Training

The next day, early morning.

Lin Fan woke up from his cultivation.

In this short span of over half a day, he had gained control over one more Lightning Element Star Seed.

However, this was ultimately the result of his diligent accumulation over time.

After washing up, Lin Fan headed to the cafeteria.

As Lin Fan walked in wearing the uniform of the Advanced Soul Master Academy, the fear that had gripped the many students who knew him and had been dominated by him instantly dissipated.

After all, they had received a piece of inside information just yesterday: Lin Fan had entered the Advanced Soul Master Academy.

This meant that they would no longer have to face Lin Fan in their future combat classes!

"Look, look, is that Lin Fan? He's actually wearing the Advanced Academy uniform!"

"So that news from yesterday was true; he really was selected for the Advanced Soul Master Academy!"

"My god, does this mean we'll never have to be bullied by him in combat class again?"

"You said it! Last time I got zapped by his lightning soul skill, my arm went numb for an entire day; I was scared out of my wits."

"Finally, I won't have to be on pins and needles every time we have combat class. His strength is simply not something we can handle."

"Advanced Soul Master Academy... no wonder he's so strong. From now on, he's a proper advanced class student; he's not on the same level as us anymore."

"Thank goodness, thank goodness. I can finally cultivate in peace without worrying about being unilaterally crushed by him."

"Honestly, now that he's leaving, I feel like the air in the entire academy is much lighter."

Many students stole glances at Lin Fan while whispering to each other, their tones filled with relief. Some even secretly high-fived, clearly having been liberated from their previous shadows.

Lin Fan scanned his surroundings and smiled faintly.

Indeed, he finally didn't have to spar with these little brats anymore!

One had to know that with Lin Fan's current strength, he had a high chance of winning even against a Soul Elder!

Although he would be training within the Advanced Soul Master Academy from now on, and the emotional points he gained might not be as high as they were in the Primary Soul Master Academy.

However, the three academies were not far apart, and since there was only one cafeteria, collecting emotional points here in the future wouldn't be an issue.

For instance, just now, in the two or three minutes since Lin Fan had walked in, he had already gained over a million emotional points!

With so many people and such deep emotions, the emotional points gained were naturally abundant!

Carrying his breakfast, Lin Fan arrived at his usual seat and sat down.

However, Bibi Dong was not here at this moment.

Lin Fan didn't think too much of it; after all, Bibi Dong had always been somewhat lazy, and she had only woken up early a few times.

"Lin Fan, you're here." A crisp, sweet voice reached him.

Lin Fan looked up to see Chu Tingting walking over, her hair tied in a ponytail and dressed in a beautiful outfit.

"Senior Sister Tingting," Lin Fan said.

Chu Tingting nodded slightly, then sat down and asked, "Lin Fan, you're sparring with Ye Qing and the others today. Are you feeling any pressure?"

Pressure?

It didn't exist!

Lin Fan smiled slightly. "Although they are very strong, I'm not bad either. Give me some time, and I'll defeat them sooner or later."

"Is that so? I know their strength very well. Even an average Soul King might not necessarily win against them if they don't use their fifth soul skill."

Chu Tingting looked at Lin Fan skeptically.

Lin Fan was strong, but in yesterday's battle, Li Xiong had been careless!

After all, no one would take a fight against a soul master a dozen levels below them seriously!

If they had been serious from the start, given the strength Lin Fan had displayed, it would have been difficult for him to hold out for so long.

"Of course!" Lin Fan said confidently. "If I can complete the connection of forty-nine Star Seeds, the power of the soul skill I release will definitely not lose to their fourth soul skills."

"If I have a soul skill amplification, I feel its power won't be weaker than a ten-thousand-year soul skill!"

"Not weaker than a ten-thousand-year soul skill!" Chu Tingting was startled. She hadn't expected Lin Fan to be so bold as to claim that his special soul skill would not lose to a ten-thousand-year soul skill!

One had to know that a ten-thousand-year soul skill was something only a Soul King could possess!

Lin Fan smiled lightly. "Senior Sister Tingting, let's eat. Class time is almost here."

Hearing this, Chu Tingting said no more and began to eat in small bites.

Before long, the two of them headed toward the Soul Fighting Arena.

Along the way, many students looked on with envy as they saw Lin Fan and Chu Tingting walking together.

After all, Chu Tingting's beauty was well-known, and after her Martial Soul Possession, the wings of her Fluorescent Crystal Butterfly were like a dream!

They were filled with envy and jealousy toward Lin Fan! The male students wished they were the ones walking with Chu Tingting!

Many students lowered their voices to gossip.

"Is that Lin Fan? Not only did he get into the advanced academy, but he's also getting so close to Senior Sister Chu Tingting..."

"It's so infuriating! Senior Sister Chu is the dream lover of so many in our academy!"

"How is this fair? It's one thing that he's strong, but his luck with women is just as ridiculous!"

"I'm so jealous. We're all students, so why is the gap between us so huge?"

"Look at that calm expression of his; it's truly maddening!"

Waves of envy and jealousy flooded into Lin Fan's mind, and the system notification sounds rang out incessantly, his emotional value rising rapidly.

Lin Fan was secretly delighted, yet his face remained composed as he gazed calmly ahead.

Chu Tingting seemed to notice the surrounding gazes, her cheeks flushing slightly. She subconsciously glanced at Lin Fan and whispered, "These people are always like this; they stare no matter where we go."

Lin Fan turned his head to look at her and smiled, "Who told Senior Sister Tingting to be so beautiful? You're the center of attention wherever you go."

The remark made the tips of Chu Tingting's ears burn. She shot him a playful, reproachful glare and quickened her pace, "You're so young, yet your mouth is so sweet. Who knows how many women will fall for you in the future!"

Lin Fan's lips curled upward slightly. Women? That was a given; he was a man with grand ambitions!

Before long, the two entered the Soul Fighting Arena.

Under Chu Tingting's guidance, they went directly to the largest fighting ring in the arena.

It was a space that could seat a full five thousand spectators!

However, at this moment, only a few seats were occupied by students who were chatting with one another.

"Senior Sister Tingting, what is going on here?" Lin Fan asked, looking at the students on the stands.

Could it be that their training sessions were meant to be watched by these students?

"These are students from various advanced and intermediate Soul Master Academies; they are all here to watch our sparring."

"After all, only by witnessing more powerful battles can they gain deeper insights."

Chu Tingting explained.

Hearing this, Lin Fan nodded.

"Yo, Lin Fan, you're right on time," Li Xiong said, patting his chest with a booming voice.

Lin Fan smiled lightly, "It is the first day of formal classes, after all."

At the same time, Ye Qing, Xiao Yuan, and the others nodded in greeting.

Lin Fan responded to each of them in turn.

"Alright, fall in and assemble!" Seeing that the time was right, Qin Wei spoke up.

The group of eleven quickly stood in formation.

Seeing this, Qin Wei continued, "Since there is now one extra person on the team, your training will include an additional task from now on: battling Lin Fan!"

"Lin Fan's Martial Soul is quite unique, as you have all witnessed. Remember, do not be careless."

As he said this, Qin Wei specifically glanced at Li Xiong.

Li Xiong scratched his head in embarrassment, looking like an honest, simple-minded fellow.

The group chuckled softly, as they were all aware of yesterday's battle.

"Alright, let's begin."

"First match: Lin Fan versus Ye Qing."

"Second match: Lin Fan versus Xiao Yuan."

"Third match: Lin Fan versus Li Xiong."
