Liu Dekuai did not say much. He took out a crystal ball and placed it on the table. "Put your hand on it and test your Soul Power."
Qian Ye did not make a move immediately. Instead, he looked toward Rou Shui. "You go first."
Rou Shui giggled, understanding what he meant, and placed her hand on it.
The crystal ball slowly began to glow.
Liu Dekuai glanced at the crystal ball, his expression utterly calm. "Rou Shui, Soul Power Level 3. You can receive one Gold Soul Coin in self-funded academy subsidies each month."
He immediately took out a Gold Soul Coin and handed it to her.
Rou Shui accepted it, beaming with delight.
For her, one Gold Soul Coin a month was enough to cover her living and meal expenses at the academy.
"Little Xue, you go first," Qian Ye said.
"Mm."
Qian Renxue answered and placed her hand on it.
To the old man's surprise, the crystal ball lit up brilliantly.
She was already Level 22!
Liu Dekuai was secretly astonished. Fortunately, this was a Level 40 Soul Power testing crystal ball.
If it had been a Level 20 one, the crystal ball would have exploded by now.
He had never expected this little girl to already be Level 22 at only six years old. That meant she had already absorbed two Soul Rings.
"Qian Renxue, forgive me for asking, but at Level 22, have you already absorbed two Soul Rings?"
"Yes, Grandpa!" Qian Renxue nodded.
Liu Dekuai fell into thought. Even His Holiness the current Pope, with Twin Martial Souls, had not been as outstanding as this little girl!
It seemed she was no ordinary person.
"Very good, Qian Renxue. As a Level 22 Soul Grandmaster, you can receive ten Gold Soul Coins in subsidies every month."
As he spoke, he counted ten Gold Soul Coins from the drawer and held them out to her.
Seeing the ten glittering Gold Soul Coins, Rou Shui's face filled with envy.
Then she thought of how, once her Soul Power rose, she could cultivate to Level 10, Level 20, or even Level 30!
Then she too would be able to receive so many Gold Soul Coins, and her heart began to race with excitement.
The little girl firmly believed that day would come.
Although Qian Renxue did not lack money, she was still happy to see that she had earned those ten Gold Soul Coins through her own ability.
She immediately held out both hands. "Thank you, Grandpa."
Seeing Qian Renxue's sweetness, Liu Dekuai was infected by her smile as well. "Little girl, don't flaunt your wealth. Keep it carefully after you return, or someone might set their sights on it."
"Okay, Grandpa." Qian Renxue agreed, took them back, and put them into her Ring Soul Tool.
Rou Shui looked on with envy again. She wished she had such a precious Soul Tool.
On today's Douluo Continent, Soul Tools were extremely rare. Many Soul Masters did not have one.
Seeing that it was his turn, Qian Ye smiled, stepped forward, and placed his hand on it.
The crystal ball instantly shone brilliantly, its light nearly illuminating the entire subsidy office.
"This... how is this possible?!" Liu Dekuai's face changed in shock. He rose from his seat, walked around the desk, and came behind Qian Ye.
"Level 33? Little fellow, how did you do it?"
Qian Ye merely smiled without answering.
"Grandpa, Brother Qian Ye has Twin Martial Souls. The moment he awakened, he already had Innate Full Soul Power at Level 30."
"Innate Full Soul Power at Level 30... A genius, a true super genius!"
Unable to contain himself any longer, Liu Dekuai grabbed Qian Ye's hands. "Quick... let Grandpa see your Twin Martial Souls?"
"Mm."
Qian Ye nodded. Seeing how excited the old man was, he spread both hands, and two Martial Souls emerged from his palms.
Liu Dekuai's eyes lit up at once. "Little fellow, incredible! Twin Martial Souls are a sight seen only once in a hundred years."
"In the past century, only two people have appeared on our Douluo Continent. The first was His Holiness the Pope of our Spirit Hall."
"The second... ah, what a pity!"
Qian Renxue giggled. She had already heard about this matter from her grandfather and the elders.
Twenty-Four Winged Eternal Angel Martial Soul's First Soul Ring: Million Years
"Little fellow, this is yours!"
Liu Dekuai counted out one hundred Gold Soul Coins and placed them all on the table.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Qian Ye smiled slightly. One hundred Gold Soul Coins was no small sum.
Seeing the pile of Gold Soul Coins, Rou Shui's eyes sparkled again.
One hundred Gold Soul Coins... so amazing!
Will... will I have a day like that too?
Yes, I will!
Rou Shui's face was full of hope.
"Brother Qian Ye, you're amazing!" Qian Renxue was also happy and proud.
"Of course!" Qian Ye did not stand on ceremony. He picked up the Gold Soul Coins and put them all into his Ring Soul Tool.
Then the three of them left the subsidy office together.
There were no classes in the afternoon.
After waking from his nap, Qian Ye planned to find something to do.
Right!
The system had rewarded him with a Million-Year Soul Ring. Since he had the time, he might as well use it to let one of his Martial Souls absorb it!
Three Martial Souls.
Qian Ye pondered which Martial Soul he should give it to.
The Carrot Martial Soul?
The Nunchaku Martial Soul?
Or the Twenty-Four Winged Eternal Angel Martial Soul?
In the end, to be safe, Qian Ye decided to give this Million-Year Soul Ring to the Twenty-Four Winged Eternal Angel Martial Soul.
Moreover, among his three Martial Souls, only the Twenty-Four Winged Eternal Angel Martial Soul currently had the capacity to withstand it.
After considering it, Qian Ye knew that absorbing a Soul Ring in the academy dormitory was definitely not an option.
He could be disturbed at any time. He needed to find a place with no one around.
After thinking for a moment, Qian Ye immediately had a destination in mind.
From his observations yesterday, Spirit Hall Academy had been built against the mountains.
The mountains behind the academy stretched as far as the eye could see, rolling endlessly.
So, if he went farther out, he could find a quiet place to absorb the Soul Ring.
Qian Ye did not think any further. He immediately changed into climbing clothes and headed out.
Eventually, while no one was paying attention, he arrived at the boundary of the mountains behind the academy.
However, a towering wall stood between the academy's Small Forest and the back mountains, nearly ten zhang high.
It really would not be easy to get across.
But there was a back gate leading to the mountains.
There were also as many as five guards watching it.
Normally, academy students could enter and leave the back mountains using their academy badges.
Qian Ye hung his academy badge on his chest and walked through the gate. The guards glanced at his badge, and not one of them stepped forward to stop him.
The academy badge really was useful.
The badge was equivalent to a pass and identification for Spirit Hall Academy.
With it, entering and leaving freely was only natural.
Qian Ye quickly passed through the forest, getting farther and farther from the academy.
To keep anyone from following him, and to guard against being tracked.
Using Treading Snow Without Trace, he swiftly crossed mountains and ridges, passed six small peaks, and arrived before the seventh.
Still worried that someone might be following him, Qian Ye climbed a large tree, made his way to a branch, and looked around in every direction.
About ten minutes later, he finally climbed down from the tree.
Once Qian Ye saw that no one was following him, he found a secluded corner where no other Soul Beasts appeared and sat down behind a large tree.
His concern was not without reason.
Bibi Dong had already set her sights on him, and he feared she might send someone to follow him.
Others would have been one thing, but what Qian Ye feared most was Ghost Demon.
As a Level 93 Title Douluo, Ghost Demon was immensely powerful.
More importantly, Ghost Demon's Martial Soul possessed an Invisibility Skill.
If Ghost Demon followed him, then unless one's Spiritual Power was strong enough, there was no way to detect him.
Although Qian Ye's current strength was not enough to defeat a Title Douluo, he still had trump cards, so he was not overly worried.
"White Dragon, White Dragon?" That was right—Qian Ye's trump card was the ancient White Dragon Guardian Spirit.
With her standing guard, he would not need to fear absorbing the Soul Ring.
Buzz—
At his call, white light flashed across his forehead, and a palm-sized little figure appeared before him.
Qian Ye looked at the adorable little figure. Since she was still obedient enough, he felt pleased.
"Master, why did you call this dragon?" White Dragon asked, her eyes wide.
Perhaps because of her size, what had originally been a mature woman's voice was now completely the voice of a little girl.
Qian Ye reached out and flicked the little one on the head. "I'm going to absorb a Soul Ring. Just stand guard for me."
White Dragon did not answer immediately. After a while, she said, "Master, White Dragon obeys your command."
"Very good, very good!" Qian Ye tapped White Dragon's little head with his finger.
"Hmph."
White Dragon turned her head away, no longer wanting to pay attention to him.
Qian Ye gave a mischievous smile, scanned the surroundings once more, and stopped wasting words as he sat down cross-legged.
He then took the Million-Year Soul Ring from the system space and placed it before him.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
The moment the Million-Year Soul Ring appeared, golden light flashed.
The reddish-gold Soul Ring radiated golden light in every direction.
This was the color of a Million-Year Soul Ring.
