Chapter 29: A New Round
When Mo Bai walked out of the clock tower with Ah Yin and met the pious and fervent gazes from below, he smiled slightly and declared, "She is the Goddess of the Moon!"
In the minds of the people, there was no concept of a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast taking human form. Their previous social standing meant they could not access such secrets. The only thing they could imagine was the stories from various myths and legends; now, there was the "transformation from grass to human."
With the definitive conclusion from their master, Mo Bai, it was difficult for anyone to harbor doubts that Ah Yin was the moon god.
[Ding! Wang Sheng and thousands of others have believed your lie—that Ah Yin is the moon god—with 100% trust. The manifestation degree is between one in ten thousand and one in one hundred thousand. Successfully manifested: Ah Yin has obtained one-thousandth of the Goddess of the Moon god position inheritance!]
As the System's voice faded in Mo Bai's mind, a faint and elegant golden moon mark quietly flashed on Ah Yin's forehead. It was exactly the legendary god position inheritance!
It really works, Mo Bai's lips curled up.
A thousand years ago, the Sea God was able to use a thousand years of time to harvest the faith of millions of sea creatures and sea Soul Masters to achieve the God Position of a Tier 1 God.
If Ah Yin can do it now, then he, Mo Bai, naturally can too. But the Sea God's millions? Not enough! He wants tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions!
And the divine name... "It is True!" "Remember the name of my god, the Divine Venerable!"
Mo Bai listened to the voices of the crowd below, which were filled with suppressed excitement, but his gaze turned toward the direction of Notting Academy. And the True "True" lay with Tang San. So... the next round has begun, Tang San.
The morning, several days later. The quiet Notting Academy was awakened by the chirping of birds. In the second-year classroom where Tang San was.
"Have you heard? That Work-Study Student, Wang Sheng, actually saw the Goddess of the Moon! He even received a drop of moon dew, which caused his Martial Soul to evolve!"
A student communicated with the person beside him, full of surprise and envy. "Martial Soul evolution?! Really?" "Of course it's True!" the student said with great conviction,
"Given Wang Sheng's original Aptitude, with Master Mo's financial support, being able to obtain a hundred-year Soul Ring was already a huge stroke of luck. But I didn't expect him to be so lucky!"
"Not only was his Martial Soul improved, but his Soul Power also increased directly from level 11 to level 13! It is said that he has already successfully joined Master Mo's Family, and in the future, he might even be able to hunt for a thousand-year Soul Ring!!"
"That's impossible, right?" The surrounding students cast even more skeptical looks. "Would I lie to you?"
The student who brought up the topic quietly leaned in to everyone's ears and whispered, "I heard it's Master Mo's Family! If he can do it, then isn't it possible for us in the future..."
Once "Master Mo" was mentioned, the skepticism on everyone's faces dissipated significantly.
That student added, "If you still don't believe it? I heard Wang Sheng is back at the academy today. If you don't believe me, you can go see for yourself. Soul Power and Martial Souls can't be faked, right?"
Before the words could finish, the classroom door was knocked. A sturdy figure with a bright and hearty smile appeared at the door—it was Wang Sheng, whom everyone was discussing!
Tang San's attention, which had been focused on listening, was also drawn over. Seeing it was Wang Sheng, he was slightly taken aback.
Seeing Tang San, Wang Sheng revealed a brilliant smile, strode forward, and affectionately put his arm around Tang San's neck: "Brother San, I heard there are no classes this afternoon. Do you want to go out for a meal? My treat!"
Tang San looked up at Wang Sheng, whose demeanor seemed calmer but whose smile remained hearty. He had come back and specifically sought him out, and everyone was watching, so it wouldn't be good to refuse.
He had also planned to go to the Spirit Hunting Forest today to try his luck finding purple pole grass, but the probability of success was very small, so delaying it by a day wouldn't matter.
As for the "rumors," he didn't believe them. What he was more curious about was Mo Bai's Family; the teacher had only mentioned it in passing and hadn't elaborated.
Seeing that Tang San didn't refuse, Wang Sheng chuckled, "Let's go, Brother San!"
After Tang San and Wang Sheng left, the students in the classroom were still filled with envy. Because what they said wasn't a lie; Wang Sheng had indeed received the Goddess's favor. His original level 1 Innate Soul Power Aptitude had now improved by at least half a level!
"The master said that if faith is sufficient, everyone will receive it, but when will it be my turn?"
The second-floor cafeteria of Notting Academy. As an academy exclusively for Soul Masters, there was no better restaurant in all of Notting City than the academy cafeteria.
Wang Sheng ordered a large table of food without ceremony. It wasn't just Tang San; almost all the Work-Study Students from a year ago were gathered here.
Moreover, it is said that after their batch, there would no longer be Work-Study Students; Master Mo Bai would fund all Work-Study Students to enter the academy as official students.
Tang San nodded frequently as he ate, understanding the news. It was something Brother Mo Bai would do; besides, it wouldn't cost much money anyway.
He glanced at Xiao Wu beside him. The big sister of Notting Academy was unusually quiet today. Even while eating, she was holding a notebook filled with strange symbols and scribbles, eating while reading and pondering.
Come to think of it, Xiao Wu hadn't been as rowdy as before for nearly half a year. He didn't know what Mo Bai had used to attract Xiao Wu, but it was for the best...
The meal concluded, but the Work-Study Students were still unsatisfied, each asking Wang Sheng with expectant eyes which Family he had joined, and if it was the same as the rumors—Master Mo's Family?
Wang Sheng naturally nodded proudly. This pride wasn't fake; in the entire city, only he and three others were closest to the master. Therefore, the pure envy in the eyes of the Work-Study Students wasn't fake either.
Tang San, with an inquisitive gaze, thought that having joined the Mo Bai Family, he must have seen more people from the Family, right? What would that be like?
But Wang Sheng turned his gaze and happened to meet Tang San's eyes, grinning, "Brother San, let's have a spar! Last time you had a Soul skills, now I have one too!"
As Wang Sheng spoke, his Soul Power surged, and a fierce Black Tiger Martial Soul appeared behind him, with a yellow Soul Ring floating around his body.
Tang San looked in surprise; this Soul Power fluctuation was exactly as the "rumors" said—level 13!
Clearly, it took someone 6 years to Cultivate from level 1 Innate to level 10, yet now, in the harder-to-Cultivate Soul Master Realm, he had risen three levels in just over half a year. This obviously didn't make sense.
Could it really be the same as what those people said? Unlikely... But since it was a challenge, he naturally had no reason to refuse. Tang San stood up, smiled slightly, and extended his hand, saying, "Please advise."
However, it took less than 3 minutes. Wang Sheng scratched his head awkwardly as he was pulled up from the ground by Tang San, "Still can't beat Brother San; you truly are a Genius with Innate full soul power!"
Although the master knew he would lose, he didn't want to lose so quickly and lose face, but in the end, he lost anyway.
After the small interlude, the dinner was nearing its end. Tang San couldn't contain his curiosity and asked Wang Sheng, "By the way, Wang Sheng, since you joined the Mo Bai Family, you must have seen others in the Mo Bai Family, right?"
"Look, that's them." "Huh?" Tang San's gaze followed the direction Wang Sheng indicated.
Mo Bai had appeared in the cafeteria at some point, and following behind him was a stunningly beautiful woman with cascading blue hair and a gentle, quiet appearance.
