In the days after school started, Gu Han had been going back and forth between two places—eating and then running to the river to practice. Meanwhile, the nameless book inexplicably added a method for practicing sword moves.
Although it wasn't very profound, it was perfectly suited for Gu Han's current situation. In the early morning by the stream, Gu Han held the Xuanshuang Sword in his hand, practicing stabs, chops, taps, picks, collapses, cuts, slashes, wipes, cuts, hangs, blocks, and presses. He integrated various basic sword moves with a set of special footwork, sweating profusely.
This set of sword moves was much more effective than running. It seemed tailor-made, and within just a few days, Gu Han had mastered it.
"Xiao Han, stop practicing and take a rest. We should go to Shuofeng City," Gu Lao shouted from a distance.
"Got it, Grandpa."
Gu Han responded, put away his sword, and trotted back.
After eating and packing up, Gu Han and Gu Lao walked toward the city.
Shuofeng City is located on the northern border of the Tiandou Empire, adjacent to the Far North. The soul masters here are mostly water and ice attributes, so Lu Rentao was not overly surprised when Gu Han awakened with these attributes.
Although this city is a small city on the border, the city wall is tall and majestic. However, the city is not as prosperous as Gu Han imagined, even less so than Notting City.
After all, it is a bitterly cold place in the north and a small city, which is normal.
However, Gu Han discovered that his jade pendant is actually a soul guide, with a full 20 cubic meters of space inside.
The Shuofeng City Wuhun Branch Hall is located in the center of the east city. The architecture resembles a Western fantasy castle. Although it is only a branch hall, it is still magnificent.
The two went up the stairs and were stopped by two golden-armored soldiers.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
Seeing this, Gu Lao stepped forward and presented the Wuhun certificate that Lu Rentao had issued a few days ago.
"Sir, we are here to report to the Spirit Hall."
One of the soldiers took a look, returned the credentials, and made way for the two to enter.
Upon entering the gate, there was a wide hall. The interior decoration was elegant with a modern feel. This decor made Gu Han muse to himself: "The technology tree of this Douluo Continent is weird."
In the hall, a young man approached with an old man in white.
The young man was Lu Rentao, who had awakened Gu Han's spirit before, and he was a level 25 Great Spirit Master.
"You are here." Lu Rentao and the old man approached and introduced him, "This is the bishop of our branch hall, Master Markel."
"Master Markel, this child is Gu Han, a genius with innate soul power level 5."
Seeing Master Markel looking at him, Gu Han politely greeted him, "Hello, Master Markel, I am Gu Han."
"Well, that's right, you will be a member of the Shuofeng City Spirit Hall from now on. If you have any questions in the future, just tell me and Xiao Tao."
Master Markel's eyes flashed with admiration, and he nodded with satisfaction.
"Then I will trouble you two masters."
Old Gu bowed slightly, then turned around and gave Gu Han a few more words before leaving alone.
"Child, your name is Gu Han, right?"
Master Markel looked at Gu Han's spirit credentials and confirmed them again.
"Yes."
"Well, I'll call you Xiaohan from now on."
"Master, feel free."
"Haha, don't be so reserved. If you don't mind, just call me Grandpa Markel."
Markel laughed and summoned his four spirit rings: white, yellow, yellow, and purple. He was actually a four-ring spirit master, which was not weak for a bishop in the Wuhun branch hall.
"Grandpa Markel."
Gu Han didn't mind. The other party did look quite old, and he was also the bishop here. Although he might not be personally taken care of by the other party if he called him grandpa, at least he wouldn't be bullied.
When you are out, you must learn to restrain your edge, especially when facing people much stronger than you.
He did this not because he feared trouble, but because he didn't want to deliberately cause it. If someone really provoked him, he would not have lived in vain in his two lives.
Bishop Markel was very satisfied with Gu Han's tactfulness and didn't mind giving Gu Han a little leniency. He turned to Lu Rentao and gave him instructions.
"Xiao Tao, take Xiao Han to report to Shuofeng City Junior Soul Master Academy tomorrow. Prepare whatever Xiao Han needs. Come back and ask me to reimburse you for the money you spent."
"Okay."
Lu Rentao nodded, his mind full of thoughts, thinking about using this opportunity to buy his goddess some small gifts or something, so he gladly accepted it.
The next day, Lu Rentao took Gu Han to the store outside to buy some decent clothes, as well as bedding and other daily necessities, which were much better than those Gu Han brought with him, and more comprehensive.
Shuofeng Junior Soul Master Academy is the largest academy in Shuofeng City. The principal of this school is a Soul Master, and his strength is considered formidable in this small city.
Because of the Wuhun Hall, Gu Han's enrollment was very smooth, and he also had his own single dormitory.
Compared with work-study students, the conditions are significantly better.
Moreover, before Lu Rentao left, he also left him the exclusive meditation method of the Wuhun Hall, which is better than the general meditation method.
Although Gu Han has the nameless method, it is his secret. He will not refuse the kindness of the other party.
After looking through it, Gu Han put it into the jade pendant without any intention of practicing it.
After Lu Rentao settled Gu Han, he went to buy gifts for his goddess.
But these have nothing to do with Gu Han. After he tidied up the dormitory, he went to the classroom under the guidance of his class teacher.
The class teacher is a middle-aged woman who looks to be in her forties or fifties. Her surname is Qin, and she is a great soul master.
It was already past ten o'clock, and the students were in class.
The class teacher took Gu Han into the classroom. Before entering, Gu Han glanced at the class number, Class One, Grade One.
The arrival of the two naturally attracted the attention of the group of children.
The head teacher clapped her hands and said, "Classmates, there is a new student in our class today. I hope everyone can get along peacefully in the future."
"Come on, introduce yourself."
"Okay." Gu Han nodded, walked up to the podium, wrote his name on the blackboard, turned around, and said politely to everyone, "Hello everyone, my name is Gu Han, martial soul Xuanshuang Sword, please give me more guidance in the future."
Papapapa! ! !
There was a burst of applause from below, and then Director Qin pressed her hands, and the applause subsided. She pointed to the empty seat by the window in the back row of the class and said.
"Student Gu Han, you will sit there from now on."
"Okay."
Gu Han nodded and sat down in his seat.
Next to him was a fat boy in luxurious clothes. Seeing that Gu Han was dressed ordinarily, the other party couldn't help but despise him, but still asked a question with a curious mentality.
"Hey, country bumpkin, what's your innate soul power?"
Gu Han frowned slightly but didn't get angry directly. He just glanced at the other person and said, "It's class time now, and I just introduced myself."
The little fat man curled his lips, muttered "pretending to be a big shot," and ignored him.
Gu Han frowned slightly but didn't get angry in class. He listened carefully to the teacher's lecture on the stage.
"Classmates, today we are going to talk about the classification of martial souls."
"Martial souls are divided into three categories: beast martial souls, weapon martial souls, and plant martial souls. Among them, beast martial souls are mostly strong attack and agility, plant martial souls are mostly control, and weapon martial souls are divided into several types, including strong attack, agility, auxiliary, etc..."
What was taught in class was some basic knowledge about martial souls. Although Gu Han had read a lot of information about this world in his previous life, he still listened to this class carefully.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
"Okay, that's all for today's class. Class dismissed." As the bell rang, the teacher did not stay after class. He closed the teaching materials and quickly left the classroom.
Gu Han packed up his textbooks and planned to go to the school library to look up information.
However, at this moment, several boys blocked his way.
The leader was the little fat boy.
The little fat boy crossed his arms and stared at Gu Han with a condescending look.
"Boy, you are very arrogant."
Gu Han frowned slightly, and his tone was restrained: "Get out of the way!"
"Hahaha, did you hear that? He said let us get out of the way?"
Unexpectedly, the little fat boy and the four or five children behind him laughed loudly. Seeing this, the other students hid far away as if they had seen the plague.
After laughing for a long time, the little fat boy looked at Gu Han, who had been silent all the time, and asked arrogantly with his thumb pointing at his nose.
"Boy, do you know who I am?"
Gu Han looked at the other party, chuckled, and said, "I don't care who you are. If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude."
"Oh, you're welcome." The little fat man raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Then I want to see how rude you are."
As the little fat man's voice fell, several thugs behind the other party began to approach Gu Han with their fists ready.
"Humph!"
Gu Han had no intention of causing trouble in the school, but this did not mean that he was afraid of trouble. Since the other party had already bullied him, he naturally would not think too much.
He immediately mobilized the soul power in his body and punched the little fat man fiercely.
With the footwork in the nameless method, Gu Han's speed was extremely fast. He almost passed several thugs in the blink of an eye and punched the little fat man's face full of flesh.
"Puff!"
The little fat man was knocked to the ground by a punch before he could react.
The little fat boy sat on the ground, stroking his burning fat face, and cursed angrily.
"Damn, you dare to hit me, come on, cripple him."
Seeing this, the other few people hurriedly summoned their own martial spirits, which were mostly ordinary beast martial spirits and wooden sticks.
Several people surrounded him, intending to teach Gu Han a lesson.
Gu Han's eyes turned cold; he summoned the Xuanshuang Sword and performed various basic sword moves that he had mastered.
After all, these guys are just a group of soul warriors who have not yet obtained the first soul ring, and they are not much different from Gu Han.
In addition, Gu Han himself has more systematic combat skills, and his physical fitness is also higher than these children. Although the other party has more people, it only takes a little more effort.
In a few seconds, the group of bullies was beaten up.
Gu Han raised his sword and walked toward the little fat boy.
Seeing this, the other party thought that Gu Han was going to chop him, and hurriedly kicked his legs backward and begged for mercy.
"Big, big brother, please don't, I'm wrong, I admit it, my grandfather is the Lord of Shuofeng City, please don't kill me!!"
Gu Han squatted down, grabbed the little fat man's collar, and stared at him with a cold look: "I don't care who your grandfather is. If you bother me again, don't blame the Spirit Hall for turning against you."
After saying that, Gu Han let go of the little fat man and left the classroom.
To avoid subsequent troubles, Gu Han simply mentioned the Spirit Hall. He didn't have the leisure to play games with a group of little brats.
Besides, if he didn't use his connections when he had them, wouldn't he be foolish?
