Teacher Xiong drew in another sharp breath!
He hadn't expected Su Yun's First Soul Skill to be so outrageously powerful, too.
Just the First Soul Skill alone was already as effective as the Soul Beast's original ability!
This was enough to show that a Soul Master's Martial Soul was of exceptionally high quality. When absorbing a Soul Ring, they would also consciously or unconsciously be selective.
As for the second effect of Su Yun's First Soul Skill, aside from tracking Soul Beasts and Soul Masters,
it could also be used on the battlefield to send people into hiding and assassinate enemies.
With the effect of these leaves, they could know exactly where their own people—or their enemies—were.
That way, they could take the initiative and issue commands or make any other moves they needed.
"Good lad! You really didn't disappoint me!" Teacher Xiong clapped Su Yun hard on the shoulder, hitting him so hard that he nearly lost his breath.
"I thought you were more stubborn than anyone this time, but it turns out you'd already thought this far ahead." Teacher Xiong praised Su Yun with his meager vocabulary, sparing no effort.
The two other lackeys also followed Su Yun. On the way back, they never stopped talking.
Back in Notting City,
Su Yun went to the Spirit Hall first and had the old man Ma Xiunuo certify his Soul Master status.
Only now could he truly be called a One-Ring Soul Master.
And just as Su Yun had expected, Ma Xiunuo was also very surprised by how quickly his Soul Power had increased.
When he learned that Su Yun and Tang San came from the same village, he was even more astonished.
He directly invited Su Yun to join the Spirit Hall.
However, Su Yun politely declined.
After leaving the Spirit Hall Branch,
Su Yun set off back to Notting Academy.
At the same time, the system's voice rang out in his mind.
"Side quest completed."
"Rewards are being issued. Please wait..."
"Ding! Congratulations! Your Prairie Fire Spear Technique (fragment) has been upgraded to the complete version."
"Ding! Congratulations! Your Wind God Leg (fragment) has been upgraded to the complete version."
The system's emotionless electronic voice sounded in Su Yun's ear. His heart leaped with joy, and he immediately told Ah Yin the news.
"Let's see what the complete martial arts look like," Ah Yin said happily. She had received the system notification, too.
Another wave of dizziness washed over him, and more knowledge of the martial arts appeared in Su Yun's mind.
"As expected, I've got all six forms of Wind God Leg, along with the thirty needles and twenty strikes of Prairie Fire Spear Technique." Su Yun's lips curled into a slight smile.
With these two martial arts, Su Yun felt that as long as he mastered them, he wouldn't have much to fear from Soul Masters of the same level—at least until he became a Soul Saint.
"Sister Yin, I think with these martial arts, I'll definitely beat that fake Tang San in the end-of-year competition." Su Yun's voice carried a hint of confidence.
The more you had going for you, the more confident you became.
And on Douluo Continent, strength and talent were a person's greatest assets.
After a month of hard training, Su Yun had finally realized that his body really did have exceptional talent.
Maybe that was one of the advantages of transmigrating into someone else's body.
"You mustn't get too arrogant. That bastard has practiced martial arts since he was young, and he's lived two lives. He has far more combat experience than you. If you're careless, you'll suffer for it." Ah Yin's voice was gentle.
Over the past month, she had watched all of Su Yun's training.
She knew that his small body still held tremendous untapped potential, so naturally, Ah Yin didn't want him to get too arrogant and waste his talent.
There was something else, too: she didn't want Su Yun to get hurt.
After all, the fake Tang San who had taken over her child's body still had a weapon called a Hidden Weapon.
Ah Yin could sense a hint of danger from those Hidden Weapons.
"Don't worry, Sister Yin. I know what I'm doing." Su Yun smiled and nodded. Then, after buying some snacks Xiao Wu liked, he ran toward the work-study students' dormitory.
The work-study students' dormitory.
Xiao Wu lay on her bed, looking at the empty space beside it. An inexplicable irritability rose in her heart.
Before she knew it, she clutched the pillow of a certain someone even tighter and breathed in its faint scent.
"Hey, look at Sister Xiao Wu. She's hugging Su Yun's pillow again."
"Su Yun's been gone for the past couple of days. Sister Xiao Wu doesn't seem to sleep well at night."
"Huh? How come I didn't notice?"
"Obviously. You spend every day eating and sleeping. What could you possibly notice?"
"I heard the work-study girls say Sister Xiao Wu got used to Su Yun's smell, so now she has trouble sleeping when she can't smell it."
"Gasp—then why can't we smell anything on Su Yun?"
"Maybe it's because Sister Xiao Wu's Martial Soul is a rabbit? Maybe her sense of smell is sharper?"
"Sense of smell? Shouldn't that be a dog?"
"Oh, so you're calling Sister Xiao Wu a dog? I'm reporting you!"
"Don't—"
A small group of boys gathered in the work-study students' dormitory, watching Xiao Wu look distracted these past few days. They couldn't help feeling helpless.
When Su Yun was around, Sister Xiao Wu's favorite thing had been challenging Su Yun and Tang San to spar.
Tang San was very strong. He and Xiao Wu were often evenly matched, and sometimes each of them won.
As for Su Yun, although he lost every time, they could tell that after each match, his strength would improve a little once some time had passed. And all the injuries on his body would disappear.
But Su Yun had gone to hunt for his First Soul Ring these past few days, so he wasn't in the dormitory.
So Sister Xiao Wu had started sparring with them instead.
The result was that every single one of them had experienced Sister Xiao Wu's fighting techniques and ended up covered in bruises...
Su Yun, where are you? Come back soon.
We don't want to be human punching bags anymore...
"I'm back!"
Just as the boys were silently praying, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked toward the dormitory entrance. Su Yun was standing there!
"Su Yun!"
The boys cried out in surprise.
Even Tang San, who had been resting with his eyes closed as he cultivated, opened them and looked at Su Yun.
His gaze sharpened slightly. He could feel that Su Yun's aura had grown considerably stronger compared to the last couple of days before he left.
It seemed he had already obtained his First Soul Ring.
"Su Yun! You're back!"
When Xiao Wu saw Su Yun return, a delighted expression immediately spread across her face. She sprang off the bed and leaped straight onto him.
She wrapped both legs around Su Yun's waist and hugged him tightly.
Breathing in Su Yun's familiar scent, Xiao Wu felt the frustration in her heart ease considerably.
The aura on Su Yun that was just like a Soul Beast's helped calm the restlessness she felt among humans.
"Xiao Wu, my waist is about to break. Get down." At Su Yun's words, Xiao Wu's pretty face instantly flushed red, and she quickly jumped down.
"Here, I bought this for you."
Once the "burden" had finally climbed off him, Su Yun took out the snacks he'd bought for Xiao Wu and said, "I bought you this carrot bread with the first Gold Soul Coin I got after my Soul Master certification. Don't waste it."
"Wow!"
The moment Xiao Wu heard the words "carrot bread," her eyes lit up. She snatched the bag from Su Yun's hand. "Thank you, Su Yun!"
"You're so nice. Sister Xiao Wu will give you a reward!"
With that, Xiao Wu pecked Su Yun on the cheek.
"Ooh!"
The work-study boys hiding off to the side—especially the older ones—couldn't help letting out catcalls when they saw this.
