Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends.

"Brother Wan!"

And he even shouted excitedly.

The speed is quite fast; it's obvious that Gouwa's physical attributes have improved significantly after awakening his martial soul.

"Dog...cough, Lin Zao."

Lin Wan quickly changed her mind and ran towards Lin Zao, who had run up to her with a simple and honest smile on her face.

Lin Zao changed into a brand-new gray outfit issued by the Spirit Hall, and his whole demeanor looked refreshed.

"You look quite smart."

"Hehe, it was given to me by the Spirit Hall."

Lin Zao scratched his head sheepishly, still smiling憨厚ly.

His eyes were full of affection as he looked at Lin Wan. "Brother Wan, Grandpa Drews, what brings you here?"

"Send Xiao Wan to the Junior Soul Master Academy to register."

Old Drus chuckled as he looked at the child who had brought glory to the village, his eyes filled with tenderness. "And you? Why are you still in Frost City? Didn't you go to the Martial Soul Academy?"

Lin Zao scratched the back of his head and explained, "The adults from the Spirit Hall said that they are also responsible for completing the Spirit Awakening Ceremony for several other villages nearby that have not yet completed their awakening. They will only take me to Spirit City after everything here is over."

Lin Wan nodded; that made sense.

It just so happens to be the time for awakening martial souls recently. During this period, the Spirit Hall is very busy, and they may also want to find another genius and send them over together.

"Understood. We need to go to the academy to register first, it's getting late." He gestured in the direction Lin Zao indicated and then left.

Old Drews really wanted to talk to Lin Zao more and ask about his situation at the Spirit Hall, but when he thought about having to rush back to Hanbei Village today, which was a long journey, he could only regretfully give up the idea.

They just gave me a few more instructions like "listen to the adults" and "work hard."

Lin Zao's eyes revealed obvious reluctance, especially towards Lin Wan.

But then he quickly thought of something, and his eyes lit up again: "Brother Wan, so you'll be staying in Tianshuang City from now on? If I have some free time these next few days, can I come visit you?"

“Of course.” Lin Wan nodded in agreement. He was new to the area, so having someone he knew around would be a good thing.

Moreover, given Lin Zao's talent, it must have already spread throughout the upper echelons of Tianshuang City.

Lin came to find me, and I can take advantage of his influence.

"Great!"

Upon hearing Lin Wan's agreement, Lin Zao jumped for joy.

Before Lin Wan left, Lin Zao seemed to suddenly remember something important and quickly grabbed Lin Wan's sleeve, whispering a serious reminder.

"Brother Wan, and also, don't call me Gouwa anymore, Gouwa sounds too old-fashioned. My name is Lin Zao now, remember that, call me Lin Zao!"

Looking at Lin Zao's serious yet embarrassed expression, Lin Wan felt a surge of wanting to complain, but he still nodded in agreement.

"Understood, Lin Zao."

This name sounds too strange; "Dog Baby" sounds much more endearing.

"Okay! I'll head back now. Wan-ge, Grandpa Drew, please be careful on your way."

After hearing Lin Wan's agreement, Lin Zao waved goodbye to them with satisfaction.

He ran towards the Spirit Hall again, glancing back every now and then.

After bidding farewell to Lin Zao, Lin Wan and Old Drus continued their journey towards the Martial Soul Academy.

After passing through several bustling streets in Tianshuang City, a group of buildings with a distinct style came into Lin Wan's view.

We've arrived at the Frost City Junior Soul Master Academy.

Chapter 8 An Ordinary Enrollment

Unlike the magnificent and solemn style of the Spirit Hall, the Tianshuang City Primary Soul Master Academy gives people a rough feeling, which is very much like the style of the far north.

The college's exterior walls were built of massive, dark gray rocks, and the various buildings within the college were angular and had straight lines.

On the top of the bishop's building, which faces the main gate, stands a statue of a frost eagle with outstretched wings, its eyes appearing blue from a distance.

Lin Wan guessed that there must be a very valuable gemstone embedded there.

It is simple, grand, sturdy and rugged, like a fortress rooted in frozen soil.

This was Lin Wan's first impression of the Tianshuang City Primary Soul Master Academy, but Lin Wan felt that he and the Tianshuang City Primary Soul Master Academy had a somewhat incompatible aura.

After all, he was a man destined to become the most beautiful woman on the Douluo Continent and captivate countless young women.

How can you fight and kill here!

This is not in line with his style at all. But since he was already here, Lin Wan decided to spend his time here enjoying his studies.

When Lin Wan and Old Drews arrived, there were already quite a few parents with their children at the academy gate. Most of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, but there were also a few whose clothes looked expensive.

Lin Wan's appearance was quite eye-catching in the crowd, attracting several curious or inquisitive glances.

However, he didn't care, after all, handsome guys know their place.

"Let's go, Xiao Wan, let's go register." Old Drew looked at the magnificent academy, his eyes full of satisfaction and expectation, and patted Lin Wan on the shoulder.

The two walked straight to the guardhouse.

The gatekeeper, dressed in the academy's uniform, was a serious-looking middle-aged man. He took the martial soul certificate handed to him by Old Drus and carefully glanced at the information on it: "Lin Wan, Hanbei Village, Martial Soul: Ice Fox, Innate Soul Power Level 1."

The gatekeeper glanced at Lin Wan again, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes at her outstanding appearance, before handing her back her martial soul certificate.

"Okay, go in. Walk straight along this road, then turn left to reach the work-study student management office to complete the check-in procedures."

"Thank you."

After hearing what the doorman said, old Drew quickly thanked him.

Following the instructions, the two successfully found the work-study student management office.

The procedures were completed quickly, and I received a rough but clean work-study uniform, a bronze badge representing my identity, and a dormitory key for room number six in section C.

After the procedures were completed, Old Drew accompanied Lin Wan to the market near the college to buy bedding and some simple daily necessities.

When paying, Old Drus took out a faded old money bag from his pocket, carefully counted out some bronze soul coins, and handed them to Lin Wan.

“Xiao Wan, take these. Don’t be too frugal at school. Eat when you’re hungry. Grandpa knows it’s hard being a part-time worker, but health is the foundation for your health.”

Lin Wan felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at the few bronze soul coins still warm in the old man's rough palm.

He didn't refuse and solemnly accepted it: "Thank you, Grandpa Drews. I will take good care of myself."

After dropping Lin Wan off at the dormitory building in Zone C, Old Drew watched her walk into the building and gave her several more earnest instructions before turning back to leave the college and embarking on his journey back to Hanbei Village.

When Lin Wan arrived at the work-study student dormitory, there were already several people inside.

He only felt a sense of reality after quickly tidying up his belongings.

Everything has changed so fast these past few days that Lin Wan feels like it's all an illusion.

"I actually enrolled in school just like that, without any surprises or disturbances."

Lin Wan sighed, after all, in novels, isn't it always the case that when the protagonist arrives at a new map, a minor villain will come to make things difficult for him?

To everyone's surprise, Lin Wan didn't encounter anything that day, and even the procedures went incredibly smoothly.

"Looks like I really don't have the protagonist's fate like Tang San."

But this is good too, it saves us a lot of trouble.

The work-study dormitory housed a total of 21 people, including Lin Wan, both men and women, mostly from villages around Tianshuang City.

Their martial souls are also diverse, with ice flowers, ice blades, ice cats, and ice birds making up the majority. However, their innate soul power is generally not high, with level one or two being the norm.

The only one who could be considered outstanding was a boy named Qin Yi, who seemed rather taciturn.

His innate soul power is level five, and his martial soul is a chilling ice blade, making him stand out among the group of work-study students.

When Lin Wan arrived, Qin Yi sat cross-legged on his bed, his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, trying his best to sense and condense his soul power.

The dormitory was bustling with activity. Some people, like Qin Yi, were slightly more talented and immediately sat cross-legged and closed their eyes as soon as they settled down, trying their best to sense their soul power. Others gathered in twos and threes, excitedly exchanging information about their martial souls, their words filled with excitement.

Another group was quietly tidying up their own little space, their eyes showing the awkwardness of a newcomer and the observation of the unfamiliar environment.

Lin Wan's gaze swept over the young faces, and she sighed.

He did not immediately attempt to cultivate like the others, after all, he had not yet finished packing his things.

Moreover, he doesn't need to awkwardly sense soul power like others.

When Lin Wan awakened his martial soul in Hanbei Village, the system instantly drained his level nine soul power, causing the crystal ball to only display level one.

But this does not mean that he only has level one soul power left. His innate soul power is still level ten in the system's personal interface. It's just that the soul power capacity was instantly drained by the system, like a water tank being drained of water, but the tank itself was full.

He's been quite busy these past few days at Old Drew's house.

The character summoned by the character summoning card drawn from the system's newbie gift pack is no ordinary person.

Queen Eva, who was skilled in dark magic in the Snow White story, has only been in Douluo Continent for a few days, but that time is enough for her to figure out the methods of cultivating soul power.

Therefore, she had already shared a good meditation method with Lin Wan a few days ago.

Lin Wan has been practicing according to the methods taught by Queen Eva these past few days, and the results have been astonishing.

He has recovered the soul power that the system had taken from him in the past few days, and he even has a faint feeling that it is about to overflow.

Lin Wan is now only one soul ring away from officially stepping into the threshold of becoming a soul master and becoming a one-ring soul master.

He hasn't found a suitable and safe place or time to absorb the soul ring he drew from the system. He plans to find a suitable time to absorb it after he has been enrolled in school for a while.

In any case, the soul power accumulated before obtaining the first soul ring will not disappear, but will be stored in the body and will be released together when the soul ring is absorbed.

"Not in a hurry."

After making the bed, Lin Wan sat comfortably on it, looking out at the sky through the small window.

Since I'm not destined to be a protagonist, I'll start by developing in a low-key manner and systematically learning about martial spirits.

Chapter 9 Taunt

By evening, almost all the work-study students had finished their soul power training.

It's not that they don't want to cultivate anymore, but that they simply can't continue cultivating.

In the world of Douluo Continent, cultivating soul power is a mentally taxing process. Therefore, most people need to stop and rest after cultivating for a while.

With the cultivation of soul power finished, the dormitory naturally became lively again.

They gathered in twos and threes, excitedly exchanging information about their respective martial spirits.

Lin Wanyin's silver-white short hair and sea-blue eyes stood out among the group of boys, most of whom had black hair and brown eyes and were dressed simply.

Many eyes swept over him, but because Lin Wan's appearance was so distant, no one came to talk to him.

Lin Wan said he didn't care, and that he and a group of children did indeed have nothing in common.

A chubby boy with a round face, small eyes, and a rather clever look came over and greeted them with a grin.

"Hey, newbie. My name is Wang Dazhuang, my martial soul is the Iron Potato, and my innate soul power is level two. What about you?"

He had a loud voice, which attracted the attention of several children nearby who also came over to look.

"Lin Wan, Martial Soul: Nine-Tailed Fox, Innate Soul Power Level 1."

Lin Wanbao presented the items on his martial spirit certificate.

"Level one, huh?" A confident smile flashed across Wang Dazhuang's face, then he said enthusiastically, "It's alright, it's alright, awakening your soul power is a good thing! What does your nine-tailed fox look like?"

He was clearly very curious about Lin Wan's martial spirit, after all, Lin Wan was so beautiful, her martial spirit must be beautiful too.

Before Lin Wan could answer, a slightly mocking voice came from the side.

"Hmph, a fox spirit? Level 1 innate, what use is that? It probably can't even catch a rabbit."

The speaker was a tall, thin boy with prominent cheekbones named Li Ergou. His martial soul was an ordinary gray wolf, and his innate soul power was level three, which was considered quite good among the part-time workers. At this moment, he was glancing sideways at Lin Wan with a hint of superiority in his eyes.

There was a moment of silence in the dormitory, and Wang Dazhuang scratched his head awkwardly.

Qin Yi, who was sitting cross-legged not far away, frowned upon hearing these words.

Lin Wan's smile remained unchanged, her azure eyes looking at Li Ergou calmly and without wavering.
