Chapter 8 Enrollment and Leveraging Resources
"Xiao Luo, we should go."
Old Jack's voice came from outside. Luo Hao was already prepared and jumped up to grab the things from the table.
"Good morning, Grandpa Jack!"
Seeing Tang San carrying a small backpack outside, Luo Hao was not surprised at all, after all, Luo Hao's home was on the way to Notting City.
It wasn't like Tang San's family, living in seclusion and in such a remote place.
Seeing Luo Hao going into battle lightly equipped, Old Jack didn't say anything. After all, Luo Hao had been recruited by the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall would take care of him there.
Old Jack had a good impression of Master Su Yuntao, the deacon of the Spirit Hall, after all, he had gone to great lengths year after year to awaken spirits in the villages around Notting City.
"Let's go."
Luo Hao, who was leading the way, immediately started running excitedly.
Since his rebirth, the farthest Luo Hao has ever been is the back mountain.
Luo Hao dared not wander off to any remote or secluded places, for fear of being carried away by some wild beast.
Now that his strength has greatly increased, he naturally has no scruples. Fortunately, Luo Hao still knows to take care of Old Jack and Xiao San behind him, so he hasn't run too far.
"Little San, hold Grandpa Jack steady, I'm going to check ahead."
Looking at Luo Hao, Old Jack, and Xiao San, who were nowhere to be seen ahead, they couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.
"Azure Roc, possess me!"
With a soft shout from Luo Hao, a magnificent golden phantom appeared, then transformed into golden light that enveloped Luo Hao's entire body.
A pair of sharp, golden wings spread out, completely covering and firmly protecting Luo Hao.
With a flap of his wings, Luo Hao shot straight into the sky like an arrow released from a bow.
Just as some martial souls are born with poison, and some martial souls have lightning attacks, Luo Hao's martial soul, the Azure Sky Roc, is the yang form of the Kunpeng, and he is born with the ability to fly.
With a flap of its wings, it felt as if the surroundings were a videotape rewinding at an accelerated speed. Its golden, diamond-shaped pupils were incredibly sharp, clearing away any vision it could capture.
The bonus from the Martial Soul alone surpasses Tang San's Purple Demon Eye, which he has cultivated for years.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the gates of Notting City from the entrance of Holy Soul Village.
Looking at the crowds coming and going below the clouds, Luo Hao thought for a moment and decided not to fall behind, but to head straight to the Spirit Hall to find Su Yuntao.
Looking at the Spirit Hall standing in the center of Notting City, Luo Hao slowly descended.
As a landmark building in each city, the Spirit Hall may not be the largest, but it is certainly the most luxurious.
Looking at the large character "魂" (soul) printed on the building, Luo Hao nodded.
"Looks like we didn't make a mistake."
"Hey, little kid, what are you doing here? Don't block the gate."
The guards at the entrance of the Spirit Hall clearly knew that Luo Hao was an important figure, someone they couldn't afford to offend, so they spoke to him with extreme politeness.
"Is Master Su Yuntao here? I'm looking for Master Su Yuntao."
"Yes, little friend, please come with me."
One of the guards gestured to the other with his eyes, then got up and walked ahead.
"Master Su Yuntao, are you there? Someone is looking for you."
The doorman knocked twice and then stepped back to wait for a reply. "Come in."
The gatekeeper bowed to Luo Hao before turning and leaving.
"Master Su Yuntao is me."
Seeing Luo Haosu Yuntao arrive, he was pleasantly surprised. "It's you, little friend! Come here, I've been waiting for you."
"Master Su Yuntao, shall we go directly to register?"
"Yes, that's right, but before you go, come with me to see someone."
Su Yuntao pulled Luo Hao out directly. The staff members of the Spirit Hall, who were coming and going, gathered together and whispered among themselves after seeing this scene.
"Master Matthew, come and see this genius with innate level five soul power that I told you about."
Inside the house, an elderly man with glasses, a full head of white hair, and a thick, snow-white beard looked over curiously.
"This must be young friend Luo Hao, right? Come over here, the paperwork and documents are all ready, just come and sign them."
Luo Hao stepped forward and glanced at a contract-like form, which stated that he voluntarily joined the Spirit Hall.
Luo Hao glanced at it briefly and signed it directly. After all, this contract was just to keep a record to prove that he was a member of the Spirit Hall, and in reality, it had almost no binding effect.
"Alright, here's your Spirit Hall exclusive uniform, and some luggage that Spirit Hall has prepared for you."
Remember to study hard in the academy. Right now, since you've just joined the Spirit Hall, you'll receive a subsidy of one gold soul coin per month. Once you become a Soul Master, you can come back and register, and it will become two gold soul coins per month.
"Now, let Su Yuntao take you inside."
After speaking at length, Master Matthew picked up a cup of hot tea from the table, took a sip, and waved to Su Yuntao and Luo Hao that they could leave.
"Alright, Master Matthew, I'll take young friend Luo Hao to register first."
Goodbye, Master Matthew!
Su Yuntao and Luo Hao said goodbye and walked towards the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy, each carrying a large bag.
Although this amount of food was nothing to Su Yuntao, Luo Hao still insisted on taking a portion himself.
Greetings, Master Su Yuntao!
The two guards of Nottingham City were startled when they saw Su Yuntao from afar, and hurriedly greeted him after Su Yuntao arrived with Luo Hao.
"Um."
Su Yuntao responded indifferently, showing that he was quite aloof in front of others.
Looking at Su Yuntao's aloof expression, Luo Hao silently compared notes to his own.
"Director Su, could you please help this child with his enrollment procedures? His status will be that of a work-study student, but please don't assign him any work."
Upon arriving at the teaching affairs office, Su Yuntao spoke to a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his thirties and wore glasses.
Director Su glanced at Luo Hao in surprise. He found Su Yuntao's request strange, but he didn't say anything more.
"Level 5 innate soul power, Azure Sky Roc martial soul?"
"That's right!" Su Yuntao said arrogantly, "They're from our Spirit Hall."
Seeing this, Director Su understood that Su Yuntao meant to stop making any underhanded moves and not to introduce anyone as some kind of noble or aristocratic figure.
Director Su shrugged at this. "Alright, your dormitory is in Dormitory 7. Just go straight out and turn left."
"Alright, let's go."
Su Yuntao walked ahead carrying the things, while Luo Hao watched the unspoken exchange between the two with curiosity.
"Young friend Luo Hao, just focus on your studies at school. Don't pay attention to the promises of those nobles. Just tell me what you need, and the Spirit Hall will provide it. These minor nobles of Notting City won't amount to anything."
As he spoke, Su Yuntao revealed a disdainful expression.
Have the nobles within the Heaven Dou Empire become so corrupt?
Thinking back to the original story, the son of the city lord, the little boss in this academy was actually complacent because he had a white soul ring that was almost a hundred years old.
They even regarded Tang San and Xiao Wu, who possessed yellow hundred-year soul rings, as disciples of some powerful and unapproachable family, making it a beginner's village among beginner's villages.
Luo Hao lost interest in this place; it was just a beginner's village, after all.
Once I've finished developing my character in the starting village, it will be time for me to take control of the world!
A surge of heroic spirit rose within Luo Hao!
