Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, five years had gone by.
Over those five years, everything had changed considerably.
Zhao Ming's cultivation had broken through level thirty. In fact, his strength had already reached level thirty two years ago, but the system had never issued a mission telling him how to obtain the Third Puppet. As a result, Zhao Ming's strength had remained unchanged for the past two years. However, with the accumulation of those two years, once Zhao Ming obtained his third Soul Ring, his cultivation would soar directly. In addition, his Soul Refining Art was expected to have reached the fourth stage, giving him a total Soul Power reserve four times that of an ordinary level-thirty Soul Master.
Compared to Zhao Ming, whose cultivation had not budged for years, Xiao Wu had broken through to Soul Elder before him, reaching level thirty-one Soul Elder.
Flame Spirit Princess had completely awakened. She was no different from a normal person now, possessing normal thoughts and the ability to act. She simply could not cultivate on her own. Once her life force reached its maximum value, a Puppet devoid of thoughts and emotions had become a true living being.
Still half-asleep, Zhao Ming felt a pair of warm, soft little hands moving over his face.
Feeling those warm hands, Zhao Ming could not help recalling last night's wild scene, and a wave of tenderness filled his heart.
When he opened his eyes, an incomparably beautiful face appeared before him.
"You're awake?" Seeing Zhao Ming suddenly open his eyes, Flame Spirit Princess smiled dreamily.
"What do you think? Didn't you wake me up?" Zhao Ming grinned, preparing to pull Flame Spirit Princess into his arms.
But Flame Spirit Princess had no intention of letting him have his way.
