Lin Luo hadn't been interested in learning.

But if it made Qian Renxue happy, he didn't mind putting in a little effort.

Qian Renxue was very patient and repeated in her lovely voice, "Grandma~"

Lin Luo opened his little mouth and did his best to make a similar baby sound. "La... la..."

Hearing that, Qian Renxue looked at Lin Luo in delighted surprise. She hadn't expected her baby to be so clever that he actually tried to repeat after her.

She immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, that was already amazing. My Luoluo is the best~"

Damn it, that kind of praise really works on me...

Lin Luo was immediately fired up.

Sitting beside Qian Renxue, he obediently babbled, "La~ la~"

"La~ la~"

Qian Renxue pouted. "It's Grandma~"

"But Luoluo almost got it right on his first try. You really are the best, best, best baby in the whole world~"

Lin Luo's cheeks even grew a little hot from all the praise.

This is so embarrassing, but why do I feel so inexplicably proud?

Qian Renxue continued in a gentle voice, "Great-grandpa~"

But after saying it, she hesitated and shook her head. "Three syllables should be a little harder..."

Sure enough, Lin Luo opened his mouth and could only make a babyish "Tai, tai, tai."

Even so, Qian Renxue was still astonished.

Because Luoluo was actually making a conscious effort to repeat her words!

Although he was too young for his mouth to form the correct syllables.

He really was listening carefully to his mother and doing as she said.

He was only three months old!

That's my Luoluo for you. My baby is the best!

Qian Renxue dotingly rubbed Lin Luo's head and loosened her hand, revealing a white, rounded mound.

"A reward for baby~"

"Yiya!"

Lin Luo let out a happy sound and pounced on it with his little body.

The next day.

Lin Luo woke up sprawled on the bed.

His clothes had already been changed, and he had a fresh diaper. Qian Renxue was bathing in the pool as usual.

A sly look flashed in Lin Luo's eyes.

Don't go thinking I had milk last night because I was restricted by an infant's instincts. That's way too lame!

This God King actually planned to make up for missing breakfast with a late-night snack.

Because this morning, he was going to sneak away and grind a side quest.

The problem was that Qian Renxue stayed by his side every step of the way. When he lay on the bed, she sat beside him and cultivated in meditation.

Under those circumstances, Lin Luo had absolutely no chance to grind his crawling steps.

Even if he crawled around the room, Qian Renxue, unaware of the situation, would surely pick him up and put him back on the bed.

His young mother would even declare with conviction, "A little baby should lie obediently in bed! That's how a little baby should be!"

Lin Luo scoffed at that.

The only time they were apart was in the morning, when Qian Renxue woke up and took a bath.

Anyway, I already replaced breakfast's Growth Value with a late-night snack. No need to panic.

The door quietly opened and closed.

Lin Luo escaped without a hitch.

He had to do this. Although it would make Qian Renxue worried and angry, he had no choice.

His Martial Soul was fundamental. If it wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't even be able to establish a God King position later on.

That made the Martial Soul Tags, which were permanent rewards, vitally important.

So, since he had a chance to obtain a stronger Martial Soul in this life, why wouldn't Lin Luo fight for it with everything he had?

After all, this was the only period in which he had a chance to improve the quality of his Martial Soul. He had only three months, and he refused to waste a single second.

He earned far, far too few Lottery Points just by eating, drinking, relieving himself, and sleeping. He had to grind crawling steps every day.

Of course, it would be even better if he could learn to walk, but that was still too difficult for Lin Luo. Every time he tried, he failed to stand up.

He wondered if he could learn to walk before the nursing period ended.

While he was thinking, Lin Luo had already crawled beyond the grounds of the Worship Hall.

At this hour, the worshippers were generally in Deep Meditation and wouldn't notice his presence.

"Use the limited-time reward, speed boost."

"Use the one-time reward, Stamina Replenishment Card."

The effects of the speed boost and stamina replenishment were immediately applied to Lin Luo.

In that instant, he turned into a little electric motor and raced madly toward the inner plaza.

If anyone witnessed this scene, they would surely suspect they weren't awake yet.

What a heaven-defying baby!

This time, Lin Luo planned to crawl farther away. Otherwise, Qian Renxue and the others could easily catch him and bring him back.

Beyond the outer plaza lay a large complex of buildings. The grounds were certainly spacious, so Lin Luo planned to have a look around there.

He didn't know that those buildings were none other than Spirit Hall Academy, a Martial Soul holy land renowned throughout the Douluo Continent and the dream of every young Soul Master.

Spirit Hall Academy was an advanced Soul Master Academy founded by Spirit Hall itself, and it accepted only Soul Master students aged twelve and above.

Its admission and graduation requirements were both exceptionally strict, and it was an important institution dedicated to providing talent for Spirit Hall.

But today, the peaceful and tranquil Spirit Hall Academy welcomed an uninvited guest.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

The melodious class bell rang out.

On the academy's wide avenue, students who were about to be late were running in twos and threes.

"Nana! Nana! Would you wait for me?"

The red-haired boy shouted from behind her, a piece of bread still dangling from his mouth.

Xie Yue rushed up from behind and gave Yan a practiced smack on the back of the head. "Yo! Isn't this Yan, the classmate who raced a baby in the outer plaza and got utterly crushed?"

Hearing that, Yan flushed with embarrassment. He hadn't expected yesterday's spur-of-the-moment action to make him famous among all the students in an instant.

Overnight, he had lost his priority in choosing a mate.

What was more, the rumors grew wilder with each retelling. By the end, the story was that Yan from first-year Class One had raced a baby and been utterly crushed.

"Damn it! Yesterday was just an accident. I'm not used to crawling on all fours! That's his specialty!"

Yan shoved the bread into his mouth in one bite and retorted indignantly.

Walking ahead, Hu Liena turned back angrily. "I say, can you two run faster? A Platinum Bishop is coming to inspect our year today. Didn't you know?"

The dean of Spirit Hall Academy was a Platinum Bishop, and becoming one meant having a Soul Power cultivation of at least level eighty.

Xie Yue and Yan both froze on the spot.

"Damn, I forgot!"

The three immediately picked up speed and raced on. Even then, Xie Yue didn't forget to tease him. "Run faster, Yan! You couldn't outrun a baby, and now you can't outrun me either?"

Yan flew into a rage. "I dare that little guy to race me again! I refuse to believe-"

"Whoosh!"

Before he could finish, something he couldn't make out suddenly zipped past him.

Yan froze. "Just now... did something just fly past?"

Xie Yue and Hu Liena hadn't noticed at all. One was too busy laughing at Yan, while the other was reviewing her lessons in her head in case she was called on in class.

It was said that the Platinum Bishop liked to pick students at random for a little test.
