The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 10 Two Years Later

The chefs present were slightly taken aback when Xia Liang suddenly picked up something that looked like a whale's bloody goosebump from the trash can.

When they saw the whale's bloody skin cleaned by the water, revealing a light yellow crystalline form, a hint of surprise appeared in their eyes.

"Ah Liang, do you recognize this thing?" the old chef couldn't help but ask.

"I don't recognize it, but it looks quite pretty. Uncle Chen, you can take it if you want. Your child probably likes collecting these strange and unusual things, just like me."

As he spoke, Xia Liang handed the old chef a light yellow crystal about the size of a thumb.

The old chef covered his nose, somewhat disgusted, and said, "Forget it. This stuff smells too fishy. You should keep it. My wife will definitely scold you if you take it home for the kids to play with."

"The fishy smell is indeed a bit too strong." Xia Liang also covered his nose with his other hand. "I was thinking of using it as a pendant."

"Ah Liang, that's enough. Come back quickly. Otherwise, I won't take care of your cooking anymore," a chef who was cooking for Xia Liang suddenly complained.

"Okay." Xia Liang replied, tucked the light yellow crystal into his waistband, climbed onto the high stool, and continued cooking.

No one spoke again, nor did they pay much attention to the matter.

After all, Xia Liang was just a six-year-old child, and children like to collect these strange and unusual things.

It was midnight, and the night was deep and quiet.

After finishing his part-time job at the fish-fried rice restaurant, Xia Liang rushed back to Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

The security guard allowed him in after he showed his college credentials.

Back to Dormitory 7.

Lin Xiaohe, Wang Sheng, and the other half of their roommates were not asleep. They sat cross-legged on their respective beds, all in a meditative state.

Walking to his bed, Xia Liang carefully took off his shoes. He had just returned from taking a shower at the fish-shaped rice restaurant and felt refreshed enough to go straight to sleep.

I'm so tired after a long day.

I am extremely exhausted, both physically and mentally.

The feeling of being transported from Earth to the Douluo Continent to serve as a beast of burden is truly unbearable.

Xia Liang didn't plan to meditate or cultivate anymore, nor was he in a hurry to test whether the light yellow crystal was whale glue. After getting into bed, he lay comfortably and closed his eyes to rest.

Will the next six years at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy be this tough?

In fact, with his Skeleton Martial Soul, he could have easily joined the Spirit Hall and curryed favor with Ghost Douluo.

However, his innate fifth-level soul power was not outstanding, and as a complete stranger, he might not be able to catch the eye of Ghost Douluo.

Furthermore, the higher-ups at the Spirit Hall are not as wonderful as one might imagine; rather than relying on others, it's better to rely on oneself.

As long as you can ultimately do whatever you want in this world where the strong rule, all the hard work and sacrifices will be worthwhile.

Clearing his mind, Xia Liang quickly fell asleep.

""

Two years later.

Guowan Village, the old village chief's house.

Xia Liang woke up from his sleep.

He got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast.

During his two years at the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, Xia Liang studied diligently every day, learning about Soul Masters and Soul Beasts.

I always attend the theory classes in the morning, but in the afternoon, I go to the back mountain of the academy to meditate and practice.

Because the most important thing now is to increase knowledge reserves and improve soul power, the academy's practical combat courses don't actually teach any useful combat skills.

After finishing my afternoon meditation practice, I went to work part-time at the fish-grilled restaurant.

After finishing my part-time job, I went back to my dorm to sleep.

This is basically the rhythm of my life every day. Although it's tough, it's very fulfilling.

The various training methods employed by Soul Masters filled the void left by not having a mobile phone to play with.

Two years have passed just like that. The semester is over, and there's a three-month break.

When school starts again, I will be a third-year student.

While making breakfast, Xia Liang reflected on his experiences over the past two years with a smile on his face. Not only had his cooking skills improved, but he had also developed a unique seasoning for Blue Star.

With these seasonings, you can make dishes exactly the same as those on Earth, such as roast duck, Chongqing noodles, and steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers.

Xia Liang did not reveal the preparation methods of these dishes to Mr. Cui, the owner of the fish-shaped rice restaurant.

He planned to wait until he reached major cities like Tiandou City or Xingluo City before selling the recipes to five-star restaurants in a safe manner, thus earning more money to buy various cultivation resources.

However, Xia Liang did tell the owner of the fish restaurant, Mr. Cui, how to make sauerkraut fish and grilled fish. After all, when working for Mr. Cui, some things can't be kept secret.

Rather than hiding it and causing resentment, it's better to reveal it and get better rewards.

Fortunately, Boss Cui was a reasonable man. Seeing that Xia Liang had brought huge profits to the restaurant, he was generous and raised the wages of all the chefs to one silver soul coin per day.

As a result, Xia Liang not only did not offend any of the chefs, but also received various forms of care from them.

The biggest achievement in the past two years has to be the discovery of ten-year-old whale glue.

The light yellow crystal at the time was indeed whale glue. Although it was only ten years old, the benefits of ten years of whale glue were just right for a six-year-old child.

To date, Xia Liang has consumed nine pieces of ten-year-old whale glue.

The weak power of whale gelatin does not have a strong aphrodisiac effect; on the contrary, it has a certain nourishing effect on the child's body.

As early as when he took the fifth piece of ten-year whale glue, Xia Liang's physical condition was already better than that of his peers.

With the enhancement of nine pieces of ten-year whale glue, absorbing a five-hundred-year-old first spirit ring should be no problem.

Aside from physical strength and knowledge reserves, the biggest improvement was in soul power.

After two years of meditation and arduous training, Xia Liang has improved his soul power from level five to level nine. If he works hard during the three-month vacation, he might be able to break through the level ten bottleneck and obtain his first soul ring.

After breakfast.

Xia Liang went to cultivate on a small hill outside the village. On the way, he saw Su Yuntao leading six or seven children into a small wooden house, watched by the old village chief.

Today marks the village's annual Martial Soul Awakening.

According to the original plot, none of these children were able to awaken innate soul power.

Because three months from now, there will only be two new work-study students in Dormitory 7 of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, namely Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Tang San is now six years old. After Su Yuntao helps the children of Guowan Village awaken their martial souls, he should head to Shenghun Village.

At that time, the original storyline will officially begin.

Thinking about all this, Xia Liang couldn't help but feel fortunate that he didn't have as many cheat codes as Tang San, but he still had some.

The Skeleton Martial Soul can be trained using Susanoo as a template, and it also has the undead attribute that it has not yet fully mastered.

These are your own cheat codes.

Xia Liang felt that he had another major advantage: he had read the original work.

With the advantage of knowing the original plot in advance, as long as they are willing to work hard, their future achievements will certainly not be too bad.

Let's set a small goal first: to obtain a first soul ring with a 500-year limit within six months, and to change the shape of the ribs of the Skeleton Martial Soul.

Three months later.

Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

Dean's Office.

Dean Ding was sitting behind his desk, reviewing the materials submitted by returning students.

Every year at the start of the school year, new students register and returning students return to campus.

New students need to submit proof of their admission application, while returning students need to submit a summary of their spiritual practice every two years.

With this cultivation summary, the academy can know the cultivation progress of each student and provide better cultivation guidance.

Flipping through the stacked files, Dean Ding nodded approvingly after seeing Xia Liang's cultivation summary, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Two years ago, when Xia Liang first joined Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, his freshman enrollment information stated: Martial Soul: Skull, Innate Level 5 Soul Power.

Now, Xia Liang has finished second grade and submitted his holiday summary, which reads: Martial Soul: Skull, Soul Power: Level 10, First Soul Ring not yet acquired.
