Thoughts of Leaving

March, 2609th year of the Douluo Calendar.

[Heaven Dou Empire], northern part of Fasinuo Province, ' Luyin City '.

[Luyin Junior Soul Master Academy], as one of the places to enter the realm of extraordinary power in the Douluo Continent, although the students living here are only six years old and no older than twelve, they are much more mature than their peers in the other ordinary world under the influence of the extraordinary power of their Martial Soul.

Logically speaking, boys and girls of this age should be innocent and naive, but in the Douluo Continent, many people have already begun to develop vague feelings for the opposite sex.

This may be the catalytic effect of extraordinary power on human growth.

Similarly, in the famous "Naruto World," characters are all only a few years old or around ten years old, yet they talk about love and romance all the time.

As the sun sets, a clear and melodious bell rings, and a group of students of all ages pour out of the college's teaching building, walking in twos and threes.

Just then, a figure holding flowers walked against the crowd toward a girl with bright blue hair.

"Ah Yin, would you like to team up with me for the group Soul Hunting next month? My father will be leading his team to hunt hundred-year-old Soul Beast in the Soul Beast Forest for me—!"

The speaker was a boy who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. Of course, this was due to his Martial Soul, which made him appear more mature; in reality, he was only thirteen years old.

Standing at 1.78 meters tall, with an upright posture and handsome face, his pair of almond-shaped eyes gave him an almost sexy charm.

Based on what he just said, a team that can help people hunt Hundred-Year Soul Beast must be a powerful and wealthy entity in a small city like Luyin City.

To sum it up in three words: tall, rich, and handsome!

The boys and girls passing by all showed strange expressions, but the difference was that most of the boys looked annoyed and amused, while the girls all had envious expressions.

After all, the person who came was once the Storm Riders in their [Luyin Junior Soul Master Academy].

Xie Wendong, Martial Soul "Black Joint Bamboo", Level 20, One-Ring Soul Master.

Four years ago, he became One-Ring Soul Master and graduated early from the [Luyin Junior Soul Master Academy]. Now he is studying at an intermediate Soul Master Academy in another city a hundred miles away.

Five or six years ago, when Ah Yin enrolled at the [Luyin Junior Soul Master Academy] and first saw this stunningly beautiful girl with fair skin, all the boys in the academy fell for her.

Over the years, many boys in the academy have expressed their affections, but without exception, they have all been decisively rejected by Ah Yin.

Will Ah Yin refuse Xie Wendong, who is so outstanding, this time?

That's the temptation of Hundred-Year Soul Ring!

The result is obvious.

"Thank you, but no need—"

Ah Yin parted her moist red lips slightly, revealing her pearly teeth, and politely but distantly refused, without the slightest hesitation in her words.

Hearing Ah Yin's decisive refusal, some of the younger students who had enrolled in recent years looked surprised, while others who were in the same year as Ah Yin and had not yet graduated looked as if they had known this would happen.

Xie Wendong was not surprised. He had heard that when this junior sister Ah Yin entered the school five or six years ago, she was already One-Ring Soul Master, and the first ring in a hundred years!

Just think, at six years old, he was the first One-Ring Soul Master stage!

These two points combined suggest that Ah Yin not only possesses extremely high Innate Soul Power, but also likely has a powerful backer.

But!

Xie Wendong thought that no one had ever visited Ah Yin at the academy over the years, and that Ah Yin's Martial Soul was the notoriously Martial Soul "Blue Silver Grass," and his confidence surged again.

After all, with Hundred-Year Soul Ring, it's possible that Ah Yin just stumbled upon a lucky find, encountering some obviously flawed Hundred-Year Soul Beast. Given that plant-type Soul Beast cannot move, they could probably be dealt with with a single fire.

Over the years, it's not that no Soul Master on the Douluo Continent has ever done this before; however, the Empire and the Spirit Hall have strictly prohibited such practices, and there's also the risk of completely enraging the numerous Soul Beast in the Soul Beast Forest, potentially triggering a beast tide.

"Ah Yin," Xie Wendong clearly didn't want to give up and continued, "With the abilities of your ' Blue Silver Grass ' Martial Soul, it's obvious you can't survive in the Soul Beast Forest."

"If you stay with the academy's teachers, your Second Soul Ring might not be as lucky as your First Soul Ring. The most likely outcome is that you'll get a white Soul Ring for a tenth-grade student..."

According to Xie Wendong's information, Ah Yin has not participated in a single group Soul Hunting since arriving at the [Luyin Junior Soul Master Academy].

Clearly, even though the "Blue Silver Grass" Martial Soul was a useless one, and she had extremely high Innate Soul Power, which made her One-Ring Soul Master at the age of six, she probably didn't break through to level 20 in the next five or six years.

In any case, according to the information Xie Wendong learned, when Ah Yin sparred with her classmates a few days ago, she was still using the same yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring she had when she entered school.

However, according to the teachers at the academy, Ah Yin's Soul Power should have reached level 20. In any case, that's the conclusion reached by those Grand Soul Master and Soul Elder after watching Ah Yin's several moves.

That's why Xie Wendong approached him earlier, ostensibly to propose forming a team, but in reality, he wanted to take advantage of his proximity to the source and showcase his own excellence.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior," Ah Yin said calmly, declining again.

Upon hearing this, Xie Wendong panicked. "But...!"

However, before Xie Wendong could finish speaking, Ah Yin stretched out her right hand, her fair and delicate palm facing the sky.

The next second, a small, azure grass with golden veins appeared in Ah Yin's palm.

However, no one looked at the strangely shaped, beautiful little grass; instead, they stared intently at the spot where Ah Yin was standing.

There, two bright yellow halos were silently circling and flashing.

The scene below the teaching building fell silent for a moment. Ah Yin ignored Xie Wendong, withdrew her Martial Soul and Soul Ring, and walked lightly out of the crowd with a few books in her arms.

After a long silence, someone in the crowd finally spoke, their tongue seemingly tied in knots:

"A... a... a... a... Grand Soul Master —??!!"

On the other side, Ah Yin walked quickly back to the dormitory, where her roommates had not yet returned.

Ah Yin glanced at the closed door and windows, then summoned her Martial Soul once more, with two yellow Soul Ring still beneath her feet.

Sudden!

A blue halo flashed, and the second Soul Ring under Ah Yin's feet flickered, its color immediately deepening.

At the same time, another Soul Ring gradually appeared outside the two Soul Ring, changing from transparent to white, then to yellow, and finally turning into a dazzling purple.

Her eyes, as bright as stars, reflected three Soul Ring —two yellow and one purple. Ah Yin frowned slightly, thinking to herself:

"Back then, I didn't understand the human world and showed up with Hundred-Year Soul Ring. If I had known, I would have used my domain power to disguise the color of my First Soul Ring, showing it as a tenth-grade white Soul Ring, and I wouldn't have attracted so much attention—"

"Although the Third Soul Ring hasn't been revealed, the exposure of the Second Soul Ring today still poses some risks."

"Besides, we've all reached graduation age at the primary Soul Master Academy, so we can't stay here any longer—"
