Checking In at Soul Hunting Forest, Not Playing with the Old Scumbag

Yu Xiaogang had a basis for making such an assessment.

Every student had to provide certification from Spirit Hall upon enrollment.

The certificate stated their Innate Soul Power and Martial Soul.

He had always been searching for suitable disciples. Through his connection with the Dean, he had access to the information of every student who enrolled.

Naturally, he had also seen Lin Ye and Xiao Wu's records.

When he saw that Xiao Wu possessed Innate Full Soul Power, he had indeed been somewhat curious.

That was why he had come to take a look.

However, when he thought of the Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, he still found it regrettable and saw no need to take her as a disciple.

A Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul was unlikely to produce a Titled Douluo in the future.

Any disciple of Yu Xiaogang's would definitely become a Titled Douluo. Only then would they not disgrace his name as the Grandmaster.

"Xiao San, come with me later."

Yu Xiaogang paid no attention to Lin Ye at all.

Although it might have been an entirely new Martial Soul.

The Sword Grass Martial Soul did not look particularly powerful, merely a bare stalk.

Moreover, Lin Ye's Innate Soul Power was only Rank Seven, which did not meet his expectations.

For now, he should focus on training Tang San.

As long as Tang San became a Titled Douluo, the title of mentor to a Titled Douluo would resound throughout Douluo Continent.

All the humiliation he had suffered in the past would be washed away.

"Yes, Teacher."

Tang San trusted Yu Xiaogang greatly.

He believed this was a man of true talent.

He could recognize Tang San's Twin Martial Souls at a single glance.

With such knowledge, what did it matter if he had only Rank Twenty-Nine Soul Power?

Yu Xiaogang left soon afterward, and Tang San hurriedly followed him.

"What are they going to do?"

Xiao Wu scratched her head. He really had not taken her as a disciple.

What was wrong with the Soft Bone Rabbit?

She was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

As long as everything went smoothly, she would definitely become a Titled Douluo in the future.

"I don't know. Maybe knowledgeable people are all a little strange."

[Of course they're going to hunt Tang San's first Soul Ring.]

[That old scumbag Yu Xiaogang really is blind!]

[I'll sneak out and take a look. Might as well join the fun.]

Xiao Wu glanced at Lin Ye.

This guy said he did not know, but he actually knew everything.

His ability to foresee the future was truly terrifying.

After lunch, Lin Ye found one of the academy teachers and asked for leave, saying that he needed to return to his village because of a family matter.

The teacher readily approved his leave slip.

After successfully leaving the academy, Lin Ye immediately hurried toward Soul Hunting Forest.

Little did he know that Xiao Wu was quietly following behind him.

Lin Ye had another purpose for this trip: checking in!

As an important location in the storyline, Soul Hunting Forest would definitely yield plenty of rewards from checking in.

He could overlook other things, but he absolutely could not miss the rewards.

At that moment, Tang San was following Yu Xiaogang.

Upon arriving at the town outside Soul Hunting Forest, they could hear many people shouting.

Most of them were inviting others to form teams and enter Soul Hunting Forest.

To enter Soul Hunting Forest, one needed a permit.

Naturally, Lin Ye did not have one, but it did not matter.

He could just sneak in.

Soul Hunting Forest was so large that there would always be places the guards could not see.

Yu Xiaogang had a Spirit Hall Elder Token, a gift from Tang Hao.

With the Elder Token in hand, entering Soul Hunting Forest was naturally easy.

The moment the two entered Soul Hunting Forest, Lin Ye followed right behind them.

And Xiao Wu quietly followed several hundred meters behind him.

She was quite curious about Lin Ye coming here to join in the excitement.

This guy was so mysterious that she really wanted to know what exactly he intended to do.

After entering Soul Hunting Forest, Lin Ye did not bother with Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

Checking in was what mattered!

[I'm not playing with the little scumbag and the old scumbag. Taking care of business comes first!]

Taking care of business?

Could he be planning to hunt Soul Beasts?

Xiao Wu's heart tightened.

After all, she had taken human form from a Soul Beast and felt a deep attachment to Soul Beasts.

After thinking it over, she ultimately chose to continue following Lin Ye.

Yet to her surprise, after entering Soul Hunting Forest, Lin Ye quickly found a secluded cave and slipped right inside.

"What is this guy doing, hiding in a cave?"

Xiao Wu lingered at the entrance, unsure whether she should enter.

But soon, she sensed fluctuations of Soul Power coming from within.

Had he hunted a Soul Beast inside?

Xiao Wu rushed in at once, only to find Lin Ye sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The Sword Grass Martial Soul floated before him.

Two purple thousand-year Soul Rings descended from above and landed directly on the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Martial Soul.

Purple!

Thousand-year!

Xiao Wu's pupils shrank sharply.

Lin Ye had actually hunted a thousand-year Soul Beast.

Th-this was simply unbelievable!

No, there had been no battle here, nor were there any Soul Beast corpses.

So if he had not gained these Soul Rings by hunting Soul Beasts, what was going on?

Could it be... Lin Ye was also a Soul Beast that had taken human form?

This discovery instantly sent her favorable impression of Lin Ye soaring.

The world was so vast; it truly was not easy to encounter someone else who had taken human form from a Soul Beast.

It was just that Lin Ye's talent was somewhat terrifying.

She could currently only condense hundred-year Soul Rings.

Yet the Soul Rings Lin Ye had condensed were actually thousand-year Soul Rings.

The gap between them was truly terrifying.

So, Lin Ye's Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Martial Soul—

Or rather, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Soul Beast clan—what kind of terrifying existence was it?

After entering the cave, Lin Ye decisively chose to check in.

As an important setting in the storyline, checking in here had indeed earned him generous rewards.

Two thousand-year Soul Rings.

And they were each nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old!

In other words, they were max-level among thousand-year Soul Rings!

As expected of the Max Level Check-in System. Even its rewards were max-level.

In addition, he received another reward.

An External Soul Bone!

Dragon God Wings!

It was also nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old!

Moreover, an External Soul Bone possessed growth potential, meaning it could continuously improve as his Soul Power Level increased.

It could eventually even grow to the hundred-thousand-year level, or perhaps the million-year level!

Absorbing the two Soul Rings took some time.

Fortunately, the Soul Rings obtained through the system's check-in did not contain any Soul Beast spiritual backlash, and they could also ignore the body's absorption limit.

They were exceptionally easy to absorb.

It took roughly the time it took to burn two sticks of incense.

That speed was much faster than when Tang San absorbed his first Soul Ring.

Only after Xiao Wu saw that Lin Ye had absorbed the Soul Rings did she quietly leave the cave.

Since Lin Ye had already condensed Soul Rings, she needed to find somewhere to condense hers as well.

She could not fall too far behind.

Sister Xiao Wu had her pride too!

She still could not let go of the matter of Lin Ye having Innate Soul Power at Rank Twenty.

She even felt that she had been fooled.

Lin Ye clearly possessed such powerful strength, yet he had never fought her.

Her position as the boss of Dorm Seven felt as though she had picked it up for free.

No, rather, Lin Ye was simply too good at hiding himself.

Perhaps because he was a Soul Beast that had taken human form, he did not dare to draw too much attention.

Xiao Wu felt certain that her guess was correct!

"Rank Twenty-Five Soul Power. It seems the energy provided by the Soul Rings was sufficiently immense."

Lin Ye opened his eyes, very satisfied with his current condition.

Soul Skills unleashed through Soul Rings that were nearly ten thousand years old would definitely be formidable.

However, he should absorb the External Soul Bone first. That was a treasure!

With a flicker in his eyes, the glittering golden Dragon God Wings appeared before him.

Guided by his Soul Power, he officially began absorbing them.
