“Feng’er,” Qian Daoliu said kindly as he looked at the little boy in front of him.
“After you return home, I will personally take you to the Spirit Academy tomorrow morning. Once you enter the academy, students are usually not allowed to leave unless it is a holiday. Of course, if you don’t want to stay there for a long time, you can tell Grandpa.”
The Spirit Academy had its own strict rules and management system.
This made it easier for the headmaster and teachers to manage students.
Normally, students could only leave during holidays. There were two holidays every year, each lasting two months. The rest of the time, students had to stay in the academy.
Special cases included students who had reached the level to absorb a soul ring, or senior students.
When a student needed to absorb a soul ring, a teacher or family elder would take them to hunt soul beasts, usually in the Star Dou Forest or Spirit Hall’s own beast grounds.
Senior students were more free. Because of their age and training needs, they could leave the academy anytime as long as they reported it.
“I understand, Grandpa,” Lin Feng said with a smile.
“Father! Mother! I’m back!”
As soon as Lin Feng entered the mansion, he shouted happily.
“It’s Feng’er! Feng’er is back!”
Lin Yetian rushed out at incredible speed. In a blink, he appeared in front of Lin Feng and hugged him tightly.
“My son! Why do you have time to come back?” Lin Yetian said excitedly while rubbing his bearded face against Lin Feng.
“Aren’t you supposed to focus on training with the High Priest?”
Lin Feng pushed his father’s rough beard away with both hands, looking disgusted.
“Father, Grandpa Angel isn’t that strict. I’m going to the Spirit Academy tomorrow, so I came back to see you first. After I enter the academy, I won’t be able to come home often.”
“My son is thoughtful!” Lin Yetian laughed proudly.
“Do you know? Your father is now an Honorary Elder of the Spirit Hall! Even Platinum Bishops treat me with respect. Once I become a Title Douluo, I will become a real elder, not just an honorary one!”
“Oh? Father, are you confident about breaking through to Title Douluo?” Lin Feng asked calmly.
“Of course! It will just take time. Back then, your father was a famous genius too. Otherwise, how could your mother have fallen for me?” Lin Yetian said proudly.
“Oh right,” Lin Yetian continued.
“Yesterday, the High Priest gave me a mission—to purchase a large amount of whale glue. Isn’t that thing used by nobles for… certain purposes? I don’t understand why the Spirit Hall needs it.”
“Father, do you want to know why?” Lin Feng smiled.
Lin Yetian paused and said seriously,
“If this matter is very important to the Spirit Hall, then don’t say it. I just need to complete my mission.”
But Lin Feng didn’t care and said directly:
“Whale glue can strengthen a soul master’s body if taken in small amounts. If children start eating it early, they can absorb a thousand-year soul ring as their first soul ring.”
Lin Yetian froze.
“Th-this… how is that possible?!”
He stood there in shock, completely stunned.
At that moment, Ying Chuchu walked over and pulled Lin Feng into her arms.
“What are you talking about?” she asked.
“Feng’er, did you miss your mother while you were away? I missed you very much.”
“I missed you! I missed you more than Father,” Lin Feng said sweetly.
Lin Yetian kept muttering in disbelief,
“First soul ring… thousand years… impossible…”
Ying Chuchu frowned.
“What are you talking about?”
“I know! I’ll tell Mother!” Lin Feng said eagerly.
After hearing everything, Ying Chuchu stared at Lin Feng in shock.
“Feng’er… is this really true?”
She then turned to Lin Yetian seriously.
“The High Priest must trust you greatly to give you such an important task. You must not mess it up. This is the foundation of the Spirit Hall.”
Whale glue was already valuable—but its true effect was priceless.
“Hehe~ Mother,” Lin Feng said proudly.
“I was the one who told Grandpa Angel about whale glue. Am I amazing?”
Ying Chuchu was stunned.
“Feng’er told the High Priest? How did you know this? Where did you learn it?”
She looked at her son in disbelief.
