Two and a half full years had passed since his martial soul awakened.

Su Wen did not want to keep waiting anymore.

"My First Soul Ring has to improve the quality of my martial soul as much as possible."

At present, Su Wen had already made preparations for the method that could improve his martial soul's quality to the greatest extent.

"With Original Soul Power as support, if I want to improve my martial soul's quality as much as possible, aside from the soul ring's own traits, the more soul power contained within the soul ring, the better it is for me!" Because the more soul power the soul ring carried, the more power Su Wen could use to improve the quality of his martial soul. "That way, only by transforming my martial soul to the greatest extent can I ensure I won't get stuck at the bottleneck of Level 30 or Level 40."

Su Wen knew very well that his martial soul was plain and ordinary. His inherited Book Martial Soul having Innate Soul Power was already enough of a surprise; it was basically impossible for it to support a soul master's cultivation all the way to Soul Elder.

"I don't just need to keep cultivating without my martial soul limiting the upper ceiling of my soul power cultivation. At the same time, I also have to make sure I cultivate as quickly as possible."

As for Immortal Herbs.

Su Wen would definitely try to obtain them, but he would not indulge in fantasies over something he had yet to get.

Moreover, only by pushing every transformation he could currently achieve to the extreme would he be able to make the best use of an Immortal Herb after obtaining one.

Su Wen made his way to Spirit Hall and smoothly found Su Yuntao.

"It's you? You've broken through to Rank Ten?" Su Yuntao had some impression of Su Wen.

Cultivating from Five Levels of soul power to Rank Ten in two and a half years was, to be honest, already considered quite fast, especially when Su Wen's martial soul was only an ordinary book.

The real situation was that Su Wen had reached Rank Ten in just over a year, which was clearly abnormal.

According to Su Wen's own guess, because he had transmigrated here, his Spiritual Power was naturally strong, which to a certain extent made up for his disadvantage in cultivation speed. The fact that his plain, ordinary Book Martial Soul possessed Innate Soul Power might also have been due to this.

Grandmaster and the Dean, on the other hand, guessed that Su Wen's martial soul had undergone some mutation in terms of strength, so they did not suspect anything about him breaking through in just over a year.

"You need a warrant for Soul Hunting Forest?" Su Yuntao frowned as he looked at Su Wen and asked in confusion, "Can't your academy help you obtain a soul ring?"

"I want my First Soul Ring to be a Hundred-Year Soul Ring."

Su Yuntao understood at once and nodded.

That truly was not very likely.

At Junior Soul Master Academy, only the Dean's soul power had broken through to Soul Ancestor, while the other teachers were not even Soul Elders.

For a Soul Grandmaster to hunt a Hundred-Year Soul Beast was extremely dangerous.

Only a Soul Elder could kill a Hundred-Year Soul Beast relatively easily, but if they had to restrain the soul beast and let a student kill it personally, that became much harder.

Not to mention doing so inside Soul Hunting Forest.

If they did not understand soul beasts, misjudged a soul beast's age, or misestimated its strength, they would also encounter all sorts of dangers.

Therefore, aside from when they themselves needed to obtain a soul ring, very few soul masters went to hunt soul beasts, especially those who chose to become teachers at Junior Soul Master Academy.

When hunting soul beasts for students, they prioritized safety as much as possible.

"I can apply for a warrant for you, but Hundred-Year Soul Beasts aren't that easy to hunt. Even I don't have confidence in killing a Hundred-Year Soul Beast," Su Yuntao said, wanting to persuade Su Wen otherwise.

The warrant was issued by Spirit Hall. It was said to require guarantees from three nobles, but in reality, internal Spirit Hall personnel could also count as nobles.

As a Deacon, Su Yuntao also had the qualifications to act as guarantor. If he found two more colleagues, applying for a warrant would not be difficult.

"Don't worry. I've already found a team. They'll help me hunt it," Su Wen said.

He had found a Soul Hunting Team?

Su Yuntao frowned. Soul Hunting Teams varied wildly. If one encountered a conscientious one, that was fine, but if one encountered a team with poor professional ethics, casually finding a Hundred-Year Soul Beast to fob him off would already be considered lucky. If they took the money and did nothing, or even killed him to silence him, then he would truly be out of luck.

"You can join Spirit Hall. Our Spirit Hall can specifically obtain soul rings for soul masters who encounter bottlenecks. With your talent, after joining Spirit Hall, there's still hope for you to qualify for a Hundred-Year Soul Ring. It's just that for future soul rings, you'll need to accumulate contributions yourself before you can receive help."

"Although your talent isn't enough to enter Spirit Hall's soul master academy, you can still study at the Notting City Spirit Hall Branch and learn the knowledge taught in a soul master academy. The hall can also provide you with an environment for cultivation."

After thinking for a moment, Su Yuntao continued trying to persuade Su Wen.

Soul Hunting Teams were unreliable.

Among all the Soul Hunting Teams in Notting City, not a single one was truly reliable.

Su Wen had originally wanted to keep refusing, but he suddenly noticed the detail in what Su Yuntao had said.

Stay at the Notting City Spirit Hall Branch to cultivate?

Didn't joining Spirit Hall mean he had to enter the soul master academy in Spirit City?

"Of course not. Those who can be sent to Spirit City are all among the more talented group. Although your Innate Soul Power is sufficient, your martial soul doesn't meet the standard. However, with talent like yours, if you stay at our Notting City Spirit Hall Branch, you can receive more resources."

So that was how it was.

Su Wen nodded and continued asking Su Yuntao for more information.

Among soul masters who joined Spirit Hall, there were also those who studied at outside soul master academies. They simply had the identity of a Spirit Hall soul master.

Just like clan or Sect soul masters in soul master academies.

If that was how it worked, then joining Spirit Hall was something he could consider.

Su Wen did not regret not coming to Spirit Hall earlier to understand things clearly.

The prerequisite for joining Spirit Hall was that he could obtain benefits without needing to go to Spirit City and suffer humiliation.

If he had joined earlier, although he could have studied better over the past two and a half years, he definitely would have exposed his cultivation speed. Then the shortcomings of his martial soul would no longer have been an excuse for him failing the application to enter Spirit City's soul master academy.

As for the background investigation afterward, that was not a problem.

He had already wasted more than a year of cultivation time, which in itself lowered Su Wen's evaluation.

During the golden stage of cultivation, he had wasted a full year.

Even if Soul Power was still accumulating and could be revealed after he obtained a Soul Ring, without constantly feeling his Soul Power improve, could the quality of his cultivation really be guaranteed?

In short, even if the investigation was completely clear, Martial Soul Hall's evaluation of Su Wen still would not reach the level required for an opportunity to study further at the headquarters in Spirit City.

As for his future performance—

If he successfully obtained a Hundred-Year Soul Ring and his performance afterward was decent, there would naturally still be opportunities.

But if Su Wen himself did his best to avoid it, it was not impossible for him to shake off the chance of going to Spirit City.

"I'll join Martial Soul Hall." Su Wen changed his mind and decided to join Martial Soul Hall.

Su Yuntao smiled.

"Don't worry. Your decision won't be wrong."

"Back then, after I awakened your martial soul and returned to Martial Soul Hall, I looked into it. I found that a functional martial soul like the Book Martial Soul does have other uses. Our Martial Soul Hall also has talent in this area."

"Unlike the cultivation path for combat-type Soul Masters, functional Soul Masters like you all study further in the various branch halls. For example, you can serve as an administrator in the library of our Notting City Spirit Hall Branch. Once you've built up enough qualifications, you can go to a larger sub-hall, or even a main hall or sacred hall, and take up a corresponding position."

He would not take the Martial Soul Hall route, nor would he join the Martial Soul Hall Team, but in the early stage, he would grow under the protection of Martial Soul Hall's outer circle. After he matured, he would also establish his own faction.
