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

Before Lin Yu could even approach her homeroom teacher, the other party came to her first and offered her a job: a student on campus during the holidays.

Wuhun City frequently deals with cases of evil deeds committed by Soul Masters, and during missions, they inevitably encounter some survivors.

Children who have not yet awakened their martial spirit will be taken to an orphanage by Martial Spirit City, and their fate will be decided based on their martial spirit at age six.

Children without soul power will be sent to vocational schools, while children with soul power will be sent to junior soul master academies.

Because the time for the Spirit Hall to unify the awakening of spirits coincides with the holiday time for primary spirit master academies.

However, not all teachers and students will be allowed to leave the school during the holiday, because orphans who awaken during this period and have relatively high innate soul power will be sent directly to the academy. The academy needs to have teachers stationed there to help these orphans learn about soul master knowledge.

The teacher selected for this resident teacher position is Wei Min.

Besides teachers, students can also be stationed at the school, and both receive a salary. However, the salary is not very high, only eighty copper soul coins per day, and they cannot leave the school during their stationing period.

This month, Wei Min frequently went to the blacksmith shop to check on Lin Yu's situation and knew Lin Yu's wages at the blacksmith shop: he could earn sixty or seventy copper soul coins in half a day.

The sixty or seventy copper soul coins earned in half a day are not subsidies, but pure piecework commission, and a lot of time is wasted on starting and stopping the furnace.

If you really think about it, working a day at a blacksmith's shop is more worthwhile than spending a day at school.

Under these circumstances, Wei Min approached Lin Yu hoping that Lin Yu would stay.

This involves some secrets within the Spirit Hall.

For the Spirit Hall, the orphans rescued by the enforcement team during their missions have a stronger sense of identification with the Spirit Hall and are more suitable to be cultivated as the core members of the Spirit Hall.

On the surface, the college arranges for orphans to stay at the school during the holidays so that they can have a job.

In fact, this period is the academy's secret training time for its students.

This was something that outsiders were unaware of, except for the core members at the college's class teacher level.

Logically speaking, the choice between working on campus and working outside should be in Lin Yu's hands, and she has no right to interfere.

But she had seen Lin Yu's hard work over the past month, and she didn't want such a hardworking child to miss out on this opportunity because of making money.

When Wei Min approached Lin Yu, she thought she was going to subtly hint at her intentions.

To her surprise, Lin Yu agreed to the job of being stationed at the school without hesitation.

After confirming his assignment at the academy, Lin Yu asked if he could forge iron at the academy, as he needed to cultivate his skills through iron forging...

…………

Lin Yu didn't know why his homeroom teacher had approached him about the school residency program, because he had already planned to do so after learning that work-study students could reside on campus.

To outsiders, he might seem like he's working hard at the blacksmith's shop all day just to earn that little bit of money.

But Lin Yu remained clear-headed; blacksmithing was merely a side effect of his cultivation.

Unlike other martial soul cultivation methods that require meditation, his martial soul requires increasing blood flow to improve cultivation speed.

There are other ways to speed up blood flow than blacksmithing, but it just so happens that blacksmithing gives him the opportunity to learn about subsequent spirit forging, fusion forging, soul forging, and heaven forging.

Abandoning such a good cultivation environment at the academy to forge iron? He must have lost his mind!

…………

"There are quite a few geniuses this year. Six have innate soul power level six, that's an auspicious number. There's also one with soul power level seven... Hmm? And another prodigy with innate soul power level nine?!"

When Wei Min and all the other students heard about the ninth-level innate soul power, they were all stunned and looked at the eight awkward-looking children in front of them.

Wei Min glanced at the eight people, and finally looked at the little girl with short blonde hair among them.

"Hu Liena, Martial Soul: Heavenly Fox, Innate Soul Power Level 9."

When the teacher called on her, the little girl stood up and said, "Teacher, my name is Hu Liena."

After reviewing the information again, Wei Min stepped forward and patted the little girl on the shoulder, signaling her to stand on her side.

After greeting Hu Liena, Wei Min took out the roster and called on the other trainees.

After taking attendance, Wei Min put away the roster and looked at the ten students who remained at the school.

"You guys take the juniors' luggage to the dorms first. Everyone gather at training ground number six at ten o'clock."

After assigning the tasks, Wei Min left, leaving everyone to discuss Training Ground No. 6.

Training Ground No. 6 is the training ground used by sixth-grade students. It is not only larger in area, but also has more complete facilities.

More importantly, the use of Training Ground No. 6 requires a Soul Master to oversee it, which seems to be different from ordinary training grounds.

During the discussion, Lin Yu suddenly realized that none of the ten resident students on her side were in the sixth grade!

Surely there can't be no orphans in sixth grade? But then Lin Yu thought about it again and felt relieved.

In the academy, advancing to the sixth year is easy; all you need to do is reach level nine in soul power to apply for a transfer.

Those sixth-grade students aren't far from breaking through to level ten. They might even advance during the one or two months of vacation. How could they possibly stay at the school at this crucial moment?

Perhaps because she was picking up a new student today and didn't have to attend classes as usual, Lin Yu started to have all sorts of wild thoughts.

Although lost in thought, Lin Yu didn't neglect her important task: helping her new classmate with his luggage.

Helping the boy closest to her with his luggage, Lin Yu began to introduce the current situation of the college to the freshman, just like a senior.

Although it's a holiday now, there are still teachers stationed at the school, so classes will still be held.

Furthermore, the course order was the same as that of Class 1, except that the evening academic class was replaced with cultivation guidance.

Although Wei Min said to meet at playground number six at ten o'clock, all the students came over after putting their luggage away.

This is Training Ground No. 6, and everyone, whether a newcomer or a veteran, is extremely curious about it.

As the homeroom teacher, Wei Min naturally understood the children's temperament and therefore did not rush to the classroom at the last minute.

"It seems that everyone is very enthusiastic. I suppose many of you don't know me, so let me introduce myself first."

After greeting everyone, Wei Min's aura changed, becoming even more refreshing and aloof.

Four spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, slowly emerged from beneath Wei Min's feet.

In her hand appeared a long zither made of jade, its surface shimmering with a bluish-green light.

"I, Wei Min, with the martial soul Azure Jade Zither, and a level 45 support-type Soul Master, will be your teacher for the next two months, and will guide your cultivation in the future."

A level 45 support-type Soul Master?!

My homeroom teacher, who usually keeps a low profile and only handles student disputes, actually has this kind of ability?!

If it weren't for the homeroom teacher's extraordinary abilities displayed in front of everyone today, Lin Yu probably would never have guessed her true cultivation level in her entire life.

"As usual, everyone should run five laps around the track first to get used to the intensity of the exercise here."

After demonstrating her martial spirit, Wei Min stood aside, and the jade zither was suspended in the air, playing a melodious tune.

As the music began, everyone quickly arrived at the track.

Lin Yu and the group of veteran students exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

"According to the academy rules, you can only start running after the sound has finished, so don't jump the gun."

A boy who looked to be just over nine years old spoke up to remind the group of newcomers.

Lin Yu thought for a moment and added, "You can activate your Martial Soul while running, but running consumes a lot of energy, so try to activate your Martial Soul later."

Upon hearing Lin Yu's suggestion, all the veteran students turned to stare at him. Then, seemingly at a loss, they shook their heads and sighed, as if Lin Yu had revealed some important information.

Lin Yu, who was standing in the front row, could see very clearly that they weren't at their wits' end; they were practically bursting into laughter.
