Di Tian stared at the young man before him in astonishment. This kid had actually managed to overpower him. It was almost impossible to believe.

Lin Yi, meanwhile, put away his Dragon God Martial Soul and stopped pressing the attack.

"Di Tian, you are the ruler of the Soul Beasts. I won't kill you, but I hope you won't keep making trouble. It won't do anyone any good. I came here to train, and I've gained something from it, so thank you."

With that, Lin Yi returned to Bibi Dong and the others, a trace of relief in his eyes.

"I'm sorry for making you seniors worry just now. I don't know what came over me, but I was somehow able to freely wield the power of several other Soul Skills. I was startled by what happened, too."

"You used other Soul Skills without even knowing it?"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned.

"Lin Yi, after absorbing a god's Soul Ring, shouldn't you have mastered all the divine Soul Skills?"

"I don't know."

Lin Yi shook his head.

"I can only use the power of the Soul Skills by instinct. And unless I'm in a particular environment, I can't seem to use the others."

"How is that possible?"

Bibi Dong clearly didn't believe him.

"Are you trying to fool us, kid? How could anyone not know what their next Soul Skill is? Besides, judging by the age of your Soul Ring, it came from a million-year-old Dragon God. Your power should be even more stable. So how could this happen?"

"That's exactly why I came to find Grandmaster."

As he spoke, Lin Yi bowed to Yu Xiaogang. "Please accept me as your disciple, Grandmaster. I'm willing to regard you as my father."

"This..."

Yu Xiaogang looked a little embarrassed.

"Aren't you afraid people will say your master isn't strong enough?"

"If anyone dares say that, I'll beat them up!"

At Lin Yi's words, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong laughed at the same time.

"You certainly have plenty of guts. Since you think so highly of Xiao Gang, he'll surely take you as his disciple. But you'd better be prepared: Xiao Gang is very strict with his students. If you're afraid of hardship..."

"If I were afraid of hardship, I wouldn't have come."

Lin Yi smiled frankly. "I know Third Brother had to endure a lot during his training, and I understand how much effort he put in. I can only tell you this: I'll work even harder than they did."

"Hmph. Before you can surpass my dad, you'll have to surpass us first!"

Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao appeared before Bibi Dong and the others. The three of them had been living in seclusion, and had never met Tang San's children, so they were naturally taken aback.

Lin Yi quickly introduced them. "This is Tang San's daughter, Tang Wutong. The man beside her is Tang San's son-in-law, Huo Yuhao. One is the Butterfly God, and the other is the God of Emotion."

Bibi Dong had little interest in Huo Yuhao. Instead, she flew straight toward Tang Wutong.

Tang Wutong paused. "What are you trying to do?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Bibi Dong smiled calmly. "I only wanted to see how capable the daughter of that little rabbit, who wasn't particularly strong back then, had become. Now that I've seen you, you really have surpassed your mother."

"Thank you, Aunt Bibi Dong."

"You don't hate me?"

Bibi Dong looked surprised.

"After all, I was the one who killed your grandmother."

"I don't."

Tang Wutong sighed softly.

"Mom told me she used to hate you very much, but eventually she came to understand. The existence of Soul Beasts was bound to bring danger. Some things couldn't be decided by us—that was just reality. But she also told me that if you learn to be a happy person, you'll surely have even more!"

"Thank you."

Bibi Dong reached out and hugged Tang Wutong, tears streaming down her face. Liu Erlong had already hurried over as well.

"Wutong, I'm your mother's godmother, you know. Won't you call me Grandma?"

"Grandma!"

Tang Wutong reached out and took Liu Erlong's hand, grinning.

"I'm so lucky now. I have two grandmothers and even a grandfather!"

"Ahem."

Yu Xiaogang looked rather awkward, his face flushing.

"Hello, Wutong."

"Honestly!"

Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong both shot him a look. "Xiao Gang, you're always so serious. Don't scare little Wutong!"

"I just have something to discuss with Lin Yi. Anyway, why don't you entertain Huo Yuhao and Wutong? I'll talk things over with Lin Yi."

"All right, but don't take too long!"

Leaving them with that, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong led Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao away to hear about their generation, while Lin Yi followed Yu Xiaogang to the Theory Library.

"Grandmaster, where should I start training if I want to grow stronger faster?"

"Don't rush to raise your level."

Grandmaster looked at Lin Yi. "With your strength, you shouldn't be satisfied with having developed only one Soul Ring. Lin Yi, I know there's a million-year-old Soul Beast, the Giant Shark Beast, in the Sea of Killing Gods. If you're willing, I'll take you there in three days. What do you say?"

"Of course!"

A million-year-old Soul Beast—there was no way he could pass up an opportunity like that!

Lin Yi was practically itching with excitement. If he could go after one himself, why had he spent so many Gold Soul Coins? It seemed he'd been right to ask Grandmaster for help!
