"First Soul Skill: Light as a Swallow——!"

With a light shout, a youth with two gray triangular beast ears on his head dashed forward, the White Halo shining under his feet, his steps as light as if he were flying. The Rice Seedling-like Long War Blade in his hand followed suit and slashed down.

Facing this swift and fierce strike, the tall and muscular man did not dare to be careless. He growled, and his fur bristled, making him resemble a Bear-like Man. A pair of large, thick bear paws, glowing yellow, met the incoming blade.

Similarly, a White Halo also shone beneath the muscular man's feet.

"Clang——!"

The sound of the blade striking hard stone echoed. An invisible whirlwind suddenly appeared around the youth's legs, and with a quick turn, he moved to the side of the muscular man, slashing his war blade diagonally.

This time, the muscular man could not react in time. He only managed to slightly turn his body and took the blow on his arm.

"Swoosh——!"

The sound of the sharp blade cutting through leather rang out, and a streak of bright red blood appeared under the blade.

"Clank——!"

At this moment, a silver-gray shadow appeared at the end of the war blade, blocking the force of the downward slash, preventing the blade from piercing deeper into the muscular man's flesh.

The youth with the triangular beast ears took a closer look and saw that the silver-gray object was the tip of a spear, holding the war blade steady.

Following the direction of the spear, the youth saw a handsome young man with a gentle demeanor. Suddenly, a furious shout rang in his ears: "Li Ergou! Are you really trying to kill me—?!"

The youth turned his head and saw the muscular man, Xiong Er, staring at him with large, crystalline yellow eyes, breathing heavily through his nose and mouth, glaring at him fiercely.

"Pfft~" The youth withdrew his blade, took two steps back, and pouted. "Xiong Er, if you can't admit defeat, just do it. If it weren't for Yi helping you just now, your arm would have been dislocated—"

"Bah—!!"

Xiong Er, the muscular man, was so angry that his nostrils flared. Ignoring the blood gushing from his arm, he clenched his fists and shouted, "What the hell are you saying?! I, Old Bear, am inferior in skill? Can't accept defeat? If you have the guts to fight me one-on-one, without Ling Xiaoge's support, I'll crush your balls—!!"

He was so furious. In the past, whenever he faced Li Ergou, relying on his tough skin, immense strength, and higher soul power level, he always won easily.

He, Xiong Er, had the Iron Claw Bear soul, making him a 19th Level Strong Attack Soul Warrior.

And Li Ergou? He had the Wolf Fang Dog soul, making him a 15th Level Agile Attack Soul Warrior.

When they faced each other, although Li Ergou was slippery due to his agility, as soon as they clashed, Xiong Er's powerful first soul skill, 'Bear's Mighty Strike,' would always ensure Li Ergou's defeat.

But this time, Li Ergou brought Ling Xiaoge along, saying that Ling Xiaoge was only a 14th Level Healing Soul Master, and that the two of them wanted to challenge Xiong Er, and that Xiong Er wouldn't refuse such a challenge.

Although Xiong Er looked simple, he had his own judgment.

Ling Xiaoge was well-known in Cold Wind Camp, not just for the highly praised 500-forged weapons he crafted, but also for the many soldiers he had healed.

Thus, the moment he saw Ling Xiaoge, Xiong Er's mind immediately recalled the information about him.

Waste soul 'Blue Silver Grass,' 14th Level Healing Soul Master; Senior Blacksmith, strong in strength, skilled with swords, spears, sticks, and axes, not inferior to a one-ringed soul master with a weapon soul.

To have such a high evaluation despite his soul, Ling Xiaoge was definitely someone to be admired by ordinary soul masters like them.

But admiration aside, when it came to combat, Xiong Er was not looking down on anyone. As a powerful beast soul master, his strength alone surpassed even those who had just broken through to level 20 or absorbed soul rings, such as two-ringed great soul masters with weapon souls.

Coupled with the combat skills and experience he had honed over years in the military, dealing with a Li Ergou who was always easy to defeat and a healing soul master with some combat ability should not be a problem for Xiong Er.

Who would have thought that at the start of the match, Ling Xiaoge showed no intention of joining the fight, standing with a silver spear at his side, his 'Blue Silver Grass' soul appearing, and casting the familiar soul skill 'Vitality Flourishing' on Li Ergou.

Li Ergou, enveloped in green light, seemed to be on a high, completely abandoning his usual cautious approach and charging forward with his blade.

Just as Xiong Er was about to deal with Li Ergou with a 'Bear's Mighty Strike' as usual, and give Ling Xiaoge some face by playing a few rounds before sending him out of the arena...

Who would have thought that Li Ergou's first soul skill came in a double shot!!

Something was definitely wrong!!

Although Xiong Er came from a common family, he had received six years of education at a basic soul master academy. He had also spent a few years in the town outside the Hunting Soul Forest, later joining the principality's military and spending over a decade there, seeing many things. He had a good understanding of how soul masters should use their soul skills under normal circumstances.

Moreover, he himself was a seasoned soul master, having hunted his first soul ring over a decade ago and being just a step away from level 20. He knew exactly what his first soul skill should be like.

Because of this knowledge, after cursing Li Ergou for a while, Xiong Er shifted his attention to Ling Xiaoge, who had just thrust his spear to block the blade and prevent it from piercing deeper into his flesh.

"Ling Xiaoge~"

As Xiong Er spoke the three words, a green glow shot from Ling Xiaoge's right palm to his injured arm, bringing a tingling and cool sensation that replaced the previous burning and pain.

...

Fifteen minutes later, Ling Xiaoge walked back to the medical tent of the Third Medical Battalion, greeting every soldier he passed with a sunny smile that made people feel good.

If a soul master with strong mental power were present, they would notice that with each step Ling Xiaoge took, a faint whirlwind enveloped his legs, making his steps light and nimble.

It was only because Ling Xiaoge was deliberately controlling it; otherwise, each step he took would be much larger than usual.

Returning to his tent, Ling Xiaoge sat down at his familiar desk, feeling pleased as he reminisced about the scene.

It was now late October of the 2601st year of the Douluo Calendar, and he had been in Cold Wind Camp for two years.

In October of the 2603rd year of the Douluo Calendar, at twelve years and seven months old, Ling Xiaoge's soul power had increased by nearly three levels from two years ago, reaching level 14, 57%. This was far below Tang San, who at the same age had soul power level 30, killed a 'Man-faced Demon Spider,' and became a Soul Venerable.

However, Ling Xiaoge was quite satisfied. Tang San had innate full soul power and reached level 10 at age six, and after hunting his first soul ring, he directly reached level 13.

As for Ling Xiaoge?

He only reached level 10 at age ten, thanks to various self-created cheats, spending four years to do so. A self-cultivated 300-year soul ring only increased his soul power to level 11, nearly halfway.

It was only by fully integrating the 300-year 'Blue Silver Grass' essence and improving his soul quality to roughly equivalent to innate soul power level 1 that he could keep up with the training pace of the son of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan's clan leader.

If he continued at this rate, Ling Xiaoge would need to train for another five to six years, reaching the age of seventeen or eighteen, to reach soul power level 20, acquire a soul ring, and become a two-ringed great soul master.

If so, in the entire Waterwood Principality, Ling Xiaoge would already surpass 70-80% of common soul masters and even once again draw attention to 'Blue Silver Grass' soul masters from the principality.

But would Ling Xiaoge be satisfied with that?
