Battle Souls, Awaken
The butler led us to the library of the mansion, where they could speak undisturbed in a quiet environment. After everyone took a seat, he spoke.
"So, second young master… what is it your friends wished to ask?"
"It's regarding Battle Souls," I cut in, taking this conversation into my own hands. "I want to know more about them."
Faced with my serious expression, the butler smiled, ever-so-slightly.
"Mm, that is quite the advanced topic. If I may ask, you are not an Ancestral Mage yet, yes? Why do you want to know about them now?"
Tch… Long Lu asked me the same question.
"This is a good opportunity and I don't know when I'll get to meet another experienced Golden Monarch to teach us about them," I replied. "Besides, if I learn about them now, I can pretty much skip the Ancestral Mage stage and go directly to Golden Monarch when the time comes."
