Kicked Out of the Group!

An hour later, Link's Blue Silver Grass finished absorbing its second soul ring.

The soul ring was forty-five thousand years old!

Awesome!

Link grinned.

His first soul ring was twenty thousand years old, and his second was forty-five thousand. At this rate, he might get a hundred thousand year soul ring as his fifth!

Talent Sharing!

Cultivation Sharing!

If he controlled the pace at which he absorbed soul rings and let his body develop further, he might get a hundred thousand year soul ring even sooner.

After all, cultivation sharing was active all the time.

Every increase in the group members' cultivation would ultimately synchronize with Link.

Unfortunately, a soul master's strength was not synonymous with cultivation.

Cultivation was only soul power level. Actual combat power also depended on soul bones and soul skills.

Since soul bones and soul skills could not be shared, their strength naturally could not be considered equal.

But even so, it was enough for Link to feel smug about.

"Now that I'm a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, and there probably aren't any potential group members left in Heaven Dou City, it's time to go look for Ah Yin!"

Link left another letter and quietly departed from Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Although there was still roughly a year before Tang San enrolled in Shrek Academy in the story, Link did not dare guarantee that events would unfold as they had in the original.

So, while Liu Erlong, with her late-stage love cancer, headed to Nuoding City, he could take the opportunity to resolve the quality issue with his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

Tang San had only awakened his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, which would be even later.

But again, some things were better done sooner rather than later. Only what was safely in his pocket was truly his.

When dawn arrived, A Luo woke from her sleep. Just as she was about to wake Link, she spotted the letter on the table.

After reading what Link had written, A Luo hurried out of Heaven Dou Royal Academy with the letter to find Qian Renxue.

"Let him go!"

Qian Renxue read the letter and gave it little further thought.

She did feel differently about Link, but she had so much to do at present that she could not spare much time to pay attention to him.

"Your Highness, should I stay at the academy, or come back first?"

"Hmm, stay at the academy. Wait two months. If he still hasn't returned, come back then!"

"Yes!"

A Luo bowed and took her leave.

At the same time, on the road from Heaven Dou City to Fasinuo Province, Link spotted a carriage bearing the Moonlight Pavilion's emblem.

Without even investigating, Link knew that the person inside was probably Tang Yuehua.

This lovesick young lady, who seemed to have a thing for her own brother, looked close to developing love cancer too.

Her martial soul had clearly evolved, giving her the ability to cultivate, yet instead of seizing the time to cultivate properly, she went looking for her utterly irresponsible second brother first!

Tsk, tsk. This really had to be true love!

First Liu Erlong!

Then Tang Yuehua!

Both of them had a thing for their own relatives!

Link had no intention of getting involved with Tang Yuehua. After all, she was just a tool.

Still, having a tool put in so little effort annoyed him somewhat.

Inside the chat group.

Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "Attention, all group members. This group will conduct regular cultivation assessments. Those who fail to cultivate diligently will be removed during regular purges!"

Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "Everyone, do your best!"

So you're lovesick, huh?

You won't do your job as tools, huh?

How about a warning that you'll be kicked out?

Although Link did not currently have permission to remove people from the group, the others did not know that.

Besides, perhaps he would gain that permission someday!

Heaven Dou Orphan: "Group Leader, what's the standard for failing to cultivate diligently?"

Little Bunny Who Must Save Mom: "I've been working hard all along. I'm already level thirty!"

Yanzi Who Restores the Family's Glory: "I'm working hard too!"

Only Hoping for an Old Friend's Return: "Group Leader, I have something to take care of right now. Could I take some time off before I start cultivating?"

Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "Only Hoping for an Old Friend's Return, this opportunity chose you. If you want to abandon an opportunity already in your hands, that's your choice. As group leader, I'm not responsible for supervising you. I'm only responsible for enforcing the rules!"

Liu Erlong: "Then kick me out! Do you think you can scare me?"

That fiery temper really was very Liu Erlong.

As Link read Liu Erlong's message, a cold glint flashed through his eyes. He truly looked down on this woman with terminal love cancer!

After all, in the original, she and Yu Xiaogang had claimed their love was purely spiritual, yet their descendants appeared in the later story.

So, outside the story's events, the two had actually broken the bounds of morality and kinship.

"System, can I really not kick people out of the group?"

"You're making things very difficult for me as the group leader!"

"Don't tell me that apart from inviting people into the group, I have no other privileges as its leader?"

"I'm telling you, I'm really angry right now!"

[Ding!]

[Discord detected within the group. Management permissions unlocked for the group leader: mute members, appoint administrators, and remove members from the chat group!]

Finally, he had the group leader's permissions!

Link's eyes instantly lit up.

Although the boost to his strength Liu Erlong provided was quite good, Link truly looked down on what she said and how she behaved, especially her relentless fawning over Yu Xiaogang.

During those four years at Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy, Yu Xiaogang had shown Link no shortage of contempt. After all, Blue Silver Grass with level-two innate soul power and Tang San with innate full soul power made a perfect study in contrasts.

Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "Liu Erlong, are you sure?"

At that moment, Liu Erlong's mind was filled with thoughts of reuniting with Yu Xiaogang. She paid no attention to anything else, and when she saw Link's message, she answered without the slightest restraint.

"I'm sure!"

Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "As you wish!"

Following Link's message, a line of red text appeared in the chat group interface: Group member Liu Erlong has been removed from the chat group by the group leader.

In an instant, everyone in the group saw that one person was missing from the member list.

Liu Erlong really had been removed from the chat group.

Leaf That Changes the Fate of the Family: "Group Leader, I'm cultivating hard..."

Ye Lingling had certainly gotten a fright.

This chat group was miraculous. It had changed the curse on her Nine Heart Begonia martial soul and further improved her martial soul's quality. She would never leave something so miraculous.

Sitting in her carriage, Tang Yuehua was frightened too.

She had hoped for so many years, longing to be able to cultivate. Now that she finally could, she did not want to lose such a precious opportunity.

Only Hoping for an Old Friend's Return: "Group Leader, I'll cultivate hard!"

Heaven Dou Orphan: "Group Leader, I'm working hard every day!"

Qian Renxue had gotten a fright as well.

The only one who felt little of anything was Liu Erlong, but she had also completely forgotten what she had been going to do.

She stood by the roadside with a blank expression.

Who was she?

Where was she?

What was she going to do?

A true triple dose of bewilderment!

Then Liu Erlong remembered who she was, but she could not remember at all what she had been going to do. Every memory of the chat group had been wiped clean.
