Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

After deciding to join the Spirit Hall's Junior Soul Master Academy, Ye Lan became much more enthusiastic towards Lin Yu.

This enthusiasm intensified after it was discovered that Lin Yu possessed level eight innate soul power.

Not only did Ye Lan become much more enthusiastic towards Lin Yu, but the other members of the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Yaoxing City also became familiar with Lin Yu.

There was also an interesting side story: with the clues provided by Lin Yu, the Spirit Hall enforcement team found the poaching gang members in just three days.

Those people were incredibly bold; after killing and robbing, they cleverly hid in the shadows and stayed in the Shining Star City Arena.

When they were caught by the law enforcement team, one member of the poaching gang was participating in a Soul Fighting Competition in the Soul Fighting Arena.

Because the clues provided by Lin Yu played a significant role, the Martial Soul Branch Hall of Yaoxing City even gave him two gold soul coins.

After spending half a month in Yaoxing City, Lin Yu, who had fully recovered, set off for the Spirit Hall with a deacon who was about to travel to Spirit City.

The time the Spirit Hall uses each year to awaken children's spirits is actually the time when various academies are about to start their new semester.

Those like Lin Yu, who awaken on their own without going through an awakening ceremony, usually miss the registration periods for various academies.

In this situation, you either have to wait for the Soul Master Academy to start, or you can join a class as a transfer student and then be reassigned to a different class after the start of the semester.

The massacre of his village left Lin Yu an orphan, and with no source of income, he had no choice but to choose the latter option.

He couldn't stay in the Martial Soul Branch Hall of Yaoxing City forever; that would be a complete waste of precious cultivation time.

Going to the Elementary Soul Master Academy in Wuhun City not only allows you to cultivate, but also provides a temporary place to stay.

…………

"I've arranged your work-study status for you. How far you grow in the future depends entirely on your own destiny."

With proof and recommendation letters provided by the Martial Soul Branch Hall of Yaoxing City, the status of a work-study student was easily resolved.

The Spirit Hall is an academy for commoner spirit masters, so naturally, many of its members come from impoverished families. These spirit masters can apply to become work-study students.

The entire Spirit City is owned by the Spirit Hall. To support the cultivation of young spirit masters, students who are "work-study students" receive higher wages than ordinary people. This is also a form of support from Spirit City for commoner spirit masters.

As he waved goodbye to the deacon, a middle-aged man approached.

"Hello, student. I'm Zhang Zhao, the student affairs teacher from the Academic Affairs Office. I'll help you with your materials and show you around the campus."

Under the guidance of the student affairs office's dormitory supervisor, Lin Yu verified her identity and received her dormitory key and school uniform.

On the way, Zhang Zhao introduced Lin Yu to the school's training grounds, teaching buildings, library, canteen, and dormitories.

"Take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the dormitory. A temporary homeroom teacher will come to pick you up later."

After arranging everything, Zhang Zhao left Lin Yu's dormitory.

Unlike the dormitory where Tang San lived as a work-study student in the original story, I actually lived in a small single room of about 20 square meters when I was a work-study student.

Perhaps because there are no stoves, water pipes or other miscellaneous facilities here, it looks much more spacious than the small single room I rented when I worked in my previous life!

Not long after I changed into my school uniform and made my bed, there was a knock on the door.

Upon opening the door, a dignified-looking middle-aged woman appeared.

"Hello, classmate. My name is Wei Min, and I am your temporary homeroom teacher."

No? Isn't this a junior high school academy? Why does the other person have a kind of oppressive feeling like a junior high school homeroom teacher?

Almost instinctively, Lin Yu straightened his body and reported his information as if answering a question.

"Hello Teacher Wei, my name is Lin Yu. I have an innate soul power of level eight and a martial soul of blood soul, which is a mutated beast martial soul. I am good at perception and have good recovery ability."

Lin Yu's performance earned Wei Min's nod: "Very good, very energetic."

After speaking, Wei Min patted Lin Yu on the shoulder to encourage her. Seeing that Lin Yu had already tidied up the dormitory, Wei Min then raised her hand to signal Lin Yu to follow her.

"You can make it to our fifth grade class one's last training session in the morning right now. Go run around on the playground and let me see your potential."

Upon hearing "fifth grade," Lin Yu froze, her foot, which had just followed Wei Min, stopping in place.

"Fifth grade, Class 1? Ms. Wei, are you sure you're not mistaken? I just arrived; shouldn't I be starting from first grade?"

Wei Min, who had been quite happy, frowned upon hearing Lin Yu's words: "First year? What would you be doing in first year with your innate soul power at level eight?"

Seeing that the other party had not yet caught up, Wei Min turned to look at Lin Yu, who was full of doubt, and explained.

"The teaching method of our Spirit City Spirit Master Academy is different from other Spirit Master Academyes. Spirit City Spirit Academy does not have a six-year education system. Here, grades are divided according to spirit power level."

Seeing Lin Yu's shock at this ranking system, Wei Min curled her lip in disdain: "You're at level eight in soul power, how dare you try to mingle with those soul masters who are only at level four or five?"

Hmm...that seems to make sense!

It seems there's a reason why Wuhun City is considered a holy land by all soul masters!

Following Wei Min to the training area, there were a total of six enclosed training fields, divided according to the order of grades one through six.

The size and equipment of each training ground are different.

Led by Wei Min, Lin Yu arrived at a training ground with a huge stone carved into the shape of the number "5" at the entrance.

This place is called a training ground, but it's actually just a huge open space, probably over a hundred acres.

At the very edge of the open space is a running track worn into the ground: the track is estimated to be about one kilometer long.

The area enclosed by the running track is filled with various equipment, many of which are used to train strength and agility.

To Lin Yu's surprise, five groups had already gathered here, and the age range of the students in each group was also quite wide.

"Many of your classmates are older than you. Don't you feel that's unfair?"

Noticing Lin Yu's shock, Wei Min couldn't help but ask, and the answer she received this time was exactly what she expected.

"That's fair, because our soul power is all at level eight."

Wei Min shook her head at Lin Yu's somewhat naive answer.

"Geniuses are all arrogant. You'll see when you run five laps with them."

The middle-aged male teacher, who was counting the number of students, greeted Wei Min warmly when he saw her walking over with a child.

As for Lin Yu, who was brought by Wei Min, the male teacher glanced at her and then ignored her.

Having temporarily taken over the class command, Wei Min pulled Lin Yu to her side.

"Dear students, let me introduce you to this new classmate who will be training with you for the next month. Please maintain a good relationship with him."

After a brief announcement, Wei Min pushed Lin Yu out.

Looking at the group of classmates of different ages and with different expressions, Lin Yu nodded to them: "Classmates, my name is Lin Yu, and my martial soul is a mutated martial soul of the power attack type. Please take care of me in the future."
