Chapter 15: Soul Ring Beyond Age Limits

Under the pull of the red light, the Slime Soul Ring slowly flew towards Yan Jin.

She sat cross-legged on the ground, focusing her attention on the Martial Soul in her right hand. As the Soul Ring approached, she felt an unprecedented pressure, as if she were dozens of meters underwater, and her body felt somewhat overwhelmed.

Amon's two Avatars within her body also felt this pressure.

After the yellow Soul Ring reached the top of Yan Jin's head, it suddenly accelerated, shrinking to the size of a bracelet, and directly wrapped around the Magma Martial Soul.

Yan Jin only felt a huge surge of energy pouring in from her right hand, like raging and turbulent river water, washing over every part of her body.

She began to tremble all over, and the tearing pain made her unable to help but groan.

Thanks to the help of the Worm of Time, although she felt severe pain, and although her whole body was filled with uncontrollable energy, it was always right at the critical point that Yan Jin could bear.

After the initial pain, the energy was gradually absorbed by her body, and the frown on Yan Jin's face gradually eased.

She felt warm all over, as if basking in the warm and gentle midday sun in summer.

After absorbing it, she opened Yan Jin's eyes, with a happy smile on her face, "Amon, I succeeded! Thank you."

At the same time as her success, the two Avatars that helped her share the energy also improved from the original half-level to one level.

This made Amon feel that he seemed to have discovered a shortcut to improve Soul Power, but he quickly extinguished this idea.

The matter of helping others increase the absorption age should not be exposed, the risk is too great, it will attract countless coveters.

He nodded to Yan Jin, and said to Glenn beside him: "Thank you for your help, and please convey our gratitude to Ms. Ma Wen."

Glenn shrugged, "It's just a task, but the luck is indeed good. I thought I would have to kill a few more Flame Slimes to find one with a suitable age."

"Kill… a few more?" Yan Jin was a little puzzled.

"Oh, this Slime group is very large. What we just saw was only a small part. When I came to confirm the authenticity of the information before, I found several Flame Slimes inside, and even rarer Thunder Attribute Slimes."

Yan Jin and Amon looked at each other, both at a loss.

Although the final result was good, Yan Jin's joy was mixed with a bit of depression. When she absorbed the Soul Ring just now, she really thought she was going to die, and now she still feels a little scared.

If she had known that there were several targets to choose from, she would never have rashly absorbed one that exceeded the age limit so much.

"Show your Martial Soul and let me see your Soul Skill… This is Madam Ma Wen's request, and I need to report back to her." Glenn's indifferent voice rarely carried a hint of gentleness.

Yan Jin smiled and stretched out her right hand, her Martial Soul manifested, and a bright yellow Soul Ring radiated a halo on the Martial Soul.

Even if Glenn didn't say it, she couldn't wait to show off.

More and more magma emerged, and then it climbed up her arm, forming a thick gauntlet.

"Hehe, my Martial Soul is Magma, and the size is not fixed. It depends on the input of Soul Power. The more you input, the more magma will appear.

"Before, after exceeding the size of a fist, the magma would drip uncontrollably. Now I can freely control its shape. The essence of this Soul Skill is to enhance my control over the Martial Soul, and it consumes very little. I call it 'Martial Soul Solidification'." Yan Jin explained with a smile.

Amon then sensed her Soul Ring through the Worm of Time. Because the Worm of Time took away a part of the energy, the quality of the Soul Ring dropped, to about 700 years.

"Yan Jin, Level 14, Power Attack System Battle Soul Master!" She suddenly became serious and introduced herself earnestly.

Level 14? Glenn's breathing stagnated. A seven-year-old Level 14 Soul Master, is this the world of geniuses?

He had previously thought that Madam Ma Wen's investment of so much money in two little ghosts was not a wise decision, but now it seems that he was short-sighted.

"Amon, let's have a fight."

The improvement of Soul Power, the acquisition of Soul Skills, and the increase in physical fitness brought about by the upgrade made Yan Jin's confidence soar. She looked at Amon with an arrogant expression.

Amon still had a smile on his face, "This is not suitable here, let's talk about it when we get back."

"Oh, oh." Yan Jin also realized that doing so was inappropriate, and her momentum suddenly weakened.

They set up a tent in an open space and started to return early the next morning.

The speed of the return journey was significantly faster, and it was uneventful along the way. When they returned to the campsite, they returned the tent and then took a carriage back to Frost Leaf City.

Although it was only two days, this journey gave Yan Jin a feeling of being in another world.

Now, she is also a noble Soul Master, and can receive a Gold Soul Coin as a living allowance from the Martial Soul Hall every month!

She walked happily towards the Martial Soul Sub-Hall.

The Martial Soul Sub-Hall is a huge domed building, generally white, with a sword engraved on the front door. It is not luxurious, but it gives people a sense of grandeur.

The guards at the door were two young men in their twenties. When they saw Yan Jin coming, they asked in surprise:

"What are you doing here? This is the Martial Soul Hall, not a place for you to 'do business'."

"Yeah, Little Qu Shua, you should take your little brothers to the city gate to see if there are any suitable outsiders. People who can come here are not suitable for you."

The guards were obviously no strangers to her.

"Hey, hey, you two, don't slander me. I have already washed my hands and quit. Today, I am here to test my Soul Power level." Yan Jin put her hands on her hips and said proudly.

"Test Soul Power level? Could it be…" One of the guards had a look of disbelief on his face.

"That's right, from today onwards, I am also a noble Soul Master!" She smiled very happily.

"Go to the reception hall on the first floor to find Sir Silver, he will test you."

"Okay, okay." Yan Jin raised her leg and walked in. She suddenly found a guard following her, "What are you following me for?"

The guard said expressionlessly: "Worried that you will get lost."

In fact, he was worried about letting Yan Jin wander around, and something might be missing from the Martial Soul Hall.

Yan Jin also knew this and "tsk"ed with some dissatisfaction.

When she arrived at the reception hall, before she could speak, Silver glanced at her and took the initiative to say: "You are here to test your Soul Power level, come with me, the Hall Master is waiting for you."

"Huh? Ah?" Yan Jin's small face was full of confusion.

Under Silver's lead, she came to the Hall Master's office in confusion.

The Hall Master of the branch hall was a thin-faced middle-aged man. He looked at Yan Jin and said, "Little friend, we meet again."

"Ah, you are Mi Zonglan…" Yan Jin found this man with a weak sense of existence in the corner of her memory.

Mi Zonglan smiled, "It is impolite to call others by their first name like that."

"Okay, I apologize."

Yan Jin knew that this person had a great say in whether she could get a monthly subsidy of one Gold Soul Coin, and she decisively chose to follow her heart.

"You seem to have known for a long time that I was coming to test my Soul Power level?"

"Of course, I am also paying attention to your outstanding talent and Ms. Ma Wen's actions." Mi Zonglan replied, "Come on, inject your Soul Power and let me see what level you are now."

Mi Zonglan casually placed the crystal ball on the table in front of her.

Yan Jin put her hand on the crystal ball. As the Soul Power was injected, a layer of hazy yellow light lit up on the crystal ball. The light was not strong, but it was extremely clear.

"…Level 14?" Mi Zonglan looked at her in some astonishment, and the surprise on his face was hard to hide.
