The process of applying for early graduation at the academy went smoothly, without any hitches.

Of course, everyone was quite surprised that Ling Yi had successfully hunted a Soul Ring in just a little over ten days, and it was even a hundred-year-old Soul Ring.

All along, Ling Yi had been the epitome of inspiration and the model child in the eyes of all the teachers and students at Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy.

With merely a Half-Level Innate Soul Power and a Worthless Soul Weapon, 'Blue Silver Grass,' and a background far below the living standards of a typical Soul Master family, he had managed to become a prominent figure in the junior Soul Master Academy in Muzhi City, the capital of the Waterwood Principality. This was truly remarkable!

Apart from becoming the thirteenth personal disciple of Master Jin, one of the Three Great Craftsmen of the Principality, and a Senior Blacksmith, he had now become a Soul Master at the tender age of ten, completely overturning everyone's perception of his innate soul power and Wuhan.

The fixed perception of 'Blue Silver Grass' was indeed unshakable; otherwise, what else could it be?

On the vast Douluo Continent, Soul Masters awaken every day, and every day, there are some lucky ones with Soul Weapon mutations.

Compared to those with Eighth-Level and Ninth-Level Innate Soul Power, or even Innate Full Soul Power, whose Wuhan carry Dragon Blood, Phoenix Blood, or other powerful attributes, a mere Ling Yi was truly insignificant!

What good is a 'Blue Silver Grass' Wuhan, even if one becomes a Soul Master?

Forget about 'Blue Silver Grass' Wuhan never producing a Soul Venerable... No, not even a Great Soul Master. Even if one had extraordinary luck and became a Soul King or Soul Emperor, could they possibly stand up to a Soul Patriarch with a Soul Weapon like 'Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus' or 'Heavenly Hammer'?

Indeed, there are seven or eight types of Soul Master paths. 'Blue Silver Grass' Wuhan cannot take the Strong Attack, Agile Attack, or Defensive types, but it still has potential in the Control, Healing, Support, and Food types.

But still, the Wuhan quality is too low. Compared to high-quality Wuhan of the same type, 'Blue Silver Grass' Wuhan remains uncompetitive.

In the Control type, forget about the top-quality 'Thunder Hell Vine' that can rival 'Heavenly Hammer' or 'Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus.' Even the medium-to-high-quality 'Ghost Vine' or the low-quality 'Iron Bark Vine' and 'Golden Silk Climbing Ivy' have more potential than 'Blue Silver Grass' Wuhan.

In the Healing type, there is the continent's top 'Nine-Hearted Begonia,' followed by the renowned 'Purple Moon Orchid,' 'Holy Light Rose,' and 'Purifying Water White Lotus.' In the common Soul Master teams, there are also 'Nourishing Essence Flower' and 'Bloodstopping Grass' Wuhan, which are frequently seen.

In the Support type, there are 'Seven Treasures Crystal Tower' and 'Star Crown.' In the Food type, there are various grains, pastries, fruits, sweets, and meats...

So, Ling Yi, you should continue with your relatively promising career as a blacksmith.

The path of a Soul Master is not suitable for a lucky one with 'Blue Silver Grass' Wuhan.

This was the unanimous opinion of everyone in Muzhi City who knew Ling Yi and his situation.

So, when Ling Yi bid farewell to his classmates and teachers, whom he had studied and discussed Wuhan and soul beasts with for over three years, and came to the Jingeng Blacksmith Shop to make a request to Master Jin, Master Jin and the others, including the ninth senior brother, were all left in a daze.

...

"What did you say—?!"

Master Jin held the teapot in one hand, forgetting to bring it to his mouth, and looked at Ling Yi with a stunned expression.

At this moment, Ling Yi had already taken off his Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy uniform and was dressed in a simple, light blue robe. A small, round metal emblem adorned his chest, complementing his tall and straight posture and his handsome, fair face, making him look extraordinary and impossible to ignore.

Standing before Master Jin, Ling Yi bowed slightly, his tone sincere and respectful, and repeated, "Master, I would like to ask you to help me introduce me to Master Fu Shan."

"Not that part~" Master Jin waved his hand and asked again, "I mean, what do you want to do with Xiao Fu?"

Faced with the old master's questioning, Ling Yi responded calmly and firmly, "I want to ask Master Fu to help write a letter of recommendation for me to enter the Principality Military Logistics Department..."

Master Fu Shan, one of the Three Great Craftsmen of the Waterwood Principality, serves in the Principality Military Logistics Department. He is fifty-eight years old, nearly twenty years younger than the seventy-something Master Jin Gang, and seven years older than Master Li Qiang, the Court Retainer.

Most importantly, when Master Fu broke through to the Blacksmith Master level, he received guidance from Master Jin!

Similarly, the Master Li in the court also received some guidance from Master Jin.

Or, to put it another way, in the forty years since Master Jin returned from Metal Capital 'Gengxin City,' he has taught and guided countless people. Even the other two of the Three Great Craftsmen have received verbal guidance from him.

This verbal guidance, over the past ten to twenty years, has only made their relationship relatively friendly, leaving some room for mutual competition.

Neither Master Jin himself nor the twelve senior brothers before Ling Yi had ever thought of having any deeper interactions with the other two and their disciples beyond competing in forging weapons and armor.

Even when Master Jin was invited to Duke Mu Feng's court to attend a banquet, he and Master Li Qiang only exchanged polite pleasantries and idle chatter.

But in Ling Yi's eyes, this was a tremendous waste of human resources!

Interpersonal relationships are not afraid of owing favors, but of no interaction!

How many friendly relationships have become distant and bland due to mere politeness and formality?

As long as one maintains a proper balance, with give and take, sometimes the more one owes, the closer and more solid the relationship becomes.

Now, while planning his next steps in life, Ling Yi is also exploring the first step towards a more harmonious relationship between Master Jin's lineage and the disciples of the other two Great Craftsmen.

After all, to the outside world, to the Soul Master system, and to the old and new noble groups, the three Great Craftsmen and their disciples are natural allies on the same front!

Ling Yi is no longer content with being the thirteenth personal disciple of Master Jin.

With his soul power breaking through to level ten and possessing a hundred-year-old first Soul Ring, he wants more now!

Moreover, the military has various conveniences that Ling Yi wants to plan for next.

It concerns whether his strength can be quickly enhanced again and whether his future path can be longer and smoother—
