Before long, the two saw a forty-meter-long green vine covered with sharp thorns, clinging to the trunks of several large trees, greedily sucking the essence of the trees.

"This is... Aoki vine?"

Seeing the green vines, Director Su's eyes lit up, and he then explained to Ling Yun.

"The Green Wood Vine is a vine-like spirit beast. Its length increases by one meter every ten years of cultivation. Judging from the length of this Green Wood Vine, its cultivation has reached four hundred years, making it very suitable as your first spirit ring."

"Alright, then please, Director Su, make your move and severely injure it, and I will deliver the final blow!"

"Haha, no problem, Martial Soul Possession!"

Chapter 4 The Power of the Five Elements, Transformation!

With a loud shout, a white wolf phantom appeared behind Director Su, which then merged with him. At the same time, Director Su's muscles bulged slightly, making him even stronger!

His martial soul is the Wind Wolf, which grants him swift speed and powerful attack capabilities.

As Director Su released his martial spirit, three spirit rings—white, yellow, and purple—appeared beneath his feet.

He was, after all, a commoner Soul Master. It was already difficult for him to cultivate to the level of a three-ring Soul Master. It was almost impossible for him to obtain a standard Soul Ring ratio like the children of noble families.

"Ling Yun, watch closely from the side. This is a battle between a Soul Master and a Soul Beast!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Director Su charged out like a gust of wind, his intense soul pressure instantly enveloping the green vine, freezing it in place, unable to move.

Immediately afterwards, Director Su extended his wolf claws and thrust them forward.

Swish swish!

With a piercing roar, Director Su swiftly cut through the vine, leaving countless wounds on the green vine, and blue sap gushed out, splashing onto the ground.

This was only because he held back; otherwise, with his level 36 cultivation, he could have killed Qingmu Teng in an instant!

After severely damaging Qingmu Teng, Director Su took out a sharp dagger and handed it to Ling Yun, saying, "Ling Yun, it's your turn now. Give Qingmu Teng the final blow, and then absorb the soul ring."

"no problem."

Ling Yun took the dagger and rushed towards the Green Wood Vine. He swung the dagger and slashed out. A flash of silver light appeared, and the Green Wood Vine was cut in half with one stroke!

The Green Wood Vine is, after all, a plant-based spirit beast with extremely strong vitality; even when it is cut in half, it still survives.

Ling Yun continued to wield his knife, cutting the green vine into seven or eight pieces before finally killing it.

As the Green Vine died, its soul power also seeped out of its body, condensing into a yellow soul ring that floated on the corpse.

"Is this a spirit ring?"

Ling Yun dared not waste any time, so he quickly sat down cross-legged, released his soul power to attract the soul ring, and added it to his Five Element Lock.

At the same time, the Five Elemental Locks also emitted a dazzling light, and then, without Ling Yun's guidance, the Five Elemental Locks began to absorb the energy from the soul rings on their own.

This is something capable of sealing the Five Spirit Kings, so absorbing the wood-attribute soul power from the soul ring is a piece of cake.

With the help of the Five Elemental Locks, Ling Yun absorbed the soul ring in just half an hour and slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, his soul power has reached level twelve!

Seeing Ling Yun open his eyes, Director Su smiled and said, "Congratulations, Ling Yun! From now on, you are a true Soul Master!"

"Hehe, I have to thank Director Su for helping me hunt down the soul beast."

"It's nothing, after all, I'm your teacher." Director Su waved his hand dismissively, then laughed and said, "Alright, Ling Yun, let me see your first soul skill."

I'm very curious, what kind of soul skills can the Green Vine's soul ring grant you?

"No problem, watch this! Five Elements Power, transform!"

Ling Yun gave a soft shout and then clicked the button on the Five Elements Lock. In an instant, the Five Elements Lock emitted a colorful light, and the yellow soul ring under his feet also flickered slightly.

Immediately, a surge of pure wood-attribute soul power flowed out from the Five Element Locks, enveloping Ling Yun within it.

After absorbing this rich soul power, Ling Yun's height instantly soared to 2.5 meters, his body was covered with thick fur, and a long and flexible tail appeared on his back.

He looks like a nimble monkey now.

This is the wood-attribute beast-type warrior: the Divine Wood Ape, which is also Ling Yun's first soul skill!

"This... could this be the true form of a Martial Soul?"

Director Su's eyes widened as he watched Ling Yun transform into a divine wood ape. He had once seen a Soul Saint senior display the True Form of a Martial Soul, which was exactly the same as Ling Yun's current state.

Could it be that Ling Yun has awakened his Martial Soul True Form? How is that possible?

Even the most clueless person knows that only those who reach the Soul Saint level can unlock their Martial Soul True Body.

"Ling Yun, what's wrong with you right now...?"

"Hehe, Director Su, don't be nervous, this is my first soul skill."

Ling Yun explained, "As I said before, my martial soul can store the energy of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Using this skill, I can transform into a beast-type warrior of the five attributes!"

And my current form is that of a wood-attribute beast-type warrior: the Divine Wood Ape!

"I see……"

Director Su wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself, "As expected of someone with innate full soul power, his martial soul is indeed extraordinary!"

While Director Su was still in surprise, Ling Yun had already darted out like an arrow, lightly pushing off with his legs to leap onto a tree branch ten meters high, and then darted through the forest like a gust of wind.

Now he not only has the speed and agility of an ape, but also the ability to manipulate plants. With a wave of his hand, he shouted loudly.

"The power of the Wood Spirit!"

In an instant, thick, green vines sprouted from the ground beneath his feet and, under his control, tightly wrapped around the surrounding trees and rocks.

Then Ling Yun gathered his soul power, and the vines suddenly exerted their strength, crushing the tree trunks and rocks with terrifying force!

Seeing this, Director Su was greatly shocked and murmured, "Not only does it have the strength and speed of an ape, but it can also manipulate plants? What a terrifying soul skill!"

"Let's try out the Divine Wood Ape's ultimate move next."

Just as Ling Yun was about to gather his soul power, he suddenly felt a wave of fatigue. His soul power was about to be exhausted, forcing him to deactivate his transformation and revert to his human form.

"It seems that transforming consumes a lot of soul power... But that's understandable, since my soul skill is equivalent to a martial soul true body. Besides, even Piggy Hero needs to rest for twelve hours to transform for ten minutes."

Thinking of this, Ling Yun felt relieved and immediately walked up to Director Su, smiling.

"Director Su, it's getting late, shouldn't we head back now?"

"Hehe, okay, let's go back."

As dusk approached, Director Su dared not linger in the Soul Hunter Forest and immediately took Ling Yun back to Notting Academy.

After obtaining his first spirit ring, Ling Yun was in high spirits. He went to the cafeteria for a sumptuous dinner before returning to Dormitory Seven to continue his cultivation.

Although he has now gained the ability to transform, he still needs a great deal of soul power to fight while transformed for an extended period of time.

However, as soon as he returned to Dormitory 7, he saw that the work-study students, who should have been resting, were actually cultivating. Some of them were meditating on their soul power, while others were sparring with each other.

Ling Yun frowned upon seeing this. What was going on? Everyone was acting like they'd been injected with chicken blood.

Upon seeing Ling Yun, Xiao Wu immediately exclaimed, "Oh? Ling Yun, you're back so soon?"

"Yes, I'm back." Ling Yun nodded. He didn't want to have too much contact with this 100,000-year-old rogue rabbit.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu approached and asked, "So, you've already obtained a spirit ring?"

"That's right, my soul power has now reached level twelve."

"Haha, great! Ling Yun has obtained a spirit ring! Now our chances of winning are even greater!"

Wang Sheng suddenly shouted, and then, seeing Ling Yun's bewildered expression, he couldn't help but explain.

"Lingyun, you don't know this, but Xiao Chenyu, a sixth-grader, is too arrogant. He always bullies us work-study students because he is the son of the city lord. This time, he even wants us to be his underlings."

This is intolerable! My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can't either!

So we made a deal with them: tomorrow in the school's woods, we'll settle this with a contest of skill, and the loser will become the other's underling!

"Ling Yun, you don't want to be someone else's lackey, do you? So you have to come tomorrow too. You're a one-ring Soul Master now, and with your help, we'll definitely defeat Xiao Chenyu!"

Chapter 5 Facing Xiao Chenyu

"No problem, I'm part of Dormitory 7 too!"

Ling Yun agreed, but he had other considerations. Xiao Chenyu was the son of the Lord of Notting City, and he might be able to make a fortune off him and earn a few gold soul coins.

With his innate talent of full soul power, his soul power will reach level 20 in less than three years. At that time, he wants to absorb a thousand-year soul ring that is beyond his level.

To absorb a spirit ring beyond his level, he must consume whale glue to strengthen his physique, but even in this era, whale glue remains extremely expensive.

Therefore, he must now do everything in his power to make money! And Xiao Chenyu is undoubtedly a way to make money.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun sat on the bed and began meditating to recover his soul power.

The next morning, Lingyun and Xiaowu, the students from Dormitory 7, hurriedly arrived at the small woods in the backyard of the school.

Looking at the lush trees all around, Ling Yun couldn't help but smile. The trees here were so abundant that the Divine Wood Ape could unleash its full potential!

Soon, in the heart of the woods, they spotted a group of fifteen children, all dressed in fine clothes, looking far more glamorous than the students working in the fields. They were clearly from wealthy families.

"Ling Yun, they are all sixth-year students, and the one in the lead is Xiao Chenyu!"

Xiao Wu pointed at a fair-skinned boy dressed in gray, and said fiercely.

"When the fight breaks out, Xiao Chenyu is my responsibility. I'm going to beat him so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him. As for the others, Ling Yun, they're yours!"

"Hehe, there's no need for that. I'm very capable now, and I can handle this kind of person by myself."

Ling Yun smiled confidently, and as he spoke, the group had already walked up to Xiao Chenyu.

Looking at Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng, Xiao Chenyu couldn't help but sneer, "Oh ho, you actually dared to come? You've got guts. I originally thought you work-study students would be too scared to come, or you'd go to the teacher to complain that I'm bullying you!"

"Hmph! Enough with the nonsense!" Xiao Wu stepped forward resolutely and said in a coquettish tone, "I'll definitely beat you so badly that you'll be begging for mercy and calling me Sister Xiao Wu!"

"Heh, let's see if you have the ability."

After scanning the room, Xiao Chenyu continued, "Don't say I'm bullying you. Since you only have eleven people, we'll send eleven of our own. We'll fight a one-on-one tag team battle until everyone on one side is down."

The losing side will have to be the other side's lackey forever, how about that? You can still regret it now!

"Who's backing out? I agree..."

Before Xiao Wu could finish speaking, Ling Yun stepped forward and said in an arrogant tone, "How can that be? That would be too much of a bullying for you."
