It was not only the Enjing Seven Women who sensed the commotion coming from the Back Mountain Forest.
Su Ru, who had been keeping watch over the Back Mountain Forest from her office, sensed it as well.
She had been waiting for Li Fei to emerge from seclusion so she could reach him immediately and discuss the apprenticeship ceremony with him.
"This tremor came from the Back Mountain Forest."
Su Ru's expression changed in alarm. She immediately leaped from the window, hovered low in the air, and flew toward the Back Mountain Forest. At the same time, she sent a message to the rest of the academy, telling them to stay where they were.
After reaching the Seven Ring Soul Sage realm, one could rely on precise control of Soul Power circulation to briefly hover above the ground.
It was simply extremely draining on Soul Power.
Most people chose to walk instead.
When she reached the Back Mountain Forest, Su Ru took in the entire mountain from her low altitude and revealed a shocked expression.
At that moment, the Back Mountain Forest was covered by several vines as thick as water buckets, forming a dense Vine Forest!
The next instant, all manner of small trees sprouted from the vines, eventually forming a Brand New forest.
"What is this?! How did the Back Mountain Forest become like this?!"
Su Ru was utterly dumbfounded.
Her gaze quickly locked onto the only untouched area in the center, where two Mongolian Yurts stood.
The Enjing Seven Women were inside them.
Li Fei was nowhere to be seen.
"Could Li Fei have caused this?"
Once she realized it, Su Ru's pupils widened.
It was difficult to imagine that a Soul Grandmaster could create such a massive disturbance!
Her figure swiftly descended in that direction.
At the same time, the vine forest vanished.
The Back Mountain Forest returned to its original appearance.
Enjing and Su Ru, the Eight Women, were all stunned.
"What exactly happened here?"
The moment Su Ru landed, she asked directly.
"Headmistress, we don't know either."
"But I think Li Fei did this."
Enjing and the others shook their heads in confusion.
In the end, all of them turned their gazes toward the Mongolian Yurt where Li Fei was.
Inside the Mongolian Yurt, Li Fei pressed his palms together.
He slowly let out a breath.
His face was somewhat pale.
That move just now, Wood Release: World of Trees Birth, had been modeled after Hashirama's ninjutsu from Naruto.
It was also one of his achievements from the past month.
Besides that ninjutsu, he had created others as well.
However, this one consumed comparatively more.
Wood Release: World of Trees Birth was also one of Hashirama's basic ninjutsu in Naruto.
If not for the special properties of the Yin Yang Soul Core and Yin Yang Willow, his Soul Power would not have been enough to support the use of this Self-Created Soul Skill. The consumption was simply too great, practically draining him dry in an instant.
However, this Self-Created Soul Skill had also inherited the effect of absorbing other people's Soul Power for his own use.
He simply had not used it on Enjing and the others, since they were not enemies.
Otherwise, he could have replenished his own Soul Power by absorbing others' Soul Power.
While using it, the expenditure might not have been that great for him instead.
"Not bad, not bad. This month of training was well worth it."
"If not for Heaven-Defying Comprehension and Heaven-Defying Luck, I couldn't have created so many Soul Skills in just one month!"
Li Fei revealed a satisfied smile.
Besides Wood Attribute abilities, he had also modeled Fire Attribute, Wind Attribute, and other abilities after them.
They would be seen in the battles ahead.
However, after a month, his Soul Power was still stuck at Twenty-Two Level.
Therefore, he needed to focus on raising his Soul Power from now on.
No matter how many Soul Skills he had, insufficient Soul Power Level would always remain a fatal weakness he could not overcome.
He sensed the people outside waiting for an explanation.
Since he had trained for a month, it was time to go out and take a walk.
He stood up, opened the door, and walked out.
"Good morning, everyone!"
"Good morning, Headmistress!"
The moment he came out, Li Fei wore a polite smile and greeted them one by one.
"Li Fei!"
Seeing that Li Fei was unharmed, the Enjing Seven Women were overjoyed.
They gathered around him enthusiastically.
Su Ru also examined Li Fei and revealed a satisfied expression.
The more she looked at him, the more she liked him.
What Teacher would not like a student with knowledge, strength, and looks like his?
"Li Fei, did you cause the disturbance outside just now?"
As Su Ru spoke, the shock from what she had witnessed still flickered deep in her eyes, impossible to erase for a long time.
The impression had been too profound!
Even she, a Seven Ring Soul Sage, could not create such a massive vine forest.
Although it had not existed for long.
She faintly felt that the Vine Forest was not as simple as it appeared.
"Yes, that was my Self-Created Soul Skill." Li Fei said, "It was also born from my ingenious use of Wood Attribute Soul Power combined with Willow Trees..."
Upon hearing this, the Eight Women were all deeply shocked.
"Xiao Fei, come with me to the Headmistress's Office. The rest of you may move about freely."
After recovering from her shock, Su Ru took a deep breath and spoke.
The women left.
Li Fei followed Su Ru to the Headmistress's Office.
"Headmistress, did you call me here alone because there is something you wish to discuss?" Li Fei asked calmly.
Su Ru said, "It is like this. Your talent has already surpassed the scope of Plant Academy. There is nothing left in Plant Academy that can teach you."
"So, Headmistress, are you planning to let me graduate early and become a Team Leader directly?" Li Fei was not particularly surprised.
Graduating early was fine. After all, he could still serve as a Team Leader Teacher here.
He could earn One Thousand Gold Soul Coins every month. That would be wonderful.
"No, you cannot graduate yet. I intend to have you join the Plant Team as a student and participate in this year's All Continent Elite Soul Master Competition!"
"With your ability, you can certainly lead the Plant Team to an excellent ranking!"
Su Ru shook her head as she spoke.
How could she possibly be willing to let a monster like Li Fei leave?
Moreover, Li Fei was only eight years old. Staying at Plant Academy was the safest option.
Li Fei asked, "The All Continent Elite Soul Master Competition—is that the Grand Event jointly organized by Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Star Luo Empire?"
"Yes, that is the one!"
"It is a Grand Event held once every five years!"
"When the time comes, outstanding team members from every Advanced Academy will participate. You will get to see even more genius monsters!"
"In the past, Plant Academy could not achieve very good rankings because of the limitations of our martial souls. Otherwise, Plant Academy would have long been one of the Five Great Element Academies!"
"If you join us, as long as Plant Academy can break into a somewhat higher ranking, or defeat one of the Five Great Element Academies, then according to the continent's rules, Plant Academy can replace them and become one of the Five Great Element Academies!"
"Are you willing to help the academy?"
"Do not worry. During this period, the academy will devote as many resources as possible to you and help you quickly break through to Soul Elder!"
Su Ru spoke earnestly.
There was even a trace of pleading in her tone.
Although they ranked just below the Five Great Element Academies, who would willingly remain beneath others for an entire lifetime?
It would have been one thing if they had never seen any hope.
But now that they had seen hope, they naturally had to fight for it!
"Alright, I'm willing to contribute to the academy!"
Hearing her sincere plea, Li Fei ultimately agreed.
"Good. Next comes the second matter."
Su Ru revealed a satisfied smile and also let out a sigh of relief.
"I intend to take you as my disciple. Are you willing?"
As she spoke, she took the initiative to reveal her martial soul. Behind her appeared the phantom of a humanoid lotus!
It was precisely her martial soul: Lotus Demon!
Beneath her feet were seven most standard Soul Rings: Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Black Black Black!
