Ah Yin Meets Ah Rou, Xiao Wu

Xia Yang was delighted upon hearing this and immediately released his Mental Power to carefully sense it.

As expected, Tang Yuehua's Soul Power Fluctuation were robust and stable, having reached the threshold of level eighty, and she needed a suitable Spirit Ring to complete her breakthrough.

"Brother Xia, if you have some free time recently, I'd like to go hunting for the Eighth Soul Ring."

Tang Yuehua revealed her plans.

"Time? Of course!"

Xia Yang agreed without hesitation, and was about to explain the arrangements in detail.

"Report!"

Just then, a palace attendant strode in from outside the hall, interrupting their conversation.

Xia Yang and Tang Yuehua looked in the same direction at the same time.

The attendant approached the two, bowed, and presented a letter bearing a special mark with both hands, saying, "Your Monarch, a letter has arrived from the Spirit Hall, requesting that you proceed to the Spirit Hall as soon as possible to complete the title registration and prepare for the Title Douluo Ceremony."

"The Spirit Hall?"

Xia Yang raised an eyebrow, took the letter, and quickly opened and read it.

The letter was concise and formal, urging the newly promoted Titled Douluo to go to the Spirit Hall Headquarters to complete the necessary procedures and have the Spirit Hall hold a investiture ceremony for him.

After reading the letter, Xia Yang waved for the servants to leave, his expression calm, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Yuehua."

He turned to Tang Yuehua and said, "Let Ah Yin accompany you to hunt for your Eighth Soul Ring."

"She just gave birth to Feng'er not long ago, so this is a good opportunity for her to go out for a walk, relax, and stretch her muscles."

"With her, a Level 96 Titled Douluo, accompanying you, your Eighth Soul Ring should be easy."

"Are you planning to go to the Spirit Hall alone?"

Tang Yuehua immediately understood the implied meaning, her brows furrowed slightly, revealing a look of worry.

"Um."

Xia Yang nodded, and with a slight exertion of his fingers, the exquisite letter was shattered in his palm by an invisible force, turning into wisps of paper that fluttered down.

"It's time to settle some old scores with His Holiness the Pope."

"Should we bring Sea Dragon Douluo and the others along?"

"Or... wait until Ah Yin and I return from our Soul Hunting, and let Ah Yin accompany you?"

Tang Yuehua was still worried.

The Spirit Hall is, after all, the most powerful force, and Qian Xunji is an extremely powerful Pope.

Xia Yang patted Tang Yuehua's hand reassuringly, "Don't worry."

"With my current strength, let alone Qian Xunji, even if a true level 99 Super Douluo came in person, he wouldn't be able to stop me."

"I'll be fine."

Seeing the absolute confidence and determination in Xia Yang's eyes, Tang Yuehua knew she couldn't dissuade him, so she could only softly advise, "Then... Brother Xia, please be careful in everything you do."

"I will."

Xia Yang smiled and nodded, saying, "Go and discuss the Soul Hunting matter with Ah Yin."

"I'll go tell my parents, and then I'll head to the Spirit Hall."

The two then parted ways.

Tang Yuehua turned to find Ah Yin to discuss their plan to hunt for the Eighth Soul Ring in the Star Dou Great Forest (or other suitable habitats for Spirit Beast).

Xia Yang then headed towards the palace where his parents were, briefly explaining the letter from the Spirit Hall and his decision to go Spirit Hall alone.

Afterwards, Xia Yang did not linger. After tidying up briefly, he stepped out of the Zhenhai City Palace alone, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he sped towards the Spirit Hall Headquarters.

After leaving Zhenhai City, Ah Yin and Tang Yuehua traveled together on a journey to obtain Tang Yuehua's Eighth Soul Ring.

During the flight, Tang Yuehua noticed that the direction was not towards the Star Dou Great Forest, so she asked in confusion, "Ah Yin, judging from this route, aren't we going to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"Hmm, we're not going there this time."

Ah Yin's tone was slightly grave as she shook her head and explained, "The depths of the Star Dou Great Forest are no longer peaceful and are not very safe."

She then briefly recounted to Tang Yuehua the events of their previous trip with Xia Yang to hunt for the Ninth Soul Ring, including their encounter with Di Tian and other Ferocious Beast at the Lake of Life, and the resulting turmoil in the forest.

After listening, Tang Yuehua looked enlightened and surprised, saying, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect such a change."

"So, where are we going now...?"

"We're going to the Calamity Mountain Range within the Star Luo Empire."

Ah Yin explained, "Based on the information we gathered earlier and Xia Yang's suggestion, a special kind of Mental Type Spirit Beast called ' Dream Demon ' inhabits that area. Its characteristics are quite compatible with your Ruyi Ring Martial Soul, and it should be able to provide you with a suitable Eighth Soul Ring."

"The Calamity Mountain Range... that's fine too."

Tang Yuehua nodded in agreement.

The two continued flying for a while, and the terrain below gradually changed, with the outline of a city appearing on the distant horizon.

"We've been flying for so long, there's a city ahead. Shall we disembark and rest for a bit?"

Tang Yuehua pointed ahead and asked.

After a moment's thought, Ah Yin nodded and said, "Alright, let's replenish our supplies and rest a bit before continuing our journey."

The two descended, landing towards the city.

Notting City!

Tang Yuehua looked at the plaque at the city gate and murmured.

The two then hurried into the city.

They found a clean-looking restaurant in the city, went inside, and sat down at a table by the window.

It was lunchtime.

Therefore, the restaurant was bustling with people and a bit noisy.

"Miss Ah Rou, your lunch is ready. I've put it all in the lunchbox!"

"Thanks."

A clear, girlish voice responded.

Then, Ah Rou took the food box and prepared to turn and leave.

Suddenly, Ah Yin and Ah Rou both saw each other.

Then, their eyes met in mid-air.

"It's you?"

The two said in unison.

"What's wrong, Ah Yin?"

Tang Yuehua keenly sensed the subtle change in Ah Yin's aura, and then followed her gaze, only to see a beautiful but unfamiliar girl holding a food box standing at the door.

"It's nothing, I just ran into an... old friend."

Ah Yin responded softly, her expression returning to calm. She quickly got up and walked towards the door.

When the girl Ah Rou saw Ah Yin approaching, she instinctively took a half-step back, her body tensing slightly, her eyes filled with wariness, and she lowered her voice to ask, "What do you want to do?"

"We're all... the same kind of people, there's no need to kill each and every one of us, is there?"

She had clearly sensed the shared aura emanating from Ah Yin.

That was a unique soul fluctuation belonging to Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast after it had taken human form.

As Titled Douluo, Ah Yin would not have been able to reveal her origins as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

However, Ah Rou is also Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form.

There was an indescribable feeling between the two of them.

Ah Yin stopped a few steps from the door, gave a gentle smile, and replied in a low voice, "Don't be nervous."

"Like you said, we're the same kind of people, I meant no harm."

Sensing the sincerity in Ah Yin's words, Ah Rou's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Then, Ah Rou whispered, "Thank you."
