Azure Dragon Sword

The dagger was icy cold, its blade flashing with a chilling gleam.

Ye Tianxing stared expressionlessly at the dying Gale Two-Headed Wolf, though his heartbeat began to quicken.

He had not even killed chickens or ducks in his previous life, much less a Spirit Beast—especially a mutated top-tier Spirit Beast.

The Gale Two-Headed Wolf had mutated from a Gale Demon Wolf. Ye Tianxing thought of Feng Xiaotian, whose martial soul was also the Gale Two-Headed Wolf—a mutated martial soul with Innate Full Soul Power.

Unlike Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao. Would anyone believe that thing was a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?

Clang!

Just as everyone thought Ye Tianxing had put down the dagger because he did not dare kill the Gale Two-Headed Wolf, he pressed down into the air with his left hand. The Withered Wood Bow appeared in his grasp. As he drew it, a streamer-like bowstring extended from both ends of the bow and gathered in Ye Tianxing's hand. A sharp arrow tore through the air and pierced deeply through the Gale Two-Headed Wolf's skull.

Blood flowed freely as shattered bone flew everywhere. The Gale Two-Headed Wolf's eyes reddened with blood. It gave Ye Tianxing one resentful look before falling still.

"No more psychological burden."

Ye Tianxing smiled. He had not yet prepared himself to kill a Spirit Beast, but this still counted as killing one.

The few people present were briefly stunned. Yue Guan pursed his lips and smiled, while Lor Diarra tugged helplessly at the corner of his mouth and glanced at the dagger by his feet.

Was there really any difference between killing it with a dagger and killing it with a bow and arrow?

After the Gale Two-Headed Wolf died, specks of yellow light flickered from its corpse before finally gathering into a ring engraved with yellow demonic patterns, glowing with an eerie light.

"A Spirit Ring? It's a Spirit Ring!"

"So this is what a Spirit Ring looks like!"

"I've learned something today!"

Wu Xie and the others discussed it excitedly, as though the scene of the Gale Two-Headed Wolf's death had never happened.

"Little Xing, do as I explained before."

Lor Diarra gestured for Ye Tianxing to sit before the Spirit Ring, personally teaching him how to absorb it.

Sitting cross-legged with both hands raised toward the sky, Ye Tianxing guided his Soul Power and began communicating with the Gale Two-Headed Wolf's yellow hundred-year Spirit Ring.

This Gale Two-Headed Wolf was a little over four hundred years old. It possessed wind-like speed and formidable aggression, making it well suited to become the first Spirit Ring of Ye Tianxing's Withered Wood Bow.

Drawn by his Soul Power, the Spirit Ring descended to Ye Tianxing's waist and began to rotate. A warm current spread through his body, leaving him pleasantly warm as his Soul Power began to break through.

Only at bottlenecks such as level ten and level twenty could a Soul Power breakthrough occur. Spirit Rings were like keys; the Soul Power that had originally stagnated now showed signs of rising.

It was like a volcano preparing for eruption.

Finally, the power had accumulated to its limit. The magma erupted!

The "shackles" within Ye Tianxing's body shattered. His Soul Power was like rivers and seas, flowing into every corner of his body. His Soul Power had broken through.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Tianxing opened his eyes and looked at the bloodstains on the ground that had yet to dry. They belonged to the Gale Two-Headed Wolf. Its corpse had long since been taken away, destined to become nothing more than a delicacy on someone's dining table.

Spirit Beast meat was highly nourishing for Spirit Masters, especially certain organs. It was said to have aphrodisiac effects as well, making it popular with some people.

A crystal ball, transparent throughout, was placed before Ye Tianxing. The instant his small hand pressed against it, a faint light emerged within before quickly growing ever more brilliant.

"Level twelve. A hundred-year Spirit Ring raised you two levels at once. You're quite lucky, kid."

Yue Guan nodded at Ye Tianxing and smiled. "Kid Ye, what is your First Soul Skill? Show it to us. I'm looking forward to it!"

Ye Tianxing nodded innocently with a smile, looking toward the target that had long been prepared ahead of him.

The Withered Wood Bow appeared in his hand, and the First Spirit Ring beneath his feet lit up. A gale circled around the bow, while winds churned throughout the field. Countless gusts gradually gathered into the bow. The moment the arrow took shape, Ye Tianxing pulled back the bowstring.

First Soul Skill, Extreme Wind Shot!

The arrow flew out and actually split into two midway through its flight. As it pierced through the target, it nearly penetrated the wall behind it as well.

"Not bad. Its attack power is very strong. You should know that wall was forged from Deep Sea Sinking Silver, yet your Withered Wood Bow nearly pierced through it. That is already very impressive."

Yue Guan nodded in satisfaction. The arrow could even split into two during flight. Clearly, that was due to absorbing the mutated Gale Two-Headed Wolf. Its speed was as elusive as the wind, impossible to predict.

One after another, Lu Yu and the other two successfully absorbed their Spirit Rings. Lor Diarra brought the four of them back, leaving Yue Guan alone in the vast Hunting Ground.

Suddenly, Yue Guan's expression turned solemn. Before him, an elegant and noble woman approached in a purple-gold robe. Holding a purple-gold scepter, her face was exquisitely beautiful beyond belief. Her brows carried majesty and killing intent, making everyone seem inferior in her presence.

With a willow-slender waist, a graceful figure, and long legs, she slowly approached with elegant clicking steps.

"Your Holiness the Pope."

Before Bibi Dong, even Yue Guan, a Titled Douluo, had no choice but to lower his proud head.

"The new disciple taken in by the Fifth Offering seems no different from the children of previous years. He merely has more thoughts than most." Bibi Dong had observed Ye Tianxing from the moment he entered the Hunting Ground.

Spirit Hall was divided into two factions. One was led by Bibi Dong, while the other was led by Qian Daoliu.

The Fifth Offering naturally belonged to Qian Daoliu's faction. An Innate Full Soul Power had finally appeared this year, and since Bibi Dong had not made the first move, she naturally needed to observe Ye Tianxing's potential.

In Bibi Dong's eyes, Ye Tianxing was nothing special.

Until he grew into a Titled Douluo, he could not affect Bibi Dong in any way.

After a full day of lessons, Ye Tianxing had learned much knowledge about Spirit Masters that could not be found in novels. His day had been full and satisfying.

Spirit Hall's food was truly excellent. That very day, he ate the meat of the Gale Two-Headed Wolf he had killed. It was roasted, glistening with oil, and delicious.

Ye Tianxing lived in a single room. Everyone in the Elite Class had the same arrangement.

It was very private, giving each of them their own little world.

Once he made sure no one was around and the corridor was silent,

Ye Tianxing spread out his right hand, and a sharp azure sword appeared in his palm.

This was the artifact from the game he had played before transmigrating, Dreaming Journey to the West 3: Havoc in Heaven—the Azure Dragon Sword.

Ye Tianxing was an old player. After graduating and failing to find work, he had prepared to dream big once more, spending heavily to top up to VIP5. He rode the Time Boat, killed Taotie, and obtained an Azure Dragon Sword.

2.5, metal and wood attributes.

It increased attack power and artifact duration.

The instant the Azure Dragon Sword appeared, Ye Tianxing suddenly realized that his attack power seemed to have increased considerably, and...

When Ye Tianxing took advantage of the empty grounds to head to the training field and drew his bow with an arrow nocked, he felt it—his attack power had risen by more than just one level.

Moreover, if Ye Tianxing remembered correctly, the Azure Dragon Sword also possessed the ability to fly on a sword.
