Hundred... Hundred-Year Soul Ring

"Hundred..."

"Hundred, hundred..."

"Hundred-Year Soul Ring!"

The noble students were so shocked that they stood dumbfounded, their mouths wide enough to fit an egg.

In their impression, there were not many students whose first Soul Ring was a hundred years old. Although Nuoding City was a small city on Douluo Continent, its geographical location left it starved of resources. Even the Spirit Hall there was merely the smallest-scale Branch Martial Soul Hall, and its chief overseer, Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, was already eighty years old.

Yet he was still a Soul Grandmaster, and he would likely remain stuck at that level for the rest of his life.

This was also why Salas, the bishop of Heaven Dou City's Martial Soul Holy Hall, did not believe a place like Nuoding City could produce someone with Innate Full Soul Power. What was more, the other party's Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass—something found everywhere. Even if he became a Soul Master in the future, he likely would not achieve much.

If no accident had occurred that day and Ye Hao's true information had been submitted, Salas would have been far more likely to believe it.

At this moment, Ye Hao probably would not be standing in Nuoding City, but in Spirit Hall, before her.

Ye Hao advanced step by step. The terrifying pressure, coupled with the vicious visage of the Death Spider Emperor, instantly left the noble students speechless. One after another, they collapsed to the ground, their legs trembling wildly.

Even Xiao Chenyu, the nobles' representative, could not help being startled. Good heavens, were this year's Work-Study Students all hidden experts? Someone whose first Soul Ring was a Hundred-Year Soul Ring—aside from the headmaster and Grandmaster, most of the academy's teachers started with Ten-Year Soul Rings. After all, Hundred-Year soul beasts were exceedingly difficult to capture.

Compared to a tiny place like Nuoding City, Soul Master resources were scarce. Even the Branch Martial Soul Hall had only a handful of people, with no one stronger than a Soul Grandmaster.

Take Grandmaster as an example. When facing the Mandala Snake, if Ye Hao and Tang San had not been there, Grandmaster might already have been excreted by the Mandala Snake by now.

Xiao Chenyu could become the boss with a Ten-Year Soul Ring. Nuoding City's Soul Master strength was probably rather lacking as well.

Death Spider Emperor Possession!

The next morning, outside Nuoding City, Ye Hao wore the School Uniform of Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy as he walked alone down the street.

Yesterday's farce between the Work-Study Students and the noble students had ended, yet on the second day, Ye Hao discovered that the noble students were actually fooling around with the Work-Study Students. The two sides got along on equal footing, and some Work-Study Students even went to the second floor to have breakfast with the nobles.

This development stunned not only Ye Hao, but also the academy headmaster, Grandmaster, and the others.

The academy had seen no shortage of fierce conflicts between the noble students and the Work-Study Students. Neither side had held back.

Who would have thought that Ye Hao's Death Spider Emperor Possession yesterday, combined with Tang San and Xiao Wu's respective Hundred-Year Soul Rings, would bring such a tremendous change? Three Work-Study Students, three Hundred-Year Soul Rings—it truly exceeded everyone's expectations.

As previously mentioned, after obtaining his first Soul Ring, Ye Hao needed to go to Nuoding City's Branch Martial Soul Hall to register his Martial Soul and receive the subsidy distributed by Spirit Hall.

Ye Hao was now all alone and merely a Work-Study Student. Though he did some cleaning around the academy and could earn a little money in his spare time, it was still far from enough and barely helped at all.

Now, Ye Hao only needed to undergo a Martial Soul assessment at the Branch Martial Soul Hall. Once it was complete, he would receive a substantial sum every month, enough to support his future daily life.

Tang San had said yesterday that he was going to work at a Blacksmith Shop in the city, apparently at his father's instruction.

Ye Hao shook his head. He was not a blacksmith. Working was impossible—absolutely impossible. He would never work a day in his life.

Before long, Ye Hao arrived before Nuoding City's Branch Martial Soul Hall. Thinking back to five days ago, he had been nothing more than someone who had just transmigrated, been abandoned by the system, and left wandering the streets. Now, he had transformed into the academy's favored prodigy—the true "boss." The thought was rather amusing. What had happened over those five days was enough to overturn anyone's understanding.

Because of yesterday's events, Xiao Chenyu and his group had completely wilted. They obeyed Xiao Wu in every way and did not dare slack off in the slightest.

The same went for Ye Hao. Having witnessed Ye Hao's terrifying side, Xiao Chenyu and the others had been thoroughly convinced. No one wanted to recall what had happened yesterday.

"Stop. This is the Branch Martial Soul Hall. Unauthorized people are not allowed inside."

As usual, the guards blocked Ye Hao's path.

Ye Hao's mouth twitched. Why was it always the same line? Could they not come up with something fresher?

"Uncles, don't you remember me? Five days ago..."

The two guards exchanged glances. This person was wearing the uniform of Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, and why did he look so familiar?

Five days ago...

"Oh—"

"I remember now. So it's you."

The guard suddenly realized. "Your name is Ye Hao, right? Five days ago, Grandmaster Su Yuntao awakened your Martial Soul. I was the one who personally led you inside. Look at my memory. Little brother Ye Hao, what brings you here?"

Ye Hao smiled faintly. "Uncle, is Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo here? I would like to undergo a Martial Soul assessment."

"He is, he is. Just go right in. Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo is in the same room as before."

After saying that, the two guards opened the gate. Ye Hao thanked them and walked straight into the Branch Martial Soul Hall.

After passing through the spacious corridor and going around one room after another, Ye Hao familiarly arrived at Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo's door.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

Ye Hao politely knocked on the door. The next moment, an aged voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Ye Hao pushed open the door and entered. Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo was writing something at his desk. Upon seeing Ye Hao arrive, Ma Xiunuo subconsciously rubbed his eyes. After confirming that it was Ye Hao, he immediately revealed a kindly smile.

"Isn't this Ye Hao? It has been five days. What brings you to the Branch Martial Soul Hall today?"

Ma Xiunuo always kept a smile for Ye Hao. His attitude was completely different from Su Yuntao's, who had no manners and simply pushed open the door.

Likewise, the letter Ma Xiunuo had written regarding Ye Hao had already been sent to Heaven Dou City's Martial Soul Holy Hall. Before long, those important figures from the Holy Hall would likely come to take Ye Hao away.

It would be good to build a relationship now, so there would be an extra safeguard in the future, would it not?
