Douluo Continent: Heaven rewards diligence, Tang San's defenses are breached by liver damage.

Lin Chuan looked delighted and threw the remaining arrows into the cauldron, repeating the spirit refining process.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Chuan was startled and quickly stopped what he was doing. With a thought, he put the Azure Pattern Cauldron back into his body, took a deep breath, regained his composure, and then quickly walked to the door.

Upon opening the door, the village chief of Caomiao Village stood outside.

"Grandpa Village Chief, what brings you here? Is there anything I can help you with?"

When the village chief saw Lin Chuan, he immediately smiled kindly.

"Xiao Chuan, it's like this. Didn't the Spirit Master from the Spirit Hall say that you could become a Spirit Master? So I made a special trip to the two surrounding villages."

“They don’t have any Soul Master candidates this year, so I took over the work-study student slots that are shared by the three villages. Xiao Chuan, would you like to go to the Soul Master School to study?”

Lin Chuan was taken aback at first, then felt a warmth in his heart.

"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief! I'm willing to go to the Soul Master School!"

"Alright, alright, then this work-study spot is for you. Notting Academy will be accepting applications in half a month. Xiao Chuan, you must work hard and strive to become an excellent Soul Master."

Lin Chuan nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief, I won't let you down!"

"Good child, Grandpa believes in you. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. You should get ready!"

Without giving Lin Chuan a chance to stop her, she turned and left in a hurry.

He kept muttering to himself: "The village has finally produced a Soul Master!"

Chapter 3 Such a grand gesture upon first meeting

Half a month passed quickly.

Lin Chuan arrived in Nottingham early in the morning by oxcart.

In fact, he was no stranger to Nottingham.

In the past, Lin Chuan would take the meat he hunted in the back mountains, which Caomiao Village couldn't consume, and sell it at the Notting City market.

Afterwards, they would return with the adults in the village.

Therefore, for Lin Chuan, coming to Nottingham City is like coming home.

"Uncle, I'll stop here. I can go to Notting Academy by myself from here on out."

Lin Chuan jumped off the oxcart and carried the prepared change of bedding on his shoulder.

"Alright, then I won't see you off. Xiao Chuan, remember to study hard at Notting Academy and strive to become a powerful Soul Master, so that we can bring honor to our Grass Temple Village."

"Don't worry, Uncle!"

Lin Chuan grinned, said a brief goodbye, and headed to Notting Academy alone.

For him, it was already a piece of cake.

There was no scene of Lin Chuan being looked down upon by the gatekeeper. After Lin Chuan handed over his martial soul certificate, the gatekeeper glanced at it briefly and then opened the door to let him in.

They probably saw that Lin Chuan had a quiver hanging from his waist and a machete on his hip, and thought he was not someone to be trifled with!

Registration, receiving school uniforms, and dormitory assignments all went very smoothly.

"Seventh Dormitory? We'll have to be a little more careful from now on!"

Tang Dachui secretly observed that Lin Chuan had many secrets, and he was determined not to let them be discovered.

Otherwise, they might not even know how they died.

In the blink of an eye, Dormitory 7 was already within reach.

Even standing far outside the door, you can still hear the sounds coming from inside.

Lin Chuan slowly reached out and pushed the door open. Suddenly, a dark shadow flew towards him. He subconsciously took two steps back, and the figure landed right where it had been before.

Looking down, Lin Chuan's expression was somewhat strange.

A small, thin figure was kneeling in front of him.

"So enthusiastic? We're all classmates, there's no need for such a grand gesture, is there?"

"you!!!"

Tang San suddenly raised his head, his expression ashen, his gaze somewhat unfriendly.

Lin Chuan realized he had spoken out of turn, but he just smiled and walked past the person in front of him into the dormitory.

In an instant, all eyes in Dormitory 7 turned to him.

"Are you also a work-study student this year?"

A boy with a chubby face and a noticeably older appearance took the initiative to ask.

Lin Chuan nodded slightly.

"Boss, another new guy has arrived. Go and explain the rules of Dormitory 7 to him."

Upon hearing this, the girl in the pink dress standing next to her immediately brightened up.

With light steps, she skipped and hopped to Lin Chuan.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Wu, the 'Wu' in 'dancing,' and my martial soul is a rabbit. What's your name?"

"My name is Lin Chuan, and my martial spirit is a bow."

Lin Chuan silently glanced at Xiao Wu.

This is a 100,000-year-old soul beast; its entire body is a treasure.

Unfortunately, not to mention that Lin Chuan can't absorb the 100,000-year soul ring right now, his two soul skills are only so-so. Void is okay, but Eight-Stage Explosive Throw is just average.

On the contrary, the two soul skills that come with the 100,000-year-old soul bone are quite suitable for archers.

However, none of these are things that Lin Chuan can obtain at present.

In an instant, he suppressed the thought.

Xiao Wu was unaware of the malice emanating from Lin Chuan. She blinked her big eyes and gave a faint smile.

"Then I'll call you Xiaochuan!"

"I'm the boss of Dormitory 7, and you're my little brother too. You have to listen to me. From now on, call me Sister Xiaowu. I'll protect you and won't let you get bullied."

Without permission, Xiao Wu started talking to herself.

Lin Chuan's expression was somewhat strange, but he still gently shook his head.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in playing house with you. I'm here to learn about Soul Masters. I have no interest in being a leader or someone's underling."

"That's not something you can decide; it's the rule of our Dormitory 7."

"Boss, let's go! Let's teach this kid a lesson!"

A simple sentence drew angry glares from those around him.

Everyone started fanning the flames.

Xiao Wu was clearly annoyed by Lin Chuan's comment about playing house, and immediately snorted coldly.

"In that case, I'll beat you up first, and then I'll talk to you about the rules."

"watch out!"

Before Lin Chuan could react, Xiao Wu bent her right leg and instantly launched herself forward, kicking out with her leg.

In an instant, his toes were already in front of Lin Chuan's face.

The speed was truly astonishing.

Why won't you listen?

Lin Chuan frowned slightly and quickly dodged.

You dodge one kick, but another one follows right away.

Lin Chuan was not alarmed. With a light step, he narrowly dodged the attack once again.

Xiao Wu was somewhat surprised that her attacks had failed. After landing, she took the opportunity to spring into the air and launched another kick straight at Lin Chuan's face.

Lin Chuan didn't fight back, but kept dodging and weaving.

[You made a careful attempt to dodge, and gained some insights; your movement skill proficiency +1]

This is a rare opportunity to practice my physical skills, so I can't let it go to waste.

Besides, there's absolutely no benefit in fighting Xiao Wu.

If you win, you become the boss, but you have to deal with so many troublesome things, which is thankless and exhausting. If you lose, you become someone else's subordinate. It doesn't seem like a good deal at all.

Why not do nothing at all and still improve your skills?

"Damn it, take this!"
