Double Pupil Technique for Seeing, Qilin Step for Walking!

Within Tingtao Pavilion, as the dragonlike fluctuations of Soul Power gradually subsided, Liu Yuan slowly opened his eyes. In his deep Double Pupils, an incomparably condensed radiance flowed.

He let out a long breath, sensing the unceasing river of Soul Power surging through him like great rivers, and the corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously.

Over the past month, he had nearly cut off all contact with the outside world, locking himself inside this small realm rich in spiritual energy. Every day, he replenished his vitality with high-level soul beast meat and frantically circulated the Body Secret Technique.

Under this bitter cultivation that nearly wrung out his potential, his Soul Power cultivation had leaped forward once more, steadily reaching Level 27.

"Level 27. Only three more levels until Level 30." Liu Yuan clenched his fist, feeling the explosive force between his fingers.

At his current cultivation speed, with the Body Secret Technique deeply stimulating his origin, he had absolute confidence that he could challenge the Level 30 bottleneck within two months at most and obtain his own Third Spirit Ring.

As for what his upcoming Third Soul Skill should be, he had long begun considering it:

He carefully analyzed his current combat abilities...

The First Soul Skill, Spirit Ray, had granted him terrifying long-range capability. Its extreme piercing power and searing heat were enough to penetrate the defenses of opponents at the same level or even higher;

The Second Soul Skill, Undying Body, provided him with nearly shameless survivability. So long as his spiritual power did not run dry, he would be the war god who never fell in the arena.

However, this system was not without its weaknesses.

During that spar with Long Aotian, he had deeply realized that once a Power Attack System Soul Master with extreme explosive power closed in on him, or if he encountered an ambush in complex terrain...

He lacked a method to quickly reposition, open up distance, or unleash tremendous force in an instant during close-quarters combat.

"I have Laser Eye for range and Immortal Body for recovery. What I truly lack now is close-range explosive power and an unpredictable movement technique worthy of this body's vitality."

At that thought, a domineering line from his past-life memories surfaced in Liu Yuan's mind: "Use only the Double Pupil Technique to look at people; use only the Qilin Step to walk!"

The Qilin was an ancient divine beast, capable of walking through the air. Its steps were steady, yet heavier than ten thousand jun.

That was the goal for his Third Soul Skill.

The Qilin Step he envisioned could serve as a supreme movement technique, allowing him to move like thunder and leave afterimages that were impossible to track;

It could also, with every step, instantly pour all the vitality and Soul Power in his body through his legs, creating wide-range shock damage or deadly pinpoint stomps.

"Only a Soul Skill that balances movement and attack suits my current 'immortal power-attacker' fighting style."

Liu Yuan pondered silently, already deciding the direction in which to hunt for his Third Spirit Ring.

"Still, I'm three levels away from Level 30..."

"Mm... I need to make the most of my time and keep cultivating!"

"The sooner I reach Level 30, the sooner I can obtain a Soul Ring."

Just as he was about to settle his mind and enter cultivation once more, a familiar set of steady footsteps suddenly sounded outside the pavilion.

"Junior Brother, are you inside?"

As the words fell, a burly figure pushed open the door and entered. It was none other than Senior Brother Long Aotian.

The moment Long Aotian entered the room, his previously casual expression froze.

As a Soul Ancestor in his forties and someone who also possessed Gold Grade potential, he was exceptionally sensitive to fluctuations in Soul Power.

In his eyes, although Liu Yuan sat motionless before him, the Soul Power aura emanating from his body was far more condensed than it had been a month ago. That sense of heaviness was absolutely not something an ordinary one-level breakthrough could possess.

He held his breath and focused, his divine sense sweeping swiftly around Liu Yuan. Then his pupils suddenly contracted, and he cried out in disbelief, "Level 27?! Junior Brother, you rose another two levels?"

Long Aotian felt his head buzzing.

He had cultivated in the Body Sect for many years and had been called a genius by countless people. He had once thought so as well.

But compared to Liu Yuan before him, he increasingly realized just how ordinary he was.

Another two levels in one month?

Including the two levels from last month, didn't that make four levels in two months?

If Liu Yuan kept advancing at this rate, then over twelve months in a year, wouldn't he gain twenty-four levels?

And that did not even include the Soul Power Level increases he would gain after obtaining Soul Rings in the future...

By that logic, wouldn't Liu Yuan surpass him very soon?

The more Long Aotian thought about it, the more shocked he became.

"Senior Brother, what brings you here?" Seeing Long Aotian arrive, Liu Yuan rose directly to his feet and flashed him a dashing smile.

Long Aotian finally came back to his senses.

Looking at Liu Yuan's calm, composed face, he could not help letting out a long sigh. "I originally thought that since we both possess Gold Grade potential, the gap between us should be small. But now it seems that even among those with Gold Grade potential, there are differences!"

He shook his head, a bitter yet admiring curve appearing on his lips. "At this rate, I'm afraid it won't be long before you completely catch up to me."

Liu Yuan humbly waved his hand. "You flatter me, Senior Brother. I merely improved by luck because I had just begun cultivating the Body Sect's secret technique. When it comes to practical combat experience, I'm still far behind you."

Long Aotian patted Liu Yuan's shoulder and sighed. "Stop being so modest, kid. Still, without that monstrous drive, you wouldn't deserve those eyes of yours."

After the pleasantries, Long Aotian's expression turned serious as he finally remembered the matter at hand. "Right, I nearly forgot because of your breakthrough."

"Master just emerged from seclusion. He said there is something important for us to do, and he specifically instructed me to bring you to see him immediately."

"Something extremely important?" Liu Yuan raised a brow. For Du Busi, a Level 98 Super Douluo, to personally intervene and call something "important," it was certainly no trivial matter.

Yet for the moment, he truly had no idea what it could be.

"Let's go. We shouldn't keep Master waiting." Liu Yuan did not delay any further. After straightening his clothes, he and Long Aotian pushed open the door and rushed toward the Sect Master Hall.

A gentle breeze swept past Tingtao Pavilion. The previously peaceful Body Sect seemed poised to stir up another considerable wave because of this double-pupiled youth's emergence from seclusion.

After traveling for some time, Liu Yuan and Long Aotian finally arrived at the Sect Master Hall where Du Busi resided.

The two senior and junior brothers held special statuses, so naturally, they did not need to announce themselves to enter.

Thus, after arriving, they merely exchanged a glance before walking straight inside.

At that moment...

Du Busi was waiting for them in the great hall.

Seeing them arrive, Du Busi revealed a smile.

But before the smile could fully settle, Du Busi sensed Liu Yuan's newly elevated aura, and an expression of intense shock appeared on his face.

"Level 27?"

"Liu Yuan, you brat leveled up again?"
