After several days of trekking, Amon arrived at Beidi City.
This was the administrative and economic center of the Beidi Province, as well as the place with the strongest military power.
It was the pride of the Nord people. It was said that in the distant past, before Beidi was conquered by the Heaven Dou Kingdom, this fortress had held back the Heaven Dou army for three years.
Looking at the towering city walls, Yan Jin exclaimed, "Wow! Is this Beidi City? It's even more majestic than Ironheart City!"
"That's only natural," Bi Da'er said with a smile. "I'll take you to Northern Academy to register. It's the enrollment season, so the admission process shouldn't be too troublesome. We just need to follow the normal procedures."
Amon settled the remaining payment with the coachman and walked to Bi Da'er's side, adjusting his monocle. "I hope so."
Under Bi Da'er's guidance, they arrived at the head of the year's office.
"Teacher Rona, I've brought three new students to register," Bi Da'er said, opening the door and walking in without knocking.
"Damn it, you bastard, get out of here!" a round-faced man with brown hair roared.
"Tajis, don't you lock the door when you come in?" Rona said, adjusting her clothes as she crawled out from under the desk.
Bi Da'er looked a little embarrassed. He said apologetically, "Sorry, I disturbed you."
With that, he closed the door, shrugged at Amon, and said cheerfully, "It seems we've come at the wrong time."
"No, you've come at just the right time."
Rona opened the door and dragged Bi Da'er in by the shoulder.
"What were they doing?" Yan Jin asked blankly.
Amon smiled. "Perhaps it was an impulse from the instinct of life."
Tajis walked out with a dark face and said unhappily to Amon, "Are you three the ones who want to enroll?"
"Yes." Amon took out the three outstanding graduate certificates that Shi Guantao had given him and added, "Excuse me, is Teacher Zuo Jianming here? I have a letter from Dean Shi to hand over to him."
"Oh, Mr. Zuo... I'll handle your enrollment procedures first, and then take you to find him later. Rona and Bi Da'er have some things to discuss."
Tajis casually flipped through the graduation certificates, then he was stunned. "Yan Jin, twelve years old, level 28 Soul Grandmaster? Lei Yin, eleven years old, level 22 Soul Grandmaster?"
"And Amon, seventeen years old, level 30 Soul Grandmaster... not bad either, even better talent than that kid Bi Da'er."
In his opinion, Amon was just so-so, and it would be difficult to even qualify for the academy competition, but Yan Jin and Lei Yin might shine in the Soul Master Competition and win glory for the academy.
Although Lei Yin's level was slightly lower, he was still young and could participate in the Soul Master Competition three times with some effort!
Tajis looked at Yan Jin and Lei Yin and said, "Can you show me your souls?"
The two looked at each other and then revealed their souls.
Four yellow rings of light emitted a faint halo, not dazzling, but beautiful and moving.
When he looked at Amon next to him, he was stunned. Three soul rings, yellow, purple, and purple, floated quietly.
Tajis stared at the second purple soul ring and said in disbelief, "How did you do it?"
Amon replied, "It's related to the characteristics of my soul itself... and I absorbed the second soul ring relatively late. I waited until my body had grown for a while before hunting, so it also delayed the progress of my soul power cultivation."
"Is that so..." Tajis stroked his chin. "That's indeed a loss. Deliberately not obtaining soul rings in order to add higher year limits, waiting for the increase in body strength, is undoubtedly a waste of talent."
"Do you want to come to my class? I guarantee I will give you the best guidance." He looked at Yan Jin and Lei Yin, the anger from being disturbed had completely disappeared.
Yan Jin and Lei Yin looked at Amon.
Tajis added to Amon, "You can come too."
Just an afterthought again... Amon was used to it.
It was the same when Ma Wen invested in them in the past. The main target was Yan Jin, and he was just an accessory.
He was able to get to where he is now so smoothly thanks to Yan Jin. She was so excellent that people were always showing her kindness, and Amon shared a lot of resources from the side.
Of course, Yan Jin was also able to fully exert her talent under Amon's guidance. The two of them achieved each other.
"Enough, Tajis, you bastard, don't fight with me for people. They were brought by Bi Da'er, so of course they should be under my care," Rona's voice came.
Tajis smiled sheepishly. "Okay, it seems it can't be done."
While he was handling the enrollment procedures for Amon and the others, a voice interrupted them.
"Wait, these three people can't enroll. Our Beidi Academy won't accept them!" A man with a dignified appearance but a short and fat body walked over and said lightly.
"Head of Instruction, why? Their talents are obviously very good?" Tajis asked in confusion.
"Because they have problems... The one wearing the monocle is an assistant teacher at Icewind Junior Soul Master Academy, not a student. The other two are famous thieves in Frostleaf City. The academy can't accept such scum, it will tarnish the academy's reputation."
"Who are you calling scum? You fatso!" Yan Jin's eyes were full of anger.
Lei Yin also looked at him coldly, ready to attack at any moment. Although he was gentle, he would not be soft on those who deliberately provoked him.
"Calm down..." Amon comforted. "Since we are not welcome here, let's leave first."
Walking out of the academy, Yan Jin was still indignant. "What a load of crap! That fatso is deliberately making things difficult for us, right?"
"Wait a moment."
Tajis chased after them and whispered to Amon, "The person just now is the head of instruction for the first year, Zhu Youzhi.
"The reason just now was just an excuse. The academy doesn't investigate this during enrollment. As long as you have talent, have a recommendation certificate, and haven't done anything heinous, there's no problem. Some small mistakes don't matter.
"Little brother, you should think about whether you have offended anyone recently. Someone must have spoken up, otherwise the head of the year wouldn't casually refuse talented soul masters from joining."
Tajis gave a hint and left in a hurry, as if he didn't want to have much contact with them.
"Offend someone?" Yan Jin frowned and pondered. "Could it be that blondie? Two-faced? I only fought with him recently!"
Yan Jin consciously put the matter of "offending someone" on herself.
Among the three, Amon lived a secluded life, busy with cultivation, Lei Yin was gentle and kind, and only she was either fighting or on the way to fighting.
"It's also possible that it's those mercenaries, taking their anger out on us because of the Eyeless Snake," Lei Yin guessed.
Amon smiled and denied, "Mercenaries don't have that much power. If they wanted revenge, they would do it themselves."
"Maybe it's that blondie, he deliberately gets someone else to obstruct us, and then he comes forward to solve it, so that we'll be grateful to him," Yan Jin speculated about Bi Da'er with malice.
"Hey, redhead, I'll be sad if you say that." Bi Da'er walked over, looking a little unhappy, and said to Amon:
"I went to ask, but the head of instruction just wouldn't budge. Don't worry, I'll work on it again. Aunt Rona also has some connections in the academy. I'll inquire about what's going on."
