A few days later,
Near the star dou great forest,
A carriage appeared and stopped near the entrance path.
"Thank you,"
Xiao Yi thanked him and stepped outside the carriage, looking at the surrounding area, the few paths leading to the villages behind him, and the outside area of the forest around in front of him.
"Little brother, don't venture into the forest alone, and also don't stay in this area at night," The driver reminded and then drove the carriage away.
Xiao Yi nodded and then glanced at the direction of the forest deeply; instantly the information about the different species appeared in front of him.
…
[Jade SilkWorm]
Age: 0
Skill: Silk Weaving
…
[Golden Belt Ant]
Age: 0
Skill: Golden Power
…
[Flying Hopper]
Age: 0
Skill: Flying Jump
…
Xiao Yi's expression became strange looking at the details of different small worms and animals in front of him; their age and their unique skill are displayed below their names.
'It seems my unlimited copy talent can copy the skills; it can't copy the whole living thing like a beast, but it can copy as many skills as I want. Maybe it can copy the age and strength of the beast, but I can't test it now as I haven't absorbed any soul ring yet.
Xiao Yi thought to himself while testing the true capabilities of his talent,
He then turned around and glanced at the direction of the villages far away behind him, and then he walked toward one of the villages, but midway he changed direction after someone told him there was a city nearby and there was a junior academy in that city.
After a while,
Xiao Yi walked on the path paved with stones, looking at the city wall in front of him. Also, some buildings were already visible to him.
After walking inside the city, he moved through the city streets looking at the buildings around and also all kinds of normal people and soul masters moving through the streets, walking in and out of these buildings busy with their lives.
Xiao Yi asked for directions and appeared near the Nanling Junior Academy gate. This city is known as Nanling City, one of the ordinary cities located near the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Who are you, kid?" Instantly the concierge stopped him with furrowed brows.
Xiao Yi glanced at him and replied calmly, "I am here to admit I have awakened my martial spirit."
The doorkeeper was startled and then backed away and opened the gate, letting him go inside silently.
'It seems I am really not a protagonist; why is no one bullying me?'
Xiao Yi thought to himself speechlessly, looking at the doorkeeper, and then walked through the gate inside the academy, looking at the small building, not that impressive as the junior college he attended in Douluo Dalu in one timeline.
'Everything is declining in this timeline—education, well-being, and much more—while evil spirit masters are roaming free in the world,'
Xiao Yi thought to himself, looking at the shabby academy building and also the tattered dormitory, while the students were also without uniforms, wearing their home clothes and moving in the academy.
After looking at some students the same age as him, six years old, and others a little older than him, seven or eight years old, he walked forward toward the main building of the academy.
After a while inside the main registration office, looking at the old man in front of him writing his details in the register,
"Tell me your name, age, martial spirit, and soul power, kid," The old man glanced at him and asked with a muddy gaze,
"My name is Xiao Yi, I am six years old, and my martial spirit is Heart; as for the soul power, it's level one." Xiao Yi replied calmly and told him all his details.
The old man nodded disinterestedly and started recording the details. He didn't care if Xiao Yi's martial spirit was Brain or whatever. After recording, he glanced at Xiao Yi again and spoke.
"Your tuition fee is two gold coins, and the accommodation fee is three gold coins per month, totaling five gold coins. Are you going to pay or work as a student?"
Xiao Yi raised his brow and then nodded and replied,
"I will pay,"
After inserting his hand in the pocket, he grabbed out the five shiny gold coins and put them on the table calmly.
Instantly a surprise flashed through the old man's eyes, then his gaze became deeper, looking at Xiao Yi.
'What is the origin of this kid? Anyway, he must be some rich young master. I have to remind those guys to take care of him lest our academy be implicated if something happens to him.
"Very well, wait for a while; I will send someone along with you to show you the dormitory room."
The old registrar then spoke with a smile and pointed at the waiting bench beside Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi nodded and then sat aside on the waiting bench. A young man appeared inside the registration office and took Xiao Yi to the dormitory building.
After a while, looking at the room filled with dust, spiders, and cracks in the walls speechlessly,
'This academy is really shabby; anyway, it's good they gave me a single room to live in,' Xiao Yi thought to himself, and then he started cleaning up the room.
After completing the cleaning process, he left the academy in order to buy the bedding and other necessities for his room.
On the way, he glanced at the purple ring on his finger. After releasing a few silver soul coins, he sensed the two dots in his soul space, and the storage ring from his ring disappeared and was sucked inside these dots again.
