The seasons changed, from cold to heat, through summer and autumn.

"Wood Plant City", [Green Leaf初级Soul Master Academy].

As the familiar bell rang, Ethan Lillian and Ethan Anno, now in their fifth year, walked out of the classroom, chatting and laughing with a few classmates.

Three years ago, neither Lillian nor Anno would have believed that among their cheerful classmates, there would actually be self-funded students.

But at this moment, everyone felt that this scene was quite ordinary.

"Lillian, I heard from my brother that Brother Yi reached the tenth level of Spiritual Power a few days ago. Is that true?"

Because he started a year later, Ling Yi was a few months older than Lillian and Anno, but he was in a lower grade.

Logically, the fifth-year students should have called the fourth-year Ling Yi a junior. However, after three years, in the entire [Green Leaf初级Soul Master Academy], apart from the sixth-year seniors, all the students, whether they were first-year freshmen or fifth-year veterans, would sincerely call Ling Yi "Brother Yi."

After three years, Lillian, now ten years old, had grown a lot, with less childishness in her features. With the improvement in relationships among classmates, she had many close friends to chat with, and her face always wore a bright smile. Due to her Pl魂「Emerald Feather Bird」, her hair was a vibrant green, and her small, agile figure, bouncing around, made her seem like a happy lark.

Hearing her friend's question, Lillian immediately puffed out her chest, her face full of pride, and loudly replied, "Yes! Brother Yi broke through to the tenth level three days ago. When he told Teacher Yuan the day before yesterday, Teacher Yuan was very surprised!"

"Oh my God—!"

"It's really true—?!"

"That's amazing—!!"...

As Lillian spoke, the surrounding students, regardless of gender, all showed expressions of surprise, admiration, and worship.

Compared to the emotional admiration of the girls, the boys gathered around Anno, chatting with this fellow townsman of Brother Yi.

"I remember that Brother Yi's innate Spiritual Power was only half a level, but now his cultivation speed is probably comparable to that of the excellent students with innate Spiritual Power of three or four levels, right?" a freckled boy exclaimed with shining eyes.

"About that~" Anno nodded and said, "Brother Yi's classmate Yun Lan, who has innate Spiritual Power of three levels, only broke through to the ninth level two months ago..."

"It's really hard to imagine that Brother Yi's 「Blue Silver Grass」 Pl魂 would have such characteristics..." another boy said enviously.

Now, the entire [Green Leaf初级Soul Master Academy]... no! The entire "Wood Plant City" knew that there was a child with the 「Blue Silver Grass」 Pl魂, whose innate Spiritual Power was only half a level, but because of the easy-to-grow and common nature of the 「Blue Silver Grass」, it could easily create a unique 「Mimetic Training Ground」 for the 「Blue Silver Grass」, which could significantly boost the speed of Spiritual Power cultivation.

Over the past three years, Duke Mu Feng of the Waterwood Principality, Lord Kelvin of the Wood Plant City Pl魂 Main Hall, and several Marquises had invested considerable human, material, and financial resources to search for people with the 「Blue Silver Grass」 Pl魂 and innate Spiritual Power throughout the principality.

This was just the public effort. Privately, people like Duke Mu Feng and Lord Kelvin had even extended their reach into parts of the Tian Dou Empire. Some unnamed Count-level figures were also searching, either to keep the talents for themselves or to offer them to Duke Mu Feng or Lord Kelvin in exchange for resources, which was a good deal.

However, after three years, among the more than four thousand people in the Waterwood Principality with the 「Blue Silver Grass」 Pl魂, only about eighty had innate Spiritual Power, a probability of less than two percent!

Among these eighty people, not a single one had innate Spiritual Power of one level. Over fifty were between twenty and fifty years old, about ten were over fifty, eight were teenagers, and eleven were under ten.

In fact, the search for people with the 「Blue Silver Grass」 Pl魂 and innate Spiritual Power had already lost its urgency more than a year ago throughout the Waterwood Principality.

At the beginning, about ten people under twenty years old were found and placed in specially created 「Blue Silver Grass-Mimetic Training Grounds」 for cultivation. The results showed that their cultivation speed did indeed increase, but the degree of increase varied from person to person. Some increased by about ten percent, while others saw only a one or two percent increase.

No one's speed matched that of the lucky Ling Yi, whose cultivation speed had doubled!

Some people had raised doubts, suggesting that Ling Yi might have other secrets, otherwise, how could the difference be so significant?

At this point, Master Jin, one of the three great craftsmen of the principality, stood up.

Master Jin described to Duke Mu Feng and other high-ranking officials what it meant to have exceptional insight and intelligence, a talent inherent to humans beyond their Pl魂 qualifications!

Don't believe it?

Master Jin admitted that he didn't fully believe it at first either.

Three years ago, on a certain day, his fifth disciple, Wang Meng, brought Ling Yi to him, saying that Ling Yi had mastered the thirteen moves of the [Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique] in just one day.

Master Jin, who had lived for over seventy years, had seen and heard everything.

Moreover, he trusted his fifth disciple, Wang Meng, in terms of character and integrity.

Thus, with some doubt, the old master demonstrated the thirty-six moves of the [Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique] to Ling Yi.

The result was clear. Apart from the twenty-fifth hammer, which he lost control of due to insufficient strength, causing the hammer to fly out, which was a reasonable mistake, Ling Yi fully demonstrated what it meant to be a genius to Master Jin.

He learned and mastered everything immediately!

In subsequent interactions, Ling Yi further showcased to Master Jin and his disciples what it meant to have a photographic memory, to apply knowledge to new situations, and to innovate.

In addition to Master Jin, the teachers of the [Green Leaf初级Soul Master Academy] also stood up to corroborate the fact of Ling Yi's remarkable intelligence.

Over the three years, Ling Yi not only learned through the teachers' classroom instruction but also read books in the library on the top floor of the teaching building, mastering all the Pl魂 and soul beast information available at the [Green Leaf初级Soul Master Academy]. He even discussed with the teachers and developed a more complete and systematic educational plan, which helped the students of all grades at the [Green Leaf初级Soul Master Academy] learn more and retain knowledge better!

These teachers, who came from various backgrounds and were associated with various factions, naturally had a higher level of credibility in the eyes of the factions.

Thus, the matter of the 「Blue Silver Grass」 Pl魂's cultivation speed was largely concluded.

At most, Duke Mu Feng or Lord Kelvin might continue to privately cultivate the dozen or so tools they had already gathered, ensuring that their three years of investment were not entirely wasted.

And in the eyes of the various factions in "Wood Plant City," Ling Yi, in addition to being labeled as a 'lucky one,' was now also tagged with the label of 'intelligence.'

Apart from that, no one paid much attention to this mere Soul Scholar.

Yes, a rather lucky, intelligent, and capable high-level blacksmith Soul Scholar who could forge hundred-refinement-grade fine weapons.
