Leaving the Border Army

In the southwest of Fasinuo Province, near the Barak Kingdom, lies a plain along a main road.

Ling Yi rode on Treading Snow's back, his eyes closed as if taking a nap, letting Treading Snow go on its own.

Beside him stood Xiao Yan, who was over two meters tall, striding closely behind.

"Brother Yi, if you ask me, this transfer order is unreasonable. How can they treat people like this?"

On the empty plain road, Xiao Yan's booming voice carried far and wide, causing a series of rustling sounds from the waist-high grass on both sides of the road.

Xiao Yan continued speaking; he was getting impatient.

"Although the conflict with the Star Luo Empire has come to an end, and there shouldn't be any major clashes in the short term, but—"

Xiao Yan clenched his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and slammed it forward. He continued, "There are still so many wounded soldiers among the border troops..."

"Alright~" Ling Yi opened his eyes, glanced calmly at the indignant Xiao Yan beside him, and advised, "A Yan, don't talk about the orders from above. Since there are orders from above, and we are in the army, we must obey them."

After speaking, Ling Yi paused, then explained further:

"Perhaps it's because of my repeated requests to be transferred to other camps that some adults think I'm not mature enough..."

It wasn't that he wasn't steady enough; it was just that some people in the border army felt that Ling Yi had been able to quickly become one with the people in each camp he visited, and that his interpersonal relationships were too good, which they couldn't stand.

You, a mere military medic, Two-Ring Grand Soul Master Healing System, have become known to more than half of the million border troops of the Heaven Dou Empire in just half a year?

Where do you place us high-ranking military officers?!

If Ling Yi weren't so weak, many people would probably suspect that this kid was trying to win people over and take the opportunity to rise to power, or that he was planning something else.

Even though Ling Yi could never do that, given his strength, even Soul King like Ai'er Timosi could only serve as his medical supervisor in logistics, some people still found Ling Yi somewhat of an eyesore.

So, with a single transfer order, he was kicked out of the border army and temporarily transferred to the Barak Kingdom.

Soon, on the desolate and quiet road, apart from the rhythmic sound of four hooves Treading Snow, only Xiao Yan's occasional low murmurs could be heard.

Ling Yi closed his eyes again and continued to deduce various techniques and theories in the ' Sea of Consciousness Space '.

It includes an upgraded version of the "Beast Martial Soul: Xingyi Fist Stance" six forms, various combinations and arrangements of different Soul Guidance Array Patterns, Soul Power circulation routes, optimizations and further deductions of the "Basic Breathing Mental Cultivation Method"...

As for his current transfer away from the border troops, Ling Yi had long anticipated it.

When he first wanted to select his target from among the million soldiers of the border army, he had already prepared for the current situation.

After all, if you want to access more human subjects in the military, you inevitably have to move between the various camps of the border troops.

With more places to run around, this behavior naturally becomes more noticeable, not to mention Ling Yi's social skills, which are practically a bug in the educationally barbaric world of the Douluo Continent.

Anyone who has ever interacted with Ling Yi Ling Yi -to-face has very few feelings of dislike towards him; in fact, so far, not a single person has!

As a Healing System Soul Master who has saved thousands of lives, Ling Yi has always presented himself to the outside world as a kind person with maximum affability.

Such a kind-hearted person who is "powerless" – even if his network of connections develops rapidly, who would consider him a threat?

Of course, everyone has their own preferences, and it's possible that there are some narrow-minded people in this world who can't stand seeing others succeed, especially those who are more successful than them.

But at this moment, the "social butterfly" image that Ling Yi had cultivated among the million border troops over the past six months was by no means just for show.

Even the highest-ranking officers in the border army, if they wanted to do anything to Ling Yi, would have to first label him before proceeding to the next step.

Although those people didn't take Ling Yi, such a nobody, seriously at all, they might not even remember that there was a military doctor named Ling Yi in the border army.

Is a mere Grand Soul Master even worth their time?

"Regarding the Heaven Dou Border Army, although there are still about two or three hundred thousand pieces of material that we haven't come into contact with, but..."

Within his mind's Sea of Consciousness, Ling Yi (a mental projection) was simultaneously maintaining the mental energy consumed by the other smaller projections and calculating his current situation:

"What was that sentence I copied onto the note I left before I left with that martial arts school girl from Mount Emei for the last time?"

"It seems to be... 'When hospitalized, there are four things one should be wary of: First, one should not exhaust one's power; second, one should not enjoy all one's blessings; third, one should not follow all the rules; fourth, one should not say all the kind words...'"

"Although the line from ' The Storm Riders ' is more famous, this one is more fitting in terms of style... Wait, why am I thinking about all this random stuff again..."

"In short, I've decided to call it quits while I'm ahead—"

Ling Yi finally made an objective assessment of his life in the six months before joining the Heaven Dou Border Army.

Think about it, back in the [Water Wood Duchy], there was no further progress in the "Beast Martial Soul - Xingyi Fist Style" for many years. But after coming to the [Heaven Dou Empire], including that childish war period, it hasn't even been a year yet, and he has already deduced six upgraded versions of the fist style.

Not to mention, with such a large user base, Ling Yi has access to a much wider variety of Soul Master, including all sorts of Martial Soul, Soul Ring, and Soul Skill. This greatly enriches Ling Yi's database.

Although he doesn't have the backing of top-tier forces like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Spirit Hall, and can't access the books and materials accumulated by those two families over hundreds or thousands of years, he does have a human-shaped "databook" from the border army of the Heaven Dou Empire. In terms of knowledge about mid-to-lower-level Martial Soul, even the two families combined might not be able to match Ling Yi!

As Ling Yi's strength increased to the Three-Ring Soul Elder, people at all levels in the various camps of the border army became more accepting of Ling Yi's initiative in making friends.

Although those who acted behind the scenes did not learn of this in time due to their underestimation, those who had contact with Ling Yi knew that he was an eighteen-year-old Soul Elder!

At such an age and with such strength, what does it matter if his Martial Soul is "Blue Silver Grass"?

As a result, among the Heaven Dou Border Army, not to mention the Soul Elder who are now at the same level as Ling Yi, even some Soul Ancestor and even Soul King are very willing to make friends with Ling Yi.

Who wouldn't want a friend who is capable, has high potential, and has good character?

In terms of strength, Healing System Soul Master are ranked by their healing abilities. Ling Yi is by no means weaker than an ordinary Four-Ring Soul Ancestor. Under certain special circumstances, he can even heal some injuries that even Healing System Soul King cannot cure!

In terms of potential, the eighteen-year-old Soul Elder speaks for itself!

In terms of character, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Heaven Dou Border Army can vouch for him!
