Dual Divine Might!

The Violent Ape crashed down, kicking up clouds of dust.

Ye Qiu's figure was somewhat hazy. A faint smile hung on his lips as he looked at the Ape King sprawled on the ground. "Just as I thought—you never learn."

"Roar!" Unfazed by its failed strike, it immediately entered a berserk state and swung its fists at Ye Qiu again.

Unfortunately, several punches struck nothing but the ground. Ye Qiu stood there without moving, yet remained completely unharmed.

"Had enough?" Ye Qiu said as he darted forward and drove a vicious kick straight at its weak spot!

In its berserk state, it had no idea what defense was.

Pfft! Ye Qiu showed no mercy this time. If he had not finished absorbing the Spirit Ring in time, the ape would have smashed him to death. This was merely a small punishment.

"Awroo..." Looking at the Violent Ape still rolling around on the ground, Ye Qiu had no intention of staying any longer. That commotion just now had been huge; someone might already be on their way.

He called out to Tiger Cub, who had only just climbed back up, and prepared to leave.

"Huh?!" In the distance, a purple glow caught Ye Qiu's attention. "Could it be..."

Whoosh! He instinctively used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, swiftly snatching the object into his hand.

Purple light flowed over it. It looked somewhat like a bulletproof vest and was exceptionally flexible.

"Hmph, that Violent Ape nearly caused me trouble!" Ye Qiu could already confirm that what he held was a Soul Bone, though its appearance was rather strange. "Is this a Soul Bone? A Torso Spirit Bone? Why is it hollow and soft?"

"Damn, did I just get possessed by luck?!" Ye Qiu suddenly remembered that, aside from the six-piece set, there seemed to be another kind known as an External Soul Bone. "Could this be an External Soul Bone?!"

Ye Qiu felt that his guess was probably correct. He had never expected that using the Sharingan to force a Spirit Beast into sacrifice could yield a Soul Bone—and a rare External Soul Bone at that!

Wouldn't that mean he could assemble a full set much sooner in the future?

Hearing movement in the distance, Ye Qiu did not dare linger. He kicked the Violent Ape once more, turning it from a proud loner into a eunuch, its twin jewels thoroughly scattered!

His gaze focused on the Soul Bone in his hand. The Sharingan activated, and space immediately twisted into an invisible vortex that swallowed the External Soul Bone without a trace.

He mounted Tiger Cub at his side and rode away.

Along the way, he relied on the Sharingan to avoid quite a few troubles.

"Huh? Another Gale Demon Wolf!" The alert Ye Qiu noticed another detestable male wolf up ahead.

Smack, smack! He patted Tiger Cub's back, signaling it to move closer. "Perfect. I can test my left eye's ability!"

As soon as he spoke, a Six-pointed Star pattern appeared in his eyes, and his left eye focused on the Gale Demon Wolf's waist.

"Kamui!" he shouted softly.

"Awoo~" The Gale Demon Wolf was suddenly wracked with pain. It tried to flee, but it was already too late. The distortion of space twisted it in half at the waist, scattering its bloody, authentic nine-turn intestines across the ground.

"Whew, not bad power!" Ye Qiu beamed with delight. A six-hundred-year Gale Demon Wolf, instantly killed!

Ye Qiu jumped down from his mount. He had ridden Tiger Cub for so long and had nothing to thank it with. Before leaving, he could only give it a serving of nine-turn intestines.

After giving Tiger Cub's head a final couple of rubs, Ye Qiu ran toward the exit of the Soul Hunting Forest.

Tiger Cub remained where it was, its eyes having regained their clarity. As it watched Ye Qiu's retreating back, it let out a series of howls.

"Roar~" Gurgle, gurgle!

Its weak cries were drowned out by its uncooperative stomach. Looking at the Gale Demon Wolf split into two pieces nearby, it was not picky at all. With a hungry tiger's pounce, it began to feast heartily.

At last, it had a full meal!

Ye Qiu leaped through the forest, using his sleeve to wipe away the bloodstains left on his face and at the corners of his eyes. Yet the smile on his lips could not be suppressed; he was practically beside himself with pride.

"This time, I struck it big! Xiao Wu, I'm back!"

A thousand-year first Purple VIP Area Ring, Soul Power at level seventeen, the Mysterious Heaven Skill breaking through to the second layer, and one External Soul Bone!

More exciting than all of that was the fact that Ye Qiu's Sharingan seemed to grant two skills from a single ring!

Obviously—

Dual Divine Might! The divine skill he had dreamed of in his previous life!

After gaining the Spirit Ring, it had successfully evolved into the Mangekyo Sharingan. Its Illusion Technique and observational ability had improved significantly.

His left eye could remotely transfer objects and enemy attacks, send himself into the Divine Might Space, and use spatial distortion to strike enemies. That lecherous wolf just now had died in precisely that way.

His right eye could phase the part of himself under attack. To a certain extent, it could be said to evade any physical attack. It could transfer people and objects he touched, mark space, and carry out long-distance teleportation through the Divine Might Space!

It possessed unparalleled advantages in survival, escape, surprise victories, and even storage.

Ye Qiu also found it strange.

Logically speaking, the Soul Skills gained by Spirit Masters should be connected to the traits of the Spirit Beasts, but the Sharingan seemed to be different.

A Boa Constrictor's Spirit Ring had actually unlocked the Soul Skill Kamui. No matter how hard he thought, he could not figure out what connection there was.

He could only blame it on the Sharingan being unaccustomed to this world. After all, whenever he used a Soul Skill, even his Spirit Ring seemed not to appear. Regarding that, Ye Qiu could only say that his Martial Soul was truly considerate!

He picked up speed. Ye Qiu still remembered that he had entrusted a letter to Tom and his wife.

He should take back that thing that was practically a last will and testament. Now that Kamui protected him, even if he could not defeat the Tang Family father and son, escaping should not be a problem, right?

By now, it was already afternoon.

The ragged Ye Qiu finally returned to the carving workshop.

"Ye Qiu, boy! How did you end up in such a sorry state? Do you really have to become a Spirit Master?!"

The moment Grandma Tom saw him, she immediately began scolding him.

Ye Qiu knew that her parents had gone hunting Spirit Beasts and never returned. Although she had Soul Power, she had not become a Spirit Master and instead married an ordinary man.

He could not exactly tell her the truth, so he could only smile awkwardly. I really do have to become a Spirit Master!

"Alright, alright. Ye Qiu, go wash up first. I'll buy you a set of clothes!" Grandpa Jerry pulled her back to stop her from continuing. After sending Ye Qiu away, he spoke to her in a low voice.

Once Ye Qiu had cleaned himself up and came out again, the elderly couple were sitting upright, looking at him seriously and gesturing for him to sit opposite them.

Ye Qiu sat down, expecting something like a three-way interrogation. To his surprise, Grandma Tom merely handed him the letter.

"The little girl came by this morning. The time hadn't come yet, so I didn't give it to her."

He silently accepted it and put it away.

After exchanging a glance, the couple watched as Grandma Tom took out a box from behind her and placed it in the center of the table.

"Take a look!"

Ye Qiu opened it as instructed. What entered his sight was a pink gemstone set above a ring-shaped piece of metal.

"A ring?" He looked at the two elders in confusion, unable to understand what they meant.

"What? Is that all the knowledge a distinguished Lord Soul Master has?" There was a hint of Gunpowder in Grandma Tom's voice.

Fortunately, Grandpa Jerry soothed her from the side and smiled at Ye Qiu. "Look more carefully."

Ye Qiu scratched his head. His knowledge really was not all that impressive. He picked up the ring. "This is a Space Soul Tool!"

He looked at the two elders in shock. He had not expected this old couple to possess something so valuable!
