First Golden Evolution Points, Taking Tang Wulin as a Lackey?

"Right, and Na'er—the future Silver Dragon King. If nothing unexpected happened, she should soon take human form and enter human society, right? Since I was here, the task of saving Na'er naturally had to fall to me!"

As he sorted through his thoughts, Yao Xuan quietly made arrangements and plans for the period ahead.

"Come on, Yao Xuan, hurry up and eat."

Just as Yao Xuan was thinking, Lin Ximeng emerged from the kitchen carrying steaming-hot dishes.

Although she was a Soul Master, Lin Ximeng often cooked for herself, and her Culinary Skill was fairly good. After dinner, Lin Ximeng helped Yao Xuan tidy up a bedroom. At least for the next three years, this would be his new home.

"Yao Xuan, get up. It's time for school."

At six o'clock the next morning, when the sun had only just peeked over the horizon, Lin Ximeng woke Yao Xuan. Today was enrollment day. Yao Xuan would officially attend Red Mountain Academy and enter the Soul Master Class for three years of study.

According to the Sun Moon Federation's regulations, children received compulsory education at both primary and intermediate academies. Primary academies lasted three years, while intermediate academies lasted six. This applied whether or not they received Soul Master education.

However, for children attending primary Soul Master academies, if they could break through to Rank 10 and become Soul Masters within three years, they could continue on to an intermediate Soul Master academy. Otherwise, they could only transfer to an ordinary academy. The requirements for entering an advanced Soul Master academy were even stricter: they had to break through to Rank 25 before turning fifteen, shutting many people out at the threshold.

After breakfast, Yao Xuan followed Lin Ximeng to the classroom. At Red Mountain Academy, there were over a thousand students in the First Grade's ordinary classes, but the Soul Master Class had only sixteen students in total, making the classroom seem especially spacious.

On Douluo Continent, children born with Innate Soul Power upon Martial Soul Awakening were exceedingly rare, especially in a small city like Aolai City, which had no Soul Master families. Sixteen students was already the highest number in five years; in some years, the Soul Master Class even had fewer than ten students.

At primary academies, ordinary classes only provided standard cultural education. For the Soul Master Class, however, cultural lessons accounted for less than one-third of their time. Most of it was spent teaching meditation methods, Soul Power control, and knowledge of the Soul Master world, preparing these students born with Innate Soul Power to enter intermediate academies.

"Good morning, children. I'm your homeroom teacher, Lin Ximeng. Over the next three years, I'll teach you the basic knowledge of Soul Masters. Now, everyone, introduce your Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power. Yao Xuan, you can start."

Looking at the children before her, Lin Ximeng wore a kind smile as she spoke.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Yao Xuan. My Martial Soul is a Lizard Dragon, and my Innate Soul Power is Rank 5."

Stepping forward, Yao Xuan confidently introduced himself to his classmates. The Lizard Dragon was the Martial Soul that the Spirit Master had ultimately registered in Yao Xuan's official records, so he naturally went along with it.

"Wow, a Lizard Dragon! Since it has 'dragon' in its name, this Martial Soul must be powerful, right?"

"Yeah! I heard that any Martial Soul with 'dragon' in its name is really powerful!"

"Exactly. It should be a very powerful Martial Soul."

Upon hearing Yao Xuan's introduction, the surrounding children's eyes gleamed with envy as they began discussing it among themselves. The classroom immediately grew lively.

"Come on, Yao Xuan. Since everyone thinks your Martial Soul is powerful, why don't you show it to them?"

Listening to the children's chatter, Lin Ximeng said with a smile.

"Okay, Teacher Lin."

To avoid affecting the other children, Lin Ximeng had specifically told Yao Xuan to call her Teacher Lin at school. Yao Xuan was happy to do so. As he answered, he extended his right hand and focused his thoughts.

At Yao Xuan's command, faint nine-colored lights gathered before him, and the Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul appeared in his palm.

Seeing Yao Xuan's Martial Soul, the excitement in most of the children's eyes faded considerably. From its appearance, Yao Xuan's Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul truly did not seem as majestic and imposing as they had imagined.

"What kind of Martial Soul is that? Oh no, that strange feeling is back!"

But at that moment, among the children, a handsome little boy with short black hair and large black-and-white eyes suddenly trembled.

There was no need to ask—this little boy was Tang Wulin. Upon seeing Yao Xuan's Martial Soul, Tang Wulin felt his blood suddenly begin to race, his skin turn slightly red, and his head grow a little dizzy. A faint Golden Light radiated from his body.

"Good, that was a fine demonstration. Yao Xuan, you may put away your Martial Soul now! Next, this student—it's your turn."

Hearing Lin Ximeng's words, Yao Xuan obediently withdrew his Martial Soul and stepped back. The abnormal changes in Tang Wulin's body disappeared as well. Then, one student after another went up to introduce themselves.

Everything went smoothly, but when the other children heard Tang Wulin's introduction, they all burst into laughter. Tang Wulin's little face flushed bright red, and it felt as though a ball of fire was trapped in his heart.

"Everyone, don't laugh at Wulin. Although Bluesilver Grass is ordinary, don't forget that the Martial Soul of the legendary Sea God from twenty thousand years ago was also Bluesilver Grass. Besides, Wulin will be our classmate for the next three years. Even if his Martial Soul is inferior to yours, you shouldn't laugh at him. You should help him more instead."

Unlike the laughing students around him, Yao Xuan did not laugh. Instead, he spoke up to advise them.

"Thank you!"

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, Tang Wulin's heart warmed, and his eyes held a little more gratitude as he looked at Yao Xuan.

Ding! You have gained the gratitude of Tang Wulin, Son of Destiny. Golden Evolution Points x1 obtained!

At that moment, the system's slightly cold notification sounded in Yao Xuan's ears once more.

Very good. Although it's only 1 Golden Evolution Point, I merely said a few words for Tang Wulin. The Son of Destiny truly is a fat sheep—I can easily harvest Golden Evolution Points from him. This is fantastic; I have to make good use of it! Hmm, then I'll try taking Tang Wulin on as my lackey. Yes, that's it!

Hearing the system notification, a trace of delight appeared in Yao Xuan's eyes. One Golden Evolution Point might not seem like much, but obtaining it through cultivation would require more than three months. For the current Yao Xuan, it was already no small amount.

What was more, Yao Xuan had received such a benefit merely by speaking up for Tang Wulin. With the wisdom of a transmigrator, harvesting Golden Evolution Points from Tang Wulin would definitely not be difficult. Yao Xuan quickly made his decision—he would take Tang Wulin on as his lackey.

P.S. Thanks for the correction. In the previous chapter, Lin Ximeng should have been "adoptive mother," not "adoptive father." I haven't read the manga, so please forgive me!
