Elemental Control! Qian Renxue Returns

Lin Yu instantly condensed a ball of fire in his hand, then flung it out, igniting the weeds on the ground. The flames spread rapidly.

If he did not stop it soon, the entire surrounding area would be burned to ashes.

The fire grew larger and larger, expanding from a single fireball into a raging blaze.

But just then, Lin Yu actually absorbed all the flames back, then blasted them all into the ground.

Bang!

Qian Daoliu was stunned. "This! Not bad power!"

"Or perhaps, Earth Elemental Control!"

Lin Yu slapped his palm against the yellow earth beneath him.

The soil and his Earth Attribute Soul Power instantly formed a sturdy Earth Wall that rose from the ground.

Qian Daoliu: "!"

"Or perhaps, Space Control!"

Lin Yu controlled his Space Attribute Soul Power, and in the next second, his body instantly shifted roughly two meters away.

"This is... Sp-Space Transfer!"

"Hiss~! Good heavens!"

Qian Daoliu sucked in a sharp breath.

Lin Yu's grin was impossible to suppress. He waved a hand. "That's enough, Teacher. This disciple will only demonstrate this much."

This child already possesses an Ultimate Attribute, and with such powerful Elemental Control, the might and effects of every attribute of Soul Power he releases are in no way inferior to a Hundred-Year Soul Skill!

This! This is equivalent to gaining seven Soul Skills from a single soul ring!

No! More accurately, Xiao Yu can control elemental power to unleash all kinds of techniques and skills in different forms. Elemental Control possesses limitless potential for development.

He can even control powers of the same attribute outside his own body. If he faces an opponent with the same attribute, then Xiao Yu will be that opponent's absolute nemesis!

Qian Daoliu was overjoyed inside and nodded in satisfaction. "Very good! Xiao Yu, you have obtained an exceptional Soul Skill."

"Now that we have obtained the soul ring, there is no need to linger any longer. Let's go. By my calculations, Xiao Xue should be returning soon as well."

"Mm."

The two set out for Spirit City.

The round trip took two days, while the search took eight.

This journey had taken ten days in total.

On the way back, Lin Yu pondered, My Soul Power has now risen to Rank 14. Raising it another six ranks within two years and breaking through to Rank 20 should not be difficult.

And since my first soul ring is already 650 years old, my second ring surpassing a thousand years will be no problem at all.

But in two years, my Soul Power will likely struggle to exceed Rank 25. In other words, as a Soul Grandmaster, I will have to challenge above my level and kill alone a thousand-year wolf-type soul beast with strength comparable to a Soul Elder.

But if I absorb Immortal Herb resources, completing the First Trial will be easy.

Hehe, then before reaching Rank 20, I'll have the Enshrined Elders take me to Sunset Forest and directly seize Dugu Bo's Immortal Herbs. Lin Yu plotted inwardly.

He would not leave a single Immortal Herb for that little punk.

One day later.

The two returned to the Papal Palace.

After returning, Qian Daoliu immediately wrote out a Marriage Contract in his own hand and arranged this marriage with Lin Yu's father, Lin Tian.

However, because Lin Yu was still young, Qian Daoliu suggested that they not tell Lin Yu about the Marriage Contract for the time being.

Lin Yu still did not know that Qian Renxue had become his fiancée.

Next, he would undergo Qian Daoliu's guidance and train. So that he could better receive instruction and devote himself to cultivation, Qian Daoliu had him move into the Worship Hall.

Lin Yu had already packed his luggage and was preparing to leave the Angel Tribe Territory.

Lin Tian patted Lin Yu's shoulder and instructed, "Xiao Yu, after you arrive at the Worship Hall, you must cultivate properly and listen to the Enshrined Elders. Don't be willful, understand?"

"I understand, Dad. You should hurry back to the Angel Legion too. Your son is leaving."

After bidding farewell to his father, Lin Yu slung his luggage over his back and headed alone for the Worship Hall.

The Angel Tribe Territory and the Worship Hall were both within the Papal Palace's grounds.

The Papal Palace was as enormous as a small city, while the Worship Hall was located in its deepest reaches.

On the way from the Angel Tribe Territory to the Worship Hall, he would pass the large Training Ground for Core Disciples.

As the strongest Soul Master force whose influence covered the entire continent, Martial Soul Hall not only had branch halls throughout the two great empires, but had also established many elementary Soul Master academies, providing free education for the children of commoner Soul Masters.

Those with decent talent would directly enter Martial Soul Hall Academy in Spirit City to study.

Those with exceptional talent, who could barely be considered geniuses, could enter the Papal Palace to cultivate and study. These were the Core Disciples.

At that moment, quite a few Core Disciples were training on the Training Ground. The instant they saw Lin Yu pass by, it caused a commotion.

"Hey! Look! Th-that guy... isn't he Lin Yu, the one from the Angel Clan who awakened with Innate Full Soul Power and was accepted by the Great Worship Elder as his personal disciple!?"

"That's right! It's him!"

"I'm so jealous! He has Innate Full Soul Power and gets to train under the Great Worship Elder. This Lin Yu will probably become the number one genius of our Spirit Hall in the future!"

At that moment, a cold sneer came from among the Core Disciples. "Huh? The number one genius?"

"So what if he has Innate Full Soul Power? So what if he's the Great Worship Elder's disciple? Our Nana is still the Pope's personal disciple!"

"Nana is no worse than this kid." The one speaking was none other than Simp Yan.

Yan continued arrogantly, "Forget Nana—even this kid might not be stronger than Xie Yue and me. Number one genius? What a joke! Let him surpass me first, then we'll talk. I, Yan, will be the first to refuse!"

As the Trio with the greatest talent among Spirit Hall's younger generation, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan were all exceedingly confident in themselves.

They did not think they were inferior to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu seemed to sense someone's gaze. Turning his head toward the Training Ground, he saw Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan staring at him.

Lin Yu felt nothing much toward the three of them. He gave them an indifferent glance, then withdrew his gaze and continued forward.

But that immediately displeased Yan. "What kind of look was that?"

Xie Yue shrugged. "Maybe he doesn't take us seriously?"

"How outrageous! If it weren't for the fact that this kid just awakened his martial soul and started cultivating, I'd definitely go over there and teach him a lesson."

"Enough. Ignore him. Let's cultivate," Hu Liena cut in.

A short while later, Lin Yu arrived at the Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu had already arranged a room for him. After Lin Yu set down his luggage, he immediately headed to a training area within the Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu was already waiting there. Seeing Lin Yu arrive, he said with a smile, "Xiao Yu! You came at just the right time. Xiao Xue will be here soon as well."

"Qian Renxue has already returned? Right—when Qian Renxue went to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace back then, it was announced that she had died young. Her return must naturally be top secret as well."

Just as Lin Yu was thinking this—

Rumble, rumble.

The doors to this training space opened.

Footsteps sounded from behind him.

Qian Renxue had arrived!

Lin Yu turned around and finally saw Qian Renxue slowly walking in through the doorway. His gaze could not help but be drawn to her, and he murmured, "She's very different from four years ago."
