Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 25 Graduation (New author asking for votes!!! TvT)

In the following years, it seemed that Notting Junior College had nothing left to teach; it was mostly self-study training classes.

Ye Wen didn't react much to this. What he needed now was time to accumulate enough cultivation.

Three more years passed, and Ye Wen's cultivation level had reached level 40. However, beneath his disguise, he was now merely a level 23 dual-spirit ring Grand Soul Master.

Even so, he was already a rare genius in the rural Notting Academy. Some intermediate academies, after learning about Ye Wen's cultivation level, even offered him admission without examination and said they would not charge him a penny of tuition.

Ah Yin, the only one who knew Ye Wen's true cultivation level, was shocked. She was only at level 35, which was much higher than Xiao Wu in the original story, but Ye Wen still left her far behind, making her anxious and angry. She had been in seclusion cultivating all day.

"Six years have passed since I became a Soul Master. Although I am not the strongest among them, I am strong enough to travel around this continent now."

"Then it's time to put the fourth spirit ring on the agenda."

Sitting silently on his bed in the dormitory, Ye Wen, who was now 1.8 meters tall and seemed to have stopped growing, let out a breath of stale air and thought to himself.

After finishing their final day of training, Ye Wen and A Yin were still stuck at level 40, without any change. They began packing their belongings.

Standing outside the door were two little girls, Huo Rui and Lanlan.

Three years have passed, and now, after obtaining their spirit rings, they are both over 1.4 meters tall. Although they are still petite, one is full of heroic spirit, and the other is gentle and elegant.

Ye Wen designed the Soul Rings for Huo Rui to target Soul Beasts that enhance physical strength, since her six self-created Soul Skills were sufficient for her to reach the Soul Saint level. The only limitation was the amount of power she could unleash. Therefore, Ye Wen hunted down a berserk bear with eight hundred years of cultivation for her. Its first Soul Skill, Berserk Power, could directly increase Huo Rui's physical strength by 30% and alleviate physical pain.

Furthermore, with the help of Ye Wen's second soul skill, "Imitation," Huo Rui's cultivation of soul power has also progressed by leaps and bounds. She has now reached the level of a Great Soul Master at level 20. She only needs to hunt for her second soul ring to officially become a Great Soul Master.

Lanlan, unaware that it was due to the principle of birds of a feather flocking together, had developed an elegant demeanor from cultivating alongside A Yin for a long time. In the current Notting Academy, she could be considered one of the two goddesses of the academy, alongside Huo Rui.

Unfortunately, when everyone in the academy learned that the two women were Ye Wen's disciples, they could only gasp in disbelief and gave up on harassing them.

Because the essence of Blue Silver Grass's martial soul was too weak, Ye Wen did not intend to let Lan Lan follow the path of control at all, but thoughtfully chose the path of support.

Unfortunately, Lanlan doesn't seem to have any talent for physical training; she got stuck at 350 jin (125 catties) and couldn't move.

The only commendable thing is that she cultivated next to Ah Yin, which enabled her to reach level 12. Ye Wen also hunted a 350-year-old jade aloe vera soul ring for her.

When absorbing this spirit ring, Lanlan seemed to be struggling, clearly indicating that her body's endurance was only just reaching this level. If she had absorbed the spirit ring according to the theory of Master Yu Xiaogang in the original work, Lanlan would probably have exploded long ago.

Furthermore, this spirit beast, which sounds like it has no fighting power, is more like a medicinal herb than a spirit beast. It has remarkable effects on burns and healing wounds.

As Ye Wen expected, after absorbing the spirit ring, the ordinary blue silver grass transformed into long blue silver vines. Some of them were quite plump, and when broken open, they resembled aloe vera inside.

The first soul skill is Blue Silver Healing, a pure healing soul skill.

Binding the Blue Silver Grass generated by the first Soul Skill to the wound can accelerate its healing, but it is useless against poison-type injuries.

It's just a regular hundred-year soul ring, what kind of auxiliary effects does it expect? Dream on.

Furthermore, based on Lanlan's performance in evolving her martial soul, Ye Wen scoffed at the first spirit ring that Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang chose for Tang San in the original work. He reasoned that as long as he obtained a hundred-year spirit ring, he could evolve the Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver Vine and directly leapfrog the ranks. Why bother to go through the trouble of obtaining the Mandragora Snake's spirit ring for such a small operational boost?

The most shameful thing is that they couldn't even defeat a hundred-year-old Mandragora Snake, yet they still clamored to hunt down soul rings for Tang San. It's truly laughable and foolish.

If Tang Buddha himself hadn't been exceptionally powerful, even if Yu Xiaogang had personally intervened, he could at most obtain two or three hundred-year-old soul rings, and those would still be of very ordinary combat strength.

If Tang San had chosen to acquire a plant-type spirit beast like the Ghost Vine as his first spirit ring, and then familiarized himself with the spirit power control of his own spirit, he could have created his own entanglement skill. Instead, he wasted a spirit ring slot pursuing that tiny, insignificant bit of poison.

Putting the cart before the horse — hetui

As you can see, Poison Douluo is known as the weakest, which clearly means that his resistance to poison is exceptional among high-level Soul Masters.

"Let's go. We'll complete the rest of our training at home. This academy has no other value now," Ye Wen said calmly.

The three women nodded silently.

The Notting Academy used to offer them only basic knowledge and minimal protection. Now, they are powerful enough to rule the city, so they have no reason to linger here.

As for Lanlan's enemies, Ye Wen had already assassinated them in the wild. After all, these arrogant nobles wouldn't stay at home all day; they indulged in pleasure and had far too many opportunities to assassinate her.

Furthermore, Ye Wen was adept at destroying evidence, making it impossible for those families to find him. They simply assumed that these noble scions, who were known for causing trouble, had offended a powerful Soul Master they shouldn't have and had their bones scattered to the winds. These lower-ranking nobles didn't dare to seek revenge, so they naturally let the matter drop without any clues.

The subsequent acquisition of spirit rings was once again a solo journey for Ye Wen.

After all, his ability to survive is now quite formidable, and the three women's combat abilities are far too weak compared to the place Ye Wen is about to go, offering no real help. Therefore, Ye Wen will have to go alone.

The location of this soul hunt is the largest gathering place of soul beasts, renowned throughout the entire continent.

Star Dou Great Forest!!!

A dangerous place filled with countless rare and precious materials, as well as various top-level ferocious soul beasts.

"Come and see! Top-quality golden rhinoceros horn, only 99 gold soul coins. You won't regret buying it!"

"The Gray Fox Mercenary Group is recruiting! We need a level 30 control-type guy."

"Freshly baked sesame seed cakes!"

Entering the closest gathering place of Soul Masters to the Star Dou Great Forest, Ye Wen ignored the shouts of the lower-level Soul Masters. He adjusted his state, activated his spatial ability to eliminate his aura, and then wandered into the Star Dou Great Forest.
