Soul Crystal

With the help of a soul beast, Li Han successfully lured the academy teacher and Wang Sheng to this place.

"Wang Sheng! Your luck is incredible! This is a hundred-year Red Flame Tiger! It looks like someone beat it badly, but they didn't need its Soul Ring.

Hurry! Go stab it to death and absorb its Soul Ring!"

The academy teacher was overjoyed when he saw the dying Red Flame Tiger and immediately urged Wang Sheng to act.

Wang Sheng was trembling with excitement as he rushed forward and killed the Red Flame Tiger with a single slash.

He had never imagined that he would have the chance to obtain a hundred-year Soul Ring. He was truly too lucky!

Without a second thought, Wang Sheng immediately began absorbing the hundred-year Soul Ring.

"Done."

Watching from the shadows, Li Han smiled in satisfaction.

He had carefully selected this Red Flame Tiger for Wang Sheng. Its age was just right, so Wang Sheng had no trouble absorbing it.

Very soon, Wang Sheng finished absorbing it, and a yellow Soul Ring appeared around him.

Satisfied by the sight, Li Han left.

"Now that this is taken care of, it's time to handle my own business."

Li Han quickly found a suitable target.

A hundred-year Shadow Tree!

"It's large enough, rich in Soul Power, and weak in attack. There's enough time to refine it into a Soul Beast Crystal."

Li Han immediately took out an Array Disk. With a push of his Divine Sense, eight Array Flags flew out and planted themselves around the Shadow Tree.

"Spirit Condensing Formation, activate!"

Pale yellow light emerged from the eight Array Flags, connecting into a barrier of light that completely enveloped the Shadow Tree.

The powerful formation activated, instantly making the Shadow Tree sense danger.

The Shadow Tree swayed its branches, sending countless leaves flying toward the Array Flags.

Shadow Leaf Blade!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

In an instant, countless sparks burst from the Array Flags, which trembled as though they were about to collapse.

Li Han frowned. He knew he could not let the Shadow Tree continue attacking the Array Flags, or they might be damaged.

After all, it was a low-tier formation. It was also a support-type formation without offensive or defensive capabilities, so dealing with such attacks was too much of a strain.

Li Han immediately used Smoke-Drifting Steps, rapidly closing the distance to the Shadow Tree. Soul Power surged through his hands as flames gathered, and he struck out with both palms at once!

Fireball Technique!

Two fireballs instantly slammed into the Shadow Tree. The blazing heat made it shake violently. Though it made no sound, its painful struggle could still be felt.

Li Han showed no mercy and followed up with another Fireball Technique. The Shadow Tree no longer had the strength to resist.

"Refine it with full force!"

Li Han slammed the Array Disk onto the ground, pouring Soul Power into it like mad and driving the formation's power to its limit.

A quarter of an hour later, the Shadow Tree vanished. Only a yellow Soul Beast Crystal remained where it had stood.

Li Han picked it up and examined it closely.

"So this is a Soul Beast Crystal? Its Soul Power really is abundant. A hundred-year Soul Crystal like this is enough to sustain a low-tier formation for a hundred uses."

Li Han was delighted. This Soul Crystal was even more durable than he had imagined.

"Since the Spirit Condensing Formation works, I'll make a few more Soul Crystals this time and bring them back as reserves."

With Li Han's current mastery of formations, he could only set up some low-tier formations, so these Soul Crystals were enough for now.

If he wanted to refine high-tier Array Disks, he would still need to practice step by step, starting with low-tier formations. It was a matter of proficiency.

"There are too few thousand-year soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest. If I want better Soul Crystals later, I'll have to consider going to a larger Soul Beast Forest.

For example, the Sunset Forest or the Star Dou Great Forest."

As Li Han's cultivation grew deeper, the beginner-level Soul Hunting Forest could no longer meet his needs.

Once he reached level thirty, he would have to consider a Soul Ring that was at least three thousand years old.

Soul beasts of that level were extremely rare in the Soul Hunting Forest. Even if he encountered one, it might not suit Li Han's needs.

"At this pace, I should break through to level thirty in about half a year.

I'll think about the Soul Ring when that time comes."

A few days later.

Li Han returned to Nuoding Academy with ten hundred-year Soul Crystals and three thousand-year Soul Crystals. His haul was truly plentiful.

Dorm Seven.

"Li Han! You're finally back! We were just waiting for you!

Let me tell you, my luck this time was amazing! I actually got a hundred-year Soul Ring!

My Soul Power has risen to level eleven!

The dean introduced me to Exotic Beast Academy. I can enroll there next semester!"

Wang Sheng danced with excitement, his face filled with anticipation for the future.

Nuoding Academy was only a junior academy, and becoming a Soul Master was the graduation threshold. To obtain better teaching resources, one had to attend a higher-level Soul Master Academy.

Exotic Beast Academy was one such academy.

It mainly recruited Soul Masters with beast-type Martial Souls, making it quite suitable for Wang Sheng.

He was already a sixth-year student and would soon graduate, so he could head there directly for classes.

"Congratulations, Wang Sheng."

Li Han was sincerely happy for Wang Sheng as well.

"Hehe. Li Han, I'll come back to see you whenever I have time!

When you graduate, you can consider going to Exotic Beast Academy too. We can be roommates again then."

"I'll consider it."

"Tonight, I'm planning to treat everyone to a meal as a celebration."

"Alright."

Graduation and parting always carried a touch of melancholy.

On the open grounds of Nuoding Academy, the eight people from Dorm Seven sat together, enjoying their final time of reunion.

"Wang Sheng, if anyone bullies you after you get to Exotic Beast Academy, come back and tell me. Sister Xiao Wu will stand up for you!"

Xiao Wu stood with her hands on her hips, fully radiating the presence of a big sister.

"Alright, Sister Xiao Wu!

Come to think of it, you and Tang San have already become Soul Masters. Aren't you planning to attend a higher-level Soul Master Academy?

The resources there are much better than those at Nuoding Academy.

If you go earlier, you'll improve faster too."

"If I leave, who will look after everyone in Dorm Seven? So I'm definitely staying for all six years before I leave."

As a transformed soul beast, Xiao Wu did not need academy resources in the first place.

If transformed soul beasts did not need contact with humans to increase their strength, she might not even have left the Star Dou Great Forest. After all, it was far too dangerous.

And now, Xiao Wu's most important cultivation resource was Li Han's Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Leaf.

Therefore, wherever Li Han went in the future, she would follow.

To Xiao Wu, Li Han was more important than any cultivation resource.

"I'm cultivating with my teacher, so there's no rush for me to attend a higher-level Soul Master Academy."

Tang San spoke softly.

Yu Xiaogang had never explained in detail just how good the resources at higher-level Soul Master Academies were, so Tang San had only a vague understanding of them.

As a result, Tang San currently believed that following Yu Xiaogang was enough for him to become strong, and academy resources were not important.

Xiao Wu suddenly thought of something and looked at Li Han curiously.

"Li Han, which higher-level Soul Master Academy do you plan to attend in the future? I'll go with you."

"I haven't decided yet. We'll see when the time comes."

For Li Han, which Soul Master Academy he attended was not important. What mattered was where he could check in.

Judging by the system's usual style, he would definitely have to visit Shrek Academy and claim a check-in reward.

But whether he actually studied at Shrek Academy would be his own choice.

He had no interest in running laps at Shrek Academy, so he would probably leave right after checking in.
