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

Is it a tradition in Nottingham that the gatekeeper stops people?

Could it be that Yu Xiaogang will come to the rescue next?

Just as Lin Yu was imagining things, he sensed a carriage appear on the other side of the road.

The driver of the carriage was an ordinary coachman.

However, there were three auras inside the carriage.

Two Great Soul Masters and one Four-Ring Soul Master.

The reason Lin Yu looked at the carriage was because he sensed a very familiar bloodline power inside it.

A few days ago, in the cave, he was affected by this bloodline power and could only seek a way to survive through the Ten Thousand Refinements.

It was quite obvious who was inside the carriage.

But what about Liu Erlong?

Lin Yu frowned and stood quietly at the academy gate, waiting for the carriage to arrive.

The gatekeeper naturally saw the approaching carriage and, with great keen eyesight, identified the people inside.

"Boy, that's the academy dean's carriage. Don't stand here blocking the way."

As he spoke, the security guard stepped forward, ready to shove the young man dressed in cheap clothes.

The security guard, who had just taken two steps forward, suddenly felt his heart clench, and a powerful heartbeat thudded in his mind.

The sudden sound of a heartbeat startled the gatekeeper so much that he stood frozen in place.

"Thump," two seconds later, another strong heartbeat sounded, and his heart clenched again.

Even the most foolish gatekeeper realized something was wrong and silently moved away from Lin Yu, running towards the carriage.

The carriage was stopped by the gatekeeper five meters away from Lin Yu.

The gatekeeper told the people inside the carriage about Lin Yu's situation, and then two heads emerged from the windows on the left and right sides of the carriage, respectively.

On the left is a face that is ruddy and over forty years old, but exudes an air of decadence.

On the right is a calm-looking face that appears to be in its fifties, but is full of energy and vitality.

"Friend, I am the dean of the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy. May I ask what brings you to our academy gate?"

The man on the right spoke, his expression full of curiosity and scrutiny.

"I'm here to see my dean. A few days ago, we passed through Notting City, and she said she was going to visit a friend and asked me to come to the Junior Soul Master Academy to see her when I left."

Lin Yu glanced at the ruddy-faced Yu Xiaogang without changing his expression. If he were to meet Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang would definitely not have this expression.

Furthermore, judging from the configuration of the carriage, it seems that Yu Xiaogang and this dean went together to help Tang San hunt for his second spirit ring.

It normally takes ten days to half a month to hunt for a soul ring, and they've only just returned. It's conceivable that Liu Erlong hasn't seen Yu Xiaogang at all since arriving in Notting City.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu chuckled and waved to the dean of the academy.

"It seems she's not here right now, so I won't bother her any longer and will be leaving now."

After saying that, Lin Yu turned and left.

"Excuse me, student, please wait a moment."

A voice, tinged with excitement yet tinged with anxiety, rang out from inside the carriage.

Lin Yu, who had sensed the voice's owner, didn't want to turn around, but was also curious about what kind of trouble this master could cause, so she stopped and looked at the master who was excitedly getting off the carriage with a curious expression.

"Is there something you need?"

Seemingly surprised that the other party would give him such face, Yu Xiaogang, who had just hurriedly stepped down from the carriage, quickly coughed lightly.

He quickly straightened his clothes, then put his hands behind his back and revealed a mysterious and confident smile.

"Excuse me, you don't seem very old. Could you tell me which college you're from?"

After Yu Xiaogang got off the carriage, the dean of Notting Academy and a thin figure in the carriage also got off.

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's question, the dean of Nottingham Academy also looked at Lin Yu with curiosity.

Since this kid came to see his dean, his dean is most likely here to see him.

Knowing which college the other party comes from makes it easier to visit them back in the future.

Lin Yu did not answer Yu Xiaogang's question, but instead looked at Tang San, who had just gotten off the carriage.

"This young man has already broken through to level 20 at such a young age, why is he still staying in a junior soul master academy instead of an intermediate one?"

The graduation requirement for a primary Soul Master Academy is one ring; after reaching one ring, one can enter an intermediate Soul Master Academy.

The question was perfectly reasonable, but the dean of the junior soul master academy turned pale upon hearing it.

Yu Xiaogang was at a loss for words and could only look at Tang San.

Sensing the teacher's predicament, Tang San stepped forward.

"Senior, the reason I don't want to go to the intermediate soul master academy is because my teacher is here. He is a master, and with his guidance, I don't need to go to the intermediate soul master academy."

Lin Yu's gaze swept back and forth between Yu Xiaogang and the dean of the junior academy, and she couldn't help but...

"Young man, if your teacher truly cares about you, shouldn't he send you to an intermediate-level Soul Master Academy to see other students of the same level? Or do you simply enjoy the sense of superiority of having no rivals in the entire academy?"

Tang San was not good with words, and before he could come up with a solution, the senior's voice continued.

"Does this mean your teacher won't be able to accompany you if you go to the intermediate Soul Master Academy? If he's capable of teaching students at the intermediate academy, they should be quite happy to have him as a teacher. If the intermediate Soul Master Academy isn't willing to accept him, doesn't that mean he's not capable of teaching Soul Masters above the first ring? What qualifications does he have to teach you?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San was taken aback, realizing that what the other person said made a lot of sense, and then looked at his teacher.

Feeling embarrassed by being questioned by his own student, Yu Xiaogang was about to speak in defense when Lin Yu's words rang out again.

"Young man, do you think it's possible that your teacher and this dean made some kind of deal? The dean needs you as a living advertisement to recruit students for him. What benefits could he possibly gain from this, or what favor could he repay, or something else?"

On the street, being pointed at and said such things by a young boy was incredibly embarrassing for the dean of the junior soul master academy.

"Excuse me, could you please speak in private? It's not appropriate to do this in public."

Lin Yu glanced at Yu Xiaogang, who looked slightly embarrassed, and Tang San, who was deep in thought, and smiled: "Sure, some things are indeed not suitable to say in front of a large audience, but..."

Lin Yu changed the subject, looking around the junior academy and the gatekeeper with great interest.

"I just don't know if I can walk into this junior soul master academy upright today, or if I can walk out of the academy upright as well."

Sensing the veiled meaning in the words and knowing what the other party was worried about, the dean of the academy smiled and then waved goodbye.

"The one who just stopped you was this master. You can go inside the academy and talk to him. I have some other things to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer."

The dean left decisively, without even glancing at Yu Xiaogang.

I wanted to keep the other person here and talk to them about something. I didn't expect that I would be able to keep them here, but the other person would say so much right away!

But now he was in a precarious situation, and even if he wanted the other person to leave, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Excuse me, could you please speak to me in private?"
