As for the three years, it was just to make sure Yu Xiaogang wouldn't believe it, so I deliberately gave him a longer timeframe.
If it weren't for the fact that it became a Martial Soul and was subject to the system's restrictions, preventing the use of evolution points to convert the essence of the sun and moon...
Otherwise, Lin Qing would definitely spend millions, even tens of millions, to directly help Yu Xiaogang break through to the Title Douluo level.
In this state, I can't even use the storage space, nor can I eat. Staying inside Yu Xiaogang's body every day is very uncomfortable.
On the other hand, one must conserve spiritual energy. In the world of Douluo Continent, the recovery time for spiritual energy is very slow, taking several days to recover.
Lin Qing sensed that soul power and spiritual power were different. Lin Qing absorbed soul power and converted it into spiritual power at a moderate speed, but the conversion efficiency was very low.
For example, if you try to exchange 1 RMB for pounds, you can only get 10 cents worth of pounds.
If we don't conserve our spiritual energy, what if a god suddenly appears and kills Yu Xiaogang? We must be prepared for any eventuality.
Yu Xiaogang smiled and walked out of the room toward Xiao San and the others' dormitory.
Since Lin Qing appeared, the smile on his face has never stopped. He has a wife, strength, talent, everything. How could he not be all smiles?
The next day, at the entrance of the academy, the seven students of Slime Academy, Dean Flander, Vice Dean Liu Erlong, Vice Dean Zhao Wuji, and Yu Xiaogang were all present.
Tang San checked his luggage and said, "I've checked all my belongings."
Ning Rongrong glanced at Xiao Wu and exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Wu, why is your braid a little crooked!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu blushed and stammered, "Ah, this, this..."
At this moment, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and smiled slightly. The latter blushed, smiled, and then lowered her head.
Oscar, as if he had discovered something, teased the mistress in an extremely surprised tone, "No way, mistress, could it be that you...? Oh~~~!"
Tang San immediately explained, "It's not what you think."
Oscar laughed and said, "Yes, that's right, it's not what I imagined. You don't need to explain, everyone understands."
Tang San: "Stop talking nonsense."
At this moment, Flander couldn't hold back any longer. It was already unbearable enough to see Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong showing off their love like that.
Seeing teenagers flaunting their love, he immediately said, "Alright, all of you, perk up! You're all level 40 already."
"This time, we're going to hunt spirit beasts for you to obtain spirit rings that suit you, so that you'll have a greater advantage in the Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament."
Yu Xiaogang, holding Liu Erlong's hand, also spoke up: "Ahem, let's set off for Sunset Forest immediately."
"Although there are four of us accompanying you this time, let me make it clear beforehand that you will be responsible for hunting the soul beasts yourselves. We will not intervene."
Then, the seven students from the Slime Academy, along with four teachers, set off together toward Sunset Woods.
Evening, the setting sun in the woods.
In an open space, two large tents were set up, and several bonfires were lit.
Flander: "The task of keeping watch tonight is entrusted to you seven little monsters. You can make your own arrangements."
Tang San: "Hmm!"
Yu Xiaogang said from the side, "Xiao San, although we didn't encounter any large soul beasts this afternoon."
"But there's no guarantee we won't run into them at night, so we still need to be extra careful."
Tang San: "Yes! I understand, teacher."
Liu Erlong entered the tent and saw four makeshift beds inside. Zhao Wuji and Flander were already asleep on the two makeshift beds on the right side.
At this point, only the two beds on the left remained. Liu Erlong blushed slightly upon seeing this, but felt extremely happy.
Then he chose the leftmost bed on the ground. Not long after, Yu Xiaogang also lifted the curtain and walked into the tent.
Seeing that only the makeshift bed next to Liu Erlong remained, he didn't say anything and just lay down with a grin.
Facing Liu Erlong, the two of them just looked at each other, it was truly a massive display of affection.
However, Liu Erlong was the most ruthless. She took the initiative and slowly moved to Yu Xiaogang's side, embracing him with one arm.
The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms. On the other side, Zhao Wuji was truly asleep, but Flander was still awake and suffering terribly.
Outside the tent, Dai Mubai stood guard alone again. He had already made arrangements with Xiao San: he would keep watch for the first half of the night, and Tang San would keep watch for the second half.
This way, the rest of the people can maintain a good state of rest.

"Something's up, everyone be careful!" Suddenly, Dai Mubai's slightly hurried voice came from outside the tent.
At this moment, Liu Erlong was awakened by the noise outside. He clenched his fists, glanced at Yu Xiaogang, and then immediately got up.
She angrily retorted, "How dare you disturb me? You're asking for death!"
Liu Erlong lifted the curtain and stepped out of the tent. Her eyes swept across the area and she saw the culprit who had disturbed her.
Several flames chased after Dai Mubai, who could only dodge in a sorry state. The gap between the two was too great, and Dai Mubai leaped into the air.
A flame struck Dai Mubai squarely. Upon seeing this, Tang San immediately summoned his martial soul, several strands of Blue Silver Grass, to wrap around Dai Mubai and pull him back.
Dai Mubai landed in a safe place and said, "A suitable one has come to our door! Little San, this is a soul beast that is at least four thousand years old."
The scorpion-like soul beast unleashed its skill, sending a beam of fire directly towards Dai Mubai and his companions.
Just as Dai Mubai activated his spirit ring and prepared to unleash his spirit skill, a figure rushed forward.
"You dare bother me? I'll make you regret ever being born!" Liu Erlong gathered her soul power in her fist and threw a punch.
He directly sent the soul beast flying, and the latter rolled a few times before standing up and confronting Liu Erlong.
Tang San: "This should be the King of the Earth, bloodthirsty, a fire-attribute soul beast, with a cultivation level of around 4,500 years, which is just right for us."
Liu Erlong wasn't about to let it go so easily; seven spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, and black—rapidly rose up.
Liu Erlong slammed his fists down on the ground, and a magic circle appeared out of thin air: "Seventh Soul Skill, Crimson Dragon True Form".
A true dragon, its entire body a deep blue, with purple-blue flames burning on its back, soared through the air.
Then, Liu Erlong started her stomp mode. Shi Sha was beaten to a pulp by Liu Erlong, and was tortured to the point of being on the verge of death, falling in front of everyone.
Liu Erlong: "Hey, little fatty, it's yours now."
Ma Hongjun: "Give it to me?"
Liu Erlong: "Hmm! You're also a fire elemental, so this is perfect for you."
Dominated by Liu Erlong's gaze, Ma Hongjun took out a dagger, stepped forward, and plunged it into the bloodthirsty man's neck. Then, he sat cross-legged and began absorbing the soul ring.
Liu Erlong: "Alright, all done, Xiaogang, let's go back and rest!" Then she pulled Yu Xiaogang into the tent.
Before leaving, he glared fiercely at Flander and Zhao Wuji, who immediately gave an awkward smile and decided not to go back to sleep.
Flander: "You all go to sleep. Ma Hongjun is about to absorb a spirit ring, so I'll protect him."
Zhao Wuji: "Ah, haha, I'm not used to sleeping in the tent, so I just found a place to sleep. You guys go back to your tents!"
The next day.
Liu Erlong, holding Yu Xiaogang's hand, came out of the tent. She looked at the fat man who had just finished absorbing the soul ring, immediately let go of his arm, blushed, and ran to wash up.
The rest of the group looked at Yu Xiaogang with mischievous grins. "Ahem! Everyone pack up, go wash up, and get going as soon as possible."
Tang San: "Okay, teacher."
An hour later, Yu Xiaogang and his group slowly walked through the forest, intensifying their search for suitable soul beasts.
As they walked, a pinkish poisonous gas began to spread, and Tang San waved his hand and stopped.
Gradually, the fog enveloped them all: "Oh no, there's poison in the fog."
Flander and Liu Erlong immediately gathered their soul power and bombarded the surroundings, which dispersed the mist. However, within a few seconds, the mist enveloped them again.
Yu Xiaogang: "Be careful, everyone. They are Pink Ladies, the soul beasts, and there are no fewer than a thousand of them."
Liu Erlong: "What is Pink Lady?"
Yu Xiaogang: "The Pink Lady is a kind of soul beast similar to a shoe. They live in groups and generally rarely attack humans on their own initiative."
"Because their bodies are pink and transparent, they are known as Pink Ladies. Each clan has about a hundred Pink Ladies, led by the most powerful clan leader."
Flander: "What are the attack abilities of this kind of soul beast? Is it just poison?"
Yu Xiaogang: "Yes, their poison is not strong but it is very special. It is a kind of stimulant toxin. Once you inhale too much, it will deplete your life force."
"Furthermore, there is a Pink Lady in this group."
Tang San: "Pink Lady?"
Yu Xiaogang: "The Pink Lady is a variant of the Pink Lady. It requires more than three thousand years of cultivation and must have devoured at least a hundred of its own kind."
"I just don't understand why these pink ladies are so hostile towards us; it seems like they're here to ambush us."
Tang San suddenly remembered something and said, "Teacher, do you think it might be because of that Earth King last night?"
"The Earth Queen, like the Pink Lady, is a scorpion-type soul beast, so it might be related to her."
Yu Xiaogang pondered, "Could it be that this pink lady is the companion of the Earth King from yesterday? Soul beasts have their own unique communication methods."
"Perhaps the King of Earth emitted a scent when he died, which informed the Pink Lady."
Upon hearing this, Flander laughed and said to Liu Erlong, "Heh, you abused someone's husband, and now they've come for revenge."
Liu Erlong: "Revenge? Fine, then I'll fight my way out and make them a pair of lovebirds destined to die together."
Upon seeing this, Yu Xiaogang immediately reached out to stop Liu Erlong: "Leave it to me. Since you dared to ambush us, you should be prepared to die."
"Yesterday I broke through to the Soul Emperor level, so it's a good time for me to try out my sixth soul skill."
Yu Xiaogang's spirit rings rose, and six yellow spirit rings appeared: "Sixth Spirit Skill, Dragon's Might!"
As soon as the soul skill was released, the pink mist around them instantly cleared away, and countless pink ladies around them were all pressed to the ground.
Even the clan leader, Pink Lady, was pinned to the ground, unable to move at all.
Those who were unable to move included Flander and his companions, who possessed beast-type martial souls, as well as Ma Hongjun and Liu Erlong, who possessed divine beast-type martial souls.
As for the others, they only felt a strong oppressive force, but it wasn't directed at them, so they were free to move around.
Liu Erlong: "Xiao Gang, quickly stop your soul skill, I can't move now."
