Chapter 9 Preparing to Set off for the Soul Hunting Forest
"Huh? Why?"

Li Xiang didn't understand what Lu Nan said. What did it mean that it was rarer than innate full soul power?
“Nothing!” Lu Nan didn’t want to spread the news that Xiao Wu was a hundred thousand year old soul beast transformed into a human and started practicing again, which would cause trouble for himself.

"What? You're leaving your words halfway." Li Xiang glanced at Lu Nan with some displeasure, complaining in his heart, but did not continue to ask.

Most of the people in Dormitory 6 showed great curiosity towards Xiao Wu, the new part-time student. However, before they could get close to Xiao Wu, the opening ceremony began, so everyone had to give up temporarily.

The boring opening ceremony lasted a long time before it ended, and then the class schedule was announced.

After the opening ceremony, Lu Nan did not go around Xiao Wu out of curiosity like the others, but went to look at the class list on the bulletin board.

The first grade was divided into three classes, and Lu Nan saw Tang San's name at a glance.

Class 1: Tang San, Xiao Wu, Chen Mufeng, Wang Lingjun, Lu Nan, Zhao Xinxi, Li Xiang, Yang Keying, Liang Hansheng, Yi Yuxi.

"Are all the talented people put into Class 1? It seems the unspoken rules of class division also exist in the other world."

Lu Nan already knew yesterday that the two people with the highest innate soul power in their dormitory six were Chen Mufeng and Wang Lingjun, both at level 3.

The top five students in Class 1 all had the highest innate soul power among the freshmen he knew, which meant that this class division was obviously a deliberate arrangement.

After looking at the class schedule and the corresponding classrooms, Lu Nan left Notting College.

Classes officially start tomorrow, so there is nothing to do today except the opening ceremony just now.

In the remaining free time, Lu Nan planned to buy some things in Notting City and prepare to go to the Soul Hunting Forest the day after tomorrow.

Lu Nan first went to buy a set of black robes to make it easier for him to enter the Soul Hunting Forest the day after tomorrow night.

It was a pity that there was no black robe that suited him. After all, he was too young now. Black robes were usually for adults. Lu Nan had no choice but to buy it even if it didn't fit him. At worst, he could use his surgery fruit ability to cut it and then put it on.

After that, we have to contact the carriage that will go to the Soul Hunting Forest the day after tomorrow. The Soul Hunting Forest is about four hundred miles away from Notting City. It is impossible to walk there as it is too far.

It is not difficult to find a carriage to the Soul Hunting Forest. After all, there is a market outside the gate of the Soul Hunting Forest, and many people travel back and forth between Notting City and the Soul Hunting Forest every day.

As long as there is money, the driver won't say anything even if a six-year-old child like Lu Nan wants to go to the Soul Hunting Forest.

The fare to the Soul Hunting Forest is 5 Silver Soul Coins. (The currency system will be explained later in this chapter)
Finally, after preparing some dry food and water, Lu Nan returned to the college.

The next day was also the first day of classes for first-year students.

Class 1 is on the first floor of the teaching building, and first-grade classes also have classes on the first floor.

There are exactly ten students in Lu Nan's class, which is relatively small, so the whole classroom looks quite spacious.

There was a podium in front of the classroom, three rows of tables and chairs in the middle, five in each row, and nothing else.

Lu Nan chose the first seat on the left in the third row and sat down, and the seat to his right was Li Xiang.

In front of him, the first seat on the left in the second row, is Chen Mufeng.

Sitting on the right side of Chen Mufeng was a thin, quiet-looking boy. From Li Xiang's introduction, Lu Nan also learned that he was one of the three people in their dormitory with an innate soul power of 3, Wang Lingjun.

The four girls in class 1 all sat in the first row. Not long after everyone found their seats, a tall, thin teacher who looked to be in his thirties entered the classroom carrying a dozen books.

"Hello, classmates! My name is Cen Yueguang. I will be teaching you all for the next year. Except for Tang San who has asked for leave, everyone is here, right?"

After the teacher introduced himself, he glanced at the students below. Everyone was present, and the next step was to distribute textbooks.

The contents of the textbooks are also the most basic, mainly introducing soul power, martial soul, and soul rings.

"Xiao Wu, you and Tang San live in the same dormitory. When you come up to get your textbooks, help Tang San get one too."

"Yes, Teacher Cen!" Xiao Wu immediately raised her hand and replied.

"Now come up in order to get your textbooks."

After everyone got the textbooks, the teacher began to explain the most basic knowledge points about soul power.

"It's so boring. Cultural studies are meaningless. Everyone knows this basic knowledge!"

The teacher had just started the lecture when Lu Nan saw Li Xiang next to him lying on the table and muttering to himself.

Seeing this, Lu Nan couldn't help but want to complain about Li Xiang. Children from city families like Li Xiang had learned this knowledge since childhood, so they naturally found it boring.

But not all students are from wealthy families and can be exposed to knowledge about soul masters from an early age.

Lu Nan didn't think the contents of the textbook were boring. After all, he had not studied these things systematically.

Because he had been reading the whole day, Lu Nan felt that the day passed in a flash, and soon it was time to set out for the Soul Hunting Forest.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Lu Nan packed up his things and left Notting College.

He didn't ask for leave because he couldn't think of any good reason and was too lazy to do so, so he just skipped class.

At this time, the gate of Notting College was not open, but with the ability of Lu Nan's surgery fruit, he instantly created a room space, exchanged his position with a fallen leaf outside the wall, and easily left the college.

Because it was still dark and the location Lu Nan found was in a more remote corner of the academy, no one would notice this scene.

When he arrived at the gate of Nottingham, the sky was just beginning to brighten. After waiting for a while, the carriage he had booked arrived, and then he had to hurry on his journey.

((The currency system of Douluo Continent is a bit strange. For the sake of accuracy, I went to look for the original work.

It was introduced in Chapter 34 of the original book that one gold soul coin is equal to ten silver soul coins, which is equal to one hundred bronze soul coins.

One gold soul coin is enough to support an ordinary family of three for several months, and is also equivalent to Tang San’s income from working at Notting College for three years.

This is very strange, because in Chapter 26 of the original novel, it says that Tang San worked as a part-time student at Notting College, earning ten copper soul coins a day, which means three hundred copper soul coins a month, which is equivalent to three gold soul coins.

But Chapter 34 says that Tang San needs to work at Notting College for three years to earn one gold soul coin. Isn't this contradictory?

This really makes me at a loss for words! This currency system doesn't make sense, and I can only continue to use one gold soul coin equal to ten silver soul coins, which equals one hundred bronze soul coins.

But there will be some adjustments to the prices of various things and the wages of jobs.)
