Soul Shattering Finger and Carefree Steps

After watching the morning sun rise, some of the gloom in Lin Li's heart dissipated. However, she soon felt an intensely unpleasant sensation: hunger!

The Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix was an exceptionally powerful Beast Spirit. Likewise, it greatly enhanced a soul master's physical abilities, but its daily demands on the body were also enormous!

Before she absorbed her First Spirit Ring, her spirit was restrained within her body, and she had not felt much. But now that she had obtained her First Spirit Ring and cultivated the Death God Art, which was highly compatible with the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix...

The faster circulation of Soul Power naturally increased her body's need for food.

It had to be said that the dormitory Ye Lian had given her was excellent. It had a bathroom, a toilet, and everything else she needed.

She hurriedly washed her face, but accidentally tugged at the bruises on her arm, making her hiss in pain.

The process of hunting the Nether Dark Crow had been far too wretched. She had known nothing of its strength, only that its Spirit Ring was highly compatible with the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix!

But she would never do something like that again. Looking at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, she saw that days of hardship had left her face terribly gaunt. If not for her natural looks, she would have looked like a skeleton!

She changed into a comfortable tracksuit and tossed the dress aside. Once dressed, she hurried toward the cafeteria of Saint Er Junior Soul Master Academy!

There were already some people eating in the cafeteria, including the bewitchingly captivating academy head, Ye Lian.

When Ye Lian saw Lin Li arrive, she smiled lightly. "Little Li'er is here!"

The cafeteria had three floors. Ye Lian usually ate on the third floor, but because of Lin Li, she had come down to the main hall.

Lin Li nodded. Ye Lian pointed toward the serving window and said, "Go get your own food there. As for the cost... since you're now the face of Saint Er Junior Soul Master Academy, you don't have to pay!"

There was a hint of teasing in her voice. Then, ignoring Lin Li's stunned expression, she quietly savored the small bowl of Thousand-Year Soul Beast Blood Spirit Swallow bird's nest soup in her hands.

Lin Li immediately went to the serving window. The sight before her caught her attention: more than ten dishes, nearly all made from Ten-Year Soul Beast meat.

She loaded her tray with sweet-and-sour Black-backed Mountain Boar ribs and fresh spicy stir-fried pork, then took several particularly appetizing buns before walking over to sit beside Ye Lian.

She wolfed down the food on her tray. Before she had even finished half of it, the person beside her leisurely tapped her on the head with her chopsticks.

Lin Li looked up at her and heard a casual voice say, "Li'er, you're a girl. Naturally, you should eat a little more ladylike! Although I don't really agree that girls must be gentle and refined when they eat... no matter the circumstances, maintaining elegance is a quality a strong person should possess!"

After saying that, Ye Lian gently drank the last bit of bird's nest soup from her bowl.

She glanced at Lin Li with amusement in her fox-like eyes, then swayed her waist as she headed toward the office.

Yet after turning her back on Lin Li, a trace of sorrow flashed through Ye Lian's eyes, though she quickly concealed it.

Naturally, Lin Li knew nothing of this. After she finished every last bite on her tray and happily drank a bowl of soup...

As her hunger faded, she vaguely heard a crisp sound. Her Soul Power instinctively gathered into a point and shattered it.

The Death God Art began circulating unconsciously. At that moment, Lin Li felt that her Soul Power had reached level fifteen. She was only five levels away from becoming a Soul Grandmaster!

She immediately returned to her dormitory and took out the Soul Shattering Finger and Carefree Steps. Perhaps because they were system-produced, she felt as though she had practiced every item from the system hundreds or thousands of times; she could use them the moment she picked them up.

The Soul Shattering Finger condensed Soul Power at the fingertips to defeat enemies. At mastery, a single finger strike could shatter a soul, making it incomparably domineering and vicious.

The Carefree Steps were similar to Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, but the footwork was light and agile. When performed, the user's figure became hazy like a veil of mist, leaving others unable to discern their direction.

Lin Li activated the Soul Shattering Finger. In only an instant, a layer of gray mist wrapped around her fingertips. The mist was so faint that it could almost be ignored.

Yet Lin Li clearly sensed that if she had used this move against that Nether Dark Crow before, it would have been shattered in an instant!

She could not help taking a deep breath. At present, there were no more than fifty Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent, even after counting all the worshippers of Sea God Island and Spirit Hall.

The conflict between the two great empires had begun centuries ago. Heaven Dou was weak, yet with the implicit support of the Three Great Sects, it could stand against Star Luo!

There was another reason as well: Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall would never allow the balance of conflict between the two sides to be broken. Bibi Dong even harbored ambitions of unifying the Douluo Continent.

But she was lovestruck. Lin Li had no fondness for Master Yu Xiaogang. Half the unjust cases on the Douluo Continent had been caused by him, while the other half had been caused by his disciple. This master-disciple pair was truly a scourge.

Lin Li had no particular plans for the future, but she set herself an almost impossible goal: to reach the Spirit King realm in six years, and the Soul Douluo realm in twelve!

Only then would she be confident of snatching the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well from Dugu Bo!

But that was not what she needed to think about now. She quietly closed her eyes and circulated the Death God Art to cultivate. She now planned to cultivate in two shifts: the Death God Art during the day and Star Attraction at night!

Time was tight and the task was arduous. She could only cultivate as if her life depended on it!

Thus, her days of going back and forth between the cafeteria and dormitory quickly passed. By then, the academy grounds, which had been silent for so long, had already become lively.

Lin Li opened her eyes and thought to herself, Could it be that the day school starts has arrived?
