Seven days later,
Two figures stood in front of the Worship Hall, holding each other in a gentle embrace.
"Sister Xue, I'll wait for you."
Hearing Qin Tian's words, Qian Renxue smiled tenderly, her eyes full of affection.
"Xiao Tian, work hard at your cultivation. I'll be waiting for you in Heaven Dou City."
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Qin Tian's lips curled up slightly, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"Sister Xue, I'm already a Quasi-Soul Ancestor at level forty. Once I get a suitable Soul Ring, I'll be a Soul Ancestor."
"In just a few years, I'll definitely catch up to you. You'll have to work hard at your cultivation, or I might overtake you."
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at Qin Tian, her voice full of exasperation.
"Xiao Tian, have you forgotten that I have two Ultimate Attributes now? Even if I cultivate as hard as I can, I still..."
"You're the one who breaks through Soul Power as easily as drinking water or eating a meal. I'm really jealous."
Qin Tian laughed smugly at that.
After refining the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and tempering his body with Ice and Fire Body Tempering, a miniature Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had formed inside him, allowing his body to absorb the Soul Power drifting through the world at all times.
To put it bluntly, even if Qin Tian didn't meditate, his Soul Power would accumulate on its own.
After chatting a little longer, Qin Tian and Qian Renxue finally parted. He watched her leave until her figure disappeared from sight.
"Xiao Tian."
A voice sounded by his ear. Qin Tian pulled himself from his thoughts and turned to look at the speaker, his expression respectful.
"Teacher, Second Grandfather."
Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo gazed into the distant sky, their eyes filled with reluctance as well.
"Xiao Tian, your Soul Power has been at level forty for several days. I've had someone find a suitable Soul Ring for you. Let Golden Crocodile take you there."
Hearing this, Qin Tian looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo and smiled.
"Second Grandfather, sorry for the trouble. You'll have to accompany me on another trip."
Golden Crocodile Douluo laughed freely at Qin Tian's words.
"Xiao Tian, let's set off now. You're sure to be satisfied with this Soul Ring."
With that, Golden Crocodile Douluo flew toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ling Yuan Douluo appeared from thin air and summoned her Martial Soul, the Fire Phoenix. She brought Qin Tian onto its back, and they headed for the Star Dou Great Forest.
On the Fire Phoenix's back, Qin Tian looked at Ling Yuan Douluo and spoke with a smile.
"Ling Yuan, congratulations on successfully evolving your Martial Soul. This is my first time seeing it."
Ling Yuan Douluo smiled broadly at Qin Tian's congratulations.
"Xiao Tian, thank you for giving me the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. My Martial Soul wouldn't have evolved without it."
"This time, it wasn't just my Martial Soul that evolved. My Soul Power has reached level ninety-four, and I'm only one step away from becoming a Super Douluo."
As she said this, Ling Yuan Douluo looked at Qin Tian, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Xiao Tian, don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one will hurt you."
Qin Tian nodded slightly at Ling Yuan Douluo's words but didn't respond. Instead, he looked toward the distant sky, his mood growing heavier.
Time was running short. There were just over four years until the protagonist, Tang San, awakened his Martial Soul.
In other words, he had just over four years. During that time, he had to cultivate with all his might, increase his strength, and then cut off Tang San's opportunities.
He had already taken the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Without the Immortal Herbs' help, Tang San wouldn't be able to undergo Ice and Fire Golden Body Refinement, and his Blue Silver Grass wouldn't gain immunity to water and fire.
Next, he needed to deal with the Blue Silver Emperor's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, the Blue Silver King in the Blue Silver Forest, and Tang Hao.
Qin Tian really wanted to know what would happen to Tang San, given his personality, without Tang Hao to protect him.
Before long, they reached the Star Dou Great Forest. Seeing Qin Tian still lost in thought, Ling Yuan Douluo had to remind him.
"Xiao Tian, we've arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest."
Hearing Ling Yuan Douluo's words, Qin Tian pulled himself from his thoughts and looked down.
Towering trees stretched endlessly, the roars of beasts rang without pause, and the wild, ancient air washed over him. Qin Tian seemed to recall the Lost Trace Canyon. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.
The three landed in the mixed zone. Golden Crocodile Douluo led the way straight toward their target.
Qin Tian was also quite eager to find out what kind of Soul Beast would suit him.
Under Golden Crocodile Douluo's guidance, the three soon reached their destination.
"Xiao Tian, this is the Soul Beast we found for your fourth Soul Ring: a thirty-seven-thousand-year-old Holy Light White Tiger."
Hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, Qin Tian looked at the Holy Light White Tiger not far away, a flash of light passing through his eyes.
"Second Grandfather, sorry to trouble you, but please capture it."
At over thirty-seven thousand years old, the Holy Light White Tiger was certainly a highly suitable choice for his fourth Soul Ring.
He had a feeling he would obtain a powerful Soul Skill this time.
His Martial Soul was the Holy Light Tiger King, which was highly compatible with the Holy Light White Tiger. With such a suitable Soul Ring, he was eager to see what his fourth Soul Skill would be.
Golden Crocodile Douluo made his move, and in only a moment, the Holy Light White Tiger was on its last legs.
Seeing this, Qin Tian immediately stepped forward, drew his short sword, and finished off the Holy Light White Tiger to spare it further suffering.
Specks of black light surged from the Holy Light White Tiger's body. In just a few breaths, they formed a black Soul Ring.
Feeling the energy contained in the Soul Ring, Qin Tian didn't hesitate. He sat cross-legged, activated Martial Soul Possession, and began absorbing it.
Guided by Qin Tian, the black Soul Ring floated above his head. Its vast energy surged toward him like a rushing river, and Qin Tian worked with all his might to refine it.
As he refined this terrifying energy into his own Soul Power, he also guided the immense force to break through the narrow, blocked meridians.
"Roar!"
The Holy Light White Tiger's remnant soul appeared in his Divine Sea and let out a thunderous roar.
Qin Tian immediately summoned his Martial Soul, the Holy Light Tiger King. As soon as it appeared, the Holy Light White Tiger's remnant soul began trembling.
The Holy Light Tiger King was a superior Soul Beast to the Holy Light White Tiger, and possessed absolute dominance over it.
At Qin Tian's command, the Holy Light Tiger King pounced on the Holy Light White Tiger's remnant soul.
The remnant soul couldn't even fight back. Under the Holy Light Tiger King's intimidation, it turned into specks of golden light that nourished Qin Tian's spiritual sea.
An hour later, Qin Tian opened his eyes and let out a breath of stale air, his face beaming with a smile.
Golden Crocodile Douluo and Ling Yuan Douluo both knew from the sight that Qin Tian had obtained a good Soul Skill.
"Xiao Tian, judging by your expression, you must have gotten a Soul Skill you're very happy with."
Qin Tian smiled and nodded at Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Second Grandfather, I'm very satisfied with the Soul Skill the Holy Light White Tiger gave me."
"Fourth Soul Skill: Holy Light Domain."
Qin Tian immediately activated his fourth Soul Skill. As he did, scorching holy light spread out from him in every direction, stopping only when it reached a hundred meters.
Standing within it, Golden Crocodile Douluo and Ling Yuan Douluo felt their Soul Power continuously draining away, and their faces filled with shock.
They knew the Holy Light White Tiger would give Qin Tian a good Soul Skill, but they hadn't expected it to be a domain-type Soul Skill.
