Thunder continued to roar, and the red space persisted.
Bibi Dong watched Ling Yu, who had been completely enveloped by lightning in the sky, forming a sphere of lightning. Even his Spiritual Power could not detect the slightest movement within.
"Little one, you have to be all right! I still want to hear you lecture me!"
Bibi Dong could not help murmuring, as though she were praying.
At that moment, everyone fixed their eyes on the young man. In truth, several Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall's Worship Hall had learned quite a bit about him.
That included the pressure that had blanketed the entire continent some time ago!
Qian Daoliu had his own suspicions about that matter, but what he witnessed today made him fully believe that it had all been caused by this young man named Ling Yu.
Judging by the timing, the duration of that pressure and the time when Ling Yu had absorbed his soul ring were almost perfectly aligned. Moreover, he had absorbed the power of faith on Spirit Soul Mountain to accelerate his cultivation without receiving any rebuke from the Angel God. That was tantamount to tacit approval!
Others might not understand what the power of faith meant to a god, but as the Angel God's high priest, how could he not know? It was the foundation of the god's strength. A god allowing a young man to absorb the power of faith to hasten his cultivation—aside from his own granddaughter, this was the first time he had ever seen such a thing.
This young man...
An hour later, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed. When the first ray of sunlight shone upon Ling Yu, the red space instantly contracted and rushed into his eyes.
The lightning winding around his entire body also began to withdraw into him. Once the final trace of lightning vanished, his body slowly descended to the ground.
Ling Yu clenched his fist. Although his strength had not increased by much, he could feel that he could now gather all the power in his body into a single point and unleash it.
That meant that while he had originally only been able to exert a little over four thousand kilograms of force, if he concentrated all his strength into one point in the future, he could strike with twice that amount!
Of course, he could only do that a few times. Any more, and his body would be unable to endure such compression.
Furthermore, he could clearly feel that his body was incomparably light, while his Spiritual Power had advanced by a great deal. His Spiritual Power had originally been severely damaged because it had failed to meet the required standard and his Martial Soul had forcibly evolved. At this moment, his Martial Soul had completely stabilized, and he had even awakened a related domain!
He reached up to touch the corners of his eyes, neither joyous nor sorrowful.
Naturally, this strand of Grandmist Violet Qi did far more than that. He could feel that his mind was incredibly clear and his comprehension had greatly improved. His body had undergone enormous changes. If he had to describe it, his body was somewhat like the Immaculate Body from cultivation novels—spotless and flawless, perfectly harmonious and at ease!
He had already integrated breathing and meditation with his natural breathing, allowing his cultivation to continue at every moment. Yet now, every pore of his body was slowly absorbing the energy of heaven and earth around him, automatically purifying and compressing it!
"It seems that even if I'm not on Spirit Soul Mountain in the future, my cultivation speed won't slow down by much!"
Ling Yu murmured softly, "And my path?"
His grandfather's warning, as well as that line of words that had appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
He had some direction and goals now, but he would have to seek out and verify the specifics one by one!
And then there were his soul bones. He had a feeling that although he could still absorb soul bones in the future, they would no longer simply replace his own bones. A body cleansed by Grandmist Violet Qi would not allow impurities to enter it.
Therefore, soul bones would likely only enhance his physical constitution and energy level. As for soul skills, he sensed the two wing patterns on his back with his Spiritual Power. The aura of the Three-Eyed Golden Phoenix had completely disappeared, but the soul skill still remained. This time, he had undergone a complete transformation from head to toe!
Ling Yu raised his head, only to freeze at the sight before him. More than a dozen people across from him were staring at him the entire time with strange expressions—his goofy master, his flirtatious fox-like senior sister, and the adorably dazed Gu Yuena!
All three stared intently at his face without blinking. With his greatly enhanced Spiritual Power, Ling Yu's eyes had become even more perceptive. He could clearly see the dazzling light in his senior sister Hu Liena's eyes, Gu Yuena's wide and vacant gaze beside her, and the peculiar gleam in Bibi Dong's eyes!
"Could it be..."
Ling Yu suddenly thought of a possibility. He took a mirror from his ring, and his current face was reflected in its surface.
Every strand of his black hair seemed to glimmer. His already sparkling eyes had become even brighter, his eyelashes were longer than a woman's, and his skin was fair. Though still youthful, his handsome features looked as though they had been carved by blade and chisel.
How was anyone else supposed to live like this?
He had already been so handsome, but after this transformation, his youthful and beautiful face seemed to have gathered every advantage in the world, without the slightest flaw!
Some of the imperfections on his face had been corrected, but even so, Hu Liena and the others still looked at him with a sense of novelty. After all, he was still young, so he did not yet look exceptionally handsome. He merely seemed very cute and delicate, but those minor changes had made his appearance very different from before.
"No wonder every one of you was staring at me!"
After admiring his perfect looks once more, Ling Yu put away the mirror and walked toward them.
Several Titled Douluo had their gazes focused on the flawless young man. In particular, the strange gaze of an old man wearing robes embroidered with three pairs of wings nearly made Ling Yu think the man wanted to harm him.
"Xiao Yu, what just happened?"
Bibi Dong looked at the unharmed youth before her. As she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she asked, "Can you tell me?"
Everyone present had devoted their lives to Spirit Hall with unwavering loyalty. Although Bibi Dong had grievances against the Qian Clan, she would not completely fall out with them. If she did not give them an explanation for today's matter, Spirit Hall might suffer some adverse consequences.
Seeing the signal in the beautiful woman's eyes, Ling Yu smiled lightly. "My Martial Soul evolved!"
"Martial Soul Evolution?"
Hearing that explanation, everyone found it hard to believe. What kind of Martial Soul Evolution could cause such an enormous disturbance? Could it be even stronger than a God-level Martial Soul?
At that thought, several of the great figures could not help glancing at the gold-robed old man ahead of them.
"So that's what happened. Then it's fine! Let's go back!"
The moment Bibi Dong heard his explanation, she believed him without hesitation. Taking Ling Yu's little hand, she prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Just as Bibi Dong was about to depart, an aged voice suddenly rang out.
Bibi Dong looked at the old man who had spoken. "What? Do you have something else to say?"
The old man gave Bibi Dong a calm glance, then turned to Ling Yu at the side and said softly, "When you have time, come to the Worship Hall with your teacher!"
Bibi Dong gave the old man, who was already over a hundred years old, a deep look. She took Ling Yu's hand, signaled Ghost Douluo and Yue Guan, and flew toward Spirit Soul Mountain.
Ling Yu cautiously glanced at his beautiful master beside him and found that her face showed not the slightest irritation. Instead, she was as calm as still water, which left him deeply puzzled.
Wasn't it said that his teacher and Qian Xunji had an indescribable relationship? Why did she not seem as irritated and disgusted as he had expected upon seeing Qian Daoliu? Instead, there was a feeling he could neither describe nor understand.
He looked at her hand gripping his wrist. He did not know whether it was an illusion, but it felt somewhat different from before.
There was a kind of... an unusual tenderness and anticipation.
"Teach—"
"Don't call me Teacher!"
Ling Yu had barely begun to speak when she cut him off. He looked at her in surprise. Had something happened?
Bibi Dong did not explain much. She merely turned to look at him with even gentler eyes. He could actually see the comfort and joy of a long-awaited reunion in her gaze, along with a deeply hidden, indescribable emotion.
Feeling her grip gradually tighten around his wrist, Ling Yu was utterly baffled. His goofy master was acting a little strange today!
