With Sun and Moon in Hand, I Pluck the Stars; None in This World Are Like Me

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart.

He carefully sized up Su Fan.

They were clearly about the same age, yet Su Fan possessed such methods.

Was this a soul skill?

He had not even released a soul ring.

If it was not a soul skill, then how had he done it?

Huo Yuhao did not understand, but Bei Bei and Tang Ya did.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with alarm.

"My name is Bei Bei, and this is Tang Ya. We are students of Shrek Academy."

The two of them introduced themselves seriously.

"Su Fan, from the Dou Ling Empire."

Su Fan gave a simple introduction.

Bei Bei and Tang Ya exchanged another glance, both seeming thoughtful.

Bei Bei planned to ask Xu Sanshi about it after they returned.

There was actually such a monster within the Dou Ling Empire's borders.

Judging by his age, he probably had not entered an academy yet this year, had he?

Huo Yuhao did not ask for any seasonings.

With only salt, he grilled the fish to an extraordinary level.

Su Fan praised him. "Your skill at grilling fish is no simple matter either. You have even used the power of your martial soul to grill fish."

Huo Yuhao smiled shyly.

He thought Su Fan meant that he had used his Spirit Eye to observe changes in the fish's texture during the grilling process.

In truth, Su Fan was referring to his spiritual power.

In Su Fan's perception, a faint force carrying spiritual fluctuations had blended into the fish as Huo Yuhao grilled it.

It was not pure spiritual power.

Rather, it was a force imbued with spiritual fluctuations.

After finishing the grilled fish, Su Fan did not linger.

An hour later.

An indiscriminate Mental Shock that covered the entire area descended.

Su Fan could not block it.

Nor could he.

This was a soul skill Tian Meng had specifically used to clear the area.

It did not kill a single person or beast, but it stunned every living thing within a ten-kilometer radius.

No one could be allowed to witness his sacrifice.

Su Fan had anticipated this long ago.

He had taken out the Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife in advance.

Using Heaven Sealing Earth Locking, he suppressed the Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife's aura.

When he fell unconscious, the suppression vanished as well.

The Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife's aura was exposed to heaven and earth.

The sky darkened.

Rumble!

A crack appeared in the sky.

"With sun and moon in hand, I pluck the stars; none in this world are like me!"

Electrolux's voice echoed through the skies above Star Dou.

A stream of gray air shot out from the crack.

His Divine Sense swept over the land below. After hesitating for a moment, Electrolux rushed toward Su Fan.

With a casual gesture, he erased the baleful aura from the Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife.

The formerly vicious engraving knife instantly changed in appearance.

Its entire body turned emerald green, as though carved from crystal, radiating a fresh aura of life.

A green light was drawn into the gray airflow, which then wrapped around the green engraving knife and entered Su Fan's glabella.

"What a wondrous cultivation method."

As he entered Su Fan's Sea of Consciousness, Electrolux also saw Su Fan's Ancestral Aperture.

Sensing the mysteries of that Ancestral Aperture, even he could not help stopping to examine it for a moment.

"Wake up, quickly!"

After entering Su Fan's Sea of Consciousness, he did not fall asleep. Instead, he shouted loudly.

His voice traveled through Su Fan's Sea of Consciousness and directly into Su Fan's soul.

The next moment, Su Fan abruptly woke up.

"What a powerful Mental Shock. Before him, I did not have the slightest ability to resist."

Su Fan had truly experienced Tian Meng's strength.

People always said Tian Meng was weak, but in the field of spiritual power, Tian Meng's strength was beyond doubt.

Even without any special tricks, the sheer numbers were there.

"Little fellow, it is time to leave. This place is no longer safe."

An aged voice rang out in his mind.

Su Fan acted greatly shocked.

He appeared shocked on the surface, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

"Who are you?"

Within his Sea of Consciousness, he swiftly condensed a spiritual body. Looking at the spiritual body of Electrolux formed from the separated gray airflow, he appeared uncertain and wary.

This uncertainty was genuine.

Electrolux had far more vitality than he had imagined.

Had he not directly fallen asleep in the original story?

"Thanks to that treasure of yours, little fellow. Otherwise, I might have dissipated between heaven and earth." Electrolux sighed.

"Leave this place first. Something big is approaching."

Faced with Electrolux's repeated warning, Su Fan could only get up and leave.

He had already achieved his goal for this trip, so there was nothing to linger over.

He continued exchanging information with Electrolux in his Sea of Consciousness.

Before long, he understood Electrolux's origins.

"You flatter me, Senior. If not for you, I would not have been able to resolve the curse power of the Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife. How could I have enjoyed the effects of the Blade of Life?"

Electrolux said nothing more.

His spiritual body dispersed, transforming into a gray orb of light that floated above Su Fan's Sea of Consciousness.

However, that did not mean he had stopped speaking.

He simply no longer revealed his true form.

"I just examined you. Those Apertures inside your body are unique to you; no other Soul Masters possess them."

"Yes, this is a completely new cultivation method I created based on my own martial soul," Su Fan said.

"Remarkable." Electrolux praised, "Your Aperture Method has greatly expanded the cultivation system of this plane."

Lingdou City.

Dou Ling Royal Soul Master Academy.

"You finally came back."

Director Chi rushed to Su Fan's dormitory with an expression of lingering fright.

Su Fan asked doubtfully, "Director, what happened?"

"Uh, well, you went out, and I was worried about your safety." Director Chi scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Su Fan was speechless.

He actually understood as well. He was now the future ace of the Dou Ling Team.

Winning the championship!

Defeating Shrek Academy and taking the championship.

This was what countless academies across the continent yearned for.

Su Fan undoubtedly possessed the ability to lead the entire Dou Ling Team in defeating the Shrek Team.

At only eleven years old, Su Fan had already reached the cultivation of a Soul Ancestor. It could be said that none had come before him, and none would come after.

"Director, I only went out for a while. There was no danger."

"How could there be no danger? Xiao Fan, remember this: when you hunt for your fifth soul ring, you must tell the academy. Even if you want a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, do not recklessly do it alone. Our academy has several Spirit Douluos, after all, and the imperial family supports us as well. We might even be able to invite a Title Douluo for you."

Su Fan felt a little dizzy.

Director Chi's words had completely led him astray.

"No, Director, what does me going out have to do with hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?"

"I thought your Soul Power had surged to level fifty again."

Director Chi's mouth twitched.

His concern was not unfounded.

Su Fan had no way to refute him.

Back when he was a Soul Elder, with the aid of an Immortal Herb and a Ten-Thousand Year Soul Ring, he had reached level thirty-nine immediately after absorbing the soul ring.

But he had no way to explain that to the academy.

So he had not explained it at the time.

He had directly remained stuck at the threshold between level thirty-nine and level forty for half a year. After completing his Heavenly Circuit Apertures, he applied for another round of Soul Hunting.

From the academy's perspective, this was terrifying.

He had crossed the entire Soul Elder stage in half a year.

At the time, even an associate dean had thought he had suffered cultivation deviation and fallen onto the path of an Evil Soul Master, and had thoroughly examined him.

Naturally, Su Fan was found to have no problems. The academy once again mobilized considerable resources to hunt his fourth soul ring.

That Soul Hunting trip had taken no less time than the one for Su Fan's third soul ring, lasting a full five months.

More than half a year had passed since then.

Director Chi was genuinely afraid that Su Fan would experience another explosive surge.

Then, dissatisfied with the academy's strength, he would go hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring alone.

Of course, this was merely a baseless worry.

Su Fan had always given him the impression of being very steady.

It could only be said that concern clouded judgment.

Director Chi's expectations for Su Fan were now far too high.
