News of Qian Yuling's return spread among the upper ranks of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The three members of the Education Committee came to ask Qian Yuling for details, wanting to learn about Coral Plateau and Miasma Valley.

Qian Yuling said she did not know much either and casually made up a few excuses to brush them off.

Upon hearing the news, Qian Daoliu immediately rushed over. When Qian Yuling saw him, she understood that her grandfather knew about her being taken away by the Wind Drifter Dragon. Qian Yuling briefly told Qian Daoliu about what had happened in Miasma Valley, leaving out the details. After chatting with her for a while, Qian Daoliu left. When Qian Daoliu had first learned that Qian Yuling had been taken by the Wind Drifter Dragon, he had been so furious that he had nearly torn Heaven Dou Royal Academy apart, if not for Second Worship stopping him.

As for Qian Yuling's nominal mother, Bibi Dong also came to check on her. Once she learned Qian Yuling was safe, she returned to the Pope's Palace.

After returning to her dormitory, Qian Yuling did not waste any words and immediately climbed into bed to sleep.

The next day.

As usual, Mo Ying arrived at the classroom humming a little tune.

Before long, everyone except Qian Yuling had arrived. Qin Ming entered as well and said, "Class is starting."

Mo Ying raised his hand in confusion and asked, "Teacher Qin, where is Yu Ling?"

Qin Ming gave Mo Ying a meaningful look before answering, "Yu Ling was taken away by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe."

Mo Ying was startled. "Xue Qinghe?"

Qin Ming nodded. "At this hour, they should have already reached the Prince's Mansion."

Mo Ying's face turned pale. He sat down, a look of dejection appearing on his face.

Seeing Mo Ying like this, Qin Ming sighed. "Class is starting."

When Meng Shenji and the other two members of the Education Committee heard that Xue Qinghe had taken Qian Yuling to the Prince's Mansion, their faces nearly split from their smiles. Meng Shenji sighed with emotion. "The Crown Prince has good taste. Heaven-Blessed Empire, indeed."

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

Qian Yuling looked at Xue Qinghe before her and asked, "Why did the Crown Prince bring me to the Prince's Mansion?"

Xue Qinghe let out a laugh. "It has only been five and a half years, and you already don't remember me?"

Qian Yuling was somewhat confused, unable to understand Xue Qinghe's words.

Xue Qinghe put on a saddened expression and said, "Ling'er, your sister is very hurt by this."

"Sister?" Qian Yuling looked utterly baffled.

Xue Qinghe helplessly returned to her original appearance and gave Qian Yuling a meaningful look.

"Ah, it was you, Sister!" Qian Yuling threw herself into Qian Renxue's embrace. "Sister, you're so mean, tricking me with that appearance."

Wait, Qian Yuling seemed to have thought of something. She asked, "Sister, is this your mission?"

Qian Renxue nodded, then looked at Qian Yuling and said, "Five and a half years apart, and Ling'er has become so beautiful."

Qian Yuling stuck out her tongue and asked, "How did you know I was at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Sister?"

Qian Renxue answered, "I heard it from Senior Porcupinefish Douluo yesterday, so I came to find you today."

Qian Renxue asked again, "What level is Ling'er's Soul Power now? Have you reached the level of a Soul Elder?"

Qian Yuling's eyes shifted as she heard that. "Guess, Sister."

Qian Renxue laughed. "All right, let me guess. You're level 32 now, right?" She could tell from Qian Yuling's expression that she had definitely reached the strength of a Soul Elder. Based on her own estimate, Qian Yuling should have been around level 32. She had already guessed on the high side.

Qian Yuling was somewhat unhappy to hear that. "How could it be that low? Who are you looking down on, Sister?"

Hearing Qian Yuling say that, Qian Renxue asked in delight, "What level are you now, Ling'er?"

Qian Yuling stuck out her tongue. "Sister, you tell me your level first."

Qian Renxue smiled. "I'm already level 57. What about you, Ling'er?" Qian Renxue was becoming impatient.

Qian Yuling planted her tiny hands on her hips. "I'm already level 45."

"What?!" Qian Renxue nearly slipped and fell.

Qian Yuling gave a sly smile. Looking at Qian Renxue's expression, she put on the air of a little adult and laughed. "Sister, you look so funny acting like you've never seen the world."

Qian Renxue: "..." She had always believed her talent was the strongest in the continent's history, yet reality told her that compared to Qian Yuling's, her talent seemed a little embarrassing.

Seeing Qian Renxue's expression, Qian Yuling summoned her martial soul—the World Tree Root.

A glowing white Staff appeared in Qian Yuling's right hand.

Looking at Qian Yuling's martial soul, Qian Renxue asked in confusion, "Ling'er, wasn't your martial soul a Branch?"

As soon as Qian Renxue finished speaking, four Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, and white—rose beneath Qian Yuling's feet.

Qian Renxue's expression did not change much as she looked at the first three Soul Rings, but when she saw the fourth, she was completely dumbfounded.

Only after a long while did she recover. "Ling'er, why is your Fourth Soul Ring a white ten-year Soul Ring?"

Qian Yuling answered, "As my Soul Power increased, my World Tree Root martial soul took on the shape of this Staff. As for the Soul Ring, Sister, take a closer look."

Following Qian Yuling's words, Qian Renxue leaned closer and found that compared to an ordinary ten-year Soul Ring, this white Soul Ring was more crystal-clear and translucent, and it even radiated a faint golden glow.

Qian Yuling added, "Sister, it isn't white. It's platinum."

Qian Renxue was confused. "A platinum Soul Ring? Could it be god-level?"

Qian Yuling shook her head. "It isn't god-level. It's a Million-Year Soul Ring."

"A Million-Year Soul Ring?!" Qian Renxue was even more bewildered. She had never heard of a Million-Year soul beast. Generally speaking, Soul Rings with gold in them were god-level, and golden Soul Rings only appeared as the tenth Soul Ring. After she inherited the Angel God's divine position in the future, her tenth Soul Ring would be golden.

Qian Yuling nodded, then briefly told Qian Renxue about the Corpse Dragon sacrificing itself for her, leaving out some of the details.

Qian Renxue was left stunned throughout the story. After hearing it all, she spent quite some time calming herself down. "My little sister is amazing."

Qian Yuling gave a proud smile.

Qian Renxue asked again, "What are your four Soul Skills?"

"Mm."

A few minutes later, Qian Yuling had finished explaining her first three Soul Skills. After taking a sip of water, she continued, "Next is my Fourth Soul Skill."

"The first active skill of my Fourth Soul Skill is High-level Creature Summoning. It summons the high-level creature Witch Louise. Witch Louise's combat power far exceeds that of the four High-level Spirits, and she possesses extremely high intelligence."

"Next is the second active skill, Summoned Beast Berserk. Summoned Beast Berserk can send Summoned Beasts into a berserk state, increasing all attributes by one hundred percent."

"There is also a passive skill called Soul Domination. It allows me to control the Summoned Beasts as I wish, and it halves the Soul Power required to maintain them."

"Also, the previous passive skill, Summoned Beast Enhancement, has changed. Its effect of raising the Summoned Beasts' levels is gone. Instead, it greatly increases all of their attributes, and greatly extends the time they can remain summoned."

After that round of explanations, Qian Yuling had finally finished introducing all four of her Soul Skills.

Beside her, Qian Renxue was completely stunned. She had never heard of a soul master from the Summon System. Moreover, these Soul Skills were so powerful, and Qian Yuling was only eleven years old, yet she already possessed level 45 Soul Power and a Million-Year Soul Ring. Perhaps in the future, Qian Yuling would become stronger than her. Still, seeing Qian Yuling's talent and strength made Qian Renxue very happy.
