Chapter 19: Enrolling at Nottingham, the Master Arrives!
The carriage was back on the road.
Mo Yi sat in the driver's seat, holding the reins, and drove the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Xiao Wu continued reading her comics, but she seemed somewhat distracted.
He would occasionally glance up at Mo Yi, then chuckle to himself.
Two more days passed.
The outline of Nottingham came into view at the edge of the horizon.
By the time we arrived in the city, it was already getting dark.
After the guards at the city gate checked their Martial Soul Certificates, they allowed the two to enter the city.
I definitely can't go to the academy today.
Mo Yi then took Xiao Wu for a walk around.
I prepared some daily necessities in advance.
Early the next morning.
The two arrived at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.
The plaque above the college gate had some paint peeling off, and the walls were also somewhat mottled.
Compared to the prosperity of Soto, this place is indeed rather shabby.
The gatekeeper checked the two men's martial spirit credentials and then respectfully invited them inside.
Unlike in the original story, nothing happened that involved looking down on people...
Mo and Yi then went to the Academic Affairs Office to register for enrollment.
The academic affairs director in charge of registration was a thin old man wearing reading glasses.
Upon seeing the voucher book, his reading glasses nearly fell off his nose.
"Innate full soul power?"
"Yes."
"You two are from Holy Soul Village and Radish Village?"
"right."
"I remember the conditions for these two students are a bit difficult. Do you want to be self-funded students or work-study students?"
Although Mo and Yi were dressed in very smart and attractive clothes, the dean of academic affairs still asked a few questions.
"Self-funded student".
Mo Yi took out a stack of gold coins from his storage bracelet and piled them on the table.
"This is for both of our tuition and fees. Also, I'd like to share a dorm room with her."
The academic affairs director pushed up his reading glasses and looked the two kids up and down.
Innate full soul power.
Storage-type soul guide.
They are also very generous with their money.
This doesn't look like someone from the countryside at all.
Could it be some nobleman's son who secretly ran away from home?
"No problem, no problem, I'll arrange it right away."
The dean of academic affairs felt he had guessed the truth and immediately became very attentive, personally leading the two to the dormitory.
"Thank you for your help, teacher."
Mo Yi looked around the dormitory for self-funded students. The room was spacious and bright, with its own washroom and a cultivation room.
The conditions are much better than those in the original novel's Seventh Dormitory.
"No trouble at all. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. I will definitely help if I can."
"Thank you, teacher."
"You're welcome. My surname is Wang. You can just call me Teacher Wang from now on."
After settling in, the academic affairs director hurried to the principal's office.
"Principal, two self-funded students just arrived, both with innate full soul power!"
The principal immediately stood up and asked, "Innate full soul power? What kind of martial soul is that?"
"One is a Soft Bone Rabbit, and the other, the Martial Soul Certificate says it's a chest strap."
The principal frowned slightly and asked, "A chest strap? What kind of martial spirit is that?"
"I don't know either. But I have a feeling these two little guys have something going on..."
The head of the teaching department told the principal about his guess.
Upon hearing this, the principal also fell into deep thought, stroking his chin as he said, "That is indeed possible."
The head of student affairs then asked, "Principal, what should we do next? Should we give them special consideration?"
The principal pondered for a moment, then waved his hand: "Take it as it is, and wait and see. If they really have connections, someone will come knocking on our door sooner or later."
"Yes, Principal."
The head of the teaching department nodded and left the office.
But as soon as he got back into the house, his face darkened.
A man was seen brazenly looking through the registered student files in his office.
This person is none other than Yu Xiaogang!
"How did you get in?"
Director Wang's tone was full of annoyance.
Of all the students in the academy, the one he looked down on the most was Yu Xiaogang.
He freeloads every day, has no skills, but acts like he owns the place.
They still have the nerve to act like they're all underappreciated every day.
Yu Xiaogang didn't even look up, seemingly oblivious to the impatience in his voice, and said, "Two new students with innate full soul power have arrived?"
"What's it to you?"
Director Wang stepped forward: "I'm warning you, these two kids are not simple characters. Don't get your hands on them, or you'll cause me trouble!"
Yu Xiaogang finally managed to lift his eyelids and glance at him, but he didn't argue or explain. Instead, he ignored him and turned away.
Watching Yu Xiaogang's departing figure, Director Wang spat, "What damn bad luck!"
……
dorm room.
Mo Yigang had just finished making the new bedding.
A fragrant breeze wafted over, and Xiao Wu, clutching her blankets and pillows, threw them all onto Mo Yi's bed.
What are you doing?
"Let's sleep together!"
Xiao Wu spoke with righteous indignation.
"This is a school, not an inn."
"I don't care! I can't sleep alone!"
Xiao Wu plopped down on Mo Yi's bed, hugging her pillow with both hands, clearly indicating that if you dare to kick me out, I'll cry right there in front of you.
Mo Yi found her shameless behavior somewhat amusing, and resignedly pushed the two single beds together to make one large bed.
"Alright, alright, whatever you say."
Xiao Wu's mood immediately brightened, and she beamed with joy. She jumped twice on the newly made bed, like a rabbit that had found a new home.
"Hehe, Mo Yi, you're the best!"
"Okay, stop jumping, or the trampoline will collapse."
dong dong dong-
Just then.
The door suddenly rang.
Mo Yi opened the door.
There was a man standing at the door.
He was of medium build and rather thin, with short black hair parted in a 3/7 ratio. His facial features were average, but his lips were particularly thick, making him look somewhat awkward.
Hey, isn't this Master? One of the must-play (card) characters in Douluo Continent.
Mo Yi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who are you? Do you need something?"
Yu Xiaogang's gaze skipped over Xiao Wu and landed on Mo Yi.
Soft-boned rabbit?
At a glance, Ding Zhen identified it as a parasite.
In the eyes of this theoretical master who comes from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family.
The quality of the Soft Bone Rabbit is average; even if it has innate full soul power, its ceiling is welded shut.
But Mo Yi's chest belt martial soul, a life-type martial soul, was able to awaken innate full soul power.
This is very interesting.
One aspect is to supplement his martial spirit database.
On the other hand, it is possible to try out his theories.
"I once investigated 327 people whose martial souls were unconventional. Among them, only 20 possessed soul power, a probability of less than 10%. And even among those 20 people who possessed soul power, none of them had a soul power level exceeding five. Yet you are a level ten person with innate full soul power. According to one of the ten core competitive advantages of martial souls that I have studied, the size of innate soul power is directly proportional to the quality of the martial soul. Your martial soul quality must be very strong."
The master truly lived up to his reputation; his very words revealed him to be a seasoned science student, leaving Mo Yi's head buzzing.
Mo Yi said speechlessly, "After saying so much, so what exactly are you here for?"
"I'd like to take a look at your martial spirit and perhaps offer some pointers so you don't waste your talent."
Yu Xiaogang has the demeanor of a master.
But Mo Yi, who knew Yu Xiaogang's background, was about to lose his composure.
You think you're qualified to give me advice?
Based on the prestige of you reaching 50 years old at level 29?
But Mo Yi didn't refuse outright. He was just idling around anyway, so he might as well play with the monkey.
"Since the teacher wants to see it, then let's see it."
Mo Yi readily agreed, flipping his hand over.
The ZZZ Driver instantly appeared on my chest.
Yu Xiaogang was about to look at the chest band when his attention was drawn to the hundred-year-old soul ring.
His brows furrowed instantly.
In his mind, the first three spirit rings were extremely valuable foundations. If one wanted to complete his theory, it would be best to start from the first spirit ring.
Although Mo Yi has not yet agreed to become Yu Xiaogang's apprentice, Yu Xiaogang already considers Mo Yi as his guinea pig.
Therefore, in his eyes, Mo Yi's act of absorbing without authorization was nothing more than fooling around.
"You've already acquired a spirit ring?"
"yes."
"What kind of spirit ring did you hunt down?"
"I don't know what kind of spirit beast it is. It's a large butterfly with a wingspan of about half a meter. Its wings are translucent white jade-colored and covered with fine down. When it flies by, it scatters white light powder..."
This kind of spirit beast was something Mo Yi had discussed with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm beforehand, and it was used to disguise his first spirit ring.
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment and said, "That's a Spirit Winged Jade Butterfly, a social soul beast that is docile and sensitive. When attacked, it will release a large amount of light powder and then run away."
As he spoke, his gaze toward Mo Yi shifted from admiration to regret, and even carried a hint of reproach.
"What a pity, what a real pity."
"Only a perfect blank sheet of paper can be used to draw the greatest blueprint."
"You drew that first stroke crookedly, ruining a masterpiece!"
