A Year Passed, Level 10 Soul Power!

"What's your name?"

Li Fei asked.

"My name is Wang Hu. My Martial Soul is the Earth Tiger, and I'm currently at Level 4 Soul Power," the young man said.

"My name is Li Fei. My Martial Soul is a willow tree, and I'm currently at Level 3 Soul Power," Li Fei said calmly.

"What!? You're only Level 3!?"

Wang Hu was stunned.

He had actually been defeated by an opponent of a lower level than himself.

And that opponent's Martial Soul was the most ordinary willow tree...

His mentality nearly collapsed.

"What? Do you think it's humiliating to be defeated across levels by a Level 3 Plant Type Soul Master?" Li Fei's lips curled upward.

"This..." Although Wang Hu did not say it outright, it was obvious from his expression.

"I came here to study and cultivate, to become stronger. I'm not interested in being the boss."

"You can remain the boss of the Seventh Dorm."

"Don't come disturb my cultivation under normal circumstances."

As Li Fei spoke, the phantom of the willow tree withdrew into his body.

"We're just Work-Study Students. If we don't stick together, those upperclassmen will come bully us."

Wang Hu said, "That's why us Work-Study Students need the strongest person to step forward and lead everyone in resisting them."

"Although your Soul Power is lower than mine, you're stronger than me. So you're the strongest."

Wang Hu spoke dejectedly, lowering his head.

"How about this? We'll talk about it when they come looking for trouble."

Li Fei said calmly.

"Alright." Wang Hu nodded.

The two then entered the Seventh Dorm.

"Boss, how did it go?"

As soon as they entered, someone in the dormitory asked.

"I lost. He's your boss now, but he won't handle matters, so I'll still be the boss normally."

"Remember this: he's the big boss, and I'm the little boss."

"From now on, unless it's something important, don't disturb the big boss's cultivation!"

Wang Hu announced directly.

"Ah! Alright!"

Everyone was startled.

"Boss, we have a theory class next. Are you going?" Wang Hu asked.

"Yes." Li Fei's eyes lit up. He could finally learn about Soul Beasts.

They were in Class 107.

The entire morning was spent in class.

Li Fei listened attentively.

With his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, he quickly understood everything the teacher said.

At the same time, the teacher began teaching the newcomers the Beginner Soul Power Guidance Method.

It was a method that allowed one to better absorb and circulate Soul Power.

Li Fei began cultivating properly according to the Beginner Soul Power Guidance Method.

Sure enough, the Soul Power circulating slowly within his body visibly sped up.

That was the difference between having a cultivation method and not having one.

With his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, he also discovered that this Beginner Soul Power Guidance Method had many flaws. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he began modifying it within his body.

After the modification was complete, the perfected Beginner Soul Power Guidance Method increased the circulation of Soul Power by at least twice.

His speed of circulating and absorbing Soul Power was now at least double what it had been before!

He was not satisfied with the knowledge taught in class.

So from then on, he spent the daytime reading in the academy library.

At night, he meditated and cultivated on the grass, carrying out all kinds of practical experiments.

As for miscellaneous chores, he left them to Wang Hu, while he only took the money.

And so, he cultivated day after day.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed!

In the forest behind Notting City Primary Soul Master Academy.

The natural fragrance of plants filled the air.

The green willow tree emitted a faint, precious glow.

The surrounding Earth Energy and wood-attributed Life Energy were drawn in.

Li Fei's soul power had reached its peak.

He finally completed the final breakthrough!

He slowly opened his eyes. A flash of green energy passed through them, and a gratified smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Over the past year, he had cultivated tirelessly.

With the Perfect Beginner Soul Power Guidance Method, along with the support of the surrounding Earth Energy and wood-attributed Life Energy, his soul power had finally reached Level 10 Soul Power!

At that moment, no one was more thrilled or delighted than he was.

But he also understood that compared to higher-ranked soul masters, Level 10 Soul Power still placed him at the bottom of this world.

He could not grow complacent. He still had to keep his head down and develop quietly.

Until the day he astonished everyone.

"Once I obtain my First Soul Ring, I'll become a true One Ring Soul Master. Then I'll be able to go to Spirit Hall to obtain my First Soul Ring."

Li Fei slowly rose to his feet and withdrew his Willow Martial Soul.

"Next, I should apply to the academy and have them Hunt Soul Ring for me."

"The Willow Tree Growth Path I planned out can finally begin its first step!"

Li Fei's heart stirred.

Just thinking about raising an ordinary willow tree into Willow God filled him with excitement and a sense of accomplishment.

Although it was only a low-spec version, it would be more than sufficient for use in this world.

Headmaster Office.

Li Fei knocked on the door and entered.

A middle-aged man was reviewing files.

"Headmaster, I've broken through to Level 10 Soul Power. I'm applying to use the academy's opportunity to Hunt Soul Ring once," Li Fei said directly.

The middle-aged man looked Li Fei over in surprise. "I remember your martial soul is a willow tree, and your Innate Soul Power is Level 1, right?"

"Yes." Li Fei nodded.

"From the time you entered the academy until now, you've actually raised your soul power by nine levels in just one year! It seems your talent isn't bad. What a pity that your martial soul is a little too weak."

The middle-aged man sighed regretfully.

Over the past year, he had occasionally kept an eye on Li Fei and discovered that the boy was exceptionally diligent. He spent most of his time cultivating behind the mountain, working even harder than the others.

It was just a pity that his martial soul was too ordinary. If he had been given a martial soul even slightly better than a willow tree, becoming a Three Ring Soul Elder in the future would not have been a problem.

But with an ordinary willow tree, in his view, becoming a One Ring Soul Master was already the limit. Even if he was lucky enough to break through, reaching Soul Grandmaster at two rings would be the absolute ceiling.

"A weak martial soul isn't much of a problem, because I can improve my martial soul after awakening," Li Fei said.

"Oh? Let's hear it." The headmaster grew curious.

"I read every book in the academy and came to a conclusion. A martial soul that is innately weak can mutate through absorbing soul rings, but it's best if they're more than a hundred years old, because mutation requires a great deal of energy..."

Li Fei confidently laid out his conclusions.

After listening carefully, the headmaster was greatly shocked. "Good lad, you have your own insights. Your willow tree is already very ordinary, so you needn't fear it mutating for the worse. It's worth taking a gamble. If a miracle really happens, you'll have struck it rich."

"Yes. This Junior would like to ask the headmaster to make a move and obtain a soul ring around a hundred years old as my First Soul Ring. I want to personally use myself as an experiment."

"I'm sure the headmaster also wants to see the result, don't you?"

"Besides, the soul ring I need only has to be Plant Type. Plant Type is safer than Animal Type."

Li Fei said.

The headmaster nodded. "Mm, your words have indeed piqued my curiosity. I can agree to personally help you obtain your first Plant Type soul ring of around a hundred years."

"Make your preparations. We'll set out early tomorrow morning," the headmaster said.

"Alright. Thank You, Headmaster." Li Fei was delighted.

He then turned and left.

Yu Xiaogang's Ten Core Competition Theories had yet to appear.

Otherwise, he would have needed to waste more breath explaining himself.

Back in the dormitory, Li Fei saw that Wang Hu's right hand was wrapped in bandages. He was injured.

Frowning, he asked, "What happened?"

"Boss, you're done cultivating?"

"Some upperclassmen did this..."

Wang Hu explained everything that had happened.
