Special Training from Guang Ling Douluo! Depart! Sunset Forest

Among this group of tall and burly titled elders, Guang Ling Douluo, whose stature was noticeably shorter, sighed helplessly, "Oh my, this old man was planning to go fishing today; I even had the bait ready."

"Very well, come with me."

"Understood." Lin Ye immediately followed in the footsteps of Guang Ling Douluo.

Every titled elder was around a hundred years old, yet Guang Ling Douluo possessed the appearance of a teenager.

While it is true that Titled Douluo can maintain their youthful appearance, they cannot actually revert to childhood.

For a Titled Douluo to be this young was highly abnormal!

Guang Ling's left arm and left eye, which were completely eroded by ice, were also abnormal, and Lin Ye knew the reason: it was because of the flaws inherent in his Guang Ling Ice Bow martial soul.

His left arm, his left eye, and his youthful appearance were all the result of a martial soul backlash.

Soon, Guang Ling brought Lin Ye to the place where he usually cultivated.

"Little brat, my special training is going to be quite painful, you know!~"

"What do you mean, Elder Guang Ling?" Lin Ye asked.

Guang Ling smiled faintly and summoned his Guang Ling Ice Bow martial soul; a terrifying aura of ice-attribute energy rushed toward them, and the ground beneath his feet froze the instant he released it.

However, as he summoned his martial soul, a flicker of pain was clearly visible on his face.

Indeed, Guang Ling felt agony whenever he used his martial soul. It was a sharp, intense pain, though he had grown accustomed to it over the last century.

Guang Ling said, "I will be putting you through two months of special training, and the content of this training is to dodge the arrows I fire."

"If you can dodge one hundred of my arrows in a single continuous session, then my special training will end early."

"Don't worry, I will control the penetrating power and destructive force of the arrows so they won't injure you, but it will still hurt quite a bit if you get hit~"

"I will also control the speed of the arrows; as long as you reach a certain level of reaction speed, you will be able to dodge the first fifty arrows based on your reflexes alone."

"But for the last fifty, you will need to use your spiritual power to perceive them, predict the trajectory of my arrows in advance, and anticipate the direction and position of the impact to dodge ahead of time."

"If you can manage to dodge all one hundred arrows, your reaction speed, predictive ability, and spiritual power will all see a significant improvement."

"Begin!"

As Guang Ling spoke, he gave Lin Ye no time to prepare and suddenly fired an arrow.

"Whoa!"

Lin Ye reacted at his limit, dodging the first arrow in a sorry state.

The second arrow followed immediately.

Lin Ye dodged at his limit once more, then quickly began to run.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Running, jumping, and rolling, Lin Ye dodged nine arrows in one breath.

By the tenth arrow, he had no way to dodge anymore: "It's over!"

Whoosh!

Bang!

"Urgh!" Lin Ye was sent flying by the arrow on the spot and crashed to the ground.

"Damn! That hurts!"

He felt as if his chest had been struck hard by a heavy punch from a strong man; the skin and flesh stung terribly.

"Not bad, let's go again!"

"Wait! Wait! Elder Guang Ling." Lin Ye hurriedly called for a stop.

Guang Ling sat on a rock, swinging his legs, and said with a mocking expression, "What's wrong? Can't handle a little bit of hardship?"

"It's not that. Before we officially begin the special training, there is something this junior must tell you."

"What is it?" Guang Ling said dismissively, toying with a tiny arrow in his hand.

Lin Ye had to secure the Immortal Herb resources as soon as possible to absorb those two top-tier body-tempering Immortal Herbs. Only then could his physical body be strengthened, allowing him to absorb a higher-aged third soul ring.

Therefore, he wanted to settle the matter of the Immortal Herb before returning to accept the special training.

"This junior has heard that your Guang Ling Ice Bow clan suffers from a severe martial soul defect. Those who awaken the Guang Ling Ice Bow are eroded by extreme ice, making it difficult to live a full life."

"Your left arm and left eye have been severely eroded by this ice. Although you can suppress the backlash, the defect of the martial soul must be affecting your power and even causing you constant pain."

"And this junior may have a way to solve the problem of your martial soul backlash!" Lin Ye said with a serious expression.

Guang Ling's face changed upon hearing this.

The fact that the Guang Ling Ice Bow had a martial soul defect was no secret within Martial Soul Hall.

"A little brat like you can solve my martial soul problem?"

Lin Ye stated bluntly, "I once read about a rare and precious herb in an ancient book. If one consumes this herb, the body can develop a powerful resistance to the ice attribute. If you possess a body that can resist the ice, you will no longer be eroded by the ice of your martial soul."

Guang Ling looked a bit disappointed when he heard this: "You're talking about the Ice Soul Snow Heart Lotus, aren't you?"

"Exactly!"

"Heh, such a rare herb is a once-in-a-millennium find. Our clan spent over a hundred years searching for it, and in the process, I've become the last one left of the Guang Ling Ice Bow clan." Guang Ling shook his head with a smile, his eyes carrying a trace of sorrow and desolation.

However, Lin Ye's next words filled the eyes of Guang Ling Douluo with light: "I might know where there is an Ice Soul Snow Heart Lotus!"

"What! Where!?"

"The Sunset Forest!"

Guang Ling Douluo asked: "How do you know that!"

"Within books, one finds houses of gold!" Lin Ye's lips curled upward.

With a confident expression, he said: "Elder Guang Ling, if you take me there, I cannot guarantee it will definitely be there, but I can guarantee that you will not return empty-handed!"

Guang Ling's blood boiled, and he decided immediately: "Fine! You little brat, if you can truly lead me to the Ice Soul Snow Heart Lotus, from this day forward, if anyone on this entire continent dares to bully you, this old man will be the first to stand up and back you!"

"Then, Elder Guang Ling, let us depart immediately."

"Let's go, let's go!"

Guang Ling immediately sent a voice transmission to Azure Luan Douluo: "Third Brother, help me greet the Great Elder; I am taking Lin Ye out for a trip!"

Having said that, Guang Ling grabbed Lin Ye and quickly departed from the Pope Palace.

They traveled at full speed, rushing toward the Sunset Forest.

Ten days later.

The two arrived outside the Sunset Forest.

"Finally here." Lin Ye's mood also began to stir: "I wonder if I will run into Dugu Bo this time."

Even if I do encounter him, with Guang Ling Douluo's level 96 peak cultivation, he is more than enough to crush him.

"Let's go! Lin Ye, this old man will carry you in by flight!"

Guang Ling unfurled his Ice Wings and hoisted Lin Ye up with one hand.

The two flew rapidly into the depths, quickly passing through the Poison Mist Forest and arriving at the central region of the Sunset Forest.

They saw a massive, circular mountain range ahead.

It looked like a giant crater, and Lin Ye knew the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was inside.

"Elder Guang Ling, it should be in there!"

"Let's go!"

Guang Ling carried Lin Ye as they flew above the mountains. Looking at the unique environment within, he also sensed that this place was extraordinary.

Perhaps it really is here!

Guang Ling was excited.

"Let's go down!"

The two descended rapidly.

But during this very descent, Dugu Bo, who was sitting not far from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well cultivating, instantly opened his eyes.

His eyes narrowed slightly, cold and vicious like a serpent: "What death-seeking fools dare to trespass into the residence where I, Dugu Bo, am cultivating!!"
