Douluo: AFK to Become a God

Having a half-level innate soul power wasn't impressive, but being at innate level 1 looked much better.

After all, the Notting Academy was just a junior soul master academy in a small city, and most of the work-study students there were also at innate level 1, making them relatively weak.

Innate level 1?

Director Su raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit skeptical.

It wasn't that he thought innate level 1 soul power was too high, but rather that it seemed too low. Since the information came directly from the dean, it appeared that the actual talent might not align with what was being stated.

With this assumption in mind, Dean Su believed that Chu Chengzhou's talent wasn't bad at all and might even be above level 5. After all, why would the dean hide his true level if it weren't to protect him from potential harm due to his superior talent?

As for being below innate level 1? The probability was just too small! Such poor talent couldn't possibly make someone a soul master—it would be better to just lie around at home waiting to die.

Dean Su glanced meaningfully at the grandfather and grandson but didn't say anything further. He began processing Chu Chengzhou's enrollment.

As for the tuition fee for Chu Chengzhou?

Wasn't it just one gold soul coin for tuition?

The lack of tuition payment wasn't intentional on Su Nan's part. As a big shot, he didn't think about such small matters.

"Little Chengzhou, you're a level one student, so you'll stay in Dormitory One."

After completing the registration, Dean Su said to Chu Chengzhou, handing him two sets of uniforms.

Even though it was just a junior soul master academy, Notting Academy still had strict requirements for its students. Even if a student lived right next to the academy, they still had to stay in the academy dorms for unified management. Chu Chengzhou, being the grandson of the dean, was no exception.

Of course, staying in the academy didn't mean he couldn't leave; he just had to sleep there at night.

"Dean Su, can I stay in the work-study dorm?" Chu Chengzhou asked.

As the saying goes, "When heaven entrusts a great responsibility to a person, it must first torment their mind, labor their muscles and bones, starve their body, and make them endure hardship."

There's also a poem: "The sharp sword is forged through grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."

Although Dormitory One's conditions were certainly better than the work-study Dormitory Seven, Chu Chengzhou wasn't someone who cared about material things.

He swore this wasn't because he hoped a rabbit-eared girl would show up in Dormitory Seven next year.

"Dorm Seven?" Su Dean looked at Chu Chengzhou in surprise.

Changing dorms wasn't difficult, but the dean's opinion mattered.

Su Dean looked at Su Nan for confirmation.

After a moment of thought, Su Nan nodded.

In Su Nan's view, his grandson's soul power had mutated, leading to poor talent. It was better not to compare him with the nobles or second-generation soul masters who had slightly better talent, to avoid damaging his self-confidence.

After all, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!

Although Chu Chengzhou's innate half-level soul power meant he had little hope of being the head of a chicken, it was still better than being at the bottom, right?

"Alright! Little Chengzhou, I'll arrange for you to stay in Dormitory Seven."

Since the dean had given the nod, Su Dean naturally had no objections.

Also, there was no need to report extra costs for teaching equipment depreciation, since work-study students attended for free.

As for the work-study students' jobs?

Since he was the dean's grandson, Chu Chengzhou didn't need to work to support himself, and no one would dare ask him to.

After the enrollment process was completed, Chu Chengzhou followed Su Nan to Dormitory Seven.

Though they arrived empty-handed, they weren't without belongings. Chu Chengzhou's bedding and other items were stored in Su Nan's storage soul tool.

For soul masters of lower levels, storage soul tools were considered rare and expensive items. Generally, a storage soul tool with one cubic meter of internal space could cost over 10,000 gold soul coins, and the larger the space, the more expensive it became.

It was only because Su Nan was the "big shot" in Notting City and the dean of the academy that he could afford such a tool. Even Su Nan's wife, Li Wan, didn't own one, and as a small fry, Chu Chengzhou certainly didn't have such "high-end" items.

There was only one dormitory building, and it was easy to find. The academy's students and teachers all lived there.

The academy wasn't large, with only about three hundred people, so one dormitory building was enough.

In the dormitory, Dormitory Seven was a special case, with poorer conditions. After all, work-study students attended for free, so their living conditions couldn't compare to those of other students.

Dormitories One to Six were reserved for the six different grades, while Dormitory Seven housed students from all grades who were work-study students.

As they approached the open door of Dormitory Seven, Chu Chengzhou could hear the noise from inside. The room was spacious, about 300 square meters, with 50 beds, but only 12 had bedding. At the moment, six or seven kids were making noise inside.

Su Nan didn't pay attention to the noise and asked Chu Chengzhou, "Little Chengzhou, which bed do you want?"

"That one," Chu Chengzhou pointed to a bed in the corner by the window.

The 300-square-meter room was large, and there was more than one window, so the good spots by the window hadn't been taken.

Their conversation caught the attention of the work-study students in the room.

"Ah~! Dean!" A work-study student, about ten years old, was the first to react and hurriedly greeted Su Nan.

"Hehe~! Hello, everyone, no need to mind me."

Su Nan didn't put on airs as the dean and was very approachable with the kids.

"Grandpa, give me the things. I can do it myself," Chu Chengzhou said to Su Nan.

"Alright! Little Chengzhou, remember to get along well with your classmates."

After taking out the supplies, Su Nan patted Chu Chengzhou's head and reminded him.

"Mm-hmm!"

After that, Su Nan didn't linger in Dormitory Seven. It was the first day of school at Notting Academy, and as the dean, he had other matters to attend to.

After Su Nan left, the work-study students in Dormitory Seven exchanged looks, and then a burly work-study student walked over to Chu Chengzhou.

"Hello, I'm Li Erniu, Black Bull Martial Soul, level 9 soul master, sixth-year student."

As the "leader" of Dormitory Seven, Li Erniu introduced himself to Chu Chengzhou.

"Chu Chengzhou, Martial Soul: Summoning Flag, just awakened recently."

Since someone had greeted him, Chu Chengzhou naturally didn't want to be rude.

Of course, he deliberately avoided talking about his soul power level.

After all, who would want to announce their soul power was less than level 1? It would be so embarrassing!
