"Hoo!"
Lin Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, a glint of light appearing in his eyes, his aura suddenly becoming much stronger.
"Breakthrough! Level 20!"
A hint of joy flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.
During the Spirit Ascension process, his soul power surged, allowing him to break through to level 20 in one fell swoop.
With a thought, Lin Xuan's Martial Soul, the Azure Leaf Sword Grass, appeared in his hand, while two yellow Soul Baskets rose behind him.
"Ding!"
Lin Xuan flicked his finger onto the Azure Leaf Sword Grass's leaves, the two colliding to produce a metallic sound.
With the upgrade of his Soul Spirit, the hardening of the grass leaves, which should have been his first Soul Skill, had now become a passive skill of his Martial Soul.
His first Soul Skill had now been upgraded to the Azure Leaf Sword Array, a ranged AoE skill.
Within a hundred meters, it could form a ten-meter radius sword array within Lin Xuan's designated area, where enemies would be subjected to the Azure Leaf Sword Grass's relentless attacks.
Even more surprising to Lin Xuan was the second Soul Skill provided by the Azure Leaf Sword Basket after his breakthrough.
Peerless Sword Dance!
This is the name of his second soul skill. It's an amplification skill.
The moment Peerless Sword Dance is activated, it applies a one-time mark to enemies within three meters. Breaking the mark guarantees a critical hit, doubling the damage.
Simultaneously, Peerless Sword Dance grants him a special status effect, increasing his speed and attack by 30%.
This skill is practically tailor-made for Lin Xuan in his current state.
Currently, Lin Xuan's main offensive method relies on his swordsmanship and physical strength to engage in close combat. His previous soul skills were only good for easily defeating weaker opponents; against true masters, they were useless.
Upgrading the Azure Leaf Sword Bamboo to a hundred-year soul spirit significantly enhances his two soul skills.
The second soul skill is self-explanatory, and even the first soul skill, Azure Leaf Sword Formation, compensates for Lin Xuan's lack of ranged attacks to a certain extent.
"It's a pity, though. After level 20, the difficulty of upgrading to a thousand-year level doubles."
Lin Xuan sighed, acknowledging that everything has its advantages and disadvantages.
He put away his martial spirit and left the secret chamber. It was already late, and he had a class meeting that evening; he'd be late if he didn't go soon.
Although he hadn't planned to attend, he'd come out of the Spirit Ascension Platform early. It was the first day of school, and he had to give the homeroom teacher some face.
When Lin Xuan returned to school, it was completely dark. Bright lights illuminated the school buildings, and a few figures moved about in the corridors.
"I really miss it!"
Lin Xuan said wistfully, his hands behind his head.
In his previous life, his ten-plus years of schooling had felt boring and tedious, but looking back after graduation and entering society, he felt a different kind of joy.
This second chance at life wasn't bad!
A smile played on Lin Xuan's lips as he walked towards the school building.
First year, Class 1.
"Ring ring ring!"
After the bell rang, Lin Xuan leisurely walked into the classroom, which was already full.
He glanced around; the teacher's desk was empty, clearly the homeroom teacher hadn't arrived yet.
Well, as long as the teacher hadn't come, he wasn't late.
Lin Xuan instinctively walked towards the back of the classroom, but suddenly realized his spot was already taken. He scanned the classroom and found only the two main seats next to the teacher's desk were empty.
Reluctantly, Lin Xuan returned to the teacher's desk and settled the position of the left-hand side seat. At the back door, a burly boy saw Lin Xuan enter, his face showing surprise, then he looked at the thin boy beside him.
"Xiao Feng! Look at that new guy, isn't he the one who attacked us this afternoon?"
"Uh, I'm not sure!"
Wei Xiaofeng glanced at Lin Xuan and awkwardly scratched his head.
What was there to recognize?! He'd completely blacked out at the time and hadn't seen anything.
"It's him!"
Zhang Yangzi, standing in front, had a glint in his eyes, his tone certain.
A sword had struck him squarely; Zhang Yangzi's head was still buzzing. He'd never forget Lin Xuan's face, even in death.
"Hey! Handsome, what's your name?"
Lin Xuan had just sat down when a short-haired girl behind him poked his shoulder with a pen.
"Lin Xuan!"
He turned to look at the girl and said casually. He preferred fighting to talking to someone.
The short-haired girl was a little chubby, with a round face, but her radiant smile made a good impression.
"Lin Xuan? You're number 1 in our class! I didn't expect you to be so good-looking."
"Oh, right! My name is Yue Qingling, nice to meet you."
Yue Qingling's sudden outburst attracted attention, but she didn't care, instead happily extending her hand to Lin Xuan.
"Hmm, this hand is quite chubby, a whole size thicker than Lin Xuan's."
"Hmm!"
Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment, then finally extended his hand.
But he quickly regretted it, as Yue Qingling began chattering incessantly at him, like a machine gun firing off a machine gun.
"Hello, students! I'm your homeroom teacher for the next few years, Ye Yingluo!"
Just as Lin Xuan was getting dizzy from Yue Qingling's barrage, a beautiful teacher in a uniform skirt walked in.
She first introduced herself to everyone, then quickly wrote her name on the blackboard.
"Now let me get to know you all!"
"Now for the self-introduction session. Name, martial soul, soul power level, and personal strengths, etc., you can all talk about them. Anyone want to volunteer?"
Ye Yingluo smiled at the students below the stage.
This year's freshmen were generally much more talented than in previous years, with several even above level fifteen.
"Me! Me! Me!"
A cheerful voice came from behind Lin Xuan.
Yue Qingling raised her chubby little hand high, very enthusiastic.
"Hello everyone, my name is Yue Qingling, my martial soul is the Jade Sword, and my soul power is level sixteen. I want to become a Title Douluo, and my dream is to travel around the Douluo Continent and eat all the delicious food in the world..."
Yue Qingling confidently introduced herself to everyone, but unfortunately, the response from the audience was lukewarm, which disappointed her a little.
Next, more students eagerly went up to the stage one after another, but Lin Xuan was not very interested until a few familiar figures came up.
"My name is Wang Jinxi, my martial soul is the Bone Dragon King, and I am a level twenty-one battle soul master..."
"Zhang Yangzi, my martial soul is the Shadow Demon Eagle, and my soul power is level twenty-two."
"I am Wei Xiaofeng, my martial soul is the Green Snake, and I am a level twenty-one agility-type soul master. My specialty is speed..."
The three introduced themselves one by one on the stage. Among them, Zhang Yangzi stared at Lin Xuan, who was sitting at the front, with burning eyes, wishing he could go down and fight him on the spot.
So it was them!
Lin Xuan ignored Zhang Yangzi's gaze and seemed to be thinking.
No wonder these people dared to trick Xu Xiaoyu. These three people are quite capable. He remembered that in the original story, the three of them seemed to have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
If Lin Xuan hadn't tricked them today, the three of them could have secretly used the Martial Soul Fusion Technique to harm Xu Xiaoyu from behind, and they might have actually succeeded.
