Peerless Tang Sect: God Emperor Haotian

Ye Sen's physical strength had been personally verified by a powerful figure like Xuanzi, so the entire absorption process was naturally very smooth. Apart from taking a little longer, there were basically no other abnormal reactions.

Soon, Ye Sen successfully absorbed the soul ring from the Azure Bull Python, which was five thousand years old.

As a result, his soul power cultivation level reached level thirty-two.

The only regret is that the Azure Bull Python did not drop a soul bone like the Titan Giant Ape that provided it with its first soul ring.

With Ye Sen successfully absorbing the spirit ring, Shrek Academy and their group, having achieved their goal, immediately led Ye Sen out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Outside the forest, parting is imminent.

Xuanzi looked at Ye Sen and asked in a deep voice, "Have you really decided not to go to Shrek Academy with us?"

"You can achieve much better growth there than at the Dark Water Soul Master Academy."

After seeing the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, Xuanzi had almost given up hope of winning over Ye Sen. However, after learning about Ye Sen's actual relationship with the Clear Sky Sect, his almost abandoned idea was immediately rekindled.

Ye Sen shook his head and said, "I'm only nine and a half years old. Even if I were to go to Shrek Academy, it wouldn't be now. Besides, my younger sister is still waiting for me to return to the Dark Water Soul Master Academy. How can I abandon her and go to Shrek Academy by myself?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi nodded and did not press the matter, saying, "Then let's discuss this matter later. I hope you can make a wise choice then."

Ye Sen nodded without saying anything more.

Indeed, for many people, if they have enough talent, going to Shrek Academy to study is the most correct and wisest choice.

However, this option is not entirely suitable for Yesen.

He has a second martial soul, which is his original body martial soul, so he can have a good future in the Body Sect.

Having mastered the Thousand Forging Technique, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire would be a good place for him. Cooperation between the two parties might even lead to the development of battle armor, a product with heaven-defying combat power.

It's no exaggeration to say that with his qualifications, he could have made great strides and had a lot of room for improvement no matter which side he went to. There's no such thing as the wisest choice.

Zhang Lexuan looked at Ye Sen.

Although they only spent a few days together, the young boy left a very deep impression on her.

Zhang Lexuan said, "Ye Sen, Elder Xuan is right. With your talent, Shrek Academy is the most suitable place for you. I hope we can meet again there."

"it is good."

Ye Sen nodded with a smile.

"Goodbye, Brother Ye Sen. I hope I can eat your barbecue again in the future." Ma Xiaotao also came to say goodbye to Ye Sen.

"There will definitely be an opportunity," Ye Sen replied with a smile.

After saying goodbye, Xuanzi left with Zhang Lexuan and the other two, and the four of them quickly disappeared from Ye Sen's sight.

After watching them leave, Ye Sen followed the route and met up with Li Mu and the others.

Upon learning that Ye Sen had successfully obtained an excellent spirit ring, Li Mu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then they embarked on their journey home.

......

Xuanming City, Mingshui Soul Master Academy.

When Ye Sen returned safely and found Jiang Nannan, she immediately stepped forward and grasped his arm with her delicate hand. Her beautiful, golden, glassy eyes looked him up and down with concern: "Brother Ye Sen, you weren't injured during the Soul Hunt, were you?"

Ye Sen shrugged and laughed, "I'm fine. Look at me, I'm perfectly alright, aren't I?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her tense emotions gradually easing. She then said, "I will also try my best to become a Soul Master as soon as possible. However, based on my current cultivation speed, I'm afraid it will be around the age of eleven before I can become a Soul Master. I wonder if I can complete the breakthrough before entering Shrek Academy."

Ye Sen was taken aback and asked, "You want to go to Shrek Academy?"

"Um."

Jiang Nannan nodded and explained, "Our teacher said that Shrek Academy is the most suitable place for us commoner soul masters without any background to develop."

"Brother Ye Sen, don't you want to go there?"

Recalling the experience in his mind, Ye Sen smiled and said, "No, since you want to go, let's go and see this so-called number one academy on the continent when the time comes."

"Um."

Jiang Nannan nodded with a smile.

Back at the academy, Ye Sen's daily life returned to normal.

Although he had already grasped the essence of hammering and successfully forged a thousand-fold metal, he did not give up forging.

Because, while one may gain insight, it doesn't mean there's no room for improvement in one's hammer intent.

Thousand forging is just the foundation of special forging techniques; there are also spirit forging, soul forging, and even heaven forging.

Thousand-fold forged metal can only produce one-word battle armor, but in the real era of battle armor masters, only those battle armor masters who wear two-word battle armor are recognized by all and are true battle armor masters.

The most important thing in making a set of two-word battle armor is to use spirit-forged spirit metal materials.

In addition to this, there is another very important reason why Ye Sen insists on forging.

That was because both of his martial souls participated in the forging process, and their cooperation unexpectedly led to a higher and higher compatibility between the two martial souls with each forging.

If he continues, he might be able to use his two martial souls to perform a martial soul fusion skill all by himself, just like the Netherworld White Tiger Wu Siduo ten thousand years later.

If he succeeds, he will have another incredibly powerful trump card!

......

Time flies, and a year and a half later.

A corner of the Mingshui Soul Master Academy, a studio.

The crisp, clanging sounds rose and fell in a unique rhythm, like a stirring steel symphony.

Inside the workshop, Ye Sen was sweating profusely as he swung the miniature Haotian Hammer in his hand.

The boy's growth rate was astonishing, and in the past year and a half, Ye Sen's appearance had indeed changed quite a bit.

He still had short black hair, but his height had reached 1.7 meters, not much shorter than an adult. His originally delicate features had also become extremely handsome as he grew up.

Years of training hadn't caused Ye Sen's physique to expand horizontally; in fact, he appeared somewhat thin and slender. Yet, hidden within this seemingly thin and slender body was a terrifying physical strength!

"clang--"

A crisp metallic clang rang out, and the next moment, the light emanating from the dark silver on the forging table, which was enveloped by the furnace fire, almost covered every corner of the workshop.

"Mission accomplished!"

Looking at the dazzling light of the thousand-refined silver, Ye Sen let out a long breath.

After a year and a half of accumulation, he has become more and more proficient in the Thousand Forging Technique, not only greatly improving his success rate, but also advancing towards the realm of Thousand Forging with Spirit.

True forging depends on the Soul Master's comprehension, not on brute force. Otherwise, even in the era of the pinnacle of forging skills ten thousand years later, there wouldn't have been only one master craftsman.

It is precisely for this reason that Ye Sen was able to go further and further on this path without the guidance of a teacher, relying solely on his own exploration, thanks to his amazing comprehension.
