Hunt Soul, Dawn Flower!

"I wonder, why has Your Excellency summoned me?" Tang Yin asked, eyes lowered.

Tang Hao, concealing his identity, looked at Tang Yin, whose features bore a striking resemblance to Ah Yin. His emotions were complex, and he lowered his voice to alter his tone as he spoke:

"Innate Full Soul Power Blue Silver Grass. I never expected that while passing through this place, I would encounter such a unique existence."

"It is a pity that I have no intention of taking on disciples, and Blue Silver Grass has no potential to speak of, yet it would be a shame to let you wither away here."

"I shall accept you as a nominal disciple."

"Are you willing?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yin speculated on the man's identity.

He was inexperienced, but based on his knowledge of the original work and the current situation, the person before him was most likely Tang Hao!

Tang Yin asked, "May I ask for your name, Senior?"

Tang Hao replied indifferently, "Only when you have earned my recognition and become a true disciple will you be qualified to know my name."

Tang Yin remained silent, then bowed in salute: "This disciple greets his teacher."

Tang Hao nodded slightly and asked, "Kid, your name is Tang Yin, right?"

Tang Yin nodded and admitted, "That is correct."

"Do you have your first soul ring yet?" Tang Hao continued.

Tang Yin said, "Not yet."

"Ask for leave from the academy tomorrow; I will personally take you to obtain your first soul ring," Tang Hao said coolly.

"May I ask what kind of soul ring you intend for me to attach to my martial soul, Teacher?" Tang Yin asked curiously.

"Why do you have so many questions? From now on, speak less when you are with me—preferably not at all! Furthermore, you are currently only a nominal disciple; you are not qualified to call me Teacher. Call me Senior!" Tang Hao said in a deep voice.

Tang Yin remained silent, but thinking that the other party might be Tang Hao and was now his teacher, he figured it wouldn't be excessive to ask for some money, even as a nominal disciple.

"Senior, could you bestow some funds upon this disciple? I come from a poor family and am currently quite strapped for cash!" Tang Yin said, scratching his head.

The face behind Tang Hao's mask darkened, and he tossed over a bracelet: "This bracelet is a Soul Tool for storage. Inject your soul power into it to store items. Everything you need is inside."

"Come find me here again tomorrow morning."

With that, Tang Hao's figure vanished in an instant.

Tang Yin put the silver bracelet, inlaid with a milky-white jade stone, on his left wrist and injected his soul power into it.

He discovered that inside the storage Soul Tool, there was not only a money pouch but also a meditation manual.

After attempting to retrieve them, Tang Yin checked the number of Gold Soul Coins in the pouch; there were a full one hundred. The meditation manual had also been improved, differing significantly from the basic ones used by ordinary people.

On his way back, Tang Yin felt incredibly happy. With this, he would no longer have to struggle to worry about food and drink. The problem of obtaining a soul ring also had a solution.

When Tang Yin returned to Dormitory Seven, he found that everyone had already fallen asleep. Xiao Wu, who lacked bedding, was curled up under some old clothes, sleeping quite peacefully.

Winter is coming soon; I can't go without bedding. Thinking this, Tang Yin sat cross-legged on his bed and attempted to use the new meditation manual.

The next morning, Tang Yin opened his eyes early. Even though he hadn't slept all night, he felt refreshed and full of energy.

Tang Yin glanced at the others still sleeping, quietly left Dormitory Seven, and went to request leave.

Not long after.

Having secured his leave, Tang Yin arrived at the playground garden.

Before he could even speak, he was instantly snatched away by a figure.

The speed was so great that no one noticed a thing.

Inside the Soul Hunting Forest, hundreds of miles away from Nuoding City.

Tang Yin was dropped to the ground, gasping for air, his face flushed red.

"Follow me."

Tang Hao, still concealing his identity, said indifferently before walking forward.

Seeing this, Tang Yin caught his breath and hurried to follow.

Tang Hao seemed to have a clear target, not at all like a normal soul master wandering around in search of a soul beast.

After walking for about an hour, Tang Hao led Tang Yin to a stop in front of a bright, beautiful flower.

Tang Hao explained, "This flower is called the Dawn Flower. Its characteristic is its powerful life force. Most support-type soul masters who absorb this soul beast gain healing-type soul skills. Kill this flower and absorb its soul ring."

After speaking, Tang Hao tossed a short blade to Tang Yin and said, "This flower has no offensive capabilities; you only need to cut its stem."

"Senior, how many years old is this Dawn Flower?" Tang Yin asked.

Tang Hao glanced at Tang Yin and said indifferently, "Not too stupid yet, you at least know to ask about the age of the soul beast."

Tang Yin's mouth twitched, cursing inwardly.

"This Dawn Flower is a plant-type soul beast of over four hundred years. Because it has no offensive capabilities, its soul ring is much easier to absorb than that of a predatory beast. You can absorb it with peace of mind," Tang Hao said coolly.

Tang Yin nodded and swung the blade down.

The short blade was extremely sharp, severing the base of the Dawn Flower with ease.

The Dawn Flower drooped, and a moment later, a yellow halo quietly emerged.

"Use your soul power to guide this soul ring, then meditate to absorb it," Tang Hao's voice rang out.

Tang Yin gave it a try, succeeding on his first attempt, and began the absorption process.

It was a long process.

The soul ring absorption lasted for two hours before Tang Yin finally woke up.

The soul ring of the Dawn Flower had already settled upon his Blue Silver Emperor martial soul.

At the same time, he learned the effect of his first soul skill—Light of Recovery!

A healing soul skill!

It consumes soul power while simultaneously absorbing light energy to replenish his own soul power!

Powerful endurance!

"How is it? What is the soul skill?" Tang Hao asked indifferently.

"The soul skill is called Light of Recovery, a large-area healing soul skill," Tang Yin explained.

"Test your current Soul Power Level." Tang Hao flipped his hand to produce a crystal ball, which was vastly different from the one Su Yuntao had used to test soul power previously.

Tang Yin placed his hand on it with a hint of anticipation, and the next second, the crystal ball began to glow.

"Thirteen?"

Tang Hao raised an eyebrow, looking quite surprised.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yin was also very astonished.

"Let's go!"

Tang Hao did not waste words, immediately hoisting Tang Yin up and leaving the Soul Hunting Forest at high speed.

The round trip of several hundred kilometers, plus the absorption of the soul ring, had been completed in just one day.

Tang Yin had only just missed the opening ceremony.

"This Seat has other important matters to attend to and cannot stay here long." After returning Tang Yin to the academy, Tang Hao did not say another word and left directly.

Tang Yin did not notice any trace of Tang Hao's departure, his mind filled with thoughts as he walked.

By now, it was already evening.

Tang Yin realized he still lacked bedding, so he immediately left the academy, bought two sets, and then returned to the door of Dormitory Seven.

As for why he bought two sets, it was naturally to build a closer relationship with Xiao Wu.

I wonder if Tang San is dead or alive. If he is still alive, he is likely in the hands of the Martial Soul Hall, perhaps even being raised by them. At this thought, the corner of Tang Yin's mouth twitched involuntarily.

That would be too explosive!
