Reentering Star Dou

The next morning.

Qian Renxue took Ling Yuxuan to the Worship Hall to find Qian Daoliu.

"Grandpa, I brought Xiao Xuan over."

"Xiao Xuan, we're getting ready to leave. Our destination is the Star Dou Great Forest. Xiao Xue, stay home and wait for us."

"Mm-hmm, Grandpa, Xiao Xuan, make sure you come back soon!"

Qian Daoliu took Ling Yuxuan and transformed into a streak of golden light, shooting into the sky.

At Qian Daoliu's speed, the two arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest in less than half a day.

"Xiao Xuan, have you decided what kind of soul beast Soul Ring you want?"

"Mm... Grandpa Qian, my Martial Soul seems to be guiding me. There seems to be a soul beast suitable for me to the east."

Not again. Why was Xiao Xuan's situation exactly the same as Xiao Xue's back then?

Ling Yuxuan could not see it at the moment, but a miniature Judgment Seraph mark was flickering on his forehead.

However, Qian Daoliu saw it clearly. He was greatly shocked inside. That was a divine mark—Ling Yuxuan was a god's inheritor.

"Alright, we'll listen to Xiao Xuan. Let's head east."

The two set off toward the east.

Qian Daoliu flew high in the sky with Ling Yuxuan, searching below for soul beasts that met the requirements.

"Grandpa Qian, I can feel it. It's in the Valley below."

The two landed in the Valley. The entire Valley was empty, and the farther they went in, the higher the temperature became.

Inside a cave, they discovered a Blazing Armor Raging Sun Rhinoceros that was around five thousand years old.

"Xiao Xuan, are you sure it's this one?"

"Mm-hmm, Grandpa Qian, I'm sure it's this one."

Qian Daoliu thought to himself that since it was divine guidance, it should not be wrong.

"Alright, Grandpa will drag that beast out for you right now."

In less than thirty seconds, the Blazing Armor Raging Sun Rhinoceros from inside the cave was lying feebly before Ling Yuxuan.

"Xiao Xuan, kill it."

Ling Yuxuan did not hesitate too much. Soul masters hunted soul beasts to increase their own strength; that was simply the law of cultivation.

Ling Yuxuan activated Martial Soul Possession. Four pairs of wings grew from his back, and the Angel Holy Lance appeared in his right hand. With one thrust, the Blazing Armor Raging Sun Rhinoceros completely lost its breath, and a purple Soul Ring condensed above its corpse.

Ling Yuxuan sat cross-legged and used his Soul Power to draw the Soul Ring onto himself.

An hour later, Ling Yuxuan successfully absorbed it and stood up.

"Grandpa Qian, I succeeded."

Satisfaction appeared in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

"Not bad, not bad. Xiao Xuan, what soul skill did this Blazing Armor Raging Sun Rhinoceros give you?"

Ling Yuxuan's First Soul Ring lit up. The Angel Holy Lance in his hand instantly turned red, and an explosive aura emanated from it.

"Grandpa Qian, my first soul skill is called Angel Raging Sun Strike. Its effect is to increase my strength by seventy percent and my piercing power by fifty percent. There's a fifty percent chance of ignoring physical defense. It gathers Explosive Energy onto the lance, and after the lance hits an enemy, it can inject that energy into their body, causing an explosion from the inside out."

Qian Daoliu's mouth twitched. Was a first soul skill really this overpowered?

"Hahaha! As expected of Xiao Xuan. You really haven't disappointed Grandpa. We shouldn't delay any longer—we'll find your second Soul Ring next."

"Mm-hmm, alright, Grandpa Qian. We'll go north next. There are soul beasts suitable for me over there."

The two arrived at a special forest filled with vast amounts of Light Attribute Energy. The herbs growing on the ground were enormously beneficial to the cultivation of light-attribute Martial Soul possessors. Outside, they were the kind of treasures one could only stumble upon by chance, yet here they could be seen everywhere.

Their target was the Illusory Light Winged Dragon deep within the forest.

A super soul beast, the Illusory Light Winged Dragon possessed the innate ability Illusory Light Insubstantiality and belonged to a subdragon species.

Qian Daoliu released his terrifying pressure and forced the pitiful Illusory Light Winged Dragon to the ground.

But Ling Yuxuan suddenly said to Qian Daoliu:

"Grandpa Qian, could you seal off the surroundings first? I want to use this soul beast to test my actual combat ability."

"Mm, you can. Grandpa will keep watch. Even if this beast escapes, I can catch it again. But this Illusory Light Winged Dragon is already over nine thousand years old, so be careful when dealing with it!"

"Mm-hmm, I understand, Grandpa Qian."

With that, Ling Yuxuan directly activated Martial Soul Possession. Wings extended from his back, and the Angel Holy Lance appeared in his hand.

A trace of disdain appeared in the Illusory Light Winged Dragon's eyes. A mere child wanted to hunt it? Even if it could not survive today, it would drag someone down with it!

The Illusory Light Winged Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a stream of dragon breath.

Ling Yuxuan was not that foolish. With a wave of his left hand, the Angel Light Shield appeared in it. The wings behind him flapped rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the Illusory Light Winged Dragon's side. The Seraph Domain unfolded, boosting his attributes. The Teleportation skill activated, bringing him to the Illusory Light Winged Dragon's back. His First Soul Ring lit up, and the Angel Holy Lance turned completely crimson. He thrust it down, injecting Explosive Energy into the Illusory Light Winged Dragon's body. The Illusory Light Winged Dragon roared in pain, turned its head, and fired another breath attack at Ling Yuxuan. The Angel Light Shield stood before him and forcibly blocked the dragon breath. The Angel Holy Lance continued transmitting Explosive Energy into the Illusory Light Winged Dragon's body, and that explosive force successfully prevented it from activating its innate insubstantiality skill.

A cold smile appeared on Ling Yuxuan's lips. The time was about right. The Teleportation skill activated once more, this time taking him farther away from the Illusory Light Winged Dragon.

"It's time to send you on your way. Die without regrets!"

Ling Yuxuan reached out and clenched his hand toward the empty air.

"Explode!"

Terrifying energy instantly detonated inside the Illusory Light Winged Dragon's body.

Boom!

The explosion kicked up a huge cloud of dust. When the dust settled, only a deep-purple Soul Ring remained where the Illusory Light Winged Dragon had once been.

Even Qian Daoliu was stunned. Was this really something a six-year-old child could pull off? And wasn't the power of that explosion far too great?!

Ling Yuxuan sat cross-legged and recovered his Soul Power. That enormous explosion, combined with repeatedly using Teleportation, had drained all the Soul Power in his body. Fortunately, there was an abundance of Light Attribute Energy nearby, so his recovery speed was extremely fast.

Half an hour later, Ling Yuxuan opened his eyes and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

But the moment the Soul Ring entered his body, blood continuously seeped from the pores all over Ling Yuxuan's body. The Seraph Domain automatically unfolded, while the Judgment Seraph mark on his forehead shone without end.

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu prepared to inject his gentle Soul Power into Ling Yuxuan's body to straighten out his meridians. But the moment his hand touched Ling Yuxuan's body, it was actually bounced away.

Qian Daoliu's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"It seems Xiao Xuan can only rely on himself now."

Second by second, time passed, and Ling Yuxuan's condition gradually stabilized. The power of the Seraph drove away the resentment within the Soul Ring.

Five hours later, Ling Yuxuan slowly woke up.

"I succeeded."

His second soul skill had perfectly inherited the Illusory Light Winged Dragon's Illusory Light Insubstantiality. Once activated, his body became insubstantial, granting one hundred percent immunity to physical attacks and fifty percent immunity to energy attacks. It lasted half an hour and could be used three times a day.
