Firefly's Daily Life, Trailblazer's Embrace

After absorbing the Soul Ring, Lu Jiang's cultivation level also soared to that of a level 20 Soul Master.

Qian Renxue's eyes widened as she watched from the side.

If she wasn't mistaken, this person in front of her, just like her, also had a congenital level 20 Soul Power!

Could it be that his Martial Soul was also inherited from a deity in the God Realm?

However, her own Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul wasn't strong enough to allow her to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast with her first Soul Ring.

She was already finding it difficult to comprehend Lu Jiang's talent.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully absorbing the Soul Ring.]

[Skill Acquired: Flowing Light Sacred Shield.]

[Skill Description: A shield formed from pure light elements that can cleanse all evil in the world. It grants complete immunity to frontal damage for a certain period and can also release pure flowing light to injure opponents.]

Lu Jiang looked at his Soul Ring with great satisfaction.

As expected of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, it granted a ridiculously powerful skill like complete immunity right from the start.

If he remembered correctly, Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body was similar, except her skill prevented her from moving after activation and only lasted a few seconds.

It also had no offensive capabilities.

If he had the chance, he wanted to test the strength of the Soul Skill granted by this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Lu Jiang stretched his limbs and then looked at Qian Renxue, who was already lost in thought beside him.

"Are you alright?"

Lu Jiang waved his hand in front of her, finally pulling Qian Renxue back from her shock.

After calming herself down, Qian Renxue said to him:

"I didn't expect you to also be at congenital level 20. If that's the case, wouldn't you still need to absorb another Soul Ring?"

"Could it be... another Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?"

Lu Jiang nodded matter-of-factly.

This almost made Qian Renxue faint from anger.

Was she serious? Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts were difficult for many people to obtain.

How could he be so bold?

However, given Lu Jiang's immense talent, Qian Renxue didn't argue with him.

Since both of them still needed to acquire Soul Rings, they agreed to hunt Soul Beasts together the next day.

Afterward, Qian Renxue took out a tent from her Soul Ring, planning to set up camp there.

While setting it up, Qian Renxue saw Lu Jiang watching her.

She then said to him with a vigilant expression:

"Aren't you going to set up the tent? Why are you looking at me?"

Lu Jiang shrugged helplessly and said, "Eldest Young Lady, do I look like someone who can afford a tent?"

Qian Renxue looked at him somewhat awkwardly and said, "But I only brought one with me this time."

She hadn't expected to encounter anyone else in the Star Dou Great Forest, let alone have to travel together.

Lu Jiang flashed a smile and then said, "How about we make do for the night?"

"There are fierce Soul Beasts everywhere here, you wouldn't want to see me become their food in the middle of the night, would you?"

Qian Renxue righteously refused Lu Jiang.

"No, men and women should not touch."

Even though Lu Jiang looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, he was still a boy.

Thinking this, Qian Renxue's face turned slightly red.

Lu Jiang, however, acted as if he hadn't understood the meaning behind Qian Renxue's words, saying indifferently, "It's fine, I'll have Firefly sleep in the middle."

With that, Lu Jiang summoned Firefly.

"What is it, Trailblazer? Have you encountered enemies again?"

Firefly looked at Lu Jiang vigilantly, then she noticed the subtle atmosphere around them.

Qian Renxue was silently lowering her head, Lu Jiang was smiling proudly, and she was standing between the two of them.

In the end, the three of them ended up sleeping in the tent together.

Firefly and Qian Renxue both stared at the tent ceiling, their minds racing, unable to sleep.

At the same time, they were wary of each other's identities and dared not speak.

Lu Jiang, on the other hand, fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down.

He paid no mind to the two beautiful women lying beside him.

Firefly turned over, looking at Lu Jiang's sleeping face, and a knowing smile appeared.

However, the next moment, Lu Jiang rolled over and placed his arm on Firefly's shoulder.

This caused Firefly to blush from her cheeks all the way down to her heels.

She wanted to escape, but she also cherished the physical contact with Lu Jiang.

She was afraid that any movement would startle Lu Jiang and cause him to turn away.

Thus, Firefly could only maintain this position, not daring to move.

At this moment, she clearly heard Qian Renxue behind her let out a laugh.

The next morning.

Lu Jiang felt as if he was holding a ball of cotton candy.

This wonderful sensation gradually brought him to consciousness.

Then, he saw Firefly curled up in his arms, her face flushed red.

"Trailblazer. You're awake?"

Firefly's face was pressed close to his, and as she spoke, a stream of warm air escaped her lips, blowing against his neck.

It was accompanied by a faint floral scent.

I slept like this, holding her, all night???

Lu Jiang's head exploded.

He immediately sat up from the ground.

"Oh, you're up so early."

Firefly slowly sat up, nodding with a red face.

At this moment, Qian Renxue walked in after washing up and, seeing their appearance, let out a chuckle.

"You two are really inseparable."

"It's almost embarrassing for me."

Lu Jiang got up awkwardly and said to Qian Renxue:

"Aren't we still hunting Soul Beasts?"

"Let's get ready and set off."

Qian Renxue snorted, then said to Lu Jiang:

"Hmph, only you could sleep so soundly in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"I've already scouted for Soul Beasts this morning. There are two light-element Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts, one for each of us."

Meanwhile, after Zhu Zhuqing returned to Shrek Academy.

She told her companions about encountering Lu Jiang and Qian Renxue in the Star Dou Forest.

"Although I don't know their identities or backgrounds, there's one thing I can confirm."

"Their strength is immense. Especially that male."

"He's around our age, yet he can summon a girl who can instantly kill a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast."

Tang San's brows furrowed upon hearing this.

A teenager, instantly killing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast?

Ma Hongjun started to tease upon hearing this.

"Zhuqing, did the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast scare you silly?"

"How is it possible for someone in their teens to kill a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast?"

Zhu Zhuqing merely shot him a cold glare.

Then, Dai Mubai stepped in to smooth things over.

"Heh, you can't blame Zhuqing. After all, that was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast. It's a miracle if a normal person isn't scared to death."

"Besides, Zhuqing never lies. I believe her."

Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a fawning smile.

However, he only received a cold glance from her in return.

"If there's another chance to see them, I'll introduce you."

Tang San nodded, then asked Zhu Zhuqing:

"Oh, right, do you know what their names are?"

"If they can defeat a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast in one blow, they should be very famous figures on the continent."

However, Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.

Tang San nodded, showing understanding.

In front of such powerful individuals, their mere aura could make one breathless.

Let alone mustering the courage to ask for their names.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong sighed and said:

"Is that so? What a shame. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is in dire need of geniuses. It would have been great if we could have met those two earlier."

At this moment, Tang San suddenly remembered something and asked Ning Rongrong:

"By the way, Rongrong. I heard you broke up with your boyfriend from your sect?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's expression immediately darkened.

She then said:

"Isn't that perfectly normal?"

"The status difference between us is too great; being together simply wouldn't last."

Oscar, standing beside them, perked up his ears upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words.

His mouth split into a grin that reached his ears.

Great, Rongrong broke up. Does this mean I have a chance?

Oscar rejoiced inwardly.

Afterward, Tang San nodded and said:

"This is for the best. We are destined to follow our teacher to the pinnacle of Soul Masters on the continent. Being held back by such people is ultimately not worth it."
