Chapter 17: Tang San's Contribution!
Absorbing a soul ring, becoming a true soul master!
Although Yun Feng was nearly three years behind Tang San and Xiao Wu, he didn't mind at all.
As long as his ideas were feasible and he gathered a few more suggestions, leveling up would be a quick process!
Over the past two years, Yun Feng had received some advice again.
Most of the advice overlapped, which frustrated Yun Feng.
But there were some new ones. For instance, a few months ago, Yun Feng received a suggestion.
"Yun Feng, can't you socialize more? You'll never find a girlfriend this way!"
Yun Feng looked at Tang San, utterly confused, not knowing what Tang San was getting at.
"Huh? Why?"
Tang San hadn't planned to bring it up. However, seeing how Xiao Wu was becoming more caring and closer to Yun Feng, he felt uneasy—jealous even!
Plus, when they first arrived at Nuoding Academy, Tang San had thought about helping Yun Feng find a girlfriend, which led to this conversation.
"Of course, it's for your future. Look at your innate spirit power, only at level one. You might not even get into a mid-level academy. Now, while you're still in school, quickly find a few more girlfriends. When soul masters pair up, there's a much higher chance their children will have innate spirit power!"
Just as Yun Feng was about to respond, a familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
[Detected suggestion from Tang San, the Child of Destiny: find multiple soul master girlfriends to reproduce. Reward: customized soul ring effect. (For each girlfriend you gain, you'll receive one soul bone, based on their natural talent.)]
Yun Feng almost burst out laughing upon hearing this.
After briefly understanding the detailed information, Yun Feng's eyes toward Tang San changed.
This guy was a great person!
A customized soul ring effect meant he could get any effect he desired, no matter what kind of soul beast he killed. However, the effect and power would depend on the age of the soul ring.
In other words, even if Yun Feng killed a lone bamboo beast, he could still obtain the Titan Ape's soul skill.
This was beyond absurd!
Although the attributes might not match, Yun Feng only thought about it for a moment, as there was a more entertaining idea in his mind.
For the past few months, Yun Feng had been trying to figure out a strategy.
If he was going to do this, he would do it to the best of his ability. And right now, only Xiao Wu seemed to have the right talent for this.
As for others, they didn't seem to possess good potential.
Tang San had been confused over the past few months as well. After his suggestion, Yun Feng seemed to have had an awakening.
Although Yun Feng didn't intentionally try to please Xiao Wu, he still kept a certain distance from her.
But, Yun Feng was becoming more handsome by the day!
Tall, handsome, and richer than Tang San.
While Tang San worked hard at blacksmithing, Yun Feng casually invented something, handed it to the Spirit Hall, and earned a share of the profits.
This made Tang San feel very uncomfortable.
Should he take out Yun Feng?
But Yun Feng hadn't done anything wrong to him. In fact, Yun Feng often took care of both him and Xiao Wu. Plus, Yun Feng was still his friend.
But if he didn't take out Yun Feng, watching Xiao Wu stick to Yun Feng every day made him feel uneasy.
Even though the three of them had a close relationship.
Torn, Tang San looked around to make sure no one was nearby.
Yun Feng stood up, dusted himself off, and suddenly thought of something. How would Yu Xiaogang react if he knew Yun Feng's current level?
In nearly three years, Yun Feng had reached the soul master stage. He only needed to obtain a soul ring now.
Meanwhile, despite receiving many resources, Yu Xiaogang had only gained half a level. Even with six years, Yu Xiaogang might not reach Yun Feng's current level.
The reason Yu Xiaogang was said to have relied on family resources for training was because he had admitted it himself.
Innate spirit power levels correspond to one's cultivation potential. Without any great opportunities, level one spirit power usually only reaches level nineteen!
Yu Xiaogang was born with half a level of spirit power.
Yet he cultivated up to level twenty-nine!
By combining various bits of information from the original story, it was clear Yu Xiaogang had stayed with his family until his twenties, stuck at his level.
In desperation to find a solution, he had gone to Spirit Hall in search of answers.
And, Yu Xiaogang had also mentioned that the threshold for reaching level thirty is like heaven and earth. One's fastest cultivation period is before the age of twenty. If someone hasn't reached level thirty by then, their future potential is minimal.
Later, he would deceive Bibi Dong and elope with Liu Erlong.
But after realizing that none of this helped, Yu Xiaogang began to flaunt his academic knowledge, hoping to gain recognition from his family.
However, it backfired. The theories he had stolen were not universally applicable.
Yet Yu Xiaogang remained stubborn, until he finally encountered Tang San, an exception to the norm, who fulfilled his theories.
Though it wasn't directly thanks to Yu Xiaogang!
Now that Yun Feng was about to acquire a soul ring, he decided to take a leave from the academy, saying he was going to visit his grandfather.
There were no objections to this, and Yun Feng quickly got permission. Of course, his reputation helped with this too.
Everyone at the academy saw Yun Feng as the most diligent one.
After leaving the academy, Yun Feng headed straight for Spirit Hall.
As for why he lied? Yun Feng believed that the fewer people knew, the better, to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
Especially Yu Xiaogang. If he got curious and wanted to study Yun Feng, what would he do?
And Yu Xiaogang, being a freeloader at Nuoding Primary Soul Master Academy, would likely spread the news if Yun Feng informed the academy.
So, there was no need to tell anyone.
Besides, although obtaining a soul ring wasn't a simple task, Yun Feng didn't want to expose himself to the academy teachers.
He just needed to find one with the right age, nothing more.
After all, with the customized soul ring effect, he had no other concerns.
So his only choice was Spirit Hall, where he was somewhat familiar.
Last time, Yun Feng had sold the soap he invented to Spirit Hall.
Spirit Hall valued talents who could create useful, practical inventions for the public.
So, they would help him out a little.
Arriving at the Spirit Hall branch, Yun Feng saw the astonished Ma Xiunuo.
Yun Feng just smiled lightly.
"Master Ma Xiunuo, I've just been focusing on training. Nothing special."
After inspecting the crystal ball several times, confirming there were no problems, and looking at Yun Feng's records, Ma Xiunuo felt something strange.
Could it be possible for a child with only level one innate spirit power to reach level ten in less than three years?
