Hometown Soul Master Cultivation Plan

Ah Yin listened to Ye Wen's explanation, her eyes shining with admiration. She had not expected the Soul Skill Ye Wen obtained to be exactly what he had envisioned.

On Douluo Continent, the Soul Skills Soul Masters obtained were largely random. No one could be one hundred percent certain what Soul Skill they would gain. They could only try their best to hunt suitable Soul Beasts in hopes of obtaining suitable Soul Skills.

A hint of pride flashed through Ye Wen's eyes, but instead of excitedly shouting like an ordinary child, he and Ah Yin began arranging their night watch duties. After all, night had already fallen, and with their small bodies, it was simply impossible for them to return to human society.

The Soul Hunting Forest was already fraught with danger during the day, but at night, it became a paradise for nocturnal Soul Beasts and hell for humans. In such pitch-black conditions, no human could be a match for nocturnal Soul Beasts.

Fortunately, the two of them were quite lucky. Not only had they successfully hunted the Soul Ring they needed on their first day, but the night had also passed without any unusual disturbances.

Early the next morning, the two of them left the Soul Hunting Forest in an orderly manner. The ones guarding the forest entrance were still the old guard and the young man. Ye Wen was deeply grateful for the old guard's reminder. If the old guard had not told him where Green Pouch Beasts often appeared, then even setting aside the danger, blindly searching through the Soul Hunting Forest might have wasted more than several days.

"Thank you for your help yesterday, Uncle," Ye Wen said politely and gratefully.

Looking at this child, who had left quite an impression on him, the old guard's eyes showed a trace of emotion. He had not expected the boy to be so lucky, emerging after just one day. Still, he was not overly excited about it, since they were neither relatives nor acquaintances.

However, considering himself a senior among commoner Soul Masters, he felt it was necessary to offer the younger generation a few words of guidance. He spoke calmly.

"Even after obtaining your First Soul Skill, don't get too carried away. There are many experts in this world. But now that you have obtained your First Soul Ring, you can go register at Spirit Hall. You can receive one gold coin every month, which will make life much easier for you."

Though this information was merely common knowledge among Soul Masters, Ye Wen still felt warmth in his heart.

In his Previous Life, he had not known who his parents were and had grown up in an orphanage. Knowing how cruel society could be, he could only study desperately through relentless competition in hopes of changing his fate. But in the end, he had pushed himself too hard and truly worked himself to death. In his brief twenty-some years of life, aside from his roommates, the number of people who had treated him this well probably did not exceed the fingers on one hand. Thus, Ye Wen secretly resolved that if he gained the ability in the future, he would not mind helping the old guard.

After chatting for a few more moments, Ye Wen and Ah Yin set off together on the road back to Nuoding Academy.

Along the way, Ye Wen discovered his own shortcomings. He did indeed possess wisdom beyond this era, but his combat strength was insufficient, and one person could not be in two places at once. He had to train assistants. Otherwise, progress in his future martial soul research would surely be slow, and he did not want to become a theoretical Grandmaster like Yu Xiaogang, using speculation to deceive people.

A true theory had to be supported by scientific evidence, summarized data, and a plan with an extremely low error rate. Only then could it be considered qualified. Otherwise, it was no different from treating human lives like grass.

"Brother, what are you thinking about? Is something bothering you?"

Ah Yin had clearly noticed Ye Wen's absent-mindedness, so she asked curiously.

Ye Wen pondered for a while before saying, "When we break through to three Soul Rings in the future, I plan for us to start training disciples and building our own foundation. Traveling alone through human society while isolated and without support is simply too dangerous. Besides, my martial soul research will definitely require more and more data in the future. I certainly won't be able to handle it all alone."

The moment she heard that it was such a troublesome matter, Ah Yin immediately lost interest. As the Blue Silver Emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan, which had a laid-back nature and simply let its members grow freely without training subordinates, she truly did not possess this so-called ambition.

Seeing Ah Yin start slacking off again, Ye Wen's mouth twitched, but there was nothing he could do.

Soon, the two of them returned to Nuoding Academy. However, they did not rush to Spirit Hall to register as Soul Masters and collect their stipends. Instead, they took out a crystal ball for testing Soul Power and tested their own Soul Power first.

Ye Wen: Level 15 Soul Master

Ah Yin: Level 15 Soul Master

Their Soul Power levels were nearly identical. It had to be said that this was what true Innate Full Soul Power geniuses were like. Neither had gained any additional Soul Power from Soul Rings, yet both had increased by five levels within a single year of cultivation.

As for Tang San? What kind of Innate Full Soul Power was he? At first, he looked plain and scrawny. Only after cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill for a while did he develop that feeling of being unable to continue cultivating. After working so hard, he had only barely managed to catch up to Xiao Wu, who possessed true Innate Full Soul Power.

Heh, so this is true Innate Full Soul Power? (_)

Yet upon seeing such high Soul Power, Ye Wen fell into distress.

Before they mastered true control over the intensity of their Soul Power and its release, the two of them absolutely could not register at Spirit Hall. Otherwise, the matter of their Innate Full Soul Power would be exposed immediately.

Therefore, their next cultivation task was to gain complete control over the intensity of their Soul Power, thereby fooling the Soul Power detector.

Moreover, this ability could be used all the way until Soul Elder. As long as I suppressed my Soul Power low enough, I wouldn't be a Soul Ancestor. I could keep cheating the subsidy forever. That's so cool! Hahaha! (.-`ω-)

The days that followed were as boring as ever. Under their teachers' supervision, they learned basic Soul Master knowledge, then quietly cultivated for the entire day.

Before long, the second year's winter break arrived. Returning once more to the familiar Holy Soul Village, they found the same vast fields and familiar family members.

"Grandpa, I want to conduct an experiment. If it succeeds, a few Soul Masters may appear in our village."

As the family happily ate together, Ye Wen suddenly told Ye Buyi about his Hometown Soul Master Cultivation Plan.

However, Ye Buyi did not immediately agree. Instead, he stroked his long white goatee.

"How confident are you? After living my whole life, I've never heard of Soul Masters being artificially produced."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. Though it's only a hypothesis for now, this experiment won't pose any danger to anyone's life."

"Is that so... Then let's do it. Those people in the village spend all day thinking about all sorts of things, yet they've never managed to produce a child with the talent to become a Soul Master. Since you can give their descendants a chance to become Soul Masters, I imagine they won't refuse.

"But promise me, Xiao Wen, that you will never do anything wicked or harmful. Otherwise, Spirit Hall's Soul Masters will label you a Fallen Soul Master."

As though he had made some sort of decision, Ye Buyi agreed in a deep voice.
