The next morning, the carriage successfully arrived at Nuoding City. After getting off the carriage, Lin Manshan decided to go directly to the Spirit Hall to be identified as a spirit master, bidding farewell to the dean and leaving.
On the other hand, Yu Xiaogang master and disciple followed the dean back to the academy, and just as he walked through the school gates, Yu Xiaogang turned his head towards Tang San and said with a doting expression, "Xiao San, you go back to the dormitory on your own first, and make your own arrangements for this afternoon."
When Tang San bowed and left, Yu Xiaogang looked at the dean again, "Regarding that boy Ah Man, what do you think?"

Inside the Spirit Hall, Lin Manshan once again found Matthew Nuo. As soon as he entered, when he saw that it was Lin Manshan, Matthew Nuo immediately brightened up, "Ah Man? You finished hunting spirit beast?"
For this child in front of him, who came from a civilian background and had a difficult life, but was still able to maintain his innocence and was humble and courteous, he had a very good impression of him and had often worried about him in the past two days.
Lin Manshan also felt the concern of Matthew Nuo, he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart, he walked up and nodded his head with a smile, "Well, thanks to meeting a team of intermediate academy seniors who happened to be short of token, I hunted with their help."
"Good, good," Matthew Nuo smiled and stood up, smoothly picking up the crystal ball from the desktop, walking small steps to Lin Manshan's body, with a kind face, "Come on, Ah Man, test your spirit power first."
"Hmm." Lin Manshan nodded, reached out and placed his hand on the crystal ball, slowly injecting his spirit power. A faint yellow light flashed up and was clearly visible.
"This… this is. heavens! Surprisingly, it is level 13 spirit power." Matthew Nuo's eyes instantly widened in disbelief as he hurriedly inquired, "Ah Man, can you tell me what kind of spirit beast you've hunted?"
"It's a One-Horned Beetle with four hundred years of cultivation, the one I hunted should be a mutated variety with a golden shell." Lin Manshan replied truthfully.
"Mutated One-Horned Beetle! No wonder, no wonder." Matthew Nuo was shocked, then smiled in relief, "Ah Man, this time you've met a benefactor, and your luck is not bad either. According to the records of the Spirit Hall, the Golden Armoured Beetle is a spirit beast that excels in strength and defence, its quality is extremely high, and there aren't many of them in that Spirit Forest in total. It's very good that you actually managed to encounter the very best mutated breed in there."
"Hehehe, thanks to those seniors." Lin Manshan smiled, then added, "However, Grandpa Matthew Nuo, after absorbing the spirit ring, something seems to have gone wrong with my martial soul. Not only I did not retain my spirit ring, I didn't even generate a spirit skill, and my martial soul's appearance has also changed."
"There's even such a thing?" Matthew Nuo was instantly confused and quickly said, "Ah Man, summon your martial soul out."
"Okay." Lin Manshan nodded and reached out to summon his martial soul, and a great sword appeared amidst the lingering green light.
"???" Matthew Nuo instantly looked dumbfounded.
"This change is too big, isn't it?" With an astonished look on his face, he carefully examined it, his brows gradually frowning, "Indeed there is no spirit ring, this is the first time I've seen this situation."
"Grandpa Matthew Nuo, then can I still be certified as a spirit master?" Lin Manshan retracted his martial soul and couldn't help but ask.
"Having a martial soul, being able to absorb a spirit ring, and having your spirit power really increased, of course, you can certify as a spirit master."
Matthew Nuo nodded, then sighed, "However, Ah Man, a martial soul that can't generate spirit skill, I'm afraid that it will have a great impact on your battle performance in the future."
Not having a spirit ring is fine, without a spirit skill, wouldn't it be that you could only get close and cut down flat?
"It's fine, as long as my martial soul can continue to help me cultivate." Lin Manshan smiled and said indifferently.
"Haha, Ah Man, you have a good mentality. Hearing you say that makes me feel relieved." Matthew Nuo also revealed a smile, then encouraged, "Ah Man, I've heard that powerful spirit masters don't need spirit skills to defeat opponents who are below their realm. As long as you cultivate diligently, I believe that you can also have a chance to become a powerful spirit master in the future and protect your loved ones. Ah Man, I believe you can do it."
"Hmm, I will continue to work hard." Lin Manshan said with a serious expression.
"That's good!" The thing that people are most afraid of is losing their ideals and motivation. Looking at Lin Manshan's fighting spirit, Matthew Nuo was also relieved in his heart, with the satisfaction of doing a great deed and getting an affirmative response, he smiled, "Alright, Ah Man, your advancement assessment is considered to be over. Congratulations, from today onwards, you are an honourable spirit master of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Wait a moment, I'll make you a customised badge." After saying that, he turned around and went back behind the desk, pulling out a round badge as well as an unknown machine from the drawer, and after a bout of tinkering, he put the badge in and pressed it heavily, then took out the badge and walked towards Lin Manshan.
"Here, Ah Man, this is your unique badge. Every month in the future, you can take this badge and come to the Spirit Hall to receive your allowance, the allowance for a Spirit Master is 1 Gold Soul Coin per month and 10 for a Spirit Grand Master. Also, regarding the situation of your martial soul, I will report it, and if there is a similar record kept in the higher spirit hall branch and a corresponding solution passed down, I will let you know when you come next time."
"Also, Ah Man, this situation with your current martial soul. When you graduate from the Nuoding City Primary Spirit Master Academy, to be honest, I don't think you'll be able to enter the Intermediate Spirit Master Academy easily." Not to mention other academies, it's unknown whether or not the Spirit Hall Academy will accept him, without spirit skills, how can they train him? There was no precedent before. Matthew Nuo secretly sighed and continued, "Ah Man, in the future, if you really don't have a place to go, why not join the Spirit Hall and be a guard here? It's considered a stable job, and there's absolutely no problem supporting your family."
"Thank you, Grandpa Matthew." Lin Manshan received the badge and politely said, "However, I'm afraid I can't join the Spirit Hall as a guard for my livelihood, I became an apprentice at the blacksmith workshop in the city two years ago. If I really can't see a better future, I might go back to the village to become a blacksmith, the village is short of blacksmiths right now."
Two years ago, at that time Lin Manshan was only six years old, at such a young age, he knew how to work and save money, he is quite a hard-working child... Matthew Nuo smiled and nodded, "Being able to help the villagers to make farm tools, and also sheltering the village, being a blacksmith is not bad at all."
"Hehe." Lin Manshan smiled, then bowed slightly, "Grandpa Matthew, then I'll go back to the academy first."
"Well, go ahead." Matthew Nuo nodded, pulled out a gold soul coin from his pocket and handed it to Lin Manshan.
"Bye Grandpa Matthew." Lin Manshan took it and slightly saluted before turning to leave, gently closing the door to the room.
"Grandpa Matthew?..."
Listening to the sound of footsteps moving away, Matthew Nuo couldn't help but reveal a smile, for a child, changing the address from Deacon to Grandpa. This was undoubtedly expressing closeness and recognition, "What a kind and simple child."
Straightening his chest, he turned around and returned to his seat.
***
The entrance to the Nuoding Academy.
As soon as he approached, Lin Manshan was called by the doorman.
"Student Lin Manshan!"
When Lin Manshan approached, the doorman politely said, "I received a notice to tell you to go to the dean's office."
"The dean called me? Is there something wrong?" Lin Manshan was also an old acquaintance of the doorman in front of him. On the first day he came to the academy, the one who obstructed Old Jack was this one.
"I don't know." The doorman shook his head.
"Director Su came to me just now and told me that as soon as he sees you return, I should inform you to go to the dean's office."
"Okay, thanks for the trouble." Lin Manshan nodded.
Immediately, he walked towards the faculty building.
