The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 6 Notting Junior Soul Master Academy (Part Two)

Only after confirming that neither certificate showed any signs of forgery did the person in charge begin registering the two individuals.

"Alright. Your information has been registered. Work-study students are usually assigned to my class. My name is Mohen, you can call me Teacher Mo, and I will be your head teacher from now on. This is your school uniform."

As she spoke, Teacher Mo handed two sets of school uniforms to Lin Xiao and Xia Liang, and finally added, "From today onwards, you are students of this academy. You must abide by the academy's rules and regulations, understand?"

"Understood, Teacher Mo," Lin Xiao replied loudly.

Xia Liang nodded and accepted the school uniform.

There is only one dormitory building, which is easy to find. All the students and teachers of the college live there.

There are only seven dormitories for the students, and each dormitory is staffed by a teacher.

Dormitory 7 is the worst of the seven student dormitories, and it is specifically for work-study students.

Regardless of grade or age, all work-study students live in Dormitory 7.

As Xia Liang and Lin Xiaogang approached the entrance of Dormitory 7, they heard a commotion coming from inside.

The door was open, and the two walked to the doorway and looked inside.

This is a spacious room, nearly 300 square meters, with a total of 50 beds, but only 11 of them have bedding.

At that moment, seven or eight children aged between eight and twelve were making a ruckus inside the room.

Xia Liang knocked on the door, and the children who were talking immediately turned their eyes in his direction.

One of the tall men looked at Xia Liang, whose clothes were covered in patches, and then at Lin Xiao, who was carrying a cloth bag.

Although they were about the same height, Lin Xiao looked stronger and more powerful than Xia Liang. This immediately attracted the taller man's attention.

As the tall man approached, Xia Liang frowned slightly and silently retreated behind Lin Xiao.

The tall man walked up to Lin Xiao, looking down at him condescendingly. "The new work-study student?"

Lin Xiao smiled and replied, "Yes. Hello, I'm a work-study student from Niupi Village. My martial spirit is Water Buffalo. I have innate level two soul power."

"And you?" The tall man looked past Lin Xiao and at Xia Liang.

"Me? I have innate level five soul power."

After hearing Xia Liang's words, not only Lin Xiao, but even the tall man was stunned.

What is the concept of innate level 5 soul power?

Among Soul Masters, the highest Soul Power talent is the Innate Level 10.

A level 5 innate soul power is somewhat low compared to those geniuses. However, in the eyes of ordinary soul masters, it is already considered quite good talent for cultivation.

"What is your martial spirit?" the tall man asked Xia Liang.

"My martial spirit is a skull." Xia Liang raised his right hand, and a palm-sized, dark purple rib appeared in his palm.

Upon seeing this, the tall man and Lin Xiao were stunned once again.

Why does this skeleton martial spirit only have ribs? Is it because the martial spirit awakening is incomplete?

Looking at Xia Liang, who possessed innate level five soul power but had a crippled martial soul, the tall man did not show any mockery on his face. Instead, he showed more sympathy and regret.

As fellow work-study students, we all have our struggles, so it's natural that we empathize with each other. There's no need to make fun of each other.

With a sigh, the tall man patted Xia Liang on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. With such high innate soul power, becoming a soul master is definitely not a problem. Your ribs have a certain defensive capability, so it's definitely not a useless martial soul. Welcome to the Seventh Dormitory."

"Thank you." Xia Liang didn't expect to receive such a reply.

"You can go into the dorm first," the tall man said, making way for him.

Lin Xiao returned the cloth bag he was carrying to Xia Liang.

Xia Liang dragged his cloth bag into the dormitory.

"What about me?" Lin Xiao looked at the tall man with a puzzled expression. "Can't I go in?"

"Of course you can come in. But I have to tell you the rules of Dormitory Seven first," the tall boy said. "My name is Wang Sheng, I'm ten years old, a fourth-year student. I'm the leader of Dormitory Seven, a dutiful son. From now on, you have to listen to me, understand?"

Lin Xiao frowned. "My name is Lin Xiao, not Little Filial Son!"

Wang Sheng raised his hand and shoved Lin Xiao on the shoulder. "I'll call you Little Filial Piety, what? You don't like it?"

Xia Liang had just walked to an empty bed when he saw two people arguing at the door. He was about to go and mediate when he was stopped by a roommate.

My roommates told me that Wang Sheng, as the leader of Dormitory 7, didn't intentionally make things difficult for the new work-study students. Instead, he used this method to test the newcomers' abilities so that they could better organize themselves to resist the bullying from those elite students in the future.

Recalling a similar description in the original work, Xia Liangcai gave up trying to mediate the fight and quietly stayed by the bedside. If he could, he didn't want to mediate; he preferred to avoid trouble.

Lin Xiaochu was new to the place and obviously didn't know the rules of Dormitory Seven. He insisted that Wang Sheng, the leader of Dormitory Seven, was just trying to intimidate him.

Looking back at Lin Xiao's angry glare, Wang Sheng smiled disdainfully, "Little filial son, it seems you're really not convinced."

"I refuse to accept this!" Lin Xiao's eyes were filled with resentment.

"If you're not convinced, then let's fight. Between Soul Masters, let's settle things with a battle. I'll give you three moves; don't blame me for bullying the weak."

As he spoke, Wang Sheng released his martial spirit, and a humanoid tiger suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Lin Xiao was not to be outdone. His Water Buffalo Martial Soul appeared as if by magic, and the next moment, he charged towards Wang Sheng.

Bang, boom, ah—

The sounds of hooves and claws slicing through the air, the friction of limbs colliding, and Lin Xiao's screams echoed outside the door.

After a while.

Inside Dormitory 7, on an empty bed.

Xia Liang was applying wound medicine to Lin Xiao's wounds using the medicine provided by the college.

A roommate was explaining the rules of Dormitory 7 to the two of them.

After listening, Lin Xiaocai realized that Wang Sheng was not targeting him, but rather wanted to test his strength as a future battle spirit master.

Lin Xiao felt that the beating he received was well worth it, because his strength had been recognized by Wang Sheng, and he might be a candidate for the leader of the Seventh Dormitory in the future.

Watching Xia Liang apply medicine to his wounds, Lin Xiao asked curiously, "Is your innate soul power really level five?"

Xia Liang nodded. "Yes. However, Master Su Yuntao, who helped me awaken my martial soul, said that my skeleton martial soul is a cripple."

"What's the big deal?" a roommate said with a laugh. "Back then, Master Su Yuntao called my martial soul a useless one. Now I can still cultivate. And in less than five years, I'll become a battle spirit master!"

"Senior is really amazing," Xia Liang casually praised.

"Have you eaten yet?" Wang Sheng asked, walking up to Lin Xiao and Xia Liang. "Would you like to eat with us?"

"You guys go first. I'll finish applying the medicine for Lin Xiao before I go."

After listening to Xia Liang's words, Wang Sheng smiled and said, "Alright then. Let's go eat first."

With that, he led the people from the dormitory out.
