At that thought, a warm smile appeared on Xue Yue's face. "All right! You can have this little one. Come over and absorb the Soul Ring!"
"Teacher Xue Yue, you killed this Soul Beast. How can you just give it to him?" It was still that boy, his face full of confusion. To him, this was utterly unbelievable.
But Xue Yue answered him with a sharp rebuke. "Dan Cheng, shut up!"
Although the boy named Dan Cheng still looked unwilling, he immediately fell silent.
Clearly, Xue Yue carried quite a bit of authority!
"Thank you!"
Wang Sheng was overjoyed. After all, as that boy named Zhang Cheng had said, Xue Yue had killed this Soul Beast. She had every right not to let him absorb it!
Even a smile appeared on Mei Hu's little face.
Wang Sheng and Mei Hu stepped out from the shadows of the trees, and the three of them immediately saw their faces clearly. They were all stunned, because Mei Hu was simply too outstanding.
She was so beautiful that she appealed to everyone, regardless of age or gender.
Dan Cheng regretted it now. If he had known the newcomers included such an adorable and beautiful little girl, why the hell would he have tried to stop them?
He wanted nothing more than to slap himself twice!
The girl nearby was also staring blankly at Mei Hu, her little face flushed red as she cried out inwardly, How could there be such an adorable, beautiful girl in this world?
Wang Sheng sat down beside the Blood Phoenix Bird and used the Soul Power within him to draw over the Soul Ring. He began refining it!
Mei Hu, meanwhile, stood guard beside him.
Xue Yue was the first to recover. Looking at Mei Hu's little face, she thought to herself, How could there be such a beautiful little one in this world? Even I feel somewhat inferior.
After all, she was the number one beauty in the academy! That was true among both teachers and students. Yet she had never expected to be outshone by this little girl.
And that boy was rather handsome too, full of masculine charm.
Her interest was piqued, and she asked, "Little one, what's your name? Why are just the two of you hunting Soul Beasts and obtaining Soul Rings by yourselves? Where are your family members?"
Upon hearing Xue Yue's words, Mei Hu's acting skills erupted once again. "Sob... Our family is all dead! Now it's just my brother and me, depending on each other... sob!"
With tears streaming down her face, Mei Hu looked utterly pitiful.
She immediately won the sympathy of all three of them, and the two little ones behind Xue Yue ran over at once.
"Hello, my name is Dan Cheng."
The little boy introduced himself first, then patted his chest and declared, "You can follow us from now on! I'll definitely take good care of you."
Unfortunately, Mei Hu held grudges. He had tried several times to stop Wang Sheng from absorbing the Soul Ring earlier, and she had already remembered it. Why would she pay any attention to him now?
"Hehe!" Dan Cheng could only laugh awkwardly.
The other little girl immediately took Mei Hu's hand and said, "You're so pretty! Can we be friends?"
"Friends?" Mei Hu froze for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face. "Sure! My name is Mei Hu!"
"My name is Wu Xiao'ai. I'm a One-Ring Soul Master of the support type!"
Mei Hu tilted her head and thought for a moment. "I'm a One-Ring Soul Master too, but I don't know what type I am!"
She had a reason for saying that, because her Mei Hu Martial Soul could be used as a control type, or developed along agility attack or power attack paths. She had yet to decide!
"Huh?"
Wu Xiao'ai was dumbfounded. Under normal circumstances, Soul Masters would decide which path to take before even obtaining their Soul Rings.
Yet Mei Hu was already a One-Ring Soul Master like her and still did not know what type she was.
"Why don't you summon your Martial Soul and let Teacher Xue Yue take a look? She'll definitely know. She's the best teacher in our academy!"
After saying that, Wu Xiao'ai immediately ran to Teacher Xue Yue's side and grabbed her hand, shaking it repeatedly. "Right, Teacher Xue Yue?"
"All right! Xiao'ai is right. If you trust me, you can summon your Martial Soul and tell me about its traits. I can give you a suitable suggestion."
Mei Hu did not hide anything and said directly, "Sure! My Martial Soul has the same name as me: Mei Hu! It has the traits of all beast-type Martial Souls that enhance the body and speed, and it also has a special petrification ability."
"Petrification?"
Xue Yue caught the key point.
Wu Xiao'ai was also full of curiosity.
"Mm."
Mei Hu thought for a moment, then turned toward Dan Cheng, who was still staring fixedly at her, and gave him a radiant smile.
"Am I cute?"
At the same time, her Soul Ring lit up.
Then, within a single breath, Dan Cheng turned into a stone statue.
Finally, she huffed arrogantly. "Hmph, let's see if you keep staring now!"
Xue Yue: ""
Wu Xiao'ai: ""
Now they understood what petrification meant. But was Dan Cheng all right?
"Mei Hu, is he okay?"
Xue Yue could not help asking. If something truly happened to Dan Cheng, she would bear unavoidable responsibility. But Mei Hu's attack was too strange; she had not even had the chance to stop it.
"He's fine. After a while, the stone on his body will shatter and he'll recover. He won't be harmed in the slightest!"
"Whew!"
Xue Yue could not help letting out a sigh of relief. She truly could not bring herself to hurt such an adorable little girl as Mei Hu. But if something had happened to Dan Cheng, she would have had no choice but to act against Mei Hu. After all, it was her responsibility as a teacher.
At the same time, her eyes lit up as she looked at Mei Hu. Such Martial Soul traits were far too special. If she could bring Mei Hu into the academy and nurture her properly, Mei Hu would definitely shine brightly in the academy competition.
"Mei Hu, how old are you this year?"
"Six! Why?"
"Six?"
Xue Yue and Wu Xiao'ai both cried out in surprise, because Mei Hu looked at least ten years old. Just looking at Wu Xiao'ai, who was also six, made that clear. Mei Hu was a whole head taller than her.
Xue Yue's gaze brightened even further. If she had previously valued Mei Hu's unusual Martial Soul, then now she was stunned by Mei Hu's talent.
"Are you interested in joining our academy?" Xue Yue immediately extended an invitation.
"The academy?"
Mei Hu glanced at Wang Sheng, who was still absorbing the Soul Ring.
How could Xue Yue fail to understand? She immediately said, "Don't worry. As long as you want to attend the academy, even if your brother's talent is a little lacking, I'll find a way to let him join as well. Hmm?"
By the end, she felt that something was off!
