This Soft Rice Is Mine for the Taking!

"Committee Member Meng Shenji, are there any Nine Heart Begonia Spirit Masters in these three classes?"

"I heard that the healing abilities of Nine Heart Begonia Spirit Masters are unmatched in the Spirit Master World."

"I feel that it would be better for my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to develop toward the Life Attribute."

"Since Nine Heart Begonia Spirit Masters excel at healing, the spirit rings they absorb should also possess the Life Attribute."

"Perhaps I can ask her about Plant Spirit Beasts with the Life Attribute."

Inside the committee members' office.

Although his target was Dugu Yan, it was difficult to mention Dugu Yan's name directly.

Ye Yu could only use Ye Lingling as cover, asking with a curious expression.

He felt that since Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were best friends.

There was a high chance the two were in the same class.

"A Nine Heart Begonia Spirit Master?"

"Our Royal Academy does indeed have a Nine Heart Begonia Spirit Master. Do you want to be placed in the same class as her?"

Meng Shenji said with a chuckle.

"Yes!"

Ye Yu nodded earnestly.

"She's in Class One of the first year, so I'll place you there!"

"Remember to come to class tomorrow morning."

The next day soon arrived.

That morning, after arriving at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Ye Yu went to the committee members' office and found Meng Shenji.

Meng Shenji brought Ye Yu to the office of the first-year teachers in the Intermediate Spirit Master Academy district.

He introduced Ye Yu to Lin Zhiming, the Soul Emperor and homeroom teacher of Class One, first year.

Just before class began.

Lin Zhiming brought Ye Yu to the classroom and introduced him from the podium.

"Students, let me introduce a new classmate to you."

"This is Ye Yu. He'll be attending Class One from now on."

"Welcome him!"

For a moment, all the students began applauding.

Many of them looked at Ye Yu curiously.

After all, the enrollment period had already passed.

Yet Ye Yu had managed to enroll now. His background must be extraordinary!

Standing on the podium, Ye Yu looked over his classmates and found quite a few beauties among them.

However, he could not immediately identify Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

But after observing more closely, he noticed that two girls sitting together were most likely Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

These two girls.

One wore a fitted blue leather skirt, with short dark-purple hair and emerald-like eyes. Her features were delicate and striking, with a hint of heroic spirit.

The other wore an elegant blue gown, with long dark-blue hair falling over her shoulders. Her long bangs partially covered her eyes, and her gentle, breathtakingly beautiful face was filled with cool detachment. She appeared quiet and reserved.

"Ye Yu, choose an empty seat."

After introducing Ye Yu, Lin Zhiming had him choose an empty desk in the classroom.

Ye Yu directly chose the seat closest to the two girls he believed to be Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

"Now, let's begin class."

After arranging Ye Yu's seat, homeroom teacher Lin Zhiming immediately began teaching.

As the homeroom teacher, Lin Zhiming was responsible for teaching Battle Spirit Masters how to use their own spirit skills in combat.

For example, how different types of Battle Spirit Masters could defeat different types of enemies as quickly and effectively as possible when equipped with different spirit skills.

After listening through the lesson, Ye Yu found it quite useful.

After class was dismissed.

Some curious male students nearby came over to ask about Ye Yu's background.

To this, Ye Yu could only helplessly explain that he really had no special background.

He had merely happened to render some merit. With the help of His Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty had granted him the title of baron, allowing him to enroll at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Naturally, the curious male students all looked unconvinced.

At that moment, Ye Yu noticed that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had already risen from their seats in front and left. Pretending to be curious, he asked.

"Hey, what are the names of those two female students?"

"Them? Hehe, they're Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling."

"They come from the Jade Phosphorous Family and the Nine Heart Begonia Family respectively. Both are renowned Soul Grandmaster families!"

"In our Class One of the first year, they're recognized as the class beauties!"

One male student said with a sigh.

So they really were Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling?

A glint flashed through Ye Yu's eyes as he continued asking about Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

He was preparing to analyze Dugu Yan's personality.

To see how best to win her over.

No matter what, this soft rice was his for the taking!

Through the descriptions of several classmates.

The image of Dugu Yan in Ye Yu's mind gradually became clearer.

According to the students, both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were rather aloof.

But Dugu Yan's aloofness leaned more toward arrogance and keeping strangers at a distance.

As for Ye Lingling, hers was the quiet, melancholic sort of aloofness.

But Ye Yu felt that cool detachment suited Ye Lingling better.

However, although he now knew Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's general personalities.

If he wanted to win Dugu Yan over, he still needed to find the best point of entry.

So Ye Yu continued quietly observing Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's habits at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Gradually, an idea formed in his mind.

He discovered that after Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan finished their morning classes at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

They would sometimes return to Heaven Dou Imperial City in the afternoon.

But most of the time, the two girls would go to the Martial Soul Mimic Training Ground to cultivate.

Sometimes, Ye Lingling would leave early and go to the library to read.

As it happened, Ye Yu was also quite interested in Heaven Dou Royal Academy's library.

Therefore, after finishing his morning classes at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Ye Yu chose to spend every afternoon reading in the library, focusing on books related to Spirit Beasts.

Especially books related to Plant Spirit Beasts.

And by coincidence.

Ye Yu discovered that Ye Lingling also often read books about Plant Spirit Beasts.

Since they ran into each other so often.

The two naturally became somewhat familiar.

Once he felt the time was right.

Ye Yu smiled apologetically and asked Ye Lingling whether the library had any books recording Plant Spirit Beasts with the Life Attribute.

Ye Lingling nodded, indicating that it did.

Then, she led Ye Yu to a section of bookshelves.

She took out a book from one of them and handed it to Ye Yu, saying in a cool voice.

"Here."

"Thank you."

Ye Yu nodded politely and began reading the book.

He found that it did indeed contain records of many powerful Plant Spirit Beasts with the Life Attribute.

They perfectly suited Ye Yu's needs.

This made him read with great focus.

"Is your Martial Soul also a healing-type support Martial Soul?"

Seeing how intently Ye Yu was reading, a trace of curiosity surfaced on Ye Lingling's delicate, cool face as she asked.

Generally speaking, aside from healing-type Support System Spirit Masters.

Few people paid attention to Plant Spirit Beasts with the Life Attribute.

"No, my Martial Soul isn't a healing-type support Martial Soul. It's merely a plant Martial Soul!"

Ye Yu smiled faintly and shook his head.

"But I feel that if my Martial Soul absorbs a suitable spirit ring from a Life Attribute Plant Spirit Beast, it may be able to evolve."

"So even though my cultivation has already reached level 10, I still haven't gone to hunt a spirit ring."

"Because I want to choose the most suitable target Spirit Beast."

"Can absorbing a suitable spirit ring allow a Martial Soul to evolve?"

Ye Lingling's dark brows furrowed slightly on her cool face. She felt that Ye Yu was lying.

"I've never heard of such a thing!"
