" Xiao Yi, I'm very sorry for selling the Soul Tool to the Spirit Hall without your consent."
"It's Uncle Ning's letter; it seems he wants to give me an explanation."
Jun Yi looked at the letter in his hand and began to read it carefully.
"I've reached some private deals with the Spirit Hall, including matters related to Soul Tool. However, the interests involved are quite complex, and I cannot disclose everything to you."
"However, this matter was ultimately my fault, so I would like to make amends to you. For every Level 1 Soul Tool that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect provides to the Spirit Hall, I will give you 1000 Gold Soul Coin as compensation. If you feel the price is inappropriate, we can discuss it further. This matter was ultimately Uncle Ning's fault, and I hope to receive your forgiveness. Signed: Ning Fengzhi."
After reading the letter, Jun Yi put it into his storage ring. From Ning Fengzhi's letter, Jun Yi extracted two key pieces of information.
First, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did indeed reach a deal with the Spirit Hall, and now they are in a relationship similar to that of a buyer and seller.
Second, Ning Fengzhi was indeed trying to win him over.
The production cost of a Level 1 Soul Tool is only about one Gold Soul Coin. Although Jun Yi didn't know how much the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sold it to the Spirit Hall for, Jun Yi could get the cost money without doing anything, which was quite comfortable.
"I wonder if the sale of Soul Tool can bring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect closer to the Spirit Hall, so that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect won't be destroyed by the Spirit Hall in the end," Jun Yi murmured to himself.
Jun Yi then began meditating and cultivating. His current Soul Power reserves had reached a bottleneck, and he could break through to level 33 at any time.
Jun Yi entered a meditative state and began to absorb the Soul Power around him. Subsequently, the Soul Power that had been accumulating in his body began to boil.
As the Soul Power flowed through his meridians, Jun Yi felt an indescribable sense of comfort spread throughout his body, filling him with power.
"Boom~~~~~"
The moment Jun Yi opened his eyes, an aura erupted from his body, sweeping across the surroundings.
"I'm level 33 now. To be honest, my cultivation speed isn't slow at all. If I only focus on cultivating Soul Power, I estimate I'll reach level 35 next month."
Jun Yi stabilized his cultivation and entered his Sea of Consciousness. Soul Master in Douluo Continent 1 did not pay much attention to improving their Divine Power, so even the Sea of Consciousness of Titled Douluo was just a small lake.
Jun Yi, whose Soul Power Level was only 33, had already formed a lake in his Sea of Consciousness, which was also emitting a golden halo. More importantly, his soul had been condensed and formed, and it even appeared that he had merged with his Sea of Consciousness.
"Unlike Armament Haki, the enhancement of Divine Power will strengthen the intensity of Observation Haki, and using Observation Haki will also enhance Divine Power. The two complement each other. Now my Sea of Consciousness is already taking shape. It seems that the day when I can inscribe a level 5 Soul Tool array is not far away." Jun Yi thought to himself.
"But how can I improve my Armament Haki? It seems I'll have to rely on Immortal Herb. I'll eat a few more and leave none for Buddha."
Jun Yi made up his mind that he would seize Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that he could name, leaving Tang San with nothing, not even a single Immortal Herb.
The two afternoon matches will determine the top 64 who will participate in tomorrow's free-for-all. After the two afternoon matches are completed, there will be more than 64 students remaining, so the referees added some additional rules before the start of the competition.
Specifically, the competition is based on the time it takes for the winner to defeat their opponent, with the 64 students who finish in the shortest time advancing.
On the large screen that was originally used to display the opponents in the Soul Fighting, the time it took to defeat each student was also noted next to their name.
Jun Yi's name was firmly displayed at the top of the leaderboard, with the defeat time clearly stated: "15 seconds".
"Uh, I've become a one-second wonder?"
Jun Yi looked at the time displayed on the big screen. Most of the others had their time lasting several tens of minutes, but Jun Yi was a one-second wonder. This made him think of some unpleasant things.
"Why is Jun Yi's video only 15 seconds long? Is there a problem with the timing?"
The other students naturally couldn't believe that Jun Yi had defeated his opponent in just 15 seconds. After all, most of them had a record of more than 20 minutes. Since everyone's Soul Power Level was similar, being able to defeat an opponent in about 10 minutes was already considered very fast.
"Something's definitely wrong. Even if you brought in Soul Ancestor, they might not be able to resolve it in 15 seconds!"
"Who exactly is Jun Yi? How did he manage to do that?" "Alright, everyone, quiet down!"
Just then, the male teacher wearing glasses walked up to the group. "The timing is accurate; Jun Yi did indeed defeat his opponent in five seconds," the teacher explained to the students, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses. At that moment, almost all the students couldn't believe their ears.
"15 seconds? How is that possible!" The other students still couldn't believe that Jun Yi had defeated his opponent in just 15 seconds.
"Alright, it's about to begin. If you have any questions, you can watch his Soul Fighting later." With that, the teacher turned and left.
Jun Yi, the person involved, remained calm and walked towards the arena where he was competing. A group of students who had been watching the big screen also walked towards the arena where Jun Yi was.
Upon arriving at the arena, the students around Jun Yi immediately gathered around, chattering excitedly. Jun Yi's opponent, however, stood somewhat fearfully on the arena, wondering who this person was who could defeat two Soul Master of similar skill level in just 15 seconds.
"Excuse me, I need to go up on stage," Jun Yi said to the students who were blocking his way at the edge of the arena.
"Huh? A transfer student?" Several students turned around and looked at Jun Yi, who was wearing a light blue school uniform, and asked in a puzzled tone.
"Yes, so could you give way?" Jun Yi said calmly.
Several students hesitantly made way for Jun Yi, their gazes towards Jun Yi somewhat strange. When Jun Yi stepped onto the stage, the students present were all surprised, momentarily unable to identify which student was Jun Yi.
"Is Jun Yi a transfer student?"
"I remember that student who was studying on loan. He seemed to have gotten into a conflict with a classmate, and then he broke the troublemaker's arm with one move. He was extremely strong. So it seems that he is Jun Yi without a doubt."
One of the students watching recognized Jun Yi and recounted how he had dealt with the bullies before.
"Both players are present, the match officially begins." After the teacher finished announcing, Jun Yi immediately activated the ROOM space, slightly raised his finger, swapped the opponent's position with the stone outside the arena, closed the ROOM, and the opponent was eliminated.
Before the spectators and opponents could even react, the match was over, and the teacher immediately announced, "The winner of this Soul Fighting is Jun Yi."
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Jun Yi stepped off the stage...
