Strike Before Tang San, Reward: Spirit Ring Simulation Ability

Watching the figure crash heavily to the ground, everyone around could not help but gasp in astonishment.

"What kind of strength does this person have!"

"She defeated Xiao Chenyu with just a single palm strike!"

The few self-funded students who had originally followed Xiao Chenyu couldn't help but swallow hard, sensing that Ye Lin was not someone to be trifled with.

"Not only did she win with one strike, but she didn't even use her Martial Soul!"

"Can you imagine how strong she would be if she actually used her Martial Soul?"

"Judging by her appearance, she's only in the first grade, right?"

At this, the crowd was even more shocked, and a strange glint flashed through the beautiful eyes of Xiao Wu.

"Sister Lin, are you really this strong?"

She scratched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed. "I want to apologize to you."

"Actually, I originally thought you had no strength and were just pretending to be low-key, but I didn't expect you were truly keeping a low profile."

Ye Lin chuckled softly. "Having strength is called being low-key; not having strength is called trying to survive."

She slowly looked toward Xiao Chenyu. "Apologize to Xiao Wu."

Xiao Chenyu struggled to climb up from the ground, stepped forward, and said very sincerely to Xiao Wu, "I'm sorry, Xiao Wu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those things."

"Seeing as you're in such a sorry state, I'll forgive you," Xiao Wu said with a giggle.

"Don't bully the Work-Study Students anymore; it's not easy for them."

After dropping those words, Ye Lin took Xiao Wu and walked directly out of the playground.

It was the perfect time to take Xiao Wu to the Martial Soul Hall to get her Spirit Master certification, which would allow her to receive Gold Soul Coins.

[Ding, plot modification successful. You taught Xiao Chenyu a lesson before Tang San could, preventing Tang San from gaining fame. Reward: Spirit Ring Simulation Ability.]

The system's voice suddenly rang out, immediately making Ye Lin feel delighted. If her first Spirit Ring were purple, it would be far too high-profile and likely to invite a lot of trouble.

Before having absolute strength, it was better to avoid fame as much as possible.

She had considered this point, which was why she didn't use her Martial Soul when fighting Xiao Chenyu.

Now that she possessed the Spirit Ring color simulation ability, things would be much easier.

After asking around briefly in Nuoding City, the two quickly found the Nuoding City Martial Soul Hall.

"Sister Lin, is it true that as long as we get certified as Spirit Masters, we can receive ten Gold Soul Coins every month?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"That's right."

"Two little friends, you cannot just wander into the Martial Soul Hall as you please," the two of them were stopped by guards as soon as they reached the entrance.

"Two uncles, we are here to test our Soul Power Level."

The two young guards didn't stop them and let them pass. "Is that so? Then go on in."

"Just go to the reception hall and find Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo."

"Thank you, two uncles."

The two quickly walked inside, and led by a staff member, they went up to the second floor to meet Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo in his office.

"Testing Soul Power Level and conducting a Spirit Master rank assessment?" Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo was somewhat stunned. "Did I hear you correctly? You two are only six years old, right?"

Ye Lin smiled slightly. "We both have Innate Full Soul Power."

"No wonder, no wonder."

"What great talent."

He exclaimed twice and took out a yellow crystal ball. "Place your right hand on it. If there are no surprises, it should be level eleven Soul Power."

When Ye Lin placed her right hand on it, the pale yellow crystal ball suddenly erupted with a brilliant, intense light.

Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo's eyes widened, and his mouth fell open into an 'O' shape.

"E... eighteen levels of Soul Power?"

"How is this possible!"

"What level of Spirit Ring did you absorb? How could it possibly grant you an eight-level increase in Soul Power?"

"Release your Martial Soul, let me see."

Ye Lin pulled her right hand away, and the Immortal Sword with the Emerald Green Dragon Pattern appeared in her palm.

A yellow Spirit Ring slowly rose from beneath her feet, and the pressure emanating from that yellow century-old Spirit Ring quickly spread throughout the surroundings.

"Yellow."

"A century-old Spirit Ring,"

"Could it be that she absorbed the ring of some powerful spirit beast?"

"But no matter the spirit beast, a century-old Spirit Ring shouldn't be able to provide as much as eight levels of Soul Power."

He would rather believe that the crystal used to test Soul Power was faulty than believe in Ye Lin's level eighteen Soul Power.

Xiao Wu's face was also filled with astonishment; the first Spirit Ring she had condensed was only four hundred years old, and her Soul Power level had only reached level twelve.

"Child, what kind of spirit beast's ring did you absorb?"

Soul Grand Master Ma Xiunuo asked again.

Ye Lin retracted her Martial Soul. "My first Spirit Ring is from a Datura Snake."

He looked as if he had a sudden realization. "The Datura Snake, the most troublesome among low-level spirit beasts?"

"But it still feels a bit strange."

"I can't quite figure it out, but the more Soul Power added, the greater the benefit to you. That is certain."

"I congratulate you here first."

Soon it was Xiao Wu's turn. Although Xiao Wu's talent was also extremely outstanding, it seemed slightly ordinary when compared to Ye Lin.

Upon leaving the Martial Soul Hall, Ye Lin and Xiao Wu each received a Spirit Badge crafted by the Martial Soul Hall and ten Gold Soul Coins.

The two had just left the Martial Soul Hall when they saw the figure of Tang San.

Both sides exchanged a simple greeting and did not linger for long.

Compared to Xiao Wu's talent, Tang San's ten-year Spirit Ring looked even more ordinary.

Time passed quickly at Notting Academy, and in the blink of an eye, six years had gone by.

Because Ye Lin had defeated Xiao Chenyu with a single palm strike previously, the situation between the Work-Study Students and the self-funded students was much better than before.

On the playground of Notting Academy, Ye Lin and Tang San stood facing each other.

Beneath Tang San's feet, the Spirit Rings had increased to two, one white and one yellow.

In contrast, beneath Ye Lin's feet, there was still only that one yellow Spirit Ring that had been simulated.

Within half a year of absorbing her Spirit Ring, Ye Lin's Soul Power had already reached level twenty, but she had not yet absorbed a second Spirit Ring.

She had already chosen her second Spirit Ring, but the opportunity had not yet arrived, and her current strength was sufficient for use.

Ye Lin said softly.

"Tang San, make your move."

"Hmph, this time I will definitely win!"

Tang San's first Spirit Ring flashed. "Blue Silver Entanglement!"

Two thick Blue Silver Vines shot out rapidly from his palms, binding toward Ye Lin.

Ye Lin held her Immortal Sword and stepped forward quickly, a slash of her sword easily severing Tang San's Blue Silver Vines.

Even though Tang San's Soul Power had reached level twenty-six, the Blue Silver Vines were vulnerable in Ye Lin's hands.

Tang San's second Spirit Ring flashed.

"Second Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Parasitism!"

The grass seeds that had fallen onto Ye Lin from the just-severed Blue Silver Vines grew rapidly, transforming into dense vines that bound her firmly within them.

A smile appeared on the corner of Tang San's mouth. "You've lost!"
