There were no Mental Attribute soul beasts inside the Soul Hunting Forest, so if Su Wen wanted to obtain his Second Soul Ring, he could only make a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

And once he went, he did not plan to come back.

After Tang San returned, Su Wen also went to the headmaster's office and submitted his graduation application.

"Early graduation?" Looking at Su Wen, the Bald Headmaster confirmed again, "Are you sure?"

"Headmaster, I'm very sure." Su Wen's gaze was extremely firm.

The headmaster rubbed his bald head and did not try to keep Su Wen, instead beginning to process his graduation procedures.

"This is a letter of recommendation from Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. If you want to join an intermediate soul master academy, this recommendation letter should be useful to you."

Su Wen accepted the recommendation letter.

He knew that he most likely would not need it.

A soul master academy was very good, with many facilities. If one could stand out, they would also be trained with full effort in order to achieve good results in the Soul Master Competition.

However, Su Wen was still very far from all that for now.

"The Soul Master Competition is at least six years away from now."

In six years, going from Level 20 to Level 40 was entirely possible, so Su Wen was not against participating in the Soul Master Competition.

However, even if he wanted to join an Advanced Soul Master Academy to participate in the Soul Master Competition, Su Wen most likely would not need Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy's recommendation letter.

What truly mattered would always be strength.

As long as his talent was sufficient, no academy would refuse him.

"Brother Wen, are you really leaving?" Little Fatty was somewhat reluctant to part.

Over the past four-plus years, although Su Wen had always focused on cultivation, he had also given Little Fatty a great deal of guidance, allowing him to improve quite a bit in both Staff Technique and soul power cultivation.

For Little Fatty, whose Innate Soul Power was only half a level, cultivating his soul power to rank nine in merely four and a half years was already enough to show just how important Su Wen's guidance had been.

Before graduating from Sixth Year, Little Fatty had hope of obtaining his First Soul Ring and becoming a true soul master!

That was far better than Old Jerry, who likewise had only half a level of Innate Soul Power, by an unknown amount.

"Little Fatty, don't slack off when you're cultivating alone at the academy. Although breaking through from rank nine to rank ten is difficult, with your current conditions, as long as you persist, you'll definitely be able to break through."

"I'll work hard at cultivating!"

Su Wen nodded.

He had not made Little Fatty stay at rank ten like he had, accumulating Original Soul Power to prepare for the transformation of his upcoming First Soul Ring.

There was no need for that.

Martial Soul Space was not something that could be sensed so easily.

Su Wen had not even mentioned the requirement of a Hundred-Year Soul Ring to Little Fatty.

A Hundred-Year Soul Ring.

Even if one joined Spirit Hall, they might not necessarily be able to get such a configuration for their First Soul Ring.

Su Yuntao, Si Si, Feng Yuan—the three of them only had white ten-year soul rings for their First Soul Rings.

No matter how close they were to a hundred years, they were still white soul rings.

New Moon Village.

"Grandpa Jerry, I'm back."

"Xiao Wen, you've really decided?"

"Mm."

Old Jerry sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. You've been very clever since you were little and know what you want to do, so I won't stop you. It's just that you're still so young out there, so you must be careful."

Old Jerry was not worried about Su Wen's intelligence. He was only worried that Su Wen was too innocent and did not understand how dangerous society could be.

"Grandpa Jerry, I don't plan to leave right away either." Su Wen gave a wry smile. "I'm going to cultivate for a while longer and go obtain my soul ring once I'm ready."

"Right, Grandpa Jerry, didn't you say before that you'd broken through? Have you absorbed a soul ring yet?"

Su Wen had now developed a complete Soul Power Circulation Route for his Internal Energy, which could initially increase the circulation and cultivation speed of soul power.

He had also taught the Internal Energy to Old Jerry.

After Old Jerry obtained the Internal Energy and circulated his soul power along the complete Internal Energy route, he had naturally broken through rank ten.

"Not yet." Old Jerry shook his head.

Obtaining a soul ring meant hunting a soul beast. How could he have that kind of ability?

Moreover, entering the Soul Hunting Forest also required a warrant from Spirit Hall and the guarantee of three nobles. Where was he supposed to find people to guarantee him?

So after breaking through rank ten, he had only planned to leave it to luck. If he could discover a soul beast in the wild and had hope of killing it, he would absorb its soul ring.

"The warrant and hunting a soul beast aren't difficult." Su Wen indicated that none of these were problems. "Grandpa Jerry, all your life, you've wanted to become a soul master. I'll definitely help you fulfill this wish."

As for hunting a soul beast, Su Wen now had the strength to do it.

Although he had not obtained his Second Soul Ring, Su Wen's qualities in every aspect were definitely no worse than Su Yuntao and the others.

What was more, Su Wen's First Soul Skill came from a beast over three hundred years old, and its effect was quite impressive. He could even put up a fight against a Hundred-Year Soul Beast.

If they played it safe and only hunted ten-year soul beasts, or Hundred-Year Soul Beasts that were easy to kill, there basically wouldn't be any accidents.

"Although the soul beast records in Notting City's Spirit Hall Branch aren't especially detailed, they're still enough to help me identify all kinds of soul beasts in Soul Hunting Forest, as well as gauge their strength."

To hunt soul beasts, one first had to understand them. Otherwise, one might not even know how one had died.

And Su Wen already had that ability.

"Grandpa, make some preparations. We'll go hunt a soul beast tomorrow."

Old Jerry nodded repeatedly, grinning from ear to ear.

Although he could obtain his First Soul Ring very soon, he still asked worriedly, "Xiao Wen, are you sure it won't be dangerous? You're still young. You can't let anything happen to you just because you're hunting a soul beast for me."

He wasn't a child either. Over the years, he had heard of plenty of Soul Masters who had died at the claws of soul beasts for the sake of soul rings.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I can't say for sure about Hundred-Year Soul Beasts, but I can slaughter soul beasts under a hundred years old however I like." Su Wen patted his chest and promised.

The next day.

Su Wen brought Old Jerry to the Spirit Hall Branch and asked Su Yuntao to help him apply for a warrant.

"Xiao Wen, are you sure you'll be fine on your own?" Su Yuntao couldn't help asking worriedly.

"Don't worry, Brother Tao. I've completely mastered all the soul beast records in the library. If I run into a soul beast I can't beat, I can still get away. I won't overestimate myself and challenge soul beasts I can't defeat either."

"Mm. Just wander around the outskirts. It might not be very efficient, but at least it'll be safe."

"Okay."

Su Wen took the warrant and left Spirit Hall with Old Jerry.

Watching Su Wen and Old Jerry's backs, Su Yuntao couldn't help sighing. "Old Jerry really is lucky."

Soul Hunting Forest.

Su Wen and Old Jerry slowly walked in.

When the guards saw them, one came forward and said, "Please show Spirit Hall's warrant to enter Soul Hunting Forest."

Su Wen took out the warrant and handed it to him.

"Go on in."

"Grandpa, let's go."

Old Jerry was no longer young, so Su Wen didn't act carelessly. Following Su Yuntao's suggestion, he searched slowly around the outskirts of Soul Hunting Forest.

"Hm? Grandpa, you might be getting a Hundred-Year Soul Ring." Su Wen spoke softly as he observed the yellow-skinned figure in the distance.

It was a Yellow-skinned Mouse.
