Ye Hua's lips twitched. "So, this is what I'm supposed to do to save people?"

[That's right, please hurry up and make sure you reach Tang San before he does, otherwise Tang San's protagonist aura will activate, and Xiao Wu will be deeply bound to him.]

Ye Hua took a deep breath, and without hesitation, turned and disappeared into the dense forest behind the village, heading north.

Only after confirming that there was no one else within a hundred meters did he carefully sit down against the tree trunk.

"System, evolve your martial spirit."

[Command confirmed, Martial Soul Evolution commencing!]

The moment he finished speaking, a scorching power exploded from his dantian, surging wildly along his meridians towards his right palm.

Ye Hua looked down and saw his martial spirit manifesting.

The ugly wooden stick was no more than an adult's height, grayish-brown all over, with a rough surface as if it had been gnawed by wild dogs, full of pits and scars.

When they first awakened, Su Yuntao took one look and shook her head and sighed, while Old Jack bluntly said, "This thing is so sharp that you wouldn't even want to use it to start a fire."

But at this moment, this ugly wooden stick is changing!

The grayish-brown outer skin peels off, revealing a dark gold staff body with fine lines growing and extending on the surface, eventually forming a five-clawed golden dragon coiled around the staff body!

The dragon's head is raised at the top of the stick, and its tail wraps around the end of the stick, with distinct scales and claws, making it lifelike!

Ye Hua reached out and grasped it. The moment his palm touched the staff, the coiled dragon pattern suddenly flickered, as if responding to his heartbeat.

"This is..."

Ye Hua's voice trembled slightly.

Superior Martial Soul: Coiled Dragon Staff!

A truly powerful offensive weapon spirit!

Although it can't compare to the Six-Winged Angel, the Clear Sky Hammer, or the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, it is by no means a piece of trash that can be easily dealt with!

Ye Hua held the Panlong Staff, feeling the warm pulse emanating from its shaft, and let out a long sigh.

"System, continue, soul power breakthrough!"

[Command Confirmed - Soul Power Level Breakthrough in Progress]

An even more intense force exploded within his body!

If the evolution of a martial soul is like a bone transformation, then a breakthrough in soul power is like a blood transfusion. The meridians are forcibly expanded, and the soul power increases level by level!

Level 4

Level 5

Level 6...

Impurities in the body are expelled, and grayish-black grime seeps out of the skin, only to be blown away by the mountain wind.

The power gradually subsided until level fifteen.

Ye Hua opened his eyes, panting heavily.

He only needs to hunt down a soul beast and obtain a soul ring to directly break through to the Soul Master realm!

Ye Hua stood up, stretched his limbs, and his joints cracked and popped, as if a rusty machine had finally been lubricated!

"I will not attack unless attacked!"

"If anyone offends me, I will eliminate them completely!"

"Tang San, my hanging up hasn't been a disadvantage either!"

"You just wait!"

Ye Hua did not return to the village; there was nothing left in Holy Soul Village that would make him want to go back.

When he transmigrated, both his parents had died, and he barely survived on the meager savings they left behind. No one in the village was even willing to help him!

You weren't there when the sun was setting, but who are you now that it's rising again?

Ye Hua glanced one last time in the direction of Holy Soul Village, and after confirming that his breakthrough hadn't attracted Tang Hao's attention, he turned and walked in the opposite direction without looking back.

The distance from Holy Soul Village to Nottingham City isn't too far, but it still took a child two whole days to travel alone!

Fortunately, he had 100 gold soul coins as start-up capital from the system, which he converted into bronze soul coins. He hired an oxcart on the way, so his feet wouldn't get blisters from walking!

On the afternoon of the third day, the outline of Nottingham finally appeared on the horizon.

The city walls weren't high, but they felt more real than any ancient city he had ever seen on television in his previous life.

Moss grew on the gray brick walls, and people came and went in the city gate, with small vendors constantly coming and going.

Ye Hua passed through the city gate and inquired his way to the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Notting City. He lied and said that he had lost his Martial Soul Certificate and came to reissue it.

After successfully obtaining proof of the [Dragon Coil Staff and Innate Full Soul Power], and also receiving a subsidy, they set off for the Elementary Soul Master Academy.

The academy is located in the north of the city. It is not large, but it is much more impressive than the surrounding residential houses. A sign with the words "Noding Junior Soul Master Academy" hangs on the iron gate.

Ye Hua successfully completed his enrollment procedures using his money-making abilities. Just as he was about to intercept Xiao Wu in front of Tang San, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, a playful expression on his face.

Tang San?

Standing beside him was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a black robe, with a thin face and a gloomy look in his eyes, who seemed depressed and unsuccessful.

Master Yu Xiaogang!

Ye Hua looked around but didn't see Old Jack; it seemed he had already gone back.

Tang San also noticed that Ye Hua, who was dressed neatly and cleanly, suddenly contracted his pupils!

"Ye Hua? What are you doing here!"

"Where did you get the money to come to Nottingham?"

"No, you're not wearing a work-study student uniform. Where did you get the money to enroll?"

Tang San was stunned for a moment, then his heart was filled with rage!

It must be old Jack!

That old bastard talks a good game, but behind the scenes he gave all his money to this good-for-nothing for travel and tuition!

Why would they rather sponsor a useless person with only level three soul power than give this genius an extra coin?

Damn it!

They all deserve to die!

"What's wrong?" Yu Xiaogang noticed Tang San's unusual behavior and followed his gaze to Ye Hua. "Do you know this child?"

Tang San withdrew his gaze, and his expression instantly changed from ruthless to kind.

“I know him, but we’re not close,” Tang San said calmly and naturally. “We’re just from the same village, and I’ve only met him a few times.”

Yu Xiaogang nodded without asking any further questions.

Ye Hua sneered inwardly, thinking, "So Tang San's 'gratitude' only lasts two days!"

"So you're from the same village," Yu Xiaogang's brows relaxed. "I didn't expect that your Holy Soul Village would produce two promising talents who have awakened their soul power this year!"

"I just don't know... child, how much soul power do you have?"

The village that produced Tang San must be full of extraordinary talents, right?

What if this child is also born with full soul power?

Ye Hua raised an eyebrow slightly; he really didn't want to get involved with the Grandmaster, this "Douluo No. 2 hypocrite"!

How good can a scumbag be, knowing full well that Liu Erlong is his cousin, pretending not to know and dating her, causing her reputation to be damaged?

But before Ye Hua could think of a way to refuse, Director Su, who was in charge of admissions, rushed over!

"Master! What a joyous occasion, Master!"

"Our academy has a new student with innate full soul power this year!"

"My goodness, the dean will probably faint with joy if he finds out!"

Ye Hua's heart skipped a beat, and his lips twitched.

"Who?" The master was overjoyed. Tang San was born with full innate soul power, and now another one has come along with full innate soul power!

In other words, he has two samples to verify the "Ten Competition Theories of Martial Souls". With more materials, the error tolerance is naturally higher!

"Hey?" Director Su put his arm around Ye Hua's shoulder. "That's why I said you're blind! Our academy's genius is right in front of you!"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned, then looked at Tang San with slight dissatisfaction, "Xiao San, your fellow villager has innate full soul power. Birds of a feather flock together, and you still say you're not familiar with each other?"

Tang San, seeing Yu Xiaogang questioning him, was stunned and said, "Teacher, are you sure you're not mistaken...?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Director Su waved his hand. "Unless I'm blind, or this kid is strong enough to impersonate the Spirit Hall as proof!"

"Ye Hua, could you please give your proof to the director?"

Helpless, Ye Hua had no choice but to hand the certificate to Director Su, who then laid out the Martial Soul Certificate for inspection.

To everyone's surprise, Tang San immediately sneered, "Teacher, Director, you've all been fooled!"

"This martial spirit proof is fake!!!"

"He's a good-for-nothing, he doesn't deserve to be in school at all!"

“I propose that this liar be locked up and made to clean the toilets at the academy for six years, until he realizes his mistake!”

Hmph, Ye Hua, you asked for this! You colluded with Old Jack to deceive me, saying that the village didn't have the money to sponsor my schooling!

You have already made yourselves doomed!

Since you like Nottingham City so much, then stay here and see if your soul power will be ruined after six years of cultivation!

Chapter 3: Trash should rot in the mud for life!

Ye Hua's brow twitched.

Good grief, before he could even cause trouble for Tang San, Tang San had already attacked him!

Director Su's expression changed immediately!

He is forty-seven years old this year and has been working in admissions at the academy for more than twenty years. He has handled at least eight or ten thousand martial spirit certificates, and he can tell the real ones from the fake ones at a glance!

Ye Hua's certificate showed that the Spirit Hall's steel seal was clear and intact, the ink on the soul power detection column matched the background perfectly, and even the paper was specially made anti-counterfeiting paper by the Spirit Hall.

fake?

This is a slap in his face!

"Tang San," Director Su's voice turned cold as he carefully folded the certificate and returned it to Ye Hua, "what do you mean by that?"

"Literally," Tang San looked at Ye Hua expressionlessly, a barely perceptible gleam of pleasure hidden deep in his eyes, "I know this person, Ye Hua from Holy Soul Village."

"His martial soul is a wooden stick, and his innate soul power is level three, personally tested by Grandmaster Su Yuntao of the Spirit Hall. This certificate is fabricated by him!"

The playground fell silent in an instant.

Yu Xiaogang frowned, stepped forward, and tugged at Tang San's sleeve, lowering his voice, "Xiao San, don't act impulsively. The Spirit Hall's certificate is genuine; you might have misremembered..."

"Teacher, I'm not mistaken!" Tang San raised his voice, as if afraid that the people around him wouldn't hear him. "He's from the same hometown as me, and we grew up together. I know his background better than anyone."

"A level-three soul power trash with a wooden stick martial spirit, who wouldn't even dare to look me in the eye in the village. Now he suddenly pulls out a certificate of 'innate full soul power of the Panlong Stick'? Who is he trying to fool?"

People nearby had already been drawn over by the argument.

First, two part-time workers carrying books stopped in their tracks, then three students in formal school uniforms peeked out, and even a passing teacher stopped to watch.

In no time, more than a dozen people had gathered around the playground!

Tang San's voice grew louder, "Director Su, I'm asking you, did Ye Hua handle this enrollment process alone?"

"So what if it is?" Director Su's face was unpleasant.

“That’s right,” Tang San sneered. “He didn’t get a place in Notting City at all in the village!”

"How dare he, a discarded piece of trash, show up here? How can he produce proof of innate full soul power?"

He stepped forward, looking directly at Director Su. "Director Su, tell me honestly, did you accept a bribe from him?"

Boom—

The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar!
