"That's right."
Yu Tianchen nodded with a smile.
His third soul skill allowed him to condense lightning into highly penetrative flying feathers and launch them.
While capable of dealing damage, these launched feathers would maintain their form for an hour, and he would retain a faint connection to each one.
By relying on this connection, he could instantly teleport to the location of any of these feathers; the teleportation had no cooldown, though it consumed his soul power based on the distance traveled.
Theoretically speaking.
As long as Yu Tianchen had enough soul power to sustain the consumption.
He could perform infinite teleports.
Although it differed from the speed-boosting soul skill he had originally hoped for.
The mechanical utility provided by this soul skill was far superior to a simple boost-type skill.
"Let Grandfather test just how far this soul skill of yours can go!"
Seeing the effects of Yu Tianchen's soul skill, Yu Yuanzhen became interested.
Accompanied by a sonic boom, Yu Yuanzhen's figure rushed toward Yu Tianchen at blinding speed.
Yu Tianchen did not hesitate; he immediately teleported, his figure appearing at the feather furthest from Yu Yuanzhen.
Yu Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, Martial Soul Possession for his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon activated. He restrained his soul power, relying solely on the physical enhancements brought by his martial soul to pursue Yu Tianchen.
Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was not a beast soul primarily focused on speed.
The speed Yu Yuanzhen gained after activating his martial soul was not to be underestimated.
Yet even so, Yu Tianchen could rely on the mechanics of his teleportation to ensure Yu Yuanzhen could never lay a finger on him.
Unless Yu Yuanzhen unleashed the soul power pressure of a Super Douluo, or released a large-scale destructive soul skill to clear the feathers from the ground and simultaneously pin Yu Tianchen in place.
Otherwise, Yu Yuanzhen simply could not touch his opponent.
"Hahaha, good! Very good!"
After testing the effects of Yu Tianchen's soul skill for a while.
Yu Yuanzhen laughed heartily.
"With this, Grandfather truly has no worries about you going to the Star Dou Great Forest for training."
With such a life-saving soul skill at his disposal.
Unless Yu Tianchen encountered a soul beast over a hundred thousand years old in the Star Dou Great Forest, there was basically no need to worry about his safety.
Coupled with the arrangement previously made with Dugu Bo, who would secretly protect him during this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Yu Yuanzhen could finally set his heart at ease regarding Yu Tianchen's expedition.
Yu Tianchen chuckled, retracted his martial soul, and said with a smile:
"Then Grandfather, let's head back now."
"It's been so many days; Senior Dugu Bo should be back by now as well."
"Good."
Yu Yuanzhen nodded, and the grandfather and grandson headed toward the valley where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was located.
When the two returned to the valley of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
They happened to see Dugu Bo standing not far away.
Judging by his travel-worn appearance, it was clear he had not been back for long.
"Heh, Old Dragon Yu, kid Tianchen, I thought I'd be waiting for you two for a long time."
Seeing them return, Dugu Bo spoke with a smile.
But when he saw Yu Tianchen, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Immediately after, an expression of utter astonishment appeared on his face.
"Level thirty-six?!"
"Kid Tianchen, in just a few days, you went from level thirty to level thirty-six???"
Dugu Bo was truly bewildered.
He had only been gone for a few days, not a few years!
What on earth had Yu Tianchen done to jump from level thirty to level thirty-six?
Even absorbing a soul ring shouldn't have raised his level that much.
This kid didn't go and consume more of the rare herbs here while he was gone, did he?!
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's expression suddenly turned serious:
"You didn't go and recklessly consume any more of the immortal herbs here, did you?"
"Didn't I tell you before I left that your body is currently showing signs of energy stagnation because of those two herbs you consumed?"
"If you consume any more of the rare herbs here, it will only be counterproductive! You..."
"What are you thinking about, Old Poison Freak?"
Before Dugu Bo could finish, Yu Yuanzhen rolled his eyes.
"If Tianchen doesn't know his limits, surely I do? Do you think I would let him recklessly consume the herbs here?"
Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, the previously impatient Dugu Bo calmed down significantly.
However, he remained puzzled.
"Then what is the reason? Don't tell me the kid Tianchen leveled up this much just from absorbing a spirit ring!"
"How could a thousand-year spirit ring possibly grant so many levels!"
"Thousand-year? Come, Tianchen, show this ignorant Old Poison Freak a thing or two."
Yu Yuanzhen's lips curled up as if a dragon king had returned.
"Let him witness what the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—no, what the top genius of this continent is truly like!"
Watching his grandfather's eager desire to show off, Yu Tianchen felt helpless.
But it was understandable.
When Yu Tianchen first obtained a thousand-year spirit ring for his first ring, Yu Yuanzhen had wanted to brag then.
But to protect Yu Tianchen, Yu Yuanzhen had to hold back, ensuring his grandson could grow up safely.
Now that Dugu Bo had, to some extent, become Yu Tianchen's guardian, it was only a matter of time before he learned of Yu Tianchen's true strength.
Thus, this was finally an opportunity for Yu Yuanzhen to show off and flex his status.
Ultimately, to satisfy Yu Yuanzhen's desire to show off, Yu Tianchen released his martial soul and spirit rings for Dugu Bo to see.
When Dugu Bo saw the purple, purple, and black spirit ring configuration, his eyes widened in shock.
"A thousand-year first ring... a ten-thousand-year third ring???"
Dugu Bo swallowed hard.
He looked at Yu Tianchen in disbelief.
"No... how is this possible???"
"How did you do it?!"
"Just a little bit of fortune combined with a whole lot of effort, and a tiny bit of luck."
Yu Tianchen retracted his spirit rings and martial soul, smiling as he spoke.
"Alright, Senior Dugu Bo, since you've returned, I assume you've prepared everything you needed to?"
"Let's get started quickly; the sooner we finish, the sooner we can leave."
Dugu Bo took a long moment to recover from his shock.
Hearing Yu Tianchen's words, he nodded, but suddenly, he thought of something and quickly added:
"My matter isn't urgent. If possible, I would like you to help Dugu Yan detoxify first."
"Miss Dugu Yan?"
Yu Tianchen was stunned.
"You brought her here too?"
"Yes, but this place isn't suitable for her, so I left her in a cave in the nearby mountain hollow."
Dugu Bo said, stepping forward to drape an arm over Yu Tianchen's shoulder.
"Kid Tianchen, come to think of it, my granddaughter is only three years older than you. You two should spend some time together; perhaps you might..."
