The Young Genius Ranking's Number One: Fallen Angel and Life Angel

"Young Master, why have you come?"

The admissions teacher rose to greet him, a slightly ingratiating smile on his face.

The person before him was the Pavilion Master's brother-in-law, the Beloved Younger Brother of Saint Spirit, and the publicly recognized number one genius of the Inner Court.

Even as a teacher, he did not dare show the slightest negligence.

After all, in terms of status, this young man stood far above an ordinary academy teacher like him.

Ling Luo gave a slight nod in response, then said calmly,

"Teacher Lin, leave this student to me. My brother-in-law has already informed you."

Brother-in-law?

Hearing that this was the Sea God Pavilion Master's request, how could Teacher Lin dare question it?

He nodded repeatedly. "Understood. Then I'll leave her to you, Young Master."

Ling Luo withdrew his gaze and turned to Yuanen Yehui, who was dressed as a boy.

"Come with me. Don't disrupt the regular admissions process."

Yuanen Yehui nodded blankly and followed him.

At the same time, she could not help feeling curious.

Who was this youth? Why did that Shrek teacher treat him with such respect?

And from their conversation regarding her Fallen Angel Martial Soul, this youth seemed able to make the decision himself.

Yet even the Shrek teacher in charge of admissions clearly lacked that authority and needed to consult Shrek Academy's higher-ups.

Before she knew it, Yuanen Yehui had followed Ling Luo and the other two into a room.

"Have a seat."

Ling Luo sat down and gestured for Yuanen Yehui to take the seat across from him.

Na'er naturally sat beside him.

Ye Xinglan pursed her red lips. After hesitating for a moment, she sat on Ling Luo's other side.

However, unlike Na'er's natural closeness, there was clearly some distance between her and Ling Luo.

Seemingly noticing the curiosity in Yuanen Yehui's eyes, Ling Luo smiled faintly.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ling Luo."

"The one on the left is Na'er, and the one on the right is Ye Xinglan. They are both disciples of the Inner Court."

"Ling Luo?"

Upon hearing that name, Yuanen Yehui found it somewhat familiar, as though she had heard it somewhere before.

The next moment, her beautiful eyes widened.

"You're Ling Luo, the number one on the Young Genius Ranking?!"

The Young Genius Ranking was a list released by the Spirit Pagoda.

It ranked young Soul Masters under the age of eighteen based on their cultivation, Martial Souls, and Second Professions.

Among the many rankings in the Soul Master World, it was considered one of the most authoritative.

Many Soul Masters regarded the Young Genius Ranking as the ranking of the younger generation of Soul Masters.

Due to Yun Ming's training policy for him, Ling Luo had not concealed much aside from the Matter of Twin God King Seeds.

With his terrifying achievement of becoming a Soul Emperor at Twelve years old, he had undisputedly occupied the top spot on the Young Genius Ranking.

Na'er ranked third.

Second place belonged to Disciple of Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Gu Yue from the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

This was also the first time Ling Luo had learned information about Another Silver Dragon King Split Soul.

Just as Na'er's development had diverged from the Original Work, Gu Yue's path had diverged as well.

She had not appeared in Eastsea City either. Instead, she had remained in the Spirit Pagoda and become the disciple of Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu.

Na'er had always been rather unconvinced about ranking below Gu Yue.

She believed Gu Yue ranked above her only because Gu Yue was now a Person from Spirit Pagoda, and the ranking itself was released by the Spirit Pagoda.

Yuanen Yehui did not actually know much about the Young Genius Ranking.

However, she had some impression of Ling Luo, the person in first place.

It was said that this person's background seemed to be connected to the Sea God Pavilion Master.

At this point, Yuanen Yehui more or less understood why the admissions teacher had treated Ling Luo with such respect, and why he had the authority to make the decision.

"It's just an empty reputation. There's no need to care about it." Ling Luo chuckled softly.

He did not say much more on the subject and instead continued.

"The Pavilion Master has already been informed of your situation."

"The Fallen Angel Martial Soul is indeed rather special, but the academy does not consider it part of the Evil Soul Master category."

"Welcome to the academy."

Under Yuanen Yehui's nervous gaze, Ling Luo smiled and extended his hand.

Yuanen Yehui had not expected things to go so smoothly.

No matter how she looked at it, given the special nature of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul, Shrek Academy should have deliberated for some time before making a decision, or at the very least observed her for a while.

Still feeling as though this was unreal, Yuanen Yehui dazedly took Ling Luo's outstretched hand.

Just as Ling Luo had said, Yun Ming knew about Yuanen Yehui's situation.

The disaster that had occurred in the Yuanen Family because of Yuanen Yehui's mother had been resolved with the help of Shrek powerhouses led by Yun Ming.

At first, because he was wary of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul, Yun Ming had indeed believed Yuanen Yehui should be observed for a period of time first.

However, Ling Luo had raised an objection.

He believed that since Yuanen Yehui possessed Twin Martial Souls, the Fallen Angel Martial Soul's influence on her would not be as great as it had been on her mother, who possessed only the Fallen Angel Martial Soul.

Moreover, Yuanen Yehui's talent was beyond question.

Whether it was the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul or the Fallen Angel Martial Soul, both were unquestionably top-tier Martial Souls.

Ling Luo believed that with such talent, she should not be wasted because of caution.

More importantly...

Ling Luo felt that he might be able to resolve the drawbacks of Yuanen Yehui's Fallen Angel Martial Soul.

If, in the future, he could use the Twin God King Seeds as a foundation to forge his own God Position and establish a God Realm,

then talents like Yuanen Yehui, if he could bring them to his side, could become an excellent foundation for his future.

There were only two drawbacks to the Fallen Angel Martial Soul.

First, under intense emotional fluctuations, its wielder would lose their reason and become demonized.

Second, after breaking through to Titled Douluo, the special connection within the Martial Soul would draw the Demon Plane's descent.

Ling Luo had ideas for resolving both issues.

Now, he was going to verify his first hypothesis.

"Student Yuanen, please release your Fallen Angel Martial Soul."

Hearing this, Yuanen Yehui hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.

A faint black mist emerged over the surface of her body.

Bewitching black Wings spread out behind her.

As the Fallen Angel Martial Soul was released, the dark elemental aura in the air grew noticeably denser.

Ye Xinglan frowned slightly.

Ordinary living beings instinctively felt resistance toward dark elements.

"So this is the Fallen Angel..."

White Wings unfolded behind Ling Luo.

Under Yuanen Yehui's astonished gaze, an even more powerful life aura surged forth with almost irresistible force, forcibly suppressing the dark aura brought by her Fallen Angel Martial Soul.

That life aura was so pure it was terrifying. Everyone's pores relaxed, and they felt refreshed, as though immersed in a warm spring.

Life Angel.

Yuanen Yehui had previously only heard that the Martial Soul of the person ranked first on the Young Genius Ranking was a special Angel Martial Soul called the Life Angel, something never before seen on the continent.

Today, she saw it with her own eyes and gained a far deeper understanding of it.

The quality of this Life Angel Martial Soul was clearly above her own Fallen Angel!
