This Is Completely Backward!

"We're back."

Ling Xi was sitting in a tree, hugging her knees with both arms, her chin resting on them as she stared at Xu Yichen with a cute, dazed expression.

Even in the darkness, her breathtaking beauty could not be concealed.

No matter how Ling Xi's personality changed, that adorable, airheaded look remained.

"We're back. Come on, let's sleep."

Xu Yichen took Ling Xi's soft hand and returned to the tent.

It was another night of hard work.

The next day.

The group found a dark-attribute spirit beast for Zhu Zhuqing, nearly six thousand years old.

Zhu Zhuqing absorbed it with ease, and her Soul Power Level directly rose to level thirty-eight.

Even Zhu Zhuqing found it absurd. Her Soul Power had risen far too easily.

Not long ago, she had been a level twenty-seven Soul Grandmaster. In just a few days, she had transformed into a level thirty-eight Soul Elder. It felt like a dream.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xu Yichen with deep gratitude.

"Haha, train hard. Maybe while we're in Suotuo City, you'll even obtain your Fourth Soul Ring."

"Get yourself a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring then. You'll scare everyone to death."

Zhu Zhuqing and the others could now absorb their second Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, but Xu Yichen did not want them to absorb Soul Bones too quickly. That would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. They would spend a few days having fun at the Great Soul Arena first.

With two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones and Immortal Herbs, if they still could not absorb a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring as their Fourth Soul Ring, they might as well smash their heads against a wall.

"Can I do it?"

Meng Yiran asked curiously. Her third Soul Ring was only a little over two thousand years old, though thankfully, she had an External Soul Bone.

"You can, but you need to build up your foundation for a while longer."

"Okay."

"Let's go. Back to Suotuo City. I have another gift for you."

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance. Though both knew the other had a full set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, another set had appeared now. They were still utterly shocked. Whose family wholesaled Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones?

Elsewhere.

Xiao Wu also returned to the group.

"Xiao Wu, are you all right?"

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu anxiously.

Xiao Wu took a step back. "I'm fine."

Xiao Wu had already made her choice. To her, Tang San was only her brother now, while her mother was the person closest to her.

"What's wrong?"

Tang San frowned slightly. He felt that after Xiao Wu's return, there seemed to be an extra layer of distance between them. Had something happened while she was away?

Tang San shook his head, thinking he was overthinking it. After all, what was there for spirit beasts and humans to talk about?

"Xiao Wu, how did you escape?"

Zhao Wuji was astonished. He had thought Xiao Wu was dead. She had been taken by the Titan Giant Ape and still managed to return.

"After I was captured, a massive bull-headed creature appeared. It might have been a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast too. It fought the Titan Giant Ape, so I took the chance to escape. I even obtained my third Soul Ring."

"Wonderful! Xiao Wu, your luck is incredible."

Even Zhao Wuji was envious of Xiao Wu's luck. Two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!

This truly was the Star Dou Great Forest. Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts appeared everywhere.

"All right, let's leave immediately while we can. This place is too dangerous."

"Okay!"

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others nodded hurriedly. If not for obtaining Soul Rings, they would not have wanted to remain here for even a moment. The Titan Giant Ape from last night had put them under far too much pressure.

They had no ability to fight back at all. They were like ants before it.

After traveling for an entire day, Xu Yichen and the others returned to the hotel before nightfall.

"Yiran, this is your enrollment gift. And this one is an Angel Martial Soul Transformation Pill. It can transform your Martial Soul into the more powerful Angel Martial Soul."

"Really?"

Meng Yiran became excited. She had heard Zhuqing and Rong Rong mention such a miraculous pill before, but she had never expected to receive one herself.

"Of course. This is Angel Academy's enrollment gift."

Meng Yiran immediately took the Angel Martial Soul Transformation Pill and easily transformed her Martial Soul into a Dragon Serpent Angel.

The Dragon Serpent Angel was dark green. It held a Dragon Cane in its right hand and a Serpent Cane in its left, seemingly inheriting the Martial Souls of both her grandfather and grandmother.

"Wow, I never thought it would be like this. Even my grandfather's Martial Soul appeared."

Xu Yichen explained the knowledge of Companion Martial Souls once more.

"So that's how it is."

Meng Yiran nodded.

"I heard your grandfather and grandmother have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Your Dragon Serpent Angel possesses both the Dragon Cane and Serpent Cane. Maybe you can release that Martial Soul Fusion Skill by yourself."

"Can I really?"

Hearing Xu Yichen say that, Meng Yiran began looking forward to it. If she learned that Martial Soul Fusion Skill, then Soul Ancestors would be no match for her. Perhaps she could even defeat a Soul King.

"You can try. Normally, when one person releases a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it's called a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Generally speaking, only Soul Masters with Twin Martial Souls can use it, such as Pope Bibi Dong. As for whether she has studied it, I don't know."

Xu Yichen believed Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor could produce a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill. It was just that Bibi Dong herself had never researched it.

During the Legend of the Dragon King era, hadn't Wu Siduo been able to use the Hell White Tiger by herself?

During the Ultimate Douluo era, Lan Mengqin could also use the Martial Soul Fusion Skills Dance of the Ice Phoenix and Emerald Phoenix on her own.

He could have Bibi Dong try it later.

"Okay. When the time comes, I'll learn from Grandpa and Grandma. If I can master it, it'll be a powerful trump card."

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat envious as well. Unfortunately, she could not do the same.

Xu Yichen noticed Zhu Zhuqing's envy. Zhu Zhuqing still desired great power. Fortunately, she had a good temperament and a mature mind. Otherwise, she might have become an Evil Soul Master.

"All right. Though a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill is powerful, the strongest thing is still your own strength."

Then, when Meng Yiran saw the complete set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, she was so excited that she fainted on the spot.

Xu Yichen's mouth twitched. A complete set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones was certainly valuable, but there was really no need to faint.

He woke Meng Yiran.

Meng Yiran immediately wrapped her arms around Xu Yichen's neck and kissed him.

Xu Yichen was utterly bewildered. Why did they all like forcing themselves on him? Wasn't this backward?

This was completely backward!

Xu Yichen did not indulge Meng Yiran. With a swift turn, he pressed her beneath him.

The three girls behind them were dumbfounded by the sight.

"Is the dean going to show off his manliness in front of us?"

Ning Rongrong tugged on Zhu Zhuqing's sleeve.

"No way, right?"

Xu Yichen planted a heavy kiss on Meng Yiran's forehead, leaving a red mark.

Then he sat up.

"What are you doing? Do you really think I'm some creature that thinks with its lower half?"

"Ahem."

"It's nothing, nothing."

"All right, your Soul Power Levels are quite high now, but they've risen a little too quickly. This Secret Technique is for you."
