Wasn't Your Martial Soul a Wolf? How Did It Turn into a Tiger?

"Whose junior is that baby?"

Diyala pondered for a moment, then fixed his gaze on Su Tanjie, looking him over.

Just as Xie Yue had said, even if a baby's body had mutated and he had awakened his Martial Soul before the age of six,

the academy still wouldn't admit him lightly without a strong backer, simply because he was too young and would be difficult to teach.

Diyala was an old fox himself. How could he not have thought of that?

Under the Platinum Bishop's scrutiny, Su Tanjie swallowed.

There really was no hiding it now.

But to be honest, he felt much more confident now.

As long as he stuck to his guns and said nothing about taking money, what did it matter if he revealed who the baby's elder was?

This baby not only had a Martial Soul, but also a Soul Ring. Having a Soul Ring so soon meant he absolutely had Innate Full Soul Power!

With talent of that caliber, what was wrong with making an exception to admit him? Even if he had gotten in through the back door, so what?

Su Tanjie immediately said to Diyala in a low voice, "He's Lord Lan Yang's cousin's grandson! I saw that the baby's talent was truly extraordinary, and since Lord Lan Yang happened to ask, I did him a favor..."

Su Tanjie said nothing about taking money.

Diyala was taken aback and quickly asked, "Old Lan's cousin's grandson?! Why didn't he tell me himself? If the child had a Martial Soul and a Soul Ring at this age, I could have made an exception and let him in."

"Perhaps he wanted to avoid suspicion?"

"Heh, that makes sense too..." Diyala smiled at that and said self-deprecatingly, "After all, when all's said and done, we all work for those important figures in Spirit Hall, right?"

Su Tanjie immediately smiled along. "Yes, yes."

Diyala said, "That old Lan, going behind my back to find you. I'll ask him tonight why he didn't tell me he had such an impressive cousin's grandson. Hahaha."

The new students of Class One had all begun training on the field.

The seven people, including Diyala, all looked over.

They mainly wanted to see whether the baby really did have a Martial Soul and a Soul Ring.

Hu Liena glanced at the other six and said, "Everyone's here. Let's all introduce ourselves first. I'll go first."

"Hu Liena, fourteen years old. My Martial Soul is the Demon Fox, and my Soul Power is level twenty-six."

Xie Yue said, "Xie Yue, fourteen years old. My Martial Soul is the Moon Blade, and my Soul Power is level twenty-seven."

Yan said, "Yan, fourteen years old. My Martial Soul is the Flame Lord, and my Soul Power is level twenty-six."

After introducing themselves, the three each released their Martial Souls, and two Yellow Soul Rings rose around each of them.

Seeing this, Diyala, who was watching from a distance, suddenly said, "Those three... Oh, I remember now. They're the three children the Pope's Hall singled out for close attention, aren't they?"

Su Tanjie said, "That's right. The three of them didn't meet the age requirement when they enrolled, but His Holiness the Pope took a liking to their talent and personally made an exception to admit them."

Diyala nodded in appreciation.

"They're fourteen, and their Soul Power is all above level twenty-five. It's no wonder His Holiness the Pope appreciates them. I'm finally seeing a little hope."

Over on the training field, Miao Duoduo was already staring in shock.

Those three really were terrifying.

Aside from the three of them, there probably weren't any two-ring Soul Masters in the whole of Class One.

As for their ages, everyone had heard about them long ago. Students whom His Holiness the Pope had personally singled out for exceptional admission were a big deal.

"Miao Duoduo... twelve years old. I really am twelve. My Martial Soul is the Ghost Vine, and my Soul Power is... ahem, level six."

His teammates were taken aback. Even Lin Luo couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth.

Level six Soul Power? Bro, where had all that pride of yours come from?

"Sai Kaka, twelve years old. My Martial Soul is the Pink Pig, and my Soul Power is level eleven."

"Luo Ya, twelve years old. My Martial Soul is the Jade Bell, and my Soul Power is level eleven."

The other two bargain-bin teammates introduced themselves as well. Level eleven Soul Power was just enough to meet the requirements for new students.

They really were weak.

The expressions on Xie Yue and the other two's faces could already be described as ugly.

The Soul Power of their three teammates combined was about the same as Xie Yue's alone...

Just then, all six turned to look at Lin Luo. Hu Liena crouched down and said, "Baby Yiyi, show us your Martial Soul and Soul Ring again, so everyone can get familiar with them."

In the distance, Diyala asked, "Su Tanjie, what's the little fellow's Martial Soul?"

Su Tanjie said, "The Azure Wolf. He has one ring, and it's a Yellow Soul Ring at that. Dean, for such a tiny body to be able to absorb a Yellow Soul Ring is truly remarkable!"

Diyala couldn't help nodding. "Indeed. I'm looking forward to seeing it."

But Lin Luo himself suddenly froze.

He was done for.

Because he'd forgotten something...

His one-ring Azure Wolf Martial Soul had come from the [Martial Soul Simulation] reward, but that reward was a one-use item!

After one Simulation, it was gone.

Lin Luo had actually forgotten all about that. He'd even been thinking he could release the Azure Wolf Martial Soul again today and get through this.

Seeing that Lin Luo still hadn't released his Martial Soul, Xie Yue couldn't help saying, "Brother Baby might be talented, but he's still too young. I reckon whether he releases his Martial Soul depends on his mood. How about we find a student from Class Two to replace him?"

How could that work?

He was still counting on them to come pick him up for school.

Lin Luo looked seriously at his inventory.

He had a pile of [Martial Soul Simulation] rewards, including several copies of the exact same [Martial Soul Simulation].

But he'd only had one Azure Wolf.

He'd needed one in a hurry yesterday and, in the heat of the moment, had chosen the Azure Wolf Martial Soul, of which he'd only had one.

Lin Luo quickly made another selection: [Martial Soul Simulation: Flame Tiger]. He had five of this one-use reward, enough for five uses.

As for why his Martial Soul was different from yesterday?

Sorry, hadn't they heard of Twin Martial Souls?

A baby awakening a Martial Soul was already an outrageous mutation. What did it matter if it was a little more outrageous?

Hu Liena said, "Baby Yiyi, hurry up and release your Martial Soul."

Lin Luo looked up. "Yiya!"

This time, Soul Power fluctuations with a completely different presence radiated from him.

Because this time, he had two rings!

Blistering flames enveloped Lin Luo's tiny body, and a fierce tiger bathed in fire appeared behind him. Its low growl utterly overawed the six people present.

Xie Yue rubbed his eyes, thinking he'd seen wrong.

He'd been stunned when the Martial Soul's light changed from cyan to yellow, but now, good grief, the wolf had gone and turned straight into a tiger!

"This... w-w-wasn't his Martial Soul a wolf yesterday?!"

Yan cried out in surprise, his eyes wide as copper bells.

Their teammates stared dumbfounded.

Miao Duoduo was even more outrageous. Worthy of being Lin Luo's number one fanboy, he actually dropped to his knees.

"My Brother Baby actually has Twin Martial Souls..."

His face was full of shock as he spoke.

Just then, two Yellow Soul Rings slowly floated up from Lin Luo's body.

Miao Duoduo stared blankly once more.

Once again, he was shocked. "Not only does he have Twin Martial Souls! His Second Martial Soul has two Soul Rings too! Brother Baby! You're my god!!"

Wasn't student Yi's talent a little too ferocious...? Xie Yue and the other two stared fixedly, unable to speak.

Diyala, who was watching from a distance, was dumbfounded too. It took him a while to recover before he hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say his Martial Soul was a wolf? How did it turn into a tiger? And it has two rings?"

"I... I don't know!"

The expression on Su Tanjie's face could only be described as a sight to behold.

Both delighted and shocked, he said, "Could it be Twin Martial Souls?"

Diyala took a deep breath. "Old Lan's cousin's grandson is defying the heavens! It looks like I really must have a good talk with him today."
