"Warm sun shines everywhere, every step is arduous!"
"First Soul Skill: Solar Ring Slow Breath!"
Seeing Yu Yan summon his Spirit, the sturdy boy Luo Fuji unceremoniously took the initiative to release his Spirit Ability.
On the Douluo Continent, some Spirits require specific incantations when releasing Spirit Abilities; Luo Fuji's Spirit clearly belonged to this category.
The yellow spirit ring landed on the Sunflower blooming in Luo Fuji's hand. A burst of blinding sunlight spread from the Sunflower, dazzling the eyes. Within a circular area of over four meters centered on Luo Fuji, many pollen particles emitting red light appeared.
After performing his Spirit Ability, the Control System Spirit Master Luo Fuji swung his arms and charged at Yu Yan like an attack system battle Spirit Master.
Standing within the range of Luo Fuji's Spirit Ability, Yu Yan felt his movements were somewhat restricted when he raised his hand.
But the impact was not significant.
Shaking his arms to gauge his condition, Yu Yan focused his attention on Luo Fuji, who was charging at him. He raised his hand, prepared to give him a punch to make him back off and stop harassing him.
Looking at Yu Yan, who seemed 'unable to move a step' within the range of Solar Ring Slow Breath, the corners of Luo Fuji's mouth curled up slightly; he was in a very good mood.
With this punch, I'll let you know who the number one Genius of the younger generation in Balak City really is.
Thinking this, Luo Fuji pushed his strength to the limit. The veins on his arms bulged, making him look like an attack system battle Spirit Master.
As Luo Fuji drew close, Yu Yan threw a punch against the incoming fist.
The two fists collided, and Luo Fuji's figure was suddenly sent flying back, crashing into his companion Auerbai, and both were knocked to the ground together.
After consuming plenty of Whale Dragon, Yu Yan's physical strength was already comparable to a Three-Ring Soul Venerable. Bullying a First Ring Spirit Master child was child's play.
"The one named Auerbai, if you want to challenge me, then do it quickly. I'm a bit hungry and want to go eat."
Having dealt with Luo Fuji, Yu Yan looked at Auerbai, who was getting up from the ground, and urged him to hurry up and come get beaten.
"No, no, no, I'm not challenging you anymore."
Having seen Luo Fuji sent flying by a single punch from Yu Yan, Auerbai, who couldn't even beat Luo Fuji, waved his hands frantically, renouncing his previous bold words. He didn't want to be sent flying by a punch after charging in.
"Mhm, goodbye."
Having easily dealt with the two little brats blocking the way, Yu Yan and Xiao Wu headed to the dining hall. He was truly hungry and wanted to eat.
The children who had come along with Luo Fuji and Auerbai quickly moved aside to clear the blocked path when they saw Yu Yan and Xiao Wu approaching.
"Luo Fuji, is your hand okay?"
Auerbai looked at Luo Fuji's trembling arm and asked about his condition with concern.
"It's nothing."
Luo Fuji only felt some pain in his arm but wasn't actually injured. At the moment their fists met, he could feel the terrifying power emanating from the other party.
Luo Fuji's strength had been great since childhood. Even attack system Spirit Masters of the same Rank weren't necessarily stronger than him in terms of power; this was his unique tactic.
Who would have thought that one day, he would lose in strength to someone younger and with lower spirit power than him.
This was the gap in intelligence. His Spirit Power Level was Rank 14, and he thought Yu Yan's Spirit Power Level was lower than his.
In reality, it wasn't so.
While in Vast Sea City, Yu Yan's spirit power was already close to Rank 16. On the way back, Yu Yan unsurprisingly made a Breakthrough to Rank 16, and Xiao Wu did the same... In the afternoon, while Yu Yan and Xiao Wu were reading in the Balak Junior Soul Master Academy library, they saw Deans Office Teacher Sun Qian and the rarely seen Balak Junior Soul Master Academy principal, Zhao Hua'ao, appearing before them, accompanied by a middle-aged man in luxurious clothing.
"This is Yu Yan, the owner of that mutated Spirit, the Ice and Fire Twin Fish. The girl next to him is Xiao Wu. Both of them have excellent talent."
Sun Qian smiled as he introduced Yu Yan and Xiao Wu to the luxuriously dressed middle-aged man.
After the introduction, Sun Qian turned to Yu Yan and Xiao Wu and introduced: "Yu Yan, Xiao Wu, this is a teacher from the Balak Advanced Soul Master Academy and also the deputy leader of the Balak Academy team, Rank 54 agility-attack system Spirit King Vice Leader."
Having introduced both parties, Sun Qian stepped aside and stood there in silence.
"Hello."
After greeting them, Vice Leader sat down directly opposite the two.
"Previously, you both joined the Balak Academy Team Member Reserve Plan. I've come today to further discuss and negotiate this matter with you."
After a morning of observation and inquiry, they already had some understanding of Yu Yan's character and temperament.
Therefore, after sitting down, Vice Leader went straight to the point.
Yu Yan had personally agreed to join the Balak Academy Team Member Reserve Plan, so continuing the conversation from there was the best approach.
"I spoke with Teacher Sun Qian before; wasn't the matter already settled?"
Yu Yan had agreed to Teacher Sun Qian's previous proposal, but that didn't mean he would agree to what Vice Leader was about to propose; the two were not the same thing.
The former was the Elementary Spirit Master Academy looking after him and Xiao Wu within the scope of their capabilities.
The latter might be for them to directly join the Balak faction.
"Your talents are even better than Sun Qian anticipated, so naturally, the treatment for you cannot remain the same as before. It requires me, the leader of the Balak Team, to speak with you."
Vice Leader didn't let Yu Yan speak, instead talking incessantly about the brand-new benefits and treatment.
The new benefits included, but were not limited to, assistance in obtaining subsequent spirit rings, a massive tilt in Cultivation resources, guidance from specialized teachers, and a certain allowance of gold coins to spend freely.
This was the fourth time today Yu Yan had heard of such benefits; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Xue Qinghe, and the Spirit Hall had all offered similar conditions.
If he accepted these conditions, it would be no different from directly accepting the recruitment of the Balak Kingdom.
"That's about it. As long as you sign this file, you can enjoy the full cultivation of the Balak Spirit Master Academy."
Vice Leader took out a file from the storage soul tool on his finger and placed it before Yu Yan and Xiao Wu.
"May I ask, what do we need to give in return for accepting these conditions?"
Yu Yan didn't believe the Balak Spirit Master Academy would invest so much in cultivating a student.
"As long as you can represent the Balak Spirit Master Academy in the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament, there are no other conditions."
Vice Leader's answer didn't relax Yu Yan; instead, it made him more wary. Such a quick agreement usually meant there was a catch.
Other major powers required you to join before you could enjoy those benefits.
Here at the Balak Spirit Master Academy, you could enjoy the same benefits just by representing them in the competition.
Was that even possible?
Picking up the document on the table and reading it carefully, Yu Yan placed it back down:
"Can you add what you just said into the document?"
