Cloud Firmament City Soul Master Academy

The father and son talked under the moonlight all night until nearly dawn.

Yang Yu finally couldn't hold on and collapsed.

Yang San smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then he picked up Yang Yu and returned to the room, gently placing him on the bed and covering him with a quilt. He nodded and then disappeared from the house.

Yang Yu slept until the third day, when the blazing sun was high in the sky, before finally waking up.

This sleep was exceptionally peaceful and sound.

After getting up, he left the house, stretched, and prepared to practice a few sets of punches to warm up.

"Yu'er, you're awake!"

"Good morning, Mom!"

"Are you hungry? Mom will make you something delicious."

To be honest, Yang Yu actually quite enjoyed this time. In his previous life, he was an orphan with no family, and he had never experienced what fatherly or motherly love felt like.

Yang Yu felt a warmth in his heart.

"Okay, Mom!"

After eating, Yang Yu slumped back in his chair, feeling satisfied.

Just then, his mother took out a letter and handed it to Yang Yu.

"Here! This is for you."

"What is this?"

"Didn't you choose that path? Your father and I discussed it and decided to send you to the Soul Master Academy in Cloud Firmament City to study first."

"Soul Master Academy?"

"I see!"

"How is this so similar to that world?"

"Don't tell me there's going to be a bunny girl loli again?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"Take it! You'll leave in seven days. Prepare well."

Yang Yu snapped back to reality and nodded.

The seven days passed without incident, with Yang Yu spending them in meditation.

On this day, he had expected his parents to take him, but unexpectedly, it was the village chief who came to find him.

"Little Yu, let's go!"

"Oh, okay, Grandpa!"

After a reluctant farewell to his cheap old mother, Yang Yu embarked on his path of study.

As for his old man, he hadn't been seen for several days, and no one knew where he had gone.

This was also the reason why his old mother hadn't sent him off this time.

He probably got held up by some powerful soul beast!

He didn't even consider danger, because he believed in his old man.

This journey lasted for several months.

Cloud Firmament City.

It was bustling with activity at this moment, with constant shouts and hawking.

Following the village chief all the way, they arrived directly at the Soul Master Academy.

"Stop! Who are you? This is an important area of the academy, idlers are not allowed."

The village chief walked forward with a smile, took out two Soul Stones, and handed them to the guards.

"Gentlemen, I've brought my grandson here to enroll? Look~"

With the Soul Stones as a bribe, the grandfather and grandson quickly entered and arrived at the registration office.

At the teaching office, after paying the tuition fees, the village chief bid farewell to Yang Yu and left the academy.

He said he left, but in reality, he was protecting him in secret.

Sent by Yang Yu's cheap old mother.

After completing all the procedures, a teacher led Yang Yu to a cave dwelling.

The cave dwellings for Miscellaneous Disciples at the Cloud Firmament City Soul Master Academy were shared by seven people.

Yang Yu had enrolled as a Miscellaneous Disciple upon entering the academy, working while studying.

Entering the cave dwelling, he saw five disciples sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Suddenly, one of the burly disciples opened his eyes and then glared at Yang Yu.

"Newcomer? Do you understand the rules?"

Yang Yu was startled, then grinned.

"Oh? May I ask, Senior Brother? What are the rules?"

"Skinny, he's asking about the rules, you go tell him."

A thin disciple came up to Yang Yu and said:

"This Junior Brother! Cooperate a little, honestly hand over ten Soul Stones, otherwise you'll be beaten badly."

"Oh? There's this rule too? Interesting, truly interesting!"

"That senior brother, you want Soul Stones? Fine! Come and get them yourself!"

The burly disciple was startled, then stood up and came before Yang Yu, extending his hand.

"Hmm? Where are the Soul Stones? Hand them over!"

A slight smile played on Yang Yu's lips, then he clenched his fist with one hand.

He threw a punch.

"Boom!"

The burly disciple instantly flew backward, crashing against the wall beside him, then spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it, I gave you face? You haven't even fully grown yet, and you're collecting protection fees here?"

The other disciples were astonished, the thin disciple was stunned, then inwardly rejoiced.

This is a big leg to hug, I must hold on tight.

Yang Yu walked step by step to the burly disciple and stepped on him again.

"B-Big Brother, spare me!"

"Hmph~"

"Didn't you want to collect ten Soul Stones from me? Do you still want them or not?"

"Big Brother, I won't dare again, please spare me!"

"Remember, there are always people better than you, and skies beyond skies. Cultivate properly, don't go around learning to collect protection fees for no reason. Understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes! This little brother understands, this little brother will never do it again."

"Mm."

"Get up!"

Afterward, the other five disciples were completely different from before and began to help Yang Yu tidy up his bed.

"Boss, please rest! Your little brothers have made your bed for you."

Yang Yu nodded.

"Mm."

"Not bad!"

Just then.

A captivating, pleasant voice came from the doorway.

Yang Yu was startled, then turned his head.

"My heavens! Are you kidding me?"

"Changing the name turns this place into a training ground for me?"

"Excuse me, is this Cave Seven?"

The disciples nodded blankly.

He had a lecherous look, as if he'd never seen a woman before, staring intently at the female disciple.

"Hello everyone! My name is Ming Wu, the 'Wu' from dancing gracefully."

"Pfft"

Yang Yu almost stumbled when he heard that.

"What the heck?"

Having read many novels in his previous life, he naturally found it very familiar.

Ming Wu smiled slightly, looking at the stunned Yang Yu.

"Little brother, what's your name?"

Yang Yu, who had recovered, replied:

"Hello, my name is Yang Yu, the 'Yu' from stormy rain."

Ming Wu chuckled.

As expected, the plot unfolded just as Yang Yu had imagined.

Yang Yu had no intention of being any kind of leader; he deliberately went easy, and Ming Wu became the leader of the Seventh Cave.

Life at the academy was always so dull and boring.

However, it allowed Yang Yu to understand this world and the so-called Soul Masters better.

Next, he planned to hunt Soul Beasts first and absorb those few Life Souls completely.

He bid farewell to the disciples of the Seventh Cave and came to a forest alone.

Elder Hai was watching him secretly.

In fact, he had already sensed Elder Hai's presence, but he didn't point it out.

With his perception ability, how could he not sense it?

Flashing into the forest, he quickly sensed a suitable Soul Beast.

He immediately ran towards it; currently, he was still a first-rank Soul Master and couldn't fly.

After a few breaths, the battle officially began.

Since he hadn't obtained a Soul Beast's Life Soul and didn't have his own Life Soul skills, he could only fight with his fists.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

At first, he couldn't break through and seemed to be at a disadvantage. Elder Hai, who was in the dark, was also ready to rescue him.

As time went on, his combat experience increased, and Yang Yu gradually gained the upper hand.

Elder Hai nodded in satisfaction, then concealed himself again.

Half an hour later, the soul beast collapsed.

Yang Yu stepped forward and landed a few more punches, then gathered his strongest punch and directly struck the soul beast's head.

"Bang!"

The soul beast's head immediately exploded, completely dead.

Yang Yu nodded, then sat cross-legged, summoned his life soul, and began to absorb.

This was a thousand-year soul beast killed by leapfrogging levels.

He saw the soul beast's life soul detach from its body, then be pulled by Yang Yu's life soul and merge with it.

Gradually, the soul beast's life soul became ethereal, then completely disappeared!

With a boom!

Yang Yu's level began to rise.

One star

Two stars

Three stars

Seven stars

Eight stars

Nine stars

It stopped at the peak of nine stars.

Yang Yu opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He clenched his fist,

"Hmm."

"I'm several times stronger than before!"

He also gained a passive skill:

[Strength Amplification: Passively increases self strength by 5 times, increases with level.]

"Not bad!"

"Huh! I'm already at the peak of nine stars, I can continue absorbing soul beast life souls."

"Well, since I'm already here, I might as well absorb them all!"

In the following time, Yang Yu continuously sensed for suitable soul beasts.

Soon, he began killing soul beasts and successfully absorbing their life souls.

It wasn't until he left the forest that Yang Yu's cultivation reached the level of a third-tier, two-star Soul Master.

This level of cultivation was already comparable to that of an academy teacher.

Elder Hai, who was hiding in the shadows, was shocked.

"This is truly a monstrous talent!" With a wave of his hand, a message was sent back to Subduing Dragon Village.

Subduing Dragon Village.

"Good! As expected of my Mu Dan's son! Hahahahaha!"

Time flew by,

And a year passed in the blink of an eye.

During this year, Yang Yu and Ming Wu became very good friends.

Just as the holiday started, Yang Yu suggested that Ming Wu come to his house as a guest.

(Tsk! I really don't want to expose you, deceiving the feelings of a young girl again.)

"Brother Yu, how much longer until we reach your village?"

"Almost there, almost there!"

"But my feet hurt!"

Ming Wu pouted.

(This Brother Yu is really something. It's so far, and he didn't even arrange a carriage, making this young lady walk back with him like this.)

Yang Yu smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"How about I carry you?"

Yang Yu had been waiting for this moment.

Ming Wu was startled, then shook her head.

"No... that won't do. Men and women shouldn't touch each other intimately! Besides, it's so far, and you're quite tired too. I'll just keep going!"

But Yang Yu didn't give her a chance. He bent down and hoisted Ming Wu onto his back.

"Ah!"

"Quickly put me down!"

Ming Wu looked shyly at Yang Yu's back.

"It's fine! Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."

In reality, Yang Yu wasn't tired at all.

Ever since he absorbed the second and third Soul Beast Life Souls, his physique and speed had greatly increased.

That's right, after absorbing the second Soul Beast Life Soul, he also gained a passive skill, which increased his physique.

[Body Amplification: Passively increases self physique by 5 times, increases with level.]

And after absorbing the third Soul Beast Life Soul, he gained Speed Amplification.

[Speed Amplification: Passively increases self speed by 5 times, increases with level.]

At that time, Yang Yu was stunned.

"Strange! Why are all my skills passive? Not a single attack skill?"

But after carefully sensing, he immediately understood.

"What skills do I need? This damn Yang Yu speaks with his fists."

Yang Yu carried Ming Wu on his back and ran towards Subduing Dragon Village at lightning speed.

Several more days passed.

"Brother Yu! Are you tired? How about we rest?"

Yang Yu shook his head.

"It's fine! We'll be there after crossing that mountain ahead."

Seeing Yang Yu's energetic appearance, Ming Wu chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at you, you blockhead!"

Yang Yu's playful mood surged, and he started tickling Ming Wu.

The two of them returned to Subduing Dragon Village, playing and laughing all the way!

Soon, they arrived at Yang Yu's home.

"Mother! I'm back!"
