Before long, a yellow Soul Ring condensed from the Crimson Fire Flame Dragon.
Following the method taught by the academy, Fei absorbed the Crimson Fire Flame Dragon's Soul Ring. The Soul Power that had accumulated within him immediately surged forth like a rising tide.
"I wonder what level my Soul Power should be at now..." Fei smiled faintly, his signature dimples appearing on his face.
Nuoding City, Spirit Hall Branch.
Fei rode the "Illusory Unicorn Flash Dash" while carrying the Crimson Fire Flame Dragon's corpse to the entrance.
The sight frightened the guard once again.
"It's you?!"
He recognized Fei as well.
"Hi, Uncle! We meet again!" Fei leaped down.
"What is that? A soul beast?" The guard stared at the Crimson Fire Flame Dragon's corpse and swallowed nervously.
"Yep!" Fei smiled, then walked into the Spirit Hall Branch under the guard's dazed gaze.
Before long.
Fei left the Spirit Hall Branch.
Only this time, the Crimson Fire Flame Dragon's corpse was gone.
In Fei's hand was a money pouch filled with glittering Gold Soul Coins.
"I never expected to have broken through to level fourteen Soul Power!"
"That Crimson Fire Flame Dragon was really worth a lot!"
Looking at the more than one hundred Gold Soul Coins in his hand, Fei couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising.

Nuoding Academy, the back mountain.
Fei placed the remaining Crimson Fire Flame Dragon meat on an iron plate and began roasting it.
"First Soul Skill—Crimson Dragon Flame!"
Blazing flames began to sear the meat, and an enticing aroma gradually spread through the air.
Oil sizzled on the meat. Fei took out seasoning one after another and eagerly sprinkled it over the roast.
"What a pity. Such excellent meat, and I'm the only one who gets to eat it."
Fei thought of the people still attending class and helplessly rubbed his hands together.
"Children, you're different from me. Studying hard is the proper path for you!"
"I can only enjoy this delicacy by myself."
"Smells so good! Is that something delicious?"
Just then, two figures suddenly emerged from the bushes behind Fei.
Fei instinctively shielded the roast and turned to look at the newcomers.
Xiao Wu and Tang San walked over one after the other.
Seeing that Xiao Wu's gaze had already locked onto his roast, Fei couldn't help frowning.
"Don't come over!"
"If you come any closer, I won't go easy on you!"
"Fine!" Xiao Wu put one hand on her hip and pointed at Fei with the other, displeasure written across her face.
"I was wondering why you took leave these past few days and stopped attending class. So it turns out you were hiding here and secretly eating delicious food!"
"Stinky A Fei! You found something good and didn't know to share it with Sister Xiao Wu!"
Fei rolled his eyes.
"I took leave to obtain my first Soul Ring!"
"This meat is my spoils of war!"
"And... I didn't call you because you were all in class, and there's only so much meat. It isn't enough for this many people."
"Besides, you're a girl. Eating meat will make you gain weight!"
"I'm not afraid!" Xiao Wu strode forward and came to Fei's side, staring eagerly at the roast, its colors vivid and its aroma mouthwatering.
"Fei, you went to obtain your first Soul Ring alone? How did you get into the Soul Hunting Forest? Don't tell me you secretly went in by yourself?" Tang San asked three questions in succession, his brows tightly furrowed.
When he and Yu Xiaogang entered the Soul Hunting Forest, they needed a Spirit Hall token before they were granted permission.
If Fei had entered secretly without permission, then his Soul Ring would not be recognized.
"Couldn't be helped..." Fei shrugged.
He had wanted to enter through the main gate too.
Unfortunately, he didn't have a token issued by the Spirit Hall.
Since that was the case, as someone capable of flight, he could only find another way in.
"Fei, what you did wasn't right. Don't do that again in the future," Tang San advised.
"Got it, got it!" Fei waved dismissively.
"Stinky A Fei! Have you obtained your first Soul Ring? If not, I can help you—but you have to share this roast with me!" A sly glint appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes.
"No need." A yellow Soul Ring slowly emerged around Fei. "I've already obtained my first Soul Ring! It came from a five- or six-hundred-year-old Crimson Fire Flame Dragon! This meat also came from the Crimson Fire Flame Dragon!"
"Five or six hundred years?" Tang San cried out in shock, his eyes widening as he inwardly exclaimed, Impossible.
"That's impossible!"
"According to my teacher's theory, the limit for a first Soul Ring is 423 years!"
"How could you possibly absorb a Soul Ring that was five or six hundred years old?"
"Little Xiao San, don't get so hung up on it!" Seeing Tang San's expression turn extremely unpleasant and his emotions grow agitated, Fei thought he looked as if he had suffered some kind of blow.
"I didn't say that. That's what the Spirit Hall told me."
"The reason I said it was five or six hundred years old is that I sold the Crimson Fire Flame Dragon's meat to them, and they told me."
"Perhaps... they don't even know the Crimson Fire Flame Dragon's true age..."
Actually, Fei really wanted to say those words to Tang San.
Yes, yes, yes!
Everything you say is right!
Whether Fei's explanation had been relatively reasonable or not, Tang San's expression improved somewhat.
What Fei said makes sense too! After all, not everyone is as intelligent and wise as my teacher.
However, when he sensed the fluctuations of Soul Power from Fei's Soul Ring, he found it difficult to calm down.
He felt that the Soul Power fluctuations from Fei's Soul Ring were considerably stronger than those from his four-hundred-year-old Mandala Snake Soul Ring.
"It's done!" Seeing that the roast had turned golden on both sides, crisp on the outside and tender within, Fei eagerly stuffed it into his mouth.
"Let me have a taste!"
Food this good was not something Nuoding Junior Academy could provide.
"Wait! Give me some!" Xiao Wu stamped her feet anxiously.
Fei glanced at Xiao Wu, then at Tang San, utterly speechless.
These days, even secretly eating something delicious wasn't peaceful.
They had been eating his food and drinking his drinks every day, and now they wanted to eat his private meal too!
How outrageous!
"This is yours!" Fei took out a knife, cut off a piece, and gave Xiao Wu a palm-sized chunk of meat.
Then Fei looked at Tang San.
"You..."
"I'll pass. You two eat it yourselves." Tang San shook his head.
"Perfect!" The corners of Fei's mouth lifted slightly as he picked up the roast and tore into it. "Mmm... roast cooked well-done like this is the best! Crispy on the outside and tender inside—delicious..."
Seeing Fei and Xiao Wu eating with relish, while the aroma in the air also teased his taste buds, Tang San's mouth immediately filled with saliva. He forcibly held it back and stopped it from spilling out.
He had been in this world for six years.
When he was young, it had been sour goat's milk.
