Chapter - 9

It took them some time to see all the facilities owned by the school. The teachers and students who came to see the existing facilities were amazed by all the existing facilities. But what amazed them the most were the three facilities made by Rey. One hundred stairs facility, spirit building facility, and practice room facility. The facility of a hundred steps can be used to practice improving mental abilities because in the hundred stairs there is a kind of energy that can help to practice one's mentality. The higher the ladder a person climbs, the higher the mental stress they will get.

The next facility is a spirit building. In this facility the one who was most excited was Qian Douli. Not only could a Soul Master be able to get the soul ability desired by a Soul Master, here also a Soul Master could increase the lifespan of their soul ring. However, in order to increase the lifespan of the soul ring, Rey limited the rule to only once every six months.

Having had the opportunity to give it a try, Qian Douli asked to use his chance now. Rey allowed him while also teaching Zi Ji how to use the facility. Just as the process was about to begin, Qian Douli opened his martial soul along with his nine soul rings with a combination of eight black and one red.

The children who had witnessed this were very surprised as this was the first time they had seen a Title Douluo. Previously they had heard of self-introductions, however, there would be a difference hearing people speak and seeing them in person. They were finally able to confirm Rey's words were true that every single one of the Masters in this school was a Title Douluo which was usually very hard to find even for ordinary people it was like a legend. Knowing this, their feelings for going to school here became stronger and more excited.

Qian Douli's soul ring's lifespan increasing process was fast. There was a change to Qian Douli's soul ring. Previously his soul ring had a combination of eight black and one red, it had changed to 6 black and three red. Qian Douli couldn't reach the nine red soul ring combination because his physical strength was insufficient. This was also told by Rey to him. But that didn't make Qian Douli sad or disappointed but rather he was eager to improve his physical fitness after this for the sake of obtaining the 9 red soul ring combination which symbolized the 100,000 year soul ring.

The last facility that amazed them was the practice facility. This facility has a function to be used to practice. In this facility, everyone who uses this facility can set up his training ground and the enemies he wants to fight. Even if they wanted to go against the previous rules , this facility provided it.

Gu Ren was most excited after learning about the function of this facility. Moreover, he is on duty at this facility and has full authority over this facility. Even after seeing this facility, Gu Ren didn't want to take a look at the school anymore but he wanted to stay here to fight the people who were his previous opponents for revenge and improve his abilities. After all, in this facility there is no such thing as the concept of death. So, even if Gu Ren died there, he would instantly be revived.

Actually it wasn't only Gu Ren who was excited, Mazino, Di Tian, Qian Douli, Gu Yuena, and the others were very excited about this facility. But comparing it to the enthusiasm displayed by Gu Ren, they were still far behind. It could be said that Gu Ren was a soul beast who was passionate about fighting.

This facility only has two rooms. Therefore, to use this facility one has to register first if someone already wants to use it and if no one uses it, they can use it directly. After this notification was found out by the soul beasts, they immediately booked a place to use the practice room and even Qian Douli also ordered because he wanted to also use the facility.

After making a reservation, one can only use the facility once. The meaning of one time is that when someone has had their turn, they can only choose one enemy to fight and once finished, their turn is over and replaced by someone else and so on. It's different if no one registers, people who use it can be free to use it whenever they want.

After looking around the school, the soul beasts immediately asked to say goodbye because they needed to prepare their residence in the teacher's dormitory. They are very excited because they can arrange their residence according to their own wishes. The AI Robots had previously been ordered by Rey to go buy ingredients and seasonings for the food they would consume by giving them a storage ring that had a value of 10 million gold soul coins.

Qian Douli after he finished looking at the facilities owned by the school immediately said goodbye to carry out the tasks that Rey had given him at the same time he wanted to immediately pick up his granddaughter to be included in this school. Before leaving, Rey handed Qian Douli a piece of paper that had a logo on it with a crown on it. The logo is the symbol that will be used as the school logo.

As for the children, they followed Rey to the park with full faces because they didn't expect to attend such an extraordinary school. Even the sorrowful images that had been held within Lin Qingzhu and Jiang Xun from the impact of the Evil Soul Master's earlier attack had completely disappeared.

"What do you think of this school?" Rey asked, smiling at the four children in front of her.

"Very wonderful, Master. This school is very big and also magnificent." Lin Qingzhu said excitedly in a sweet voice.

"Yes, even the room we are going to use is also very large compared to the largest building in our village" Urek said in a tone full of emotion and surprise.

Jiang Xun nodded in agreement with what his two friends said.

"It's true that the room we got was amazing. However, I think the most extraordinary thing is the practice room. By using that room, we can challenge anyone there. It's amazing that we won't even die as long as we die there. Come to think of it, with no concept of death there, we can practice fighting without fear of affecting ourselves. Hahahaha… That's heaven for me" Mazino said with pleasure.

Even if the other three people agreed with Mazino's opinion, they weren't fighting madmen like him. The three children had even labeled Mazino with the nickname of a battle maniac and understood what Rey said earlier that Mazino and Gu Ren had similarities.

"Teacher, shall we start to awaken the martial soul? I can't wait to see my martial soul." Lin Qingzhu turned his attention back to Rey as he said excitedly with a smile.

"I am also looking forward to my martial soul." Jiang Xun who rarely spoke also expressed his opinion. It could be said that he was also impatiently waiting for his martial soul.

"Yes. Master will help both of you to awaken your martial souls. Later after that, we will go to Soutou City to go buy the necessities that you will use daily"

"Yes Master" The four of them nodded enthusiastically.

"Alright then, Xiao Qing, Xiao Xun, please come forward."

Lin Qingzhu and Jiang Xun nodded and walked forward until in front of Rey they both stopped. Urek and Mazino who were behind walked to the side because they both also wanted to see the process of awakening the martial soul and wanted to know the martial soul of their new friend. Rey doesn't mind this because the way she learns is quite free and not too constrained by the existing rules.

It could be said that Rey considered her student to be her friend.

"Before we begin, remember to make yourselves as comfortable as possible. If something inside of you wants to come out, you just let it go and don't hold it in. Also, don't be disappointed if you awaken low soul power, low martial soul, or even not awaken soul force at all. You just believe the same, Master. Even if you don't awaken soul power, Master will help you to have soul power and become a great Soul Master in the future."

"We understand, Master." Lin Qingzhu and Jiang Xun nodded and lost all worry.

"Good, then, let's start awakening the two of you martial souls"

Rey immediately released her own power and turned it into a soul force that could draw martial souls from within the bodies of the two students. Unlike the martial soul awakening process which usually uses resurrection stones, with the abilities possessed by him, Rey can easily awaken someone's martial soul and can even give soul power to those who do not have soul power at all.

Lin Qingzhu and Jiang Xun's bodies slowly began to float upwards, they both felt that something inside of them wanted to come out. Following the instructions Rey had given them, the two of them didn't hold it in but released it by opening their right palms. Above their palms suddenly appeared an object that could be said to be their respective martial souls.

"Book?" Lin Qingzhu looked at his martial soul with a curious look.

Lin Qingzhu's martial soul was a book that had a thickness of 50 sheets like the books normally used by schoolchildren to write notes and had brown samples like tree bark brown.

"Sword?" Jiang Xun stared with glee at his martial soul which was the sword.

Jiang Xun's martial soul is a sword with a length of 75 cm with black algae like the sword used by westerners in ancient times.

"Books and swords? Wow, if it's good martial arts." Rey nodded and slowly regained her strength which made Lin Qingzhu and Jiang Xun slowly their bodies return to the ground.

"Teacher why do you say their martial souls are good martial souls? For Jiang Xun's martial soul that is the sword does have the ability to attack, but for Lin Qingzhu's martial soul it's just a book, doesn't that martial soul have no attack power?" Urek asked in confusion.

Not only he was confused but the other three were also confused by Rey's words.

"Who said books don't have attack power, Xiao Ur? It's just your understanding because you've seen the book is only used to write a note. Xiao Qing's martial soul isn't really a bad martial soul, it's actually very good. You know, there is a book called Grimoire."

"Grimoires?" The four of them asked in a confused tone because it was the first time they heard it.

"Grimoire is a book that is used to store various abilities possessed by a person. Usually to activate this ability, a Grimoire user only needs to enter his power into the Grimoire to activate the abilities stored in the book. Just like Xiao Qing's martial soul, she can function the same. You should know, it's different from outside schools that require students to find soul beasts that are suitable for their martial soul as well as the appropriate age to be able to get the soul ability that they want, even if they are lucky otherwise they might not be lucky and get trash martial soul. You don't have to do that here. You remember my explanation at the spirit building?" Rey asked them with a smile.

"Yes. Master told us that we don't need to look for soul beasts like the other Soul Masters out there do. We simply think about the soul ability we want and use the tools in the spirit building to condense the soul ring as we wish." Urek said.

The other three nodded and still clearly remembered the explanation given by Rey.

"So true. Unlike the Soul Masters outside, you here no longer need to search for the soul beast that suits you. You only need to think about the mental abilities you want. Why do I say Xiao Qing's martial soul is a good martial soul, because her martial soul can relate to all kinds of elements and can acquire various abilities without needing to pay attention to her martial soul. Can you imagine how Xiao Qing used this martial soul of hers like the Grimoire I explained to you earlier? Doesn't that mean that Xiao Qing also has the ability to attack power? Xiao Qing only needs to add the desired attack ability into her martial soul just like storing her martial soul ability into a soul ring."

"Ah, I see." Urek and the others finally understood.

"By the way, Xiao Qing, Xiao Xun, you can use your mind to draw back your martial souls. If you want to take it out, you just have to think about it again."

"We understand, Master." Lin Qingzhu and Jiang Xun nodded and immediately put it into practice. Their martial souls then disappeared and reentered their bodies. Then they repeat the process until they both get used to it.

"Teacher, what is the level of their soul power?" Mazino asked curiously.

Lin Qingzhu and Jiang Xun looked at Rey with curious gazes because they were also curious.

"Your soul power is the same as yours, Xiao Ur and Xiao Ma. The two of them awakened with tier one soul power."

Not to the sad feeling in their hearts after listening to the strength of the soul they have after they remember Rey's previous words not to be disappointed and sad because surely Rey will always help them. Rey then took out four cards that he had made in his previous spare time which functioned as student identification cards at this school and gave them to the four children who had become students of this school.

"What card is this Master?" Lin Qingzhu asked as he stared at the card that didn't have any writing or graphics on it. The card is plain.

"That is a sign that you are a student at this school. Apart from being a marker, the card also has a storage function with an inside size of 100 square meters. You only need to drip your blood on the card so that the card recognizes its owner and cannot be used by anyone other than you and the teacher" Rey paused and made a small needle, "You use this needle to prick your finger and drip your blood. to that part of the card"

"We understand, Master"

The first person to do so was Mazino. He immediately stabbed his finger and dripped blood onto his card. The card instantly gave off light and changed its appearance. The card that previously had nothing immediately turned into a card with an extraordinary appearance with the background of the card being a picture of a school, a picture of a student, and a biodata consisting of name, age, martial soul, and level of soul power.

"Wow! My card turned cool. Have a look." Mazino excitedly immediately showed the change of his card to his three friends.

The other three nodded and continued the process. After the process was complete, Lin Qingzhu returned the needle to Rey.

"Okay. You are now officially a student at this school. Every month you will get 10 gold soul coins which you can use for your needs. But, you also don't spend it all and keep saving for your future needs." Rey immediately took out 40 gold soul coins from her storage room and handed them to the four children.

The four disciples were surprised because this was the first time they had such a large amount of money. The four of them didn't dare to accept the money and turned their attention to Rey until Lin Qingzhu asked, "Teacher, is it okay for us to accept this money? After all, we have received many things from Master. We don't like receiving this money."

"It does not matter. You just take this money. You will definitely need this money in the future. During school, every month you will get two to three days of vacation that you are free to do whatever you want. Whether you want to relax or go to town shopping, you are free to do whatever you want. If you don't have money, you can't buy anything you want. And also, possibly in the future, there will be many things that you will need. You may think that money is still not very useful for you right now. But in the future, I'm sure you will need this money very much."

The four of them looked back at each other and nodded. From the bottom of their hearts, they have considered Rey as their number one person, even though they will work hard to become very strong so as not to disappoint Rey.

"We understand, Master"

"Good. To save the money, it's just like you pulling back and summoning your martial soul. You just need to put soul power into your card and command your mind to put it in."

Following the instructions given by Rey, the soul coins that floated in front of them were instantly stored into the storage room. As the process progressed, the four of them could also see that the size of the storage room was as large as the room they were going to live in and even more.

"Okay. Then, let's go to the city to buy your various needs. Since this is the first time, all the necessities you want will be purchased by Master using tuition. Later after this, all the needs you want you have to buy using the money you get every month. So when you're in town, you're free to buy whatever you want."

"We understand, Master." The four of them nodded and obeyed.

Rey instantly let go of her senses covering the entire Douluo Continent. No being could sense this because Rey's level of power was too far to reach. Finding Soutou Town. The city was just as Qian Douli described, it was close to where they were. There were actually several Cities that were closer, but they couldn't be called Cities but rather stopovers for the Soul Masters currently in the Great Star Dou Forest.

Rey unleashed her ability to create a portal connected to a location close to the entrance gate of Soutou City. The four children who became official students of the school were very surprised by Rey's release ability and stared in amazement at the different sights that existed within the portal.

"This portal directs us to near the town of Soutou. It's likely that in the future you will often come here because the distance between Soutou Town and our place is quite close. Every holiday comes you can come for a vacation here. Let's go in"

The four of them obediently followed Rey into the portal. After Rey and the four students entered the portal, the portal immediately disappeared as if it had never existed at all.
