Huo Wu and Her Brother's Fourth Soul Skills

While Ling Yun diligently practiced Ring Fusion, a week passed in the blink of an eye.

During that time, the Huo siblings successfully obtained their fourth Soul Rings and returned to Blazing Academy.

As soon as they were back at the academy, Huo Wushuang sought out Ling Yun to show off his cultivation. He burst into laughter and said,

"Ling Yun, my Soul Power has already broken through to level forty-one. Now I'm a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, just like you! Hahaha..."

"Brother, Ling Yun's cultivation is already at level forty-seven. He's a full six levels above you. I really don't know what you're so happy about."

Huo Wu shook her head helplessly, but the corners of her mouth rose all the same. After absorbing her fourth Soul Ring, her Soul Power had reached level forty-two!

"Pfft, who wants to compare himself to this Little Monster?" Huo Wushuang pursed his lips. After witnessing Ling Yun's talent, he knew they weren't even from the same world.

"Hehe, Sister Huo Wu, Big Brother Wushuang, congratulations on becoming Soul Ancestors!" Ling Yun smiled, then asked, "What are your fourth Soul Skills?"

At the mention of their fourth Soul Skills, both their eyes lit up. Huo Wu smiled first. "My fourth Soul Skill is called Blazing Dance Shining Sun. It can gather a huge fireball that incinerates enemies and blasts them to pieces. It's a powerful offensive Soul Skill with terrifying might.

"On top of that, my fourth Soul Skill can track and lock onto its target. Once an opponent is locked on, they can only endure the attack head-on.

"Besides, I can absorb the Soul Power of other fire-attribute Soul Masters to increase the power of Blazing Dance Shining Sun. If I combine it with my Ring Fusion talent, its power can rise even further."

"Hmm... impressive."

Ling Yun nodded slightly after hearing her out. Huo Wu's fourth Soul Skill was no different from the one in the original story.

He then looked toward Huo Wushuang, who smiled and said, "My fourth Soul Skill is called Flame Dragon Claw. Unlike Little Wu's Blazing Dance Shining Sun, Flame Dragon Claw is a close-combat skill.

"When I use it, my arms transform into sharp dragon claws wreathed in flames, and I tear my enemies to shreds!"

"That's impressive too."

Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang complemented each other perfectly, one fighting at range and the other in close combat. Together, they could unleash formidable fighting strength.

After learning what their Soul Skills could do, Ling Yun continued practicing Ring Fusion and diligently cultivating his Soul Power.

And so, a year slipped by.

After a year of cultivation, Ling Yun's Soul Power had risen by three levels, reaching level fifty. He only needed one more Soul Ring to become a Soul King!

And he was only eleven years old. An eleven-year-old Soul King—who could even imagine it?

After breaking through to level fifty, Ling Yun went to find Huo Li and the Huo siblings, hoping they would take him to obtain his fifth Soul Ring.

When the three heard that Ling Yun's Soul Power had reached level fifty, they weren't especially surprised. They were simply excited, thrilled, and delighted. After all, they had witnessed his astonishing talent long ago, and by now, it no longer came as a shock.

"Little Brother Ling Yun, congratulations on breaking through to level fifty!"

Huo Wu offered her congratulations with a grin. After taking two Red Fire Dragon Ganoderma and cultivating for another year, her cultivation had reached level forty-five, far surpassing where she had been at this point in the original story.

Her elder brother, Huo Wushuang, was now a level-forty-four Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor.

After a brief pause, Huo Wu asked, "By the way, Little Brother Ling Yun, have you decided what kind of Soul Beast you want to hunt for your fifth Soul Ring?"

"Mm, I've already decided." Ling Yun nodded. "I've absorbed Soul Rings with wood, fire, earth, and metal attributes, so this time I want a water-attribute Soul Ring.

"As for its age... it should be over twenty thousand years old, at the very least."

"..."

The three of them were taken aback.

Generally speaking, a Soul Master's fifth Soul Ring wouldn't exceed twelve thousand years. Even if Ling Yun could absorb Soul Rings beyond the usual limit, twenty thousand years was still far too old—especially when he wanted one that was "at least twenty thousand years old."

But they had seen him work miracles more than once. Since Ling Yun was so sure, they chose to believe in him and let him give it a bold try.

"A water-attribute Soul Ring..." Huo Li said, resting his chin on his hand. "Looks like we'll have to visit Ice Seal Forest. Aside from the coast, that's where the most water-attribute Soul Beasts can be found."

Ling Yun nodded lightly. That matched his own thinking; he wanted to try his luck in Ice Seal Forest too.

Huo Li continued, "But I've never been to Ice Seal Forest, so I don't know much about the place. We should first visit Skywater Academy and ask Little Sister Qingyue for help.

"With someone from Skywater Academy guiding us, I'm sure we'll find a suitable Soul Beast for young Ling Yun!"

"Hehe, looks like we'll get to see Little Sister Bing'er and the others again."

Huo Wu chuckled, unable to suppress her smile. "If they find out Ling Yun's Soul Power has reached level fifty, they'll be stunned!"

Huo Li chimed in, "There's no time to waste. Let's head to Skywater Academy now!"

"All right."

Everyone nodded. They packed their things at once and set off for Skywater Academy by carriage.

Skywater Academy was quite a distance from Blazing Academy, and it was already close to the Extreme North of Douluo Continent. Even by carriage, it took Ling Yun and the others a full half month to arrive.

The entrance to Ice Seal Forest was just a short distance from Skywater Academy!

Before setting out, Huo Li had sent Shui Qingyue a letter, saying he would come visit in a few days.

So, as soon as they arrived at Skywater Academy, Shui Qingyue came to welcome them. Shui Bing'er and her younger sister, Shui Yue'er, came along as well.

Seeing Huo Li, Shui Qingyue smiled. "Brother Huo Li, long time no see. You've never been one to do anything without a reason. You didn't come all this way to Skywater Academy just to visit me, did you?"

"Hehe, you guessed right!" Huo Li scratched his head, his expression perfectly unruffled. "I really do have a favor to ask of you this time."

"Little Sister Bing'er!"

Huo Wu immediately went over to Shui Bing'er. As the captain of Blazing Fire Team, she naturally wanted to compare herself with Shui Bing'er.

After sensing Shui Bing'er's cultivation, Huo Wu smiled. "Not bad, Little Sister Bing'er. Your Soul Power has already reached level forty-two?"

"I was lucky enough to break through a few days ago!"

Shui Bing'er smiled shyly as she sensed Huo Wu's cultivation in turn. The result left her stunned.

Huo Wu's cultivation had already far surpassed hers!

Shui Bing'er couldn't help asking in surprise, "You... Huo Wu, how did your Soul Power rise so quickly?"

Huo Wu kept her answer secret and smiled. "Well, you'll find out in a bit."

"All right, children, this isn't the place to talk, and it's so cold outside. Let's go to my office instead. It's warmer there."

Shui Qingyue ruffled Huo Wu's hair and led everyone to her office. Only then did she ask, "All right, Brother Huo Li, you can tell me now. What did you come to see me about?"

"To be honest, Ling Yun's Soul Power has reached level fifty, so I'd like to ask you to take him to Ice Seal Forest to obtain his fifth Soul Ring!"
