Return to Spirit City

God Realm. The fierce-looking woman took a deep breath.

She was none other than the Rakshasa God, a First-Class God of the God Realm who wielded Ultimate Evil Power and Resentment Slaughter.

Recalling the scene she had just witnessed, the Rakshasa God's body trembled slightly.

"He clearly died thirty thousand years ago. Why has he appeared again?"

The Rakshasa God murmured, her expression shifting unpredictably.

After a long while, she finally sighed. "Forget it. It has nothing to do with me anyway. But Kindness and Evil are in for trouble."

Star Dou Great Forest.

Luo Ling came back to his senses, having no idea what had just happened.

What was the Primordial Devil? And who was that woman?

Shaking his head, he looked up and saw that Bibi Dong's Soul Body Thread had returned to normal.

The black aura had vanished.

Bibi Dong also felt completely refreshed.

Her entire body felt much lighter, and she seemed far more energetic.

"Teacher, did you see anything just now?" Luo Ling asked instinctively.

"See what?" Bibi Dong replied in confusion.

"Nothing. I must have seen it wrong." Luo Ling hurriedly brushed it off.

So I was the only one who saw that scene? he wondered to himself.

Bibi Dong did not know what Luo Ling was thinking, but touching Luo Ling's Soul Body Thread had swept away the gloom in her heart.

"Xiao Ling, if you notice something wrong with my Soul Body Thread again in the future, help ease it for me regularly," Bibi Dong suddenly said.

Luo Ling came to his senses and nodded with a smile. "Of course. It is only right that I help Teacher with her burdens."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong looked at Luo Ling in satisfaction. The more she looked at this disciple, the more she liked him.

By then, Qian Renxue had long since left, and Yan had finished absorbing his Soul Ring. He ran over excitedly.

"I've obtained my third Soul Ring!" Yan said excitedly.

"Yan, what effect does your Third Soul Skill have?" Xie Yue asked curiously from the side.

"My Third Soul Skill is called Hell Flames. It's an attack skill!"

Without hesitation, Yan immediately activated his Third Soul Skill.

Dark crimson flames instantly erupted from the ground like pillars of fire, carrying scorching lava with them.

"Hell Flames erupt from underground and can catch enemies off guard. Depending on the number of Soul Rings I have, it can attack multiple enemies at once."

Yan said smugly.

This skill was one of the Earth Flame Bear's signature abilities. It was extremely powerful, and most importantly, it could catch opponents by surprise.

"Congratulations." Luo Ling nodded in approval.

Xie Yue and the others were also happy about Yan's new Soul Skill. Gradually, night fell.

Looking at the darkening forest, Bibi Dong instructed, "All right. Only Xie Yue still needs a Soul Ring. It's already dark, so we'll rest here for the night and continue tomorrow."

No one objected. They took tents from their Soul Tools and set them up.

"Xie Yue, you and Yan will take turns keeping watch," Bibi Dong instructed before entering her tent.

"Just the two of us?" Yan asked, glancing at Luo Ling beside him.

"Are two people not enough?" Bibi Dong shot Yan a glare.

Yan wanted to say more, but Xie Yue stopped him, and he said nothing further.

The group then began to rest.

Three days later.

With the combined efforts of Luo Ling and the other three, they finally hunted down a 1,700-year-old Sword Bee for Xie Yue. As a result, Xie Yue broke through to become a three-ringed Soul Elder.

It was worth mentioning that Hu Liena was still level 29 and had failed to break through to level 30.

After Xie Yue obtained his Soul Ring, Bibi Dong did not immediately take everyone back. Instead, she had Luo Ling and the other three continue training in the Outer Area.

Hu Liena in particular. Bibi Dong was very dissatisfied with her first disciple and personally drilled her, refusing to let Luo Ling and the others help.

No matter how pitiful Hu Liena looked, Bibi Dong remained unmoved.

As Hu Liena fought century-old soul beasts alone, Luo Ling and the other two did not remain idle either, each finding soul beasts to practice against.

The difference was that Xie Yue and Yan could only handle soul beasts around 1,500 years old, while Luo Ling alone could toy with them effortlessly.

With Night Raven Feather and Darkness Weaving, ordinary millennium soul beasts could not even get close to Luo Ling.

Luo Ling looked like a gentleman out for a leisurely trip. He merely stood there and watched his Raven Shadow Puppet fight the soul beasts.

Later on, Luo Ling joined the battle himself. After Martial Soul Fusion, he began fighting millennium soul beasts in close combat.

Though he could toy with these soul beasts from afar with ease, he had no intention of becoming a ranged mage who could only cast skills.

Gradually, Luo Ling's combat techniques became more refined. He exited Martial Soul Fusion and summoned the Raven Shadow Puppet again, sending them both into battle.

After advancing to Soul Grandmaster, Luo Ling's Spiritual Power had increased greatly. He could barely control the Raven Shadow Puppet while fighting with his own body at the same time.

He had truly begun to split his attention between two tasks.

With the enhancement of Soul Liberation, even 5,000-year-old soul beasts were no longer Luo Ling's opponents.

A 5,000-year-old soul beast was already equivalent to a Soul Ancestor among soul masters, and was even stronger than an ordinary Soul Ancestor.

Yet before Luo Ling and the Raven Shadow Puppet, they could only meet bitter ends.

Such formidable combat power made Bibi Dong and Ghost Douluo feel more and more that Luo Ling was a monster.

This could no longer be described as mere talent.

And so, the group remained in the Star Dou Great Forest for another three days.

Three days later, Luo Ling and the others returned to the Gathering Place.

After leaving the forest, they retrieved the carriage they had left at the post station and swiftly headed toward Spirit Hall.

Their return journey was much faster than their trip there.

The next day, the group returned to Spirit City.

"Xiao Ling, you should all go back and rest."

"Oh, right. You have been my disciple for a year now, and I have taught you everything you need to learn. From now on, attend Spirit Hall Academy with Na Na and the others."

"I will follow Teacher's arrangements in all things." Luo Ling had no objections.

Though he felt that Spirit Hall Academy would not be of much help to him.

After all, Spirit Hall Academy's cultivation environment was merely a Mimicry environment, while Spirit Hall itself possessed even better Secret Realms.

Even if he enrolled, it would likely just be for appearances, to prepare for the future Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition.

Luo Ling did not care, but Hu Liena was delighted. She had long been wondering when Luo Ling would be able to attend Spirit Hall Academy with her.

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to Spirit Hall Academy." Bibi Dong nodded.

"Teacher! Let me take Little Ling to the academy tomorrow!" Hu Liena volunteered eagerly.

Bibi Dong glanced at Hu Liena. Thinking that she had been away from Spirit Hall for a long time and likely had many accumulated matters to handle, she did not reject Hu Liena's proposal.

The group then went their separate ways and returned to their residences.

After returning to his residence, Luo Ling took a bath and then lay directly on his bed.

The past several days of training had indeed left him exhausted.

He took out a book from his Soul Tool.

It was an illustrated guide to Immortal Herbs that he had copied from Chrysanthemum Douluo a year ago.

Now, he could begin preparing to obtain the Immortal Herbs.

A glimmer of excited red light flashed through his eyes.
