Up close, Ning Rongrong was the first to come over, curiously sizing up Lin Yan's appearance.
"I was wondering why you looked so fair and clean-cut. Turns out you're a healing Soul Master~"
Lin Yan had been in charge of registering everyone and leading them to the training grounds just now. Perhaps because he was handsome and fair-skinned, Ning Rongrong had instinctively become a little more familiar with him.
Lin Yan smiled faintly. "Do you need healing too? My Soul Skill can also restore your stamina."
"Sure! Let me see what your skill does."
Ning Rongrong smiled sweetly. Seeing this, Lin Yan didn't hesitate any longer and opened his right palm toward the group.
As Soul Power flowed through his meridians, a small, deep-blue blade of grass slowly appeared. Unlike Tang San's dark-brown, vine-shaped grass, which had been imbued with poison, the little plant in Lin Yan's palm looked much purer and more slender...
It was like a long willow leaf, blue from tip to root, with faint silver patterns. As it swayed with the flow of Soul Power, it radiated gentle life energy and a blue glow.
"What? Your Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass too?"
Tang San let out a gasp, disbelief written all over his face.
"What's wrong with that?"
Lin Yan furrowed his brow slightly. "Aren't Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters the most common kind on the continent?"
He didn't intend to keep engaging with Tang San and turned to Ning Rongrong instead.
"Give me your hand."
"Oh, okay."
Ning Rongrong snapped out of her surprise and held out her wrist.
Three Soul Rings rose beneath Lin Yan's feet: one yellow and two purple. Then the Blue Silver Grass in his palm wound itself around her wrist.
[First Soul Skill: Life Tide.]
The glow began pulsing like a breath, and gentle life energy streamed along the Blue Silver Grass, flowing in waves into the girl's body.
"Mmm~"
The sudden rush of warmth felt so good that Ning Rongrong couldn't help letting out a soft moan. Realizing she'd lost control, she hurriedly covered her mouth.
"S-sorry, I didn't mean to."
A blush spread across the girl's pretty face. She lowered her head, not daring to meet Lin Yan's eyes.
Lin Yan chuckled. "It's fine. The energy in my Blue Silver Grass is pretty forceful. People who touch it for the first time usually need a little time to get used to it. Just bear with it for a moment."
Everyone's attention had been drawn to the healing Blue Silver Grass and Ning Rongrong's exclamation. They hadn't even noticed the unusual Soul Ring Configuration beneath Lin Yan's feet.
But Lin Yan turned to Zhu Zhuqing. "Classmate, if you want to restore your stamina or heal your injuries, you can hold out your wrist too."
Zhu Zhuqing furrowed her brows slightly. She had wanted to give it a try at first, but after seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction, she'd started to hesitate...
But even though she was hesitant, she was also incredibly curious. What kind of energy could feel so good that a girl couldn't help making an embarrassing sound in front of everyone? Did it really feel that good?
"Zhuqing, why don't you give it a try too? It feels great."
Seeing her torn expression, Ning Rongrong encouraged her.
At last, Zhu Zhuqing tentatively held out her wrist. "I don't need much. Just heal me a little."
Lin Yan nodded and controlled the Blue Silver Grass, winding it around Zhu Zhuqing's wrist. The two of them formed a connection...
[Second Soul Skill: Life Tide.]
The purple Soul Ring beneath Lin Yan's feet suddenly lit up, showing that he was using his second Soul Skill.
In an instant, an even more powerful surge of life energy than before poured into Zhu Zhuqing's body. The Blue Silver Grass connecting them made it obvious: the glow flickering along its blade was now much brighter than before.
Across from him, even though Zhu Zhuqing had prepared herself, her body still went limp.
"Mmm~"
"That's enough! I don't need this much. It's too much now..."
She covered her mouth just before a sound could escape, but despite that, a blush still spread across the girl's face.
As the warm current flowed into them, the two girls' stamina and Soul Power, depleted in the battle, were quickly replenished. Lin Yan only ended the skill once they had returned to peak condition.
"All done. Go rest over there. The assessment is over. I'll take you to the dorms in a little while."
Seeing that the two girls' faces were flushed and they seemed somewhat absorbed in his support, Lin Yan spoke up first, interrupting them.
"Oh, okay~"
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing came back to themselves. Blushing, they exchanged a glance, then walked together to the edge of the training grounds.
Only then did Lin Yan turn to Zhao Wuji.
He separated a blade of grass from his palm and handed it to him.
"Use it yourself! I'm off."
Zhao Wuji looked thoroughly exasperated. He took the blade of grass and held it in his palm, slowly absorbing its life energy to recover.
Tang San was stunned by the sight! Blue Silver Grass could be used like this?
The blade of grass Lin Yan had given away could still heal. If he prepared a few in advance...
Hiss~ The thought made him suck in a sharp breath!
Tang San turned to Lin Yan, eyes shining. "Could you please heal Xiao Wu and me too?"
Lin Yan turned around. He could clearly sense Tang San's eager anticipation, and at first, he'd wanted to refuse. But after thinking it over, he separated a blade of grass from his palm and handed it to him.
"Hold it in your palm and you can use its healing effect."
"As for your sister, do you mind if I wrap it around her wrist?"
Tang San was thrilled to take the blade of grass, but when he heard Lin Yan wanted to wrap it around Xiao Wu's wrist, his brows furrowed slightly.
As a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master himself, he naturally understood what Lin Yan meant. The Blue Silver Grass's touch could transmit the same sensations back to its master.
Wrapping the grass around Xiao Wu's wrist was like Lin Yan holding her wrist in his hand...
Tang San hesitated for two or three seconds before finally saying with some difficulty, "That's fine. Be careful."
Lin Yan nodded, then, as before, controlled the Blue Silver Grass and wrapped it around Xiao Wu's right hand.
All the while, Tang San kept his eyes fixed on Lin Yan and Xiao Wu, afraid they might do something more.
[Third Soul Skill: Life Great Tide!]
Lin Yan's clear voice rang in everyone's ears. The next second, an even more surging force of life than the previous two poured into the unconscious Xiao Wu like the mighty Yellow River in flood.
This time, the Blue Silver Grass connecting them wasn't merely flickering with a few specks of light. It was shining with an intense blue radiance, showing just how powerful the healing effect was.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both tensed instinctively at the sight.
Ning Rongrong: "Hiss~ Can Xiao Wu take it?"
Zhu Zhuqing: "I don't know, but she's unconscious. She probably won't react too strongly, right?"
There was a little fear in the girls' eyes, along with some anticipation and longing.
Tang San was also watching the process closely, hoping to learn something about the healing abilities of Lin Yan's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
Time passed, second by second. After about two or three minutes, the unconscious Xiao Wu finally reacted.
The girl's brow, which had been furrowed from the backlash of her Soul Skill, gradually relaxed. Leaning against the tree trunk, she began curling up unconsciously, as if she wanted to hug something. Her arms and legs pressed tightly together.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing realized: It's coming...
