Douluo Continent: Targeted Thoughts, Winning Over Bibi Dong at the Start

Chapter 31 Return to the Spirit Hall

"Don't be afraid, little friend. It's okay if you miss the Spirit Awakening. Go into the Spirit Hall and find Steward Lu Renjia. He will help you." As he spoke, the guard stepped aside to let "Qin Heng" in.

Qin Heng almost lost his composure upon hearing the name, but fortunately, his mental strength was strong enough that he didn't burst out laughing.

Qin Heng politely thanked the guards, then entered the hall and quickly found Steward Lu Renjia.

The main reason was that he was awakening the martial spirits of several children, and Qin Heng saw it as soon as he arrived.

After greeting Steward Lu and receiving permission, "Qin Heng" moved to the end of the line.

There were six children ahead of them, one of whom had awakened a food-type steamed bun martial soul, but unfortunately his innate soul power was only level one.

Soon it was Qin Heng's turn. He walked into the awakening array and pretended to awaken. Finally, he used his soul power to make his eyes glow slightly, indicating that his martial soul was eyes.

"A Martial Soul Eye? Another useless soul. Let's test its innate soul power."

Qin Heng placed his hand on the crystal ball, then deliberately suppressed his soul power output, causing the crystal ball to only emit three layers of light.

"Huh? A seemingly useless martial soul actually possesses innate level three soul power in its eyes. Child, what's your name? Where are you from?"

"My name is Huo Yuhao, and I come from Notting City," Qin Heng casually made up.

"Your home is in Nottingham? Then how did you end up in Soto?"

"My dad made money in business, and the whole family moved here."

"So that's how it is." As he spoke, Lu Renjia had already written the Martial Soul Certificate and handed it to "Qin Heng". At the same time, he told Qin Heng that he was qualified to become a Soul Master and could take the Martial Soul Certificate to study at the Junior Soul Master Academy.

After watching Qin Heng leave, Lu Renjia sighed and said, "With innate level three soul power, if he could awaken a decent martial soul, he would have some recruitment or investment value. But let's forget about his ruined martial soul and eyes! Besides, this kid said his family moved here because they made money, so they must have the money to go to a soul master academy."

Having obtained the Martial Soul Certificate, Qin Heng went straight to the Junior Soul Master Academy, which he had seen on his way to the Spirit Hall.

Qin Heng took the certificate and went straight up. After the gatekeeper confirmed that the certificate was correct, he immediately let him through. He also reminded Qin Heng that the registration deadline for this year was three months ago, and the first year had already started. If Qin Heng wanted to transfer, he should find the college director.

The gatekeeper was incredibly kind, which Qin Heng thought was the right way to do things. Gatekeepers at the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy must be out of their minds. Any child who enrolls at the Junior Soul Master Academy has the potential to become a Soul Master in the future.

Anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn't offend someone like that. As for the possibility that the proof might be fake, what does that have to do with you? Won't the college professors check it?

Qin Heng asked several students in the academy and quickly found the academic affairs office. After knocking on the door and entering, he handed his martial soul certificate to the man sitting in the main seat.

"Teacher, I just awakened my martial spirit today, and Deacon Lu from the Spirit Hall said I can come here to study."

Upon hearing this, the man took the Martial Soul Certificate, glanced at it, and said, "The registration period for this year has already passed, but considering you have level three innate soul power, I can make an exception and admit you, but..."

'

Qin Heng immediately pulled out a money pouch, took out five gold soul coins, and handed them over, saying excitedly, "Thank you, teacher..."

"No need for all that. I'm a Soul Master, I don't care about your money. What I mean is, the knowledge you miss by enrolling now won't be taught again by the academy. You'll have to learn it on your own. If you can't read, I suggest you come back next year."

"Teacher, I can read."

"That's alright then. For the first two months, the academy mainly taught meditation techniques and literacy. So, you've missed a month of classes. If you spend more time in the library, you should be able to catch up. By the way, are you going to be a work-study student or a self-funded student?"

"I'll just pay for it myself! I heard that many students share a dorm room, and I'd like some peace and quiet."

The teacher nodded and helped make the arrangements.

Half an hour later, after the formalities were completed, "Qin Heng" paid 20 gold soul coins, received a school uniform and a quilt. After the teacher told him the location of the dormitory and the room number, he handed him a key and then left him alone.

Fortunately, the student dormitories were relatively easy to find. Qin Heng quickly found one, and since he had paid for it, he naturally got a single room.

Qin Heng thus officially began his studies at the Soto City Junior Soul Master Academy.

Meanwhile, in the realm of ice and fire.

Guangling Douluo received a message from Qian Daoliu, instructing him to send Qin Heng back to Wuhun City.

Guangling Douluo did not hesitate to carry out Qian Daoliu's order and immediately sent Qin Heng back to Wuhun City.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Qin Heng entered Wuhun City, he was taken away by Yue Guan. Ghost and Light Feather Douluo communicated telepathically, but Light Feather Douluo ultimately did not intervene.

Yue Guan led Qin Heng at breakneck speed to the Papal Palace, then gave Qin Heng a meaningful look.

Qin Heng's heart pounded when he saw this.

"Your Holiness, the person has been brought here." Upon entering the Papal Palace, Yue Guan bowed and said.

Qin Heng looked up at Bibi Dong, who was sitting on the papal throne. She wore a nine-curved purple-gold crown and a light purple, luxurious robe. She had a cool and noble demeanor, but her brows were full of dissatisfaction.

Qin Heng thought to himself, "This is bad. Bibi Dong is acting strangely!"

"Qin Heng, I heard that you created a brand new cultivation method called a cultivation technique?" Bibi Dong's voice rang out in the Papal Palace.

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

"Are you still planning to make this cultivation method public?"

This time, Qin Heng simply nodded.

"Do you realize that your actions are tantamount to feeding the enemy?"

"Your Holiness, I don't think so. I think my actions are breaking the monopoly of the old forces. Those sects and families, relying on their accumulation over the years, have improved their meditation methods generation after generation. With their high-level meditation methods, children of the same aptitude from these sects and families cultivate much faster."

Even after its simplification, my cultivation method is still faster than the meditation methods used by those sects and families. This means they can only cultivate my meditation method like ordinary soul masters, thus negating their advantage in cultivation speed.

"Then isn't my Spirit Hall the same?" Bibi Dong questioned.

"Naturally, they are different. Those who are truly loyal to my martial spirit can cultivate better and more complete techniques. The techniques I want to spread are missing some of the core elements and are not the best."

"Oh? Is that so? Then why is the one I received also a simplified version? Why is it that only the people of the Hall of Offerings can cultivate the complete technique? Am I, the Pope, not loyal enough to the Spirit Hall?"

Qin Heng's expression stiffened upon hearing this. He had already figured it out. Bibi Dong's anger was most likely because Qian Daoliu had "relapsed" again. Adhering to his gentlemanly style of conduct, he would only hand over the cultivation technique to Bibi Dong with his consent.

Qin Heng's back was soaked; wasn't this just getting him into trouble?
