Greater Soul Ascension Pill, Gifted to Ning Tian

After completing today's Evil Purification, Gu Shengge returned to the dormitory, where Han Yue had already been waiting for him.

"How did it go? Did you win the repechage match?"

Gu Shengge asked. Han Yue nodded. That afternoon, they had faced an eliminated team and won the repechage match, but it had also disrupted the team arrangements for the freshman elimination tournament.

There was now one extra team among the original top sixteen, meaning that if they drew lots, one team would receive a bye.

"Did Huo Yuhao have any reaction?" Gu Shengge asked.

He was not surprised that Huo Yuhao had won the repechage match. He was merely curious about his reaction, since that kid was hardly a kind-hearted person.

Although Huo Yuhao had been tormented badly by Tang San in the original story, the two of them were cut from the same cloth. He was just as hypocritical.

In the original story, he first helped Bei Bei cheat to defeat Xu Sanshi. Later, during the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament, he sat in the stands and interfered with a sneak attack against the opposing side.

Such conduct was utterly disgraceful, yet he called it doing it for the Tang Sect.

There was also that whole series of later actions. In the beginning, he shouted about avenging his mother, but later he saved the White Tiger Duke and even taught the White Tiger Duke's son.

Ju Zi bore him a child, yet he still raged and shouted, with one problem after another.

Then there was how the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm helped him capture the Ice Empress. After merely exchanging a few words with the Ice Empress, Huo Yuhao decided that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had betrayed and deceived him, and he began to resent him.

All in all, Huo Yuhao had serious psychological issues, all stemming from the humiliation he had suffered in the Duke's residence during childhood.

That morning, Gu Shengge had already keenly sensed that Huo Yuhao harbored unusual feelings toward him.

"Huo Yuhao didn't show any particular reaction," Han Yue said. "After the match, he went off to set up a stall and sell fish."

Hearing that, Gu Shengge knew that even if Huo Yuhao had an issue with him, he would not show it to his face. Besides, he knew Han Yue shared a dormitory with him.

Suddenly, Gu Shengge asked, "Do you like that girl named Xiao Xiao?"

Caught off guard, Han Yue froze. A trace of embarrassment appeared on his somewhat dark face as he silently thought, The boss actually noticed.

Han Yue nodded, but his expression soon dimmed, because Xiao Xiao liked Wang Dong.

"You have good taste. Keep working hard. As long as you treat that girl sincerely, she will surely return your sincerity."

Gu Shengge smiled and patted Han Yue on the shoulder. He would not say things like telling him not to become a simp. How could boys and girls just beginning to understand love know such things?

Feelings at this age were the purest and should not be stained by any blemish.

A Blackwater Pill and a Soul Ascension Pill appeared in his hand, and he handed them to Han Yue.

"Consider this my investment in your love. Go after the girl you like boldly and passionately. Just don't forget to bring her into Spirit Hall."

Looking at the two pills before him, Han Yue nodded vigorously, deeply moved. He patted his chest and declared that he would definitely win Xiao Xiao over and bring her into Spirit Hall.

Then he hurried out of the dormitory to shower Xiao Xiao with attention.

Gu Shengge smiled. He knew a little about Xiao Xiao. In the original story, she ended up with He Caitou. Since she could take a liking to He Caitou, there was no reason she would not take a liking to Han Yue.

With Twin Martial Souls, he would be a fairly useful ally in the future.

Gu Shengge first took a bath. Afterward, he returned to his bed, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused his mind as he began to mobilize the Creation Power within his body.

Platinum energy containing the Creation Laws appeared in his palm, gradually condensing into a Soul Ascension Pill. However, this Soul Ascension Pill differed from the ones before.

Though it was still emerald green, it bore a faint ring of golden patterns. An enticing fragrance wafted from it, intoxicating the senses, while its life aura was incomparably rich.

The energy contained within it was also five times that of an ordinary Soul Ascension Pill.

This pill was called the Greater Soul Ascension Pill.

Gu Shengge had developed it himself some time ago. He had created it by combining the Creation Power used to condense five Soul Ascension Pills into one. There was no technique to it; it was pure stacking.

After taking a Soul Ascension Pill, one could still continue by taking a Greater Soul Ascension Pill.

Its drawback, however, was that only Soul Elders at rank thirty or above could consume it, because the bodies of Soul Masters and Soul Grandmasters could not withstand the energy released by the Greater Soul Ascension Pill.

Of course, Soul Masters with exceptionally strong bodies were an exception.

The Greater Soul Ascension Pill was only the beginning. Once he had more Creation Power, he would use the Soul Ascension Pill as a foundation to create Earth Soul Pills, Heaven Soul Pills, Saint Soul Pills, and other such pills.

Gu Shengge had condensed this Greater Soul Ascension Pill because he wanted Ning Tian to use it. After all, she had spoken up for him today.

Creation Power surged and formed a cold jade box. Gu Shengge placed the Greater Soul Ascension Pill inside, then stood and left the dormitory.

The freshman dormitories were separated by gender. The academy rules stated that neither boys nor girls were allowed to enter the other side's dormitories without permission.

Gu Shengge found the dorm supervisor and told him that he was looking for Ning Tian, giving him her dormitory number.

The dorm supervisor told him to wait, then used a Soul Tool connected to the dormitory Soul Tool owl to call Ning Tian.

A few minutes later, Ning Tian came downstairs. She had changed out of her academy uniform and into a goose-yellow dress that wrapped around her well-developed figure.

Her straight, jade-like legs appeared and disappeared beneath the hem of her skirt, smooth and snow-white as she approached with light steps.

There were still a few droplets of water in Ning Tian's neat golden short hair, so she had likely just finished bathing. Her pretty face held a trace of confusion.

As soon as the girl approached, Gu Shengge caught the faint fragrance drifting from her body. It seemed to be the scent of tulips.

"Class monitor, why did you come looking for me?"

Ning Tian looked at Gu Shengge in confusion. He smiled slightly, took out the cold jade box, and handed it to her as he said gently,

"Thank you for speaking up for me today. This Greater Soul Ascension Pill is for you. It contains energy equivalent to five Soul Ascension Pills and is suitable for Soul Elders."

Surprise appeared on Ning Tian's pretty face. She had never heard of a Greater Soul Ascension Pill before, much less one with medicinal effects five times stronger than a Soul Ascension Pill.

No wonder it was called a Greater Soul Ascension Pill.

She did not refuse. Reaching out to accept the cold jade box, she smiled and thanked Gu Shengge.

"Thank you, Class Monitor. But how did you obtain this Greater Soul Ascension Pill?"

"My teacher refined it."

Gu Shengge pushed the matter of its origin onto his teacher. Ning Tian did not ask any further questions.

"I'll be heading back first," Gu Shengge said. "You should rest early too. There's still a match tomorrow."

"Mm, goodbye, Class Monitor."

Ning Tian nodded slightly and watched Gu Shengge leave, but there was a faint sense of disappointment in her heart.

Before coming downstairs, she had hoped that Gu Shengge had come to ask her to go shopping with him. She had not expected that he had only come to deliver a pill.

Ning Tian returned to the dormitory as well. When Wu Feng saw her come back, she was somewhat puzzled and asked her young mistress,

"Young Mistress, didn't the class monitor invite you to go shopping?"

Ning Tian shook her head and told Wu Feng about Gu Shengge coming to give her the pill, her tone carrying a slight complaint.

After hearing it, Wu Feng was equally stunned. She could not understand what the class monitor was thinking. Could it be that he did not fancy her young mistress?

PS: Should Ning Tian be taken in or not?
