Leaving Martial Soul City

The Scholar Bishop shook his head.

"Finally, the Soul Core can circulate soul power on its own, allowing a Soul Master to remain in a state of cultivation at all times."

"Other than that, there are no further discoveries."

Being able to discover even this much was already quite impressive.

Huo Yuhao had condensed his Soul Core at level 70 only because he already possessed the mental strength of a Title Douluo and had the assistance of Tian Meng.

Lin Huai retreated to the side of Qian Daoliu.

With the matter concluded, the five Elders and Bibi Dong accompanied Lin Huai back to the Worship Hall.

"Does the Pope have something on her mind?"

Golden Crocodile asked, seeing Bibi Dong follow them.

Bibi Dong took out a letter and handed it to Qian Daoliu.

"Xiao Xue sent word that she expects to complete the coronation ceremony in one month."

After taking the letter, Qian Daoliu scanned it quickly.

"That works out well. I also plan to depart for the Sun Moon Continent in a month. At that time, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Guang Ling will accompany me."

"I will leave the Martial Soul Hall in your hands for these next few months."

Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong, who no longer showed any trace of madness.

A year had passed, and Bibi Dong had risen to level 98. She looked at Lin Huai.

"I intend to go into seclusion immediately after you return to condense my dual Soul Cores."

"Little Huai, do you have any suggestions?"

Lin Huai sensed that Bibi Dong wanted to quicken her pace.

She wanted to complete the plan to unify the continent sooner.

"Aunt Dong, I suggest you condense a mental-attribute Soul Core first."

"If possible, place it directly in your middle dantian; that will make handling the second Soul Core much easier."

Bibi Dong patted Lin Huai on the head.

"Many thanks, Little Huai!"

After Bibi Dong left, Qian Daoliu asked Lin Huai:

"Little Huai, how is your comprehension of Momentum coming along?"

Recalling the months spent sitting motionlessly on the mountaintop, Lin Huai sighed helplessly.

"There has been no progress yet."

Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Huai's right hand; the rot had not worsened.

"Comprehending these realms is still of vital importance to you."

"Once I have established a branch hall in the Sun Moon Continent, I will hurry back. If you truly have no feeling for it by then, I will take you to travel across every river in the land!"

At this moment, Lin Huai desperately hoped that Qian Daoliu was joking.

But joking was the one thing Qian Daoliu was least skilled at.

"There is no need to rush, Teacher. Just focus on arranging the affairs in the Sun Moon Continent; I will work hard."

Qian Daoliu's expression was heavy, his tone serious.

"You have been somewhat slack lately. Stop everything else for now and prioritize your comprehension of blade techniques and meditation on your soul power."

"The Soul Master Academy tournament is, after all, just child's play. Those few others can win it on their own; you need not worry about it."

Lin Huai reflected on his actions over the past year.

He had indeed grown arrogant, relying on his foresight as a transmigrator, and had lost that frantic, obsessive mindset he once had.

"Thank you for the reminder, Teacher. I will be sure to adjust my mindset."

"Go back now. You may continue to stay with them, but you no longer need to participate in group training."

At Qian Daoliu's signal, Lin Huai walked out of the Martial Soul Hall.

"Lianlian, my mindset has changed recently; why didn't you remind me?"

The voice of Malenia echoed in his mind.

"You are only seven or eight years old; it is acceptable to slack off a little."

"That really lacks conviction coming from you."

Lin Huai knew full well that Malenia and Miquella had been incredibly diligent since they were children.

"Remember to remind me in the future. The sooner I comprehend it, the less we have to worry about losing our lives."

"Mm."

"You're back already? Didn't you say you had a lot of things to do?"

Lin Huai rolled his eyes.

He gestured to his own height with his hand, then held it up next to Tian Yue's ear.

"I'm only eight years old. No matter how much they need me, they'll have to wait until I grow up a bit!"

Tian Yue took a step back, her gaze flickering away.

"Who... who told you to always act like such a grown-up!"

Lin Huai paused in his movements.

It was fortunate that this was a fantasy world; he could use the excuse of being precocious to cover up his transmigration.

"Right, where is Yichen?"

"Hasn't he returned yet?"

Hu Liena whispered a reminder:

"He probably doesn't know we're back yet."

Lin Huai coughed, his face remaining calm.

"I've already sent someone to tell him; perhaps he just hasn't made it back yet."

"Alright, you two go ahead and train. I'm going to the Soul Tool Hall."

The trees in front of the Worship Hall had shed their leaves four times.

Lin Huai was now twelve years old.

He had grown into a dashing young man, his height catching up to Tian Yue's, standing just over one meter seventy.

"Xiao Huai, Grandfather asks why you are so insistent on going out for experience."

Twenty-one-year-old Qian Renxue appeared behind Lin Huai.

Her figure was graceful, lacking only a bit of the temperament compared to Bibi Dong, and she was even slightly taller than Lin Huai.

After spending several years hunting Evil Soul Masters on the Sun Moon Continent, she had already reached level sixty-seven.

Why?

If he didn't go out, how could he trip up that little brat?

If he didn't go out, how could he meet other beauties?

If he didn't go out, how could he advance the plot (crossed out)?

"My Unceasing Blade Stance has reached perfection. I feel I need to enter the mortal world for experience to achieve a breakthrough."

Doubt flickered in Qian Renxue's eyes, but she immediately smiled.

"Very well, I shall go with you."

"I, too, wish to experience the mortal world."

Lin Huai turned and walked into the Worship Hall, his voice drifting back to Qian Renxue's ears.

"Suit yourself. Besides, Sister Yue and Sister Nana are going too."

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes slightly.

Those two little girls sure move fast!

The next day.

Lin Huai left Martial Soul City with the three beauties.

High above Martial Soul City, Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong watched the four of them climb into a carriage.

Both had long since condensed their second Soul Core, and Bibi Dong had returned to level ninety-nine.

"Grand Elder, your disciple is quite the free spirit, taking three female companions along for his training."

Ignoring Bibi Dong's sarcasm, Qian Daoliu sighed.

"I don't even want to play matchmaker for him and Xiao Xue anymore."

In Bibi Dong's mind, images surfaced of Qian Renxue and Hu Liena taking turns whispering praises of Lin Huai to her.

"Even if you don't play matchmaker, Xiao Xue will still like him."

"Xiao Xue and Nana have been whispering about this kid in my ears constantly lately."

"Look, even that scatterbrained girl Tian Yue has taken the initiative to lean in close."

As Bibi Dong complained about Lin Huai, scenes from several years ago, when the Rakshasa God's consciousness was purged from her, surfaced in her mind against her will.

She had never expected such a thing to happen.

Flustered, she cleared her thoughts and turned to leave.

"I leave these four little ones to you; I must go attend to state affairs."

"Forget it, let them be!"

Qian Daoliu quietly followed the four of them.

Inside the carriage, Qian Renxue and Hu Liena sat on either side of Lin Huai.

"Nana, is it really alright for you to just abandon Yan like this?"

"Won't this make you seem fickle?"

The image of 'tea-like' behavior from the internet of his past life instantly flashed through Lin Huai's mind.

I never expected you to be this kind of Qian Renxue.

Hu Liena hugged Lin Huai's arm directly, glaring fiercely at Qian Renxue.

"I told Yan long ago; he was the one insisting on pestering me."

"This is perfect; it will make him give up."

Lin Huai was so excited;

although there had been signs of this trend among them before, he hadn't expected a life of having a beauty on each arm to arrive so quickly.

Truly worthy of being the Love Continent!

"Don't bicker, my two sisters; you are both my wings!"

He wrapped his arms around their waists, his hands even showing a tendency to climb higher.

The two women simultaneously slapped away Lin Huai's restless hands.

Their faces flushed red instantly.

Tian Yue stood up directly, and sat on Lin Huai's lap.

Her jade-like arms wrapped around his neck, and she leaned in to kiss Lin Huai right on the lips.

The two women were stunned on the spot.

Is Xiao Yue really this direct?
