Tang San, Xiao Wu...

After entering the academy, Lin En did not hurry off.

When he saw Yu Xiaogang pull Tang San aside, he knew the man was about to start hoodwinking him again.

He merely smiled it off, hoping that after Yu Xiaogang ruined Tang San with his training, master and disciple would not turn against each other!

Nuoding Academy was not particularly large; almost all its buildings could be taken in at a glance.

Soon, Lin En arrived at the Dean of Studies' Office on the ground floor of the teaching building.

Pushing the door open, Lin En met Nuoding Academy's Dean of Studies.

"Hello, sir. My name is Lin En, and I'm a new student here to enroll today. This is my martial soul certificate."

As he spoke, he handed his martial soul certificate to the Dean of Studies.

Director Su took it and looked, excitement instantly filling his eyes. For a moment, he even wondered whether his eyes were deceiving him.

"Lin En, you have innate full soul power?"

Lin En nodded.

Director Su looked somewhat bewildered. Why would someone with innate full soul power come to this shabby academy of his instead of joining Spirit Hall?

After all, Nuoding Academy's graduation requirement was level eleven with one ring. He could graduate as soon as he absorbed his first soul ring.

"Lin En, have you really decided to study at our Nuoding Academy? To tell you the truth, with your talent, even if you went to Heaven Dou City Noble Academy, those noble lords would fight to admit you."

Clearly unwilling to let such a promising seedling be buried, Director Su earnestly tried to persuade him.

"Thank you, sir, but I don't have any money. I can't afford such expensive tuition."

Lin En shook his head and answered sincerely.

"All right, then. I'll register you."

A student with innate full soul power could bring Nuoding Academy considerable prestige. He had no reason to refuse.

Director Su agreed on the spot.

Next, Lin En received his first Nuoding Academy uniform, his only set of clothes besides those he had brought from the village.

The white material was clean, and the fabric was sturdier than his current clothes. It was already quite good.

Meanwhile.

Yu Xiaogang had also successfully bluffed Tang San with his plagiarized theoretical knowledge, pieced together from here and there.

Tang San knelt on the spot and accepted him as his master.

Yu Xiaogang was immensely pleased with himself, his confidence in his theoretical knowledge growing even stronger.

Even a genius with innate full soul power had accepted him as his master. Who would still dare say his theories were no good?

However great your talent, could it surpass innate full soul power?

If you don't acknowledge my theories, that only proves your ability is limited and you cannot understand theoretical knowledge as profound as mine.

No, there's still Lin En, another one with innate full soul power. I have to hoodwink him into joining me too.

Yu Xiaogang thought to himself.

When the time came, he would become renowned across the four seas for gaining two genius disciples with innate full soul power through his knowledge of martial soul theory.

The title of "Grandmaster" would also truly be accepted by the world, rather than merely serving as a laughingstock over tea and after meals.

"Little San, do you know much about Lin En?"

Tang San thought for a moment and shook his head slightly. "Lin En is a child from our neighboring village. I wouldn't say I know much about him."

"What's the matter, Teacher?"

Yu Xiaogang gave a soft snort. "You saw what happened earlier."

"That Lin En was far too arrogant. Everyone respectfully calls me Grandmaster, yet he slandered me in public."

"Little does he know that I am one of only two people in the world with an external martial soul. Apart from me, no one can guide his cultivation."

"What he did was no different from throwing away a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed."

Tang San's eyes flickered slightly, and a trace of hostility toward Lin En involuntarily arose in his heart.

"Let's go. I'll take you to register first."

Yu Xiaogang led Tang San into Nuoding Academy, still pondering how to win Lin En over.

After leaving the administration office, Lin En used the money Grandpa Village Chief had left him to buy a set of bedding, then headed straight for the work-study students' dormitory.

There was only one dormitory building, so it was easy to find.

Lin En arrived at Dorm Seven, but before he could enter, a youth a head taller than him blocked his path.

"My name's Wang Sheng. My martial soul is War Tiger, and I'm the boss here. Kid, what's your name?"

Lin En did not want to bother with him and said coldly:

"Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being rough!"

He was here to study, not to be bullied.

If anyone thought he looked easy to bully and wanted to trample on him, he would definitely break their legs first.

Wang Sheng ignored Lin En's words. "I'm the boss here. From now on, you have to listen to me. Got it?"

Lin En completely lost his patience, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes.

"Sageross, come out and deal with him!"

"Saa-"

As though sensing his master's summons, Sageross turned into a streak of green light inside Lin En and shot out like lightning.

With a flying kick, he sent Wang Sheng hurtling into Dorm Seven in an instant.

With Wang Sheng no longer in his way, Lin En walked into the dormitory without further trouble.

Seemingly oblivious to everyone else's horrified gazes, he picked a bed and laid out his sheet and bedding.

Sageross's kick had hit Wang Sheng hard. He struggled for quite some time before finally getting up from the floor, clutching his chest.

Yet the moment he rose, he met Sageross's fierce eyes, and a trace of fear involuntarily welled up inside him.

"What... is that thing?"

Wang Sheng scrambled backward several steps in fright as he spoke in terror.

"Sageross, come back," Lin En said mildly.

"Saa-"

Sageross turned into a streak of light and flew back into Lin En's body.

"My name is Lin En. That was Sageross, my most important companion. He's also my martial soul."

After making his bed, Lin En turned around and addressed the others with a calm expression.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

To think such a martial soul existed in this world. Their horizons had truly been broadened!

So strong!

That was what everyone else in the dormitory thought. If his martial soul alone was already so powerful, wouldn't Lin En himself be even more formidable?

At that thought, a flicker of excitement crossed Wang Sheng's face.

"Lin En, you beat me. From now on, you're the boss of Dorm Seven."

Lin En shook his head. "I'm here to study. I'm not interested in getting mixed up in your affairs. As long as you don't bother me, I won't bother lifting a finger either."

Wang Sheng wanted to say more, but a clear voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"Excuse me, is this Dorm Seven?"

Just then, a pretty young girl dressed in pink, with her hair tied in a long ponytail, slowly walked in.

Everyone immediately looked toward the doorway, their eyes involuntarily transfixed.

Lin En glanced at her, then quickly withdrew his gaze.

Although Xiao Wu was very cute, she was only cute. To Lin En, she held no appeal whatsoever.

A voluptuous young married woman was still a little more appealing to him...

In youth, you don't know the charms of young married women and mistakenly treasure little girls instead!

Those who liked little girls needed a good, hard electric shock. At the very least, they had to enjoy the same treatment he'd received back then.

At that thought, Lin En wanted to cry but had no tears.

I'm not even a lolicon, damn it. Why was I the only one getting shocked...
