Breakthrough Level Fifty!

Sword Douluo, who had originally intended to just go through the motions, ended up staying at the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace for a full three days.

Congratulations on comprehending Sword Heart! Sword Path Advancement Seven Stages, rewarded with seven evolution points.

Early that morning, as Qin Yuan was receiving guidance from Sword Douluo, a line of information suddenly appeared before his eyes.

At the same time, an incomparably sharp sword intent erupted from his body, and the sycamore leaves drifting around him were silently pulverized.

With surprise erupting in his eyes, Qin Yuan turned abruptly to look at Sword Douluo.

Only to find Sword Douluo staring at him with a completely dazed expression.

No way, he just broke through like that?

According to his estimates, even with his guidance, it should have taken at least two or three months to reach the realm of Sword Master.

But what was going on now?

I've only been guiding you for a mere three days, how did you already break through! You're making it look like I have no talent for the sword!

Sword Douluo was struggling to keep his composure.

But he had his pride.

Therefore, he feigned calmness and said:

"Not bad, only a little bit worse than me."

Qin Yuan felt that this old man wasn't telling the truth, but he had no evidence, so he said with feigned shame:

"Senior Sword Douluo is right to lecture me; it took me half a year of studying the sword to step into the realm of Sword Master, I have let you see a joke."

A certain Douluo who had taken fifteen years to step into the realm of Sword Master: "ㅍ_ㅍ"

This brat is doing it on purpose! He is absolutely doing it on purpose!!

Sword Douluo had never been so sensitive before.

Sword Douluo left, swearing that he would never come to this godforsaken place again; what a piece of work!

Ning Rongrong, who had only spent three days with Brother Yuan, expressed that she didn't want to leave, clinging tightly to her Brother Yuan and refusing to let go, crying and shouting that she didn't want to leave Brother Yuan.

If it weren't for her father dragging her away, Qian Renxue, who had already developed murderous intent, might have been unable to stop herself from taking action.

In the end, Ning Rongrong left with red eyes, looking back with every step, calling out "Brother Yuan" with every breath, completely reluctant to part.

Even as she's leaving, she's still provoking me... Qian Renxue's murderous intent boiled, and at the same time, she couldn't help but glare at her Xiao Yuan.

Qin Yuan trembled in fear: "ヾ(;ﾟ;Д;ﾟ;)ﾉﾞ"

Long after leaving the palace gates, Ning Rongrong in the carriage was still hanging her little head, her eyes red, remaining silent.

Ning Fengzhi felt pity in his heart, but also a headache.

He naturally knew his daughter's feelings, but whenever he thought of the rules of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The future Sect Master's partner must be a powerful Battle Soul Master!

And Qin Yuan, with his half-level innate soul power, simply wouldn't do. He couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart:

"This is destined to be a relationship without a future."

To prevent his daughter from sinking deeper, he felt he had to take action; he needed to cut off her contact with Qin Yuan as soon as possible and let time dilute these feelings.

It would be best to let his daughter go out and see the world, to let her know that there were plenty of men more outstanding than Qin Yuan.

And preferably someone of the same age.

Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but think of Shrek Academy.

So he looked at his daughter and smiled gently:

"Rongrong, it's time for you to go to a high-level Soul Master Academy and spend more time with your peers; you can't stay in the sect forever. Which academy do you want to go to?"

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy!" Ning Rongrong didn't hesitate at all, her dim, beautiful eyes now sparkling and shining as if they were glowing.

Ning Fengzhi's mouth twitched; he would have to be insane to let his daughter go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy—how was that any different from delivering meat to the mouth of a wolf?

The Qin Yuan he looked down upon was right there in Heaven Dou City!

Thus, he patiently tried to persuade her, reasoning with her and appealing to her emotions. After a great deal of talk, Ning Rongrong finally gave up on going to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and chose to go to Shrek Academy instead.

Seeing his daughter finally relent, Ning Fengzhi breathed a secret sigh of relief:

"Finally, she's away from that Qin Yuan. When Rongrong participates in the Soul Master Tournament in the future and witnesses countless Soul Master geniuses, she should stop looking at that waste."

Then, he sighed again with full regret in his heart:

"The son-in-law I am most satisfied with is still Ling Tian, but unfortunately, this child, sigh..."

Half a year later.

[Sword Path Advancement: Nine Segments, Gained Nine Evolution Points]

As Qin Yuan practiced his sword, a line of information suddenly appeared before his eyes.

His eyes lit up, he stopped his sword-dancing movements, sheathed his sword, and tossed it into his Storage Soul Tool.

"Finally broke through to Sword Path Nine Segments," Qin Yuan exhaled a long breath, full of emotion.

With a thought, he summoned his status panel.

[Name: Qin Yuan]

[Age: 13 years old]

[Martial Soul: Golden Dragon]

[Soul Power: Level 40 (+)]

[Soul Rings: Three-Clawed Dark Gold Dragon Soul Ring (6324 years) (+), Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon Soul Ring (4444 years) (+), Titan Tremor Roar Soul Ring (6666) (+)]

[Soul Bone: Golden Dragon Wings (5444 years) (+)]

[Skills: Chess Path Nine Segments (5679/50000), Carving Path Nine Segments (4289/50000), Sword Path Nine Segments (0/50000)]

[Evolution Points: 46]

His gaze immediately shifted down to the Skills section. Looking at Chess Path and Carving Path, even though he hadn't studied them much this year, his comprehension deepened with the passage of time.

It was just that his progress was slower without focused study.

Then, his gaze fell on the Evolution Points section.

This year, from first touching Sword Path to reaching Nine Segments, he had accumulated forty-five Evolution Points. Adding the one remaining from before, he had exactly forty-six.

Because he needed to fight in the Great Soul Arena to gain Sword Path experience, he hadn't used Evolution Points to increase his Soul Power Level.

However, after a year of cultivation, his Soul Power had still increased by two and a half levels, breaking through to Level 40 just a few days ago.

Possessing Extreme Power, after breaking through Level 30, his Soul Power began to compress to the extreme, making his Soul Power quality and depth far surpass Soul Masters of the same level.

But this also drastically reduced his Soul Power cultivation speed; only two and a half levels in a year!

His gaze moved up, and he looked at his age, sighing:

"Already thirteen years old. In another year, it'll be the Soul Master Tournament. Time flies!"

Qin Yuan's eyes gleamed. It was time to plan for Immortal Herbs!

But before that...

The corners of his mouth slowly curved upwards:

"System, give me points!!!"

Without a shred of hesitation, he went all in.

All his Evolution Points were used to increase his Soul Power Level.

In the blink of an eye, the year's accumulation of Evolution Points was reduced to just one.

But correspondingly, his Soul Power began to surge like a volcanic eruption! It skyrocketed!

Level 41!

Level 43!

Level 46!

Level 49!

Level 51!

Yes, his Soul Power finally settled at... Level 51!

A Soul King at thirteen years old!

At Level 40, the Soul Ancestor level, increasing by one level required four Evolution Points.

And at Level 50, the Soul King level, increasing by one level required five Evolution Points.

Spending forty-five Evolution Points, his Soul Power directly leaped across a major realm!

Feeling his Soul Power increase by an unknown number of times, Qin Yuan's exceptionally handsome face was filled with intoxication.

This was the feeling of increasing power, truly satisfying~

After a long while, he regained his composure, raised a hand to stroke his chin, and secretly thought:

"With my current Soul Power, absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring for my fourth Soul Ring is not a problem. Soul Shock no longer has much effect on me, but..."

A crazed look appeared on his face:

"But how can I be content with absorbing a mere ten-thousand-year Soul Ring? My fourth and fifth Soul Rings will absorb at least thirty thousand years each!

With the power of the Immortal Herbs then, after absorbing my fourth and fifth Soul Rings, my Soul Power will surely soar directly to Level 60!

When I return from the Star Dou Great Forest, I will be a Soul Emperor! A thirteen-year-old Soul Emperor!!"

This would save over fifty Evolution Points!

Qin Yuan, who had worked himself to exhaustion for a year learning skills, only gained forty-five Evolution Points!

As for how he would withstand the thirty-thousand-year Soul Ring limit at Level 50, a limit that only Soul Saints could bear, he already had a plan.
