Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, Ye Luo Breaks Through Level Ten

No matter what, you believed in me?

Ye Luo did not know whether to laugh or cry.

You understood it and believed me.

Did you truly believe that I was not buying this Whale Rubber for that sort of thing?

Or were you saying that you would unconditionally believe me in anything?

Thinking of how he had been purchasing Whale Rubber for a long time, if Qian Renxue truly wanted to know, there was no way he could hide it from her.

Ye Luo simply stopped pretending and came clean.

"Alright! Your Highness the Crown Prince, I bought this Whale Rubber for myself."

"Earlier today, I saw a book in the Royal Academy library that introduced Whale Rubber."

"I felt that Whale Rubber's effects were not limited to aphrodisiac and arousal-enhancing properties. It should also be able to improve a Soul Master's physical constitution."

"This time, I bought Whale Rubber to verify this guess!"

Ye Luo took a deep breath. He no longer looked for excuses and spoke frankly.

"I said that no matter what, I would believe you!"

Qian Renxue smiled slightly, her attitude unchanged.

"If you need Whale Rubber, Xiao Luo, I can help you obtain it."

"Do you need my help?"

"Uh..."

Ye Luo hesitated. He had not expected Qian Renxue to offer him another helping of soft rice.

Should he accept it or not?

But he quickly made his decision.

Accept it!

Why not?!

He could repay this favor in the future, once he had the ability.

For now, he was still weak.

For now, he had to seize every opportunity tightly!

"Alright!"

Ye Luo nodded and said,

"Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"I need higher-quality Whale Rubber, preferably thousand-year and ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber. Your Highness, please keep an eye out for it."

"However, I'm not a Fire Attribute Soul Master. Once you find suitable Whale Rubber, I'll have to trouble Your Highness to find a powerful Fire Attribute Soul Master to soften it."

"Don't worry!"

Qian Renxue smiled and replied.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

After waiting another seven days.

Qian Renxue had been in her room, preparing to summon the Simulator again and begin a simulation.

But this time, when she summoned the Light Screen formed by the Simulator,

two lines of golden text appeared on the Light Screen before her.

[The Simulator is currently upgrading...]

[Progress: 1%]

The Simulator was upgrading?

Qian Renxue froze for a moment before quickly realizing something.

Up to now, she had completed exactly ten simulations.

According to the Simulator's previous explanation, she had indeed met the conditions for an upgrade.

She simply had not expected the upgrade to take so long.

It had already been seven days, yet the progress bar was only at 1%.

At this rate, it would likely take more than a year to reach 100% and complete the upgrade.

For a moment, Qian Renxue felt somewhat empty inside.

Because before this, she had always been able to conduct simulations through the Simulator and make unlimited mistakes.

Now, she suddenly could not simulate anymore.

It really was difficult to get used to!

Elsewhere, after enrolling in Heaven Dou Royal Academy,

Ye Luo traveled every day from the Castle in Swan Territory to Heaven Dou Royal Academy in a carriage pulled by Mixed-blood Unicorn Horses.

He listened attentively in class during the morning.

In the afternoon, he would first spend several hours reading the library's collection.

Then, he would take the carriage back to Swan Territory.

At the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul Simulated Training Ground behind the Castle, he cultivated through the Blue Silver Grass Meditation Method.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year passed.

Over those six months.

Ye Luo came to the library every afternoon to read. He also unexpectedly discovered that two young girls often came to the library together.

However, the books they read were mainly related to martial souls.

The two girls both appeared to be eleven or twelve years old.

One wore a gorgeous purple gown. She was tall and slender, with long blue hair tied high up. Her features were exquisite and beautiful, full of heroic spirit, giving her a dashing and valiant air.

The other wore a loose black gown that concealed her graceful figure. Her waterfall-like Deep Blue hair draped over her shoulders, and her long bangs covered her eyes. She had delicate features and a cold, aloof temperament.

Though he had not known them at first, after curiously asking around,

Ye Luo quickly learned the identities of the two girls.

They were precisely Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, the ones he had been looking for!

Although Ye Luo wanted to get acquainted with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling just like other Transmigrators did,

win over Dugu Yan and become her boyfriend,

then feed Dugu Bo the Immortal Herb code and obtain the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

But after looking at his current thin arms and legs, Ye Luo gave up.

He was only six years old. Was he supposed to date Dugu Yan?

Wasn't that a joke?!

The best approach was to become friends with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling first.

And since they both liked reading in the library,

with the same interests and hobbies, Ye Luo felt that becoming friends with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling should not be difficult.

As long as he took it slowly, it would happen naturally.

Yu Xiaogang was an example of this!

Although Ye Luo greatly disliked Yu Xiaogang, looked down on him, and even held him in some contempt,

he only despised Yu Xiaogang's abilities and character.

But when it came to romance,

Ye Luo had to admit that he greatly admired Yu Xiaogang.

After all, Yu Xiaogang was not particularly handsome, while his cultivation and strength were an absolute mess. He could practically be called worthless.

Yet he had managed to win over Bibi Dong, the Saintess of Martial Soul Hall, making her willing to betray Spirit Hall just to be with him.

Later, he had also won over Liu Erlong.

He made Liu Erlong, his younger female cousin, wait for him for more than twenty years without ever giving up.

His romantic skills were truly terrifying!

And because Ye Luo was young, fairly handsome and cute, sweet-tongued, and knew how to speak well,

after frequently running into them while reading in the library,

Ye Luo naturally acted cute and took the initiative to get acquainted with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were quite friendly and did not refuse him.

As they chatted more and more often,

Ye Luo became friends with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Of course, in Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's eyes, rather than a friend, Ye Luo was more like a sweet-talking and adorable little brother.

And over these six months, under Ye Luo's development,

the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul Simulated Training Ground behind the Castle had grown increasingly larger. Nourished by fertilizer made from Soul Beast corpses, the planted Blue Silver Grass rapidly increased in age and became ever more lush.

This also made the cultivation effects of Ye Luo's Blue Silver Grass Meditation Method better and better.

Therefore, in less than a year,

Ye Luo successfully broke through to become a level-ten Soul Scholar!

That day, at the Blue Silver Grass Simulated Training Ground.

Amid rings of incomparably lush Blue Silver Grass fields, Ye Luo sat cross-legged with his eyes tightly closed, cultivating the Blue Silver Grass Meditation Method.

A vast amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth continuously converged from all directions.

And after Ye Luo's repeated attempts, the bottleneck was finally broken through.

His aura suddenly surged. He abruptly opened his eyes and clenched his fists, his clear little face filled with excitement and joy.

"I finally broke through!"
