(If there were any age discrepancies in the previous text, please point them out! Thank you, dear readers!!!) Since her spirit ring's age increased, Chen Qingling instantly lost all interest in spirit master duels. She was eager to obtain her second spirit ring.
"Qingling Sister! Qingling Sister!"
"Huh?!"
The calls pulled Chen Qingling's thoughts back. "What's wrong? Xiao Wu?"
Xiao Wu pouted, looking wronged. "Qingling Sister, what were you thinking about? You were so engrossed, I had to call you several times before you snapped out of it."
Chen Qingling touched the rabbit ears on Xiao Wu's forehead. "What? Are you angry?"
The most sensitive rabbit ears were touched, making Xiao Wu's whole body go soft and a blush creep onto her pretty face.
"Qingling Sister… can you please not touch my rabbit ears."
"Xiao Wu, why is your face suddenly red?"
Chen Qingling looked at Xiao Wu, then at her rabbit ears, and only then realized.
"Oh right, I almost forgot Xiao Wu, your Martial Soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit…"
"No, you haven't even manifested your Martial Soul, aren't those rabbit ears just your accessories?"
Xiao Wu gritted her teeth. There were too many people around, so she definitely couldn't explain clearly here.
"Qingling Sister… I'm fine, maybe it's just hot because there are too many people."
"That's good then." Chen Qingling foolishly didn't overthink it.
On the other side, Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, was filled with shock and couldn't recover for a long time.
"Who exactly is her father?"
"To actually have a method to increase spirit ring age? An inconspicuous pill, increasing the spirit ring age by five hundred years, it's too unbelievable."
The more Tang Hao saw, the more curious he became about Chen Qingling's background.
She clearly had a good background, so why was she in this border town?
Tang Hao racked his brain but couldn't understand, couldn't figure it out, absolutely couldn't.
A small border town gathered two people with terrifying backgrounds and innate full spirit power. How frightening that would be if word got out.
Tang Hao's expression was solemn, and he felt at ease with Tang San losing to Chen Qingling.
Backed by an unfathomable and peerless expert, sending items through the air, with all sorts of tricks emerging endlessly.
Chen Qingling was no less capable than her son, Tang San, and perhaps even surpassed him.
"Alas, it's a pity that Xiao San's relationship with her is so poor. Otherwise, we could have followed the trail and probed her father's real strength."
Tang Hao was genuinely curious about how powerful Chen Qingling's father truly was.
He strongly suspected her father was a peerless expert who lived detached from worldly affairs.
At Nuoding Academy, the annual Soul Master tournament was still underway.
Soon, it was Xiao Wu's turn to compete.
"Go, Xiao Wu! Don't lose, I'll see you in the finals."
"Don't worry, Sister Qingling, just watch. I absolutely won't lose."
Xiao Wu patted her slightly puffed-out chest, full of confidence.
Except for Chen Qingling, whom she couldn't defeat, she was confident she could win against all other students in the academy.
Actually, there was also Tang San, who liked to fight dirty. If he wasn't careful, she might still trip up.
Of course, if he didn't use hidden weapons, Xiao Wu was confident she could defeat him easily.
After all, she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so she had this much confidence.
Xiao Wu's match began. She crushed her opponent with lightning-fast moves, easily securing victory, which drew cheers from the crowd below.
As Xiao Wu stepped off the stage, Tang San eagerly stepped forward like a lovesick puppy, offering her a towel.
"Xiao Wu, wipe your hands. That person dirtied them just now."
Xiao Wu shot Tang San a cold glance and, without a word, brushed past him and walked to Chen Qingling's side.
She took the towel Chen Qingling offered.
"Hee hee hee, Sister Qingling, you're the best to me!"
Seeing Xiao Wu reject him but accept Chen Qingling, Tang San was furious but quickly adjusted his mindset.
They were both girls, so it was normal. It wasn't a big deal.
Next, it was Chen Qingling's turn to compete, and Xiao Wu cheered her on.
"Sister Qingling! Go for it!"
Chen Qingling hummed in response, strode onto the stage, and activated her Martial Soul.
Her resplendent, multicolored wings, combined with her pure face, created a fusion of two distinct kinds of beauty, making her stunningly attractive.
The cheering students below all fell silent, watching with delight.
Until someone spoke, "So beautiful."
The students present nodded in agreement. She was too beautiful, not like a person at all.
Such a woman should only exist in heaven, rarely seen on earth.
As it happened, Chen Qingling's opponent was Liu Long, whom she had met once before.
Looking at Chen Qingling flying in the air, Liu Long swallowed.
Even his boss treated her with respect, so this match was without suspense.
Before Chen Qingling could make a move, Liu Long raised his hands and said, "I concede."
Chen Qingling: ?!
What!
They hadn't even fought yet!
You're conceding already? Do I have to hear you surrender every time I step onto the stage? Chen Qingling was stunned.
She already had no interest in Soul Master duels, and this incident made it even more boring.
If everyone just surrendered to her, what was the point of her participating?! For the first time, Chen Qingling felt life was meaningless. "How boring."
She turned and walked off the stage to Xiao Wu's side.
Liu Long looked embarrassed, rubbing the back of his head. It seemed he had displeased Chen Qingling.
He was probably going to get a verbal scolding from his boss.
Liu Long gave a dry laugh and looked at the referee, "Um… can I take back what I just said?"
The referee raised an eyebrow. "Get lost."
"Ah, okay, okay." Liu Long shamefully left the stage, realizing he couldn't afford to offend anyone.
Time flew by, and the Soul Master duels continued for three days.
With her solid strength, Chen Qingling defeated senior Wang Dong, who was level twenty-three, to take first place in this competition.
"Senior Wang Dong, thank you for going easy on me," Chen Qingling said, her forehead covered in sweat, a smile on her face.
The previous match was the first difficult battle of her life, and it had been exhilarating.
"My apologies, my apologies. It's finally good that I'm not the first place winner in the Soul Master duel this time. Really, really good."
"I can leave now with no regrets."
"Leave?!" Chen Qingling frowned, "Senior Wang Dong, are you leaving the academy?"
Wang Dong looked up at the clear blue sky. "Yes, I have to leave eventually. I've been stagnating at the academy for a year."
"No matter how much I linger or how reluctant I am, it's time to go."
"Junior Sister Qingling, everyone has their own path to walk. With your talent, you'll be able to go much further than I can."
"I must go."
Chen Qingling nodded slightly, watching Senior Wang Dong leave.
This was the first proper male she had ever met.
At this moment, Wang Sheng sidled over, smacking his lips. "Sister Qingling, Senior Wang Dong was once a legendary figure at Nuoding Academy."
"Oh?! How so?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
"His talent wasn't very good. He only had level two innate soul power. He reached this point step by step through sheer perseverance; he's a disciple from humble beginnings."
"Initially, the aristocratic disciples in the academy completely looked down on him, saying that ten years of hard study couldn't compare to three generations of their efforts."
"Later, he continuously worked hard and cultivated, bringing glory to the academy, and they were conquered by his immense perseverance."
