Preparing to Go to the Soul Hunting Forest (Please Vote! QAQ)

Facing Lin Ye, who had unleashed Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, Lu Bing was no match for him without the support of soul skills. She could only keep dodging Lin Ye's attacks in a sorry state.

But in the end, she failed to evade in time and was struck on the neck by Lin Ye's palm. He immediately followed up with several punches, then sent her flying high with a final kick, crashing into the lackeys behind her.

"Ow!"

As the group of lackeys groaned in pain, Lu Bing clutched her still-aching chest and struggled to get back on her feet.

"Looks like my fist is bigger after all!"

Lin Ye slowly walked over and said calmly.

"You!"

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Lu Bing was still somewhat furious.

But remembering how she had been utterly unable to fight back under Lin Ye's attacks, Lu Bing could only force down the anger in her heart.

"If you day students dare bully us work-study students again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Lin Ye's icy gaze slowly swept over the day students before him as he spoke coldly.

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, aside from Lu Bing, who clenched her fists unwillingly, the other day students all trembled, silent as cicadas in winter.

"What happened?"

On the first floor, Tang San had been watching Lin Ye show off his might and sighing inwardly when a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder from behind. Then a familiar voice rang out.

"Teacher?!"

Turning around and seeing the familiar face behind him, Tang San was immediately overjoyed.

"Teacher, you came to eat too? Thank you for the bedding today."

Tang San spoke respectfully.

"No need to thank me. It was only a set of bedding. By the way, what's going on upstairs?"

Grandmaster shook his head lightly, looked toward the second floor, and asked.

"It's like this, Teacher..."

Tang San briefly explained what had happened to Grandmaster.

"This Lin Ye can actually defeat a Beast Martial Soul Master head-on? Then his second martial soul must be an extremely powerful Beast Martial Soul!"

After hearing Tang San's explanation, Grandmaster could not help but feel shocked.

"I'm not sure about that. I've never seen Lin Ye's second martial soul."

Tang San replied quietly.

"Mm."

Looking at Lin Ye, Grandmaster fell into thought.

A Begonia Flower martial soul, along with an unknown Beast Martial Soul. The Begonia Flower martial soul could develop as a support-system martial soul, and it could also be used to prove my theory.

And with this unknown, powerful Beast Martial Soul, such a Support System Soul Master would be completely incapable of being harmed by an opponent's Agility System Soul Master.

This was an almost invincible Support System Soul Master!

As he thought, a glimmer of excitement flashed through Grandmaster's eyes.

"Little San, I'm going upstairs to eat. Are you coming?"

Having calmed himself again, Grandmaster looked at Tang San and asked.

"I'd better not, Teacher!"

Tang San hurriedly waved his hands in refusal and explained why.

He was from Dormitory Seven, and everyone else from Dormitory Seven was eating on the first floor. If he went upstairs, he would seem too out of place.

After thinking about it, Grandmaster did not force him. He merely told Tang San to wait for him after he finished eating, then clasped his hands behind his back and headed alone toward the second floor.

By then, Lin Ye had also finished intimidating Lu Bing and the other day students and was preparing to go downstairs when he happened to run into Grandmaster coming up.

"Grandmaster!"

Seeing Grandmaster, Lin Ye greeted him politely.

"Thank you for the bedding today!"

"It was only a set of bedding, nothing worth mentioning. A talented child like you shouldn't be delayed by such matters."

Grandmaster said with a faint smile.

They continued chatting for a while. In truth, Grandmaster merely asked Lin Ye how things were at the academy, and Lin Ye answered each question.

Afterward, Lin Ye took his leave and returned to the first floor, while Grandmaster went to a small private room on the second floor.

"Boss, that guy actually knows Grandmaster?"

On the second floor, seeing Lin Ye speak with Grandmaster for quite a while, a day student spoke to Lu Bing with some apprehension.

"What does that have to do with us? Since I lost to him, I won't trouble those day students again. The same goes for all of you."

Lu Bing took a deep breath and said.

"But I can only speak for us. As for Xiao Chenyu and the people under him, that's beyond my control."

"Boss really is smart!"

A cold smile crept onto Lu Bing's lips. It was impossible to tell whether she was mocking Lin Ye or laughing at Xiao Chenyu.

After fighting Lu Bing and actually defeating her, Lin Ye drew the attention of every student in the cafeteria.

When Lin Ye went to the first-floor counter to get food, quite a few students even warmly offered to let him cut in front of them. Lin Ye did not refuse.

After finishing their meal, Lin Ye led everyone out, while Tang San remained at the cafeteria entrance because he had to wait for Grandmaster.

"Does anyone know where in Nuoding City I can buy bedding? And where can I buy maps?"

On the way back to the dormitory, Lin Ye asked.

"I do!"

A student from Dormitory Seven raised his hand.

"To buy bedding, Boss, you can go to Sujin Street. And to buy maps, you can go to Department Store Street. They sell not only maps, but all kinds of miscellaneous goods too!"

"Alright, got it!"

Lin Ye nodded.

On the way back to the dormitory, Lin Ye parted ways with everyone and left the academy alone, heading for Nuoding City.

As he passed the entrance, the gatekeeper from before was already nowhere to be seen. It seemed Grandmaster had reported him to the academy and had him pack up and leave.

After leaving the academy, Lin Ye asked passersby for directions and first found Department Store Street, where he bought a map.

The map was not cheap at all. It actually cost a full ten Copper Soul Coins, enough to cover an ordinary person's meals for an entire day!

After buying the map, Lin Ye went to Sujin Street and bought a set of bedding.

Besides bedding shops, Sujin Street also had stores selling all kinds of clothing and fabric. As Lin Ye passed a children's clothing store, he was nearly dragged inside by the young women in the shop to try on clothes.

The young women said that as long as Lin Ye was willing to wear their clothes and model for them to attract customers, not only would they pay him wages, they would even give him all the clothes he tried on for free!

But Lin Ye still refused.

He did not have the time, and besides, why were there skirts among the clothes they wanted him to wear??? Lin Ye was deeply confused.

After buying the bedding, Lin Ye passed the children's clothing store again. Seeing the regretful looks in the young women's eyes, he could not help shaking his head inwardly.

Someone as outstanding as him really was too eye-catching!

By the time Lin Ye returned from Nuoding City to Nuoding Academy, it was already evening and nearly dark.

When he returned to the dormitory, no one was there. After Lin Ye had made his bed, everyone finally returned, but Tang San was still nowhere to be seen.

Though he found it a little strange, Lin Ye did not ask. He knew Tang San had surely been called away by Grandmaster.

Since everyone else had already eaten, Lin Ye went to the cafeteria by himself. After finishing dinner and returning to the dormitory, Tang San had already come back.

"Lin Ye, come over here for a moment."

Seeing Lin Ye, Tang San called him aside.

"Lin Ye, Teacher is taking us to the Soul Hunting Forest tomorrow to hunt soul beasts. Do you want to come with us?"

Tang San asked.

"Sure!"

Lin Ye did not refuse.
