___________________________________
When inquiring, Xie Yue learned that there were still five months until the start of elementary schools throughout the continent. Not all six-year-old children like him had awakened yet. Spirit Hall deacons had only just begun their awakening routine for this year. It would take another three months to finish their free awakenings, and then two more months for the schools to start.
Xie Yue and Hu Liena had awakened earlier due to Bai Wu. This was a good thing. With their innate soul power level 9 cultivation talent, they would reach level 10 in just two months. He would also need to obtain a spirit ring at that time. Even if he delayed acquiring a spirit ring for another three months, he couldn't postpone it much longer. Otherwise, it would hinder his growth. So he had to find a reliable backer or join a good school that would help him hunt for a yellow spirit ring.
"From Balak City to Nuoding City is only a three-day journey. After all, Fasinuo Province is the northern border of the Balak Kingdom."
Balak Kingdom had two major cities: Balak City and Soto City, where Shrek Academy was located. To the southeast of Balak Kingdom was the Star Dou Forest. The distance from Soto City to the Star Dou Forest was only 500 kilometers since Soto City was also located in the southeast direction of Balak Kingdom.
"If I really can't join any good academy when I reach Heaven Dou City, I can only return to Fasinuo Province and go to Yu Xiaogang."
"Making him accept me as a disciple is quite easy. I can just say I have innate full soul power after reaching level 10. Who can prove that I'm lying? Hehe."
"From Yu Xiaogang, I can get a storage soul tool and enough knowledge. Even if he is only a fake master who likes stealing knowledge, his data is still true. After all, most of it is stolen from Spirit Hall and the BLTD family."
"And he also has a top-level soul power cultivation technique. If I go to him, I can fulfill my current needs. But still, it's not the optimal way... Getting close to Dugu Yan is the most important. So I have to act according to the changes."
While cultivating, Xie Yue thought about what to do next.
After six or seven hours of cultivation, Xie Yue had dinner with Nana and slept while hugging her.
The next day morning... They got dressed neatly and left the hotel, each wearing a black hooded cloak. Xie Yue knew the importance of being anonymous.
"Nana... Let's find a comfortable carriage. We may have to travel for more than 15 days to reach our destination. At that place, brother will find a good home for the two of us," Xie Yue said to her, holding her hand and walking.
"Mmm~ Nana will listen to her brother," Nana said to him. In her eyes, there was hope and expectation. She believed her brother more than anything. In her mind, her brother could find a solution for every problem they faced. She just had to follow his words and protect his safety. That was her only duty. (Xie Yue had taught her very well over the span of six years.)
'If she becomes rebellious one day or becomes a problem for me, I can just kill her simply,'Xie Yue thought cruelly. In his heart, there was no place for emotions. What he cared about most was whether a person was useful to him or not.
They kept walking for a while before they found the carriage park.
For soul masters who had soul power, running for an hour continuously wasn't a problem. So even though they were still kids, their physiques were stronger than normal adults.
Xie Yue found a reliable-looking and old driver among the many drivers. After that, he asked if he could take them to Heaven Dou City.
"Yes, young lord. But it will cost you three gold coins," the driver said, looking at the hooded Xie Yue. Through Xie Yue's small height and sweet little voice, the driver knew they were just two harmless kids. So he didn't mind them wearing cloaks.
"Mmm~ then grandpa. Please take us to Heaven Dou City," Xie Yue accepted it after thinking about it... A comfortable carriage would indeed cost more than a normal carriage.
They got on the carriage and left Balak City.

Somewhere in the Heaven Dou Empire, in one of the rural villages.
A middle-aged man and a beautiful-looking lady were running nervously.
In the middle-aged man's right hand, there was a two-meter-long hammer. Around him, eight soul rings were circling: two yellow, two purple, and four black.
And that gorgeous lady was dressed in blue. In her hand, there was a newborn child.
"Hao... we have to leave this place faster. That Title Douluo you injured will surely bring back more reinforcements," the good-looking lady said to the middle-aged man. Still running nervously, she looked back again and again to make sure if anyone was coming.
"Ah Yin... Believe me. I will definitely take you and our child safely out of this place. I will never let anything happen to you. I will protect you with my life. It's my promise," the middle-aged man reassured the lady, promising with firm-looking eyes.
"Hao~ I believe you," hearing that man's words, the lady looked at him affectionately and said.
(A: How can this silly woman believe his words easily? Sigh... Love-minded indeed.)
These two people were Tang Hao and Ah Yin. And that just-born child was the "Great Thief Tang San." He had already come to this world successfully.
