In Heaven Dou City.
Aside from Dugu Yan, several other members of the Imperial Dou Team returned home and immediately told their families about what they had encountered in Sunset Forest. When they learned that someone could absorb a Thousand Year First Soul Ring—
These families were blinded by the enormous potential benefits and dispatched quite a few people toward Sunset Forest.
However.
There was one family that was an exception.
That was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Tianheng had been struck by Tsukuyomi, suffering a severe mental blow. Although Qin Ming personally escorted Yu Tianheng back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, its members had nearly come into conflict with Qin Ming on the spot.
After all, Qin Ming had led the group to Sunset Forest to Hunt Soul Beasts for the team members.
Yet after a single hunt.
Yu Tianheng had returned in such a state.
Qin Ming was their leading teacher. He had failed to protect his student and allowed something like this to happen to Yu Tianheng. If they did not hold Qin Ming accountable, who else were they supposed to blame?
Fortunately, Qin Ming's status as a teacher of Heaven Dou Royal Academy made the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan show him some respect and choose to stop. Otherwise, Qin Ming likely would not have walked out of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in one piece.
Yu Tianheng was still unconscious. With this kind of mental injury, he would need at least a month or so to recover.
But the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was not one to be trifled with.
After asking about the attacker's appearance.
They immediately.
Dispatched people to Sunset Forest to search for Taichu, intending to let him know the consequences of daring to lay a hand on a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
They were a family that had sent people after Taichu purely to avenge Yu Tianheng.
Unlike the other families, who had all gone Aiming For the method of absorbing a Thousand Year First Soul Ring.
Of course.
A major reason for this was that Qin Ming had not mentioned Taichu's Thousand Year First Soul Ring at all.
But by the time they began taking action, Taichu had already left Sunset Forest long ago.
After leaving Sunset Forest.
Taichu arrived in a nearby city, bought some well-fitting clothes, and headed toward the Soul Fighting Arena after changing into them.
Wearing a Spiral Mask, he naturally drew quite a few gazes.
However.
No one paid much attention to it. After all, all kinds of people came to the Soul Fighting Arena. Some wanted to make a name for themselves, some were merely there to earn money, and some disliked showing their real faces or using their real names.
He had the Soul Fighting Arena arrange one-on-one matches for him.
He fought five matches in a single day.
Yet not one opponent could defeat him. He won five straight matches in a day, making quite a splash and ensuring that everyone remembered the man in the Spiral Mask.
During the rest of his time there, he watched other fights in the Soul Fighting Arena, specifically seeking out battles involving Soul Masters with the Lightning Attribute.
The Mangekyō Sharingan activated.
It copied the Soul Skills of one Lightning Attribute Soul Master after another.
However.
In a small city, the strongest Soul Masters in the Soul Fighting Arena hovered around the Soul Elder level. He had yet to encounter even a single Soul Ancestor, Not To Mention that among those Soul Masters, he could only choose Lightning Attribute Soul Skills to copy.
As a result, he copied very few Lightning-type Soul Skills.
Most were Decade Soul Skills, with only a small number of Century Soul Skills.
Still, it counted as some gains.
A day later.
He immediately left that small city.
He did not know when the Imperial Dou Team members would return home, or whether anyone would later search for or track him. It was best not to linger in one place for too long. Otherwise, if someone truly was hunting him down, staying put would make it easy for them to Catch Up.
After leaving.
He immediately headed for the next city.
Only by leaving traces of himself everywhere could he make it difficult for them to determine his exact location.
In the blink of an eye.
Four months passed.
Although he had traveled as swiftly as possible, there was still considerable distance between cities, and the journeys took up plenty of time.
In order to scatter his trail across the continent.
He fought his way through the Soul Fighting Arenas of city after city, from the Heaven Dou Empire all the way to the Star Luo Empire. During that time, he obtained countless Lightning-type Soul Skills. Nearly ninety percent were useless Decade Soul Skills, with Century Soul Skills making up a small portion, while he copied only a tiny number of Millennium Soul Skills.
In the end.
After making a great circuit from Heaven Dou to Star Luo, he entered Star Dou Forest.
He stayed in the Fringe Area for half a month before leaving.
Afterward.
He removed all of his disguises.
Only then did he spend another month or so returning to Nuoding City.
After returning home.
When Su Yuntao saw him, tears immediately streamed down his face.
"It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."
He had truly been worried that something had happened to his Nephew.
"You little brat, you went out to hunt a Second Soul Ring for more than half a year and didn't even send a letter back. I thought something had happened to you out there. I was practically about to set up a memorial tablet for you at home."
Su Yuntao said irritably.
"I accidentally forgot."
Taichu scratched his head as he spoke.
He had been so focused on traveling through various cities, entering Soul Fighting Arenas, copying Soul Skills, and copying Combat Techniques that he had cast everything else aside. Only after Su Yuntao mentioned it did he remember that he could have sent a letter home first, at least so his family would not have to worry about him.
Seeing this.
Su Yuntao could only sigh helplessly.
"Did you successfully absorb your Second Soul Ring?"
Remembering this, he immediately asked.
"Of course."
Taichu answered confidently.
As he spoke.
The Martial Soul Mangekyō Sharingan appeared in his eyes. Two purple Soul Rings emerged around him, while the Soul Power Fluctuation of level 24 radiated from his body. Unfortunately, he had spent more than half a year running about everywhere and copying Soul Skills, greatly reducing his cultivation time. Otherwise, his Soul Power Level should have reached level 25.
"Good, good, good!!!"
Su Yuntao excitedly patted Taichu on the shoulder and said happily.
Level 24 Soul Power!
A seven-year-old Soul Grandmaster!
Both his first and second Soul Rings were Thousand Year Soul Rings!
The Su Family.
Would definitely produce a Titled Douluo in the future!
"My Nephew has..."
"Stop, Uncle. Save that for when I become a Titled Douluo."
Overcome with excitement, Su Yuntao was about to shout that phrase again. Taichu hurriedly interrupted his Uncle. He always felt that the trouble he had caused while hunting his Second Soul Ring, and the fact that people had set their sights on him, might have been the curse of those very words!
Don't say it. Don't say it!
"Fine! Once you become a Titled Douluo, Uncle will go out and brag again!"
Su Yuntao said with a wide grin.
That evening.
Because Taichu had returned, Su Yuntao happily invited Sisi and Ma Xiunuo over, spending a small fortune on fine wine and good food. After traveling and hiding outside for so long, Taichu felt the warmth of home upon returning, and the tightly wound tension in him finally eased.
That night.
He had a wonderful dream.
