Peerless Tang Sect: God Emperor Haotian

Ye Sen tried to remain calm and suggested, "Grandpa Dean, I'd like to wait until Nan Nan reaches level ten soul power before we go to acquire the soul ring together. She has innate soul power level nine, so reaching level ten shouldn't take her long. This will save you time and prevent you from making two trips."

Upon hearing this, Li Mu was taken aback for a moment, but after realizing what he meant, he immediately smiled and said, "Your idea is not bad, so let's do it your way."

Ye Sen was unaware that his unintentional remark had inadvertently dispelled some of Li Mu's doubts.

The worst thing about investing is not getting a return. If resources are used to feed an ungrateful person, then you will lose everything.

Ye Sen's kindness towards his sister, to whom he has no blood relation, suggests he is a sentimental person. Such a person is unlikely to be ungrateful, so as the dean, he can invest with peace of mind.

......

Looking across the continent, the Dark Water Soul Master Academy cannot be considered a top-tier Soul Master Academy, because it is not qualified to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament held every five years.

The academy has only a junior division and an intermediate division. The junior division is for those below the first ring, and the intermediate division is for those above the first ring. The graduation requirement is to become a second-ring Great Soul Master. At that time, one can either stay at the academy to continue studying or go to other advanced Soul Master academies for further training.

Upon arriving at the Darkwater Soul Master Academy, Li Mu personally helped Ye Sen and Jiang Nannan complete their registration. He then gave each of them a badge, explaining, "This badge represents elite students; you can eat for free in the cafeteria with this badge."

Ye Sen glanced at the badge, which was indeed the emblem of the Darkwater Soul Master Academy, and asked, "Grandpa Dean, does this badge come with any other benefits?"

Li Mu shook his head and replied, "No, this badge only exempts you from tuition and some miscellaneous fees. Only students with innate soul power of level five or above can obtain it. Among the more than three hundred students in our academy, including you, there are no more than five people who possess the elite student badge."

"Oh." Ye Sen nodded, not too disappointed. He already had a general understanding of the strength of the Dark Water Soul Master Academy, so he naturally didn't really expect Li Mu to bring out any rare treasures for him.

But just then, Li Mu suddenly added, "Xiao Sen, you are the first genius student in our academy with innate full soul power. As the dean, I will find a way to get you some extra benefits. Also, don't go around telling everyone that you have innate full soul power, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble."

"Okay," Ye Sen readily agreed.

The dormitories for the junior section of the Mingshui Soul Master Academy are four-person rooms, while those for the intermediate section are two-person rooms.

As elite students, Ye Sen and Jiang Nannan were each given a private single dormitory room. Li Mu first showed them around the academy and then taught them how Soul Masters should meditate before leaving.

After mastering the method of meditation, Ye Sen and Jiang Nannan immediately began to try it.

On his first attempt, Ye Sen successfully sensed the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. When the first wisp of spiritual energy was absorbed into his body and became nourishment for improving his cultivation during the refining process, it also meant that he had officially begun his path of cultivation.

Jiang Nannan didn't successfully complete her first meditation until the next day.

Ultimately, there are differences in people's level of understanding.

Time passed day by day.

The main focus of teaching in the primary school freshmen is knowledge instruction. To become an excellent Soul Master, one must first understand Soul Masters and Martial Souls.

Despite his identity as a transmigrator, Ye Sen maintained a very upright and devout attitude. With the mindset of a beginner, he listened attentively in class and diligently meditated and cultivated after class. He hardly wasted any time on meaningless things, and in this state, three months passed quickly.

After three months of meditation and cultivation, Jiang Nannan finally broke through the bottleneck and reached level ten in soul power.

After agreeing on a time with Li Mu to set off to obtain the soul ring, on the night before departure, Li Mu suddenly sought out Ye Sen alone.

"Grandpa Dean?"

Upon opening the door after hearing the knock, Ye Sen's eyes flashed with confusion as he saw Li Mu. Although Li Mu had visited him from time to time, this was the first time he had come at night.

Just as Ye Sen was wondering if something had gone wrong with acquiring the spirit ring, the other party suddenly said, "They said inside I got something good this time that should be of some help to you."

"nice one?"

"Grandpa Dean, what are you saying?"

Ye Sen asked in a subconscious question.

After entering the dormitory, Li Mu suddenly took out a golden, gelatinous substance.

As a transmigrator, Ye Sen was already used to disguising himself. Upon seeing the golden, seemingly glowing gelatinous substance, he feigned confusion, but inwardly he was uncontrollably shaken.

He recognized it at a glance from its features; it was a piece of ancient whale glue.

Li Mu's next words confirmed his guess.

Li Mu said, "This is a piece of millennium whale glue. It not only enhances soul power but also strengthens the body and helps you absorb soul rings of higher age. Once you absorb it, increasing your soul ring limit by two or three hundred years won't be a problem."

Ye Sen feigned surprise: "Grandpa Dean, this is too precious!"

Ye Sen's reaction pleased Li Mu, who smiled and said, "I went to great lengths to get my hands on it; it is indeed very precious. But I've decided to let you use it because you are the most talented student since the academy was founded."

"I've always had a dream: to build the academy into one that can participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. But with my current abilities, I probably can't achieve that. However, I see hope in you. So I hope that in the future, when you have the ability, you could lend the academy a hand?"

"If you agree, this piece of whale glue is yours."

Ye Sen did not hesitate; what he lacked right now was precisely resources like whale glue. As for the conditions proposed by the other party, they wouldn't have been difficult problems for him when he was capable, so any normal person would know what to choose at this point.

"Grandpa Dean, I promise you," Ye Sen said.

"Okay." Li Mu's smile grew even wider, and then he taught Ye Sen how to take the whale gelatin.

"Whale gelatin must be softened at high temperatures before it can be consumed, and there are some side effects after consumption, but that's okay, just soak it in cold water later."

Under the cover of night, Ye Sen followed Li Mu to a special room in the southeast corner of the academy.

It resembled a workshop, filled with various tools, and shelves on one side of the room were neatly arranged with metals of different colors.

Ye Sen's expression shifted, and he asked, "Grandpa Dean, are you perhaps a Soul Master?"

Li Mu nodded and smiled, "You figured it out. That's right, I'm not only a Soul Master, but also a Level 4 Soul Master."

Upon hearing this, Ye Sen suddenly understood. One characteristic of Soul Masters is that they are rich; no wonder the other party was able to acquire a treasure like whale glue.
