Preparing to Hunt Soul Beasts

Dai Mubai carefully considered Su Ming's three suggestions. "The dark attribute won't work. I'm part of the Star Luo Imperial Family; how can my Martial Soul evolve into something that looks so evil?"

"Now only light or the combination of light and dark remain. Let's go with light and dark. Coincidentally, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill is the Hell White Tiger, which is also a combination of light and dark. Plus, our ancestors often intermarried with the Hell Spirit Cat, so the bloodline is quite strong."

Dai Mubai made up his mind and looked up at Su Ming with anticipation.

"Then let's go with the Light-Dark White Tiger. And didn't you say my ancestors intermarried with the Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul? Logically, my bloodline combined with Martial Soul Evolution should be more suited for this."

Su Ming looked at the expectant Dai Mubai and replied with a hint of awkwardness.

"Uh, Boss Dai, this, that..."

Dai Mubai looked at Su Ming, who was stammering.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Uh, Boss Dai, why don't you just choose the Bright White Tiger instead."

Dai Mubai looked at Su Ming with a face full of confusion.

"Is there a problem with the Light-Dark White Tiger?"

"No problem, it's just that there are too few spirit beasts that possess both light and dark attributes simultaneously. I only know of one, the Light-Dark Cyclops."

"My first suggested evolution direction was the light attribute. I thought you would choose light."

"If you really want to evolve into the Light-Dark White Tiger, then you'll have to use the Star Luo Imperial Family's power yourself to find a spirit beast."

"I can't help you with that. Spirit beasts that simultaneously possess both light and dark attributes are rare. The information I have came from Yu Xiao Gang."

Dai Mubai pondered for a moment. It was true; spirit beasts with both light and dark attributes were indeed scarce, and the light attribute was also quite good.

"Alright, then let's go with the light attribute. This time, it should be fine, right?"

Seeing that Dai Mubai had changed his mind and chosen the light attribute, Su Ming's expression brightened, and he said with a smile.

"For the light attribute, there are plenty: Bright White Tiger, Holy Light White Tiger, Sun-Gilded Golden-Eyed Tiger."

"However, your first Soul Ring has already been wasted. To truly evolve into a Bright White Tiger, your second Soul Ring should ideally be a Bright White Tiger."

"Let's go, we'll go find the Dean."

"Okay, Oscar, you wait here for a bit. We'll be back soon."

Su Ming summoned his Martial Soul and cast his first spirit ability on Dai Mubai. The two then flew towards the Dean's office.

Before long, the two arrived at the Dean's office door. Dai Mubai stepped forward, knocked, and called out.

"Is the Dean in?"

After calling out and knocking twice, they soon heard a "Come in." The two opened the door and walked inside.

Flender had just received a reply from Yu Xiao Gang that morning and had returned from Suotuo City. He was about to open the envelope when he heard Su Ming and Dai Mubai's voices and the sound of the door.

Putting down the letter, Flender watched Su Ming and Dai Mubai enter.

"Yo, what brings you two here?"

He subconsciously sensed them with his Soul Power.

"Oh my, Mubai, you're level 20. Not bad."

"Are you ready for me to help you hunt for a Soul Ring?"

The two who had just entered heard Flender's reply.

"Yes, as expected of the Dean. You could tell my Soul Power change at a glance." Dai Mubai quickly replied, adding a small compliment.

"Alright, are you still planning to follow your Star Luo Imperial Family's tradition of exclusive spirit beasts for the first three Soul Rings? I'll have Old Zhao take you to your Star Luo Imperial Family's Tamed Beast Forest to hunt them later."

Dai Mubai quickly explained upon hearing this.

"Uh, Dean, I won't be following our Star Luo Imperial Family's tradition."

"Not following tradition? What do you want to do?"

"Uh, Dean, you know the royal rules of our Star Luo Empire. I only ran here because I had no other choice."

"So I'm not going to follow the Star Luo royal method. This way, my fiancée and I won't have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and there won't be any issue of fighting for the throne."

"Therefore, following Su Ming's advice, I plan to hunt for a light attribute Soul Ring."

Flender glanced at Su Ming.

"Was it your suggestion?"

Su Ming said with a righteous expression.

"Yes, Dean. It's just that when I saw Boss Dai's Martial Soul was the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, I asked a few more questions."

"Who knew he was a prince? Afterwards, I asked him how much older his elder brother was than him. When I heard he was 6 years older, I understood."

"Seeing as he ran all the way here, it's clear he doesn't want to fight for the throne. So I just offered a suggestion."

Flender stared at Su Ming for a long time.

He stared until Su Ming's scalp tingled.

"Do you have any successful cases? You're just going to try it on him? What if he fails?"

"As your dean, I'm just a mere Soul Sage. If Dai Mubai fails to absorb the Soul Ring according to your suggestion, I can't protect you."

Su Ming heard Flender's concern for him.

"Dean, I've experimented with it. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to suggest it."

"He's a student at Nuoding City Primary Academy, a Work-Study Student like me. His name is Wang Sheng, five years older than me. His Martial Soul is the War Tiger. Back then, I had just hunted my first Soul Ring."

"I was showing off, so I let them use my first Soul Skill. After flying, Wang Sheng knelt down in front of everyone."

"I quickly asked him, and he said he wanted a hundred-year Soul Ring and asked if I could help him hunt one. He was willing to work like a horse to repay the favor."

At this point, Flender recalled his time as a student at the Primary Academy after awakening his Martial Soul.

If I hadn't had innate level 8 Soul Power, and if someone hadn't seen my potential and been willing to invest, perhaps my first Soul Ring would have been a ten-year white Soul Ring.

This Wang Sheng is good. He put down his pride and got benefits.

Good, good.

"Originally, I planned to register directly at Shrek Academy the second year. At that time, I just thought of this Martial Soul Evolution direction, and he became my test subject."

"On the way here, I casually helped him hunt a 300-year Crimson Flame Tiger as a Soul Ring, and his Martial Soul actually evolved."

"After that, he gave his Soul Ring a name, Flame Tiger, and then we parted ways."

"So after hearing about Dai Mubai's situation, I suggested hunting a Light Attribute one directly, destroying the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. That way, he wouldn't be seen as a threat by his older brother, since the Martial Soul Fusion Skill would be gone."

"Right, the reason Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Martial Soul failed to evolve is the same. So I suggested hunting a beast with Phoenix bloodline attributes. I'm done speaking, Dean."

At this moment, Flender's heart was extremely unsettled. Martial Souls could actually evolve through hunting Soul Rings.

But thinking about it carefully, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan must hunt Dragon-like attribute Soul Rings to gain the ability of dragonization for their Martial Soul. Isn't this evolution?

Seeing the Dean lost in thought, Dai Mubai immediately said.

"Dean, Su Ming just gave me a suggestion. The final decision is mine. I've decided. I want to be this test subject."

"Alright, since you've decided, I won't stop you. Tomorrow morning, Old Zhao and I will take you two to hunt Soul Beasts."

"You two go back first. We'll go tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Dean."
