Chapter 245 Common People
"The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is the first to appear in this competition?" Wang Lin asked with some confusion.

"As the host, of course I'll be the first." Xiao Hongchen didn't quite understand what Wang Lin meant.

"Then you are indeed the first Soul Saint under the age of 20 in the competition." Wang Lin nodded and affirmed Xiao Hongchen.

"You're not not participating." Xiao Hongchen suddenly thought of something and his face became serious. "Are you going to participate on behalf of the Holy Spirit Church?"

“No!” Wang Lin shook his head and said faintly: “I will not participate in this competition, but Xiaoxiao, don’t forget that the next competition will not only have students, but also sects. I can guarantee that you will definitely not be the only Soul Saint in this competition.”

“Who else but me could be the Soul Sage under the age of 20? Even the students of Shrek Academy have never achieved that.” Xiao Hongchen was quite confident.

"Maybe we can do it next time. Prepare well, Xiaoxiao. If I tell you, it will be unfair to others. But I can tell you that the Holy Spirit Church will also participate in the next competition, and there are Soul Saints on the team."

Wang Lin smiled and said that except for Long Aotian, under his influence, if nothing goes wrong, it should not be a problem for Yu Tianlong and Bei Bei to break through to the Soul Saint level after getting the Thunder Dragon Stem and Dragon Pill respectively.

In other words, not counting the members of the Holy Spirit Church, there will be at least four Soul Saints in this competition.

"Really?" Xiao Hongchen didn't ask any more questions. "Okay, let's not talk about this. I came here to find you for something important. I will enter the palace to become your disciple in three days. There will be a surprise for you then!"

As he spoke, Xiao Hongchen raised his eyebrows at Wang Lin.

"What surprise?" Wang Lin asked.

"You'll know when the time comes." Xiao Hongchen shook his head, looking mysterious.

Wang Lin asked several times but didn't get an answer, so he didn't continue asking. He just changed the subject and started chatting with Xiao Hongchen.

From casual conversation, I learned that Xuan Ziwen had already entered the worship hall with the technology of sealed soul power storage device.

Wang Lin was not surprised by this. With Xuan Ziwen's talent in soul guides, it was only a matter of time before he entered the Worship Hall.

However, after hearing this news, Wang Lin was completely relieved. Unlike in Mingde Hall, once he joined the Gongfeng Hall, his life and death would belong to the Sun and Moon Empire, and he would be under 24-hour iron protection as long as he went out.

There would not be a chance for Xuan Ziwen to abandon everything in the Sun Moon Empire and go to Shrek Academy alone as in the original novel.

Every soul guide who can enter the Worship Hall is of utmost importance to the Sun-Moon Empire and cannot afford any mistakes.

Without staying in the courtyard for too long, Xiao Hongchen said goodbye and returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

……

Three days passed quietly. In the early morning, a breeze blew across Mingdu, awakening this steel city that had been sleeping all night.

After finishing a night of practice, Wang Lin said hello to Long Xiaoyao and walked out of the courtyard. As soon as he walked out of the alley, he ran into Xiao Hongchen, who was wearing a red and white suit.

"Uh, Xiaoxiao, why are you here?" Wang Lin looked at Xiao Hongchen in confusion.

"Because I am the surprise!" Xiao Hongchen spread his arms and said proudly.

"Wow, what a surprise!" Wang Lin waved his hand perfunctorily to Xiao Hongchen, then pulled him directly towards the pancake stall at the entrance of the alley.

"Wang boy, why haven't you come for so long?" The lady selling pancakes stared at Wang Lin for a long time before saying in surprise.

"I have something to do and I am not in Mingdu. I want two sets of pancakes, Auntie." Wang Lin explained with a smile, looked at the price list, and was about to pay. The pancake selling auntie waved her hand hurriedly, "You haven't been here for such a long time, Auntie will treat you and your friend to a meal today."

"Thank you very much, Aunt Li." Wang Lin smiled and didn't be polite to the aunt.

Aunt Li waved her hand to indicate that it was a minor problem. Her hands moved quickly, and her mouth spoke quickly as well: "Wang boy, last time I told you about the Li family's daughter, who is about the same age as you, and is also a soul guide like you. Do you want to meet her?"

"I haven't been back for more than a year." Wang Lin was somewhat helpless when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "I'm still gone, Auntie, I already have a girlfriend."

"Really? What a lucky girl she is!" Aunt Li exclaimed.

"I am so lucky. I will bring her here to eat pancakes if I have the chance." Wang Lin said with a smile. Aunt Li clapped her hands immediately after he said this. "That's great. Aunt, I'll treat you."

Wang Lin and Aunt Li chatted casually, and soon two pancakes were ready. Wang Lin took the pancakes and put a Gintama coin in the money box of the pancake stall.
Without waiting for Aunt Li to react, Wang Lin quickly pulled Xiao Hongchen away. When they met snack stall owners he knew on the way, Wang Lin greeted them one by one. The stall owners all returned his greetings with a smile and said polite words.

It was not until they passed through the streets that Wang Lin was familiar with and were walking on the road to the imperial city that Xiao Hongchen looked at the food in his hand that he had never eaten before, then looked at Wang Lin, as if he had something to say but didn't know how to say it.

"What's the matter, young master? Have you never experienced the life of common people? Are you stunned?" Wang Lin joked with a smile.

Click!

Xiao Hongchen came back to his senses, took a bite of the pancake in his hand, and said incoherently: "I just didn't expect that you actually have such a side."

"Because I was born into an ordinary family." Wang Lin said seriously. Of course, he was not talking about this life, but the previous life.

Aunt Li who sells pancakes looks very much like the stall owners who sold egg pancakes and hand-pulled pancakes at the school gate every morning when Wang Lin was in junior high school in his previous life.

“It tastes great.” Xiao Hongchen praised and looked at Wang Lin in confusion: “Didn’t you say you were born into a noble family in the Xing Luo Empire?”

“No conflict.” Wang Lin shook his head. The two of them ate pancakes. After they finished the pancakes, they arrived at the gate of the Sun and Moon Imperial City in a short while.

At this time, at the gate of the imperial city stood a tall old man with a bald head, ruddy complexion, and lightning-like eyes.

Seeing the old man, Xiao Hongchen immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Mr. Ye."

As soon as Xiao Hongchen said "Mr. Ye", Wang Lin guessed the identity of this old man. The surname Ye should be Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin, a ninth-level soul engineer who is good at making various high-altitude soul guides. His Starry Sky title also came from this.

Immediately, Wang Lin took a step forward and said seriously: "Master Ye, this is the junior Wang Lin."

"Yes, you are very good. The multi-stage soul guide structure you proposed is very inspiring to me." Ye Yulin praised with a smile, raising his hand, and a ball of silver light and golden light appeared in his hands at the same time.

"Come on, pick one, and when you've studied it thoroughly, come get the other one from me."

"What is this?" Wang Lin stared at the two balls of light. The golden dragon blood in his body began to throb slightly. He actually felt the brilliance of the sun from the golden light.

He turned to look at Xiao Hongchen. Xiao Hongchen did not explain, but just signaled Wang Lin with his eyes to choose the ball of silver light.

In that case, Wang Lin came back to his senses, looked at Ye Yulin, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ye, I choose the gold one."
