Huo Wu and Brother's Fourth Spirit Ability

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

During this period, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu successfully obtained their fourth soul rings and returned to Blazing Academy.

Upon returning to the academy, Huo Wushuang immediately sought out Ling Yun to show off his cultivation, laughing heartily as he spoke.

"Ling Yun, my soul power has broken through to level forty-one! Now I am just like you, a four-ring Soul Ancestor! Hahaha..."

"Brother, Ling Yun's cultivation is already at level forty-seven. He is a full six levels higher than you; I really don't know what you have to be so happy about."

Huo Wu shook her head helplessly, though she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. After absorbing her fourth soul ring, her own soul power had reached level forty-two!

"Tch, who would want to compare themselves to this little monster?" Huo Wushuang curled his lip. Having witnessed Ling Yun's talent, he knew well that he and Ling Yun were simply not people from the same world.

"Hehe, Sister Huo Wu, Brother Wushuang, congratulations on becoming *Soul Ancestor*s!" Ling Yun smiled, then asked, "I wonder what your fourth soul skills are?"

At the mention of their fourth soul skills, both their eyes lit up. Huo Wu spoke first with a smile: "My fourth soul skill is called Blazing Dance Shining Sun. It can condense a massive fireball to incinerate enemies and blast them into fragments. It is a terrifyingly powerful assault-type soul skill."

"Furthermore, my fourth soul skill has a tracking and locking function. It can be said that once an opponent is locked on, they have no choice but to take the hit head-on."

"Besides that, I can also absorb the soul power of other fire-attribute soul masters to increase the power of Blazing Dance Shining Sun. If combined with my Ring Fusion talent, the power can be further enhanced."

"Hmm... a powerful skill."

Ling Yun nodded slightly after hearing this; Huo Wu's fourth soul skill remained unchanged from the original timeline.

He then looked toward Huo Wushuang, who also laughed: "My fourth soul skill is named Flame Dragon Claw. Unlike Huo Wu's Blazing Dance Shining Sun, my Flame Dragon Claw is a melee skill."

"After activating the soul skill, my arms transform into sharp dragon claws, wreathed in flame energy to tear the enemy to shreds!"

"That is also a very powerful skill."

With Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, one long-range and one melee, their coordination would undoubtedly unleash formidable combat power.

After learning the effects of their soul skills, Ling Yun continued to practice Ring Fusion and worked hard to cultivate his soul power.

Just like that, a year passed quietly.

Through this year of cultivation, Ling Yun's soul power rose by three levels, successfully reaching level fifty. He was only one soul ring away from becoming a Soul King!

At his current age, he was only eleven years old. An eleven-year-old Soul King—who would dare to imagine such a thing?

After his soul power broke through to level fifty, Ling Yun found Huo Li, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang to ask them to take him to obtain his fifth soul ring.

Upon learning that Ling Yun's soul power had reached level fifty, the three of them showed no great surprise; there was only excitement, agitation, and joy. After all, they had long since witnessed Ling Yun's astonishing talent and were accustomed to it by now.

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

Huo Wu congratulated him with a grin. After consuming two Red Fire Dragon Ganoderma and undergoing a year of cultivation, her own cultivation had reached level forty-five, far surpassing her original self.

Her brother, Huo Wushuang, was now a level forty-four assault-type battle Soul Ancestor.

After a pause, Huo Wu asked, "By the way, Little Brother Ling Yun, do you have any ideas regarding the soul beast you want to hunt for your fifth soul ring?"

"Hmm, I've already thought about it." Ling Yun nodded. "I have already absorbed soul rings of wood, fire, earth, and gold attributes, so this time I want to absorb a water-attribute soul ring."

"As for the age... it has to be over twenty thousand years at the very least."

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them were somewhat astonished.

Generally speaking, a soul master's fifth soul ring would not exceed twelve thousand years. Even if Ling Yun could absorb soul rings beyond his level, a twenty-thousand-year ring seemed far too high, not to mention his requirement of "at least twenty thousand years."

However, the three of them had seen him create miracles more than once. Since Ling Yun had said so, they chose to believe in him and let him attempt it boldly.

"A water-attribute soul ring, huh..." Huo Li stroked his chin and said, "It seems we must make a trip to the Ice Seal Forest. Aside from the seaside, that is where the most water-attribute soul beasts are found."

Ling Yun nodded gently upon hearing this. This coincided with his own thoughts; he also wanted to try his luck in the Ice Seal Forest.

Huo Li then continued, "However, I have never been to the Ice Seal Forest and don't know much about the situation there, so we must first go to Skywater Academy and ask Sister Shui Qingyue for help."

"With people from Skywater Academy acting as guides, I believe we will certainly be able to find a suitable soul beast for the Ling Yun kid!"

"Hehe, it seems we will be able to see Sister Shui Bing'er and the others again."

Huo Wu chuckled, unable to suppress the corners of her mouth as she smiled: "If they find out that Ling Yun's soul power has reached level fifty, they will definitely be shocked!"

Huo Li then added, "There is no time like the present; let us head to Skywater Academy immediately!"

"Agreed."

Everyone nodded slightly, packed their things, and boarded a carriage for Skywater Academy.

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

Not far from Skywater Academy lay the entrance to the Ice Seal Forest!

Before departing, Huo Li had already sent a letter to Shui Qingyue, indicating that he would come to visit in a few days.

Therefore, upon arriving at Skywater Academy, Shui Qingyue came to greet them immediately, accompanied by the sisters Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

Seeing Huo Li, Shui Qingyue said with a smile, "Brother Huo Li, it has been a long time. You have always been one to never act without profit; surely you didn't come all the way to my Skywater Academy just to visit me today, did you?"

"Hehe, you guessed right!" Huo Li scratched his head, saying without blushing or skipping a beat, "I do indeed have something to ask of you this time."

"Sister Shui Bing'er!"

Huo Wu immediately hurried to Shui Bing'er's side. As the captain of the Blazing team, she naturally wanted to compare herself to Shui Bing'er.

Upon sensing Shui Bing'er's cultivation level, Huo Wu couldn't help but smile. "Not bad, little sister Bing'er, has your soul power already reached level forty-two?"

"I just got lucky and broke through a few days ago!"

Shui Bing'er smiled shyly, while simultaneously sensing Huo Wu's cultivation level, only for the result to leave her stunned.

Huo Wu's current cultivation had already far surpassed her own!

Thinking of this, Shui Bing'er asked in surprise, "You... Huo Wu, how could your soul power have increased so quickly?"

Huo Wu played coy and laughed, "As for that, you'll know in a while."

"Alright, children, this isn't the place to talk, and it's so cold outside. Let's head to my office; it's warmer there."

Ruffling Huo Wu's little head, Shui Qingyue led the group toward her office before finally asking, "Alright, Brother Huo Li, you can speak now, right? What is it you need from me?"

"To tell you the truth, Ling Yun's soul power has already reached level fifty, so I would like to ask you to take him to the Ice Seal Forest to obtain his fifth soul ring!"
