Flame Wolf Martial Soul

In half a year, Tie Li's Soul Power Level had already reached level twenty-four.

Raising two levels in just half a year, Tie Li was a genuine genius in the eyes of the other six team members.

After breakfast and a short rest that morning, Tie Li went to the training grounds as usual. He added eighty jin of weight to himself and was about to begin the day's training.

"Tie Li, wait. Supervisor Fu wants to see us," Dolangbu called out, stopping Tie Li just as he was about to start training.

Over the past half year, Tie Li had become fairly familiar with the six team members, but he still could not integrate into the team.

In the eyes of the other six, this was the gap between a genius and ordinary Soul Masters.

But only Tie Li knew that his talent was actually quite ordinary. He could not be considered a genius. If he had not obtained the Thousand-Year Thunder Python Inner Core and Soul Bone, he might not have been much better than them.

As for why he could not fit into the group, Tie Li could only attribute it to a matter of personality.

During his half year at the Great Soul Arena, he had made one good friend.

"All right, I'm coming."

Tie Li removed his weights and headed over with Dolangbu.

Supervisor Fu was in the arena's conference room. Aside from him, the other five members of the team were there, along with several Soul Masters cultivated by the Great Soul Arena.

"You two, take your seats."

Seeing them, Supervisor Fu gestured for them to return to their seats.

"I won't waste words. Kaiqi will lead the team next. You will be heading to Benoa City for soul battles."

Supervisor Fu had mentioned this matter a month ago.

Benoa City was going to establish a Great Soul Arena, but the various Soul Master factions in the city would instinctively reject outside forces.

To reduce the resistance of Benoa City's Soul Master factions toward the Great Soul Arena, the Great Soul Arena planned to hold a soul battle tournament in Benoa City.

The main participants would be Two-Ring Soul Grandmasters and Three-Ring Soul Elders!

It was said that the prizes for the winners of this soul battle tournament would be extremely generous.

To prevent there from being too many Three-Ring Soul Elders, the Great Soul Arena had imposed restrictions.

Participants could not be older than twenty-five.

There were not nearly as many Soul Elders under twenty-five.

The Soul Masters in the conference room were all representing the Dragon Prosperity Great Soul Arena in this competition.

The rules would be decided by drawing lots. They might draw one-on-one individual soul battles, three-on-three soul battles, or even seven-person team soul battles.

It mainly depended on the rules drawn that day.

Besides the Rock Team, half of the other Soul Masters in the conference room were Three-Ring Soul Elders.

After Supervisor Fu finished speaking, he left the conference room. His assistant, Kaiqi, then entered and took Supervisor Fu's seat.

"Everyone, the journey from Dragon Prosperity City to Benoa City is not short. I suggest we set out tomorrow morning. What do you think?"

They had been notified about this matter in advance, so naturally no one objected. After Kaiqi gave a few reminders, the meeting ended.

"Looking at you, you were training again, weren't you?" Zhang Yang appeared behind Tie Li, hooking his right arm around Tie Li's neck.

That scene alone showed how familiar the two were with each other.

Compared with the six members of the team, Tie Li indeed found Zhang Yang easier to get along with.

Zhang Yang was one of the Soul Elders present. At only sixteen, he was already a Three-Ring Soul Elder, with the optimal soul ring configuration of two yellow and one purple.

His Martial Soul was the rare flying-type Martial Soul, the Dark Phantom Demon Eagle.

His parents were staff members of the Great Soul Arena. When he awakened his Martial Soul, the Great Soul Arena had noticed him because of his outstanding talent.

The Great Soul Arena had helped him obtain all of his soul rings. It could be said that everything he had was given to him by the Great Soul Arena.

"What else would I be doing?"

"I'm telling you, you need to relax sometimes. You've saved up so many Gold Soul Coins, and you never spend money. Why not take some out and go have some fun?" By the end, Zhang Yang's tone had turned lewd.

"I have a mental aversion to that sort of thing."

Tie Li naturally knew what Zhang Yang meant by having fun, but he had no interest in those kinds of places.

His mental aversion was real, and so was his reluctance to waste Gold Soul Coins.

Some time ago, he had sent a message home and roughly told his parents about his situation.

His parents quickly wrote back, telling Tie Li to make his own decisions. They also said in the letter that Tie Wu had awakened his Martial Soul, with innate level five Soul Power.

He had not inherited either of his parents' Martial Souls. Instead, he had a mutated Beast Martial Soul, the Flame Wolf.

Spirit Hall in Manno City had taken a liking to Tie Wu's talent, recruited him into Spirit Hall, and sent him to an institution specially dedicated to training Soul Masters.

Tie Li could feel his parents' excitement through the letter. They had given birth to three sons, two of whom had become Soul Masters, while their youngest had even joined Spirit Hall. How could a commoner couple like them not be happy?

Tie Wu joining Spirit Hall was undoubtedly a good thing for the family as it stood.

Tie Li had even sent back one hundred Gold Soul Coins, asking them to pass the money on to Tie Wu. After all, there were many expenses after becoming a Soul Master.

This time, they did not refuse. After accepting the hundred Gold Soul Coins, they sent them on to Tie Wu.

"You haven't tried it, so you don't understand. Don't be fooled by how honest you look now. Once you get a taste, you'll definitely become addicted."

Tie Li ignored Zhang Yang's words. Such pastimes were easy to become obsessed with, which was why he did not touch them. He was afraid of falling in too deep and being unable to pull himself out.

Seeing that Tie Li remained unmoved, Zhang Yang found it boring and turned to leave. Tie Li had no idea whether he actually went anywhere.

Tie Li returned to the training grounds and continued the day's training. That night, he went back to the dormitory, packed simply, and placed all his luggage into his Storage Ring.

He would have to get up early the next morning and bring around ten jin of Thunder Python meat from the cafeteria.

Over the past half year, Tie Li had been using Thunder Python meat as his staple food, and its subtle effects were already beginning to show.

The next day, Kaiqi arranged the carriages. Once everyone boarded, they set off for Benoa City.

The carriage was spacious enough to hold six people.

Dolangbu and the other five shared one carriage, while Tie Li rode with Zhang Yang in another.

"Hey, I heard what the prize for winning this soul battle tournament is."

Zhang Yang sat beside Tie Li and spoke in a whisper.

"What is it?"

Tie Li was equally curious about that.

"A Soul Beast egg."

"What?"

The value of a Soul Beast egg depended on its species. If it hatched into an ordinary Soul Beast, its value could only be described as better than nothing.

After spending a vast amount of resources to raise it to a hundred years, only to find that its combat strength was inferior to that of a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, what would you think?

But if it were a top-tier super Soul Beast like a dragon, that would be another matter entirely. A hundred-year dragon could easily hunt a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast. To a Soul Master faction, its value would be beyond description.

"What's with that look? I haven't finished yet!"
