You stupid, stupid kid

Douluo Mainland

Eastsea City.

Streets of Eastsea City.

"Hello. I am May Lin, I need your help in somethings. Can you help?"

Fan Lin asked while strolling the empty streets of the Eastsea City.

"Depends on what you want? How may I help you?"

A digitised voice answered Fan Lin's question.

"I want to be a Soul Master. Help me get admitted in Shrek."

Fan Lin said in a low voice.

*Toot*

The other side cut the call after hearing him.

Fan Lin looked at the soul guide in his hands.

"She didn't even answer."

He contacted her again.

"Hello-?"

"It's not possible. Forget about it and do as everyone does. Practice well, get into a good academy and then get a quota and then the qualifications and then finally pass the Shrek's entrance examinations. Now goodbye."

[So many then]

The digitised voice calmly replied and cut the call once again.

Fan Lin contacted her once again.

"At least listen to my other requests."

"... Tell."

A single word after a silence of 20 seconds.

"It's a little complicated. Don't cut the call. So I want to be a Soul Master.-"

"You already told me that. Anything?"

"Listen to my full story. So I want to be a Soul Master because I need to, but there is a small problem."

"What? Don't have soul power? Trash martial soul? Low money? If it's the last one, don't waste my time."

"I said listen to the full story and don't cut the call. So I have innate soul power of lvl 2 and my marital soul is Blue Silver Grass."

"Phu- "

Fan Lin listened to the barely audible snickers of the women's from the soul guide.

'She is laughing at it and with her colleagues at that. What's there to laugh ?'

'Don't let me find out where you are.'

The barely audible snickers went on for another minute as Fan Lin thought of killing them multiple times.

A minute later.

"Just asking. Do you have money?"

The voices calmed down and the digitised voice asked again.

"I have around 97 million Federation coins with me now and if I were to get serious, I can get at around 7 times more in around a month."

"Nice joke. Now if you don't have anything, I am attending a different client."

"It's a truth though."

"Okay. Transfer 10 million to me as proof."

"I will😊, can you just tell me a rough location of where you are. Your current location okay☺️."

Fan Lin said with a smile.

"Why would you need it? Want to meet us in person. Sorry we don't do that."

(To poison the whole place, you dumb women!!)

"Then I am not transferring the 10 millions as well."

"Then I am sorry but I have to decline your request."

"Sun woo gave me your contact details."

"... You should have said that sooner. What do you need? If it is the same as before then let me give you a brief idea why isn't it possible since I don't think you are the type who will stop perstering me with just a single no."

"First of all, let me tell you about the different financial condition of spirit souls of the rest of the world and Shrek."

"A top quality five thousand year old spirit soul was sold at a price of 96 million Federation coins just a few months ago. While a ten thousand year old spirit soul requires not just money but other things of the cultivation world."

"The same top quality five thousand year old spirit soul costs 4500 contribution points in Shrek. That's just one for the benefits provided to the students of Shrek."

"Secondly, even the most basic and free cafeteria food of Shrek is tens of times better than the so called first class food of many of the first class Spirit Master academies."

"And one of the most important but not the last, the teaching facilities of Shrek literally surpasses the whole world. The whole world!!"

"And now let me ask you, how much do you think is the quota of the Shrek's entrance examinations is? Well around 300 years ago, someone tried a bribe of 10 billion Federation coins but they were still rejected."

"And the bribe doesn't even mean much as there is a minimum cultivation requirements of a level 25 Soul Grandmaster of exceptional quality before 15"

"Ohh."

"Yeah this much should be enough to dissuade you right? If you are still having second thoughts on this then let me tell you that Shrek's next entrance examinations will occur in two years and the list of the selected candidates will be sent by this year. One year in advance so that the academy can take a deep background check of all the students. It is also to stop anyone from using favouritism."

The digitised voice slowly explained.

"Any other way."

Fan Lin asked.

"I had an inkling that you would ask that. There are. One get recommend by Spirit Pagoda/Tang Sect or the Federation."

"Ohh."

Fan Lin exclaimed. He now had an idea as he remembered some of the details of the novel that he could use, only if he met the minimum requirements though.

"Just asking but how is your cultivation lvl?"

While Fan Lin was in thought, the digitised voice asked about his cultivation.

She was little interested on knowing exactly what gave the confidence to her client who had the trashiest martial soul with an innate soul power of 2.

"Level 2 Soul Scholar."

Fan Lin answered while trying to remember more of the details of the plot.

His answer made the informer and her colleagues confused. The informer looked at her colleagues who were asking her to continue.

"Hmm? How old are you?"

The informer continued to ask.

"I turned 10 three weeks ago, I think."

Fan Lin once again answered while formulating plans from the details that he remembered.

"... You think? You...You want to join Shrek with your qualifications?"

The informer was stunned for a minute. Too stunned to even think. So were her colleagues.

Their reactions were valid as well.

For the people of the Douluo mainland, Shrek Academy was literally the Heaven of all the Spirit Master academies. It was the place where the best of the best and only the best geniuses can study and graduate from.

To the normal populace who had lived their whole life while hearing about the otherworldly tales of the people that came from the Shrek and had changed the world, Even getting the chance to the Shrek's entrance examinations was a glorious event.

And then there was this May Lin, a kid with his trash Martial soul and a cultivation of level 2, who dared to ask them to get a quota of Shrek's entrance examinations.

The Same Shrek that produced Tang San, the founder of Tang sect, the slayer of the 900,000 year old spirit beast , a handsome dude and one of the person who became a God.

The same Tang sect that produced Huo Yuhao, the founder of Spirit Pagoda and also handsome and one of the person who became a God.

It was the same Shrek that's revered as the Den of Dragons and Phoenixes. The pinnacle of Spirit Masters Academy and the desire of every Spirit Master.

To the people of the Douluo mainland, Shrek Academy was like the K-pop stars to their fan girls. They were mad and crazy about it, to the levels where of felt like they were brainwashed by someone.

Adding to the fact that the informer and her colleagues were people who also wanted to study in Shrek but couldn't due to their qualifications. It felt like an insult to the Glorious Shrek Academy that May Lin even thought of getting into Shrek with his qualifications.

And just as what happens when someone talks bad about K-pop idols in front of their zealous fans, the informer and her colleagues were full of rage.

"Yeah."

Fan Lin's reply became the trigger that destroy the last gate of rational thought that the informer have- that Fan Lin is just a kid.

A new thought came in her mind.

'A normal kid would not have any relations to contact her. May Lin was not normal. There was no moral dilemma in reprimanding him.

The informer stayed silent a she thought of it. Fan Lin had been ignoring the informer as he was preparing his plans and was in the last stages of back ups in case things went downhill.

He had already got what he wanted and now he just needed to use his cursed poisons for one last time at the right time, that is.

On the other hand, Fan Lin's silence felt like a provocative taunt to the already enraged informer.

[Guess what happened?]

"..."

"You stupid kid. How the heck are you still living?"

"Considering that you are still level 2, you didn't go to the Elementary and Intermediate Spirit Master academies right?"

"How can you be so irresponsible? You have soul power and yet you wasted it. Do you know others don't even get the chance to become a Spirit Master but you wasted it?"

"How can you be so stupid? Have you never thought about your future? What about your life? How can you be so irrespective of the boon that you had. You have the chance to become a Soul Grandmaster if you were diligent."

"Level 2 Soul Scholar. Why didn't attend you the free schooling? And if you really didn't attend it then, then why do you want to become a Soul Master now? Why? You waste-"

"Why are you nagging at me?"

The sudden outburst of the informer made no sense to Fan Lin who just completed his last backup plan in his mind.

"Hah, what did you say? The guts of this child!"

His question was met with incoherent mumbling that although Fan Lin understood the words and their meanings, he didn't understand why she said that.

His question was basically adding nitroglycerin to fire.

"You had innate soul power! And yet you never went to school, never raised your cultivation and wasted it however you wanted to? You stupid-"

Just as she was going to give a big lashing to Fan Lin.

Fan Lin's already complex mood that had just gotten better become worser that it was and he decided to heckle.

"And how do you know that I wasted it?"

He SAID in a cold voice. Not asked but said.

"Huh, trying to argue huh? Just the sole reason of your existence is the proof.. You haven't increased your cultivation. Your soul power is still the same. That is a proof of you wasting your life."

"You should be glad that I don't know where you are?"

*Toot*

Fan Lin cut the call and looked at his other hand.

"How does living my life peacefully without interfering in anything a waste?"

"Why does choosing not to kill everyone became a waste? Hmm? I don't know?I am just angry with no way to vent."

Fan Lin, while lost in his thoughts, had already bypassed the point where he had to stop.

Fan Lin came near a reservoir while walking.

He looked at the reservoir.

"Here."

Fan Lin tossed the head of Guang Biao while mumbling," I was going to throw it in a trash can but who cares."

He took a reverse turn and returned from where he came from.

"Now I have to walk more."

"But isn't it unfair that I have to use poison so that I can stop using it forever."

"Ha ha. Hahaha. Haah."

Fan Lin suddenly started to sprint while laughing.

"I am Surya Jayvardhan and I will not heed to you or this world. I hate the humans but not enough to destroy everything."

"I will not bow down to your so called ' you may hate it to your bones punishment.'

"I won't."

Fan Lin retuned to the place where he left from. It was his house that he abandoned a few hours ago.

"I won't run. This time, I will properly end it. End the people after me."

"Hahahahahahahaha hahaha."

In the streets of Eastsea City, a cute tanned kid was madly(cutely) laughing outside a medical shop.

The passersby gave him looks of pity and amusement thinking that he may have either gone mad or he was just too happy to contain his excitement.

And soon people ignored him and went on with theirs lives.

.....

At some place.

"Huh, he dared cut my call. How dare that kid? How dared he?"

And angry informer with outrage in her blood 'gently' threw her soul guide at the wall.

.....

Coochie coochie.

Don't know why I wrote this.

Your Author here.

How do you like this?

Boring? Well the constant information will bore you but wait till 15 chapters. I have written till just that.

The next chapter is the final Chapter of the first Arc/volume, whatever you call it.

Ahh, you will understand when you read it.

Now onto filler things.

You might have noticed that I have changed some words. If you haven't, what Drugs are you on? Stop it🧐😼

So,

Douluo Continent - Douluo Mainland

Broker - Informer. [Just checked and found that both could denote different things]

Soul Master academies - Spirit Master academies.

Soul Master - Spirit Master. [Due to different sources having different translations.]

And many more small changes.

Some trivia to add knowledge to your brains about the Douluo World.

Every person has a spirit inside them that they awaken at 6 years of age. The spirit vary from person to person.

Due to the nature of humans, they have graded the spirits into different grades pertaining to their quality, the quality indicator being the Innate soul power.

Now what is soul power?

Every person in the Douluo Mainland has a spirit but only 1 in 1000 has soul power.

Soul power is something that can be trained and is also used as a measure of cultivation.

Like level 32 is called Rank 32 Spirit Elder or Rank 32 Soul Elder.

The concrete rankings are here.

Rank 1 - 10 - Spirit Scholar (Trainee)

Rank 11 - 20 - Spirit Master (1 Spirit Ring)(Rank 1 Spirit Master)

Rank 21 - 30 : Spirit Grand master (2 Spirit Rings)(Rank 2 Spirit Master)

Rank 31 - 40 : Spirit Elder (Expert) (3 Spirit Rings)(Rank 3 Spirit Master)

Rank 41 - 50 : Spirit Ancestor (4 Spirit Rings)(Rank 4 Spirit Master)

Rank 51 - 60 : Spirit King (5 Spirit Rings)(Rank 5 Spirit Master)

Rank 61 - 70 : Spirit Emperor (6 Spirit Rings)(Rank 6 Spirit Master)

Rank 71 - 80 : Spirit Sage (Saint) (7 Spirit Rings) (Rank 7 Spirit Master)

Let's stop it here.

What is Innate soul power?

Innate Soul power is basically the cultivation potential of a person. The higher it is, the higher the potential. The lower it is, the greater the disappointment. Also it's most of the times random numbers that dictate your life. Like the bank balance that everyone have.

The lowest being 0 and the highest being 10.

Unlike the soul power though, Innate Soul power is something that the people of Douluo Mainland are born with and it can't be changed [ before the coming of Tang sect.]

What are Spirit rings?

What are Spirit beasts?

Why does the MC have so many emotion changes?

How does the MC looks like?

And many more.

Well, I will answer later as these contains spoilers.

...

Just as an added note, I have no I'll feelings against k-pop, I just wrote it as that was the most unreasonable public outrage that I once faced.

Once again I tell you that I have no ill feelings or bad thoughts about K-pop or the people who take parts in it.

I just don't care about them. Don't watch them and neither do I stan them. I also don't hate them.

Well in the most unoffending way that I can put. I literally don't care if anything changes in that industry. I don't watch it and it is becoming repeating so get my point.

Don't just suddenly outrage like those stupid people who tore my words apart and thought that they are defending the honour of your stans.

I, in my whole consciousness, am trying to demean them or make any hate posts against them.

Just because I don't watch them and don't know their name doesn't mean that I am spreading negative comments about them without knowing about them, I don't care about watching them as I never spread any hate comments or negative comments about them.

And the fact that I have to write all this just to clear it feels weird.

What a weird society we live in.

And lastly I May Lin was the fake name that Fan Lin chose to introduce himself to Yun woo.

Yun woo is the female informer.

Sun woo is the male one.

They have no relation to each other except for being informers and brokers.

The mystery of Guang Biao's head will be mentioned later on. In just a few lines though.

And with that at last:

Gratzia en mori.
