Chapter 7: Familiar Faces Appear One After Another
After bidding farewell to Old Jack, Lu Chen carried his luggage and walked toward the Academic Affairs Office.
At that moment, a tall, thin middle-aged man with a buzz cut and a poker Face walked toward Lu Chen.
This person was none other than Yu Xiaogang.
Known as the "Grandmaster," he had once proposed the Ten Great Core Competitive Theories of the Spirit Master’s world.
He knew nothing about the World of truly powerful experts; he merely summarized the ancient texts written by Seniors and claimed them as his own theories.
He had been nearby just now and witnessed the entire farce at the entrance of Nuoding Academy. He had developed a strong interest in the tall and strong Lu Chen and wanted to study him.
Walking up to Lu Chen, Yu Xiaogang forced a smile and was about to introduce himself:
"Child..."
Having guessed his identity and knowing what he wanted to say, Lu Chen immediately spoke in a loud voice:
"Hello, excuse me, I need to go to the Academic Affairs Office to register!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang’s expression froze. The words he hadn’t had time to say were completely stuck in his throat, and his already stiff Face looked even more gloomy.
Yu Xiaogang was someone who cared a lot about Face; otherwise, he wouldn’t have given up being the second young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to travel all over the continent.
His strong yet fragile self-esteem wouldn’t allow him to continue acting humble after being rejected.
Then, with a dark Face, Yu Xiaogang stepped aside to clear the path.
After Yu Xiaogang made way, Lu Chen continued walking forward with a normal expression.
After walking a few dozen steps, he glanced back and saw Yu Xiaogang and Tang San whispering something.
This master and disciple from the original plot had, as expected, become entangled again.
Lu Chen quickly looked away and strode forward nonchalantly.
It was nothing more than adding Yu Xiaogang to the list of people to kill when he eventually sought revenge by killing Tang San.
It just so happened that Yu Xiaogang’s fallacious theories could lead Tang San completely astray.
For instance, a plant Spirit absorbing an animal spirit ring was quite ridiculous.
It wasn’t a question of whether it could be absorbed.
But what was the point!
A plant Spirit should properly absorb plant spirit rings, which could also grant Spirit Beast skills and even strengthen the Spirit Origin.
If Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had honestly absorbed plant spirit rings, it might have undergone a second Awakening and evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul long ago.
For the transmigrator Lu Chen, these were familiar Faces appearing one after another, but he didn’t want to have too much contact with Tang San and Yu Xiaogang at all. Once he enriched his knowledge of culture and Spirit Beasts, he would leave this place immediately.
At that time, the sky would be high for the birds to fly, and the sea would be wide for the fish to leap!
Before long, Lu Chen arrived at the Academic Affairs Office.
He took out his Spirit Certificate and work-study student certificate, handed them to the Director of the Dean’s Office responsible for student recruitment, and introduced himself:
"Hello, Teacher, I am a student registering this year. My name is Lu Chen."
The Director of the Dean’s Office and the other teachers were very surprised by Lu Chen, this six-year-old big guy.
After carefully checking his Spirit Certificate and work-study student certificate, they found no issues.
Although they were surprised by him, they registered him as required.
The Director of the Dean’s Office said:
"Lu Chen, I’ve registered you. Your dormitory is Room 7. You can go settle in now. Tomorrow morning is the opening ceremony and the first class. Remember not to be late."
Lu Chen smiled and expressed his thanks:
"Thank you, Teacher. I’ll head over now."
After saying that, Lu Chen turned and left. When he reached the door, he heard the discussion of the Director of the Dean’s Office and the other teachers.
"What a strong child. Why isn’t it a Beast Spirit, but rather the trash Spirit Blue Silver Grass!"
"What a pity, such a pity!"
Hearing these discussions, Lu Chen just smiled and moved on. His two Spirits were indeed the most ordinary Spirits, but he believed that one day, his two Spirits would be able to evolve into Divine Rank Spirits.
Then Lu Chen strode away to find his dormitory, Room 7.
Nuoding Academy covered a vast area. It took Lu Chen quite some time to find the crudely decorated Room 7 in a corner of Nuoding Academy.
Walking into Room 7, Lu Chen found the dormitory conditions were even worse than he had imagined. In the entire dormitory, there were no separate cubicles, and crude wooden beds were scattered haphazardly.
Lu Chen took a deep breath, gaining a profound understanding of the harsh living conditions of Work-Study Students once again. He told himself in his heart to endure it, as it would eventually pass.
Meanwhile, several boys in the dormitory who were originally scuffling together stopped their hands in unison after noticing the newcomer.
They all stood in a row and surrounded him under the lead of a little fatty.
Looking at the tall and strong Lu Chen, a hint of hesitation and fear appeared on the little fatty’s Face, but after looking at the group of underlings around him, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward:
"I haven’t seen you before. Are you new this year?"
Seeing these future roommates, Lu Chen answered as if he didn’t know the situation, even though he did:
"My name is Lu Chen, I’m new. Is there something you need?"
Hearing this, the little fatty plucked up his courage and said:
"My name is Wang Sheng, Spirit War Tiger, and I am the boss of Room 7!"
"We have a rule in Room 7: newcomers must fight the boss. Whoever wins is the new boss!"
"Don’t misunderstand; this isn’t to bully anyone. It’s to choose a boss strong enough to protect us."
"Our status as Work-Study Students is very low, and we are often bullied in the academy. If we don’t want to be bullied, we have to stick together. The boss is respected by everyone, but also has to stand at the front for everyone."
Lu Chen smiled, smiling very happily!
This was a perfect excuse to openly deal with Tang San; he must seize it.
So Lu Chen agreed:
"I understand. Go ahead and attack; I will go easy on you."
Wang Sheng looked at himself and then at Lu Chen. The huge difference in their sizes made him completely lack the confidence to win.
Hearing that Lu Chen would go easy on him, Wang Sheng even felt a sense of relief.
He let out a loud shout to embolden himself, then clenched his fists and rushed toward Lu Chen.
Lu Chen had the strength to pull an ox. He looked at the attacking Wang Sheng with a smile, and his hands, like iron pincers, quickly reached out.
One hand gripped Wang Sheng’s wrist, and the other grabbed Wang Sheng’s collar.
With a little force, Lu Chen lifted Wang Sheng into the air, kindly giving him a "lifting" treatment.
With his feet off the ground, Wang Sheng immediately panicked and shouted:
"I surrender! From now on, you are the new boss!"
Hearing Wang Sheng surrender, Lu Chen gently set him down.
Once his feet were back on the ground, Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and approached Lu Chen with a fawning expression:
"Boss Lu Chen, your strength is so great. You must have a powerful Beast Spirit!"
Lu Chen smiled and said:
"No, I have the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. My strength is great because I was born with divine force."
While talking to his newly acquired underling, Lu Chen placed his luggage on the bed, waiting for Tang San with full anticipation.
