The Master introduced, "Xiao Yu, Xiao San, this is the helper I called for. You can call him Dean Flande."
"Hello, Dean Flande."
Ye Yu and Tang San both bowed respectfully.
The Master said, "Flande is a Level 78 Agile Attack Type Soul Saint, capable of handling Nine-Thousand-Year-Level Soul Beasts." (There was an error at the end of the last chapter; it's Soul Saint, not Soul Douluo. Tomorrow, there will be four updates as an apology.)
Ye Yu nodded, not really surprised, as he had recognized Flande upon seeing him and knew he was a Soul Saint. Furthermore, he is the founder of Shrek Academy and the current dean of the academy.
Tang San exclaimed in surprise, "Soul Saint?!"
Tang San looked at the Master with amazement, surprised that the Master could invite a Soul Saint; that's incredible.
Flande scrutinized Tang San and Ye Yu, and confirmed with the Master, "Xiao Gang, are you sure you want me to help him hunt down a thousand-year or even a nine-thousand-year Soul Beast?"
When Flande received the Master's letter, he found it hard to believe that he was being asked to help a six-year-old child obtain a Soul Ring.
At that time, Flande was astonished. Helping a six-year-old child obtain their first Soul Ring and requiring a Soul Saint level like himself to intervene seemed overly excessive.
When he saw later that he not only needed to help hunt for the first Soul Ring but also a second, and that the second needed to reach nine thousand years!
Flande was stunned for a moment, wondering if Xiao Gang was playing a joke on him.
Flande looked at Ye Yu and exclaimed, "Xiao Gang, is this the child you said has Innate Full Soul Power at level thirty?"
"Yes," the Master nodded.
Flande stared at Ye Yu in surprise, while Tang San was somewhat ignored.
Tang San also had Innate Full Soul Power, which is extremely rare. Normally, he would be the center of attention, but unfortunately, there was someone even more extraordinary with Innate Full Soul Power at level thirty.
The Master was initially shocked and couldn't believe what Ye Yu said, let alone Flande. Even now, the Master was a bit worried whether Ye Yu could withstand a Nine-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
"Let's talk as we walk," the Master took the lead into the Soul Hunting Forest.
Once inside the forest, they weren't in a hurry to go forward, and the Master reminded Flande.
"Remember what I said before: when hunting Soul Beasts for Xiao Yu, you must ravage them with all your strength, the harder, the better. Through my research, there are two situations where a Soul Beast's death is beneficial for a Soul Master in absorbing the Soul Ring. One is when the Soul Beast is full of extreme resentment, and the other is when the Soul Beast gives up hope of living and voluntarily succumbs to death."
Flande understood, "So, you want me to be heavy-handed, so the Soul Beast wants to be killed quickly for relief."
Flande laughed and teased, "Xiao Gang, for this kind of thing, you should find..."
Whatever Flande wanted to say, the Master naturally knew, with a glint of helplessness and sorrow in his eyes, he frowned and said, "Don't say it."
"Ah," Flande sighed, not continuing.
Tang San thought, "It seems the teacher has something very heavy on his mind."
Ye Yu naturally knew who Flande was referring to, but the Master couldn't find her now.
The Master continued, "These two situations not only allow for the perfect absorption of a Soul Ring but have no limit on the years and have an almost one hundred percent chance to drop a Soul Bone."
Tang San was surprised, "Then, if a thousand-year Soul Beast willingly lets us kill it, we could absorb it easily without backlash?"
The Master said, "Xiao San, according to the original plan, you should obtain around a three-hundred-year Soul Ring. Although this is what I say, such an occurrence is nearly impossible. How could a Soul Beast be willing to be killed and absorbed into a Soul Ring? This is idealistically speaking, or practically impossible.
"As for a Soul Beast reaching the peak of resentment, that's also very difficult. To make a Soul Beast reach the peak of resentment, one must do it themselves and not allow any external help; otherwise, it would divide the Soul Beast's resentment. Typically, the Soul Beasts a Soul Master is to hunt need to be stronger than the Soul Master, so hunting a Soul Beast generally requires assistance. For me to ask you to have the optimal combination of Soul Rings, naturally, the Soul Beasts you face must be stronger than yourself."
"Having Flande be heavy-handed is merely to potentially make the Soul Beast give up hope of living, allowing Xiao Yu to absorb it more easily, but in my heart, I still find it very difficult to successfully absorb. After all, the resentment of the Soul Ring still exists, it won't let you easily succeed in absorbing a Soul Ring. Therefore, a thousand-year Soul Ring as the first, in my view, is still impossible, either a nine out of ten chance of dying or... a certain death."
Even though Ye Yu confidently wanted to try before, the Master was always worried, as the risk was too great. A thousand-year Soul Ring as the first, no one had ever done it, and no one had ever dared.
"Xiao Yu, do you still want a thousand-year Soul Ring as your first? Your constitution is unusual; if it were five to six hundred years, perhaps it could be."
Seeing the Master's concern, Ye Yu firmly said, "I want to try. Although the risk is immense, the reward is also great if I succeed. Furthermore, if the first Soul Ring isn't a thousand years, the goal I set for six years later would be very difficult to achieve."
The Master nodded, no longer trying to dissuade him, this was his last time persuading, and in his heart, he could only pray for Xiao Yu's success later.
Flande was curious, "Xiao Yu, what's the goal for six years later?"
Ye Yu's eyes were resolute, "In six years, I intend to hunt a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast!"
"What?" Flande stumbled, unable to stand steady, completely stunned, with a look of disbelief.
"Hunting a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast? This..."
The Master and Tang San weren't too surprised, looking at the shocked and incredulous Flande, they sighed, "We've gotten used to it."
Flande thought it was impossible, "The Master said you're a Support Type Artifact Soul Master; I've never seen a Support Type Artifact Soul Master who can kill a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast at level thirty, not to mention even a three-hundred-year Soul Beast."
The Master said, "You don't understand Xiao Yu; perhaps in the future, he will become the first Combat Support Soul Master, capable of killing Soul Beasts with a single punch."
Flande was astonished, "Since even you think so, then in the future, he will definitely become a Combat Support Soul Master."
"Alright, let's prepare to hunt the Soul Beasts."
The Master felt he and Tang San should take action.
Flande asked, "Xiao Gang, why not let me help you with a three-hundred-year Soul Beast while we're at it?"
The Master shook his head, "No need, if we encounter a three-hundred-year one, I am confident to handle it. You take Xiao Yu further in to look for thousand-year Soul Beasts."
After the Master finished speaking, his slightly dismal eyes brightened up, and he shouted lowly, "Come out, Luo Sanpao."
The Master's hands crossed in front of his chest, two yellow Soul Rings appearing around him, his Soul Power rippling out.
In the next moment, a creature appeared in front of the Master. It looked like a dog but had a body as plump as a pig, with two floppy fan-shaped ears and a pair of deep blue crystal-clear eyes blinking adorably. As it walked, its chubby body swayed side to side, its plump hips swaying left and right, its short legs making its movements quite slow.
Ye Yu thought, if Xiao Wu saw this, she would definitely pick it up immediately because it's just too cute.
Ye Yu thought to himself, "This is the Master's Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao; it really does look a lot like Meng Qi."
