Hearing this, Xiao Ze sensed his First Soul Skill.

Suddenly, a strange look appeared on Xiao Ze's face.

The principal thought Xiao Ze's First Soul Skill was poor and immediately comforted him. "Xiao Ze, the First Soul Skill isn't that important. What matters is the use of your Martial Soul. We'll have more opportunities later."

Xiao Ze shook his head slightly. "Principal Grandpa, it's not that. It's just a little unexpected."

"What is it?" the principal asked curiously.

This was also the first time he had seen a Martial Soul like Xiao Ze's.

Hoes were common, but an Earth Spirit was something he had never seen in his life.

"Principal Grandpa, my First Soul Skill is called Pioneering. It can open up a large area of farmland in my Sea of Consciousness for planting."

"In the Sea of Consciousness? Planting?"

The principal understood both words separately, but why did they sound so strange together?

"Xiao Ze, I think your First Soul Skill is unusual. You must know that, to a Soul Master, the Sea of Consciousness is second only to the Dantian.

If the Sea of Consciousness is destroyed, the Soul Master will suffer brain death as well.

So since your soul skill can open up farmland in the Sea of Consciousness, it must be no ordinary soul skill."

Hearing this, Xiao Ze nodded heavily. He had been confused at first too. Farming inside his own head? That was something else.

"Principal Grandpa, let's go back first. I'll buy some seeds and try it out."

"Alright."

The principal was also looking forward to seeing what Xiao Ze's Martial Soul could do. There was probably only one Earth Spirit like this in the entire world.

Before long, the two returned to Nuoding City.

The principal brought Xiao Ze to Spirit Hall in Nuoding City.

Spirit Hall was a grand domed building, extremely luxurious.

"Principal Xiao, are you bringing a student to Spirit Hall to test his Soul Power?" The two guards at the entrance knew the principal.

Nuoding Academy was the only Soul Master Academy in Nuoding City.

So the principal's surname was Xiao?

This was the first time Xiao Ze had learned the principal's surname.

"Yes, this child has already obtained his first Soul Ring. He should come register."

"Please enter."

Principal Xiao was familiar with Spirit Hall and led Xiao Ze to Master Ma Xiunuo's room.

"Principal Xiao."

"Master Ma Xiunuo."

"Hello, Grandfather Ma Xiunuo."

Ma Xiunuo smiled. "Child, come."

He led Xiao Ze to the Martial Soul appraisal area.

Xiao Ze placed his hand on the Crystal Ball, and it suddenly lit up with a dazzling radiance.

"Level thirteen? Child, what Soul Beast did you absorb? How did you reach Level 13 Soul Power?"

Ma Xiunuo's face was full of surprise.

"It was just Blue Silver Grass."

"It seems your first Soul Ring Age is not low. But I can't tell what use your Martial Soul has." It was Ma Xiunuo's first time seeing an Earth Spirit.

"Grandfather Ma Xiunuo, I'll study it properly."

"Mm, good child."

After receiving Spirit Hall's subsidy,

Xiao Ze left Spirit Hall.

"Xiao Ze, if you want to buy all kinds of seeds, come here." Principal Xiao brought Xiao Ze before a shop.

Its name was Old Li's Department Store.

"Old Li."

"Oh... Principal Xiao, what a rare guest." A middle-aged man hurriedly stood up.

"Cut the nonsense. Get the child some seeds."

"Hm? What does a Soul Master need seeds for?" Old Li was baffled.

"You don't need to worry about that."

"Alright."

Old Li immediately gathered all kinds of seeds for Xiao Ze, including wheat, rice, potatoes, and more.

Douluo Continent was still quite rich in produce.

After returning to Nuoding Academy, Xiao Ze went straight back to the Seventh Dormitory.

"Xiao Ze, where did you go with the principal today?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

Xiao Ze raised his head slightly. "To obtain a Soul Ring."

"What? You're Level 10?" Tang San suddenly appeared, startling Xiao Ze.

"What is it?"

"Aren't you Innate Level 2 Spirit Power?"

"That's right."

"You rose eight levels in three years with Innate Level 2 Spirit Power?" Tang San's face was full of disbelief.

"Mm."

Xiao Ze had no interest in dealing with Tang San. Right now, all he wanted was to start hoeing the fields in his head.

"So fast?"

Tang San was bewildered. He had the Mysterious Heaven Skill, yet he only advanced around three levels a year. Why did it feel like Xiao Ze, who didn't have the Mysterious Heaven Skill, had the same talent as him?

Could he be trash too?

No... impossible!

There had to be something wrong with Xiao Ze.

Tang San didn't even speak to Xiao Wu before leaving the dormitory.

Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, was not surprised. He had witnessed Xiao Ze's hard work.

But he still believed Xiao Ze was trash. On the path of a Soul Master, effort alone was useless.

One also had to look at the Martial Soul.

What use was an Earth Spirit?

Could it enhance someone? Could it fight?

It could do neither. In Tang Hao's eyes, it was even worse than Blue Silver Grass.

"What? You're saying Xiao Ze has already obtained a Soul Ring?" Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San before him in disbelief.

"Yes, Teacher. Is he really Innate Level 2 Spirit Power?" Tang San couldn't understand it.

An Innate Full Soul Power genius like him had the same talent as someone with Innate Level 2 Spirit Power. What did that make him?

Did that make him mongrel trash?

Yu Xiaogang frowned. Suddenly, he thought of something and immediately grew confident. "He must be an Evil Soul Master!"

"An Evil Soul Master?"

"Xiao San, not all Soul Masters in this world are righteous. Some use special abilities to increase their Soul Power, such as devouring flesh and blood or killing people.

Soul Masters like that are Evil Soul Masters."

"Generally speaking, Evil Soul Masters increase their Soul Power very quickly." As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he became increasingly confident.

I refuse to believe that trash with Innate Level 2 Spirit Power can have better talent than me, a theoretical master with Innate Level 0.5 Spirit Power.

Tang San suddenly understood and nodded heavily.

"Teacher, I think so too. Xiao Ze runs outside every day. Maybe he's going out to cultivate some evil technique."

"Let's go! We'll expose his true face as an Evil Soul Master."

"Yes!" Tang San looked thoroughly righteous.

At the same time,

Xiao Ze looked at the boundless silver-blue space around him, slightly astonished.

"So this is my Sea of Consciousness."

This was Xiao Ze's first time entering his Sea of Consciousness through inner vision.

"Then let's begin."

Xiao Ze used his First Soul Skill and selected an area. Suddenly, nine plots of farmland appeared there, all of them Black Earth.

One large area was equivalent to nine small plots.

And upon reaching the second ring, Xiao Ze would be able to open up a second large area.

"None of these fields have been plowed. I still have to do it myself. It really is Black Earth." Xiao Ze was almost amused to death by his own Martial Soul.

"How should I hoe the ground?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ze suddenly remembered that he was inside the Sea of Consciousness. What was abundant here?

Naturally, Spiritual Power.

Although Xiao Ze's Spiritual Power was not particularly strong, nourished by Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, it still surpassed Soul Masters of the same realm.

It was even comparable to that of a Spirit Master.

Silver light flashed through Xiao Ze's eyes.

A hoe forged from Spiritual Power appeared.

Xiao Ze immediately began hoeing the ground.

The results were quite good. His speed was also far faster than in reality.

"Xiao Ze, you Evil Soul Master, get out here right now!!"
