Chapter 21 Dormitory 101
Upon entering the dormitory building, Qian Yuhan found the door to room number 101.
Qian Yuhan pushed open the door and entered, and what came into view were four beds, with a table underneath. Each table was clean and tidy, and the window was open to let in some fresh air.
Qian Yuhan chose a bed that was a little further from the door. Next to the bed was a large personal locker. Identity verification and a password were required before it could be used.
Qian Yuhan set the password, opened the cabinet, and put all her personal belongings and other items from her luggage inside.
She finished packing in less than an hour. Just as Qian Yuhan was about to go out for a stroll around the school as planned, the dormitory door opened…
A young man with short, white hair entered. His hair was as white as snowflakes, exuding a unique charm. His face was as white as snow, his skin delicate and smooth, seemingly fragile enough to break at a touch. His jawline was well-defined. His eyes were bright and clear, like two dazzling stars, radiating a captivating light. His eyebrows were thick and neat, slightly raised, revealing a touch of heroic spirit. Describing him as a handsome young man would not be an exaggeration. Compared to Qian Yuhan's appearance, the two were equally beautiful, each possessing their own unique charm.
"Hey bro, my name is Mu Chen, I'm in Class 2." The boy who came in greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Qian Yuhan, I'm in Class 1," Qian Yuhan replied.
"Bro, you're quite handsome."
"Same to you, you too."
Just then, two more people entered dormitory 101.
"Oh, so two people have already arrived. We thought we would be the first to arrive."
One of the two said.
Qian Yuhan looked over and saw that the two were actually twins, looking exactly alike, with no difference whatsoever.
"Oh right, my name is Tang Xuan, I'm the older brother, and his name is Tang Chen, I'm the younger brother. We're biological brothers, born of the same mother, hahaha, no doubt about it." Tang Xuan said, patting Tang Chen on the shoulder.
"Then how will we tell who's who from now on?" Mu Chen, who was next to Qian Yuhan, asked.
"Sound," Tang Chen replied, without uttering a single unnecessary word.
Qian Yuhan and Mu Chen nodded. Tang Xuan and Tang Chen's voices were indeed very different. Tang Chen, the younger brother, had a very deep voice, while Tang Xuan's voice was—well, a rather lewd, duck-like sound…
"Haha, then all 101 of us are here! I'm Mu Chen from Class 2, and he's Qian Yuhan from Class 1." Mu Chen was a very lively and cheerful person. He introduced himself and also introduced Qian Yuhan to the Tang brothers, Tang Xuan and Tang Chen.
Even though we've only known each other for less than five minutes, it feels like we've been friends since childhood.
"You are Qian Yuhan!" Tang Xuan said in surprise.
"What, you know me?" Qian Yuhan asked back, afraid that Tang Xuan would find out his true identity.
"Ah, on my way to the dorm just now, I overheard a group of people chatting about how a guy named Qian Yuhan offended Dai Shengxi. Dai Shengxi has been called to the dean's office and is getting a scolding. They said your days might not be going to be easy from now on," Tang Xuan explained.
"Are you familiar with Dai Shengxi?" Qian Yuhan couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
"Huh? Of course we're not familiar with each other. We came from Tian Dou. As soon as we entered the school, we heard everyone talking about a spoiled brat who came to the Spirit Hall Academy. We found out his name was Dai Shengxi. He's even in the same class as us, Class 4!!" Tang Xuan exaggeratedly pulled his face with his hand, looking very pained and uncomfortable.
"Brother Yu Han, you'd better be careful of him from now on," Tang Chen said, not like his brother, but just offering a reminder from the side.
"Yes, I understand, thank you." Qian Yuhan nodded.
"Don't stand there yet! Yu Han has finished packing, but the three of us are still carrying our luggage!" Mu Chen's shoulders were aching terribly, and she finally realized that she had been so busy chatting that she hadn't even had her luggage on her shoulders.
Qian Yuhan quickly made room for the three of them to go in and pack up. She then turned to the others and said, "You guys pack up first. I'm going out to take a look around and see where the cafeteria is. Let's go to the cafeteria together for a meal later."
"Row."
"okay!"
The three answered.
……
Strolling through the Spirit Hall Academy, Qian Yuhan exclaimed in amazement at how vast the academy was!
This reminded him of when he read the novel "Douluo Continent" in his original world before transmigrating, where the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters were powerful and numerous, so it seemed there was some basis for this.
The Spirit Hall Academy is arguably the largest in the entire continent at present.
The area of this lake is equivalent to the entire area of some of the Soul Master Schools in the subordinate kingdoms of the Heaven Dou Empire. In the center of the lake is a small island with a palace-like building on it.
"What is that?" Qian Yuhan squinted, trying to see more clearly, but the building was still faintly visible due to the moisture.
"The building on that island is the Soul Cultivation Tower, which all the lower-grade students at the Spirit Hall Academy aspire to..."
A male voice rang out next to Qian Yuhan. Qian Yuhan turned her head and saw a short, fat man.
The fat boy looked at Qian Yuhan, extended his hand and said, "Let's get acquainted? My name is Fang Qing, I'm a second-year student."
"Qian Yuhan, Class 1, Grade 1".
"First grade, class one? So you're in the same class as my sister? You two haven't been in class yet, have you? You'll see each other tomorrow. My sister's name is Fang Ya, she's a real beauty!"
Qian Yuhan extended her hand, and the two shook hands. Fang Qing raised an eyebrow and teased her.
Qian Yuhan, curious after hearing Fang Qing mention the "Soul Cultivation Tower," asked, "What is the Soul Cultivation Tower?"
"I heard that the Soul Cultivation Tower stood there before the Spirit Hall was established. Later, the Spirit Hall took control of this area, and this building was also studied and developed by the predecessors of the Spirit Hall. They discovered that cultivating in this tower can accelerate the improvement of soul power, and the effect is more obvious the higher you go."
"So that's its purpose." Qian Yuhan looked at the building in the distance, which was faintly glowing, filled with longing.
"This tower is quite mysterious. It has nine floors in total, but only the sixth floor has been developed so far. The academy originally wanted to talk to the elders of the Spirit Hall about whether they could forcefully break through it, but it is said that the judge elder vetoed it. Rumor has it that there are terrifying things on the seventh, eighth, and ninth floors, and the corridor between the sixth and seventh floors is sealed by a powerful barrier that cannot be opened at all."
Qian Yuhan: The Judgment Elder? Father? Why did Father reject it? Could it be that there's something even more terrifying on the seventh, eighth, or ninth floor of this tower? Did Father leave to find a way to fight that thing?
Good grief, Qian Yuhan was just daydreaming and completely got the wrong idea...
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Fang Qing patted Qian Yuhan, who was leaning against the railing in a daze.
"Senior Fang Qing, where did you learn all this? These must be secrets of the Spirit Hall, right?" Qian Yuhan was startled, but after regaining her senses, she asked.
Fang Qing looked around, then leaned close to Qian Yuhan's ear and whispered, "Let me tell you, my family has some inside connections in the Spirit Hall, you know—"
After saying that, he returned to his original position, smiled and winked at Qian Yuhan, meaning: You know what I mean, I'm a nepotism hire—
