After returning, Wang Li quickly packed his belongings, folded his bedding, gathered his clothes, and turned to Wang Sheng, who was still boasting about how powerful his hundred-year soul ring was. He called out loudly:

"I'm leaving now to register as a soul master at the Spirit Hall, and then I'll head back to the village. There's money to be made from the registration, so you should register early too."

Wang Sheng waved his hand in response, but seeing so many of his brothers watching him eagerly, he couldn't leave just yet. He said:

"Got it, you go ahead!"

Then Wang Sheng turned to the crowd and asked:

"Are you all that eager to see me use my martial soul?"

After receiving enthusiastic affirmations from everyone, Wang Sheng's face lit up with pride as he exclaimed:

"Then let me show you all! Martial Soul—possess!"

With his soul ring now in place, Wang Sheng transformed into a powerful figure, akin to a towering tiger. His sharp teeth, claws, and strong muscles, combined with his striking black and yellow fur, radiated the aura of a beastly king.

The yellow soul ring sparked admiration among the crowd, reminiscent of those held by Tang San and Xiao Wu, both of whom had similar hundred-year soul rings.

Wang Li shook his head at the scene and strode out. Sometimes, he too yearned for the spotlight, but the stage felt too small to showcase his talents effectively.

After leaving the dormitory, he made his way outside the school. Having attended classes for eight months, he was well aware of the Spirit Hall's location.

Meanwhile, on the roof of the dormitory, in a private loft, Tang San approached Yu Xiaogang to share the thoughts weighing on his mind:

"Teacher, both Wang Li and Wang Sheng have become soul masters, each having absorbed a hundred-year soul ring…"

Yu Xiaogang appeared unfazed, as if he already knew:

"Xiao San, I've heard from the dean that Wang Li absorbed the hundred-year soul ring from the blue vine soul beast, and his soul skill, like yours, is 'Entanglement.' Wang Sheng absorbed the hundred-year soul ring from the tiger leopard cat, gaining the soul skill 'Hunting Heart' to enhance attributes. They are both quite fortunate."

Tang San hesitated for a moment, sensing the potential offense in his next words, but he couldn't hold back:

"Teacher, Wang Sheng is graduating, and now Wang Li wants to apply for graduation too. I've already become a soul master, so why do I need to stay at Nuoding Academy?"

Yu Xiaogang looked deep in thought, sensing the intent behind his disciple's question. He placed his hands on Tang San's shoulders and said:

"Xiao San, you care a lot about Wang Li, but there's really no need to. At the soul master level, as long as one has decent talent, they can progress quickly. That's likely the case for Wang Li, but with his third-level Blue Silver Grass martial soul, his future achievements will be limited. Becoming a soul master is just the beginning of the journey, and soon he will blend in with the crowd."

"As for you, my disciple, I will impart to you the most advanced knowledge of martial souls and soul beasts on the continent. So whether you stay at Nuoding Academy or go to another mid-level soul master academy, it's not crucial. The key is what happens after you graduate."

"Only then can you attend the truly elite academy, a place not meant for ordinary individuals. Those who can enter are the top talents, even referred to as monsters. Keep a level head and focus on your own path."

"When your name resonates throughout the continent, both Wang Li and Wang Sheng will only be able to look up at you."

After this pep talk from Yu Xiaogang, Tang San felt even more resolute in his heart. He was a genius, destined to reach the pinnacle of the continent with his twin martial souls. Wang Li and Wang Sheng were not even worthy of being his backdrop.

Tang San firmly believed this and respectfully said:

"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher. I shouldn't question your decisions!"

Yu Xiaogang narrowed his eyes slightly. It was a relief that Wang Li had left; the unusual Blue Silver Grass martial soul seemed to constantly challenge the validity of his research. After all, how could such a useless martial soul possess any potential for mutation?

He then turned his attention to Tang San, and a gentle smile broke through his usually stern demeanor:

"Xiao San, trust your teacher. You are my only disciple, and I would never harm you."

Tang San was deeply moved by these words.

While the teacher and disciple shared heartfelt sentiments, Wang Li had arrived at the Spirit Hall branch in Nuoding City.

Wearing the Nuoding Academy uniform, he had grown significantly in height and physique due to his consistent training and the absorption of a hundred-year soul ring, making him look like an eleven- or twelve-year-old boy rather than a six- or seven-year-old child.

As a result, the two guards at the entrance of the Spirit Hall greeted him politely:

"May we ask what brings you to the Spirit Hall?"

Wang Li smiled and calmly replied:

"I've obtained my first soul ring with the help of my academy teachers. I've come to register as a soul master."

The guards instantly understood and quickly stepped aside, speaking respectfully:

"Please, come in. Quite a few students from your academy have registered today. Nuoding Academy truly deserves its reputation as the cradle of soul masters in Nuoding City, producing so many soul masters every year."

The Spirit Hall branch in Nuoding City lacked the capability to have soul masters guard the entrance, so the two guards were merely ordinary people with soul power. If they could cultivate to level ten, they might receive a soul ring with the help of the Spirit Hall, which was why they were willing to stand guard.

Once Wang Li entered the branch, he announced that he was there to register as a soul master. A servant quickly approached him and respectfully guided him to Master Ma xiunuo, the branch's head.

Upon entering the room, Wang Li was greeted by Master Ma xiunuo, an elderly man with a warm smile and a gentle demeanor. Although his hair was already graying, it was neatly combed, and his robes were impeccably clean—such a person exuded an aura of integrity.

Master Ma xiunuolooked at Wang Li and, already aware of his purpose, smiled as he confirmed:

"Child, you've come to register as a soul master, haven't you?"

Wang Li nodded eagerly in response:

"Yes, Master Ma xiunuo."

Ma xiunuorose from his seat, walking toward the archive room while asking:

"Child, what's your name? Are you from the city or a village outside?"

Wang Li answered each question:

"My name is Wang Li, and I'm from Wang Family Village near Nuoding City. Master Su Yun Tao helped me awaken my martial soul."

Upon hearing this, Master Ma xiunuounderstood and quickly located the corresponding records. The Spirit Hall kept detailed documentation of children who had received help in awakening their martial souls.

In terms of control over soul masters, neither of the two empires could compare to the Spirit Hall, which continued to thrive while the two empires gradually declined for a reason.

At this moment, Master Ma xiunuoopened Wang Li's file and exclaimed in astonishment:

"Wang Li, your martial soul is the mutated Blue Silver Grass, with innate soul power at level three. It has been less than a year since your awakening…"

He looked up at Wang Li, his eyes filled with disbelief.
