After returning to the academy, Tang Yin went toward this dorm and found it empty as everyone had gone to class. He took out his clean clothes and went to the shared bathroom. Since everyone had gone to their class, the bathroom was empty. After bathing, he went to the spirit hall branch to update his information in his soul master badge. After entering the spirit hall, he met the old man who had evaluated him before.
"Oh, you have come, young man. So how was it? Did you get your desired soul ring?"
"Yes, senior, I have obtained the suitable soul ring. So I came here to update my soul master status to qualify for the subsidies." Tang Yin spoke, handing his soul badge to the old man.
"Ok, then let's check your soul power level. According to the normal increase, it should be 11 levels." He said, handing the crystal ball to Tang Yin.
As Tang Yin placed his hand on the crystal ball, the 12th part of the crystal ball shone with brightness, indicating that his soul power had reached the 12th level. When the old man saw that his soul power level had reached 12th level, he had a shocked expression on his face.
"No way, normally it should have been 11th level, why is it 2nd level. Young man, which soul beast did you hunt for your 1st ring?" the old man asked Tang Yin with a curious gaze.
"Senior, I got my first soul ring from a 400-year-old star-raining willow tree. As my martial soul was a plant species so I used a plant soul beast to strengthen my soul." Tang Yin answered, hiding his abnormal 530-year-old soul ring, fearing to implicate himself.
"So it is rare 400-year-old star-rain willow soul beast. Your luck is very good to find the star-rain willow in the hunting ground. It also explains the abnormal soul power growth of yours. Ok, from now on, you are a qualified 12-level soul master. From next month, you will get the soul master subsidy of 1 gold coin per month. And from soul grandmaster level, it will be 10 gold coins, and soul elder will be 100 coins. So work hard, young man." The old man said to Tang Yin, handing him his upgraded soul badge, encouraging him to work hard.
Tang Yin greeted and left the soul hall. On the way to the academy, he bought some snacks for his roommates. Upon seeing Tang Yin in the dorm, the boys congratulated him after finding that he had obtained his soul ring. Tang Yin, seeing that all were here, divided the snacks and gave it to them. Seeing that Tang Yin had brought them snacks, they happily took them and thanked him.
After obtaining his first soul ring, his life returned to normal again. He would get up early in the morning. Go to the back of the morning and meditate, surrounding himself in the field of blue silver plant. After some time, he would return to eat breakfast, go to class then train his body by wearing the heavy iron bracelets on his body. Carrying a heavy weight in his body. Then at night, he would again meditate near the window, basking in the power of the moon and stars.
After he had obtained his soul ring from the star-raining willow, his blue silver grass had started to undergo small changes every time he cultivated in the moon, and starlight subtly transformed his blue silver grass to look more and more like it. It also caused his cultivation speed to increase rapidly.
2 years later,
The rays of the light had shone again in the woods. When the light of the sun fell on the sea of blue silver grass, the scene was breathtaking. The light reflected from the blue silver grass made the air look like it was colored by blue with silver sparks flowing everywhere. In the very centre of the sea of blue silver grass, a young man was meditating surrounded by ten mutated blue silver grass. Behind him stood an illusory figure of his martial soul that looked 70-80% similar to the star-rain willow. With its leaf hanging like a willow from which sparts of blue silver were falling on the ground as if the river of stars were flowing. Its ranches and trunk were of jade with a silver vein in them. The leaf flowing with the wind gives it a graceful movement. The tree was overflowing with a gentle and noble aura.
The blue silver grass of the place had also undergone various changes. Most importantly, more than 50% of the total blue silver grass had become soul beasts at ten years of age. The blue silver grass had grown vigorously in the surrounding land. The innermost 10 blue silver grass had undergone the most change. Under the continuous and dense aurora of Tang Yin's blue silver tree, originally, the delicate steam and dull leaves of these blue silver grass had become more translucent and crystal-like. With the silver vein in them more prominent. Clearly indicating that they had undergone mutation and had evolved.
As the light of the sun got more intense, Tang Yin opened his eyes. His crystal blue eyes were like a deep and ancient ice; when light fell on them, they looked even more beautiful. Today, Tang Yin turned 8 years old and has reached 20 level. As he stood up, his tall body looked like a body of a 14-year-old with 165 cm. his body had shed the previous look of cuteness and gained a handsome face and posture. He took the 10 mutated blue silver grass and kept them in a box as he was graduating from the academy today.
As he returned to the academy, his already packed belongings were placed on his bed in the empty room. His friends had already come to say their goodbyes one after another when he went to the principal's office to get his certificate yesterday.
