Several hours later.
The carriage finally arrived at Nuoding City.
Su Yuxuan leaned toward the carriage window, his eyes widening as he took in the sight before him.
Tall buildings.
Busy streets.
Merchants pushing carts.
Soul masters walking through the crowds.
The city was nothing like Holy Spirit Village.
Even though Nuoding City was only a relatively small city within the Heaven Dou Empire, to Yuxuan, who had spent his entire life in a village...
It felt enormous.
"So this is Nuoding City." His eyes shone with curiosity.
After spending years preparing himself in Holy Spirit Village, he had finally stepped into the wider world.
A much bigger playground and from this point onward, His memories of the original story would become increasingly useful.
The carriage continued through the city before eventually arriving near the western side.
There stood Nuoding Elementary Soul Master Academy.
Yuxuan had already known from the novel that the academy wasn't particularly small.
It possessed several training fields used for mock combat.
There was also a back mountain covered in vegetation, including a large amount of Blue Silver Grass.
A small stream ran through the area as well.
For Yuxuan that alone made the academy an excellent place to cultivate.
Perhaps he could use the back mountain as another cultivation spot for his Heavenly Life Tree Technique.
While Yuxuan was looking around.
A sleepy voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Huh?"
"Are we in Nuoding already?"
Huang Zhikai rubbed his eyes.
Apparently, the hunter had slept through most of the journey.
Yuxuan couldn't help chuckling.
"Yes, Uncle Huang."
Huang looked toward the academy.
"Time really passes quickly when you're sleeping."
Yuxuan shook his head.
---
The carriage stopped near the academy's main entrance.
Huang Zhikai climbed down first.
Yuxuan followed.
Standing before them was a large gate bearing the name of the academy.
Nuoding Elementary Soul Master Academy.
Yuxuan's gaze briefly settled on the academy guards.
He immediately recognized one of them.
So this is the guard who originally looked down on Grandpa Jack and Tang San.
The guard noticed them approaching and immediately stepped forward.
"Halt!"
"Why have you come to the academy?"
Huang Zhikai gave him a polite smile.
"It's like this, sir."
"I'm just bringing my little nephew here so that he can enter the Elementary Soul Master Academy."
The guard looked at Yuxuan.
Then at Huang.
His expression became slightly skeptical.
"Very well."
"Please show me his Spirit Hall Soul Master Certificate."
Yuxuan didn't say anything.
He simply opened his leather bag and took out the certification document given to him after his martial soul awakening.
He handed it over.
The guard carefully examined the certificate.
His eyes moved across the information.
"Martial Soul..."
"Blue Silver Grass."
"Innate Soul Power..."
"Level three."
The guard's expression remained indifferent.
"Decent enough."
"But still a trash martial soul."
Yuxuan's eyebrow twitched slightly.
He didn't bother arguing.
The man's opinion didn't matter to him.
The guard returned the certificate.
"So Are you a new Work-Study Student?"
Yuxuan shook his head.
"No, sir."
"I'm registering as a normal student."
The guard raised an eyebrow.
"Normal student?"
Yuxuan nodded.
"My family members are all Soul Masters, so I can afford the academy's tuition."
The guard's attitude immediately became a little more professional.
"I see."
He nodded.
"Then once you enter through the gate, follow the stone path."
"Enter the academy's main building."
"Take a right and walk straight."
"Then take a left."
"That's where the front office is located."
Yuxuan memorized the directions.
The guard continued explaining.
"The staff there will process your registration."
"Registration costs five Silver Soul Coins."
"Tuition is ten Silver Soul Coins per month."
"Once you've registered, you'll be assigned a dormitory room."
"Usually, new students are assigned rooms in Dormitories Three through Five."
Yuxuan nodded.
Then the guard added something that immediately caught his attention.
"Since you come from a Soul Master family."
"You can also request a private room."
Yuxuan blinked.
"A private room?"
The guard nodded.
"The academy can provide one for five Gold Soul Coins per year."
"It's larger than the standard dormitory rooms."
"It comes with bedding and basic facilities."
"And you'll even have your own private bath."
Yuxuan's eyes brightened.
This information wasn't in the novel.
Of course, that wasn't surprising.
Tang San had entered as a Work-Study Student.
His circumstances were completely different.
He had no reason to inquire about private accommodations.
Yuxuan, however had no reason to squeeze into a crowded dormitory either.
Five Gold Soul Coins a year was practically nothing compared to his family's inheritance.
"Thank you for telling me."
The guard waved his hand.
"It's nothing."
Yuxuan reached into his bag.
He took out five Silver Soul Coins and placed them into the guard's hand.
"Please accept this as a small token of appreciation."
The guard stared at the coins.
His expression immediately brightened.
"Ah... You really don't have to."
Despite saying that, his hand had already closed around the coins.
Yuxuan smiled.
"Please take them."
The guard's attitude became noticeably warmer.
"Then thank you."
"Good luck with your studies."
Yuxuan nodded politely.
"Thank you."
He turned toward Huang Zhikai.
"Uncle Huang, I'll go register now."
Huang nodded.
"Alright, Well take care from now on Little Yuxuan... Learn and grow to become a Famous soul master in the future"
Huang Zhikai said while patting Yuxuan on his head.
Yuxuan smiled.
"Understood."
With that He picked up his leather bag and walked toward the academy entrance.
As he passed through the gate, Yuxuan glanced back one final time.
His peaceful life in Holy Spirit Village was officially behind him.
Nuoding Academy awaited and somewhere inside the academy is as That Fraud Yu Xiaogang.
Yuxuan quietly smiled "Here we go."
