Chapter 23 An Unexpected Encounter at the Station
At the Donghai City Soul Guidance Train Station, a dark blue Soul Guidance Train was parked on the platform, and Tang Wulin stepped off from the student discount carriage.
It was his first time in a big city, and he walked slowly, his clear eyes curiously taking in his surroundings.
He came alone from home, but he signed an A-level genius contract with the Spirit Pagoda. Now that he's studying in Donghai City, the Spirit Pagoda can help him find a home in Donghai City for free, so his parents can move in. However, finding a suitable place to live will take time, so his parents haven't come with him yet.
Suddenly, the crowd in front of them automatically parted to both sides, and Tang Wulin followed suit. Looking ahead, he saw a shiny black soul-guided car parked on the platform. To avoid it, people scattered to the sides and walked around it.
Wow, that's awesome! This is a Soul Guidance Train station, and they actually drove a Soul Guidance Car in and parked it on the platform.
As Tang Wulin was thinking this, a young man in a blue tracksuit walked out from behind him and got into the soul-guided car surrounded by a group of bodyguards in black.
(Comment: The Xie family is a local family in Donghai City. Xie Xie often eats braised beef in pots on the streets around Donghai Academy, which means that the Xie family is not far from Donghai Academy. Now that they send bodyguards and private cars to pick them up for school, they can easily go directly from home to Donghai Academy. Appearing at the Soul Guidance Train station is just a forced attempt to create an unpleasant scene for Xie Xie and Tang Wulin's first meeting.)
Also, Tang Wulin, who took the shuttle bus, arrived at Donghai Academy earlier than Xie Xie, who took a private car. Was it because the driver had done too much strenuous exercise and his legs were too weak to press the accelerator?
"Wu Lin, it looks like we're going to have a really cool classmate."
The speaker was a chubby little boy named Wan Yunchao, who was Tang Wulin's classmate at Hongshan Academy.
Tang Wulin, with innate soul power at level seven, is the number one genius of Hongshan Academy, while Wan Yunchao, whose martial soul is a sword and whose innate soul power is at level five, is the second genius of Hongshan Academy.
During their three years at the academy, the two became good friends. This time, they were even traveling in the same carriage on the same Soul Guidance Train because they had applied to the same academy, Donghai Academy.
"You mean that boy in blue from earlier?"
"Yeah, at this age and time, that arrogant guy is probably a freshman at Donghai Academy, just like us. He comes from a big family and has a certain level of talent, so he's probably not bad, but he still can't compare to you, Wu Lin."
As Wan Yunchao spoke, a look of pride appeared on his chubby face.
His good brother is a nine-year-old Great Soul Master, not someone that just any spoiled brat from a powerful family can easily scam.
Although he wasn't as powerful as his good brother, he wasn't bad either. At nine years old, he was a level fourteen Soul Master, and with such talent, he was a true little genius.
"It's hard to say," Tang Wulin said, shaking his head slightly as he watched the soul-guided car disappear into the distance. "A nine-year-old Great Soul Master is very rare, but we must know that there are always people more capable than us, and there is always something beyond our understanding. Only by maintaining a humble heart can we go further."
Brother Huo said that the world is very, very big, while the place he lives in is very, very small.
Arrogance will only blind you to your own position, cause you to lose your true self, and prevent you from going far on the path of a Soul Master.
modesty?
Upon hearing this, Wan Yunchao's lips twitched involuntarily.
Is this a humble way of saying that he beat all the students in the Soul Master class of Red Mountain Academy to a pulp?
…………
Donghai College, ever-evolving.
A gentle breeze rustled through the tree-lined avenue, causing the ancient, verdant trees planted on both sides to whisper in the breeze. Occasionally, a few yellowed leaves would drift down and land on the rustic, heavy bluestone pavement.
The three freshmen walked side by side on the main road, heading deeper into the college.
"Idol, Miss Gu Yuena, shall we report to the Academic Affairs Office first, or go directly to the Dean's Office?"
Xu Xiaoyan smiled gently, a breeze caressing her face, her short bangs fluttering slightly in front of her forehead, highlighting her pure and innocent face, like a pure white flower bud about to bloom.
As a follower of Meng Xinghe, she knew that the beautiful Miss Gu Yuena was one of her own and that her identity was extraordinary. As for the specifics, her idol said it wasn't the right time yet, and she would naturally find out when the time came.
"So beautiful," Xu Xiaoyan peeked at Gu Yuena's stunning profile, a blush creeping onto her fair cheeks.
Miss Gu Yuena was the only person she had ever met who could rival His Majesty the God in terms of appearance.
If judged by appearance, Miss Gu Yuena might be on the same level as His Majesty the God.
"No need," Meng Xinghe said. "Dean Yu has already taken care of the enrollment procedures for us, and the dormitory keys were delivered early this morning. We can go directly to the dormitory building now."
Despite it being his first time at Donghai Academy, Meng Xinghe seemed very familiar with the place, leading Gu Yuena and Xu Xiaoyan to the dormitory building with practiced ease.
The environment here is serene, surrounded by lush and ancient trees. The dormitory building faces south, with a small artificial lake in front of it. The lake water is crystal clear, and goldfish swim in it. Lush green ivy covers the walls on both sides, and the open-air balconies on the second floor and above are filled with pots of flowers that bloom outwards, exuding a pleasant fragrance.
Today is the first day of school, but they are the only ones here, clearly a special treatment given to them by Yu Zhen.
"Wow, it's great to have privileges."
Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up, and she said with great joy:
"Idol, you don't know, the private junior soul master academy that my dad arranged for me, even with connections, I could only share a double dormitory with others, and the accommodation conditions were nowhere near as good as this."
"If you enjoy privileges, you must also bear the corresponding obligations. This kind of good treatment may be free, but it is also the most expensive."
Meng Xinghe took out the keys and handed them to Gu Yuena and Xu Xiaoyan. "It will be very lively here in the future, but for now it's just the three of us. Let's go upstairs and see our room."
This year, Donghai Academy has a very good student body, arguably the best in hundreds of years. It is inevitable that Yu Zhen will concentrate resources to cultivate students with outstanding talents, and the establishment of Class Zero is a foregone conclusion. The three of them are just enjoying this treatment ahead of time.
The first floor of the dormitory is a meditation room and a training room, while the bedrooms for living are on the second floor and up.
"202," Gu Yuena glanced at the key number and turned to look at the key in Meng Xinghe's hand.
"It's 201, right next to me."
For some reason, she felt a secret joy.
Meng Xinghe lives in room 201, Gu Yuena lives in room 202, and so Xu Xiaoyan's room is naturally room 203.
The room's seating arrangement was clearly based on talent: His Majesty the Goddess was first, Miss Gu Yuena was second, and I was third—it was quite reasonable.
I climbed up to the second floor, inserted the key into the lock, clicked, turned the doorknob, and opened the door.
The brown wooden window faces the main door, letting in plenty of light. A light green curtain is propped up on the window with wooden sticks, and it flutters in the wind, pattering on the smooth wooden table. To the left of the wooden table is a row of bookshelves, and to the right is a bed.
The conditions here cannot compare with the Spirit Pagoda, but as a dormitory for an intermediate academy, it is already top-notch. Not to mention compared with the Soul Master Academy of ten thousand years ago, it surpasses many academies even in the present day.
