Seeing Lu Feng’s distinguished bearing, the shop owner quickly brought out a new quilt with full cotton wadding and soft fabric:
“You have good taste, student.
This blanket only costs six silver soul coins, and it’s guaranteed to keep you warm.”
Lu Feng readily paid and took the blanket.
Xiao Wu asked curiously, “Boss Lu, you’re really rich.”
Lu Feng tucked the blanket under his arm and said with a smile:
“Silly girl, let’s go back to Dormitory 7.”
…
For the next two weeks or so, life at Notting Academy was peaceful yet filled with a sense of novelty for Lu Feng.
During the day, he and Xiao Wu sat together in a spacious classroom, listening to the teachers teach the basic theories of Martial Souls and the knowledge of identifying Soul Beasts.
Although Lu Feng has memories of two lifetimes, he does lack knowledge of the systematic Soul Master education in Douluo Continent.
He listened very attentively, especially to the parts about soul ring combinations and the rules of soul skill derivation, and he was often able to draw inferences from these examples.
During the practical training class, Lu Feng deliberately suppressed his strength and sparred with his classmates at the level of an ordinary Soul Master.
This allowed him to familiarize himself with the combat styles of various Martial Souls.
Although the process was easy, he also gained a lot of observational insights.
Xiao Wu was much more lively.
She often spaced out during theory classes, fiddling with her scorpion braids or secretly passing notes to Lu Feng.
She was enthusiastic about practical classes, and with her agility and flexibility, she was rarely matched among her peers.
She was only easily subdued when facing Lu Feng, who suppressed her strength, but she was not discouraged.
Instead, she pestered Lu Feng to ask about his techniques.
“Boss Lu, how did you dodge that attack?
Teach me!”
After class, Xiao Wu often tugged at Lu Feng’s sleeve and begged him.
Lu Feng would sometimes offer a few simple pointers, but more often he would find an excuse to go alone to the secluded birch forest behind the academy.
There, he would devote himself to cultivating the “Primordial Chaos Technique,” guiding spiritual power to flow and circulate in his expanded meridians, nourishing his physical body and refining his soul.
Lu Feng often sat cross-legged on the thick layer of fallen leaves, guiding the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to merge with the soul power within his body.
The cycle repeats itself, solidifying the foundation of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and subtly moving towards the Foundation Establishment stage.
As his cultivation progressed, his breath became longer and more sustained, and a barely perceptible vortex of spiritual energy formed around his body.
“Lu Feng!
You’re hiding here daydreaming again!”
The crisp shouts often break the silence of the forest.
Xiao Wu always managed to find him precisely, and then, without saying a word, she would grab his arm.
“Stop practicing!
Come play with me in the street!
A new old man selling sugar figurines has come to the West Market, and he’s really good at it!”
“And there’s the acrobatic troupe from East Street; I heard they’ve got a giant monkey that can breathe fire!”
Lu Feng was often exasperated by her impulsive and energetic nature, but most of the time he would give in to her.
On the bustling streets of Notting City, this is a common sight:
A beautifully sculpted girl excitedly wandered between the various stalls, full of curiosity about everything.
Behind her followed a boy with a slightly helpless expression but a steady gait, who had to pay for her money and clean up the little troubles she caused from time to time.
Xiao Wu is like a rabbit that has truly escaped the forest, full of curiosity about everything in human society.
Lu Feng’s presence made her feel much more at ease during her exploration.
Meanwhile, after Tang San’s injuries had healed slightly, he and Yu Xiaogang quietly left the academy.
It is said that Yu Xiaogang used some connections to take Tang San to the Soul Hunting Forest to find the first soul ring suitable for the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
Without Tang San, Dormitory 7 seemed much quieter.
…
That evening, Lu Feng finished cultivating the “Primordial Chaos Technique” in the woods behind the mountain, and his spiritual energy slowly receded.
He was on his way back to Dormitory 7 when he heard a noisy argument near the academy’s training ground.
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Xiao Wu leading seven or eight work-study students, including Wang Sheng, confronting Xiao Chenyu and his group of noble students.
The atmosphere was tense.
Xiao Wu, hands on her hips, her scorpion braid twitching with anger, pointed at Xiao Chenyu’s nose and snapped:
“Xiao Chenyu!
Why do you always bully us work-study students?”
“From today onwards, this territory belongs to me, big Sister Wu!
You either obediently acknowledge me as your boss, or accept my challenge!”
Xiao Chenyu, embarrassed by being challenged in public by a young girl, sneered:
“You little brat, you’ve got quite the nerve!”
“Are you work-study students so poor you’ve lost your minds?
Why would you choose such a young, brown-haired girl as your leader?”
His henchmen behind him also burst into laughter, their words dripping with sarcasm.
Wang Sheng’s face flushed red, and he mustered his courage to retort:
“Brother Xiao, don’t look down on me!
Sister Wu is formidable!”
“sharp?”
Xiao Chenyu glanced at Xiao Wu with disdain.
“Your Martial Soul is a rabbit, right?
At most, it can hop around a bit more happily.”
“How about this?
You’re quite cute, so if you lose, you can be my pet rabbit.
As for the challenge…”
“Let’s play by the rules: each side sends ten people, taking turns until one side is completely down!
Are you in?”
His wishful thinking was:
Apart from Xiao Wu and Lu Feng, who was absent, there were hardly any other work-study students who could fight.
After a relentless barrage of challenges, even this little girl would be exhausted!
Xiao Wu agreed without hesitation.
“Okay!
It’s a deal!
Anyone who goes back on their word is a little dog!”
Xiao Chenyu was secretly delighted:
‘Hmph, you don’t know your place!
Wait until you’re exhausted, then I’ll see how I deal with you!’
Lu Feng leaned against an old locust tree in the distance, his arms crossed over his chest, his gaze calmly watching their standoff.
The children argued heatedly over a little bit of empty fame, a scene that seemed exceptionally naive compared to the life-and-death struggles he had experienced in his previous life.
The first match has already begun.
On the work-study student side, Wang Sheng took a deep breath and strode out.
Although he was a little nervous, as the former leader of Dormitory 7, he could not back down at this moment.
Wang Sheng let out a low shout, his soul power surged, his muscles swelled slightly, and phantom claws extended from his fingertips.
—It is his Martial Soul, the Battle Tiger!
His opponent was a tall, thin student under Boss Xiao, named Liu Long.
Liu Long held a fire and wind staff, the staff faintly glowing with red light.
A contemptuous smile played on his lips as he pointed the tip of his stick at Wang Sheng:
“Work-study students are just work-study students; their Martial Souls are nothing but low-class beasts.”
“Enough talk!
Take this!”
Wang Sheng roared and launched the first attack.
He exerted force with both legs, lunged forward, and his tiger claws brought a strong wind, aiming straight for Liu Long’s face!
The Battle Tiger Martial Soul endowed him with considerable strength and explosive power.
Liu Long did not take the hit head-on, but instead retreated nimbly.
The long staff in his hand moved like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, aiming for Wang Sheng’s wrist.
The staff technique was cunning and carried the force of wind and fire.
His Wind and Fire Staff Martial Soul is clearly superior in terms of agility.
The two immediately engaged in combat.
Wang Sheng’s strength was immense, his movements powerful and swift, each claw attempting to tear his opponent apart.
Liu Long, taking advantage of the length of his staff, moved nimbly and skillfully, his staff flashing and flying.
Sometimes sweeping across the lower body, sometimes thrusting straight at vital points, the wind fanning the flames, making the staff technique even more fierce.
“Go Wang Sheng!”
Xiao Wu and the other work-study students cheered them on nervously.
“Liu Long, finish him off quickly!”
Xiao Chenyu’s side kept urging them on.
