Chapter 4

Lin Feng, that little brat, really makes people worry!

For the past few days, Old Jack had reminded him to stay here at noon every day during mealtimes. He didn't expect that he would drop the ball at such a crucial moment after agreeing in the morning!

Moreover, Lin Feng often stayed at home before. But for the past few days, other than when he came back during mealtimes, he spent every day in the forest to the west of the village, playing something crazy.

Thinking of this, Old Jack angrily rushed in that direction.

Coincidentally, that direction was also in the direction of Tang San's home. Since it was on the way back, he could bring Tang San with him.

Speaking of Tang San, Old Jack felt that it was a pity. He didn't have a mother when he was young, and he had a useless alcoholic father, Tang Hao.

If it wasn't for Tang Hao's blacksmithing skills, they would have been chased out of the village a long time ago.

Even so, Tang San's family was the poorest in the entire village.

If Tang San was an ordinary child, Old Jack wouldn't think much of it. At most, he would feel pity for him.

But Tang San was unusually sensible. He was only a few years old, yet he was already taking care of his alcoholic father. His obedient appearance really made one's heart ache. It also made Old Jack feel pity for him.

Just as he was thinking, two children were walking in this direction on the street in front of him. Old Jack focused his eyes. Weren't they Lin Feng and Tang San?!

"Little Feng, you little brat. The Lord Soul Master is already here, yet you're still here leisurely. Are you looking for a beating?" Old Jack glared and shouted from afar.

Hearing this, Lin Feng immediately raised his head and saw Old Jack's angry face.

His small eyes turned, and Lin Feng greeted him with a grin. He intimately grabbed Old Jack's hand and shook it.

"Grandpa Jack, didn't you say that Xiao San's family probably didn't have anyone to remind them? I thought it was quite pitiful, so I came over. I was just about to bring Xiao San over!

Why did you come personally? "

Old Jack was very concerned about him. This was something that Lin Feng knew.

Old Jack was very angry that he didn't wait for the Soul Master in the 'Martial Soul Palace' this afternoon.

Therefore, Lin Feng could only find an excuse to dispel Old Jack's anger.

However, Lin Feng wasn't late on purpose. He had just returned from outside the village!

Lin Feng spent the entire morning training. He didn't slack off until he reached rank 10.

However, the strange thing was that his training volume was much higher than before, but the experience he gained did not increase. Instead, it decreased.

Or to put it another way, before Lin Feng ran for about ten minutes, he got ten experience points.

But this morning, after running for ten minutes, he only got three or four experience points.

Even though his EXP from yesterday was much higher than the day before, because of the increase in his physical fitness, his training was almost twice as much as the day before, but his EXP was not twice as much.

In total, yesterday's efficiency was 30% lower than the day before.

Today, it was even worse. It was almost 60% lower.

In fact, Lin Feng should have noticed this yesterday. However, he was blinded by the experience points and only noticed it today.

The reason should be that his physical fitness had increased. Therefore, the same type of training was no longer as effective as before.

From this point, Lin Feng could tell that the system's judgment was not based on how much he had done, but on how much the things he had done had an effect on him!

This was only Lin Feng's initial guess. However, he still needed to spend some time to test it out.

Fortunately, Lin Feng didn't slack off at all today. He continued to train and rushed to reach rank 10 before Su Yuntao began to awaken his martial soul!

Name: Lin Feng

Martial Soul: Unawakened

Soul Power: Rank 10

Soul Rings: None

Experience Points: 3

After reaching rank 10, from the system's information, Lin Feng discovered that the experience points he needed to reach rank 11 had increased from 100 to 500.

Most importantly, Lin Feng also learned that before he obtained a soul ring, he couldn't continue to level up. He could only level up after obtaining a soul ring.

Although this was a bit of a pity, it was nothing. It wasn't like he couldn't gain experience points, but he couldn't level up immediately. Lin Feng could save up for now.

Moreover, he was already rank 10. After entering the school, Lin Feng could immediately obtain his first soul ring.

At that time, he could level up again.

"If I didn't come, Lord Soul Master would've personally captured the two of you!" Seeing Lin Feng's smiling face, Old Jack didn't say much.

"Let's go, it's time to awaken your martial soul!" With a snort, he brought the two of them to the center of the village.

Seeing this, Lin Feng turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Tang San, as if to say, "Little guy, learn a bit."

However, the latter didn't understand this layer of meaning. He only scratched his head in confusion, thinking, "What's wrong with Feng Ge?

Did sand get into his eyes? "

Along the way, Old Jack explained the concept of a Soul Master.

This wasn't for Lin Feng to hear; Old Jack had told him before. Now, he opened his mouth specifically to tell Tang San.

However, Tang San already knew from Lin Feng, and he knew much more than Old Jack.

However, he was still a polite and good child. He didn't show any impatience or arrogance. He just listened quietly.

Soon, the two of them were brought to the 'Martial Soul Hall' in the center of the village.

Because their martial souls were about to awaken, irrelevant personnel were all driven out. There was only a youth in his twenties and seven children around six years old.

The youth had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His appearance was above average, and he looked somewhat handsome.

He wore white clothes with a black cloak on his back. In the center of his chest, there was a fist-sized 'soul' character. This was the standard attire of a direct subordinate of the Martial Soul Hall.

On his left chest, there was an insignia with a longsword carved on it. There were a total of three longswords crisscrossing on the insignia.

People like Old Jack who were very familiar with Soul Masters knew that three swords represented a Soul Master's third rank title, Soul Grandmaster. As for the longsword, it represented that this deacon from the Martial Soul Hall was a Soul Warrior.

There was no need for an introduction. The moment he saw this youth, Lin Feng knew that he was the legendary Su Yuntao!

Old Jack first brought Lin Feng and Tang San to the side of the seven children. Then, he respectfully bowed to the youth.

"Respected Soul Battle Grandmaster, the last two children have been brought here. This time, we'll have to trouble you."

The youth's eyebrows revealed a faint pride. He slightly bowed in return. "I don't have much time. Let's start now."

"Okay." Old Jack nodded and said, "Children, this is a Soul Battle Grandmaster from Notting City.

Next, he will guide you to awaken your martial souls. "

"You must cooperate with the Grandmaster to awaken your martial souls. Grandpa is looking forward to seeing one of you become a Soul Master."

With that, Old Jack left.
