Peerless Tang Sect: God Emperor Haotian

Faced with Jiang Nannan's question, Ye Sen smiled and pointed to the pit next to him.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Nannan's golden, glassy eyes widened instantly, and she asked incredulously, "Brother Ye Sen, did you do this?"

"Um."

Ye Sen smiled and nodded.

Jiang Nannan glanced again at the huge, ravaged crater in the wasteland and asked in astonishment, "With such destructive power, could it be that you've broken through to the Soul Sect realm?"

No, not at all.

Ye Sen shook his head.

Although this age is the golden period for Soul Masters to cultivate, in a year and a half, he only increased his Soul Power by about six levels. Now his Soul Power is level thirty-eight, which is still a little distance from the Soul Master realm.

If he hadn't focused his energy on forging, his current realm might have been closer to that of the Soul Master.

Ye Sen was well aware that forging was just as important to him as improving his cultivation level. He couldn't afford to give up or even slack off in the slightest.

"That is..."

Jiang Nannan pressed for an answer, puzzled.

Ye Sen said in a low voice, "I created a soul skill that is very powerful, but it consumes a lot of energy, which is why I fell into a deep sleep after using it. I will show it to you when I have the chance in the future."

"A self-created soul skill?"

Jiang Nannan looked surprised for a moment, but quickly came to her senses.

As her childhood sweetheart, she knew how outstanding Ye Sen was. Although his self-created soul skill sounded unbelievable, it wasn't that hard to understand if it was applied to Ye Sen.

"Um."

Jiang Nannan nodded slightly and said, "Yesterday, Grandpa Dean got the recommendation letter for going to Shrek Academy from the City Lord."

As she spoke, Jiang Nannan took out two envelopes from her storage soul tool.

Ye Sen glanced at it and said, "Keep it safe. The annual enrollment season for Shrek Academy is not far away. Let's go find Grandpa Dean now to discuss when to set off, and also help you solve the problem of your spirit ring."

After more than a year of diligent training, Jiang Nannan finally reached level 30 in soul power half a month ago.

Reaching level 30 at eleven years old—while not as fast as his, this doesn't negate Jiang Nannan's excellence. In fact, among Soul Masters of the same age, Jiang Nannan's cultivation rate is already considered very fast.

Jiang Nannan never objected to Ye Sen's suggestion, and the two immediately went to the dean's office.

After learning of Ye Sen's purpose, Li Mu nodded slightly and said with some worry, "Then let's set off tomorrow. The academy has been quite unsettled lately, so it's better if you leave sooner rather than later."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan immediately glanced at Ye Sen discreetly.

Ye Sen hesitated for a moment before asking, "Grandpa Dean, are you worried about what happened in the wasteland?"

"Um."

Li Mu nodded.

Ye Sen said, "Actually, you don't need to worry. I was the one who did it."

"Did you do this?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu's eyes widened immediately.

On the day the incident occurred in the wasteland, Ye Sen fell into a long coma. He had his doubts about Ye Sen, but when he thought of Ye Sen's cultivation level, he dismissed them.

Although Ye Sen is a genius, he is only a Soul Master after all. How could he possibly unleash such a powerful attack?

To his surprise, his initial suspicions were correct; the matter was indeed related to Ye Sen!

Having spent several years together, Ye Sen had complete trust in Li Mu, so he didn't hide anything from him, saying, "Grandpa Dean, I recently created a soul skill and tested its power over there, and that's about it."

"A self-created soul skill?"

Li Mu immediately showed an incredulous expression, and after a long while, he couldn't help but ask, "You're always tinkering and meditating in my studio, where do you find the time to create your own soul skills?"

Ye Sen smiled and explained, "Grandpa Dean, after all this time, haven't you realized I'm a genius?"

Li Mu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and scolded, "You brat, you really don't know how to be modest. Go back and pack your things, then go home and say hello to your family. We're leaving tomorrow."

"Speaking of which, with your cultivation levels, you should have graduated long ago."

Upon hearing the word "graduation," Ye Sen and Jiang Nannan couldn't help but feel a little emotional. After all, it was a place they had lived in for five years, and they had feelings for it no matter what.

"Um."

Ye Sen took a deep breath and nodded seriously.

After returning to their dormitory and packing their belongings, the two left the academy and returned to their village.

In the evening, the two families gathered together.

Upon learning that Ye Sen and Jiang Nannan were about to travel to Shrek Academy, which was thousands of miles away, Ye Sen's grandmother and Jiang Nannan's mother, as parents, couldn't help but show worried expressions.

Despite their concerns, the two were well aware that in order to ensure their exceptional talents were not wasted, Ye Sen and Jiang Nannan had to venture out into the wider world to grow and progress.

Jiang's mother looked at Ye Sen, her expression revealing a deep meaning, and said, "Go ahead, you are all promising children. Xiao Sen, I'll leave Nan Nan in your care."

Ye Sen glanced at Jiang Nannan and assured her, "Aunt Shen, you can rest assured. No matter where we are, I will not let Nannan be bullied by anyone."

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, Jiang Nannan, who was standing to the side, also raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile with a sense of happiness.

Ye Lin looked at this scene and seemed to remember something, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

The next morning, before the two returned to the academy, Li Mu took a carriage to the village.

After bidding farewell to Jiang Nannan, her family, and the villagers, Ye Sen boarded the carriage, and the three of them set off together for the Star Dou Great Forest.

……

Starry Sky Forest, Mixed Zone.

Since Jiang Nannan did not absorb a spirit ring beyond her level, Dean Li Mu did not seek help this time. He was confident that he could handle ordinary thousand-year-old spirit beasts.

They were extremely lucky this time; they found a soul beast that was suitable for Jiang Nannan shortly after entering the mixed zone.

This is a leopard-type spirit beast, over two meters long. Although it is not as robust as a lion or tiger-type spirit beast, its sharp fangs and fierce eyes still make it look extremely intimidating.

Its streamlined body proves that it excels at speed.

"The Thousand-Year Thunder Leopard is one of the best choices for agility-type Soul Masters," Li Mu said after examining the Soul Beast.

Ye Sen said, "Grandpa Dean, let's go together. This guy is good at speed, let's not let it get away."

After a moment's thought, Li Mu nodded. Ye Sen was no longer the child who needed his protection; he was capable of fighting against a thousand-year-old soul beast.

"Nannan, be careful. I'm going with Grandpa Dean," Ye Sen instructed Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan's first soul skill is teleportation, and her second soul skill is clone. Both of these soul skills have the ability to protect her life. As long as she pays a little attention, she can protect herself.

"Mm." Jiang Nannan nodded.

After deciding on the tactics, Ye Sen and Li Mu immediately attacked from the left and right.

Three soul rings, one yellow and two purple, rose up, and the Clear Sky Hammer, radiating a dark light, instantly appeared in Ye Sen's hand.

On the other side, Li Mu also took out his silver warhammer. As a cannon barrel flipped out from his shoulder, before he even arrived, a long-range shell had already blasted towards the Millennium Thunder Leopard.

War is imminent!
