"Sorry, everyone, I'm late." Jing Shaoyu parked his bike and jogged to the trio.
"Hehe, it's okay, we just arrived too, right, brother?" Xu Xiaoyan smiled sweetly, reaching out to poke the cold-faced teenager beside her.
Three years had passed, and Xu Xiaoyan had become even more beautiful. Her light blue hair was tied into two small braids, and her big, dark eyes were particularly pretty. However, she hadn't grown much taller, still only reaching Jing Shaoyu's chest. Of course, this was also because Jing Shaoyu had grown too tall; after all, his height had exceeded 1.5 meters, far surpassing his peers.
"Yes!" The teenager being poked in the waist by Xu Xiaoyan was Xu Xiaoyu, Xu Xiaoyan's brother, fourteen years old, a prospective first-year student in the Advanced Division of East Sea Academy, and the young master of the Xu Family. He said somewhat helplessly, who would have thought that the sister who was once a caring little cotton-padded jacket three years ago would now be leaking air everywhere?
"Xiao Yu Ge, Sister Zixin." Jing Shaoyu politely greeted Xu Xiaoyu and another tall, pretty girl.
"Hahaha, alright, now that A Yu is here, let's go in quickly." The girl Jing Shaoyu called Sister Zixin laughed heartily. She was Ouyang Zixin, the granddaughter of Ouyang Jian, and would later be Tang Wulin's secret crush. Unfortunately, love was unrequited. Ouyang Zixin didn't seem to like little lolis, otherwise Jing Shaoyu would definitely not be able to escape.
The four of them smoothly arrived at the control room of a primary Spirit Ascension Platform. The staff was already very familiar with them, so without extra words, they directly prepared everything for the four.
Jing Shaoyu lay in the metal pod he had lain in many times, calming his mind and relaxing his body. For him, these steps had been experienced many times, especially after he broke through to become a Great Soul Master, almost once a week.
Here, it needs to be explained in detail. After Jing Shaoyu became a Great Soul Master, Ji Changming allowed him to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform once a week. In this way, he could enter the Spirit Ascension Platform four times a month. One of these four entries was naturally borne by the academy, and the other three, according to Ji Changming, were jointly borne by the Administrative Headquarters of East Sea City and the Spirit Pagoda of East Sea, as an investment in him.
Jing Shaoyu naturally did not refuse.
...
In the dim forest, Jing Shaoyu appeared out of thin air. Not far from him, Xu Xiaoyan also landed on the ground.
"Great, Brother Xiao Yu!" Xu Xiaoyan showed an excited smile when she saw Jing Shaoyu, trotting up to hug Jing Shaoyu's arm. She said, "Finally, I don't have to be alone this time!"
"Don't worry." Jing Shaoyu patted Xu Xiaoyan's head, comforting her, and then said, "Summon your Martial Soul, let's go, stick close to me."
"Mmm-hmm!" Xu Xiaoyan immediately nodded her little head, and the Martial Soul Star Wheel Ice Staff appeared in her right hand. Her left hand tightly grasped the corner of Jing Shaoyu's clothes, following closely behind him.
Jing Shaoyu also released his Martial Soul. The Crown of Nature first appeared behind his head, a jade-like ring inlaid with two pure white gemstones. Then, a purple flowing cloud pattern appeared between his eyebrows, followed by a pair of Origin Wings. Finally, there were two purple Soul Rings suspended behind him, and a vermilion jade-like little bird flew out, landing on his shoulder.
In three years, Jing Shaoyu's Soul Spirit Red Jade had unexpectedly evolved into a thousand-year purple Soul Spirit.
In this way, he became a Great Soul Master with two purple Soul Rings, which was unprecedented in the history of East Sea City for over a thousand years. No wonder Ouyang Jian and Ji Changming would value him so much.
"Red Jade, go scout ahead." Jing Shaoyu patted the little bird on his shoulder and said.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp~" Red Jade flapped its wings and flew forward.
Having evolved into a purple Soul Spirit, Red Jade's appearance had changed significantly compared to three years ago. Although it was still vermilion overall, it had more jade-like quality and transparency than before. A golden, flowing feather had grown from the rhombus-shaped gem on its forehead, and the feathers of its tail had become longer, wider, and fluffier, like flames.
"Xiao Yan, how many years has your Bai Xue been cultivating for now?" Jing Shaoyu asked as he moved forward.
Bai Xue, Xu Xiaoyan's Soul Spirit Mystic Ice Cat.
"Let me think, it seems to be around seven hundred and fifty years, hehe, I can't quite remember." The girl was suddenly asked this question and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. She showed a somewhat silly smile and said.
"You little rascal!" Jing Shaoyu looked at her speechlessly, pinching her nose with a sense of disappointment, and said, "Can you put a little more effort into cultivation?"
Despite Jing Shaoyu's repeated urging, the girl was still as indifferent to cultivation as in the original story, belonging to the type who fished for three days and dried the net for two. Otherwise, with her Innate Full Soul Power talent, she wouldn't be barely at level twenty-two now, it was simply a waste of talent.
"Hehe, I will, I will." Xu Xiaoyan liked Jing Shaoyu's actions very much, and even deliberately stretched out her head, rubbing against his shoulder, giggling.
"Your body should be able to withstand a Soul Ring of about nine hundred years now," Jing Shaoyu patted the girl's shoulder dotingly, and said confidently, "Okay, today's goal is to strive to increase your Bai Xue's cultivation to more than eight hundred years!"
"Yay!" Xu Xiaoyan clapped her hands and cheered, "Goal, eight hundred years!"
The two shuttled through the dense jungle, with Red Jade scouting the way ahead. Whenever it discovered a Soul Beast, it would give feedback to Jing Shaoyu, and then Jing Shaoyu would take Xu Xiaoyan over to solve the discovered Soul Beast.
In this way, the two quickly killed dozens of Soul Beasts, including many hundred-year Soul Beasts. The spiritual power of these Soul Beasts added up to more than a hundred years, and Jing Shaoyu let Xu Xiaoyan absorb it all.
After absorbing this hundred years of spiritual power, Xu Xiaoyan's Soul Spirit's age increased by fifty years, reaching eight hundred years.
Jing Shaoyu wanted to do it in one go, directly raising Bai Xue's cultivation to nine hundred years, but Xu Xiaoyan seemed to have reached her limit. Her small face was flushed, and her eyes were a little dazed, obviously overwhelmed by the sudden increase in Soul Ring age.
"Xiao Yu Ge, I..." Xu Xiaoyan looked at Jing Shaoyu somewhat at a loss, a trace of panic flashing across her pretty face as she called out.
"It's okay, you go out first." Jing Shaoyu said helplessly, gently stroking her hair and comforting her, "This is a good thing, don't worry. Meditate immediately after leaving the Spirit Ascension Platform."
"Mmm-hmm!" Under Jing Shaoyu's comfort, Xu Xiaoyan calmed down a lot. She looked at Jing Shaoyu and said sweetly, "Xiao Yu Ge, I'll wait for you outside!"
Xu Xiaoyan left, and now Jing Shaoyu could only move forward alone, which made him feel a lot more at ease.
A Light Wind Falcon swooped down from the sky towards him. Jing Shaoyu didn't bother with such a reckless Soul Beast. With a sword finger extended, several straight and slender branches with sharp, blade-like tips flew out from behind him. The branches, like spears, pierced through the Light Wind Falcon's body and wings, instantly killing it without feeling any pain.
As Jing Shaoyu's realm and strength increased, he became more and more adept at using Plant Control. In the forest environment of the Spirit Ascension Platform, almost every tree and every blade of grass could be his weapon. These sharp branches that pierced the Light Wind Falcon were a wild bramble at his feet.
After all, Plant Control is one of the few combat abilities of the Origin Spirit Martial Soul, so how could Jing Shaoyu not develop it in depth?
"Chirp~" Red Jade rushed up and swallowed the Light Wind Falcon's spiritual power in one gulp, then let out a joyful cry. A Light Wind Falcon of about fifty years allowed Red Jade's cultivation to increase by another two years.
"Okay, I know you're happy, let's continue!" Jing Shaoyu said to Red Jade with a smile, and then they continued to move forward.
At the same time, in the Spirit Pagoda's master's office on the top floor, the Red-haired Woman who had appeared here three years ago was here again. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Jing Shaoyu in the picture, her alluring lips slightly parted, as if whispering.
Her eyes flickered with elusive brilliance.
Outside the office, Ji Changming, who was waiting respectfully, was expressionless, but the confusion in the depths of his eyes was obvious. He really didn't understand what that Majesty inside was thinking.
The new book is just a seedling and needs care! Seeking investment, monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets! Thank you, everyone!
