By obtaining three martial arts from the jade pendant, Lin Ye had also thought of a new way he might be able to get news of his parents.

Lin Ye was very satisfied.

Today's Martial Soul Awakening had brought Lin Ye a great deal! Even the Nine Yang Divine Skill, which had no offensive power on its own, had given Lin Ye physical abilities far beyond those of an adult.

Now he had the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, which was specifically used to train the body, as well as a movement technique for offense and a sword technique specifically meant for attacking.

This would absolutely greatly enhance Lin Ye's offensive ability.

The legends said that Soul Masters were extraordinarily powerful.

But Lin Ye felt that if he could master the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, and Nine Swords of Dugu, his strength would definitely not be inferior to that of a formidable Soul Master.

And if he used his Martial Souls, perhaps even a Soul Master would not be his opponent! However, after breaking through the energy barrier in the jade pendant, aside from these three martial arts, there seemed to be something else inside the jade pendant.

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Lin Ye suddenly recalled the pitch-black space his consciousness had entered after breaking through the energy barrier. He could not help frowning.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ye once again infused the jade pendant with Nine Yang True Qi.

In an instant, his vision suddenly went black, and Lin Ye's consciousness entered a pitch-black space.

This pitch-black space was about the size of a small room. A wooden box floated silently in the middle of it.

"Just as I thought..."

Seeing the wooden box, Lin Ye could not help thinking, Just as I thought.

"Could this wooden box also have been left for me by my parents?"

Thinking that the wooden box had very likely also been left for him by his parents, Lin Ye could not help forming the thought of taking it.

As soon as this thought appeared, Lin Ye's consciousness suddenly left the space.

When Lin Ye's consciousness returned, he was astonished to discover that the wooden box had actually appeared in his hand! "Could this be the legendary Storage Space?"

Thinking of what had just happened, Lin Ye suddenly recalled the stories he had heard from his grandfather, Old Jack, about the treasures possessed by powerful Soul Masters that could store many objects.

Those treasures contained enormous spaces known as Storage Spaces.

"I wonder what's inside this wooden box."

The thought of storage treasures flashed through Lin Ye's mind and was gone. Although Lin Ye had once been full of curiosity about storage treasures, most of his attention was now undoubtedly focused on the wooden box.

Because this wooden box had very likely been left for him by his parents specifically!

"Phew~"

Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Lin Ye took a deep breath. With a nervous and uneasy heart, he opened it.

As the wooden box opened, the object inside was revealed. It was a letter!

"Dear son!"

Taking the letter out of the wooden box, Lin Ye saw these words as soon as he looked at it, and his eyes could not help reddening.

This letter really had been left for him by his parents! "Dear son, when you see this letter, you should already be six years old and have completed your Martial Soul Awakening. You must have worked very hard as well, cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill your father left you to the perfection of the first level. Your mother and I are deeply gratified by your efforts."

"Because we are going to a place that may be very dangerous, we cannot take you with us and can only leave you to be raised by others. Your mother and I deeply regret being unable to witness your childhood, but life is simply full of unpredictable changes."

"Since you have obtained this letter, that proves you should also have obtained the three martial arts I left you: the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, and Nine Swords of Dugu. I carefully selected all three of these cultivation methods for you."

"The Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill will allow you to obtain better Soul Rings in the future, while Phoenix Dance Six Illusions is an excellent movement technique. Whether for traveling or combat, it is extremely suitable. Sometimes, if you cannot win, run. There is no shame in that. After all, nothing is possible unless you stay alive."

"As for the Nine Swords of Dugu, it is an excellent sword technique. You must cultivate it diligently. If you can master these three martial arts, then even if you have only just begun, with your Nine Yang Divine Skill, you will be able to fight a Soul Elder. And if you use your Xuanyuan Sword Martial Soul, ordinary Soul Elders will not be your opponents."

"However, the Xuanyuan Sword Martial Soul consumes an enormous amount of true qi. If you want to use the Xuanyuan Sword, it would be best to use it together with the Nine Spirit Immortal Begonia Martial Soul. That way, you can persist for longer."

"Nine Spirit Immortal Begonia and Xuanyuan Sword—these are the names of the Martial Souls you can use now. The Xuanyuan Sword is the Martial Soul I passed on to you, while the Nine Spirit Immortal Begonia is your mother's. However, I also passed another Martial Soul on to you. It is an extremely powerful Beast Martial Soul. If you want to awaken it completely, you must cultivate the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill as soon as possible."

"You are now six years old, and your Martial Souls have awakened. You should also set out on the path of becoming a Soul Master and go to a Soul Master Academy to study. Having inherited your mother's and my Martial Souls, you must possess Innate Full Soul Power."

"At a Junior Soul Master Academy, you can graduate once you absorb a Soul Ring and become a Soul Master. However, before that, you need to properly study knowledge related to Soul Beasts and Soul Masters. Beneath the wooden box are two books. After reading them, you should have a general understanding of Soul Beasts and the Soul Master world."

"Studying at a Junior Soul Master Academy takes six years, but I feel you do not need to stay at the academy for that long. With the martial arts your father left you, the Junior Soul Master Academy will not be of much use to you."

"Once you have finished studying the subjects you consider important at the Junior Soul Master Academy, you should be able to leave and travel the continent."

"By then, you will have become a Soul Master and can try breaking through another layer of the restriction in the jade pendant. You will obtain more things I left for you, and they will be enough to protect you while you travel."

"Child, a sharp sword is forged through grinding, and plum blossoms release their fragrance after enduring bitter cold!"

"Simply studying at a Junior Soul Master Academy will not make you a strong person. Moreover, cultivating the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill requires a great deal of wealth. If you remain at the Soul Master Academy, it will be difficult for you to make progress. Therefore, I hope that you will travel the continent in the future and encounter more people and things."

"If you want to earn money quickly, you can go to places such as the Soul Hunting Forest and join a Soul Hunting Group there. With the support abilities of your Nine Spirit Immortal Begonia Martial Soul, there will be plenty of Soul Hunting Groups fighting to recruit you."

"However, remember this: unless you are driven into a desperate situation, do not casually reveal your other Martial Souls. If someone sees your other Martial Souls, then unless they are a trusted friend, you absolutely must not let them go!"

"Also, when absorbing Soul Rings, remember to add Soul Rings to the Nine Spirit Immortal Begonia first. If the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill has not reached a certain level, absolutely do not add Soul Rings to your other Martial Souls. With the Nine Swords of Dugu, your Xuanyuan Sword Martial Soul is already powerful enough. You do not need Soul Rings for it for the time being."

"This letter was left for you by your father before I departed. Since it is not a face-to-face conversation, there may be many things you do not understand. That is not strange. If you have any other questions about Soul Beasts or the Soul Master world, you can read the books I left for you more carefully."

"Remember, your mother and father love you!"

"Dad, Mom!"

After reading the letter, Lin Ye lowered it. His eyes were slightly red, and his voice was a little choked.

Just as he knew, his parents had not abandoned him! Holding back his tears, Lin Ye wiped his reddened eyes, carefully folded the letter his parents had left behind, and clutched it in his hand.

Looking at the wooden box, which was a full foot tall, Lin Ye pried open a thin partition. As expected, there were two thick books beneath it.

One had Complete Guide to Soul Beasts written on its cover, while the other was titled Common Knowledge of the Soul Master World.

After placing the folded letter back into the wooden box, Lin Ye stored the box in the jade pendant. Then, after briefly flipping through Complete Guide to Soul Beasts and Common Knowledge of the Soul Master World, Lin Ye stored those two books in the jade pendant as well.

Looking up at the sky, Lin Ye saw that it was almost noon.

He had already wasted so much time here. It was time to go back.

This was a public chapter, not filler. It essentially hinted at the protagonist's future path. He would show off a little at Nuoding Academy, then leave to travel the continent.
