Compassionate Soul Descent

"System, come on! You'd better give me the strength of a Dou Emperor this time!" Yun Shu said expectantly.

It was another three-million Lottery. As for the remaining five hundred thousand, Ya Fei had worn him down with her soft pleading, and after cooperating with Yun Shu to try some new positions, he gave it to her as pocket money.

"Ding! Lottery in progress..."

"Congratulations! You have obtained the Secret Ultimate: Compassionate Soul Descent!"

"Compassionate Soul Descent: Grants a target ally a shield capable of blocking the damage from the strongest attack the host can currently unleash. After channeling for 3 seconds, teleport to the ally's side. No cost. Cooldown: 180 seconds. (Decreases as the host's strength increases.)"

"Compassionate Soul Descent ally targets marked: None. A maximum of four ally targets may be marked."

"This is!!!"

"Kidney's Ultimate Move?!" Yun Shu said in astonishment.

How should he put it...

You could say this skill was useful, but the shield it generated could only block the damage of the strongest attack Yun Shu himself could currently deal.

If he encountered someone stronger than Yun Shu, then even if the person he had marked as an ally received this shield, it would be useless.

But if you said it was useless... it was also a teleportation-type spatial movement skill, with a cooldown of only three minutes. Most importantly, it had no cost.

"Whatever. Better than nothing!" Yun Shu sighed. This reward simply could not improve his strength; at most, it made traveling more convenient...

Yun Shu casually selected Ya Fei as an ally target and marked her.

"Hmm???" Yun Shu suddenly froze. After marking Ya Fei, something resembling a small screen suddenly appeared in his field of vision...

"This is!! Holy shit!!" Yun Shu exclaimed in shock at the image on the small screen.

He could actually remotely monitor targets marked as allies!!

The small screen displayed Ya Fei's current location, and Ya Fei herself was right in the center of the screen!

"Is this an unexpected bonus?" Yun Shu said with a strange expression. Wasn't this basically voyeurism...

Still, Ya Fei was his woman, so it did not really count as voyeurism. But if he used this skill to mark other women...

For example, Yun Yun, Xun Er, Medusa Queen...

"Huh?! That's exactly four people! No way!" Yun Shu was rather surprised. It seemed fate truly had its own designs!

Even the system had arranged it for him. In the future, it would take him only three seconds to reach the side of any of those four women...

"This is kind of interesting!" At that thought, the corners of Yun Shu's mouth slowly curled upward.

"Let's see if I can mark someone remotely!" Yun Shu designated Xun Er as an ally target.

"So it failed... Makes sense. If remote marking worked, that would mean I could spy on anyone in this world anytime, anywhere..." Yun Shu did not feel much about the failed mark, apart from a little regret.

Having failed to draw anything that could increase his strength, Yun Shu threw himself into cultivation once more.

This cultivation session lasted for over half a year.

During this time, Yun Shu also received a Birthday Gift Pack. More importantly, not long ago, his Fallen Heart Flame finally reached maturity.

Fallen Heart Flame: fire born from the heart, tempering qi and refining bones. Thus, those in the field also called it a cultivation cheat.

Once Fallen Heart Flame was successfully refined, it would continuously produce a kind of heart flame within the body. This heart flame would then continuously, without any need for control, day and night, at every moment, temper the Dou Qi within one's body. Through such unceasing refinement, it was as though the body was cultivating at all times.

Moreover, this state of cultivation was far more powerful and effective than ordinary meditation, which was why this Strange Fire was also called a cultivation cheat.

Only a week after Yun Shu's Fallen Heart Flame reached maturity, his strength had risen from the original Six-Star Dou Zhe to a Seven-Star Dou Practitioner.

And this breakthrough had not even happened through Yun Shu's conscious effort. He had merely gone to sleep, then inexplicably broken through the next day.

This made Yun Shu look forward to his future even more. Having obtained Fallen Heart Flame so early, his rate of improvement would definitely no longer fall behind Xiao Yan's.

Even if his talent was inferior to Xiao Yan's, he had this cultivation cheat constantly increasing the Dou Qi within his body, while his Soul Cultivation Method could strengthen Yun Shu's soul.

Yun Shu no longer had to worry about Xiao Yan surpassing him in strength.

After all, that brat would leap through ranks every time he devoured a Strange Fire, while Yun Shu had not cultivated the Flame Devouring Art...

Actually, it was simply that Yun Shu did not want to cultivate the Flame Devouring Art. While cultivating it and devouring Strange Fires would make one extremely powerful, it also meant enduring pain beyond ordinary imagination.

Yun Shu did not possess Xiao Yan's perseverance or mentality. Besides, he already had the system as a cheat, so there was no need to make himself suffer further.

"Little brother, Canaan Academy will be coming to recruit students in another half year. Do you want to go?" After finishing a day of cultivation, Ya Fei came to Yun Shu and asked him about it.

"Canaan Academy will be recruiting in half a year?" Yun Shu raised his brows. He had not expected so much time to have passed while he was immersed in cultivation. This also meant that Xiao Yan would leave the Xiao Family and venture out in another half year.

"By the way, has there been any news from the Xiao Family recently?" Yun Shu had barely visited the Xiao Family over the past half year. He had remained hidden in the Mittel Auction House, cultivating in seclusion.

Only Ya Fei was allowed to enter this place.

Thus, Ya Fei naturally became Yun Shu's only channel for learning about the outside world.

"The Xiao Family... That Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family recovered his former cultivation talent shortly before you entered seclusion. He really stole the spotlight during the Coming of Age Ceremony some time ago!" Ya Fei said with a smile.

"So the plot has progressed this far already..." Yun Shu thought to himself. In other words, Xiao Yan would break through to the Dou Zhe realm before long.

As for himself, he was already a Seven-Star Dou Zhe. With Fallen Heart Flame's help, Yun Shu was confident that he could break through to Dou Master before Canaan Academy began recruiting!

"Come here!" Yun Shu beckoned to Ya Fei.

"What is it, little brother?" Ya Fei asked in confusion as she walked toward Yun Shu.

"What is it? Don't you want to spend more time with your man?" Yun Shu looked at Ya Fei as she approached him, then suddenly grinned wickedly and pulled her into his arms.

"Good little brother~ I still have an auction to host this afternoon! How about tonight..." Ya Fei knew Yun Shu wanted her, and she wanted him just as much. But they were practically an old married couple already; it would be fine to wait a little. She still had important matters to handle that afternoon.

"Fine!" Yun Shu said helplessly. Ya Fei unconditionally supported all of his choices, so Yun Shu would not force Ya Fei to stay by his side as nothing more than a pretty vase.

Ya Fei wanted to rely on her own efforts to help Yun Shu, and naturally, Yun Shu would not oppose her.
