a Spirit Awakening Certificate had to come from an extraordinary background, and they certainly would not be dressed so shabbily.

Judging by Xiao Wu's clothes, she was clearly from some impoverished backwater.

Only the generous Spirit Hall would send spirit masters out to help people awaken their martial souls.

And if Spirit Hall had helped with the awakening, then anyone qualified to become a spirit master would certainly be issued a Spirit Awakening Certificate.

This little girl before him had no Spirit Awakening Certificate at all. She was obviously a fraud!

"You!!!"

Seeing that the gatekeeper before her still insisted on driving her away, Xiao Wu was furious and was just about to make a move to teach him a lesson.

But suddenly, as though he had spotted something, the gatekeeper's face abruptly turned fawning, and he quickly walked in a certain direction.

Not far away, a handsome and extraordinary little boy dressed in luxurious brocade robes, with an exquisite jade pendant at his waist, was slowly waving a folding fan as he leisurely approached.

It was Bai Ye!
