Too Light

Ye Yu's words left Qiao Bichi furious. In a coquettish voice, she said, "How could you say that about me?"

Ye Yu instead felt even more disgusted. She was exactly like Grandma Qiao.

Qiao Bichi began acting coquettishly toward Li Beta and said angrily, "He told me to get lost. You're my boyfriend now, so you have to stand up for me."

Li Beta felt somewhat uneasy. He didn't want to lose face in front of his woman, but he also didn't want to provoke Ye Yu.

Li Beta said amiably, "Boss Yu, don't you think that's going a little too far?"

Ye Yu said indifferently, "What she looks like has nothing to do with me. If she blocks my way, she has to get lost."

Li Beta was somewhat angry. "My family has some reputation in Nuoding City, too. Boss Yu, if you respect me, I'll respect you. But speaking to my woman like that makes me lose face."

Ye Yu found it laughable. "You don't even know what she looks like, yet you're calling her your woman? If she were ugly, would you still take her as your woman?"

Li Beta said firmly, "My Bichi can't possibly be ugly. Her voice is so pleasant, so she must be a cute girl."

Ye Yu couldn't be bothered to say anything more. Children like these were easily deceived and far too naive.

Li Beta looked at Qiao Bichi and pleaded, "Bichi, I'm your boyfriend now. Take off your veil and let me see you. At the same time, you can prove to them that you're a great beauty."

Qiao Bichi shook her head. "No. Didn't I already say it? If you want me to remove my veil, you have to give me one hundred Gold Soul Coins. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until the day we get married."

Li Beta was helpless. "All right, then I'll wait another two days. I've already saved up ninety-five Gold Soul Coins. I'm only a little short."

Ye Yu left, moving as swiftly as an arrow. Two hours later, he arrived at Holy Soul Village.

"Grandpa Jack."

Ye Yu called out after arriving outside the house.

After entering the house, Old Jack asked in surprise, "Xiao Yu, why have you come back?"

Ye Yu placed a packet of Gold Soul Coins on the table and said, "Grandpa, these are one hundred Gold Soul Coins. Take them and spend them. Buy good clothes, and eat and drink well."

Looking at the small packet of gleaming Gold Soul Coins, Old Jack widened his eyes in astonishment.

"Xiao Yu, where did you get all these Gold Soul Coins?" It was Old Jack's first time seeing so many Gold Soul Coins.

"Grandpa, I've already graduated from Junior Academy. I graduated in less than a day, so I received a scholarship of one thousand one hundred Gold Soul Coins. Since the academy couldn't produce that much money, they gave me six hundred Gold Soul Coins first. Keep these one hundred Gold Soul Coins. I still have plenty, enough to spend."

Listening to Ye Yu, Old Jack found it unbelievable. He knew that graduating from Junior Academy required reaching the twenty-first level.

"Xiao Yu, you... you're already a Soul Grandmaster?"

"Yes." Ye Yu nodded.

Old Jack was instantly shocked. Although Ye Yu possessed Innate Full Soul Power, how could he have reached the twenty-first level so quickly? His Martial Soul was clearly a Waste Martial Soul. Even with Innate Full Soul Power, it should have taken two or three years to go from level ten to level twenty-one, right?

Seeing that Old Jack still couldn't believe it, Ye Yu summoned two Soul Rings around his body. Old Jack's eyes widened even further, and he wondered if he was seeing things.

Purple, purple!

Both Soul Rings were Thousand Year Soul Rings! Moreover, the second Soul Ring radiated an incredibly intense purple light.

"Xiao Yu, this... this is a Thousand Year Soul Ring?!" Old Jack was even more shocked.

Old Jack was his family. There was no need to hide anything from him.

"Grandpa, I didn't possess only level-ten Innate Full Soul Power. It was even higher, which is why I became a Soul Grandmaster so quickly. You know my physique as well, so I can withstand a Thousand Year Soul Ring."

Old Jack was deeply shaken. He recalled what the Deputy Village Chief had told him before: when Xiao Yu tested his Soul Power, the light he released was even more dazzling than Xiao San's.

Old Jack was shocked yet delighted. There was actually Soul Power beyond level-ten Innate Full Soul Power. At the same time, he felt much more relieved.

"Xiao Yu, your Talent is also at the monster level. That puts my mind somewhat at ease."

Old Jack had originally been worried that Ye Yu would be in danger if he encountered his enemies in the future, but now, Ye Yu's Talent had reassured him considerably. Moreover, Old Jack believed that Ye Yu's Martial Soul wasn't a Waste Martial Soul. It was exactly the same as his mother's Martial Soul, differing only in color.

Old Jack accepted the Gold Soul Coins. They represented Ye Yu's goodwill, and he couldn't refuse them.

After accompanying Old Jack for a while, Ye Yu returned to the academy.

After arriving at the dormitory, Ye Yu found that the dean had prepared a single room for him. Anyone who wanted to become Ye Yu's roommate could only enter the dormitory with Ye Yu's permission.

Ye Yu's dormitory was very spacious. He felt that he could reserve the available space for Xiao Wu and Tang San.

The afternoons and evenings were free for him to arrange, so Ye Yu went to train in the Gravity Chamber.

After arriving at the training building, Ye Yu went directly to the highest, fifth floor, where there was a room the size of two classrooms.

Ye Yu could enter directly, and the guard opened the door for him.

Ye Yu first entered the first room. There were ten students inside, all thirteen years old, with Soul Power ranging from level twenty-five to twenty-eight.

The level-twenty-five students could barely move, trudging forward step by step with hunched backs and trembling knees as sweat dripped constantly from their bodies. This space not only contained gravity; the air was also extremely thin, and the temperature was torturous as well. During the day, it reached fifty degrees Celsius, while at night, it fell to negative fifty degrees Celsius.

The strongest one was a robust, muscular man who was almost fourteen and at level twenty-eight. He moved with all his strength and could barely walk upright in front of everyone.

He took one step after another, his face flushed. Looking at the gap between himself and the other students, he smiled proudly. "This Tenfold Gravity Space is my domain. Throughout all of Nuoding, no one can surpass me."

At that moment, the students noticed Ye Yu entering and standing in the area without gravity.

"It's Boss Yu."

"He actually came here? Isn't he only at level twenty-one?"

"Boss Yu, you need to be at least level twenty-five to barely endure the Tenfold Gravity Space. You should leave."

One student kindly warned him.

Ye Yu said, "I'll try it first and see if it suits me."

Seeing Ye Yu prepare to step into the Gravity Domain, the students thought he would collapse onto the ground the moment he entered.

The muscular man laughed inwardly. Everyone calls you Boss, not because they acknowledge your strength, but because you have an unusual relationship with the dean. Being called Boss has made you think you're the strongest person in the Intermediate Academy?

As Ye Yu's right foot stepped into the Gravity Domain and landed, the muscular man thought Ye Yu was about to collapse onto the ground.

However, after Ye Yu stepped inside, his body remained perfectly straight, leaving everyone stunned.

The next second, Ye Yu hopped in place several times, looking incredibly light and agile.

The surroundings fell utterly silent. Everyone widened their eyes and stared at Ye Yu in shock without saying a word.

Ye Yu shook his head. "As expected, it doesn't suit me. It's too light."

Ye Yu left, tossing out one final sentence. "Muscle Man, this is still your domain. I'm going to the Twenty-fold Gravity Space."

Ye Yu walked out. The sound of the door closing brought the ten stupefied students back to their senses. They looked at one another, so shocked that they couldn't speak for a moment.

At that moment, there wasn't a trace of arrogance left on the muscular man's face.
