Six Years, a Young Girl Comes of Age!

Ever since Tang San moved out of the Seventh Dormitory, he had begun Yu Xiaogang's six-year devilish training...

"Ten-year Lone Bamboo and devilish training? What a joke!"

Ao Yin noticed Yu Xiaogang's actions but did not pay them much mind. Let him be as strong as he pleased; the clear breeze brushed over the mountain ridge.

Want to catch up to me? Go talk to my sign-in system!

Ao Yin ignored them outright. From then on, aside from nurturing his relationship with Xiao Wu each day, he signed in at Notting Academy, turning all of Tang San's destined fortune into sign-in rewards!

[ Ding! Sign-in at Notting Academy successful. Obtained a Level 2 reward: Appearance-Shifting Art (freely alter your appearance, voice, and Soul Ring colors!) ]

Time flew by, and six years slipped away in the blink of an eye!

During his first year after enrollment, relying on the daily boost from signing in, Ao Yin forcibly raised the lifespan of his first Soul Ring, [Fire Glass Vine Serpent], all the way to a full ten thousand years!

In his third year, his second Soul Ring, [Six-Winged Frost Centipede], also became a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring!

In his fourth year, Ao Yin's Soul Power Level smoothly broke through the threshold of level thirty, making him a Soul Elder.

He had deliberately gone to Soul Hunting Forest to trigger a sign-in, only to unexpectedly receive an exceptional Level 2 reward, getting his third Soul Ring—the Blood Jade Spider—for free!

The initial lifespan of this Soul Ring was practically zero, and its color remained pale white.

By the sixth year, through the day-after-day, year-after-year accumulation of sign-ins at Notting Academy, he had forcibly raised his third Soul Ring, [Blood Jade Spider], to the ten-thousand-year tier as well!

Besides that, he had also signed in to obtain a cultivation technique—[Appearance-Shifting Art]!

It allowed him to change his appearance and voice at will, even freely adjusting the colors of his Soul Rings!

The only limitation was that the Soul Ring level he manifested could not exceed its true lifespan.

Now, all three of Ao Yin's Soul Rings were ten-thousand-year Soul Rings. He could switch them freely between white, yellow, purple, and black as he pleased!

If he did not use the Appearance-Shifting Art or deliberately disguise himself, the three Soul Rings he displayed would only be pale white, yellow, and pale white!

They looked utterly ordinary. No matter how one looked at him, he was merely an unremarkable Soul Elder, yet his true foundation was absurdly terrifying!

All three Soul Rings were genuine ten-thousand-year black rings!

And their lifespans continued to stack day by day, slowly advancing toward hundred-thousand-year red Soul Rings!

After only six years of academy sign-ins, Notting Academy's fortune visibly continued to decline, and the sign-in rewards shrank year by year.

The initial five-hundred-year lifespan boosts had gradually dwindled away. Now, he could only sign in for Gold Soul Coins each day!

Fortunately, after six years of accumulation, Ao Yin had completely transformed. His Soul Power Level had reached a terrifying level thirty-nine, and with three ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, he was only one step away from becoming a Soul Ancestor!

As for Xiao Wu, after six years, she remained a level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster. With two hundred-year Soul Rings in hand, she had become the peerless genius admired by countless people throughout Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

As for Tang San, under Yu Xiaogang's devilish training, even after losing his fortune, he had still reached level twenty-nine as a Soul Grandmaster.

It was said that, with Grandmaster's help, he had also obtained a yellow Soul Ring of more than six hundred years!

Like Xiao Wu, he had become a dazzling genius student at the academy.

But compared with Ao Yin, who had enrolled in the same year as them, they were instantly eclipsed.

A level-thirty-nine Soul Elder crushed every genius in the academy.

Even though Tang San was somewhat unwilling to accept it, he had to admit that Ao Yin had... without any dispute, become the unquestionable top graduate of Notting Academy's class!

Countless top intermediate Soul Master Academies extended olive branches, competing to recruit this peerless genius under exceptional terms.

But Ao Yin did not even think about it before rejecting them all.

Behind Notting Academy, beneath the moon amid blooming flowers.

Xiao Wu's face was full of confusion as she asked softly, "Brother Ao, those intermediate Soul Master Academies are all clearly very good. Why did you reject every one of them?"

"Xiao Wu, where do you plan to go after graduation?"

Rather than answering Xiao Wu's question, Ao Yin asked another one.

"Wherever Brother Ao goes, Xiao Wu will go!"

Xiao Wu's answer nearly blurted out. Over six youthful years by Ao Yin's side, she had experienced the joy of being human.

"Good! Then let's go to... Shrek Academy, shall we?"

"Shrek?"

Xiao Wu had never heard of this academy.

A faint smile curled at Ao Yin's lips, but he did not explain his reasons further.

He knew clearly that Notting Academy's sign-in fortune had already been exhausted. It was time to find a new treasure ground.

Shrek Academy was the new land of fortune!

He gently moved Xiao Wu, who had obediently been resting against him, then rose from the lush field of flowers and lazily stretched.

"Xiao Wu, no more slacking off. You need to hurry up and cultivate, or you won't be able to keep up with me later."

Over six years, the once-young little girl had long since grown into a graceful, lovely young woman.

Yet her temperament remained soft and clingy. She loved nothing more than resting against him, sometimes lying there for most of the day.

Flowers bloomed in splendor, moonlight was gentle, and the moment was perfect...

Ao Yin looked at the lovely girl beside him, and his heart stirred.

"Since there's no one around and the night is just right, I'll accompany Xiao Wu in a proper round of cultivation. After so long, I wonder if Xiao Wu can take my full set of... Awei's Eighteen Forms in one go?"

"You're awful!"

Xiao Wu's ears instantly reddened. Ao Yin's Awei's Eighteen Forms were incredibly formidable. Even though she had sparred with Ao Yin for six years, she could not endure after seven or eight forms every time.

But Xiao Wu was competitive by nature. No matter what, today she would experience the entire set!

They lingered beneath the moon, sparring in close exchange.

After several intense and satisfying battles, both of them were exhausted. They lay side by side amid the soft sea of flowers, breathing lightly, a thin sheen of sweat covering their skin.

Xiao Wu's cheeks were flushed, and her soft voice carried a trace of lazy charm. "Brother Ao is too fierce... Let Xiao Wu rest for a while..."

Ao Yin froze the moment he heard that.

He had clearly only been cultivating with Xiao Wu so that his martial skills could become even more refined, yet Xiao Wu's soft words somehow carried an indescribable air of ambiguity that made his heart grow faintly hot.

His gaze still shifted uncontrollably to the girl beside him.

It had to be said that Xiao Wu was born with the makings of a beauty. After six years of transformation, she had become ever more dazzling and captivating.
