章節 73: Chapter 72 Changes in Six Years (Part 2).

Rayne, wearing a black sunglasses to cover his eyes, looked at the eight people who came in, with a slight smile.

"It's been quite some time, hasn't it?"

"Two years, I believe."

Rayne remarked as he carefully observed the eight people, four men and four women.

The eight people can be said to be moderately good looking.

The four men were wearing black t-shirts and gray pants, with a silver long jacket that had red linings on them.

The four women were also wearing similar outfit, only, a bit more femine.

These eight were the gang of Xiao Chenyu, the first recruits of the Ouroboros organization.

The four men had grown up a lot compared to before. They had a more mature stature, with a fairly muscular body build.

Xiao Chenyu and Wang Sheng, in particular, looked quite muscular, as they possess beast martial souls.

The other two, Liu Long and Ling Feng looked somewhat leaner compared to the other two.

Ling Feng, in particular, is covering his head with a black hoodie, and also had a fairly lean build.

The four women, on the other hand,

Xiao Chenyu's sister, Xiao Chenling looked much better compared to six years ago.

She had a long black hair that reached her waist, tied in a pony tail, and a decent facial appearance.

Compared to her appearance six years ago which was almost below average, she could be considered a bit pretty now.

The other three, the triplets, Lin Hong'er, Lin Bai'er and Lin Lan'er, looked like three very pretty young ladies.

Even now, each of them have tied their long hair with colored ribbons matching their names.

Even now, Rayne feels quite ironic about the casual naming of these three sisters.

He had once asked them whether they wanted to change their names. But surprisingly, they decided to stick with their names as it is, since it was given to them by the parents who birthed and raised them.

Rayne can only say, filial piety is respectable.

On the right chest of all eight of them, there was a conspicuous red badge. On it was the image of a 'mobius strip' or the infinite sign.

This is the membership badge and the identity proof of the Ouroboros organization.

Each of these badges were a unique device that is a combination of rune magic and soul guide technology. They contain the information of the individual it belongs, and also represent the authority and privileges that one can receive in the Ouroboros city or the organization.

The badges themselves have different rankings, that differentiate in the rights, status and authority.

The rankings are based on the colors of the soul rings.

White, yellow, purple, black, red, and gold.

White is the lowest and gold is the highest.

In fact, gold is only accessible if Rayne himself personally grants it. Otherwise, it cannot be obtained, no matter how much achievements or contributions they make to the organization.

The red badge, which is technically the highest rank badge, is also divided into ten ranks.

First is the most basic red badge.

From the next level, one golden line is added to the red badge. The highest level is nine gold line red badge.

Back to the scenario,

"How has your progress been in the two years by yourselves?" Rayne asked with a smile.

Till two years ago, he had assigned one of his clones to train these eight, since they were the first recruits of his organization.

By that time, he had been giving them hellish training, which brought about rapid improvement.

It had also shaped their mentality, from the ignorant selves of the past to the experienced and mature selves now.

The harsh training has tempered their willpower, laying a spiritual foundation for future endeavors.

After he was a bit satisfied, he let them travel around the continent by themselves for training and understanding the ways of the world.

Hearing Rayne's inquiry, all of them stood straight.

And one by one, started to introduce themselves in a firm and loud voice.

"Xiao Chenyu, level 48 Attack-type soul master, four ring Soul Ancestor. Martial Soul is Wind Demon Battle Wolf!"

"Wang Sheng, Level 47 Attack-type soul master, four ring Soul Ancestor. Martial soul is Blazing Battle Tiger!"

"Liu Long, Level 45 Attack-type soul master, four ring Soul Ancestor. Martial soul is Golden Stick!"

"Ling Feng, Level 44 Agility Attack-type soul master, four ring Soul Ancestor. Martial soul is Nether Crow!"

"Xiao Chenling, Level 38 Agility Attack-type soul master, three ring Soul Elder. Martial soul is Wind Demon Battle Wolf!"

"Lin Lan'er, Level 38 Auxiliary Food type soul master, three ring Soul Elder. Martial Soul is Vitality Carrot!"

"Lin Hong'er, Level 39 Auxiliary Food type soul master, three ring Soul Elder. Martial soul is Vitality Carrot!"

"Lin Bai'er, Level 38 Auxiliary Food type soul master, three ring Soul Elder. Martial soul is Vitality Carrot!"

The eight of them finished introducing themselves, and looked at Rayne with some expectations and nervousness.

They really cared about his opinions, since he was basically their teacher.

Rayne nodded, then lightly said.

"Although not the very best results, but still excellent nonetheless. You have my praise for not slacking off in my absence. Well done."

Compared to the beginning, their martial souls have experienced benign mutation due to absorbing high level soul rings.

Rayne looked at them with a bit of recognition.

Even if they have experienced the "Heavenly Thunder Body Reforging Runic Array" and greatly increased their innate talent and potential, it wasn't too high.

Only about level five innate soul power and wider meridians.

In the first place, the special array's main function is to temper the body to its limit, temper one's mind, then rapidly increase the soul power level to a certain extent.

The increase in talent was more of a bonus.

So, it's very admirable to get to the current level with their mediocre talents.

Of course, the factor for this improvement is still based on the cultivation technique given to them by Rayne, as well as the soul rings that are above the common limit.

Even with this, they cannot achieve this results without hard work.

So Rayne is quite satisfied with these results.

Hearing Rayne's praise, the eight people smiled happily.

"Now you're all only about eighteen years old, and half of you are even younger. More than enough to be eligible to enter the All-Continent Soul Master Competition that is coming in about two years."

"After this, enter the Ouroboros' Advanced Soul Master Academy and register as students. For the coming two years, just focus on cultivating and honing your skills. In the coming competition, there will be a lot of cheaters."

Rayne said to the eight people, remembering the group of people who will be reborn soon.

And, yes. There are three soul master academies and some other academies as well in the Ouroboros City.

"Yes.we'll do it right away." Xiao Chenyu replied.

Rayne stopped them from leaving.

"Before you leave, I have some things to give you. Your training results have satisfied me, so I'll give you the due rewards."

"All of you, sit down. I'll give you something I had intended to give you a long time ago."

Rayne instructed all of them to sit down on the floor.

Then, as he extended his hand, twenty four bright blue medicinal pills floated above his palm.

Each of these pills exuded a tranquil aura and great vitality.

Just inhaling the medicinal scent made the eight of them excited. Their soul power level even faintly showed signs of improvement.

Rayne waved his hand and motioned the pills towards the eight of them. Three each!

"This is called Mystic Water Pill. Well, the supreme grade version."

"These pills are a high grade pill made of high-end materials such as a water-type immortal herb, blood essence of a 100,000-year-old water soul beast, multiple ninth grade medicinal herbs, etc."

"Consuming even one will thoroughly cleanse your body and meridians, giving you almost a rebirth-like enhancement in talent. One pill can increase your innate soul power by four or five. And three of them can increase the innate soul power of an individual by eight levels."

"Well, the qualifications upgrade aside, for those under level 60, one pill will increase your soul power by five levels. Three pills together can increase your soul power by at least twelve levels."

"Of course, three is the limit of what an individual can take."

Rayne explained patiently in a calm tone.

But Xiao Chenyu's group of eight were shocked and excited.

"There is actually such a miraculous medicinal pill?!"

"Improving talent greatly... Unbelievable!"

"As expected of you, Rayne! You always take out some unbelievable things!"

The eight of them expressed their shock and admiration.

...

After condensing the Space-Time Spiritual Soul Core, Rayne can now manipulate the power of space and time more conveniently now.

He used his ability to manipulate time to speed up the flow of time in a few meters around the eight of them, and helped them completely absorb the three supreme grade mystic water pill without any problem.

What would've taken more than two or three days was completed in just an hour.

At this moment, all eight of them had black dirt with a very disgusting smell all over their body.

Rayne cast a cleansing spell on them, and cleaning them of all those expelled impurities instantly.

After this, all of them woke up one by one.

They greeted Rayne and thanked him. Then, they examined themselves properly.

All of them were shocked to find that they were all level 50.

All it needed was a soul ring to breakthrough to a five ring Soul King.

Xiao Chenyu and Wang Sheng, in particular, felt that they were more than just level 50. Their true level might be even above level 55.

The girls were also very ecstatic. Because, their overall appearance has received a big upgrade thanks to the mystic water pills.

Xiao Chenyu's eyes lit up at the sight of the more beautiful triplet sisters, his lovers.

Rayne looked at the clock and remembered something he had to attend to in two hours.

So, he wasted no more time and took out the last of the rewards he had prepared for them.

Rayne took out eight storage soul guides and gave them to the eight people.

"In those storage soul guides, I've stored a Spirit Soul of more than 50,000-years-old that is most suitable for you and bring you a complete martial soul evolution."

"In addition, there are also a set of six soul bones, each of the age of more than 70,000-years-old!"

"But don't absorb all these for now. Your cultivation has increased too rapidly. Even if there is no side effects, it's better to take it slow for a year and consolidate your cultivation."

"After a year, absorb the soul bones first, then the Spirit Soul."

Rayne said as he gave them the storage soul guides.

"Brother Rayne, what is this Spirit Soul that you speak of?" Xiao Chenyu asked suddenly.

This question was also in the mind of the other seven.

"A Spirit Soul is made from all the essence and energy of the soul beast. Basically, it's a soul ring, but the soul of the soul beast is still alive and can co-exist with you."

"You may not know, but when you kill a soul beast and get it's soul ring, you only get a small part of it's cultivation and origin."

"And Spirit Soul can allow you to completely get the complete essence and energy of the soul beast."

"The Soul Spirits I gave you can produce upto four black soul rings. But personally, I suggest you to only have your Soul Spirit give you three soul rings, and use the remaining energy to upgrade your other lower level soul rings."

Rayne briefly explained.

"Soul rings can be upgraded?!" Xiao Chenyu exclaimed in shock.

You know, his first soul ring, which is a white soul ring of only 80-years-old, was a deep pain in his heart.

Especially after attaining his current strength with Rayne's help, this white soul ring was like a stain on him.

Hearing Rayne say that his soul ring can be upgraded, he was very happy.

"Thank you so much, leader! We'll do our best to repay your grace to us!" The triplets bowed down and thanked.

They have known Rayne long enough to know that he won't take back what he gave.

So, even though they feel that they haven't done anything that is worth these soul bones and Soul Spirit, they accepted it with the determination of doing their best to repay Rayne and contribute to the organization.

After talking for a bit more, Rayne dismissed them, and asked them to go to the Ouroboros academy to register.

Before leaving, Xiao Chenling, who was used to being silent, seem to have remembered something.

"My Lord, on our way back, we met a peculiar triplet sisters who had just awakened their martial souls. One of them came to us and wanted to join our organization. She said that she knows you."

"Oh? What's her martial soul?"

"It's an ultimate martial soul, Holy Dragon-Scaled Archerfish and innate full soul power. And we suspect that she has another martial soul as well."

Hearing this, Rayne raised his eyebrows, then smiled.

"I think I know them. Did you bring them to our city?"

"Yes, my lord. I've brought all three of them back and registered them in the Ouroboros Junior Soul Master Academy."

"I see. By the way, what are the martial souls of the other two girls?"

"One of them is almost the exact same as the before mentioned girl. The other girl has a mutated martial soul, a bow with sacred and water attributes and innate full soul power. It's a never before seen martial soul. Those at that Spirit Hall branch named it Sea Angel Bow."

Xiao Chenling recollected.

"The people at spirit hall didn't try to keep those girls? They are pretty obsessed with the sacred attribute." Rayne asked curiously.

"They did at first, my lord. But after that girl reported your name and their willingness to join our organization, no one bothered us."

"What are the names of those girls?"

"It's Ye Qingwu, Ye Guli and the girl with a bow martial soul is called Ye Guyi."

Xiao Chenling replied respectfully.

"Ye Guyi... Don't tell me... No, the system hasn't given me any notice. So it should be just a coincidence." Rayne muttered to himself.

The name Ye Guyi reminds him of a certain 2.0 Qian Renxue from the Peerless Tang Sect novel.

Pushing away this thought from his mind, Rayne turned to the girl.

"I see. Thank you for your hard work. You can go back now."

"Yes, my lord." She bowed, the turned and left.

...

Right after they left, the door opened again.

A stunningly beautiful woman walked in elegantly.

She had long blue hair that reached down to her buttocks, and a similarly blue beautiful eyes.

She was dressed in a long blue dress with full sleeves. The dress wasn't very loose, so they highlighted her voluptuous and sexy figure.

As she walked in, her plump red lip pursed as she glanced at Rayne.

Especially seeing his heavenly face, she had a slight blush on her cheeks.

This stunningly beautiful woman was Ah Yin.

"Young master, was it okay to give away so many high-level soul bones like that?"

"No problem at all. I have better ones anyway. I'm not losing anything here, since strengthening them is the same as strengthening the organization indirectly." Rayne responded in a casual tone.

"By the way, is it done?"

"Yes, young master. Energy gathering is done. The array you had set up is finally complete."
