Helping Xiao Wu go to Barak Junior Soul Master Academy is actually not difficult.
As long as Xiao Wu goes to the Spirit Hall to awaken her spirit and obtain the Spirit Awakening Certificate.
Then go to the vicinity of the fishing village and find a village that has work-study student slots but no students to attend school. Obtain a work-study student slot from that village.
The work-study program exempts students from six years of tuition and fees at junior college, which is a great benefit for children from poor families.
Yu Yan's entire fortune amounted to only 1 gold soul coin, 20 silver soul coins, and 600 bronze soul coins. This amount was not much, but it represented his living expenses for a long time to come, so he naturally had to save as much as possible.
Having figured out what to do next, Yu Yan told Xiao Wu about this perfect plan.
"Can we skip going to the Spirit Hall?"
Upon hearing that she was to go to the Spirit Hall, Xiao Wu's first reaction was to refuse. She was afraid that she would encounter a Title Douluo there and have her identity recognized.
"Do you have a grudge against the Spirit Hall?"
Having figured out why Xiao Wu didn't want to go, Yu Yan threw out a topic he had prepared to Xiao Wu: coaxing a child requires gentle persuasion and taking things slowly.
"Yes, yes, that's exactly it."
Xiao Wu, who was just wondering how to refuse to go to the Spirit Hall, immediately nodded in agreement when she heard Yu Yan's words. She didn't want to go to the Spirit Hall because she had a grudge against it.
Of course, she did indeed have a grudge against the Spirit Hall.
Seeing that Xiao Wu's answer was almost exactly what he had expected, Yu Yan immediately asked, "Which Spirit Hall Soul Masters do you have a grudge against? Or rather, which Soul Masters do you have a grudge against?"
"ah?"
Xiao Wu's mind hadn't quite caught up yet; she didn't understand what Yu Yan meant by that.
"To put it simply, the Spirit Hall is a very large organization. It is almost present in every city on this continent. There are many people in this organization, including Title Douluo and ordinary Soul Masters. You can't possibly have a grudge against everyone in the Spirit Hall, can you?"
Yu Yan spread her hands and explained in detail what she wanted to say.
"No, no, how could I possibly have a grudge against anyone in the Spirit Hall?"
Xiao Wu could not and would not regard all the Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall as enemies; her enemies were a few individuals within the Spirit Hall.
"The Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony is held every year. It's a very common and trivial matter. The Soul Masters we might encounter are at most Great Soul Masters. It won't cause any ripples at all. You don't need to be afraid of encountering your enemies."
"Unless you are exceptionally talented, no one will even notice you on this trip."
At this point, Yu Yan couldn't help but think of Xiao Wu's innate full soul power in the original work.
It's outrageous that Notting City has two geniuses with innate full soul power, yet not a single major power has come to recruit them, and it hasn't even caused much of a stir.
It should be noted that the highest spirit power of the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall was only level nine and a half. Xiao Wu and Tang San, whose spirit power was higher than that of the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, were not recruited or inspected by anyone.
In response, Yu Yan stated that the local forces in Douluo Continent were far too principled in terms of martial ethics.
Hearing that she would only encounter a Grand Soul Master at most when she went to awaken her Martial Soul, Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief and straightened her back, leaning back in her chair again.
"Then there's no problem. When do we go to the Spirit Hall for the awakening ceremony? By the way, Yu Yan, how much innate soul power do you have?"
Leaning back in her chair, Xiao Wu prepared to slightly control her innate soul power level, just enough to match Yu Yan's.
"My innate soul power is level seven and a half, so I can be considered a minor genius."
Xiao Wu's thoughts are really easy to guess; she practically has her intention to copy Yu Yan's innate soul power written all over her face.
Yu Yan didn't expose her little scheme and revealed his innate soul power level.
"Okay, okay, I understand." Knowing how much innate soul power she should have, Xiao Wu's mind turned to another matter: "Yu Yan, when are we going to Barak City for our martial soul awakening? I've never been to a city before."
After resolving her biggest problem, Xiao Wu was eager to see the bustling human city she had never set foot in before, a city she had only heard about from her mother.
Yu Yan had already thought about this question, and he immediately gave his answer when Xiao Wu asked it:
"Let's go to the village chief this afternoon and ask when the villagers are going to Barak City. We can hitch a ride on the village's horse-drawn carriages; that way it will be faster and less strenuous."
"Can't we go in the morning?"
Xiao Wu, eager to see the city, wished she could fly there right now.
"Grandpa Yu isn't home this morning, and we won't be able to find him. We should be able to go around 2 p.m. This morning, we'll clean the room you'll be staying in."
As a man living alone, don't expect his place to be very clean, and certainly don't expect the rooms he doesn't live in to be very clean.
Now that Xiao Wu is coming to stay, it's impossible for her to live with me directly, so naturally I need to clean the house.
"oh."
Xiao Wu wasn't very interested when she heard it was cleaning, but she didn't refuse.
The room Yu Yan prepared for Xiao Wu was the room of his deceased parents, and it was slightly larger than the place he lived in, which made Xiao Wu very satisfied.
At noon, to welcome Xiao Wu's arrival, Yu Yan specially prepared one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, and a radish soup, showing off his hospitality.
The fact that Xiao Wu ate until her belly was big shows that she was really satisfied with the meal.
After the meal, Yu Yan, who was sitting with Xiao Wu, reminded her that this was a celebratory meal to welcome her, and that future meals would not be this lavish.
Xiao Wu patted her bloated belly, indicating that she didn't mind. She would be satisfied as long as the meals were as good as those in the morning.
Seeing how easily Xiao Wu was satisfied, Yu Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Little rabbits are so easy to raise."
Xiao Wu sat there thinking how wonderful human society was, with its excellent cultivation methods, delicious food, and wonderful people.
...
At 2 p.m., Yu Yan and Xiao Wu arrived hand in hand at the village chief Yu Laotou's house.
Yu Yan explained to the village chief the tragic backstory of his distant cousin, Xiao Wu—well, a tragic backstory fabricated based on outrageous events from her past life.
It is said that when Xiao Wu's parents went into the mountains to collect herbs, they were accidentally killed by wild animals. Her despicable relatives exploited Xiao Wu, causing her to lose her family line, and even made her their mentally challenged son's child bride.
To get rid of those guys, Xiao Wu had no choice but to come and seek refuge with her kind aunt's family.
Yu Yan said that his parents were indeed dead, but he couldn't abandon his poor cousin.
Xiao Wu arrived in a hurry and did not awaken her martial soul. He planned to take his cousin Xiao Wu to the Martial Soul Hall to awaken her martial soul the next time the villagers went to the city.
Yu Yan's mother did indeed marry into the village from another place; she was not a local of Yu Village. Old Man Yu didn't know where his mother had married from either.
This story, which was three parts truth and seven parts falsehood, left Old Man Yu completely bewildered. However, judging from his angry expression, he believed the story.
The only downside is that the story seems to have been written a bit too much.
