Qin Tian emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and breathed in the fresh air. He felt so refreshed that he couldn't help throwing his head back and letting out a long howl.
"Ah!"
The sound shook the heavens and echoed throughout the valley.
Hearing Qin Tian's howl, Ling Yuan Douluo and Dugu Bo opened their eyes and looked toward the valley's interior, their brows furrowing.
They flashed into the valley and saw Qin Tian standing by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The worry in their eyes gradually faded.
"Your Highness the Holy Son!"
Hearing Ling Yuan Douluo and Dugu Bo call out to him, Qin Tian smiled.
"Elder Ling Yuan, Elder Dugu."
Ling Yuan Douluo and Dugu Bo stared at Qin Tian, their eyes filled with shock.
They could feel a pressure coming from him, and neither of them could discern his strength.
"Gasp!"
"Your Highness the Holy Son, have you been completely transformed? I can't even see through your strength."
Dugu Bo couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath. He clearly remembered Qin Tian's age: twelve years old. He was only twelve, and yet Dugu Bo couldn't see through him.
And Dugu Bo's strength had already reached rank ninety-five, making him a Super Douluo.
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Qin Tian calmly waved a hand.
"Elder Dugu, it was just a bit of good fortune. There's no need to be so surprised."
At this, Dugu Bo's throat seemed to catch. Then, his voice trembling, he asked, "Y-Your Highness the Holy Son, just how strong are you now?"
Qin Tian's lips curled slightly, and a smug look crossed his face.
"Ahem!"
"Thanks to a bit of good fortune, I accidentally broke through. I'm now a rank seventy-eight Soul Saint."
Ling Yuan Douluo and Dugu Bo were both dumbfounded.
"What? A rank seventy-eight Soul Saint?"
"Your Highness the Holy Son, you've become a Soul Saint? And a rank seventy-eight Soul Saint at that—only two ranks away from Quasi-Soul Douluo!"
"Gasp!"
"A monster! You really are a monster. At your age, I was still a Soul Grandmaster, one step away from Soul Elder. But Your Highness the Holy Son is a Soul Saint—and not even a low-ranking one, but a high-ranking Soul Saint."
"A high-ranking Soul Saint—a realm so many Soul Masters can never reach. Yet Your Highness the Holy Son achieved it at just twelve."
Dugu Bo was filled with emotion. Qin Tian was a high-ranking Soul Saint at twelve, while Dugu Bo had still been a Soul Grandmaster at that age. Comparing the two, he...
He had thought that after breaking through to rank ninety-five and becoming a Super Douluo, he could finally show off a little. But before he'd even gotten the chance, Qin Tian had dealt him a crushing blow...
At Qin Tian's current rate of advancement, it would probably take only a few years for him to reach rank ninety-five.
Ling Yuan Douluo looked at Qin Tian, her eyes shining.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, you're progressing way too quickly. At rank seventy-eight, you'll probably become a Soul Douluo before long. I expect it'll only take a few years for you to surpass me."
Looking at the two of them, Qin Tian decided to give them a little shock.
"Ahem!"
"Just a bit of good fortune. A bit of good fortune."
As he spoke, Qin Tian summoned his Martial Soul, the Holy Light Tiger King—no, it was now the Radiant Evil God Tiger. With the Evil God King's help, his Martial Soul had become a divine-grade Martial Soul, possessing the three attributes of divinity, light, and evil.
The moment the Radiant Evil God Tiger appeared, Ling Yuan Douluo and Dugu Bo both felt immense pressure. The tremors from their Martial Souls told them that Qin Tian's Martial Soul was far superior to their own.
When they saw the Soul Rings around the Radiant Evil God Tiger, their faces filled with astonishment and shock.
"A red Soul Ring—Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!"
The two cried out in alarm at the sight of the vivid, blood-red Soul Ring.
"Wait, this Soul Ring isn't a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. This is...?"
Feeling the oppressive force of the Seventh Soul Ring, Ling Yuan Douluo immediately spoke up.
Seeing their expressions, Qin Tian smiled smugly.
"Thanks to some good fortune, I obtained my Sixth Soul Ring and Seventh Soul Ring."
"My Sixth Soul Ring is 150,000 years old, and my Seventh Soul Ring is 220,000 years old."
Ling Yuan Douluo and Dugu Bo stared at those two red Soul Rings, their eyes full of envy.
These were Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings. Even though they were Super Douluos, neither of them had one. And Qin Tian had two despite being only a Soul Saint—and neither of them was an ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
"Your Highness the Holy Son!"
At that moment, Dugu Bo had only one thought: thank goodness he had sworn allegiance to the Spirit Hall early. Otherwise, he wouldn't just have missed out on having his poison cured—he would never have learned of such a secret...
The Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, the Upper Three Sects, and the Lower Four Sects were already no match for the Spirit Hall. Now that the Spirit Hall had produced such an extraordinary figure as Qin Tian, how long could those forces last?
"Elder Dugu, I'll leave you to guard this place. If anyone dares trespass, kill them without mercy!"
Hearing Qin Tian's words, Dugu Bo nodded solemnly.
"Yes, Your Highness the Holy Son!"
Qin Tian gave a slight nod and looked at Ling Yuan Douluo. Without saying a word, he simply gave her a glance. Then he spread the Evil God Wings behind him and headed for Heaven Dou City.
Ling Yuan Douluo exchanged a glance with Dugu Bo, then followed Qin Tian.
Qin Tian arrived at the Spirit Saint Hall in Heaven Dou City and met with Salas.
"Young Master Tian, during the month you were away, Young Master Tian Yao and the others fought every day at the Great Soul Arena and never lost a single match. They even fought above their rank, with Soul Ancestors challenging Soul Kings."
"The day before yesterday, Young Master Tian Yao and the others left Heaven Dou City to continue Soul Fighting in other cities. I arranged for several people to accompany them."
Qin Tian gave a slight nod, glanced at Salas, then waved for him to leave.
After Salas left, Qin Tian looked at Ling Yuan Douluo and said in a low voice, "Elder Ling Yuan, contact Elder Snake Lance. I want to see Sister Xue."
Ling Yuan Douluo bowed respectfully at Qin Tian's words, then went to contact Snake Lance Douluo.
Qin Tian sat cross-legged and began to sense the changes in his Martial Soul and comprehend the Soul Skills granted by his Soul Rings.
That night, Qin Tian opened his eyes at the sound of a knock. He turned to look at the person who had arrived, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
"Sister Xue, you're here."
Qian Renxue looked at Qin Tian, a trace of resentment in her eyes.
"Xiao Tian, after you arrived in Heaven Dou City, you went straight to cultivate in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Is it really that wonderful in there?"
At Qian Renxue's words, Qin Tian smiled.
"Sister Xue, I gained an incredible amount from this trip. You're no match for me now."
Qian Renxue looked at him in surprise.
"Xiao Tian, are you feeling all right? You're saying I'm no match for you now?"
Qin Tian nodded slightly, then let his aura out.
"Sister Xue, I'm a high-ranking Soul Saint now. My Soul Power has reached rank seventy-eight."
Feeling Qin Tian's aura, Qian Renxue was completely dumbfounded.
It had only been a month. How had Qin Tian gone from Soul Emperor to high-ranking Soul Saint? What had he been doing?
"Sister Xue, that's not all I gained. Take a look at this."
Qin Tian released his Soul Rings. The vivid, blood-red rings stung Qian Renxue's eyes.
Qian Renxue stared at the two Soul Rings in disbelief, her face filled with shock. If she hadn't known what Qin Tian was like, she would have wondered whether she had fallen into an illusion.
