Green Pouch Beast (Newbie asking for votes!!! TvT)

Nab Cloth, his primary martial soul, was manageable enough, but he had no clue whatsoever about his second martial soul, Ye Wen.

The only thing he knew was that it was a mutated martial soul inherited from his mother. According to Ye Buyi, Ye Wen's mother's martial soul had been a beautiful Glazed Bead.

Ye Wen's second martial soul was a translucent blue bead, with twelve golden marks forming a circle around it like the face of a clock.

No matter how he infused Soul Power into it, Ye Wen could not figure out what this martial soul was for. The only thing he knew was that whenever he poured all his Soul Power into it, the bead would shine brilliantly. Then he would feel as if his body was being scanned, and then... nothing. Nothing at all.

But as Twin Martial Souls, the quality of the two martial souls had to be nearly equal. Nab Cloth, with its spatial attribute, could store items even without a Soul Ring attached. This bead looked gorgeous but had yet to display any function, so its ability had surely already been activated. He simply had not understood it yet.

That was why Ye Wen regularly poured all his Soul Power into it every month, hoping to discover the innate ability of this second martial soul.

But so far, he had still found nothing.

When Ye Buyi saw his good grandson bring home a little girl so beautiful it was unbelievable, he was stunned speechless and could not help stroking his beard as he sighed.

"If your father had possessed even half your skill back then, I wouldn't have had to wait until now for such a precious grandson.

Keep it up, Xiao Wen. I hope I'll get to hold a great-grandson while I'm still alive. Hahaha."

Seeing that his grandson's future potential could already rival that of their ancestors, Ye Buyi, who had once been gloomy and dispirited, now teased Ye Wen.

Ye Wen was quite helpless, but that was just how uninhibited this era was. Ah Yin, whom Ye Wen had carefully taught about the basics of human society, blushed slightly as well, yet she did not clearly refuse. Her coy, half-resisting manner made Ye Wen's heart stir, and she looked so pitifully adorable that he could not help but feel protective of her.

Watching the two of them, Ye Buyi felt greatly relieved. He no longer needed to worry about the continuation of the family line. His grandson was already a master of romance at such a young age. A great-grandson was practically a certainty.

During this period, Ah Yin had completely let down her guard around Ye Wen and spent every day happily.

Meanwhile, Ye Wen began preparing for his First Soul Ring. After all, he was human and did not possess Ah Yin's ability to condense Soul Rings on her own.

After school had been in session for some time, Ye Wen took the initiative to ask the Teaching Director for three noble-certified passes to the Soul Hunting Forest. That was one of the advantages of attending school.

After all, those so-called nobles had no reason to give commoner students Soul Hunting passes. Only at school could one obtain such passes directly. Once they gave up their student status, they could only go to places where Soul Beasts gathered, such as the Great Star Dou Forest. Otherwise, these artificially established Soul Hunting Forests were not open to ordinary Soul Masters.

And honestly, Ye Wen had already taught himself all the courses at Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy. The amount of knowledge did not even compare to what he had learned in the first or second grade of his Previous Life's elementary school. With just a little effort, he had finished it all in no time. Rather than teaching knowledge, the Primary Academy was more about urging lower-level Soul Masters to cultivate their Soul Power diligently. Or, when they made mistakes in cultivation, experienced Soul Masters could point them out and prevent them from crippling themselves through improper training.

The Intermediate and Advanced Soul Master Academies were much the same.

"Ah Yin, I'll be relying on you for this soul hunt."

"Leave it to me!" Ah Yin said confidently, patting her chest.

It took the two of them a day to reach the nearest Soul Hunting Forest. Seeing the dense crowds of Soul Masters all around them, the two little newcomers reined in their liveliness and became cautious and reserved.

"Got a pass! Hunting a strength-type Soul Beast, need two more!"

"Hunting an agility-type Soul Beast! Seven people waiting for a pass. Ten Gold Soul Coins." Similar cries rose one after another.

Watching the countless facets of life in this mortal world, Ye Wen frowned. The lives of lower-level Soul Masters seemed even harsher and more miserable than he had imagined.

But one should not meddle in affairs beyond one's place. Ye Wen quickly put those thoughts aside and handed the pass to the two official Imperial guards stationed at the forest entrance.

"A Primary Academy pass. Didn't your teacher come with you to hunt Soul Beasts? With strength like yours, you'll be eaten by those Soul Beasts the moment you go in."

One of the guards, an old man with a weathered face and an air of maturity, took the pass, verified it, and returned it to Ye Wen. Though his tone was rather stiff, Ye Wen could sense his concern for the two children.

He's a good uncle. I thought some scumbag guard would give us trouble.

"My sister and I want to hunt Hundred-Year Soul Rings. The teachers at school thought we students weren't worth them taking action, so they refused us. We came this time to try our luck. If it doesn't work out, we'll go back and save money after this failure, then hire a Soul Elder to help us obtain Soul Rings."

The old guard frowned. He understood perfectly well that these two children were definitely no older than eight. Reaching level ten Soul Power at that age meant they could absolutely be called geniuses among commoner Soul Masters.

But unfortunately, they were commoners without any backing. They did not even have slightly stronger elders to rely on. So they could only come here and gamble with their lives. He saw many people like them every year, but those who returned alive from the Soul Hunting Forest were exceedingly rare.

"Go on in. Tell me what Soul Beast you're looking for. If I happen to know, I can point you in the right direction," the old guard said flatly.

The children had already overcome their fear and wanted to hunt Soul Rings. What reason did he have to stop them? To ease his conscience and keep these promising children from throwing their lives away for nothing, the old guard decided to lend them a hand.

Caught off guard by the sudden concern, Ye Wen froze for a moment before delight filled his heart. He had run into a benefactor.

"I want to hunt a Hundred-Year Green Pouch Beast. Do you know where I can find one?"

At the mention of that Soul Beast, a strange look flashed through the old guard's eyes. It was not because the beast was particularly strong. On the contrary, it had no offensive abilities at all. Its only ability was probably that when it encountered a powerful enemy, it would regurgitate the Blue Silver Grass it had eaten onto the ground, releasing an enticing fragrance that would cause the attacking Soul Beast to lose focus for a moment, allowing it to escape.

The old guard pointed east.

"Follow this road straight east. When you see a small stream, you might occasionally find Green Pouch Beasts over a hundred years old drinking there. As for whether you'll encounter one, that depends on your luck."
