Ling Yi raised his hand, and a brick-red flowerpot appeared in his palm.
Looking at the strange plant in the flowerpot, which was less than half a foot long, Li Liansheng was immediately disappointed.
I thought this kid was all arrogant and powerful, like some kind of Soul Beast, but it turns out he's just a plant?
"Alright, put them all away. You all wait here. In a month, come with me to Fuyun City," Li Liansheng said, waving his hand.
"Old man, do you look down on my Soul Beast?" Ling Yi said disdainfully.
Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, both the Prefectural Administration Bureau and Liu San were immediately startled.
Is this kid crazy? He actually called that master "old man"? Isn't he just asking for death?
Liu Shilin gave Ling Yi a strange look. How could this guy be so brave?
She quietly pulled Liu Wufeng back a little, to prevent him from being accidentally injured and getting splattered with blood.
" Ling Yi, how dare you speak to a master like that?" Liu San scolded.
"My Soul Beast is unique in the heavens and on earth, an invincible Peashooter with explosive damage output! Old man, how dare you look down on my Soul Beast? Apologize!"
Li Liansheng's face immediately darkened. This kid, is he a hothead?
He'd seen plenty of hotheads like that.
They act like they're invincible just because they've become Soul Beast Master, looking down on everyone.
For people like this, there are only three words: They need to be taught a lesson!
"Heh, an invincible Peashooter? Let this old man see just how invincible he is. Wuque, try this kid out, hold back a bit, or you'll get killed!"
"Yes, Grandpa!" The handsome man in white nodded slightly to Li Liansheng, then walked up to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi pursed her lips. Such a handsome face, if you hit him, he'd cry for a long time, right?
Wuque? Li Wuque? You should be called Hua Wuque!
"You should learn to respect the strong!" Li Wuque said coldly to Ling Yi.
"So, shouldn't this old man respect me?" Ling Yi said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Li Wuque's lips twitched. This guy, how can he be so narcissistic? Is he some kind of powerful being?
He was not a man of many words, so he simply stopped talking and placed his right hand on his brow. After a moment of preparation, a figure in white appeared beside him.
This is a woman, a woman with Piu-piu long hair and white Piu-piu, carrying a sword.
Is this definitely Heroic Spirit Martial Soul?
Why do I feel like this Heroic Spirit Martial Soul and Li Wuque have a certain CP vibe when they stand together?
"This is my Heroic Spirit Martial Soul, the Sword God Luoying. It's not too late for you to admit defeat!" Li Wuque reminded him.
"Another Heroic Spirit Martial Soul?" Liu Shilin exclaimed in surprise.
" Sword God Luoying? Ling Yi, quickly admit defeat and apologize!" Liu San exclaimed.
It seems this Sword God Luoying is quite famous; even Liu San knows about him?
"Admitting defeat is out of the question. We haven't even fought yet, so the outcome is still uncertain!"
Ling Yi Ling Yi her chin at Li Wuque: "Don't cry later!"
Even though Li Wuque was rather introverted and steady, he was angry at this moment.
In his view, Ling Yi's disrespect was not directed at him, but rather at his own Heroic Spirit Martial Soul.
With a thought, the woman in Piu-piu white robes casually raised her hand and swung her sword.
The movement was extremely simple, but in the next moment, a white, Half Moon Sword Qi suddenly appeared.
They rushed straight towards Ling Yi.
" Ling Yi, get out of the way!" Liu San exclaimed.
"Brother Ling Yi!"
" Wuque!" Li Liansheng was also somewhat surprised. Why would someone use such a heavy hand?
The attack had already been launched; it was fast and the distance was short. It was too late to intervene and save them.
But the next moment...
Then, the Peashooter in the flowerpot on Ling Yi's palm trembled.
A pea shot out Rapid Speed, colliding with the white sword Sword Qi.
"Laugh!"
There were no Shaking Heaven and Earth explosions or exaggerated special effects.
That Sword Qi was simply destroyed by a single pea.
"This is impossible!" Li Wuque exclaimed in disbelief.
Li Liansheng was also shocked. He knew better than anyone just how strong his grandson's Heroic Spirit Martial Soul was.
Although Sword God Luoying doesn't even have a single Soul Ring yet, she only has Zero Tier Martial Soul.
But this can't be solved with just one pea!
This was Sword Qi; even he wouldn't dare to confront it head-on.
"Hey, are you serious about this fight? If it were a life-or-death struggle, do you believe you'd be dead by now?" Ling Yi said, displeased.
Li Wuque also came to his senses and looked at Ling Yi seriously.
Especially the strange-looking plant in Ling Yi's hand.
His own Sword God Luoying, his idol, couldn't even defeat a plant? He refused to accept it!
With a thought, Spiritual Sense can communicate with the Heroic Spirit Martial Soul.
The next moment, the white- Piu-piu spirit raised its hand and swung its sword again, this time unleashing two consecutive Sword Qi.
After the two Sword Qi were unleashed, the white- Piu-piu spirit transformed into a stream of light and entered Li Wuque's Sea of Consciousness.
Clearly, this is Li Wuque's Limit.
"Pfft!"
The Peashooter also fired two peas, easily neutralizing the two Sword Qi.
Ling Yi lifted the flowerpot and aimed the Peashooter at Li Wuque.
You lost!
"You!"
"Do you think my super invincible Peashooter can't attack anymore?"
Although Li Wuque did not answer, his expression was indeed that of someone else.
With a thought from Ling Yi, the Peashooter adjusted its muzzle and fired a barrage of peas at Li Wuque's feet, just like a machine gun.
"Thump thump thump, boom boom boom!"
In an instant, a series of large craters were blasted into the ground. Li Wuque's face turned deathly pale, and he involuntarily took more than a dozen steps back.
"I said, you lost!" Ling Yi said with a faint smile.
"Yes, I lost!" Li Liansheng said, somewhat doubting his own existence.
He simply couldn't understand why that Xiaoxiao potted plant could have such power.
It's not just powerful, it can fire continuously—doesn't this person expend Divine Power?
"Your Soul Beast must be a mutated Soul Beast, right?" Li Liansheng glanced at his grandson, but showed no anger or worry.
My grandson is good in every way, except he's a little too arrogant.
Others might not be able to tell, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, Li Wuque is still that sensible, polite, and steady child.
But how could Li Liansheng not know that Li Wuque had become a bit arrogant ever since he awakened his Heroic Spirit Martial Soul?
For Li Wuque, being defeated by his peers once was not necessarily a bad thing.
"Mutant Soul Beast? It's a mutated Soul Beast?" Ling Yi asked, tilting his head.
Well, what you're saying is a bit pointless, but Li Liansheng couldn't refute it.
A mutated Soul Beast is simply a mutated Soul Beast!
"Although there are countless and varied types of Soul Beast, some are Soul Beast mutants with unique passive talents."
For example?
"For example, its attack power is increased several times, its mental energy consumption is reduced several times, and it has built-in damage reflection. Your mutated Soul Beast probably has at least two passive talents."
"Reduced mental energy consumption, increased attack power, or perhaps amplified Divine Power."
Unfortunately, none of that applies to me; I simply have Li Qiang.
"I apologize for my previous disrespect!" Li Liansheng said earnestly to Ling Yi.
Clearly, Li Liansheng is not a villain.
As for Li Wuque, he's probably not a villain, but whether he will be in the future is uncertain.
"However, mutated Soul Beast have a fatal flaw!" Li Liansheng added.
"Compared to other Soul Beast Master, it is extremely difficult for mutated Soul Beast Master to advance. The more passive talents they have, the harder it is to advance, and in some cases, they may not be able to advance at all."
Ling Yi shrugged and said, "No problem, there's always a way!"
Okay, this kid may be a bit headstrong, but he has a good attitude.
Moreover, even if this kid can't advance in rank, his current strength is already considerable. If he were to relinquish the battlefield, he could still play a significant role.
This potted plant is practically a mobile artillery platform.
Dealing with high-level wild Soul Beast may be difficult, but clearing out low-level Soul Beast can be very effective.
"Alright, the Awakening Center is open today, and I have a lot to do, so I'll take my leave now!"
After saying that, Li Liansheng turned and left.
"Grandpa, can I stay here?" Li Wuque suddenly asked.
Li Liansheng paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "It's possible, but you'll have to get the master's permission first."
After speaking, he looked at Ling Yi.
"Stay if you want!" Ling Yi said nonchalantly.
Li Liansheng left with the Skinny Monk and the Prefectural Administration Bureau.
Li Wuque then walked up to Ling Yi, clasped his hands in Fist Dao, "I was very rude just now; I was a little too rough with you!"
"It's alright, you can't beat me anyway!" Ling Yi waved his hand and said.
Li Wuque's lips twitched. He really wanted to beat him up. Was this guy really that sarcastic?
But he still said seriously, "That's true. If you weren't so weak, you would probably be seriously injured by now."
After a pause, Li Wuque Fist Dao to Liu San and the others, saying, "I am Li Wuque, greetings to you all!"
Seeing Li Wuque's scholarly demeanor, everyone felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Liu San and the others instinctively followed suit, clasping their hands in greeting.
Liu Shilin was alright, but Liu San and Liu Wufeng were noticeably very reserved.
The scene was a bit awkward.
"It's almost noon, I'll go tell the kitchen to prepare lunch!" Liu San said at this moment.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you!" Li Wuque said hurriedly.
"No trouble at all!" Liu San said, glared at Ling Yi, and turned to leave.
What happened today almost scared him to death.
I've never seen Ling Yi so stunned before!
Didn't you handle that person's matter quite cleverly before?
Ling Yi then walked to the flower bed in the courtyard and sat down, asking Li Wuque, "You should know a lot about the Soul Martial Academy, right?"
"I know you fairly well. I grew up at the Soul Martial Academy in Fuyun City. May I ask what Brother Ling would like to ask?"
"So, how do the students at the Soul Beast Academy usually improve their strength?"
Li Wuque knew that Ling Yi wanted to learn about the Soul Beast Academy in advance through him. Since he was about to become a student at the Soul Beast Academy, it didn't matter if he knew in advance.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Generally, after entering the Soul Martial Academy, there will be an assessment trial. Based on the results and the type of Soul Beast, students will be divided into classes."
"The assessment trial is divided into two parts: a data test and a challenge in the Trial Tower!"
Ling Yi nodded. "Yeah, that's a typical setting from an online novel."
"What is the Trial Tower?" Liu Shilin asked at this moment.
Has the Soul Beast Academy developed new tricks in just a few hundred years?
" The Trial Tower is the second Soul Beast of the principal of the Soul Beast Academy in Fuyun City."
Ling Yi curled his lip. So you just call it Soul Beast? Why not call it a Soul Weapon or Soul Treasure? Aren't Heroic Spirits all called Martial Soul?
Soul Beast? Really...
" The Trial Tower has a total of ninety-nine floors, each with different types and ranks of wild Soul Beast. The higher the floor you clear, the better your score."
"Are the Soul Beast in the Trial Tower real?" Liu Shilin asked again.
"It's true. The principal caught them all from the wild. It's said that there's a Ninth Tier Soul Beast on the 99th floor."
"Your principal must be very powerful!" Liu Shilin with some emotion.
"Naturally, our principal is one of the three Ninth Tier Soul Beast Master of the Qianwu Empire, and the only one who possesses three Soul Beast Soul Beast Master."
