After Jiang Ming said she could clear the table once she finished eating, Ling Luochen's face went from two faint blushes to bright red, and even her delicate earlobes turned crimson.
She hurriedly finished the food on her tray, lowered her head, and picked it up.
The next moment, Jiang Ming simply put away the table and stools before striding out of the Canteen.
Seeing Jiang Ming about to leave without another word, Ling Luochen froze for a moment, then hurriedly called out:
"My name is Ling Luochen. What's your name?"
"Jiang Ming."
Jiang Ming waved. By the time his voice reached Ling Luochen's ears, he had already left the Canteen.
When he returned to the dormitory, the room was already filled with a fresh scent. The bed next to his was still untouched; his roommate had not arrived yet, so he was currently alone.
Jiang Ming climbed onto his bed, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate.
This was the plan he had made for himself.
During the day, he would study Soul Tools. At night, he would meditate and cultivate his Soul Power.
Ordinarily, it would have been difficult for someone his age to reach the level of a Soul Elder through this kind of cultivation. Yet Jiang Ming was not only a Soul Elder—he was a Soul Elder with two Thousand-Year Soul Rings!
All of this was directly related to his other Martial Soul!
Yes, his other Martial Soul!
Aside from the heart Martial Soul, Jiang Ming possessed another Martial Soul as well! He had Twin Martial Souls!
As Jiang Ming meditated, his other Martial Soul quietly appeared.
It was a book that looked remarkably thick and weighty. Mysterious patterns covered its ancient cover, forming a dazzling design.
As the book appeared, three Purple Soul Rings emerged around Jiang Ming, shining brilliantly.
Yes, three Purple Soul Rings! Jiang Ming's other Martial Soul also possessed Soul Rings, and all three were Thousand-Year Soul Rings!
The book silently opened, revealing the contents of its first page.
It was a tiny creature resembling a spirit. Its entire body was yellow, with a red scarf around its neck and a pair of blue-green eyes set in its white face. It looked incredibly adorable.
Suddenly, the little spirit on the first page flew directly out of the book. After glancing at Jiang Ming, it flew onto one of the Purple Soul Rings beside him, assumed the same posture as Jiang Ming, and actually began meditating and cultivating as well!
Soon, the book turned to the second page.
The second page also depicted a little spirit. Its body was grayish-blue, it had six large ears, and it carried a sword nearly as tall as itself on its back.
Like the little spirit on the previous page, it flew out of the book and sat cross-legged atop a Purple Soul Ring to meditate and cultivate.
Immediately afterward, the book turned to the third page, and Jiang Ming's three Soul Rings appeared along with it.
The little spirit on this page was a small creature covered in icy blue, with a long icicle protruding from its forehead. Like the previous two spirits, it flew onto a Purple Soul Ring and began meditating and cultivating.
This was why Jiang Ming could focus most of his energy on researching Soul Tools while still increasing his Soul Power so rapidly!
His second Martial Soul was a Spirit Compendium!
At first, Jiang Ming had not thought there was anything special about this Martial Soul.
Many soul masters of the Summoning System possessed similar Martial Souls. They could summon Soul Beasts from books to fight, while the number and strength of the summoned Soul Beasts varied according to the soul master's power.
Jiang Ming had assumed his Martial Soul was much the same, but when his Soul Power reached Level 10, he discovered its unique nature!
When this Martial Soul reached the Level 10 threshold, it did not need to hunt Soul Beasts to obtain a Soul Ring! Once it reached the required level, it could generate a Soul Ring by itself and unseal one spirit from within the book!
More importantly, the unsealed spirits could actually meditate and cultivate alongside him! Furthermore, the age of their Soul Rings would increase according to the spirits' cultivation results!
At the beginning, this Martial Soul's first Soul Ring had been a white Ten-Year Soul Ring!
Even more importantly, while these spirits cultivated, they could accelerate his own cultivation speed!
With all three spirits cultivating simultaneously, the boost they gave Jiang Ming was roughly equivalent to doubling his normal cultivation speed!
Double the cultivation speed! And this was during the Golden Age of cultivation at Twelve Years Old!
Thanks to this Martial Soul, along with his diligent cultivation in the early years, Jiang Ming's Soul Power had still reached Level 38, even though he had focused on Soul Tool research for the past two years!
His first Martial Soul's second Soul Ring had become a Thousand-Year Soul Ring because of this Martial Soul's enhancement as well. Under the impact of the Thousand-Year Soul Ring's Soul Power, his Soul Power had even risen by two levels at once back then!
Terrifying!
The night passed without incident. When Jiang Ming finished meditating, the first rays of morning sunlight had already streamed through the window into the room.
"Another wonderful day!"
Jiang Ming stretched, put away his Martial Soul, and began washing up.
After meditating all night, along with the aid of special spices, Jiang Ming did not feel the slightest bit tired. Instead, he looked positively energized!
After washing up, Jiang Ming planned to head to Shrek Plaza and run a few dozen laps in the morning.
Beneath the Big Maple Tree, Dorm Manager Grandpa was still lying there, as though he had never moved at all.
"Good morning, Old Man!"
Jiang Ming walked over and greeted Dorm Manager Grandpa. Dorm Manager Grandpa gave a slight nod in response.
Shrek Plaza was not particularly large. One lap was roughly three hundred meters, shorter than the track from Jiang Ming's previous life.
After loosening up, Jiang Ming began his morning run.
At three hundred meters per lap, Jiang Ming set himself a goal of one hundred laps.
One hundred laps might have sounded like a lot, but it was nothing to Jiang Ming.
His first Martial Soul was the Golden Heart, and the heart was the organ that drove blood throughout the entire body!
Since awakening this Martial Soul six years ago, Jiang Ming's Body Strength had been enhanced by that heart countless times!
In terms of Body Strength alone, he could already rival a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor with a top-tier Beast Martial Soul!
At his running speed, three hundred meters took only half a minute.
One hundred laps would take less than an hour. A morning run of this intensity posed no pressure at all.
During his run, students had already begun appearing in Shrek Plaza to exercise.
However, almost none of these students were doing morning runs. Everyone preferred to spend that time meditating and cultivating.
For soul masters, increasing Soul Power was the most direct way to strengthen themselves!
He quickly finished one hundred laps, then went to the Canteen and bought several steamed buns and a cup of soy milk. They tasted good, and the prices were fairly reasonable.
After breakfast, Jiang Ming returned to the dormitory for a shower. Then, together with Dorm Manager Grandpa, he continued enjoying the peaceful passage of time beneath the Big Maple Tree.
Today was also a registration day, so there were no classes. Jiang Ming had no chance to sit in on lessons at the Soul Tool Department, so he could only continue reading books about Soul Tools.
