Three Brothers Under the Moon

"Tw... twenty-plus levels! Is that for real? We're all Soul Masters, so how come you're already a Soul Grandmaster?"

"Good grief, I thought Lu Renjia being level seventeen was outrageous enough. How are there even stronger ones?"

"Could they be repeaters?"

The Soul Power Levels of Zhang Yangzi's group of three instantly threw the students below into an uproar. Everyone discussed it fervently, their words filled with disbelief. Level twenty meant two Soul Rings—a world apart from them.

A nine-year-old Soul Grandmaster!

Even among those upperclassmen, the talented ones would only advance at the third grade.

Their homeroom teacher, Ye Yingluo, smiled.

This year's Class One was the most gifted class yet. Three Soul Grand Masters at the start of school. There should have been another student with Twin Martial Souls, but unfortunately, he had been sent to Class Five for fighting.

Still, it did not matter. That student with Twin Martial Souls was supposedly from a major family, yet he was only level eighteen even now. He was probably useless, so Class Five was exactly where he belonged.

"This student, would you like to introduce yourself to everyone as well?"

Everyone in the class had made their introductions. Ye Yingluo smiled as she looked toward Lin Xuan by the podium.

He was the only cool-looking boy in the class who had yet to introduce himself.

"Lin Xuan. Martial Soul: Azure Leaf Sword Grass. Soul Power: level twenty."

After thinking it over, Lin Xuan walked onto the stage.

"Is this batch really that insane? Soul Grand Masters one after another."

"Is Azure Leaf Sword Grass some top-tier Martial Soul? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Lin Xuan's words were brief, but the information they contained still caused a small commotion below.

Yue Qingling looked at Lin Xuan, who had become the center of attention onstage, her eyes sparkling. She wanted to receive everyone's attention like that too.

Unfortunately, it seemed to be just the tiniest bit difficult!

Yue Qingling gloomily pinched the thick roll of fat around her waist.

The three people in the back row had their heads pressed together, their brotherly chemistry overflowing.

"Damn! How is this kid only level twenty? And he's even a Plant-type Soul Master."

Wang Jinxi cried out in surprise. He had thought that anyone capable of silently taking out the three brothers would be at least five or six levels higher than them.

"His perception is very strong!"

Wei Xiaofeng said gravely. Among the three of them, he was the one responsible for keeping watch.

Wei Xiaofeng considered himself highly alert, yet Lin Xuan had still silently taken him out with a single sword strike. That meant Lin Xuan's perception had to be far beyond his own.

"I have a perfect plan. It'll be foolproof."

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yangzi spoke. He beckoned them over, and the three began whispering conspiratorially.

"Looks like Lin Xuan has been working very hard! I hope all of you can learn from Lin Xuan and work hard as well, striving to become Soul Grand Masters as soon as possible."

Ye Yingluo also looked at Lin Xuan in surprise. She remembered that Lin Xuan had been level nineteen on the freshman roster.

With this, she was even more confident about the Class Promotion Tournament three months from now. Just imagining the look on Wu Changkong's face when he lost to her and finally came to his senses...

The smile on Ye Yingluo's lips grew even brighter.

Next, Ye Yingluo went over some more school regulations before moving on to selecting class officers. To everyone's surprise, Ye Yingluo ultimately appointed Yue Qingling as class monitor, leaving the little girl absolutely thrilled.

"Alright, that's all for today's class meeting. Remember to return to your dorms early. The school rules prohibit staying out overnight!"

After saying that, Ye Yingluo was the first to leave the classroom. She did not want to work a second of overtime!

Lin Xuan also stood and headed out.

"Crap, I don't think I bought toothpaste or a toothbrush!"

As soon as Lin Xuan came down from the school building, he suddenly remembered that he had been busy going to the Spirit Pagoda earlier and had forgotten to buy toiletries.

He immediately turned toward the campus convenience store, completely unaware that three extra figures had appeared behind him.

The school convenience store was located by the cafeteria, quite far from the dormitory buildings. Lin Xuan walked for a while before arriving.

"Sixty-five in total."

The convenience store auntie glanced at the items in Lin Xuan's hands and spoke.

After paying, Lin Xuan left carrying his purchases.

Toothpaste, towels, body wash, and all sorts of miscellaneous items—his tiny Storage Soul Tool was stuffed full, yet there was still a large pile left over. Holding everything in both arms was a struggle, and things would fall if he was not careful.

At this hour, the freshmen were mostly in their dorms getting acquainted with their roommates, while the upperclassmen had not yet finished class. This part of the campus was still deserted.

Lin Xuan walked alone under the bright moonlight, his shadow stretching long behind him. But when he reached a corner, he suddenly stopped.

"Need something?"

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow at the figure standing ahead of him.

"I'm here to settle the score over what happened in the Spirit Ascension Platform today!"

Wei Xiaofeng said viciously, reaching up to rub his chest. Having a sword pierce his heart had not felt good.

"Just you? Where are the other two?"

Lin Xuan glanced at Wei Xiaofeng, then searched his surroundings for the other two hiding nearby, but found nothing.

"I'm enough!"

Seeing that Lin Xuan did not take him seriously at all, Wei Xiaofeng felt his anger rise.

If not for that sneak attack, it was still uncertain who would have won!

Two yellow Soul Rings rose behind him. His body then turned illusory as he charged swiftly toward Lin Xuan. Phantom after phantom appeared along the way, surrounding Wei Xiaofeng and making it impossible to distinguish real from fake.

This was his first soul skill, Green Shadow Cascade!

Facing the aggressive Wei Xiaofeng, Lin Xuan remained completely calm despite holding a huge pile of things.

If he could not tell the phantoms apart from the real body, he just had to avoid every attack.

Wei Xiaofeng opened with two punches, but Lin Xuan merely shifted slightly based on instinct and avoided them.

Wei Xiaofeng was like a little bee buzzing wildly around Lin Xuan, attacking nonstop. Afterimages surrounded him, and fist shadows filled the air, making for quite an impressive sight.

But as time passed, cold sweat streamed down Wei Xiaofeng's forehead, and the anger that had risen within him cooled again. He had not even touched the edge of Lin Xuan's clothes.

If Lin Xuan had not been carrying all that stuff, he probably would have been taken down in a single exchange.

No, I need to buy more time!

Wei Xiaofeng's gaze sharpened, and his second Soul Ring lit up.

Green Shadow Devour!

Six huge green serpent phantoms coiled around Wei Xiaofeng's fists. He continued throwing punches at Lin Xuan while the Green Snake phantoms around his wrists lunged at the items in Lin Xuan's arms.

Carrying a huge pile of things while fighting was practically an insult to him! Then he would destroy them!

Under this two-pronged assault, Lin Xuan could only retreat step by step to protect his belongings.

Wei Xiaofeng rejoiced inwardly and increased the force of his attacks, though his face still burned with embarrassment. This victory was hardly honorable.

But it was all for the team! Wei Xiaofeng consoled himself.

Lin Xuan's expression, meanwhile, grew darker and darker as they fought. This guy had no shame at all.

The convenience store owner had suddenly closed early due to an emergency. If this guy ruined all his toiletries, what was he supposed to use tonight?

"Move!"

Lin Xuan was angry now. After dodging another one of Wei Xiaofeng's attacks, he raised his leg and kicked him flying.

After all this time, Lin Xuan had already figured out the workings of Wei Xiaofeng's soul skill.

"Hahaha! Lin Xuan, the time has come! Yangzi, go!"

Just as Lin Xuan was about to set the toiletries in his arms on the ground, Wei Xiaofeng suddenly climbed up from the ground and looked to the sky with a laugh.

Lin Xuan halted his movement and looked up.

A bright white moon hung overhead. Then, against that jade-white disc, a black speck abruptly grew larger as Zhang Yangzi dove down from the sky at high speed.

Night Domination!

Within only a few breaths, Zhang Yangzi descended to the ground with Wang Jinxi, bringing with them a vast Dark Light Curtain.

The entire area within more than ten meters of Lin Xuan was swallowed by darkness!

They had already experienced Lin Xuan's close-combat abilities in the Spirit Ascension Platform and knew they were no match for him. Pulling Lin Xuan into their comfort zone was the strategy they had devised.

To evade Lin Xuan's perception, the two of them had even circled around from the sky, all to catch him off guard.

Thank you for your support, dear readers. PK1 has been cleared.
