In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

"Dude, the Beast Academy isn't what it used to be!"

Lin Jiayue looked at Lin Hai with an expression that said, "Look at you, you've never seen the world before."

This scene made Lin Hai's hands itch; he really wanted to stick his fingers out on Lin Jiayue's head.

Don't get me wrong, Lin Hai just saw a leaf on Lin Jiayue's hair and wanted to pick it off for her.

However, Lin Hai ultimately did not make a move.

The main issue is that it's done in public, which has a negative impact.

"Brother, what are you trying to do? There's something wrong with your eyes." Lin Jiayue turned around and suddenly saw Lin Hai's eyes. Instantly, she looked at Lin Hai with great vigilance, like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"I'm your brother, what else could I possibly do to you!" Lin Hai suddenly said with a dark expression.

"Your eyes tell me you have ulterior motives, hehehe, I've found out! Don't even think about escaping from me, beautiful Lin Jiayue!" Lin Jiayue became more and more excited as she spoke.

Lin Hai closed his eyes slightly, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his fists were clenched.

"Damn it, I can't hold back anymore!" Lin Hai cried out in his heart.

"Bang!"

"Ouch!" First came a crisp sound, followed by a cry of pain from a young girl.

"What are you doing, bro!" Lin Jiayue looked at Lin Hai with a wronged expression.

"You talk too much!" Lin Hai said in an extremely calm tone, twisting his left wrist around his right wrist.

"Let's go, lead the way, or I can't guarantee anything." Lin Hai turned his gaze to the crowd of people around him, who were looking at him with curiosity.

He then continued, "I can't guarantee that your reputation will be preserved for life."

"Although I don't know what your illustrious name is!" Lin Hai looked at Lin Jiayue with a mocking gaze.

After giving Lin Hai a deep look, Lin Jiayue murmured, "He's changed!"

"This feeling has faded! He's no longer the loving older brother he used to be."

Lin Hai was speechless upon hearing this. Was the second half of her sentence going to bury him alive?

Lin Hai felt a bit exhausted, wondering who had raised Lin Jiayue to be like this. Just seven years! The well-behaved little girl from back then had turned into this.

"Ugh!"

"Don't force your brother to slap you when he's happiest!"

Upon hearing Lin Hai's words, Lin Jiayue was disgruntled and stopped causing trouble.

However, what Lin Hai didn't know was that Lin Jiayue's words were her own unique way of expressing her affection for him!

However, if Lin Hai really knew, he might bluntly say, "You unfilial sister!"

"Let's disperse!" Lin Jiayue waved to the people around her, and they all dispersed with smiles.

Seeing this, Lin Hai also felt that Lin Jiayue had a pretty good reputation in the Beast Academy.

Next, under Lin Jiayue's guidance, Lin Hai began to carefully explore the inner area of ​​the Beast Academy.

However, after traveling for a while, Lin Hai felt that the name "City of Mythical Beasts" was better.

Lin Jiayue took Lin Hai directly to where she was studying.

"Hey, Lin Jiayue, you're back!"

"Xiaowen!" Lin Jiayue exclaimed with delight, then abandoned her older brother and ran towards the girl.

"Didn't you go home? When did you come back?"

"Just yesterday, but you weren't here."

"And who is this?" Wen Xiaowen asked, looking at the handsome Lin Hai, her eyes sparkling.

Wen Xiaowen thought to herself, "So handsome!"

"Hehehe, this is my older brother!"

"Your brother?!?"

"Isn't he that legendary senior?!" Wen Xiaowen covered her mouth and looked at Lin Hai in surprise.

"Hello, I'm Lin Hai. Thank you for taking care of my mischievous little sister!" Lin Hai looked at Wen Xiaowen with a humble expression.

"Hello, Senior Lin Hai!" Wen Xiaowen greeted him hastily and respectfully.

"Jia Yue is a very nice person, and she's been very kind to me at this Beast Academy!"

"Moreover, in this Beast Academy, no one dares to bully Jia Yue; it's always been Jia Yue."

Before Wen Xiaowen could finish speaking, Lin Jiayue stepped forward and covered her mouth.

Lin Jiayue thought to herself, "That was close!"

Lin Hai just smiled and didn't say anything as he watched this scene.

He had already guessed that with the teachers and others looking after her, Lin Jiayue would definitely not be bullied.

However, listening to what Wen Xiaowen hadn't finished saying, Lin Hai realized that there really was such a little tyrant in this Beast Academy!

Lin Hai noticed that Wen Xiaowen was still a little reserved, so he said, "You two chat, I'm going to find the dean."

After saying that, Lin Hai left.

Watching Lin Hai's departing figure, Wen Xiaowen whispered to Lin Jiayue, "Your brother really is just like the rumors say, so handsome!"

"Of course, with a beautiful sister like me, how could my brother be anything less?" Lin Jiayue said proudly, like a little peacock.

After Lin Hai left, his destination was clear: with his mental detection, he directly located Meng Shu's location.

And so, to the astonishment of the others, Lin Hai vanished from the spot.

The next moment, in Meng Shu's office, the space rippled.

Sensing the spatial fluctuations, Meng Shu frowned, looking ahead with an extremely serious expression, and his Martial Soul Sea Dragon Staff appeared in his hand.

"Teacher~"

Before the person arrived, their voice preceded their arrival.

Lin Hai's familiar voice caused Meng Shu to momentarily lose his composure.

He then recovered, but his eyes slowly widened.

Because not far in front of him, the space had been completely torn open, and half of Lin Hai's body stepped out of the spatial gate.

Meng Shu looked at the extremely familiar figure, and the surprise in his eyes slowly faded. "Xiao Hai?"

"It's me, teacher! Long time no see!!"

"It really is you, hehehe, come, sit down."

After confirming it was Lin Hai, Meng Shu was very happy. His prized student had been away training for seven or eight years in the blink of an eye, so it was impossible not to worry.

"Would you be interested in telling the teacher what you've been through all these years?" Meng Shu asked after Meng Shu and Lin Hai took their seats.

"."

These were all familiar old sayings, which Lin Hai had explained to Qian Renxue before, so he continued to say them in the same familiar way this time.

"It seems you've had a very fulfilling life these past few years!"

"However, I never expected that there is another continent beyond our land."

"Of course, not many people have your ability."

"It's good that you came back safely." Even though Lin Hai didn't mention the threats at sea, Meng Shu had ventured into the sea to obtain his ninth spirit ring, so he was quite aware of the dangers there.

"Teacher, I think our initial idea of ​​supporting the development of soul tools was correct. Look at that other continent, soul tools are almost becoming as mainstream as soul masters."

"I'm afraid that after some time, when their soul tool technology becomes more advanced, soul masters will be able to wield soul tools with even greater power."

"Yes! Actually, even now, I've come to see the value of soul tools."

"Even though soul tools showed great power during the war between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Heaven Star Empire, they were still no big deal in the eyes of powerful soul masters. They still looked down on soul tools."

"I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me. Back then, I didn't value soul tools much either. The reason we have the current soul tool area after the academy's relocation is partly because of you, and partly because of His Majesty the Emperor's investment and support."

"His Majesty the Emperor is a visionary; he values ​​the war potential of soul tools," Lin Hai affirmed.

"That's right. Later, Lou Gao and his group continued to research soul tools based on the data you left behind, and after they were successfully made, they conducted a series of tests in the academy."

"It was only then that I realized that a Soul Master's strength could indeed increase exponentially after being equipped with a Soul Tool."

"Of course, that's not the most convincing reason for me," Meng Shu said, standing up.

"Xiao Hai, do you remember one point mentioned in the Soul Guidance Book you left behind? That is, there is a special type of protective soul tool among soul tools."

"Such defensive soul tools are extremely difficult to manufacture."

"Teacher, are you perhaps referring to a soul-guided device for mental defense?"

"I remember that such soul tools require very precious materials."

"What? You guys actually made it?"

"That old guy Lou Gao is something else. Using the information you left behind as a blueprint, he used his connections to find the materials."

"And then, he succeeded."

That was several years ago.

"Of course, that's not the most important thing."

"Most importantly, this mental defense soul tool can help soul masters resist the impact of the remnant spirit of soul beasts when absorbing soul rings."

"So..." Lin Hai had an idea in his mind.

"That's right, it can help Soul Masters absorb Soul Beasts of a higher age."

"So of course I left you a sentence, and you turned it into reality!" Lin Hai's expression turned a little strange.

Lin Hai recalled the past, when he was full of vigor and had many bold ideas about soul tools, including one about a soul tool for mental defense.

Lin Hai's initial guess was that the Soul Guidance Device for Mental Defense could withstand the mental attacks of mental powerhouses and enhance one's own resistance to mental attacks.

However, such mental defense soul tools are only available to Soul Douluo-level powerhouses. But these powerhouses have rigid mindsets. Either they have already reached the Title Douluo level and no longer need to consider soul rings, or they are Soul Douluo-level powerhouses who have not even realized that mental defense soul tools can increase the number of years they can absorb soul rings.

Of course, once a powerhouse reaches the level of a Soul Douluo, a nine-ringed expert can basically absorb a 100,000-year soul ring, but there aren't that many 100,000-year soul rings available for them to obtain.

Therefore, the fact that the spirit defense soul tool can help soul masters absorb high-age soul rings has not been widely discovered.

Lin Hai's sudden idea was discovered by Lou Gao and others. In this era when soul tool technology was just emerging, it was necessary to keep trying to verify some conjectures.

Thus, Lin Hai's idea was validated by the times.

"Then, teacher, has our academy produced a student who reached the second ring in a thousand years?" Lin Hai asked Meng Shu.

Meng Shu nodded.

"Hiss~" The second ring of the millennium is terrifying.

"Could it be Jia Yue?" Lin Hai asked.

If it really is Lin Jiayue, then this conclusion is not so accurate, because Lin Jiayue was fed immortal ingredients by Lin Hai!

"Jia Yue is indeed a good girl; she's one of them."

"Our college made thorough preparations to verify this hypothesis."

"It's such a stroke of luck that our academy has produced such outstanding talents!"

Fortunately, Meng Shu was unaware of the multiple meanings of "Sleeping Dragon" and "Young Phoenix," otherwise he would have given Lin Hai a disdainful look.

"Our college is truly on the right track and is getting closer and closer to our original vision."

"To build it into the number one advanced soul master academy on the continent."

"Hehehe."

"Does that old poisoner know you're back?"

"I haven't seen the old poisoner since I came back!" Lin Hai shook his head.

"Then forget it, he's not here these days." Meng Shu shook his head.

"Oh? The old poisoner isn't here?" Lin Hai asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, he has some things to take care of and has been gone for a while," Meng Shu replied.

"What else could he possibly be doing?" Lin Hai said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Lin Hai and Meng Shu went out. Meng Shu planned to take Lin Hai to see the other changes in the academy. As they walked along the academy's corridors, feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar atmosphere, a sense of emotion welled up in their hearts.

"Time flies so fast, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye," Lin Hai thought to himself.

He arrived at the academy's training ground and saw a group of young students diligently practicing. Their faces radiated youthful energy and were full of hope and anticipation for the future.

"This is the future of the academy," Lin Hai thought to himself, a relieved smile on his face.

"Hey! That guy's actually here?"

Meng Shu followed Lin Hai's gaze and exclaimed, "Xiao Tian! Hehehe!"

"He's a teacher at our college now!" Meng Shu exclaimed.

Feng Xiaotian keenly sensed that someone was watching him. He turned his head to look in the direction where Lin Hai and Meng Shu were, and then he froze.

"Instructor Feng, what should we do next?" a trainee asked Feng Xiaotian in the training field.

"Instructor Feng?" the trainees called out again.

"Oh, oh, oh! Now it's free time."

"Yay!" The students were very happy after hearing this.

Feng Xiaotian had no interest in continuing to pay attention to them. After the students left, Feng Xiaotian quickly went to Lin Hai and Meng Shu's side.

He addressed Meng Shu as "Dean" and then looked at Lin Hai.

"Is that you?"

"Who else could it be but me!" Lin Hai said with a smile.

"Hahaha, good heavens, after all these years, you're still the same, so annoying!" (End of Chapter)
