Chapter 2 Roommate, Ah Yin

But then Ye Wen asked, "Grandpa, how did you know that my innate soul power is not just level four?"

With a display of knowledge on his face, he said slowly,

"Xiao Wen, although you will know this knowledge in the future, I will tell you today that the division of elements in the Douluo Continent includes the seven main elements and several other rare elements, three superior elements, and four inferior elements. The three superior elements are light, darkness, and space, and if the martial spirit has any of these three elemental attributes, it is called an advanced martial spirit. While it couldn't clearly state how high the innate soul power an accompanying soul martial would have, it said the innate soul power attached to it was extremely high, and level four innate soul power could only be considered average, so your innate soul power must be at least level 5 or higher."

When it came to level 5 or higher, the joyous expression on Ye Buyi's face deepened. Obviously, he is very optimistic about Ye Wen's future and is sure to become a glorious person. Moreover, as long as martial arts with spatial characteristics are well developed, they will still be very popular on the continent, even if they lack attack power.

Although Ye Buyi is very happy now, Ye Wen is a bit disturbed and said in a monotonous voice,

"But Grandpa, my innate soul power is high, but I can't use this ancestral meditation method. After all, my martial spirit underwent a mutation and must be different from your will scarf cultivation method?"

Ye Buyi didn't take Ye Wen's concerns seriously and said cheerfully,

"It's okay, it's okay. The so-called meditation methods are actually very similar. They all involve visualizing one's own martial spirit and then using condensed soul power to continuously refine and transform the martial spirit. The meditation method inherited by our family is just a summary of our ancestors' various experiences and techniques, so even if your martial spirit undergoes a mutation, it won't have much impact on using this meditation method. It was painstakingly written step by step by our ancestors, but I heard that some of the major forces have a more comprehensive map of soul power meridians in the body, but unfortunately, they never opened it to us civilians, sadly."

Then Ye Buyi began to teach Ye Wen step by step meditation, and Ye Wen also saw various records about the soul power meridian channel in this meditation method, and was surprised.

"Although it seems a bit incomplete, the main body has the prototype of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine theory."

As he continued to understand more, Ye Wen also understood that this soul power channel is actually the so-called meridians, and these meridians determine the total amount of soul power in the soul master's body, and the martial spirit itself determines the training direction of the soul master and the lower limit of their strength.

Under Ye Buyi's guidance, Ye Wen also learned how to conceal his soul mark. Although Ye Buyi was not powerful at all, after years of experience, Ye Wen also understood that the essence of a soul master's battle lies in intelligence. Once the opponent's intelligence is fully understood, you can defeat the opponent based on their weaknesses. Therefore, do not expose your own intelligence willingly. For those with knowledge, it is easy to deduce the weaknesses of the soul master.

For example, if the enemy has a fire attribute, use the water attribute to counter it, and vice versa. There is also the type of enemy martial spirit, which can be used to guess the direction in which the enemy excels, in order to assess and counterbalance the opponent.

Additionally, Ye Wen did not tell Ye Buyi about his twin martial souls. On one hand, he was concerned that the old man couldn't handle the surprise, and on the other hand, he didn't want to worry him. After all, there are currently no examples of successful cultivation of twin martial souls on the continent, and he was so young that if Ye Buyi knew about it, he might worry about falling into the foolish act of hunting for the soul ring of the second martial soul to increase his strength.

Ye Wen was meditating tirelessly in the months leading up to the start of classes. Ye Wen obviously also felt the transformation of his martial soul, but the quality of his soul power was still only at level ten. Ye Buyi said that the main reason was that elders couldn't handle stimulation as they aged. Now that we live with such hope, maybe we can live longer.

And as he continued to practice, Ye Wen also found that memories from his past life that he had gradually forgotten began to appear clearly in his mind. Ye Wen was a bit perplexed. Perhaps this was the compensation for not having a golden finger in the time travel.

During this period, Ye Buyi gave Ye Wen a simple ring and a bag of gold coins and said, "Xiao Wen, seeing you grow up, I know you are an extremely intelligent child. Following me to the city to learn about the world, I have seen it all, so these two things will be entrusted to you for safekeeping from now on. This is our family's final legacy. This bag contains 700 gold soul coins. They are the allowances of soul masters that your father and I saved over the years. There is also the knowledge about martial souls that I, an old man, managed to gather. But this knowledge is also known to the teachers. In the innocent battle between soul masters and nobles, all you need to do is continuously improve your soul power, hunt soul rings, and restore the glory of our ancestors. I will always be here looking after you in the Holy Soul Village. Work hard, boy."

He sent Ye Wen to school. He encountered no difficulty from the guard as in the original work, and everything went smoothly.

Although the family is rich, after all, their wealth is not revealed. Ye Wen still entered college as a working student and lived in the criticized mixed neighborhood of Datongbu.

Although there was no need for the porter to make things difficult for him or to be an apprentice to the so-called master, it seemed that tacit rules among working and studying students existed decades ago. The stout, fat little man blatantly blocked Ye Wen at the dormitory.

"A new working student?"

Ye Wen said calmly, "What are you doing?"

"Since we are all working and studying students, we are easily targeted by those nobles, so we must unite, and to unite, we must have a leader. I am now the head of this Sanshe. If you defeat me, you will be the head. If you don't accept, you will be my younger brother from now on. You will do everything I ask."

Although he had known this situation for a long time, Ye Wen still pretended to be thoughtful and said, "I see. If you want to fight, let's fight. But this place is cramped after all, so let's fight outside, otherwise, we'll break the bed later and have to pay for it to the school."

In an instant, the large dormitory was empty, and they arrived at the small playground outside.

"Possessed by a martial spirit, my name is Chen Pi. The martial spirit is a lone wolf and a fourth-level warrior spirit." I saw the arrogant fat little man Chen Pi speaking.

In contrast, Ye Wen looked very indifferent. He raised his hands in a Xingyiquan stance and said, "Ye Wen, Wuhun Black Cloth, a fifth-level soul warrior."

"Are you looking down on me? You're seeking death?"

Chen Pi roared and rushed forward. Although he was short, his fat figure immediately made the people around him feel that this person was formidable.

Ye Wen just stood there, as if frightened, but no one else knew that Ye Wen couldn't stir his heart when he saw Chen Pi rushing recklessly.

Although he had been a medical student in his previous life, that didn't mean Ye Wen was not proficient in martial arts. On the contrary, as a college student, his mentor was a martial arts master. During the weekends, he enjoyed teaching Ye Wen and other youths to practice Wuqinxi in Chuanwu. Additionally, flowers called home should not be so delicate but should be strong and healthy.

Although Wu Qin Xi Xing Yi Quan might appear to be just a martial arts fitness regimen, Ye Wen knew it also contained deadly moves—it all depended on who was using it.

And as there was no internal strength and mental abilities like Tang San in the time travel, young Ye Wen started practicing Wu Qin Xi in his free time to enhance his innate soul power. Though he didn't feel the so-called soul power, it played a role in strengthening his body. However, this kind of physical strengthening wasn't unlike bodybuilding in Europe and the United States. On the contrary, it made Wen's figure more streamlined, smooth, and perfect.

Soon enough, Chen Pi appeared three steps in front of Ye Wen.

Without saying a word, he raised his sharp claws, attempting to throw Ye Wen to the ground.

But in an instant, Ye Wen's eyes turned fierce, as if a hungry tiger was staring at Chen Pi, forming an invisible power.

However, everyone present except Chen Pi didn't wait to feel this. Then they saw Ye Wen advance and use the Black Tiger's Piercing Palm instead of a normal strike to mitigate the force, which was directly imprinted on Chen Pi's chest, knocking the wind out of him and rolling on the ground.

Even though he didn't use soul power or the standard use of Black Tiger's Heart Piercing, this palm alone caused a child of no more than six years to cry out in pain and stay on the ground unable to get up for a long time.

In an instant, everyone present fell silent.

"Now, I, the leader, will step forward if anyone has objections," Ye Wen said with fierce eyes.

Immediately, everyone was frightened into silence and quickly retreated.

After all, they were young children who hadn't grown up and would get scared if things got a bit more aggressive.

Then Ye Wen looked at Chen Pi, who had been lying on the ground for a long time and still hadn't recovered, and said, "You can accept it. If you don't accept it, I'll give you another chance to challenge me. If you accept, you are not allowed to disobey me."

At this moment, Chen Pi, looking into Ye Wen's eyes, was obviously afraid, but he didn't dare resist and nodded quickly.

"After accepting, you'll be the leader of our third dormitory from now on." Ye Wen showed a satisfied look upon seeing the newly recruited boy comply. Then he entered the dormitory and chose a bed near the window to settle in.

At that moment, a pleasant voice came from behind and said, "Is this Sanshe?"

Unconsciously, he turned his head and looked, immediately unable to avert his eyes. He saw a girl who resembled a porcelain doll standing there at the doorway; she had long, straight blue hair like silvery-blue grass. Although still young, she was already a rare beauty. More importantly, she exuded a temperament that was calm and friendly.

Meanwhile, Chen Pi, the former chief and now the number one younger brother, began to assert his presence again.

"Are you also a new work-study student? This is the third dormitory. I'm the second son of the dorm. You can also call me Second Brother Ah Yin," he said awkwardly.

"Oh?" Ah Yin smiled.

The slightly clumsy Chen Pi realized he was blocking the door and quickly stepped aside, saying, "Oh, come in."

Ye Wen, the dorm chief who remained silent, was deep in thought at this moment. Throughout the Douluo series, the name Ah Yin was also unique, along with her innate unique temperament and her Blue Silver Grass spirit. This could mean she might have to meet the protagonist's mother in advance, which would be a big problem.

Seeing Ah Yin put her luggage on the bed next to him, Ye Wen's eyes grew more determined at this moment.

Whether public or selfish, he had traveled to the Douluo world, and the course of this original world was beginning to undergo significant changes. This was the so-called butterfly effect.

To be honest, Ye Wen never quite liked the role of Third Young Master Tang. Superficially, he was a humble gentleman, but secretly, he was a sinister villain.

When he entered Nordin, he wanted to kill the guard over a minor dispute. He wanted to kill Yu Xiaogang because he suspected his twin martial soul might be harmful to him.

A gentleman?

And after witnessing the failure of the Wuhun Palace and the unparalleled performance of the so-called Dou Er, Ye Wen completely gave up on this scum. After all, the so-called Tang Sect itself was a murder sect that used insidious weapons. The so-called benevolent heroes were simply unrealistic, and as an ordinary person who grew up under the banner of the Red Revolution, to be honest, this feudal aristocratic era was truly unacceptable.

So, at this moment, Ye Wen decided to change the future of this world from now on. Perhaps this was the meaning of his coming to this world.

At this moment, Ah Yin also began to introduce herself gracefully.

"Hello everyone, my name is Ah Yin. My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and my soul power is—"

"If your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, judging from the books I've read before, your soul power shouldn't exceed level two. However, as long as we're here, we won't allow the nobles to intimidate you. If you don't understand anything in the future, you can ask me. Understand? We come from humble backgrounds, so we must stick together; otherwise, any noble will look down on us. The rule is that our actions should be united as much as possible in the future. Although we may not be able to defeat the so-called elders, we can intimidate some weaker nobles," Ye Wen suddenly interrupted.

Ah Yin was momentarily stunned. She only wanted to introduce herself briefly; why was she being interrupted? But after hearing what Ye Wen said later, she just nodded in understanding.

The group of roommates, who were also freshmen, was now very convinced by this new chief. After all, they used to be weak-legged and without any inheritance. Suddenly meeting such a dominant chief, they would naturally agree unconsciously.

Next, Ye Wen used the soul chicken soup that diligence can make up for clumsiness to allow everyone in the dormitory to start their own cultivation.

Seeing the messy dormitory finally calm down, Ye Wen slowly walked up to Ah Yin.

Ah Yin, who was tidying her own bed, looked at Ye Wen approaching with a trace of doubt on her face, tilted her head, and said softly, "What's the matter, Chief?"

Looking at the cute lolita in front of him, Ye Wen suddenly understood why Tang San in the original work was so obsessed with the dance party.

Regarding the description of Xiao Wu in the original text, it wasn't hard to imagine how lively, active, pure, and beautiful Xiao Wu was, although her violent temperament was truly unbearable. But for Tang San, who was born into the perverse and tortuous Tang Sect and had a tragic fate, tarnishing this beauty or protecting it might have become a subconscious thing in his heart.

Ah Yin, on the other hand, was a different kind of beauty. She had not fully blossomed yet, but her beauty was not like that of ordinary people; she had a touch of nobility and gentle temperament. As an adult soul, it was hard not to be moved.

"No, no, the little lolita is the best, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, gentlemen like us should be punished by death."

Pushing aside the disturbing thoughts from his mind, Ye Wen became a bit more solemn and whispered next to Ah Yin's ear, "Come out with me. I have something important to tell you."
