Ling Yun glanced in the direction of Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy, as if seeing the future appearance of Tang San and Xiao Wu.
He never had a good impression of Tang San to begin with; their values were incompatible.
On the Douluo Continent, there was also a struggle for destiny.
After Tang San became a god, he was still plotting for the destiny of the entire Douluo Continent, which showed the importance of destiny.
Even without Tang Hao causing the ruin of his family, Ling Yun would have clashed with Tang San sooner or later. Now, with blood debts between them, Ling Yun naturally wouldn't show mercy; he would fight for what he wanted.
His goal in heading to Heaven Dou City was clear: to obtain the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
The earlier one consumed these, the greater the benefit to a Soul Master.
The immortal herbs within laid the foundation for the Shrek Seven Devils to become gods and helped Tang San overcome several tribulations.
Among them was Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo who was insidious and cunning, yet exceptionally committed to his promises.
This journey was, firstly, to intercept Tang San's greatest opportunity, and secondly, to scheme for Dugu Bo himself.
He suffered from severe acrophobia of insufficient strength!
The golden finger, Chaos Bead, usually only helped him conceal heavenly secrets, while the golden finger, Yin-Yang Mirror, only helped protect his soul.
These two items were incredibly aloof, usually staying quietly in the depths of his soul.
Especially the Chaos Bead; it definitely had a spirit, but it completely ignored Ling Yun, only lending a wisp of its aura when he awakened his martial soul, shaping his second martial soul for him.
The Yin-Yang Mirror was slightly better. Although aloof, it was willing to acknowledge him and transmitted a cultivation technique to him after he awakened his martial soul.
It also sent a stream of information: "I only provide support; becoming strong is up to you. If you truly die, I can still revive you."
Normal people didn't wish to die, and he was no exception.
If he succeeded in making Dugu Bo his backer, this acrophobia of insufficient strength would be slightly alleviated.
Half a month later, Heaven Dou City.
Ling Yun walked through the bustling streets, looking around with fresh eyes at everything.
Before long, the sound of hooves echoed through the street, and Ling Yun instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
A dozen breaths later, the horse team came into view.
Each horse was snow-white, and the people on their backs were all armored soldiers. Except for the armor of the leading soldier, which was gold, the armor of the rest of the soldiers was white, just like the horses.
In the middle followed a luxurious carriage.
People on the road quickly moved to the sides, their faces filled with excitement, like being at a fan meeting.
Ling Yun was puzzled. Who possessed such charisma to make these people so fervent? Was it Emperor Xue Ye or Prince Xue Xing?
Or perhaps, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe?
He sidled up to a young man and asked, "Hello, big brother. Seeing everyone so excited, which important figure is in this carriage?"
The young man was hot-tempered and slightly annoyed at being disturbed, waving his hand impatiently, "Go, go!"
"Sorry to have bothered you!"
Ling Yun then asked another person, an elderly man who looked very kind.
The old man, seeing Ling Yun as a six-year-old child, looked confused and asked in return, "You haven't seen him before?"
Ling Yun shook his head.
"This is the Crown Prince's exclusive convoy!"
"His Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and loves his people. He inspects the empire every year, and if he encounters any injustice, he will uphold justice, earning him great affection."
"It is precisely for this reason that everyone is so excited!"
"The Crown Prince is the faith of us common people!"
"Thank you, Grandpa, for clearing my doubts! So it's the Crown Prince's convoy. No wonder everyone is so excited! I thought it was the Emperor himself!"
"The Emperor's procession would be much grander! I'm seventy-five years old, and I've only seen the Emperor travel twice."
The old man was very talkative and only stopped when the convoy was within ten meters. At this point, his eyes were filled with reverence as he stared intently at the carriage.
Ling Yun hadn't expected Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's reputation to be so good at this time!
He wondered if Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had already been replaced at this point.
Ling Yun shook his head slightly. Why think so much?
Whether it was Qian Renxue or Xue Qinghe inside, it had nothing to do with him. Being too curious wasn't a good thing.
Like the others who were focused, he also paid attention to the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Xue Qinghe's martial soul trembled slightly. Following its guidance, he determined the direction.
He opened the carriage window, poked his head out, and observed carefully.
Ling Yun naturally noticed him. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a gentle and refined appearance, his long hair neatly falling behind him. A slight smile played on his lips, giving him an approachable aura.
Seeing Xue Qinghe's appearance, the people by the roadside became even more excited. Wherever Xue Qinghe's gaze swept, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd.
In this situation, Ling Yun, not cheering along, seemed out of place, and Xue Qinghe's gaze fell upon him.
He carefully observed Ling Yun's appearance, and finally, their eyes met.
With just that one glance, his martial soul trembled once more.
Having identified his target, he gave a look to the waiting carriage soldier. He then closed the carriage curtains, and a soldier outside approached the carriage, asking, "Your Highness, do you require this subordinate to bring that child over?"
"No! Remember his appearance. After we return, investigate his background. Once you've found out everything, report back to me. Do not act without authorization."
"I quite appreciate this child!"
"Yes!"
Ling Yun knew trouble had arrived! As expected, too much curiosity wasn't a good thing.
He was now certain that the person in the carriage was no longer the original Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, but Qian Renxue of the Martial Soul Hall.
When they made eye contact, his martial soul had fluctuated slightly.
It was a fluctuation that signaled the discovery of something interesting.
The Six-Winged Angel martial soul, Innate Level 20 Soul Power, the only person in the Douluo Continent series to break through the rules of heaven and earth.
Under the restrictions of heaven and earth's rules, Innate Full Soul Power was Level 10. Qian Renxue was the only one at Level 20.
In terms of martial souls alone, the Yin-Yang Mirror was by no means inferior to the Six-Winged Angel, but Ling Yun's Innate Soul Power was still bound by the rules of heaven and earth.
When they made eye contact just now, Qian Renxue caused his martial soul to fluctuate slightly, and he understood.
Innate Level 20, ten levels of it were divine power.
The Yin-Yang Mirror was interested in divine power.
Why did Qian Renxue notice him? Ling Yun fell into thought. He skimmed through his memories regarding Qian Renxue.
He understood; he really should have checked the almanac before leaving home.
The Yang aspect of the Yin-Yang Mirror martial soul symbolized masculinity and light, while the Yin aspect symbolized femininity and darkness.
The abilities of the Yang aspect naturally included the function of the sun.
The Six-Winged Angel martial soul could borrow the power of the sun. Qian Renxue likely noticed him for this very reason.
This was truly vexing!
His five senses were sharp. Although the sounds at the scene were chaotic, it didn't prevent him from hearing their conversation.
His heart was filled with frustration. "I just arrived in Heaven Dou City, and I've already attracted someone's attention!"
