Second Soul Skill: Light of Destruction, Arrival in Heaven Dou City

Yang Yuan rose to his feet, his Double Pupil already restored to normal.

However, compared to before he absorbed the Soul Ring, his appearance and aura had undergone an Earth-Shattering Change.

"This..."

Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo were both utterly astonished.

They had already lost count of how many times they had been shocked tonight.

Yang Yuan smiled. "Sister Qianxun, Senior She, why are you making those faces?"

"Don't you recognize me?"

At his words, the stunned expression on Qian Renxue's face finally eased.

"Little Brother Yang, you've changed far too much tonight."

Yang Yuan grinned, a look completely at odds with his otherworldly appearance and aura.

Yet after spending a day with him, seeing that smile inexplicably made Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo feel relieved.

Yang Yuan's transformation had made him feel unfamiliar to them, as though he had suddenly become a different person, leaving them somewhat unsettled.

In truth, it was not just them. Even Yang Yuan was surprised by his own changes.

Though he had not looked in a mirror, Yang Yuan could still sense the earth-shaking transformation in his body.

"Kid, you made such a huge commotion. Your second Soul Skill must be extraordinary, right?" Snake Lance Douluo asked gravely.

Qian Renxue also looked over with curiosity.

It was her first time seeing someone cause such a disturbance merely by absorbing a second Soul Ring.

Yang Yuan nodded slightly and casually pulled up the greatsword embedded beside him.

Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo froze briefly, but then they saw two Purple Soul Rings rise and circle beneath Yang Yuan's feet.

The second Soul Ring suddenly flashed.

A beam of Dark Light shot out from Yang Yuan's right eye.

It radiated an aura that made their hearts tremble.

The Dark Light wrapped around the greatsword, forming a thin black film over its surface.

At the sight, Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo both fixed their gazes on the greatsword, their eyes narrowing.

The next second, Yang Yuan raised his sword and lightly swept it across the Dark Demon Tiger's corpse.

The Dark Demon Tiger's body immediately split into two, the cut smooth and even.

"What a sharp sword!"

Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo were startled.

Both could tell that Yang Yuan had not put any force into that strike.

The greatsword itself was not particularly sharp.

But after being coated in that black energy, it had become comparable to a Divine Weapon.

So Yang Yuan's second Martial Soul was meant to enchant weapons?

Although this Soul Skill also looked incredibly practical, it seemed somewhat unworthy of the phenomenon caused by absorbing the Soul Ring.

Yang Yuan ignored their thoughts and continued explaining.

"My second Soul Skill is called Light of Destruction. You've already seen what it does: it can apply a ray of Dark Light containing the power of destruction to a weapon, increasing its lethality."

"That's all?"

Snake Lance Douluo looked doubtful.

That should not have been the case. He had caused such a huge commotion, yet the effect did not seem all that heaven-defying.

Yang Yuan spread his hands.

"It's only a second Soul Skill, and it comes from just a Thousand-Year Soul Ring. How powerful could it possibly be?"

"That's true!"

Though they were still puzzled, Yang Yuan's words made sense.

Qian Renxue, however, recalled how different phenomena had appeared in Yang Yuan's left and right eyes when he absorbed the two Soul Rings, and a guess immediately formed in her mind.

Since it was not because of the Soul Skills, then Yang Yuan's Martial Soul must have undergone some sort of mutation, triggering that phenomenon earlier.

And the truth was exactly as Qian Renxue had guessed.

After the strange divine abilities in the Double Pupil's left and right eyes awakened, Yang Yuan could feel that the origin power of his Double Pupil had grown stronger once again.

If he were to observe Tang San using a Tang Sect Ultimate Art again, he would probably only need one glance to copy it perfectly.

That was the charm of the Double Pupil!

The Double Pupil was already an invincible path, so why would he need...

Pah!

What was he thinking?

He had nearly neglected the Supreme Bone!

Yang Yuan hurriedly dismissed the thought and examined the crystalline Treasure Bone within his body, which was covered in dense runes.

Perhaps the Double Pupil was simply too heaven-defying and had overshadowed the Supreme Bone's brilliance, but that did not mean the Supreme Bone was weak.

On the contrary, even in Douluo, the Supreme Bone remained an invincible existence.

With the Supreme Bone's enhancement, Yang Yuan's body and physique grew stronger every moment.

Beyond that, the various resistances in his body were also exceptionally heaven-defying.

For instance, the tiny bit of poison carried by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass after absorbing the Mandala Snake could be swallowed by Yang Yuan by the pound without causing him the slightest harm.

"Alright, let's leave this place first."

"We made such a huge disturbance just now. If it draws the attention of some powerful soul beasts, it may be difficult to get away."

Qian Renxue said solemnly.

Snake Lance Douluo nodded slightly, and the three of them immediately packed up and swiftly left the area.

Before long, they arrived at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest's exit.

Yang Yuan blurted out, "Sister Qianxun, aren't you hunting for a Soul Ring?"

Qian Renxue shook her head with a smile.

"Your sister has already absorbed a Soul Ring. If I hadn't encountered you, I might have already left."

Naturally, this was a lie.

After all, the Soul Ring she was seeking on this journey was her Fifth Soul Ring. If Yang Yuan saw it, he might suspect her true identity.

So it was safer to send Yang Yuan into Heaven Dou Academy first. The matter of the Soul Ring could wait.

Yang Yuan could see Qian Renxue's Soul Power bottleneck, so he knew she was lying.

But he quickly understood her concern.

Not long afterward, Yang Yuan boarded Qian Renxue's luxurious carriage, which had been left in Qinglan Town.

The carriage was lined with thick cushions and was extremely comfortable to sit in.

Yang Yuan lounged atop them contentedly, a hint of enjoyment on his face.

"Sister Qianxun, your carriage is so much more comfortable than the one I took to Qinglan Town."

Seeing this, Qian Renxue smiled. "If you like this carriage, I'll give it to you once we reach Heaven Dou City."

"Then thank you, Sister Qianxun. You're so generous."

Yang Yuan chuckled and gave her a thumbs-up, accepting Qian Renxue's sugar-coated offer without hesitation.

Qian Renxue smiled in satisfaction as well.

She was not afraid that Yang Yuan would accept everything. She was afraid that he would accept nothing.

Wasn't it just money?

She had plenty of it!

As long as she could earn Yang Yuan's favor, forget money—even Soul Bones were something Qian Renxue would be willing to give.

Two days later, Yang Yuan finally saw Heaven Dou's most prosperous city.

Heaven Dou City!

Qian Renxue brought Yang Yuan to an exquisite residence in the southern part of the city.

After ordering someone to park the carriage, Qian Renxue pointed at the residence and chuckled.

"Little Brother Yang, you don't have anywhere to stay in Heaven Dou City. I'll give you this house along with that carriage."

"Take a look. Do you like it?"

After hearing this, Yang Yuan's eyes lit up as he looked over the residence, then he broke into a grin.

"Sister Qianxun, you've given me both a carriage and a house. I truly have no way to repay you. How about I offer myself to you instead?"

Snake Lance Douluo, standing nearby, could not help rolling his eyes at Yang Yuan.

You brat, you're taking everything you can get!

Qian Renxue merely laughed at his words, treating them as childish nonsense and ignoring them.

Little did she know.

That joking remark would one day become reality.
