That was to absorb a Spirit Ring and become a true Spirit Master at last!

Although he was nearly three years behind Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others, Yun Feng did not mind in the slightest.

As long as his idea proved feasible and he obtained a few more suggestions, leveling up would be quick!

Over the past two-plus years, Yun Feng had received several more suggestions.

However, most of them overlapped, which left Yun Feng rather troubled.

Still, it was not as though there had been no new ones. For example, a few months ago, Yun Feng suddenly received a suggestion.

"Yun Feng, can't you interact with other people more? You'll never find a girlfriend like this!"

Yun Feng stared at Tang San with a baffled expression, having no idea what Tang San was up to.

"Huh? Why?"

Tang San had not wanted to say any of this in the first place. But seeing Xiao Wu grow closer and closer to this little brother of theirs and care for him more and more, he felt awful inside. He was jealous!

Besides, when he had first come to Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, Tang San had already planned to find Yun Feng a girlfriend. That was why he said it.

"Of course it's for your future! Look at you—your Innate Soul Power is only level one. You might not even make it into an intermediate academy. While you're still in school, hurry up and find a few more girlfriends. If Spirit Masters pair with Spirit Masters, won't their children be much more likely to possess Innate Soul Power?"

Just as Yun Feng was about to respond,

the familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind once more.

[Suggestion detected from Tang San, Child of Fortune: find several Spirit Master girlfriends and reproduce. Reward: Spirit Ring Customization Effect. (For every additional girlfriend, one Spirit Bone will be rewarded, depending on her talent.)]

When Yun Feng heard that, he nearly went mad with joy.

After looking into the details a little, the way Yun Feng looked at Tang San changed completely.

He was such a good person!

The Spirit Ring Customization Effect meant that any effect he wanted could appear, regardless of what kind of Spirit Beast he killed. Of course, the effect and power would depend on the Spirit Ring's age.

In other words, even if Yun Feng killed a Lone Bamboo, he could obtain the spirit skill of a Titan Giant Ape.

That was simply ridiculous!

Though the attributes would not exactly match!

Still, Yun Feng merely thought about it. After all, he had an even more interesting idea in mind.

Because of this, Yun Feng had spent the past few months figuring out how to win someone over.

If he was going to do it, he would do it as well as possible. And at the moment, Xiao Wu was the only one suitable enough in terms of talent.

As for the others, none of them looked particularly gifted.

Tang San had also been bewildered over the past few months. After he said those words, Yun Feng seemed to have suddenly figured something out.

Although Yun Feng did not deliberately try to please Xiao Wu or anything, and even kept a certain distance from her,

he was getting more and more handsome!

He was tall, handsome, and richer than Tang San.

Tang San worked himself to the bone forging iron, while Yun Feng casually invented something, handed it over to Spirit Hall, and received a share of the profits.

It made Tang San feel miserable.

Should I get rid of Yun Feng?

He did not seem to have done anything to wrong him. He even looked after Tang San and Xiao Wu from time to time, and he was still Tang San's friend.

But if I don't get rid of him, seeing Xiao Wu cling to Yun Feng every day feels awful.

Though the three of them had a pretty good relationship.

What a dilemma.

After looking around and making sure no one was nearby,

Yun Feng stood up and dusted himself off.

He suddenly wondered what Yu Xiaogang would think if he knew Yun Feng's current level.

In nearly three years, Yun Feng had cultivated to the Spirit Master stage.

He only lacked a Spirit Ring.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang had received so many resources. Though his Innate Soul Power was only half a level, even if he had been given six years, he might not have reached Yun Feng's current level.

As for why Yun Feng said Yu Xiaogang had cultivated using his family's resources—

Yu Xiaogang had said so himself.

The level corresponding to Innate Soul Power, barring any fortunate encounters, meant that level-one Soul Power corresponded to level nineteen!

Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, had only half a level of Innate Soul Power.

Yet he had cultivated to level twenty-nine!

And judging from all sorts of information in the original story, Yu Xiaogang had remained with his family until at least his twenties. Later, because he got stuck at his level,

he desperately sought a solution and only then went to Spirit Hall for answers.

Yu Xiaogang had also said that level thirty was a threshold dividing heaven and earth. Before the age of twenty was the fastest period for cultivation, and if one had not broken through to level thirty by then, one would have no future achievements to speak of.

What followed was him deceiving Bibi Dong and luring Liu Erlong.

After discovering that neither was of any use, he began showing off his knowledge, hoping to gain his family's recognition.

But he had not expected things to backfire. The theories he had stolen were not suitable for everyone.

Yet Yu Xiaogang still stubbornly refused to admit it. Only later did he encounter Tang San, someone who defied all common sense, and see his theories realized.

Though it had little to do with him!

Now that he needed to obtain a Spirit Ring, Yun Feng thought it over and requested leave from the academy, saying that he was going home to visit his grandfather.

Naturally, there were no objections to such a request. Yun Feng quickly got his leave approved, partly because of the image he had established.

To everyone at the academy, Yun Feng was the most hardworking one.

After leaving the academy, Yun Feng headed straight for Spirit Hall.

Why did he lie?

Yun Feng believed that less trouble was better. He did not want anyone bothering him.

Especially Yu Xiaogang. What if that man became interested in him and insisted on studying him?

And as the freeloader who mooched meals at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy,

if Yun Feng told the academy, those teachers would inevitably spread the news.

There was simply no need for that.

Besides, although obtaining a Spirit Ring was not easy, Yun Feng did not want to expose himself directly before the academy's teachers.

He only needed to obtain one with an age that met the requirements. He had not considered anything else.

After all, he had the Spirit Ring Customization Effect.

So he had only one choice: Spirit Hall. At the very least, he was fairly familiar with the people there.

The soap he had made previously had been sold to Spirit Hall.

Spirit Hall valued talented people capable of developing practical things that benefited ordinary lives.

So Spirit Hall would still help him with a small favor.

When Yun Feng arrived at the Spirit Hall branch and saw Ma Xiunuo's shocked expression,

he merely smiled faintly.

"Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, I just cultivate more diligently than usual. There's nothing special about me!"

Ma Xiunuo inspected the crystal ball several times. After confirming there was nothing wrong with it, he looked at Yun Feng's records with an indescribably strange expression.

Could a child with only level-one Innate Soul Power really cultivate to level ten in nearly three years?
