The so-called 'swallowing the heavens'!
His name is as powerful as his character; he can even devour the heavens.
When this feedback is applied to Xiao Chenyu's martial soul, the weakest function is that it allows him to utilize the soul power contained within the soul ring to its fullest extent.
In short, there will be no middlemen taking a cut, and no soul power will be wasted when absorbing soul rings.
This is also why Xiao Chenyu broke through to level 14 after absorbing his first spirit ring.
Secondly, after acquiring its first spirit ring, the Devouring Moon Howling Wolf spirit officially unlocked its hidden characteristics.
Each soul beast that transforms into a soul ring can provide Xiao Chenyu with a new martial soul.
Moreover, the new martial soul's level is the same as that of the Devouring Moon Wolf, and their enhancements to the body can be stacked.
In short, Xiao Chenyu can now possess the Moon Shadow Tiger Martial Soul, and his first Soul Skill is the Moon Shadow Transformation that Dean Xiao mentioned before.
However, this Moon Shadow Transformation is also effective during the day, but the bonus is not as high, only 50%.
Furthermore, when possessed by the Moon Shadow Tiger, not only does it have the 100% speed bonus inherent to the Moon Shadow Tiger Martial Soul, but it can also stack the 400% bonus after being possessed by the Sky Devouring Howling Moon Wolf.
In the future, once more spirit rings are acquired, this bonus can be stacked even higher.
To be honest, even Xiao Chenyu, who is usually quite cautious, was starting to feel a bit arrogant at this moment.
With just this one bug-level martial soul, he felt he could conquer the entire Douluo Continent.
Of course, before reaching the title of Douluo, there were still many who could kill him instantly, so he had no desire to stand out.
Especially after learning about the various bug-like effects of his martial soul, he was even less willing to reveal it.
"Uncle, thank you for today!"
On the way back to the city, Xiao Chenyu expressed his sincere gratitude.
"It's alright. When you've become successful, you can come back to Notting Academy and give a speech," Dean Xiao said with a smile.
It was simply his duty, but he was still happy to see that Xiao Chenyu was genuinely grateful.
At least, Xiao Chenyu wasn't like his older brother, who only knew how to engage in petty political maneuvering and had lost his true self.
"Of course, I'll come back in a few years to give a speech to my juniors," Xiao Chenyu said with a grin.
"Junior students?"
Upon realizing the meaning behind those words, Dean Xiao showed a look of surprise.
"Yes! I've discussed it with my dad."
Xiao Chenyu nodded:
"I don't think I'll go to junior college. I'll just register at Notting College and get a certificate. That way, I can also promote your name, Uncle."
"Are you that confident?" Dean Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"Hehe, if Holy Soul Village can change its name to Holy Soul because a Soul Saint came out, then Notting Academy can also change its name to Xiao Family Academy because of me. No problem!" Xiao Chenyu said.
“Xiao Family Academy, why don’t you call it Chenyu Academy?” Dean Xiao glared back.
"Notting Academy is too small, I don't think much of it!" Xiao Chenyu said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Dean Xiao couldn't hold back any longer:
"Before you become famous, it seems I need to make sure you remember the fear the dean once instilled in you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chenyu didn't hesitate and immediately activated his Martial Soul, leaping out into the air.
But the whooshing sound behind him told him that the distance between him and Dean Xiao had not increased; on the contrary, it was getting closer and closer.
After the commotion subsided, Xiao Chenyu and Dean Xiao did not choose to take a carriage, but instead traveled all the way back to Notting City.
Upon seeing the city of Nottingham late at night, Xiao Chenyu gloriously collapsed from exhaustion.
He vowed that he would never compete with agility-type soul masters in speed before his soul power was fully developed.
This is absolutely killing me!
As Xiao Chenyu fell, Dean Xiao caught him with a smile on his face:
"Consider this a lesson for you, kid. You can't even beat me, a level 48 Soul Master, and you still claim to be the best at escaping?"
He hoisted Xiao Chenyu onto his shoulder, and with a flash, shot out at an even faster speed.
In less than 10 minutes, he carried Xiao Chenyu back to the city lord's mansion.
After giving the gatekeeper a few instructions, Dean Xiao showed no intention of going in and left after watching Xiao Chenyu enter the mansion.
Before leaving, he met the dignified eyes of his fellow disciple.
They merely passed each other briefly before Dean Xiao headed towards the academy, though he left in a better mood.
The next day.
Despite feeling sore all over, Xiao Chenyu struggled to get out of bed with the help of a maid.
"Not bad."
As Xiao Chenyu stepped out the door, he heard the calm voice of City Lord Xiao.
Xiao Chenyu's lips curled slightly. "It's just the first spirit ring. Dad, how's the preparation going with what you mentioned before?"
"We've already started initial contact, and it's basically going to work out, but quite a few people share our ideas."
Lord Xiao sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, his expression slightly solemn:
"Beside the Crown Prince, there is a girl whose martial soul is the Bright Swan. She is about three years older than you and the same age as the Crown Prince. Her soul power has already reached level 21."
"You even managed to find out this? Then she should be my main rival from now on," Xiao Chenyu said casually.
Xiao Chenyu had already guessed the girl's true identity.
Based on the timeline of the original novel, Qian Renxue probably entered the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace around this time.
In another year or two, once she becomes familiar with everything about Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, she will take his place.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Xiao Chenyu.
He already has his heart set on the Spirit Hall, so he might even help Qian Renxue in the future.
However, knowing how to conceal one's true intentions while offering help is also an art.
However, before going to the capital, it would be best to complete the plan so that he would have some ability to protect himself.
