Changed Perspective

Blue Silver Grass had many possible paths of development. Because it was inherently low-tier, it could develop in many directions, and its weakness meant it would not reject Spirit Rings of any attribute.

Yu Xiaogang's proposal, however, was for Tang San to abandon the innate advantages of a plant-type Martial Soul and instead follow his theory by absorbing beast-type Martial Souls.

To add some kind of poison.

Were there no poisonous plants among plant-type Martial Souls?

That was what Yun Feng could not understand.

Although Martial Souls were energy constructs, in a sense, they were also living beings—a different manifestation of their host's life.

All that could be said was that Tang San's advantage of Innate Full Soul Power had been made into a complete mess by Yu Xiaogang.

Of course, Yun Feng had no intention of reminding him.

Thinking of this, Yun Feng muttered inwardly:

"Judging by this, tomorrow should be the day he obtains his Spirit Ring, right?"

By the time Yun Feng arrived at the small restaurant outside, it was already quite late.

There were barely any customers left. After ordering a few meat dishes, Yun Feng began eating straight away.

After finishing his meal, Yun Feng took a back route to return to the dormitory. This was a period when he needed to keep a low profile; he did not want to get caught and beaten up because of the conflict between Dorm Seven and the nobles.

After all, he was now a member of Dorm Seven. If he did not want to get beaten up, he could only stay out of their way.

It was just like in his previous life—without money, even breathing was a mistake!

Here, all it took was a slight adjustment: without strength, even having money was a mistake!

Lost in thought, Yun Feng successfully returned to the dormitory.

Looking around, most of the people in Dorm Seven were sitting cross-legged on their beds, meditating. As working students, they were no less hardworking than those talented students outside.

It was only that their Innate Soul Power had limited them from the start.

And their resources were far beyond anything the nobles could provide.

After all, most of them were children from poor families. Before becoming Spirit Masters, many of them could not even afford enough food to eat!

Even so, they were still far stronger than most people on this continent.

Even the lowest-ranking Spirit Masters enjoyed privileges!

When Yun Feng returned, a small number of people were not cultivating and were occupied with other things.

Tang San was one of them.

Habits formed in his previous life made Tang San remain vigilant at all times, even in this environment.

Only after seeing that it was Yun Feng did he relax.

Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Wu spoke before him.

Xiao Wu was bored out of her mind. Unlike the others, she was not cultivating. Covered by the bedding she had bought that afternoon, she lay on her bed with her head poking out and looked at Yun Feng.

"Little Feng, why didn't you act with us this afternoon? Weren't you afraid of getting beaten?"

Yun Feng smiled. He had not taken part in the cafeteria conflict earlier, and with a guilty expression, he said quietly:

"Big Sis Xiao Wu, I went to cultivate and train my body. My Innate Soul Power is only level one, so I have to work harder. I didn't expect all this to happen."

Xiao Wu muttered a few words but said nothing.

She pulled the blanket over her face.

Yun Feng did not mind. He felt that Xiao Wu's question probably came from the fact that she was using the bedding he had paid for, and she still felt somewhat concerned about it.

It was not that Yun Feng himself was particularly remarkable; it was simply that Xiao Wu had not yet been influenced so deeply by Tang San.

Tang San did not say anything else when he saw this. He merely looked at Yun Feng and said slowly:

"Come back earlier in the future. It's still rather dangerous for you to be out there alone."

The corners of Yun Feng's mouth twitched, but he still nodded.

"I'll be careful."

Tang San's impression of Yun Feng was actually fairly good. The simplest evaluation was:

"This little brat knows how to behave!"

After their brief exchange, the dormitory fell silent.

Yun Feng said nothing more. After washing up simply, he returned to his bed and began cultivating his Soul Power.

An hour later, when he felt his Soul Power beginning to surge rapidly, Yun Feng decisively stopped cultivating. He took a sip of hot water and lay down to sleep!

For now, he only had a few suggestions, so he had to combine them properly.

Persevere, sleep early and rise early, drink more hot water, and eat more meals.

Those were the things Yun Feng needed to do.

After fulfilling one condition, Yun Feng went to sleep. He wanted to see whether the effects could stack.

Before falling asleep, however, Yun Feng still asked inwardly.

"System, can you display my cultivation progress in a more intuitive way?"

[.]

[Yes.]

Still half-asleep, Yun Feng instantly became alert.

After hearing that word in his mind, he immediately felt a light screen appear before his eyes.

Name: Yun Feng.

Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass.

Innate Soul Power: Level One (continuing to increase)

Soul Power Level: Level Two (continuing to increase at four times the speed)

After reading it, Yun Feng fell silent for a moment. It really was simple!

Still, Yun Feng did not complain, because while cultivating, he felt as though experience points kept appearing on the light screen.

Soul Power +4 +4 +4.

That was pretty absurd.

After watching it for a few moments, Yun Feng finally closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, Yun Feng got up early and saw Tang San telling Xiao Wu that he needed to go out for a while.

He told her not to worry about him.

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes at the self-important Tang San before her.

If she remembered correctly, they should not have been that close yet.

But after saying that, Tang San left.

He went with Yu Xiaogang to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain a Spirit Ring.

Meanwhile, Yun Feng went to attend the opening ceremony.

As three newly enrolled students, even though two of them were working students, Tang San was absent, so the headmaster naturally gave Xiao Wu and Yun Feng a few words of instruction.

Especially after learning that Xiao Wu possessed Innate Full Soul Power, he thought highly of her.

In private, he even gave her some money as financial support.

Only when Yun Feng saw this did he feel that things were normal.

Thinking back to his previous life, if someone among the countless students had been admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University—

With perfect scores, no less—the two schools would have fought over them.

All to secure that student.

Xiao Wu had Innate Full Soul Power. How could she possibly not receive attention?

That was far too abnormal!

So sometimes, Yun Feng did not even want to complain anymore.

There was no logic to it at all.

The headmaster also encouraged Yun Feng, while Xiao Wu's working student duties were waived outright.

After receiving the money, Xiao Wu glanced at Yun Feng standing beside her.

After hesitating for a moment, she still returned the money Yun Feng had spent on buying her bedding.

Yun Feng looked at the money she held out, a trace of surprise flashing through his eyes.

"Big Sis Xiao Wu, what is this?"

When Xiao Wu heard Yun Feng ask, she said somewhat impatiently:

"Just take it when I'm giving it to you. You look pretty poor too. I don't lack money anymore!"
