Half an hour later.
Hu Liena and Xi Weisi returned to the Spirit Hall in the West District.
“Nana, you’re finally back!
How are you?
Are you alright?”
Upon seeing Hu Liena return, Xie Yue and Yan, who had been anxiously waiting, along with Li Qing, the director of the orphanage, and several teachers, immediately came to greet her, especially Xie Yue, whose face was full of worry.
“I’m fine.”
Upon seeing her brother, Yan, and the orphanage director and teachers, Hu Liena replied.
“Don’t worry.
This is Spirit City.
What could possibly happen here?
If anything does happen, it’ll be a good thing, a really great thing.
You should feel honored.”
A mysterious smile flashed across Xi Weisi’s old face.
“What good news?” Yan asked bluntly.
Xie Yue’s eyes were also full of curiosity.
Dean Li Qing and the teachers all looked equally puzzled and eager to know the answer.
“That means Hu Liena was chosen by Her Highness the Holy Maiden and taken as her personal disciple.”
Xi Weisi remained calm and composed, looking at the two seven-year-old boys in front of him.
He understood that they were the two super geniuses who had awakened their martial souls last year, and were also his students.
He felt a sense of satisfaction.
“What?
Her Highness the Holy Maiden has taken a liking to Nana and accepted her as her personal disciple?”
Upon hearing this, the group exclaimed in unison.
After a gasp, Xie Yue turned to his sister, “Nana, tell your brother, is this true?”
“Yes, it’s true.” Hu Liena nodded in reply.
“Very good.”
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Xie Yue jumped up with joy.
“Wow, Nana, I really want to be taken as a disciple by Her Highness the Holy Maiden too!” Yan said with envy.
The Holy Maiden is a very important and high-ranking figure.
It is said that Her Highness the Holy Maiden is the most beautiful woman in Spirit Hall and the goddess in the hearts of all the Spirit Hall’s Soul Masters.
It’s difficult for ordinary people to even see the Holy Maiden, let alone become her disciple.
“That’s incredible.”
The orphanage director and teachers were both surprised and delighted.
Hu Liena was already overjoyed to awaken the top-tier martial soul, the Fox Spirit, with innate full soul power, but she didn’t expect that even more surprises were yet to come.
She was actually directly accepted as a personal disciple by Her Highness the Holy Maiden.
The group of people were now beaming with pride.
After all, nurturing children and contributing to the Spirit Hall is their mission and honor.
“Alright.
Hu Liena, come with me to the sanctuary and wait a moment while I prepare your Soul Master certificate,” Xi Weisi said.
Then Xi Weisi led Hu Liena back into the main hall of the sanctuary.
Hu Liena didn’t have to wait long.
Soon, Xi Weisi came over, holding Hu Liena’s Soul Master certificate, which he had personally drafted.
He handed the Soul Master certificate to Hu Liena.
“Next, I’ll take you directly to the Spirit Hall Academy to register.”
Xi Weisi looked at Hu Liena and said.
As for the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, he had already instructed another Soul Douluo Archbishop to carry it out.
“Let’s go.
On the way, I’ll tell you some information about the Spirit Hall Academy,” Xi Weisi said.
Then he led Hu Liena outside the door.
Xie Yue and Yan knew that Hu Liena was going to the Spirit Hall Academy to register, so they followed her.
The orphanage director and several teachers stayed outside the Spirit Hall, as they were going to help the other children awaken their spirits.
On the way, Xi Weisi began to tell Hu Liena about the Spirit Hall Academy:
“The Spirit Hall Academy is the exclusive academy of the Spirit Hall for training spirit masters and reserving talent.
It is also located in our West District, not far away, just one block away from the Spirit Hall of the West District.”
“The Spirit Hall Academy is further divided into primary, intermediate, and advanced levels.
Its admissions process differs from other academies on the continent.
The Spirit Hall Academy typically admits students from the descendants of those directly under the Spirit Hall, as well as orphans like you from orphanages and geniuses from commoner backgrounds.
They are trained from the age of six until graduation.”
“The Spirit Hall Academy recruits students based on their innate spirit power level after awakening their spirit.
Those with innate spirit power level three or below are admitted to the junior academy, those with innate spirit power level four or above and level six or below are admitted to the intermediate academy, and only those with innate spirit power level seven or above are qualified to enter the senior academy.”
“The primary and intermediate academies may not be well-known, but they should not be underestimated.
This is because the number of students at this level is large.
The resident bishops and inspectors of the Spirit Hall in various small and medium-sized cities and towns across the continent are all from this level.
They are middle and low-level managers and are the cornerstone of the Spirit Hall.
You just need to know about these things.”
“The advanced academy recruits students with innate soul power of level seven or above.
These students are all outstanding soul masters, geniuses, or even geniuses among geniuses.
As long as they do not die prematurely, it is not a problem for them to grow to at least Soul Saint.
The archbishops of major cities on the continent are almost all from here.
Therefore, the advanced soul master academy of the Spirit Hall is known as the ‘cradle of geniuses’ in the soul master world and is renowned throughout the continent.”
“Those with innate soul power of level seven or above are among the most exceptional soul masters, one in ten thousand.
Every graduate of the Spirit Hall’s Advanced Soul Master Academy is a powerful figure capable of guarding a region.
Haha, I was also a member of the Advanced Academy back then, and my becoming a Platinum Bishop was thanks to the academy’s teachings.”
“With your talent, Hu Liena, you will be enrolled in the advanced academy and will be assigned to the same elite class as your brother.
You will not only receive the best resources, but also have one-on-one teachers to teach you Soul Master knowledge and combat skills.”
More than ten minutes later.
The group arrived at the Spirit Hall Academy.
After presenting the platinum bishop’s token, Xi Weisi led the three across the plaza in front of the academy and headed straight for the dean’s office.
Upon receiving the message, the academy dean, Gustav, personally went out to greet him.
Upon learning that Hu Liena’s talent was even higher than Xie Yue and Yan’s, he was instantly astonished.
When he learned that she was the personal disciple of the Holy Maiden, his old face beamed with a smile even brighter than Xi Weisi’s, like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Without saying a word, he quickly settled Hu Liena’s enrollment matters and, according to Hu Liena’s wishes, arranged for her to be in the same class as Xie Yue and Yan.
Thus, Hu Liena successfully enrolled in the Spirit Hall’s Advanced Soul Master Academy.
…
Seven days later.
Next to the orphanage, by Blue Lake.
Since Hu Liena enrolled in the Spirit Hall Academy seven days ago, she has moved out of the orphanage.
Without her by his side, Ye Qifeng did feel a little uncomfortable at first.
He thought that after Hu Liena went to awaken her martial soul, it would be a long time before he could see her again.
Unexpectedly, she ran back that very day, excitedly recounting all the things that happened to her when she awakened her martial spirit and was taken in as a disciple by the Holy Maiden Bibi Dong.
However, she eventually left the next day.
Ye Qifeng didn’t want to stay with the other children in the orphanage; the children were always noisy and disruptive.
So he found a flat, shady rock in a quiet, shady spot by Blue Lake next to the orphanage, and spent his free time there sleeping or reading.
The book he was holding was brought to him by Hu Liena yesterday.
It was a book about plant-based martial spirits, borrowed from the Spirit Hall Academy library.
The first page of the book introduces the most common plant-based martial spirit on the entire continent, which is also the world-renowned useless martial spirit on the continent—Blue Silver Grass.
Looking at the picture of Blue Silver Grass in the book, Ye Qifeng suddenly remembered something.
Seven days ago, Hu Liena said that the Pope of the Spirit Hall did not seem to be in Spirit City.
Judging from the time, Qian Xunji must have led a team to hunt down Ah Yin.
“So…
some filthy thing up there is going to send that bastard into this world.”
Ye Qifeng looked up at the gray sky, his eyes slightly narrowed.
