Gu Chen carefully observed Gu Yue Na. He saw her long eyelashes fluttering as she winked at him.
The Gu Yue Na in front of him not only had the beauty seen in comics, but also a sense of realism.
"Convert the remaining divine power into soul power for this world, then transform one of your ribs into a weapon." Gu Chen spoke, his body glowing with golden light. After a long time, the golden light slowly faded into his body, transforming into soul power and condensing in his dantian.
At the same time, the power of the Golden Dragon King, after being sealed, was transformed into his martial soul.
Martial Soul Manifestation!
Gu Chen shouted softly, and the illusory figure of the Golden Dragon King appeared behind him, bringing a wave of soul power fluctuations, as well as a faint dragon's might.
Whoosh!
A flash of golden light appeared, radiating from his palm. The light extended and transformed into a long spear.
The spear was sharp at both ends, shining with a dazzling golden color, emitting intense golden light. Faintly, the sound of a dragon's roar echoed from it.
This was the Golden Dragon Spear, formed from one of the ribs of the Golden Dragon King!
Meanwhile, Gu Yue Na, beside him, also completed her divine power transformation, and the figure of the Silver Dragon appeared behind her. She was holding a Silver Dragon Spear.
"When we enter the outside world, I'll call my martial soul the Golden Dragon, and you should call yours the Colorful Dragon," Gu Chen said.
Gu Yue Na nodded. She understood that if she used her true form as the martial soul, even if she could hide from the divine realm's surveillance, the native inhabitants of Douluo Continent would not be able to. If they gained fame on the continent, these inhabitants would inevitably spread the name of their martial souls. If the divine realm discovered their trace, it would greatly harm their plans.
"Master, do you need me to accompany you to the human world?" The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, was still kneeling, but he had transformed into human form.
Gu Chen smiled lightly and said, "No need. With me and Gu Yue Na, do you think we can't protect ourselves? Stay here and guard the Star Dou Forest, waiting for my orders at any time."
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden and silver token, made of soul power, was thrown out and landed in front of Di Tian.
Di Tian memorized its appearance, and before he could say anything, the token dissipated on its own.
"Remember the appearance of this token. If you see a human holding it and coming here, transform into human form and come to the human world to find us," Gu Chen instructed.
"Understood, Master!" Di Tian lowered his head and replied.
"Master, I know of a shortcut that leads quickly to the outside world. I have a friend, a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit who has transformed into a human. Her name is Xiao Wu, and she set out a few days ago via this shortcut. She should have already arrived in the outside world," said the Azure Bull Python, lowering its head.
Gu Chen naturally understood what he meant. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. If we meet her, we will take care of her."
"Thank you, Master!" The Sky Blue Bull Python gave Gu Chen a grateful look.
With everything settled, Gu Chen waved at Gu Yue Na. "Let's go!"
Gu Yue Na nodded and followed closely behind.
Five Days Later
On the Douluo Continent, in the southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire, Fasno Province, in Notting City.
After leaving the Star Dou Forest, Gu Chen and Gu Yue Na changed into a set of new clothes at an inn and then arrived in Notting City.
Don't ask where they got the money for the inn. On the shortcut that the Azure Bull Python pointed out, Gu Chen and his companion had found the bodies of many Soul Masters. After scavenging for a few days, Gu Chen had accumulated nearly 10,000 Gold Soul Coins in his system backpack.
After all, Soul Masters are well-known for their wealth on Douluo Continent.
Originally, Gu Chen planned to go directly to Heaven Dou City, but since he had promised to look after Xiao Wu, he wouldn't break his word.
Moreover, taking advantage of the original story's plot seemed like fun.
The first stop after arriving in Notting City was not Notting Academy but the Spirit Hall branch. To enroll in Notting Academy, a certificate from the Spirit Hall was indispensable.
"Stop! Little ones, this is the Spirit Hall. You can't wander around here!" As soon as Gu Chen and Gu Yue Na arrived at the entrance, they were stopped by the guards in armor.
"Hello, my name is Gu Chen, and this is my sister Gu Yue Na. We are here to obtain a Martial Soul certificate," Gu Chen said politely. After all, they hadn't fully grown yet, so they couldn't be too arrogant.
As for their "sibling" relationship, it was something they had decided on before leaving the Star Dou Forest, to make their actions more convenient.
"I see. You can go in. Go to the first-floor reception hall and look for Master Ma Xiu Nuo. He will help you," the guard stepped aside and nodded at Gu Chen.
The two entered the Spirit Hall smoothly, underwent their assessment, and obtained their n certificates. However, due to their high talent, both Gu Chen and Gu Yue Na were invited by Master Ma Xiu Nuo.
"No need. I just want to cultivate for six years at Notting Academy. After that, I'll consider joining the Spirit Hall. Thank you for the invitation," Gu Chen politely declined. His intention was to join the Spirit Hall, but not just yet.
A bit disappointed, Master Ma Xiu Nuo shifted his gaze to Gu Yue Na.
"I will listen to my brother," Gu Yue Na said softly.
"Alright. The doors of the Spirit Hall will always be open for you. If you change your mind, you can come find me anytime," Master Ma Xiu Nuo sighed and said.
Gu Chen then took Gu Yue Na and left. Notting Academy was very close to the Spirit Hall, just a few steps away from the entrance.
Though they weren't wearing Notting Academy's uniform, after Gu Chen tossed a Gold Soul Coin at the face of the original story's arrogant guard, they were smoothly allowed into the academy.
Although the registration period had already passed, Gu Chen had a lot of money! A bag of Gold Soul Coins was quickly used to smooth things over, and they got two work-study student slots.
The work-study student dormitory was in the seventh dorm, as the number of work-study students was few, so there was only one dormitory for them.
When they opened the dormitory door, they saw a boy and a girl fighting. The girl had her legs wrapped around the boy's neck, her hands on the ground, and with a strong throw, the boy was sent crashing onto the floor.
The boy was probably Tang San, the protagonist of the original story, Gu Chen thought to himself, widening his eyes. Golden light flashed in his eyes.
The girl, on the other hand, kept growing in his vision, and around her, there appeared a faint illusion of the Soft Bone Rabbit.
This girl was Xiao Wu, the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit who had transformed into a human, whom Gu Chen had promised to look after.
"I lost. Can you tell me what technique you just used?" Tang San, conceding defeat, asked softly.
Xiao Wu, like a victorious general, smiled and said, "I call this Soft Technique, using the flexibility and toughness of my body to launch the skill."
Tang San, like handing over a hot potato, gave up the position of "boss" to Xiao Wu.
"Boss? Seems fun. Alright! I'll be your boss from now on. Being a work-study student seems pretty good!" Xiao Wu said excitedly.
At this moment, a boy from further inside the dormitory spoke in a low voice. Gu Chen could tell from the earlier conversation that this boy was Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng quietly said to Xiao Wu, "Boss, two new people just arrived. Let's give them a little warning."
Hearing Wang Sheng, the others in the dormitory noticed Gu Chen and his companion. They were surprised at Gu Chen's handsome appearance.
But when they saw Gu Yue Na, they were stunned by her beauty. Everyone lost their composure, including Tang San, Xiao Wu's future husband!
Xiao Wu, seeing this, pouted and said unhappily, "What's so great about that? Hey, you two newcomers, let's have a spar, it's the dorm's rule!"
Gu Chen shook his head and walked past Xiao Wu, ignoring her angry gaze. "Boring!"
Xiao Wu immediately exploded: "Hey, you guy, you're so rude! Take this!" With that, Xiao Wu activated her martial soul. Two pure white rabbit ears sprouted from her head, and with a stomp, her body shot out like an arrow, charging toward Gu Chen.
Gu Chen sensed the movement behind him, turned around, and golden light flashed in his eyes. A powerful dragon's might immediately descended upon Xiao Wu!
Under the pressure of the dragon's might, Xiao Wu slipped and fell to the ground, her legs trembling, and her rabbit ears drooped down.
She didn't dare to move under Gu Chen's dragon's might.
