As the group moved forward, Lu Mingfei became increasingly uneasy. Finally, it was his turn to enter the inner room. A Spirit Hall steward in a black and white uniform was wiping the sweat from his forehead, clearly indicating that awakening a spirit was a physically demanding task.

"Step forward and stand still." Su Yuntao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes." Lu Mingfei nodded immediately and stepped into the circle. He had already seen the process while queuing, and he had to admit that the deacon's martial spirit was quite frightening.

As Su Yuntao clapped his hands out, injecting soul power into the six awakening stones on the ground, golden light spots surged out and converged on Lu Mingfei's body.

Lu Mingfei could feel something inside his body trying to break out. He was scared, but he couldn't make a sound. In a daze, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"elder brother."

Lu Mingfei's vision blurred for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, a refreshing breeze was blowing on his face. Before his eyes was a sky full of stars, and the air was filled with the fragrance of locust blossoms.

In the distance, the city is brightly lit, with countless cars weaving through the dark overpasses like fireflies, and the skyscrapers of the business district reflecting neon lights under the radiant glow of various lights.

He had been looking at this view for several years; it was his uncle's rooftop, his secret base.

"elder brother."

Lu Mingfei saw the boy sitting on the rooftop calling him "brother." He originally wanted to say that it was dangerous to sit there, but his body moved involuntarily, and he sat down next to the boy, as if he had gotten used to doing so.

The boy was very well-behaved, dressed in a black suit with a white silk scarf, giving him the look of a young British gentleman. But what was most striking were his pale gold eyes.

"Hello, I'm Lu Mingfei. Who are you?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment because he saw his own reflection in the faint light of the other person's eyes.

"I am Lu Mingze," the boy said with a smile, gazing at the city.

Lu Mingfei thought he was joking. Didn't he know who Lu Mingze was? A chubby little square-shaped guy who was 160cm tall and weighed 160kg. If he could grow up to look like a boy, would he need to spend all his time online being sentimental and trying to pick up little girls?

"I'm sorry, brother, I've gotten myself into a little trouble this time." The boy's face suddenly showed the pleading look of someone who had been caught red-handed doing something wrong.

Looking at his childish face, Lu Mingfei felt a sudden pang in his heart.

Lu Mingfei remembered that when he was about to close his laptop, it seemed that this boy's voice startled him and caused him to press the wrong button.

“But brother, don’t be afraid. Although we don’t know what kind of twisted sense of humor that being had for you, we have nothing to fear as long as we’re together.” The boy spread his arms wide, as if he were a free bird: “Infinite world, infinite possibilities, brother, maybe this kind of life is surprisingly suitable for us.”

"Suitable my foot! I'm practically begging for food now." Lu Mingfei rubbed his forehead, his head aching. The boy kept saying things he couldn't understand, things that seemed to have a strange, implied meaning.

“You always have this habit of running away, brother, but that’s fate. You can’t escape it, you can’t stop it.” The boy turned to look at Lu Mingfei, shook his head helplessly and smiled, “You can treat this world as your best game. As long as we beat the game, we can go home.”

"You make it sound so easy," Lu Mingfei said, licking his lips.

"Of course it's easy, after all, my brother is a gaming expert." The boy had a faint, angelic smile on his face.

"And you also need to think about who else is waiting for us."

Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat, as if he had been suddenly awakened from an unbelievable nightmare. He suddenly felt an immense sadness fill his nostrils.

So I really was thinking about them.

“Good, remember this feeling. When you make up your mind, even the world can't stop you!” The boy suddenly hugged Lu Mingfei: “I won’t hold you back either. The cheat code Something for Nothing 1% means you have the power to control your own life. Don’t die. It’s already open to you.”

"What the hell?" Lu Mingfei was still immersed in his memories when he suddenly paused. It sounded a bit like a cheat code.

Before he could ask any more questions, Lu Mingze suddenly pushed him from behind. Caught off guard, he lost his balance and fell off the rooftop.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Lu Mingfei's last sight of Lu Mingze waving and smiling on the rooftop was before his consciousness was completely swallowed by darkness.

Lu Mingfei suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden light shone from them, accompanied by an aura that seemed capable of burning the entire world.

Su Yuntao felt as if two suns were shining in front of him, his mind went blank, and he froze on the spot.

"This is?"

Lu Mingfei awoke with a start, the golden light instantly receding, and the overwhelming pressure dissipating in an instant.

Su Yuntao finally came to his senses, his eyes wide open. He immediately realized what had just happened, and he quickly looked over carefully, but the next moment he showed a look of disappointment.

They initially thought they had encountered the suppression of a legendary high-level beast spirit, but upon closer inspection, the child in front of them showed no change whatsoever except for his glowing eyes, which was clearly not a characteristic of a beast spirit.

The imposing aura he felt just now was probably just an illusion caused by his lack of vigilance and the other party's mental energy being released for a moment.

Thinking of this, he felt a pang of regret. The eyes are the most vulnerable part of the human body, and he was probably destined to have little outstanding combat ability in the future. He couldn't possibly kill someone with a single glare in battle, could he? Perhaps they would only be of some use in night vision for military reconnaissance in the future; otherwise, they would probably be considered a useless martial spirit.

"Young man, what's your name?" Su Yuntao composed himself and asked. Regardless of the circumstances, the innate soul power level of this martial soul must be quite high to possess such mental pressure.

"My name is Lu Mingfei."

Lu Mingfei subconsciously touched his eye sockets. He was certain that he was different, because the world in front of him was like a 360P screen suddenly refreshed to 4K ultra-high definition, and he was accompanied by a refreshing feeling that was hard to describe.

“Your martial soul should be eyes.” Su Yuntao handed over a bowl of water: “This is the first time I’ve seen one like this. It should enhance eyesight and mental strength. In any case, it will definitely allow you to cultivate.”

"Eyes?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused. He had just seen so many Blue Silver Grass sickles and carrots, but he never expected that eyes could also be used as a martial soul. The martial souls in this world are really strange and wonderful!

"Holy crap, where did this light bulb come from?!"

Taking the water and examining the reflection closely, Lu Mingfei was surprised to find that his eyes had become exactly the same as the child who called himself Lu Mingze, possessing an eerie beauty, and... majesty!

"Alright, use your mind to recall your martial soul. Let's test your soul power." Su Yuntao quickly spoke, picking up the crystal ball and handing it to him.

"Oh, okay." Lu Mingfei quickly nodded.

Actually, there were some things he didn't tell the truth. With the awakening of his martial soul, his body seemed to undergo other changes, but he subconsciously suppressed them. Otherwise, he felt that he might... grow wings?

It's an illusion! It must be an illusion!

Lu Mingfei closed his eyes to calm himself down. When he opened them again, his eyes had returned to their original black pupils.

He stretched out his right hand, and as soon as his palm touched the crystal ball, a dazzling light instantly filled the entire room.

"Innate full soul power!" Su Yuntao's eyes widened as he gazed at the radiant light filling the hall before him.

He encountered two geniuses with innate full soul power, a talent that comes along only once in a century, within a year. But why did neither of them seem to be very useful?

He hesitated about whether to recruit the other party. If the Eye Martial Soul truly was a useless one, he might be punished as well. However, the Eye Martial Soul was more valuable than Blue Silver Grass, so to be on the safe side, he decided to report the information and let the higher-ups decide. This way, he would be doing good without any consequences.

After making up his mind, Su Yuntao decided to first establish a rapport and said, "Brother Lu Mingfei, you are a level 10 innate full soul power, a genius that is rare to see in a hundred years. Where are your parents? You can ask them to take you to Notting Academy to register."

Genius? Lu Mingfei never imagined that such an evaluation would be bestowed upon him one day, but he still remembered his ill intentions, and immediately lowered his head and pretended to be pitiful: "They are not in this world."

He was telling the truth, since he was penniless and unregistered. If he didn't play the victim, he would really have to beg for food.

"I'm sorry." Su Yuntao hadn't expected Lu Mingfei to have such a background.

"Here's what we'll do. Notting Academy has a lot of vacant work-study positions every year. I'll let you fill one of them, and that will solve your food, clothing, and accommodation problems for now. Once you absorb a spirit ring and become a spirit master during Notting Academy's annual Soul Hunting Season, your life will naturally be fine from now on."

As Su Yuntao spoke, he wrote down the Martial Soul Certificate. As a deacon of the Martial Soul Hall, he could decide on even a single work-study student position.

"Here you go. Just hand this certificate to the academic affairs office. Oh, and I have some change here, take this." Su Yuntao took out five silver coins and handed them over. "In a few months, during Notting Academy's annual concentrated Soul Hunting Season, as long as you become a Soul Master, you can get a Soul Master subsidy. At that time, you won't have any problems making a living."

"Thank you, Deacon!" Lu Mingfei accepted the gift with both hands and bowed deeply to him. He felt grateful for the kindness shown to him and would definitely repay the favor when he had the chance.

"You're too kind." Su Yuntao smiled and shook his head. "While it's still light, you should hurry up and register at the academy."

Lu Mingfei bowed again to express his gratitude before turning around and leaving. Having awakened his martial spirit and gained the qualification to enter the beginner village, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"No way, what am I happy about? This means going back to elementary school!"

Chapter 3 Nottingham Academy

As the sun sets in the west, its rays stretch the shadows of the city endlessly.

Lu Mingfei asked several people for directions and hurriedly made his way to the destination.

Looking at the towering gate in front of him, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but be a little surprised. He originally thought that this kind of place, which resembled a primary school, might be a bit dilapidated, but he didn't expect it to look even more imposing than their Shilan. If you didn't know better, you would think it was a luxurious manor of some European nobleman.

"Hello, I'm here to register." Lu Mingfei stepped forward and spoke to the young man who looked like a doorman standing at the entrance.

The gatekeeper frowned and looked Lu Mingfei up and down: "Where's the proof?"

Lu Mingfei noticed his impatience and quickly handed over the certificate.

"Another one with innate full soul power?" The gatekeeper's eyes widened. After looking at it, he handed the certificate back with both hands and immediately opened the door, saying, "Young man, go straight into the first building after entering the Academic Affairs Office. You can see it on the first floor."

"Thank you." Lu Mingfei quickly put away his certificate, not noticing the Sichuan opera face-changing performance at the gatehouse. He just wanted to get in and register as soon as possible and ask where the canteen was. He was starving after walking for so long.

However, as soon as he stepped into the school gate, Lu Mingfei's eyelids twitched. He suddenly had a sudden urge. But the feeling came and went quickly, and he didn't pay attention to it, thinking that he was just hungry and his heart was racing.

Following the main road, Mingfei quickly arrived at the Academic Affairs Office, where several teachers were sitting and chatting, presumably waiting to get off work.

"Are you a new student? Show me your certificate." Director Su stood up and smiled as he saw the visitor.

"Hello teacher, I'm Lu Mingfei, a work-study student here to register." Lu Mingfei handed over his certificate as soon as he entered.

"My surname is Su, and I'm the director of the Academic Affairs Office. Just call me Director Su. By the way, you're the third work-study student today." Director Su took the certificate with a kind tone and glanced at it, but the next moment she rubbed her eyes hard.

"My god, another innate full soul power, an eye-type martial soul?"

As soon as Director Su spoke, several young teachers nearby quickly gathered around.

"It really is innate full soul power. What's going on this year? A Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power, a little girl who already has a hundred-year soul ring, and now there's an eye martial soul."

Several teachers looked around at Lu Mingfei with surprise. This was innate full soul power, and not a useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass. He might be a future Title Douluo!

"Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power?" Lu Mingfei was slightly surprised when he heard what the teachers said. Just now at the Awakening Center, nearly a third of the children awakened Blue Silver Grass. Even he now knew that Blue Silver Grass seemed to be the most useless martial soul, without exception.

"It says here that you were introduced by Master Su Yuntao. We need to test your soul power level to enroll you," Director Su said, barely suppressing his excitement.

"No problem." Lu Mingfei nodded. The entrance test was normal; otherwise, what if someone cheated?

Soon, looking at the dazzling light on the crystal ball, Director Su smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Student Lu, welcome to our Notting College. This is the school uniform. The work-study dormitory is in Dormitory Building 7. The teacher in charge there will arrange work-study work for you."

"Three months from now, the academy will arrange for a few graduating students to go to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt souls. When you become a formal Soul Master, you can apply to change your dormitory with the Spirit Hall subsidy. Also, if you have any other problems, you can come to me and I will definitely try my best to help you solve them."

"Thank you, Director Su." Lu Mingfei accepted the school uniform, feeling somewhat flattered. Was this the legendary treatment of a good student? He never imagined in his life that a teacher would think highly of him!

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to remind you of, and you must remember it!" Director Su suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped Lu Mingfei: "Our dean has a friend who is temporarily staying at the academy. We call him Master. If he knows that you have innate full soul power, he will definitely try his best to take you as his disciple. You must think carefully and not be fooled by him."

“Each Soul Master can only have one teacher in their lifetime. Although he is indeed knowledgeable, his reputation in the Soul Master world is not very good. Moreover, he has already taken on a Blue Silver Grass disciple with full innate Soul Power today. You'd better not get involved.”

A master? But judging from Director Su's tone, it sounds more like he meant clown?

"Thank you for the reminder, Director Su." Lu Mingfei quickly nodded and made the name a habit. Someone who deserves such a strong reminder from Director Su must be someone no ordinary person.

Leaving the registrar's office, Lu Mingfei quickly headed towards the dormitory building, having already located the cafeteria. He put down his clothes and prepared to go there. Just as he reached the dormitory building, a teacher with a zombie-like face walked towards him.

"Hello, teacher." Lu Mingfei subconsciously greeted him, but the teacher gave him a disdainful look and walked away with his two big nostrils flared.

Lu Mingfei didn't care; in fact, he thought it was more in line with his personality. After all, the world couldn't be full of good people, could it? Given his current sweaty and smelly appearance, it was normal for him to be looked down upon.

Seventh Dormitory.

The work-study student dormitory was actually a large dormitory. Lu Mingfei looked out the window and saw that there were not many children and all the beds were empty. This was good news for him. He knew how troublesome it could be if there were too many naughty kids. Not to mention anything else, Xiao Wu's energy was terrifying.

"Hello, I'm the new work-study student today." Lu Mingfei greeted them from the doorway, feeling utterly hopeless at the thought of being classmates with these kids in the future.

"Another work-study student. This is the third one today. It's really strange." Wang Hu scratched his head, feeling that this year was really weird.

"Lu Mingfei, you're here too! That's great! You were just awakening your martial soul, right?" Xiao Wu was very happy and patted her chest as she continued, "Perfect timing! I just beat Tang San and became the dormitory leader. Do you want to try it out too? If you beat me, I'll be the new leader."

"Are you kidding me?" Lu Mingfei didn't expect the dormitory to have such simple and honest customs: "You're already a Soul Master, how could I possibly beat you?"

Lu Mingfei quickly refused. Regardless of whether he could win the fight, he had no intention of playing house with them; it would be too embarrassing.

"Fine, you've only just awakened, so I won't bully you. By the way, what's your martial soul, and how much innate soul power do you have?" Xiao Wu pursed her lips. Along the way, she already knew how timid Lu Mingfei was.

"My martial soul is my eyes, and I have innate full soul power," Lu Mingfei said truthfully.

"Another child with innate full soul power!" Someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and then everyone subconsciously looked at the child who looked somewhat malnourished in the blue patched clothes.

Lu Mingfei also looked over. He had already heard that there was another work-study student with innate full soul power Blue Silver Grass today, and this should be the one.

"He was born with full soul power, just like Tang San," Xiao Wu said.

"An eye-shaped martial soul?" Tang San asked with curiosity, "Young Lu Mingfei, may I take a look at your martial soul?"

"Of course." Lu Mingfei nodded. He was somewhat surprised that Tang San, who looked even more like a beggar than himself, was so polite, but he felt that there was something strange about his tone.

With a thought, Lu Mingfei activated his Golden Eyes. On the way here, he had become proficient in controlling this power called Martial Soul, but he deliberately kept it at a minimum standby state, only wanting to fool these kids. After all, using this thing would consume physical strength.

Chapter 4 Strange

"It glows!"

"He looks so handsome."

Despite being praised by a group of kids, Lu Mingfei still felt a little embarrassed. In fact, he also thought that the glowing contact lenses suited him well, and he wished he could show them to Chen Wenwen when he got back.

Just as everyone was watching, Tang San secretly activated his Purple Demon Eye. A layer of purple light appeared on his eye membrane as he stared at Lu Mingfei's golden eyes. He wanted to see what the difference was between Tang Sect's ultimate technique and his eye-based martial soul.

But just as his eyes met Lu Mingfei's, Tang San was suddenly horrified to find that the purple light of his Purple Demon Eyes melted instantly under the other's gaze, like a candle falling into a fire. Before he could react, the golden light pierced his mind like needles.

"Tang San!" Wang Sheng noticed that Tang San almost lost his balance. "What's wrong with you?"
