As Tang Yin was entering the dorm, he found that there were many other students already living there, and they were talking to each other.
"Hi, are you two the new work-study students?"
"Yes, we are the new work-study students. I'm Mo Ling. My martial soul is Blue Lotus, soul power 2, support system. Please take care of me,"
Mo Ling said, smiling towards the group of boys.
"I'm Tang Yin. Martial soul: Blue Silver Plant. Soul power: 10. Support-type soul master."
"Innate soul power 10? Wow!" Gasps were heard from the boys.
"You can take any empty bed around here. I am the boss of Dorm 7, Meng Li. Martial soul: Fire Tiger. Soul power level 8. You can call me Boss Meng."
"Okay, Boss." After saying this, both went to choose their beds.
Tang Yin chose a bed right next to a window where sunlight would fall on his bed. As he was preparing his bed and placing his belongings in their rightful place, a teacher came.
"Who among you are Tang Yin and Mo Ling? Come here."
"Tang Yin and Mo Ling, you two will be responsible for cleaning the garden in the backyard corner of the school. You will be paid 10 bronze coins per day, but you have to clean it thoroughly."
"Okay, Teacher."
After telling them of their duties, the teacher returned.
"Okay, Tang Yin, Mo Ling, let's go eat at the cafeteria. Today is my treat." Saying this, Meng Li took them toward the cafeteria. After reaching the cafeteria, Meng Li ordered some steamed buns and soup. As they were eating, the noble students eating on the second floor saw Meng Li and his group and started talking, making fun of them.
"I heard that among the new students, there is a work-study student with 10 soul power, but interestingly, his martial soul is a Blue Silver Plant."
"What? Innate soul power 10? I say the Spirit Hall officer must have mistaken a 1 for 10."
"But what if it were true?"
"So what if it is true? His martial soul is a Blue Silver Plant. How much progress can he make with that trash soul?"
"Isn't it funny how a trash soul got a full innate soul power?" A red-haired noble boy said mockingly, looking at Meng Li's group.
"This damn Feng Mo! Because his father is a Spirit Elder, he always runs his dirty mouth everywhere."
"But Boss Meng, why don't you fight with him or scold him back?" Tang Yin asked, looking toward Meng Li.
"Xiaoyin, it's because his spirit power is 12, and he is the student boss of the school, so no one dares to talk back to him."
"It seems I have to obtain my first spirit ring as soon as possible."
After eating their food, everyone returned to their room.
"According to the Douluo Dalu book, the Blue Silver Plant has only one characteristic: its strong and abundant life force. So I should follow this path, as in the early stage, it does not possess attack ability. It will be even better if I mutate it and improve its talent."
As Tang Yin said this, he closed his eyes and started meditating on the common meditation technique obtained from the Martial Soul Hall. He felt the aura from heaven and earth was very friendly towards him and slowly but steadily was being absorbed into his body. As he was absorbing the spirit power, his body was being mended by the rich energy around him. Soon, night passed, and a new day arrived. Unknowingly, he had meditated the whole night during his first cultivation session. His skin had become much fairer than before.
Today was a day off, as the opening ceremony for new students was tomorrow. So Tang Yin went to the library to gather knowledge about soul beasts needed for his spirit ring.
"Excuse me, Miss Cheng. Can I know where the book containing knowledge about plant-type spirit beasts is?"
"Books about plant-type beasts are on the third floor, fourth rack. You can read here, but without making any noise."
"Thank you." After knowing where the book was, he went to read it. That day, he spent all day researching plant-type spirit beasts, primarily life-attributed ones.
The next morning, he went to the director asking for leave, as he needed to hunt for a spirit beast. The director granted him leave after asking a few questions.
Afterward, he left the academy and went to the Spirit Hall. "I am here to test my soul power level to apply for a soul beast pass. Can I go in?"
After learning his purpose, the two guards let him enter the Spirit Hall of Nuoding. Inside, he asked a girl at the desk for directions to test his soul level. Hearing he had come to test his soul power, she directed him to the main hall. Upon entering the main chamber, he saw an old man. After explaining his purpose, the old man told him to place his hand on the crystal ball. As soon as he did, it glowed with full brightness.
"You truly have soul power level 10. I will issue you a spirit pass, but after you hunt a spirit beast, you must return it to me. So don't lose it, okay?" the old man said to Tang Yin, handing him a spirit pass.
After getting the spirit pass, Tang Yin went to the market to buy weapons and dry food for his journey. He spent the entire day shopping for needed materials for the journey. In the afternoon, he returned to the academy, preparing for tomorrow, feeling excited.
