My Martial Spirit is My Fiancée

Chapter 7: Spirit of Light

"What's the problem?" Yuan Qin asked. She was only a Spirit Emperor and didn't have the keen perception that Teacher Jin had.

Teacher Jin shook his head, "Nothing, I just feel it's very peculiar."

"Okay," Yuan Qin replied, not dwelling on Teacher Jin's comment.

Peculiar martial Spirits were not uncommon; she had seen quite a few, and even if Teacher Jin mentioned it, it was just a bit more peculiar than usual.

Soon, Zheng Li arrived at the table, slightly out of breath.

He had thought he wouldn't make it in time, but then Xiao Nai suddenly appeared and informed him of some things.

First, Xiao Nai could fight on her own, but she needed Zheng Li's permission to use Spirit skills.

The source of Spirit power was naturally him.

When Xiao Nai fought on her own, luminous particles would form the battle armor on his body, causing his original clothes to be destroyed.

So his black robe was already gone.

It was really... a headache!

This meant that every time he exited the combat state, he would be completely naked!

Completely naked!

However, in the combat state, he felt his body becoming extraordinarily agile, as if he had removed some shackles.

Hmm, it felt like he could ascend.

Xiao Nai told him that this was her ability.

The sensation of becoming agile was not an illusion. Following that, his speed received a substantial boost, enough to barely catch up.

But at the same time, his consumption of Spirit power intensified, and he had very little left by now.

"Young man, you're lucky. If you had come one minute later, we would have left," Teacher Jin said, patting Zheng Li's shoulder and smiling. This almost made Zheng Li stagger and almost fall over, not because he was weak, but because Teacher Jin was really strong.

"I think so too," Zheng Li replied with a slight smile.

"Alright, young man, I won't waste time. First, show me your recommendation letter, then we'll test your Spirit power, and finally, fill out this information form," Teacher Jin said.

"Wait, Teacher, I have a question," Zheng Li said with a slightly embarrassed expression. In his memory, there were two requirements for entering the outer court: not being older than twelve and having a Spirit power level of at least fifteen.

He was embarrassed because his Spirit power was not at the required level; he was only at the peak of the fourteenth level. This was because of his first Spirit ring, which was six hundred years, directly boosting him by four levels.

"What's the question? Go ahead and ask," Teacher Jin replied kindly.

"Is one of the requirements for entering Shrek Academy's Outer Court that your Spirit power must be at least Level 15?" Zheng Li asked.

"Yes," Yuan Qin replied.

"Is it acceptable if my Spirit power is not yet at Level 15?" Zheng Li inquired.

"Hmm?" Teacher Jin furrowed his brows. "Are you saying your Spirit power is not at Level 15? Do you have a recommendation letter?"

"I do," Zheng Li produced the recommendation letter given by the system and handed it over.

Teacher Jin and Yuan Qin exchanged glances, both wearing expressions of doubt. The individuals who wrote recommendation letters were at least at the level of city lords from the three great empires, so they shouldn't make such a small mistake, right?

The recommendation letter provided by the system was valid, and Zheng Li had checked it. It was signed by a city lord from the Star Luo Empire. However, that city lord was said to have died a day before Zheng Li arrived in the Douluo Continent...

But the recommendation letter was definitely valid.

As for proof of Zheng Li's existence, it had been taken care of by the "Douluo World Identity Verification ×1" provided by the system.

It was said that many people had false memories implanted in them.

Of course, the city lord's death wasn't caused by the system; he had genuinely passed away.

How did he die?

The system's answer was: 『Died of old age!』

Zheng Li was left speechless when he heard this answer.

By now, Teacher Jin and Yuan Qin had finished reading the contents of the recommendation letter and understood the reason.

"Ten years old, Level 14 Spirit power..." Teacher Jin muttered to himself, then raised an eyebrow in confusion as he asked, "Young man, since you're only ten years old, wouldn't it be better to come next year for enrollment?"

Indeed, Zheng Li's age would still meet the requirements next year, and in Teacher Jin's view, if Zheng Li enrolled when he was twelve, his Spirit power would have exceeded Level 20!

Zheng Li thought for a moment and replied, "Why wait if I can come earlier?"

This statement left Teacher Jin and Yuan Qin momentarily speechless.

Yuan Qin shook her head and said, "The child has a point, but your Spirit power hasn't reached the required level."

She had no intention of making things difficult for Zheng Li; his talent was even better than hers.

"What if I can reach Level 15 within three days?" Zheng Li asked.

In fact, he didn't need three days; the system told him that he could reach Level 15 simply by practicing the Spirit Manual. It would take a bit longer for his first time, but he planned to practice it after entering Shrek Academy.

Teacher Jin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Young man, are you confident?"

"I am! My current Spirit power is at the peak of Level 14," Zheng Li replied earnestly.

"Oh?" Teacher Jin placed his large hand on Zheng Li's shoulder, and a massive surge of Spirit power entered Zheng Li's body, as if it casually moved around before leaving.

However, in the next moment, Zheng Li's body trembled, and his Spirit power surged, directly breaking through to Level 15.

The sudden influx of Spirit power stimulated by Teacher Jin's massive Spirit power...

Of course, it wasn't that simple; this had everything to do with Zheng Li being on the verge of a breakthrough.

Zheng Li blinked, his face showing gratitude as he said, "Teacher, thank you. You don't need to make it difficult for me anymore. I'm now at Level 15, meeting the requirement."

Both Teacher Jin and Yuan Qin can only stare at the kid in silence.

They felt the fluctuation in Zheng Li's Spirit power.

Because Zheng Li was currently using his martial Spirit, at the moment of his breakthrough, the golden ring on the back of his head emitted ripples of golden light, accompanied by fluctuations in Spirit power.

So it was impossible not to notice!

The breakthrough in Spirit power allowed Zheng Li's remaining Spirit power to immediately recover, and his slightly pale face became rosy.

"Ahem!" Teacher Jin coughed twice and chuckled, "That's a great breakthrough. Shrek Academy gains another young genius, hahaha!"

As a Spirit Saint pinnacle expert, he naturally immediately understood the reason for the breakthrough.

Yuan Qin cast a reproachful look at Teacher Jin.

"Teacher Jin, don't you know that suddenly probing someone's body with Spirit power is very impolite?"

"Hmm?" Teacher Jin was somewhat bewildered.

He had just done a good deed, right? It was a good thing, wasn't it? But why was he being scolded?

"Teacher, it's okay! I want to thank Teacher Jin because of you; I was able to reach Level 15 ahead of time."

Hearing Zheng Li's words, Yuan Qin glanced at Teacher Jin and said, "Teacher Jin, please don't do this in the future."

Afterward, she turned to Zheng Li and said, "Alright, young man, let's fill out the information form."

Zheng Li took the form and the pen handed to him by Yuan Qin and began filling it out.

"Hmm? Martial Spirit?" Zheng Li hesitated. How should he fill this in? "Spirit of Light" was easy, but what about Xiao Nai? Should he write her name too?

Yes, he decided to include both of his martial Spirits.

Was it too revealing? Zheng Li didn't think so.

Given the attention he was receiving from Shrek Academy, combined with his "orphan" status, it was unlikely that his safety would be left unguarded!

In the eyes of the higher-ups at Shrek Academy, an "orphan" also meant that he would likely stay at Shrek Academy in the future, or, in other words, he was more worth cultivating than someone like Dai Huabin with a family background.

After revealing his martial Spirits, he might not get Spirit bones, but his Spirit rings were likely to be protected, and resources would be tilted in his favor.

Without potential and ability, who would care about you?

There were certainly downsides, but overall, the benefits outweighed them!

Hmm... he was overthinking it. Right now, the main issue was Xiao Nai's "name."

After some thought, Zheng Li's eyes brightened.

He filled in the form with the words "Spirit of Light" and "Spirit Heart." After a brief pause, he added a second martial Spirit.

After completing the form, Yuan Qin said, "Go ahead, register at the New Student Teaching Building, get your uniform, and so on."

"Alright, thank you, Teacher." Zheng Li smiled, greeted them, and walked toward the school gate.

Teacher Jin picked up the information form filled out by Zheng Li and looked at the martial Spirit section. He was quite curious about Zheng Li's martial Spirit.

"Spirit of Light?"

After a quick glance, Teacher Jin looked up at Zheng Li's platinum-colored outfit and the peculiar golden ring behind his head, muttering to himself, "It does have a bit of a spirit-like quality."

"Teacher Jin, have you ever seen spirits?" Yuan Qin, though she hadn't seen it, heard him and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Teacher Jin frowned. "I don't think so. Besides, are spirits even real? Even if they are, aren't they considered Spirit beasts?"

Yuan Qin can only stare at her companion like he is a fool.

What do you mean by "I don't think so"?

"Haha, don't worry about these details," Teacher Jin laughed. "In the martial Spirit section, this kid wrote 'Spirit of Light,' but he also wrote 'Spirit Heart' under 'Other.' Did he fill in the wrong section? Let me see what he wrote."

Zheng Li, walking toward the school gate: Just as I expected...

"'Spirit Heart,' 'Second Martial Spirit...'" Teacher Jin and Yuan Qin were both taken aback.

Second martial Spirit?

"Oi! you little guy, come back here!"
