Yu Hao Leaves Home, Su Yu Plans to Leave

Below a hundred thousand years, one soul skill.

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, two soul skills.

By that logic, Three-Eyed Golden Lion could also guess that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had given him four soul skills.

"The fourth soul skill is called Ice: Emperor's Blessing, a purely support-type soul skill."

"Look."

As he spoke, Su Yu activated Ice Emperor's Domain once more.

The icy domain reappeared.

Then Su Yu activated Ice: Emperor's Blessing as well, and Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly felt that everything before her had changed.

Everything within the domain fell within her perception. She could see it all with perfect clarity.

"The effect of this skill is that everyone within the domain shares my perspective."

Su Yu said.

"In a sense, this soul skill is extremely powerful, especially when supporting teammates."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion praised.

This perspective, as though she had gained a heavenly eye, was truly delightful.

It was only because she was too powerful that Su Yu could do nothing to her.

Otherwise, within this domain, ordinary ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts would not have been enough to face Su Yu. They would not even have been able to find him.

"These four soul skills are all quite good, but they seem a little unworthy of the title of a Million Year Soul Ring."

"I think they're not as good as your first soul skill."

Three-Eyed Golden Lion was very frank and said whatever was on her mind.

Su Yu's first soul skill was what truly deserved to be called powerful. It was practically a divine skill.

"These four soul skills can all evolve. Most of the Million Year Soul Ring's energy has been sealed away."

"As my strength increases, the power and range of these four soul skills will increase as well."

Su Yu said with a smile.

"Ah? Then that's quite impressive." Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly understood. No wonder.

She had been wondering how a Million Year Soul Ring could possibly be so simple.

"Your strength has increased quite a bit again." Three-Eyed Golden Lion was happy for Su Yu as well.

"Perhaps."

Su Yu smiled, then patted Three-Eyed Golden Lion's paw.

"Aren't you going to move your paw? Are you happy stepping on me?"

Su Yu rolled his eyes at Three-Eyed Golden Lion and said.

"You've ridden me so many times. What's wrong with me stepping on you once?"

Three-Eyed Golden Lion grumbled, but she still moved her paw away.

Su Yu sprang to his feet in one swift motion.

After dusting himself off, he stroked Three-Eyed Golden Lion's smooth fur.

"Come on, let's go have some fun."

Having just finished absorbing the Soul Ring, Su Yu only wanted to relax.

"Alright, let's go."

At the mention of going out to play, Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes lit up.

She bit down on Su Yu's arm, then gave a light toss, sending him onto her back.

Then Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned into a streak of Golden Light and vanished.

Watching Three-Eyed Golden Lion disappear, Bi Ji smiled and shook her head. It seemed that the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest would have no peace again today.

Time flowed like water, and several months passed in the blink of an eye.

Outside Star Luo City, at the Duke's Mansion.

The back gate on the northern side of the Duke's Mansion silently opened, and a small figure quietly slipped out.

He was a boy who looked eleven or twelve years old, with a well-proportioned build. He wore clean, simple gray cloth garments and carried a small bundle on his back.

His short black hair looked neat and crisp. Though his little face could not be called handsome, it bore a resoluteness beyond his years.

He was none other than Huo Yuhao, the owner of the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul.

Gently closing the back gate of the Duke's Mansion, Huo Yuhao hurried forward a few steps before suddenly stopping and turning back to look at the Duke's Mansion.

His deep blue eyes brimmed with intense hatred.

"Mother, watch over me from heaven. I will spend my entire life destroying the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and avenging you."

Huo Yuhao clenched his fists tightly, resentment surging wildly in his heart.

Several months had passed, and he was already eleven years old.

At last, he had raised the Soul Power of his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul to level ten.

All he needed was a Soul Ring, and he could become a true Soul Master.

Soul Master—this realm he had long yearned for was finally beckoning to him.

For this moment, he had worked hard for five years.

Five years. Do you know how he had spent those five years?

Do you?

His Innate Soul Power had only been level one. Even the least talented children in the Duke's Mansion could become Soul Masters within three years at most.

Only he had to cultivate bitterly for five years just to barely reach level ten Soul Power.

During that time, he had endured too much hardship and suffered too much bullying, but he had borne it all, one incident at a time.

Now that he had finally reached level ten Soul Power, he no longer needed to remain in this hateful place.

"One day, I will return. It is not to prove how extraordinary I am, but because I will personally take back everything I have lost."

"White Tiger Duke's Mansion, just wait."

Huo Yuhao silently swore in his heart. Then, his eyes slightly reddened, he left the Duke's Mansion without looking back.

Heading north, he soon set foot on the main road.

To the north of the Star Luo Empire lay the Star Dou Great Forest.

That was Huo Yuhao's destination on this journey.

He was going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain his first Soul Ring.

Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.

A bonfire had been lit in the open ground before the Lake of Life. Su Yu held a branch with two golden-brown roasted rabbits skewered on it.

Golden oil dripped from the rabbit meat, drop by drop, onto the bonfire below. It looked exceedingly appetizing.

Several months had passed, and Su Yu was already eleven years old.

His strength had also reached level thirty-seven Soul Elder.

He was only one step away from becoming a level thirty-eight Soul Elder.

After shifting his focus back to cultivating Soul Power, his rate of improvement had quickened as well.

At his current pace, raising five levels in a year would not be much of a problem.

Despite the effects of his Ultimate Martial Soul, Su Yu could still improve so quickly. His talent was evident.

Of course, it might also have had something to do with Su Yu's strong physique.

The reason Ultimate Martial Souls cultivated slowly was that their ultimate attributes were difficult for a Soul Master's body to bear, requiring more Soul Power to nourish and transform it.

Su Yu's physique had always been strong. His Ultimate Martial Soul affected him, but not as much as expected.

That was an unexpected delight.

He reckoned that his original estimate of himself might have been a little too conservative.

He took out the golden-brown roasted rabbits, sprinkled them with cumin and chili powder, then held them over the fire for a few more moments. At once, an unusual fragrance spread through the air.

"Alright, they're ready."

Su Yu took one rabbit and held it out before Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mouth.

"Eat it while it's hot. It's delicious."

Yet Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who was usually so fond of food, was not as eager as he had expected.

She stared at the roasted rabbit before her without touching it at all.

Her golden eyes merely fixed on Su Yu. Her crisp voice carried a trace of reluctance. "Are you really leaving the Star Dou Great Forest?"

A few days ago, Su Yu had suddenly said that he wanted to go to the human world to study, and that he would be gone for a long time.

That made her somewhat reluctant to part with him.
