The next day

Everyone went to the Saint Soul Grounds led by Xiao Yu, one of the three major testing grounds of Skysoul Institute.

This testing ground was in fact a spiritual well upon which was a huge altar with one hundred ninety-nine steps and a wide-open platform on the top.

It usually represents your ability to communicate with Heaven and Earth.

The higher you went, the denser was the Heavenly Energy but also harder to cultivate.

Most of the people only had the right to stay here for two hours each month. But the allowed time would become six hours if you ranked in the top 200, twelve hours for the top 150, one day if you entered the top 100, two days for the top 50, and three days for the top 20.

There was also a ranking, allowing people to stay longer and even giving them rewards if they entered in the top 5.

Everyone in their group had already formed their fate souls. They were here because this place had denser Heavenly Energy.

The group started to climb the steps.

It didn't take long for everyone to feel the pressure and one by one they sat down cross-legged to cultivate.

In the end, only Jason and Xiao Yu were left. With their current strength, they didn't need to do this but since everyone was giving it a try, they also followed them.

As they reached the 100th step, Jason's eyes landed on a girl, who seemed to be sixteen or seventeen years old, sitting cross-legged on the one hundred thirty-somethingth steps, cultivating. She was beautiful and wore a light cyan silk dress, with a white muslin robe over her shoulders that spread out on the ground like moonlight.

This beauty was a masterpiece by the gods. Compared to her, even Heaven and Earth looked dull.

Jason couldn't help but sigh as he had never seen such beauty in this world. Even Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'er, Huyan Lanruo, Yang Xin, and Yu Yan were a little inferior to her.

'What a beauty!'

As they continued to climb, Xiao Yu also couldn't able to take the 151st step and sat down on the 150th to cultivate.

Jason didn't stop and continued to move upwards unhindered. When he passed by Ying Yueru, he glanced at her before moving on.

"Excuse me!"

But a voice stopped him in his tracks. The voice sounded so sweet and angelic as it gave comfort to others' souls.

He slowly turned around and saw Ying Yueru looking at him.

"Yes?"

She revealed a pure smile from the corner of her mouth and asked, "Nice to meet you, what's your name? Do you know me?"

That piercing gaze seemed as though it could see through everything.

"I don't," Jason said as he shook his head. He could see that the girl was practicing Heaven's Divination and using it to see his destiny.

But it's a shame that he had the protection of the Goddess, keeping him safe from anyone like her.

The girl looked at Jason in astonishment. Did he really not know her? Her brows were slightly knitted together. She had definitely felt his gentle stare. It was different from others, devoid of improper intentions. Even now his eyes seemed very pure.

Although her cultivation wasn't terribly high, she had walked the Heaven's Divination path; therefore, she could calculate the destinies of those she met. However, Jason was the only exception. When she tried to calculate his destiny, all she saw was a blurry scene and endless darkness.

She pursed her lips and smiled. "My name is Ying Yueru. What's your name?"

When they saw that the girl had taken the initiative to speak to Jason, the surrounding disciples all had jealousy written all over their faces. They'd already been paying attention to her for a long time, but no one dared to approach her. They only looked at her from afar.

"Nie Li," Jason shrugged his shoulder and introduced himself.

The girl furrowed her brows, thinking of something but soon shook her head.

"Nie Li, what's going on? Do you know her?" Xiao Yu glanced at Ying Yueru with a wary expression as he transmitted his voice over to Jason.

"I don't. But I will soon." Jason chuckled, causing her to blush, and turned her head away.

Ying Yueru glanced at Xiao Yu as he turned, revealing a meaningful smile on her face. Her eyes turned back to Jason as she pursed her lips and smiled, "It appears that your friend doesn't welcome me. However, I've remembered your name, Nie Li. I believe that we'll meet again before long!"

"No. We'll not. Because if we meet, then I promise, I'll kiss you!" Jason smirked and walked away, ascending the steps, leaving everyone to stare at him in shock.

"What an interesting fellow!" Ying Yueru giggled, her smile so pure and enchanting.

Ying Yueru had a light and calm smile on her face as she proceeded down the altar. That charming figure of hers attracted everyone's gaze, fixing them onto herself.

That's just how elegant she was!

The surrounding disciples all watched Ying Yueru leave before retracting their gazes and glaring at Jason with enmity who ignored them.

He continued to climb and stopped at the last step. The Heavenly Energy was the densest and purest at the top. So, he sat down there and slept, taking a rest.

At the same time, the teachers who were paying attention to the Saint Soul Board were all shocked.

Nanmen Tianhai pondered for a brief moment, then said to Huang Yu, "I never expected this new guy to give us such a huge surprise."

Huang Yu replied, "Yes. He's indeed given us a huge surprise. Ranked first on the Saint Soul Board on his first try. Such talent is something we should especially protect."

Seeing his talent, the Skysoul Institute would definitely protect him and nurture him.

At the base, Long Yuyin, Jin Yan, and Yan Hao watched the list with surprised expressions, watching Nie Li's name rising until it reached the very top.

Three Days Later

Jason stretched his body, feeling refreshed after resting in a place with such dense heavenly energy for three days. After his time was over, he stood up and left the place.

When he exited the place, he was stopped by a group of ten people. Jason swept his eyes at the ten individuals. Nine of them had stepped into the Heavenly Fate Realm while the last was only in the Earth Fate Realm. He was approximately the same age as Jason.

The youth walked over as his gaze fell onto Jason. "You're Nie Li?"

Jason observed him and realized that it was the youth who was only in the Earth Fate Realm. "Correct. Who are you people and why are you looking for me?"

The youth closed in on Jason as he coldly snorted, "Brat, you must be tired of living. Someone from the Tiny World actually dared to be so impudent in the Skysoul Institute!"

Jason's face twitched when he heard him. 'Impudent? When did I act impudent?'

Jason thought that this guy must have a screw loose, so he ignored him before walking past him.

The youth's face turned green in anger and he took a step forward as he grabbed Jason by the collar. "Nie Li, you actually dared to have intention on my Long Yuyin."

"Your Long Yuyin?" Jason heard his words and suddenly realized his identity.

Hu Yong furiously glared at Jason. "Yes, my Long Yuyin. My name is Hu Yong, Long Yuyin's fiancé!"
