Although Qi Ling was so confident, Meng Shenji couldn't help but pour cold water on him, saying, "Teacher Qi Ling, do you know why these two sisters are level 20 Soul Master instead of level 21 Soul Grandmaster?"
After thinking for a moment Qi Ling said, "In this situation, there can only be one possibility: they are unable to absorb Second Soul Ring, which is why their Soul Power remains at level 20, right?"
"Excellent!" Meng Shenji said, "To be honest, Teacher Qi Ling, these two children were originally the rising stars of the academy. Not only were they Innate Full Soul Power, but they also possessed the most unique Martial Soul, and they were born with their First Soul Ring upon awakening."
"Oh? Such talent is simply divine intervention. I imagine there are very few like her even in the entire empire," Qi Ling said.
Meng Shenji nodded and said, "Indeed, that's what we thought at first, but this situation only lasted until they broke through level 20! When they were supposed to absorb their Second Soul Ring, they couldn't absorb it smoothly no matter what they did!"
"We've tried many options for them, almost every Soul Beast they could possibly try, but none of them could absorb the Soul Ring! It's as if they're completely insulated from the Soul Ring; there's no reaction at all."
Qi Ling nodded. This situation was exactly the same as what happened to the Grandmaster back then. Although his Soul Power had reached the standard, he was unable to absorb the next Soul Ring.
"However, they don't seem bothered by it at all," Qi Ling said. "When they were cheerleading, I only saw their boundless enthusiasm; they didn't seem affected at all."
Meng Shenji smiled and said, "Indeed, this is what makes us teachers feel gratified. Although they suffered such a fate, they never gave up on themselves, and their singing and dancing are the best among all the students in the school!"
"With their resilient character, if they could successfully cultivate, they would surely achieve great things! It's just a pity that fate played a cruel trick on them!"
Then, Meng Shenji said to Qi Ling with great seriousness, "Teacher Qi Ling, I've also heard Dugu Bo say that you have many amazing skills, and your understanding of Martial Soul is far beyond what ordinary people can achieve. So if you can help these two children, I will thank you in advance on their behalf!"
Seeing Meng Shenji bow solemnly to her, Qi Ling quickly helped him up and said, "Chief Meng Shenji, you flatter me. I will naturally do my best for their sake, as it concerns the composition of the Imperial Fighting Team."
According to Meng Shenji, the two sisters are named Hua Yimeng and Hua Yidie. Besides cultivating and attending classes, they spend most of their time in the school's music room.
As the most prestigious academy, Heaven Dou Academy is naturally equipped with top-of-the-line musical instruments, since musical literacy is essential for nobles.
Following the signs, Qi Ling arrived at the music classroom of the Heaven Dou Academy, but just as he was about to go inside, he unexpectedly heard some noises.
" Hua Yimeng, Hua Yidie, I've disliked you two for a long time. You're clearly just two good-for-nothings, so why do you act so high and mighty every day! And you're always trying to attract boys' attention, you're shameless!" A rather sarcastic voice came from behind, making Qi Ling frown.
I never imagined that school bullying existed in this world. But it's not surprising, since wherever there are people, there will be conflict, especially among these spoiled young masters and ladies.
Through the crack in the door, Qi Ling observed the situation inside the classroom. The girl who was speaking was quite tall, and her heavy makeup made her unrecognizable. At this moment, she was directing the others to restrain the Hua sisters.
"Let us go, Jin Lina! We have done nothing to you, why are you targeting us!" one of the sisters said.
Jin Lina sneered and said, "Who said you didn't provoke me? Your very existence is what annoys me the most! You're clearly just two Trash Martial Soul, why won't you accept your fate? Why are you still so eager every day! It's just too infuriating!"
Hearing Jin Lina's reasons for being unhappy, Qi Ling shook her head helplessly. There are some people in this world who are unwilling to work hard themselves, yet they can't stand seeing others do well, and they wish that everyone in the world would be as decadent as they are.
After listening to Jin Lina's words, the Hua sisters said, "We know our Martial Soul has flaws, but even so, complaining and blaming others is useless! We should use that energy to do something more meaningful!"
"Moreover, my sister and I have never given up on our dream of becoming Soul Master. We believe that one day we will find a way to overcome the defects in our Martial Soul!"
Hearing what the two said, Jin Lina became even more furious. What she wanted to see was the despair in their eyes, but who would have thought that the more she pressured them, the more resilient they became.
"Damn it, don't even think about it! I will never let you succeed! I will never allow anyone to surpass me!"
Hmm, is this a typical case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong? Qi Ling couldn't help but look down on Jin Lina even more! Otherwise, if she really dared to cause trouble for Dugu Yan, Qi Ling would have thought more highly of her.
Enraged, Jin Lina said to her subordinates, "Looks like you won't listen! Fine, hey, teach them a lesson, cut off their hair!"
At this moment, Qi Ling knew she had no choice but to intervene; after all, it would be such a waste to cut off such beautiful long hair.
" Blood Devil Emperor: Possession!" Qi Ling summoned the Blood Devil Emperor Martial Soul, and then used her Third Soul Skill, Nightmare Descends.
These girls were actually just a group of Soul Grandmaster; Jin Lina, who had the highest Soul Power, was only level 29.
With strength that even Soul Elder lacked, they were utterly powerless against Qi Ling's Nightmare Descends. Qi Ling didn't even need to lift a finger; she could crush them all with just this shadow.
Just as Jin Lina and the others were about to start bullying, they saw a strange, dark fog seep in through the crack in the classroom door and then surround them.
"What... what is this?!" Jin Lina screamed, because the sudden appearance of the shadow was so terrifying, it was like something out of a horror story.
What terrified her even more was that these shadows had no physical form, so they had no way to get rid of them or dispel them; they could only watch helplessly as they were enveloped by them.
Soon, apart from the shadows and thick fog, only the two Hua sisters remained in the classroom, sitting there in surprise and uncertainty.
