“Jiang Mo, what are you muttering about over there?” Guang Ling said with a cheerful smile.
“I hope you haven’t really gone stupid.”
Although he didn’t hear clearly, he was sure that—with Jiang Mo’s personality—he was definitely talking badly about him.
“Guang Ling! Guang Ling! You bastard, you’re really making me angry!” Jiang Mo shouted.
“Take my Coiling Dragon Staff! If you’ve got guts, don’t run!”
“Hehe~ Don’t run?” Guang Ling laughed.
“Jiang Mo, are you trying to kill me with laughter?”
“Do you think I’m stupid—or that you are?”
“Don’t use that tiny brain of yours to give me orders. If you can, come chase me!”
As he spoke, Guang Ling quickly pulled away, smiling smugly.
“I’m furious! Absolutely furious!” Jiang Mo roared.
“Guang Ling, you old child, stop right there!”
“Today, I’ll see whether your Light Feather Bow is tougher, or my Coiling Dragon Staff is!”
Completely enraged, Jiang Mo summoned his martial soul and chased after him.
If he couldn’t win with words, then he’d settle it with strength!
“Ah…” Qian Daoliu watched the two chasing each other, while Qing Luan and the others enjoyed the show.
He smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, and turned to leave.
After leaving the main hall, Qian Daoliu went straight to Lin Feng’s room.
“Feng’er, open the door. It’s Grandpa,” he said gently as he knocked.
“Grandpa?”
Lin Feng, who was just about to fall asleep, opened his sleepy eyes.
Why was Grandpa looking for him at this hour?
He got out of bed, yawning and rubbing his eyes, then opened the wooden door.
“Grandpa, what is it?” Lin Feng asked.
“I’m a bit sleepy.”
Qian Daoliu smiled.
“There is something I want to ask you.”
“At your age, it’s time to attend an academy. Do you want to enter the Spirit Academy?”
“Spirit Academy?” Lin Feng thought to himself.
“No need…”
Did he really need to study at an academy?
Not really.
Staying in the Hall of Offerings was much better. He had plenty of time to cultivate, and if he had problems, weren’t the Elders right there?
They were all top-level teachers.
Just as Lin Feng was about to refuse, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.
【Ding! God-Level Choice Activated! Please make a decision based on your true will.】
【God-Level Choice One: Enter Spirit Academy to study.
Reward: Favor from the Spirit Hall Saintess, and three top-tier genius soul masters who will follow you.
Each has at least Innate Soul Power Level 9.】
【God-Level Choice Two: Leave Spirit Hall and join another soul master academy.
Reward: Three pieces of High-Quality Blue Silver Grass.】
【God-Level Choice Three: Stay in the Hall of Offerings to cultivate quietly.
Reward: Immortal-grade spirit herb — Qiluo Tulip.】
“Huh?” Lin Feng was stunned.
Originally, he planned to refuse. Spirit Academy wouldn’t help his cultivation much—it was useful but not exciting.
But now that a God-Level Choice appeared, that was different.
“System,” Lin Feng said decisively,
“I choose option one!”
He didn’t even hesitate.
Based on the system’s usual behavior, this was clearly the correct choice. The other two were just fillers.
High-quality Blue Silver Grass?
It was still just grass.
Three pieces of it—what was that supposed to do?
If it were the Blue Silver Emperor, he might think twice. But ordinary Blue Silver Grass wasn’t worth considering.
As for the immortal herb Qiluo Tulip—it sounded good, but it wasn’t that useful right now.
Later on, he could use Spirit Hall’s power to get access to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes anyway.
With a god backing him, he could always blame everything on the God of Order.
So the reward didn’t matter much.
“Grandpa,” Lin Feng asked,
“Are there many soul masters in Spirit Academy? Kids my age?”
“Of course,” Qian Daoliu replied.
“Spirit Academy is the largest academy of Spirit Hall.”
“There are thousands of soul masters living there, and it accepts new students every year.”
“Right now, it’s the enrollment season. You’ll meet many soul masters your age.”
Spirit Academy mainly trained common soul masters, but its real purpose was to supply fresh blood to Spirit Hall.
Most graduates would eventually work for Spirit Hall.
Hearing that there would be many peers his age, Lin Feng’s eyes lit up.
“Grandpa, I want to go to Spirit Academy!”
“But…” Lin Feng paused, then continued,
“Before going, I want to go home once—to see my father and mother.”
“You miss your parents?” Qian Daoliu asked gently.
“Yes, Grandpa.”
Qian Daoliu raised his hand and patted Lin Feng’s head.
“You’re still a child after all,” he said softly.
“Go back tomorrow and see them.”
“I’m sure when they see your soul rings, they’ll be completely shocked.”
After sending Qian Daoliu away, Lin Feng sat on the edge of the bed.
The excitement faded, and his expression became calm.
Touching his chin, he muttered,
“Hey, stupid system… those three genius soul masters—aren’t they Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan?”
Those were the only ones he could think of—the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall.
Their talent was unquestionable. If not for being seriously injured by Tang San later, becoming Title Douluo would have been easy for them.
【Nope, Host~】
“Then who are they?” Lin Feng frowned.
If it wasn’t those three, who else in Spirit Hall had Innate Soul Power Level 9 or above?
Could it be three completely new characters created by the system?
【Host only needs to wait until entering Spirit Academy~
Mystery must be preserved~】
“Mystery?” Lin Feng sneered.
“Fine. I want to see exactly who those three are.”
No matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t figure it out.
【Hehe~ You won’t guess it~】
“Tsk,” Lin Feng sighed.
“If the system says I’ll know then, I’ll wait and see.”
With that, he lay back down on the bed—
And continued the task he hadn’t finished yet:
Sleeping. 😴
