Chapter 110: Notting College Begins. Yu Xiaogang Hears of a Genius with Innate Full Soul Power Being Admitted
After Xiao Kuang and Xiao Chenyu knelt down in submission, Su Mo naturally nodded without any comment.
Then, he used the healing ability of the Martial Soul – the Life Tree Staff – to treat Xiao Kuang's injuries.
Upon witnessing the healing power of the Life Tree Staff Martial Soul, both Xiao Kuang and Xiao Chenyu were stunned!
Because Xiao Kuang's injuries weren't just superficial cuts.
His ribs were broken, and his internal organs were bleeding. These were considered severe injuries!
Recovering from such injuries wasn't an easy task.
Yet Su Mo was able to heal them so easily.
It was clear that his Martial Soul wasn't just an ordinary auxiliary healing-type Martial Soul!
After seeing Su Mo's impressive healing powers, Xiao Kuang genuinely surrendered this time.
Although today's events had been a bit humiliating, if the Xiao family could truly win Su Mo's favor,
they might have an even brighter future ahead!
After witnessing Su Mo's potential,
Xiao Kuang couldn't help but recall a story he had once heard:
the tale of Ning Fengzhi, leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, many years ago.
...
With help from Xiao Chenyu and Xiao Kuang, Su Mo successfully won over Xiao Wu's heart, received the mental induction reward and triple twist opportunities, and also subdued the Xiao family.
Su Mo then took Xiao Wu back to the Tulip Hotel.
In the days that followed, to please Su Mo,
Xiao Kuang prepared a luxurious mansion in Notting City within just a few days, gifted it to Su Mo, and invited him to live there.
Su Mo did not refuse and moved in with Xiao Wu.
Time passed quickly, and several days went by in a flash.
Finally, the day of Notting College's opening arrived.
That day, Su Mo was his usual self. After waking up, he exercised a bit in the mansion's courtyard under the morning sun.
After breakfast with the mansion's chef,
Su Mo slowly accompanied Xiao Wu to Notting College, ready to enroll her.
Walking through the bustling streets, crowded with people and traffic,
Su Mo soon saw a fairly large school building.
What caught his eye was a tall archway,
over ten meters high and nearly twenty meters wide. It was built from solid stone, with two iron gates controlling entrance and exit.
Hanging above the archway was a plaque with a line of golden characters:
"Notting City Junior Soul Master College!"
"Let's go! That's Notting College,"
Su Mo exclaimed, taking Xiao Wu's hand as they headed straight to the college.
Tang San and Old Jack's experience differed from the original novel.
Since they wore tattered clothes, it was obvious they were from a poor village and had no money to bribe the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper started speaking poorly of Tang San and Old Jack.
But Su Mo was clearly not an ordinary person—his elegant clothing and attractive face made that obvious.
And Xiao Wu, by his side, was dressed like a beautiful little princess, all thanks to Su Mo.
So when the gatekeeper saw Su Mo and Xiao Wu, he immediately approached with flattery, opened the iron gate for them, and invited them inside.
It must be said, whether on Earth or in another world, reality remains the same!
"By the way, I heard that at Notting College, if you're a work-study student, you can enroll for free. Before us, have any other work-study students come to enroll?"
After passing through the archway with Xiao Wu, Su Mo suddenly turned his head, looked at the gatekeeper beside him, and asked.
"Student?"
The gatekeeper, dressed in a grayish-brown uniform and seemingly in his twenties, was a bit confused. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and replied:
"My lord, before you arrived, no other student had come to enroll at our academy. It's not easy for ordinary villages to produce soul masters."
A flash of disdain flickered in the gatekeeper's eyes.
"Alright, got it."
Hearing this, Su Mo immediately knew Tang San hadn't arrived yet.
After casually rewarding the gatekeeper with a gold spirit coin, Su Mo took Xiao Wu's hand and walked along the avenue of Notting College toward the building ahead.
There weren't many tall buildings at Notting College. The one ahead should be the teaching building.
He remembered that the registration office was on the first floor.
So, Su Mo took Xiao Wu, quickly found the registration office inside the building, and entered.
"Are you here to enroll?"
There were many teachers inside the office. Among them, an older teacher in a white shirt and black coat, with gray hair and a beard, immediately asked when he saw Su Mo and Xiao Wu.
"Yes, I brought her to enroll."
Su Mo nodded and walked Xiao Wu to the desk where the elderly teacher sat.
"Do you have a Martial Soul certificate? Please show it."
As Su Mo and Xiao Wu approached, the elderly teacher—Director Su—immediately pulled out a stack of enrollment forms from beneath the desk and placed them on the table.
Then he took out a pen and prepared to fill out Xiao Wu's information.
"Sorry! She doesn't have a Martial Soul certificate, but do you have a crystal ball to test soul power? If so, we can test her soul power here, right?"
Su Mo asked, shaking his head.
"That works too."
Hearing that Xiao Wu didn't have a Martial Soul certificate from the Spirit Hall, Director Su looked at her in surprise but said nothing. Instead, he pulled out a dark blue crystal ball from under the desk and continued:
"Tell me your details first: your name, age, Martial Soul, place of residence. Then summon your Martial Soul and test your soul power."
"My name is Xiao Wu, I'm six years old, and my Martial Soul is a Soft Bone Rabbit..."
Xiao Wu wasn't afraid of Director Su's questions. She held Su Mo's arm with her tiny hand, smiled adorably, and provided all the information.
"Alright, summon your Martial Soul and test your soul power!"
Director Su continued after filling out the form.
"Okay, I got it!"
Xiao Wu nodded, summoned her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, and placed her soft, white hand on the dark blue crystal ball to test her soul power.
Director Su wasn't surprised by Xiao Wu's Martial Soul—while the Soft Bone Rabbit is a beast-type Martial Soul, it wasn't considered very powerful.
But as soon as the crystal ball emitted a brilliant, dazzling light,
both Director Su and the other teachers in the room couldn't help but widen their eyes and exclaim in shock.
"How is this possible?! Is it really... innate full soul power?!"
Upon discovering that Xiao Wu possessed innate full soul power, all the teachers were stunned.
Even Director Su's calm demeanor changed, and his gaze became fiery.
The reason was simple: geniuses with innate full soul power were usually recruited by the Spirit Hall or other powerful soul master families or sects.
And now, such a genius had come to enroll at their humble Notting College.
It was like back on Earth, when a third-tier university unexpectedly admitted the top scorer of the national exam!
After discovering Xiao Wu's innate full soul power, everything regarding her enrollment naturally became streamlined!
Soon, Xiao Wu completed her registration.
"Alright, Xiao Wu, your dorm is in Dorm One. Your brother can take you there now."
As he handed over the Notting College uniform, Director Su's old face lit up with a kind smile.
"No, we're not done yet!"
Su Mo shook his head and chuckled at Director Su's words.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Director Su was stunned and a little confused.
"Actually, I didn't just come to Notting College to enroll my sister. Isn't Notting College hiring teachers? I'm here to apply for a teaching position!"
Su Mo said with a grin.
...
Meanwhile, the fact that Xiao Wu tested with innate full soul power caused a stir among the teachers in the office.
While Director Su handled Xiao Wu's enrollment,
several young teachers left the office and went to the cafeteria, chatting about Xiao Wu along the way.
Upon arrival,
as faculty, they dined on the second floor.
While eating, they couldn't help but discuss Xiao Wu.
"It's really unimaginable that a genius with full soul power came to our Notting College!"
"Incredible! Maybe Notting College has finally gotten lucky. It's worth seeing such a legendary genius in person!"
"Yeah, but it's a shame. Even if we're lucky enough to have a genius with full soul power join us, can Notting College really nurture such talent? Might we hold her back?"
While these young teachers spoke,
not far from their table sat a middle-aged man in a black bachelor's robe, with short hair, an ordinary face, and a somewhat rigid expression. He paused upon hearing their conversation.
A genius with innate full soul power came to our Notting College?
