Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

But then he thought that his reputation points would definitely increase by a few points after this class, and he was immediately motivated to keep going.

Chapter 11 This is what the world of Soul Masters should be like!

Finally, on the eighth lap, Qin Yi's speed inevitably slowed down again.

The prolonged high-speed running had severely depleted his physical strength.

Lin Wan also slowed down, no longer following closely, maintaining his upper-middle position, as if he wasn't the one who had just been competing with Qin Yi.

When Iron-Faced Zhao shouted to stop, most of the students had already collapsed to the ground.

Qin Yi braced himself on his knees, breathing heavily, his back soaked with sweat. He looked up at Lin Wan, who was catching her breath not far away, his eyes filled with confusion and resentment.

He couldn't understand why someone with only a first-level innate Ice Fox Martial Soul could have such a good physique.

To this, Lin Wan only wanted to answer.

Bro, I have a cheat code.

Iron-faced Zhao walked to the front of the line, his gaze sweeping over the collapsed students, finally landing on Lin Wan and Qin Yi, especially lingering on Lin Wan for two seconds.

"Physical fitness is the foundation of a Soul Master. Look at you! You can't even handle a few laps?"

Iron-faced Zhao's voice remained stern, "Qin Yi, Lin Wan, you two have good physical fitness, get out of class dismissed."

Lin Wan helplessly touched his nose. It seemed that he, being so dazzling, was destined not to be able to keep a low profile.

He glanced at the system panel; his reputation points had increased by a few more.

……

As the day's classes came to a close, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed Tianshuang City in a weary golden-red hue.

Lin Wan followed the flow of people out of the dimly lit teaching building.

His soul power was constantly circulating, rapidly repairing his physical fatigue, but he couldn't shake off the mental exhaustion.

After all, a day's lessons are not easy for a 6-year-old.

Lin Wan planned to grab a quick, simple dinner at the work-study cafeteria before heading back to her dorm.

As soon as he reached the open space in front of the teaching building, a familiar figure came into his view.

"Brother Wan!" The voice was filled with excitement and affection.

Lin Wan paused, a hint of surprise flashing in her sea-blue eyes, before she understood.

The person who came was Lin Zao.

He was wearing a brand-new gray outfit issued by the Spirit Hall, standing under a withered tree with almost no leaves, waving vigorously at Lin Wan.

"Good morning." Lin Wan walked over, a gentle smile naturally curving her lips.

"Why are you at the academy? Didn't the Spirit Hall have any plans for you today?"

"Hehe, I'll be free after practicing the basics this afternoon! Lord Moraki said I can move around freely for a while."

Lin Zao ran up to Lin Wan in a few steps, her face beaming with pure joy, "Brother Wan, let's go! I'll treat you to dinner!"

"Have a meal?"

Lin Wan was pulled away by him, feeling both amused and exasperated. "The cafeteria is over there, you don't need to treat me."

He pointed to a low building not far away, where a few wisps of smoke were rising from the building.

"Oh no, I'm not going there!"

Lin Zao shook his head vigorously, pulling Lin Wan straight toward the academy gate.

"I've heard about the food in the work-study cafeteria, and it's not good. I'll take you to eat something better!"

Watching Lin Zao lead her out of the academy gate with practiced ease, and then turn towards the city center and the location of the Spirit Hall, Lin Wan's doubts finally came together.

He stopped and asked tentatively, "Zaozao, you're not going to take me to the Spirit Hall's cafeteria, are you?"

Lin Zao suddenly turned around, her eyes wide open, looking at Lin Wan with surprise.

"Brother Wan! You're amazing! You even guessed that."

He scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Yes, Lord Moraki agreed. He said I can bring my friends to the Spirit Hall's public dining area for a meal."

Lin Wan understood. It seemed that the people of the Spirit Hall in Tianshuang City had given Lin Zao, a genius with innate soul power level 7, a great deal of freedom.

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

Lin Wan frowned slightly. There were too many abnormalities about him, and he still didn't want to have too much contact with the Spirit Hall.

"It's okay, it's really okay."

Lin Zao patted his chest and assured him, "I asked very clearly, Lord Moraki said it himself. Since he's your friend, it's fine to bring him over for a meal, and it'll also help you get familiar with the surroundings. He specifically told me not to bring too many people, and not to wander around."

Lin Zao even imitated Lord Moraki's tone for Lin Wan, and did so perfectly.

Seeing the expectation on Lin Zao's face, Lin Wan finally agreed. After all, Lin Zao was about to go to the Martial Soul Academy to study, and she didn't know when they would see each other again.

He stopped refusing and nodded.

"Alright, then I'll benefit from your help, Lord Hayashi." His tone was slightly teasing.

Lin Zao blushed when addressed as "sir," chuckled sheepishly, and quickened her pace, pulling Lin Wan along.

"Brother Wan, please stop making fun of me. Let's hurry up, the Spirit Hall's mealtime is almost over."

After passing through several increasingly bustling streets, the magnificent golden dome of the Spirit Hall reappeared before our eyes.

This time, Lin Zao did not linger in the square, but instead led Lin Wan around to a relatively low-key but still impressive gate at the side and rear.

Two solemn-looking guards stood at the entrance, dressed in the Spirit Hall's standard leather armor.

Lin stepped forward, took out a small bronze badge from his pocket, and handed it over.

"Brother Guard, I am Lin Zao."

The guard took the badge and examined it carefully, then glanced at Lin Wan.

Lin Wan's outstanding appearance with silver hair and blue eyes caused a strange look to flash in the guard's eyes, but he did not ask any questions and just nodded seriously.

"Deacon Moraki has given instructions. Let's go in. The public dining area is at the end of the west corridor on the first floor."

"Thank you, guard!" Lin Zao quickly took the badge and pulled Lin Wan inside.

Stepping inside the Spirit Hall, Lin Wan couldn't help but exclaim, "The Spirit Hall is really rich!"

The corridor was spacious, with a floor as smooth as a mirror, and the walls were carved with exquisite martial spirit patterns and epic battle reliefs.

Lin Zao was clearly not a first-timer here; he skillfully led Lin Wan to the dining area.

Pushing open the two heavy oak doors, the aroma of food wafted into Lin Wan's nose, and he subconsciously swallowed.

It smells so good!

Having transmigrated to the Douluo Continent for three years, this was the first time he had smelled such a fragrant aroma.

The Spirit Hall's public dining area was much larger and more luxurious than Lin Wan had imagined.

The spacious and bright hall is furnished with neatly arranged long dining tables and comfortable chairs.

The long dining table was laden with a dazzling array of food: whole roasted chickens, fragrant stews, fresh bread, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and even delicate desserts and steaming soups.

Seeing this, Lin Wan couldn't help but shed tears.

He hadn't seen so much food in three years.

Lin Zao pulled Lin Wan and rushed to the food counter, "Brother Wan, look! There's so much delicious food. Just take whatever you want."

Looking at the sumptuous food, Lin Wan sighed inwardly: This is what the world of Soul Masters should be like!

Chapter 12 The Nine-Colored Deer and the Starry Sky Forest

Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life.

This place is like an emerald embedded in the vast and starry forest.

The lake water has an incredible emerald green color. The rich primordial energy and life force of heaven and earth are almost solidified here, turning into a light mist that swirls around the lake surface.

Ancient trees stand tall by the lake, their lush foliage obscuring most of the sky. Only streaks of golden sunlight stubbornly penetrate the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows.

This is the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, where even 100,000-year-old soul beasts can only serve as gatekeepers.

Now, in this sacred land of the soul beast world, on a smooth, dark green boulder on the lake shore, a creature lies with its eyes closed, radiating a soft and sacred aura.

This is the Nine-Colored Deer that Lin Wan released into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Its body is now much stronger than when it first arrived in Douluo Continent, and its fur is smoother and shinier.

On it, nine colors flow endlessly under the nourishment of life, just like a living thing.

And the tips of its small, delicate antlers were also surrounded by twinkling starlight.

The Nine-Colored Deer is currently cultivating.

As a divine beast born from the auspiciousness of heaven and earth, its affinity for and control over energy is an innate instinct.

When Lin Wan released the Nine-Colored Deer into the Starry Sky Forest, a wondrous connection naturally formed between it and the Deer.

Its own pure and auspicious aura quietly spread, instantly connecting and merging with the fortune of the Starry Sky Forest.

The Nine-Colored Deer remained calm and unperturbed by this, even taking it for granted.

Throughout its long history, wherever it went, all things became peaceful, ferocious beasts calmed their rage, withered plants were revitalized, and dying creatures received a touch of protection.

Being actively connected to the fortune of a forest is simply its normal state of being.

For the nine-colored deer, this was just a trivial matter.

Although the forest is quite large, it is still just a forest to the Nine-Colored Deer.

After arriving at this forest of towering trees, it began its exploration of the forest.

The nine-colored deer sensed the weight of the soil in this forest, as well as the fragrance of grass and trees in the air and the pulse of countless creatures, whether powerful or weak.

This primal and vibrant atmosphere made it feel very comfortable.

However, the Nine-Colored Deer's exploration, which had only just begun, was soon forced to end.
