"Li Jinsheng!!! Don't run!"

Outside the Virtual Battlefield, Gu Yue chased after Li Jinsheng, completely unconcerned with keeping up appearances. This guy was such a bastard.

It would have been one thing if he had merely run away himself, but he had even kept cheering her on. What were his intentions?!

"You were about to hit me. If I didn't run, would that make me an idiot?!" Li Jinsheng was speechless. You were the Silver Dragon King, the mighty Lord of Soul Beasts, yet you couldn't even beat a Ten Thousand Years soul beast?!

Useless Gu Yue!

What a disgrace to the Lord of Soul Beasts!

Watching the two lively youngsters, Leng Yaozhu smiled helplessly and stopped them. "You two, stop for a moment!"

"Teacher!"

"Aunt Leng!"

The two quieted down. Leng Yaozhu looked at Li Jinsheng. "Let me see your Self-Created Soul Skill!"

The boy nodded and raised his left hand. Feicui light swirled once more, and the hum of Wind Blades echoed through the room.

Illusion Brain Douluo frowned slightly. He could not sense even the slightest danger from this Soul Skill. In fact, he instinctively felt that it was an extremely safe thing.

"This Soul Skill feels so strange. My first thought was actually that it was just an auxiliary Soul Skill." He could not help muttering as he noticed something was off about Li Jinsheng's Soul Skill.

Leng Yaozhu felt that abrupt sensation as well. She formed a barrier out of Soul Power and slowly brought it closer to the Blade of Life.

Yet the instant the Soul Power made contact, the barrier she had formed with roughly Soul Grandmaster-level Soul Power was actually pierced through.

The Soul Power barrier showed no intention of blocking it at all. The Blade of Life passed straight through.

"What is going on?!" Leng Yaozhu looked at the scene in astonishment, then turned directly to the well-informed Han Tianyi. "Illusion Brain Douluo, you've seen so much. You must know, right?!"

Han Tianyi felt like cursing at that moment. He had no way to explain this either. A Self-Created Soul Skill that could not be defended against with Soul Power! What kind of genius was this?!

Why wasn't it a Body Martial Soul?!

If it were a Body Martial Soul, this old man could reluctantly accept him as his final disciple. From what I can see, this brat even seems to be Innate Leakless, so why isn't it a Body Martial Soul?!

"I don't know!" Han Tianyi replied calmly.

Leng Yaozhu could only sigh helplessly. "Li Jinsheng, what is this move called?"

"I thought of the name long ago. It's called Blade of Life!"

"Not a bad name, but this move is too dangerous! To prevent you from hurting other children, don't use it unless your life is in danger!"

"Ah?!!"

Li Jinsheng instantly turned to stone. No, I'm an auxiliary-type Soul Master. I finally invented a Soul Skill with decent power, and you're saying it's too dangerous?!

Wouldn't I know whether it's dangerous or not?!

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue smiled sweetly. Seeing the boy suffer a setback made her feel incomparably refreshed. Unknowingly, Li Jinsheng had already attained the same status as Na'er in Gu Yue's heart.

"Aunt Leng, I understand! Then I'll consider other applications for my Martial Soul!" Li Jinsheng lowered his head in agreement, his tone full of disappointment.

Leng Yaozhu suddenly had a bad feeling! It seemed she had personally flipped some sort of switch! But when she thought of his Life Element Martial Soul, she felt it should not be a major issue. It was already difficult enough for a Life Element Martial Soul to develop one offensive Soul Skill. Could he possibly develop a second one?

At his age, there was no need for him to enlist in the military, nor did he need to kill Evil Soul Masters yet. How had he managed to develop such a dangerous Soul Skill?!

Was a seven-year-old supposed to go into battle? Had everyone from her generation died off already? Besides, Life Danger was subjective to Li Jinsheng. More importantly, a Soul Skill that could not be properly defended against was too dangerous in the hands of a child if used proactively.

Heavenly Phoenix Douluo looked at Gu Yue and encouraged her, "Gu Yue, you performed well today. You can already use the advanced elemental technique of Element Fusion. But your Spiritual Power is still insufficient, so you'd better not risk doing such things!"

"Okay, Teacher!" Gu Yue agreed, but she did not truly take it to heart. If her Spiritual Power was insufficient, or her Soul Power was insufficient, she could simply add points!

Li Jinsheng's hard work in cultivation could never compare to how quickly she could add points.

Over the next day, Leng Yaozhu began piling on the pressure like mad. The lessons progressed step by step, but there was simply too much of it.

Li Jinsheng had not studied so much knowledge in a long time. His Brain entered a brief state of shutdown, and he felt somewhat dead inside!

"What's wrong?" Gu Yue asked.

"Nothing! I feel like I'm about to die! Keep it up! Remember to let me refer to your homework." Li Jinsheng said shamelessly.

"Dream on! Work hard!" After saying that, Gu Yue left with the homework Leng Yaozhu had assigned.

The boy rested for a while before staggering into his room. He collapsed onto the bed and fell peacefully asleep.

Outside the room, the lights still shone. In distant Shrek City, the leaves of the Golden Ancient Tree rustled in the night wind.

Beneath the ancient tree, an old man slowly emerged from the shadows. He looked truly unusual. His body was already hunched, and his entire body was crimson-gold. His long beard trailed all the way to the ground, as did his white hair. Even his eyebrows had grown long enough to droop to the ground. Yet his eyes were an exceptionally clear pale gold.

He looked toward the distant sky and could not help revealing a benevolent smile. "I never expected that, aside from leaving behind Ha Luosa, the Nether King, he had another trump card. But he both succeeded and failed. No matter how one thinks about it, those two powers of Devil Island could never fuse into one!"

"In the end, he can only follow a single path."

His voice was aged. Feeling the dense life force in the distance, he could not help making his judgment.

"As long as I am still alive, as long as I remain this plane's Life Core, I must do something for this world!"

The old man smiled faintly, and his figure gradually vanished among the leaves.

Yet there was one thing the Golden Tree Spirit had gotten wrong.

The Plane Master's remnant soul had initially intended to combine those two powers, but in the end, he chose to give up. Instead, he chose to use a variable and the purest, most absolute energy of Destruction to shape it, hoping to restart Douluo Star. After Destruction came new life.

In the new world, only one person would disappear.

The Destruction Embryo had already been completed, and all the contingencies had been injected into it, yet he had encountered an unprecedentedly powerful Life Tide.

His pure, flawless destruction had been forcibly tainted by life, taking on the form of life.

Truly, flowers planted with care refused to bloom, while willows stuck in the ground by chance flourished into shade.

But he no longer had time to alter the plan. He could only grit his teeth and carry out the plane restart plan.

Half a month later, the evening glow stained the sky red. Li Jinsheng finally finished a day of cultivation and once again arrived at the Snack Street in Shrek City.

The various foods on this Snack Street were delicious and cheap. Every few steps, a different aroma drifted over.

The youth had come to the Snack Street for a treat, and he could certainly afford the cost of a meal. Even in East Sea, a piece of Heavenly Dragon Iron, a rare metal refined through Hundred Forges Purification, sold for two thousand Federal Coins. Prices in Shrek City would only be higher.

Moreover, as long as no defective products appeared, he did not need to pay out of pocket for materials. For a genius like Li Jinsheng, it was practically a business with no capital required.

After a year, he had accumulated some savings—more than a hundred thousand Federal Coins. He could indulge his appetite a little.

If earning money was not for enjoyment, then earning money had no meaning at all.

Li Jinsheng did not walk far before stopping in front of a teppanyaki stall owner. "Boss, another fifty skewers of squid, fifty chicken skewers, fifty lamb skewers, and..."

Hearing that astonishing quantity, the owner looked behind the youth and asked, "Just you?"

"That's right! I can finish it!"

Li Jinsheng was incredibly confident. He had developed another Self-Created Soul Skill. His martial soul was the Life Element, so he had tried enhancing himself—and miraculously succeeded.

However, he could only enhance one body part at a time. Even so, it had left Illusion Brain Douluo Han Tianyi utterly dumbfounded. Han Tianyi had driven out in his Jeep early that morning. By now, he should have been at the Body Sect, using a cane to knock the head of a grandnephew who worked as a cook, urging him to search for information on the Body Sect.

In their eyes, this was no mere enhancement of bodily organs. It was practically a shapeshifting Body Martial Soul!

Just then, a familiar voice rang out from behind the youth. "Boss! One hundred skewers of squid, one hundred chicken skewers, one hundred lamb skewers, and... most importantly, give me a hundred jin of Chicken Fork Bone!"
