Chapter 40 Soul Hunting Competition, A Little Brother Arrives.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Nian was already ten years old.
Now, following behind him was a little girl with orange hair.
"Na'er, this will be your class from now on."
"I'm in the teaching building across the street."
Jiang Nian pointed, and Hu Liena nodded weakly.
Xie Yue behind them was also a little reserved, not daring to make eye contact with the other children his age.
"Go on, Yan is waiting for you inside."
After the two siblings mustered up their courage and entered Class One of the Human Grade, Jiang Nian and Jin Yue'er left first.
After walking for a while, seeing her playing with her ponytail, he couldn't help but ask, "Yue'er, why are you looking down?"
"Ah? I... I'm fine." Jin Yue'er shook her head, which made Jiang Nian realize that she must have something on her mind.
After being stared at for a long time, she was the first to surrender.
"Na'er is so pretty, and her talent is so high..."
That's right, when she learned that Hu Liena was almost at full innate soul power, she was surprised for a long time.
The three people I casually sponsored back then actually have such high talent?!
Jiang Nian smiled, walked over and rubbed her forehead: "Your martial soul quality is much higher than theirs, besides... you're very pretty too."
"Ah? Really?!" Jin Yue'er suddenly looked up, her eyes flashing with shyness, her lips pursed as if she was about to fly away.
"Hmm."
Jiang Nian turned around, sighing inwardly.
Who could dislike a twin-tailed little loli?

In class, Jiang Nian looked at the students in the Heavenly Class, feeling somewhat bored, and slumped over his desk.
It still felt a little strange without someone beside him.
Oh well, I'll just focus on cultivating.
In the past six months, with the aid of those herbs, his cultivation speed had increased considerably compared to before.
He was about to break through to level 37.
It was a pity that in this era, such things were so scarce.
Relying solely on the seeds given by Elder Ju wasn't enough. If he could go out…
The thought flashed through his mind, but he shook his head.
He should focus on daily training to increase his combat experience.
Flowers in a greenhouse are too easily broken.
Life gradually calmed down.
That day, all the teachers in the Heavenly-level class organized a Soul Hunting activity.
The purpose was to give the students some experience.
There were three Heavenly-level classes, each with twenty-one students.
Jiang Nian followed his homeroom teacher to the Soul Hunting Forest.
"I heard the winner gets 50,000 gold soul coins!"
"Jiang Nian, are you interested in competing?"
A chubby boy nudged his arm, familiarly putting his arm around Jiang Nian's shoulder.
"We'll see."
"It's okay, even if you can't beat those Soul Masters, I'll still give you 50,000 gold soul coins to play with!"
Zhao Baihao patted his chest confidently, as if stating something insignificant.
Jiang Nian paused, staring at the guy for a moment, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"What does your family do?"
He confidently tossed his hair as he asked.
"You know the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce in Wuhun City? I'm the old man's only son!"
"After he dies, it'll all be mine!"
Jiang Nian opened his mouth, unsure what to say.
He was just beaming with joy.
"Remember a year ago, when you PK'd with those guys from Class Three? I was the one who set up the betting!" Zhao Bai said cheerfully.
"Oh... I remember..." Jiang Nian nodded. Jin Yue'er had made quite a bit of money from that back then.
Of course, he'd taken a lot too.
"How about it? Follow me, and I'll get you a soul bone if you get one." Zhao Bai looked earnestly into his eyes.
Such a brilliant genius—it was only natural to befriend him.
Perhaps their Tianyun Chamber of Commerce could become the number one on the continent in the future, all depending on this boy nine years younger than him.
Damn it!
The same cultivation level, yet he was so much older than him—it was truly infuriating to compare! "Why don't you just follow me? I'm not exactly short of money right now."
Jiang Nian brushed aside his arm and quickened his pace.
Zhao Bai was stunned for a moment, then after thinking for a long time, he eagerly followed.
"Brother Nian! From now on, you're my brother!" ...
Arriving at the Soul Hunting Forest.
Jiang Nian looked at this place controlled by the Spirit Hall and quietly listened to his homeroom teacher's instructions.
This training was being watched in secret by Soul Saints and Soul Douluos, so there wouldn't be any life-or-death danger.
However, he still wanted to keep his life in his own hands as much as possible.
With several signal flares launched, everyone instantly surged into the Soul Hunting Forest.
Jiang Nian walked inside at a leisurely pace, while Zhao Bai chattered behind him, trying to find topics to talk about.
However, Jiang Nian only responded with "uh-huh" each time.
The chubby boy didn't seem to care, lost in his own world.
"Brother Nian, I think with those people's strength, you could definitely win the championship by killing a six- or seven-thousand-year-old soul beast."
Jiang Nian nodded; he definitely wanted to compete for first place.
However, the Soul Hunting Forest was, after all, the property of the Spirit Hall, so they should kill as few as possible.
"Let's go. Since each person can only kill two soul beasts, let's see what age they're hunting."
"Yes!"
Zhao Bai followed behind Jiang Nian, acting as his lackey.
A short while later, the two secretly observed the teams with Soul Masters.
"Phew... the people in Class Two are really overestimating themselves, daring to challenge a five-thousand-year-old Mad Horned Ant."
"Three Soul Masters, four Soul Venerables..."
"If they split it evenly, they won't have many points..."
Zhao Bai muttered under his breath.
Jiang Nian remained silent, briefly assessing the situation before turning and leaving to search for suitable prey deeper into the Soul Hunting Forest.
"Hey! Brother Nian, wait for me!"
In the deep forest, the occasional bird call created a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.
"Brother Nian... I heard there are ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest. You wouldn't be thinking of hunting them, would you?"
"No, killing them would be a waste if no one could absorb their soul rings. It's better to leave them for the younger generation of the Spirit Hall," Jiang Nian said calmly.
Pushing aside the weeds, his gaze fell upon the cave ahead, and he sniffed.
Hmm?!
The scent of flowers?
And there seemed to be quite a few?
"There's even Soul-Gathering Grass! This is a pleasant surprise..."
Jiang Nian took out his Spirit Beast and walked towards the cave, lighting a row of flames on the rock wall to illuminate their vision.
In his opinion, the value of the Soul-Gathering Grass alone far exceeded the so-called fifty thousand gold soul coins.
In this era, useful cultivation resources were scarce.
Discovering a plant that could enhance soul power was already quite an achievement.
Zhao Bai followed behind, barely daring to breathe.
He was afraid a demon might suddenly appear, and he'd be the first to be hunted...
He touched his chubby cheek and composed himself.
"Squeak?!"
