Now that he was awake, Liu Xiaoxiao did not go back to sleep. Instead, he stepped out of the tent.

From Xie Yue's memories, he already knew that he was currently in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Traveling with him were his younger sister, Hu Liena, and Chen Fang, who had reincarnated as Yan. In addition, his Soul Emperor Teacher was secretly watching over them.

They had come this time because he and Hu Liena had broken through to Level 30 and needed to obtain their third soul rings.

Before reincarnating, he had already obtained a soul ring and broken through to Level 31. Therefore, only Hu Liena still needed a soul ring.

Liu Xiaoxiao quietly left the camp. He planned to first get used to his current body so that he would not reveal any flaws. There was still quite some time before dawn, and as long as he returned before then, there would be no problem.

Chen Fang had the same idea. He too secretly left the camp and headed in Liu Xiaoxiao's direction.

However, neither of them knew that Xie Yue's Soul Emperor Teacher had already noticed and quietly followed them.

In a clearing, Liu Xiaoxiao cautiously observed his surroundings.

He knew very well how dangerous it was to travel alone in the darkness. Although this was only the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, where ten-year and hundred-year spirit beasts were more common, they could still encounter a Thousand-Year Spirit Beast. With his strength, he was not yet a match for a Thousand-Year Spirit Beast in a one-on-one fight.

After confirming that there were no spirit beasts nearby, he summoned his Moon Blade Spirit, and his soul rings appeared beside him.

Two Yellow, One Purple—the optimal soul ring combination.

As his First Soul Ring lit up, Liu Xiaoxiao threw out his moon blade.

After flying forty meters away, the moon blade returned along its original path.

This was his First Spirit Ability, Spinning Blade.

Then, his Second Soul Ring lit up, and the moon blade grew three times larger.

This was his Second Spirit Ability, Giant Blade.

Next, he threw out both moon blades at once. The two blades unexpectedly fused together, then separated again and flew back into his hands.

Third Spirit Ability, Blade Fusion.

Of course, his abilities were not limited to this. These were merely the most basic applications.

Then, following the methods in his memories, he began to practice.

Because his memories were exceptionally clear, he quickly became proficient. From his initial awkwardness to now, he could already use all three spirit abilities at once. However, doing so consumed a tremendous amount of Soul Power.

At that moment, Chen Fang also arrived at the clearing.

Why are you here? Liu Xiaoxiao asked mentally.

He did not dare speak aloud. It would be bad if he attracted a spirit beast.

Same as you. I came here to practice my spirit abilities, Chen Fang replied mentally.

Huh, what's that? At that moment, Liu Xiaoxiao keenly noticed a figure concealed in the forest behind them.

Probably the teacher leading us, Chen Fang said mentally.

How about this? Let's pretend we arranged to come out and practice fighting. Let's have a spar. I'll help you get familiar with your spirit abilities, Liu Xiaoxiao said.

"Alright." Chen Fang summoned his Flame Lord Spirit, and two yellow soul rings appeared beside him.

Liu Xiaoxiao threw out his moon blade, attacking Chen Fang from afar. Chen Fang's First Soul Ring lit up as he used his First Spirit Ability, Flame Body.

Then, Chen Fang blocked the moon blade's attack with his fist.

Liu Xiaoxiao's First Soul Ring lit up, recalling the moon blade.

Next, Liu Xiaoxiao threw out both moon blades. At the same time, his Second Soul Ring lit up, enlarging both blades.

Chen Fang's Second Soul Ring also lit up. His body rapidly expanded, blocking the attack.

Flame Lord's Second Spirit Ability, Earth Expansion.

From beginning to end, Liu Xiaoxiao had not used his full strength. With his current Soul Elder-level strength, if they truly fought, it would be easy for him to injure Chen Fang.

After confirming Chen Fang's strength, he directly used his Third Spirit Ability, Blade Fusion.

Of course, he still did not use his full strength.

Even so, Blade Fusion directly shattered the Earth Shield. In the end, Chen Fang barely withstood Blade Fusion's attack with the power of Flame Body.

By then, the sky had begun to brighten. Neither of them dared delay and immediately ran back toward the camp.

As for the Soul Emperor Teacher secretly following and protecting them, he merely assumed that Xie Yue wanted Yan to help him test the Third Spirit Ability he had just acquired. He paid it no mind and followed them back to camp.

Not long afterward, a graceful young woman entered Liu Xiaoxiao's tent. It was Hu Liena.

So beautiful... Is that my younger sister? Liu Xiaoxiao secretly swallowed.

"Liu Xiaoxiao, hold on. Don't fall into temptation." Chen Long's voice rang out.

Hearing Chen Long's words, Liu Xiaoxiao hurriedly came back to his senses.

"Brother, get up." After saying that, Hu Liena turned and walked out of the tent, leaving behind a dazed Liu Xiaoxiao.

Liu Xiaoxiao composed himself and walked out of the tent as well.

After breakfast, the group packed up camp and continued deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

They encountered many spirit beasts along the way, but most were ten-year and hundred-year spirit beasts. Liu Xiaoxiao merely released a little of his Soul Elder-level aura, frightening those spirit beasts into avoiding them.

Nearly half an hour later, Liu Xiaoxiao suddenly sensed an aura. He stretched out an arm to stop the other two and said, "Stop."

Hearing Liu Xiaoxiao's words, the two quickly stopped.

Liu Xiaoxiao stealthily headed in one direction, with Chen Fang and Hu Liena close behind.

"That is..." Hu Liena rejoiced inwardly. "A Thousand Year Jade Faced Fox!"

The Thousand Year Jade Faced Fox was the same type as Hu Liena's Demon Fox Spirit, and its age of just over a thousand years was perfectly suited for a Third Spirit Ring. Naturally, it was an excellent choice.

Liu Xiaoxiao and Chen Fang understood this as well. They immediately exchanged hand signals and moved into action.

After the three silently circled around to three different directions, Liu Xiaoxiao gave a signal. They swiftly summoned their spirits and surrounded the Jade Faced Fox.

The Jade Faced Fox reacted swiftly. In an instant, it darted toward the gap between Chen Fang and Liu Xiaoxiao, trying to escape.

But how could Liu Xiaoxiao let it flee? He immediately used his Second Spirit Ability, Giant Blade, and Third Spirit Ability, Blade Fusion.

Using both spirit abilities at once immediately consumed more than half of Liu Xiaoxiao's Soul Power.

However, their power was immense. In only an instant, the Jade Faced Fox suffered grievous injuries.

Then, Hu Liena's Second Soul Ring lit up. Immediately afterward, streams of flame flew from her hands toward the Jade Faced Fox.

Hu Liena's Second Spirit Ability, Fox Fire.

The Jade Faced Fox had already been severely wounded by Liu Xiaoxiao's earlier attack. Struck by Hu Liena's blow, it collapsed to the ground on the spot, and a purple soul ring emerged from its body.

Hu Liena walked over. After recovering her Soul Power for half a quarter-hour, she reached toward the soul ring and began to merge with it.

Liu Xiaoxiao and Chen Fang stood on either side of her, guarding her.

Absorbing the soul ring did not take long. Soon, Hu Liena stood up, with three soul rings—Two Yellow, One Purple—glowing around her.

"Let's go," Hu Liena said.

Liu Xiaoxiao and Chen Fang nodded. Then, the three headed together toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
