A Kindhearted Misunderstanding

Ye Hao was completely baffled. Was there something wrong with this Rabbit?

Son?

Death Spider Emperor, her?

Wait, could it be that incident?

Ye Hao retracted his spider spears. The black armor on his chest vanished, and his face returned to normal as he released Xiao Wu.

"I don't know what you're talking about. In any case, I've been an orphan since childhood. If you don't believe me, you can ask Tang San."

Tang San was slightly taken aback. "That's right. Ye Hao came here with me."

Still shaken, Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San. The boy looked honest enough and probably wasn't lying.

"Then... then why is your martial soul... why is it..."

Xiao Wu continued questioning him. Ye Hao's martial soul was the same as that woman's. For some reason, whenever Xiao Wu looked at Ye Hao, she couldn't help recalling that woman's appearance from that night. The memory was etched deeply in her mind!

The two of them looked as though they had been cast from the same mold. Anyone who had seen them might even think they were mother and son. That was the power of the Life Simulation System. Unfortunately, the system had run off, leaving Ye Hao all alone...

Ye Hao said, "The world is vast and full of wonders. There are countless types of martial souls. Although I don't know who you're talking about, I can tell you with certainty that you're not the only person in the world with a rabbit martial soul. Please don't jump to conclusions."

Ye Hao knew exactly who Xiao Wu was referring to.

It seemed he had judged a gentleman by his own petty standards. Xiao Wu's face flushed red with embarrassment.

"I... I'm sorry. I... I mistook you for someone else."

If no one offended him, he would not offend them.

Ye Hao immediately rolled his eyes at Xiao Wu. You were the one who attacked first. If he could, he would have slaughtered her long ago and turned her into a soul ring. Why would he have let her live until now? It was simply because he had yet to reach the limit for absorbing a soul ring.

Ye Hao snorted. "You can still be the boss of Seventh Dormitory. I'm not interested in your childish games. Don't disturb me if there's nothing important."

Everyone had witnessed Ye Hao's strength firsthand, so naturally, none of them dared provoke him. Seeing the mess on the floor, they quickly understood and began cleaning it up. The Work-Study Student Dormitory had been provided by the academy. If the teachers learned of what had happened today, they would inevitably be punished.

The strong were welcomed wherever they went. Tang San remained calm as he chose a bed near Ye Hao's and sat down. Looking at Ye Hao lying on his side, countless thoughts rose in his heart. So this was what a true hidden powerhouse looked like!

(Ye Hao: Yes, yes, yes! You are! You are!)

"Ye Hao, Tang San, come collect your bedding."

The door opened softly. All traces of the earlier battle between Ye Hao and Xiao Wu had vanished without a trace, and the two teachers delivering the bedding noticed nothing unusual.

"Thank you."

Ye Hao answered indifferently, took his bedding, and returned to his bed on his own. Before long, Grandmaster should take him to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt soul beasts.

Death Spider Emperor, Soul Devouring Spider Emperor... he could not be reckless with his first soul ring. It was better to safely absorb a Hundred-Year Soul Ring. Although this body had been refined by the system, absorbing soul rings still required careful consideration.

It would be best if he encountered spider-type soul beasts, such as a Man Faced Demon Spider or a Death Demon Spider. Only soul rings like those would truly suit him.

With nothing to do, Ye Hao lay back leisurely, narrowing his eyes as he watched Xiao Wu toss her bundle onto Tang San's bed.

They really were a pair. They had not even grown up yet, and they were already living together. Was this some sort of boy-raising plan?

In the blink of an eye, it was time for lunch.

Ye Hao was a work-study student. If he had agreed to Su Yuntao's request earlier, he would have been among those eating on the second floor.

Walking through the spacious dining hall, Ye Hao glanced at a boy only a few years older than himself, dressed in luxurious clothes and rolling his eyes at him. Ye Hao shook his head inwardly. There was plenty of time ahead...

Xiao Wu had a stubborn temperament. If no one had stopped her, the people lying down would probably have been the few upstairs.

Things like this were perfectly normal at the academy. The soul master world was like this now: nobles looked down on commoners, and without Spirit Hall's help awakening their martial souls, the profession of soul master might have faded into obscurity altogether.

Even a humble nest could produce a golden phoenix, and a carp would one day become a dragon.

The food was plain and ordinary. To Ye Hao, it was hardly delicious, but food that filled his stomach was good food.

Throughout the meal, Xiao Wu kept staring at the second floor, quietly competing with them in her heart. Rabbit was not someone to be provoked—she might hold a grudge.

Seeing this, Tang San shook his head with a bitter smile. Having already lived a Second Life, his mentality was no longer that of a child. He had no time for such petty squabbles.

During his spare moments, Tang San turned his gaze toward Ye Hao. After watching him for a while, he could not help nodding. He was as steady as ever, utterly unflappable. This person was not simple! He could only be befriended, never made an enemy.

Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City—the capital of a nation.

At the very center of Heaven Dou City stood a majestic building. This was the Martial Soul Holy Hall, second only to the Pope's Palace in status. There were only two Martial Soul Holy Halls on the continent, each located in the capital of one of the Two Empires.

The bishop in charge of Heaven Dou City's Martial Soul Holy Hall was named Salas. At that moment, he sat before a broad desk on a gilded throne, where a letter sent by Ma Xiunuo lay before him.

Salas found this quite irritating.

"Innate Full Soul Power?"

Salas's eyes lit up. In a godforsaken place like Nuoding City, someone with Innate Full Soul Power had actually appeared?

Salas understood perfectly what Innate Full Soul Power signified. This was a major matter. In recent years, Spirit Hall had been developing at full speed, and recruiting and making good use of talent was indispensable. Innate Full Soul Power?

"Blue..."

Salas rubbed his eyes. Could he have seen it wrong?

"Tang San? Innate Full Soul Power, martial soul..."

"Blue... Blue Silver Grass?"

"What kind of joke is this? Since when did Blue Silver Grass have Innate Full Soul Power?"

"This is getting more and more outrageous. How could a useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass possibly possess Innate Full Soul Power? Hmph!"

"Teacher, are we going to obtain a Soul Ring tomorrow? Isn't that a little soon?"

Tang San sat in Grandmaster's office. As he listened to what Grandmaster had told him, an inexplicable excitement welled up inside him. Ever since coming to this world, he had never stopped cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Yet for some reason, no matter how hard he tried, he still could not break through the first bottleneck.

Perhaps it was because this world differed from his original one. Once he obtained his first Soul Ring, perhaps the bottleneck of the Mysterious Heaven Skill would be broken through as well.

Little did he know that, far away in the Martial Soul Holy Hall of Heaven Dou City, his records had been placed on Spirit Hall's knife edge. After all, Salas was not the Pope and lacked such discerning judgment. Had it been someone else, whether Tang San could have survived even a single chapter was uncertain...
