Level Thirty and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye

"Li Di!!"

Butcher, who had long been waiting at the Heaven Dou Royal Junior Soul Master Academy, saw his younger brother appear before him safe and sound. Overcome with excitement and joy, he rushed forward and gave him a bear hug.

Then he pulled his brother over to kneel before Lin Tianyi and kowtow.

He also said that he would honor his promise, remain forever loyal to Lin Tianyi, and never betray him.

No matter how Lin Tianyi tried to explain that it was free, Butcher stubbornly refused to listen and insisted on kneeling, begging Lin Tianyi to take him in as a subordinate.

Unable to persuade him otherwise, Lin Tianyi could only nod in agreement.

Only then did Butcher pull his brother to his feet and respectfully attend Lin Tianyi's side.

Considering that Butcher possessed Level 39 Soul Power, Lin Tianyi felt he could send him to protect his parents, who were merely ordinary people.

Hearing Lin Tianyi's words, Butcher respectfully acknowledged the order.

But before they left, Lin Tianyi looked at Butcher's younger brother. Though the boy was tall and burly, his face was still very youthful, and Lin Tianyi could not help asking curiously,

"Butcher, how old is your brother?"

Butcher answered respectfully, "My younger brother is fourteen this year."

Lin Tianyi looked at Butcher's brother's towering two-meter-tall frame, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He's fucking fourteen?!

Then he asked Butcher how old he was.

Butcher answered just as respectfully,

"Master, I am already sixteen this year."

Lin Tianyi's eyes widened abruptly.

"H-how old?!"

Butcher answered respectfully again, "Sixteen."

Lin Tianyi stared at Butcher in shock. This young man, with a hideous scar across his face and an appearance that seemed exceedingly mature and weathered, was actually only sixteen years old!

A top-tier beast Martial Soul, the Golden Scaled Arm Ape! A sixteen-year-old Level 39 Soul Elder!

Such a genius had so easily become his subordinate!

Damn it, was that viscount waterlogged in the brain? Or had a donkey kicked him? Instead of properly nurturing and protecting such a genius, he actually threatened to send him to earn money through Soul Fighting!

There really were people this stupid in the world!

Letting out a long breath, Lin Tianyi felt as though he had found a treasure. He looked at Butcher and his younger brother and asked for their names.

He learned that Butcher was called Yuan Ding Tian, while his younger brother was Yuan Li Di.

Their deceased parents had given them those names in the hope that their two children would grow into men who could hold up the heavens and stand firmly upon the earth.

Then Lin Tianyi took the two brothers back to Lin Family Village, where they would live from then on.

It was worth mentioning that Yuan Ding Tian was a genius, and his younger brother Yuan Li Di was one as well. At fourteen, he was already a Level 33 Soul Elder.

With such talent, as well as a top-tier beast Martial Soul like the Golden Scaled Arm Ape, he could enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy directly without taking an examination and receive proper training.

Lin Tianyi could not delay the two brothers' futures. After settling them in Lin Family Village, he sent them to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for further study.

The two brothers obeyed Lin Tianyi's instructions and went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for further study.

When Lin Tu, Qin Hui, and the others saw that Lin Tianyi had brought back two geniuses, they were all dumbfounded.

He had just lured two geniuses back so easily?

Why did it feel so unreal?

The Yuan Ding Tian and Yuan Li Di brothers were only a minor interlude.

After that, Lin Tianyi continued to meditate and cultivate diligently, his Soul Power steadily rising.

After claiming the reward, Lin Tianyi's Innate Soul Power had already become Innate Full Soul Power, significantly increasing his cultivation speed.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year passed.

On Lin Tianyi's eighth birthday, he finally broke through to Level 30.

The cold mechanical voice, absent for so long, rang in his ears once more.

Congratulations, host, on breaking through to Level 30 and completing the Second Stage Main Quest. Would you like to claim the reward?

With no one around, Lin Tianyi immediately claimed it.

The rewards for the second stage were extremely generous.

Physical constitution greatly enhanced (capable of withstanding Soul Rings up to twelve thousand years), Mental Power Upgrade to Soul Emperor Level, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

A surge of heat exploded within his body and flowed through his limbs and bones, strengthening every inch of skin, every piece of bone and flesh, and every cell.

Sounds of joyous celebration seemed to rise from within his body. This was the sublimation of life.

At the same time, his soul was nourished by another ethereal force, and his mental power rapidly strengthened. Before long, it had reached the level of a Soul Emperor.

The dual enhancement of his physical constitution and mental power brought an expression of enjoyment to Lin Tianyi's face.

The sensation came quickly and left just as fast. Soon, it receded like a tide and vanished.

Opening his eyes, he looked at the right arm Soul Bone floating before him, radiating a crimson glow.

Lin Tianyi's gaze burned hot.

"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he did not absorb it immediately. Instead, he carefully stored it in his storage Soul Tool. It would not be too late to absorb it after acquiring his third Soul Ring.

At that moment, the cold mechanical voice sounded in his ears again.

Third Stage Main Quest issued.

Quest requirement: Break through to Level 70 Soul Power within seven years.

Quest reward: Physical constitution greatly enhanced (capable of withstanding Hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings), Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, God-bestowed Soul Ring, God-tier Martial Soul.

Quest punishment: Soul Power drops by ten levels.

Hearing the quest requirement, Lin Tianyi's eyes widened.

"Fuck, break through to Level 70 within seven years? I'm eight now, which means I have to become a Soul Sage at fifteen!"

"Damn it, isn't this quest a little too excessive? Cultivation gets slower the further you go!

"Especially after Level 50. Even with Innate Full Soul Power, it would take me several months just to rise one level!"

Lin Tianyi was somewhat indignant, but when he heard the quest rewards—

He immediately fell silent.

Leaving everything else aside, just the God-tier Martial Soul alone meant he had to complete this quest.

This was the shortcut to rapidly breaking through to Level 99!

Lin Tianyi raised a hand and rubbed his little chin thoughtfully.

"Looks like I need to make a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye."

Host detected breaking through to Level 30 and urgently needing to obtain a Soul Ring. Guardian Program activated.

Guardian Puppet issued (comparable to a Level 96 Title Douluo). The Guardian Puppet will be recalled once the host obtains a Soul Ring.

"Heh, just in time."

Sunset Forest was located in the center of the Heaven Dou Empire. Its area was far smaller than that of the Star Dou Great Forest, and there were not many Soul Beasts with cultivation beyond ten thousand years. Most remained between the thousand-year and ten-thousand-year levels.

Viewed from high above, emerald canopies stretched and interwove endlessly, resembling a vast green sea of forest.

One large and one small figure flew over Sunset Forest, speeding toward its center.

Those two figures were none other than Guardian Puppet Number Two and Lin Tianyi.

His eyes fixed ahead as the scenery below rapidly retreated.

If I remember correctly, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye is in the center of Sunset Forest, surrounded by the poisonous miasma Dugu Bo set up... Lin Tianyi thought to himself.

The deep cyan Extreme Wind Wings behind him beat with the sound of tearing air as they shot forward with a howl.

After a while, they finally arrived above the center of Sunset Forest.

Looking down, they saw purple-black miasma spreading below, obscuring the scenery beneath.

"This is the place." Lin Tianyi curled his lips and had Guardian Puppet Number Two form a Soul Power barrier before carrying him down.

Purple-black miasma filled his vision, making the surroundings impossible to see. The only sound in his ears was the howling wind of their rapid descent.

Before long, his vision suddenly cleared. They had already passed through the poisonous miasma.

They landed lightly, and an oval-shaped pool appeared before them, waves of heat rising from its surface. It was not large, yet it was evenly divided into two halves—one milky white, the other crimson.

It was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye!
