After getting rid of many enthusiastic villagers, Wang Li finally returned to his home. He had only awakened his martial soul and had not yet obtained a soul ring.

He let out a long sigh. Although it was not so absolute, he was now an orphan with no one to rely on, and instantly became a hot commodity in the eyes of everyone.

After returning home and picking up the weeding tools, Wang Li went out again and walked towards the field.

Even if the martial soul has been awakened, the land still needs to be cultivated.

Wang Li looked thoughtful, thinking:

There are still three months left. Once I arrive at Nottingham College, I will definitely not have to farm anymore. Work-study students don't have to pay tuition, but I still have to find a way to pay for food.

All the grain harvested this year, which was left after paying taxes, was sold. As for the family's fields, those that could be sold were sold, and those that could not be sold were rented out.

As long as I officially become a soul master and can receive subsidies from the Spirit Hall, I will be able to get rid of this difficult situation.

…

Three months is neither long nor short, and it passed quickly.

Wang Li counted all his savings, mainly copper soul coins, mixed with some silver soul coins. After counting, he said:

"Twenty-five Silver Soul Coins and two hundred and thirty-four Bronze Soul Coins, which translates to twenty-seven Silver Soul Coins and thirty-four Bronze Soul Coins. These should be enough for me to survive for a while."

The currency of Douluo World, one gold soul coin, can be exchanged for one hundred silver soul coins, and can be exchanged for ten thousand bronze soul coins.

(PS: In the original book, 1 gold soul coin = 10 silver soul coins = 100 bronze soul coins. The author was definitely careless and either did not calculate it clearly or did not write it clearly. Otherwise, in the academy, sweeping the land for one day is ten bronze soul coins, and sweeping the land ten times is one gold soul coin.)

Wang Li sold the grain and, under the auspices of the village chief Wang Ping, rented his family's land to other villagers at a low price. If possible, Wang Li actually wanted to raise the price a bit, but with the economic level of their village, no one would rent if the price was too high.

As it is now, the price is not high, but it is a long-term benefit. Wang Li is already very satisfied.

At this time, a voice came from outside the house:

"Xiao Li, are you at home?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Li put away the two money bags in front of him, one large and one small, and then ran to open the door. He saw not only Wang Ping but also some villagers. He greeted them and said,

"Grandpa Village Chief, and all the uncles and aunts, why are you all here? Come in and sit down. I'll pour you some water!"

Wang Ping knew that there were too many of them and Wang Li's room could not accommodate them, so he did not go in, but smiled and said:

"Xiao Li, we won't go in. You're going into the city with me tomorrow, and you must have a lot of things to pack. You have to bring everything you need. Once you enter Notting College, we civilians won't be able to go in to see you."

After that, Wang Ping took out a bag and handed it to Wang Li solemnly, saying,

"The city is not like our country. You won't be able to come back for a year or two. Take this money as a token of our appreciation. Practice hard, study hard, and become a soul master in the future!"

Wang Li took it as if it were a treasure. He didn't know how much money was in it, but seeing the expectant faces of Wang Ping and the other villagers, he thanked them loudly:

"Thank you, village chief, and thank you, uncles and aunts. I will definitely become a powerful spirit master!"

It feels like a backward village suddenly has a college student, who then goes to the city to study with the expectations of the whole village.

Wang Li did not reject this kindness. When he became stronger, it would be easy for him to give back to the village.

Wang Ping was delighted when he heard this. It was the tragedy of a small place. After so many years, a man with soul power, Wang Li, finally appeared. He could only place all his hopes on him. He took a deep breath and said repeatedly:

"Good boy, good boy..."

In addition to Wang Ping, a group of villagers also enthusiastically brought some dry food and fruits to Wang Li. Wang Li accepted them all with a smile.

Wang Li's smile became a little stiff until Wang Ping and the other villagers were sent away. He returned to the house, sorted out the dry food and fruits, and then opened the money bag Wang Ping had given him. He counted the money carefully and found that there were a total of thirty Silver Soul Coins.

Wang Li's eyes were unusually bright. It seemed that after he went to Notting College, he would not only be able to eat his fill, but he could even eat well, at least he could get a chicken drumstick.

All the money was quickly put away. Just as Wang Ping said, Wang Li really needed to pack a lot of things, two sets of clothes, shoes and socks, bedding, dry food... He really felt like a college student.

The next day!

Wang Li got up before dawn. Instead of cooking, he boiled a pot of hot water and ate some dry food to fill his stomach.

Then he took his bags, walked out the door, looked back at the place where he had lived for six years, then closed the door and resolutely embarked on his path as a soul master.

Martial souls, soul rings, soul bones...Douluo Continent is really something to look forward to.

At the entrance of the village, Wang Ping and his son Wang Shun were already waiting there, and there was an ox cart next to them.

Wang Li walked over quickly and called out,

"Grandpa Village Chief, Uncle Wang Shun."

Wang Ping's old face was full of smiles. He looked at Wang Li and quickly greeted him:

"Xiao Li is here, hurry up and get in the car, we have to leave early, we can't delay your enrollment."

Wang Ping's son, the tall and strong Wang Shun, strode over to help Wang Li carry the luggage into the car. His eyes were full of envy. After all, Wang Li might be the only soul master in their village in the future.

Everything was ready. Wang Ping and Wang Li sat on the ox cart, and Wang Shun drove the cart and set off.

Along the way, Wang Ping was loudly telling Wang Li what he knew about soul masters. Some of them were true stories, some were legends, and his words were full of yearning for the world of soul masters.

In Douluo Continent, soul masters are equivalent to aristocrats. Aristocrats are born, but soul masters give common people hope, although this hope is very slim.

This shows the special status of soul masters.

When they arrived outside the city of Nottingham, Wang Shun guarded the ox cart while Wang Ping took Wang Li into the city. After asking around a bit, they found the location of Nottingham College.

Arriving at Notting College, it was a very large building. The gate alone was twenty meters long and four meters high, and was made of fine iron.

At this moment, right in front of the gate, there were also an old man and a young boy who seemed to want to go in and register, but were stopped by the doorman.
