A muffled rumble of thunder followed.
Nottingham College is facing its darkest moment in history.
Yu Xiaogang, renowned for his unparalleled theories on martial spirits and revered as a master in the world of spirit masters, has announced an indefinite period of seclusion.
Notting Academy losing its guest elder Yu Xiaogang is like the Soul Master world losing the theory of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls.
It may seem like it has no impact, and in reality, it does.
At the behest of the Soul Sect Dean, Notting Academy quickly returned to calm.
Not only that, he also helped Yu Xiaogang return two hundred gold soul coins.
During this month, Xu Yuan was not idle either.
He first went to a blacksmith to have a spear made, and then consulted the teachers at Notting College for spear techniques.
During this period, his soul power also naturally broke through to level fourteen.
“Xu Yuan, aren’t you a support-type Soul Master?”
Why waste time learning such complicated marksmanship?
Xiao Wu sat on the edge of the flower bed and asked in confusion.
“It’s precisely because I’m a support-type Soul Master that I need to practice spear techniques.”
“Otherwise, wouldn’t I become a sitting duck on the battlefield?”
Xu Yuan brandished his iron spear and thrust it forward, following the method taught by his teachers at the academy.
Actually, that’s not the truth.
The real reason Xu Yuan practiced spear techniques was because of his second martial soul.
After refining the Golden Sacred Dragon’s essence, Xu Yuan did not obtain the Golden Sacred Dragon Beast Martial Soul he had imagined.
Instead, the Holy Dragon Origin first merged with the Martial Soul Imprint in Xu Yuan’s bloodline, ultimately giving birth to the Holy Dragon Spear Martial Soul.
The Holy Light Dragon Spear is of the highest quality, reaching the level of a top-tier weapon spirit.
The soul of a Holy Light Dragon resides within the spear!
Perhaps influenced by the detached martial soul Luo Sanpao, this Holy Dragon of Light was able to materialize directly!
It’s as if Xu Yuan suddenly gained an extra detached martial soul!
What shocked Xu Yuan the most was that this Holy Light Dragon could transform between reality and illusion.
In its physical state, it was a detached martial soul, while in its illusory state, it could possess a beast martial soul!
“When I use the Holy Light Dragon Martial Soul to possess the body, I can also wield the Holy Light Dragon Spear and receive two amplifications at the same time!”
Xu Yuan’s lips curled up slightly.
Just as he was practicing his marksmanship, Tang San suddenly walked over.
“Xu Yuan, your Wishing Tree Martial Soul, you haven’t used your wishing slots for this month yet, right?”
Tang San had a money pouch hanging from his waist, clearly indicating that he had come for a chance to make a wish.
After what happened with Yu Xiaogang, Tang San still dared to make a wish to the Wishing Tree Martial Soul.
Was he crazy?
“Little Sanzi, did you lose your mind because of Master Yu Xiaogang’s first soul skill?”
“Didn’t you see how your teacher was last month…?”
Xiao Wu didn’t continue speaking, but the expression on her face showed that it was a very complicated situation.
“Yes, Tang San, why don’t you reconsider?”
Wang Sheng, who was walking out of the dormitory, happened to see this scene.
Thinking about how difficult it was for work-study students, he couldn’t help but worry.
“It’s alright!”
“Since I dared to come and make a wish, I am naturally prepared to pay any price!”
Tang San waved his hand, not taking their words to heart.
This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a long-planned scheme.
“hehe…”
Do you really think that teachers will be discouraged after encountering setbacks?
“That’s just the idea of those mediocre people from Notting Academy!”
Looking at Wang Sheng’s worried expression, Tang San sneered inwardly.
Little did he know, his teacher had already moved on from the shadows and had thoroughly reviewed the wish he had made last time.
Finally, an astonishing fact was discovered!
That’s the price for the Wishing Tree Martial Soul to grant wishes; it’s not as exaggerated as they imagined!
The reason why it seemed so tragic to others was mainly because the teacher’s martial soul had undergone a malignant mutation.
What if the teacher’s martial spirit wasn’t a pig, and his soul skill wasn’t farting, but a dragon or a lion?
So the price that the teacher has to pay is actually only one from beginning to end: being separated from the body and then possessed!
Can the transformation of a separated martial soul into a possessed martial soul be considered a price to pay?
It’s just that he went from being an outcast to a normal Soul Master.
Xu Yuan was naturally unaware of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang’s thoughts.
However, he felt this was a rare opportunity.
Although they obtained a second martial soul from Yu Xiaogang, the price he paid was far too high.
This made other teachers and students in the college afraid to come and make wishes.
If Tang San doesn’t pay a high price, it can be used for publicity.
“It’s rare that you’re the only one in the entire academy who trusts me like this!”
“Considering we’re all work-study students in Dormitory 7, just give us a little something as a token of your appreciation.”
Xu Yuan did not make an exorbitant demand of Tang San.
If it were at the beginning of the school year, he could have guessed that he probably wanted to make a wish to break through the bottleneck of the first level of the Xuan Tian Gong.
But now that Tang San has finished his Soul Hunting, the bottleneck of the Mysterious Heaven Skill is no longer a problem.
What other wishes could he possibly have?
Xu Yuan thought for a long time, but still came up with nothing.
“Since that’s the case…”
Tang San hesitated.
He weighed the money bag in his hand; it contained his teacher’s life savings.
“Hey Tang San, can you please stop being so fussy!”
“Even a support-type Soul Master like Xu Yuan is much more decisive than you!”
Xiao Wu, always eager for excitement, fanned the flames and egged on from the sidelines.
“Oh well, the money’s gone, I’ll just earn it back.”
“Anyway, the teacher has already broken through to the Soul Master level and can receive a Soul Master subsidy of one hundred gold soul coins every month.”
Not wanting to lose face in front of Xiao Wu, Tang San took out half of the gold soul coins, about fifty in total.
“So, are you going to make a wish now?”
Xu Yuan put away the fifty gold soul coins, stood his spear upright on the ground, and turned to look at Tang San.
“certainly!”
Tang San nodded without hesitation.
There’s nothing he can do about being in such a hurry.
During this month, Tang San kept trying to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye, which caused his eyesight to deteriorate rapidly.
Although it hasn’t reached the point of blindness, it has already affected normal vision.
Sometimes, even when he has just woken up, a thin layer of gray mist will cover his eyes.
Now, the only hope lies in Xu Yuan’s Wishing Tree Martial Soul.
As Xu Yuan waved his hand, the radiant wishing tree that had caused Yu Xiaogang to lose face reappeared.
Xu Yuan walked to the side and gestured for Tang San to make a wish.
Looking at the Wishing Tree Martial Soul, which possessed power comparable to that of a god, Tang San was filled with mixed emotions.
Why can’t I have such a martial spirit?
“Never mind, I already have twin martial souls!”
“According to the teacher, support-type Soul Masters cultivate slowly and lack offensive power, so Xu Yuan will never become a true powerhouse in his lifetime!”
Tang San adjusted his mindset and walked up to the wishing tree.
“I hope to restore my eyes to their original state, before they were eroded by the venom of the datura snake!”
