Gilded Sky Wings

With Bibi Dong's permission, Han Xing and Chrysanthemum Douluo set off quickly.

However, Han Xing clearly did not have the destiny of the protagonist Tang San.

After the two arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, nothing unexpected happened.

In just two days, Han Xing successfully obtained his third soul ring.

A two-thousand-year-old Sky-Glimmer Golden Feather Sparrow.

This age limit already exceeded the upper limit for most Soul Masters' third soul rings.

Chrysanthemum Douluo initially disagreed with Han Xing's choice, but after Han Xing's persuasion.

And pointing out that his second soul ring had already exceeded the age limit, Chrysanthemum Douluo agreed to this approach.

Of course, the main reason for his agreement was the issue of strength.

Absorbing a soul ring was irreversible, but as a Titled Douluo, he had the ability to interrupt this process.

Although it might cause Han Xing some injuries, there would be no danger to his life, nor would it affect his future potential.

A two-thousand-year-old soul ring was naturally not a big problem for Han Xing.

With dual top-tier spirit, and being a beast spirit at that, his physique was much stronger than Tang San's.

"Do you feel any discomfort? What soul skill did you obtain?"

Looking at Han Xing, who opened his eyes after absorbing the soul ring, Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately asked.

"My third soul skill is: Gilded Sky Wings!" Han Xing said with a smile.

"It unleashes a pair of solid and heavy Gilded Divine Fire Wings, allowing me to fly freely in the sky."

"Moreover, the edges of the wings are wrapped with sharp light fire blades, and the trajectory of flight will leave behind Gold-Burning Fire Marks for a few seconds."

"The Gold-Burning Fire Marks cause flame cutting damage upon contact and have extremely strong armor-piercing effects."

After speaking, without waiting for Chrysanthemum Douluo to reply, Han Xing immediately chose to possess his spirit.

As the third soul ring lit up, the Gilded Divine Fire Wings spread out, golden flame blades coiled around the wingtips, and he immediately ascended, stepping on the wind in mid-air.

Where Han Xing passed, a golden long rainbow was left behind.

Chrysanthemum Douluo reached out and touched it, and a look of astonishment immediately appeared in his eyes.

He had initially thought that these so-called Gold-Burning Fire Marks were merely additional effects of the third soul skill, and their power was not great.

But after actually feeling it, he found that the power was much stronger than he had imagined.

"Even a level thirty-two defense-type Soul Master would likely suffer considerable damage if they touched these fire marks."

"It's only the third soul skill, yet it possesses such might. Is this the power of top-tier spirits?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo mused inwardly, and his body suddenly flashed, blocking Han Xing's path.

"Senior? Why are you...?"

Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly block his path, Han Xing, who had not yet adapted to flying for the first time, couldn't stop in time and crashed into him.

However, Chrysanthemum Douluo appeared in an extremely tricky position, and Han Xing did not hit him when he crashed.

But the tip of the Gilded Sky Wings happened to graze Chrysanthemum Douluo's body.

Instantly, his clothes were torn open with a gap, and the Sun True Fire began to burn along the clothes.

In response, Chrysanthemum Douluo calmly patted twice, extinguishing the Sun True Fire directly.

"The power is not bad. The tip of the wings is not only sharp but also carries the burning characteristic of the Sun True Fire."

"Few Soul Masters at your level can block this move."

Chrysanthemum Douluo lifted Han Xing, helped him stabilize his body, and said slowly.

"But since you have the ability to fly, you must strengthen your training in this area in the future."

"Flying-type Soul Masters, if they can't even control their flight well, then it's not acceptable."

"It's not my fault you suddenly appeared in front of me," Han Xing said speechlessly.

"It's my first time using this soul ring. If I could skillfully control my flight right away, I wouldn't be a genius, but a monster."

Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo was speechless and turned his head to say indifferently.

"You brat, I was just testing your reaction ability."

"Don't you know that teaching people should start from a young age?"

Han Xing chuckled at Chrysanthemum Douluo's words and did not refute.

"Since you've obtained the soul ring, let's go back," Chrysanthemum Douluo said.

"Although absorbing a two-thousand-year-old soul ring was a bit risky, the result is gratifying. Your soul power has directly broken through to level thirty-three."

Han Xing had no objections to this.

"However, I won't be specifically escorting you back this time," Chrysanthemum Douluo said.

"Since you have a flying soul skill, let's fly back the whole way. It will be faster than taking a carriage."

"Furthermore, it can also train your adaptability to flight-type soul skills."

Han Xing nodded; he also wanted to master the ability to fly as quickly as possible.

It took the two of them a full week to leave the Star Dou Great Forest and return to Spirit City.

During this period, Chrysanthemum Douluo kept his word; he said he wouldn't carry Han Xing, and he truly didn't carry him at all.

Whenever Han Xing's Soul Power was exhausted, the two would stop right where they were to rest.

Every time Han Xing adapted to a certain flight speed, Chrysanthemum Douluo would immediately increase his own speed, leaving him far behind.

By the time Han Xing slowly caught up, he wasn't given any time to rest before they set off again.

Even when it was time to eat, he wasn't allowed to walk; he had to fly to the entrance of the restaurant before he was permitted to land and walk.

Under this kind of training, Han Xing's control over flight improved gratifyingly.

It didn't take long for Han Xing's flight speed to exceed his running speed on the ground.

It was just a pity that, for the time being, Han Xing could not combine the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique with his Gilded Sky Wings.

Perhaps he needed time to adapt to flying until he could move through the sky as easily as walking on flat ground.

Or perhaps he needed to master the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique to a higher realm.

Arriving at the gates of Spirit City, Han Xing had never felt that Spirit Hall was more nostalgic than it was at this moment.

"Finally back in Spirit City. We've been flying for a whole week."

"I can't wait to find someone to stretch my limbs."

"You brat, you can't even handle this little bit of hardship?" Chrysanthemum Douluo teased.

"Senior, you don't understand; I truly cannot handle the hardships of life," Han Xing said with a serious expression.

Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but chuckle.

"You little fellow, but never mind, it's not a big deal anyway."

"Since you're feeling nostalgic, go back to the Spirit Academy. As for the Pontiff, I will go and report to her."

"However, after you return from the academy, remember to go and pay your respects to the Pontiff."

"I understand," Han Xing nodded.

Having said that, he walked toward the Spirit Academy without looking back.

Chrysanthemum Douluo watched Han Xing's retreating figure helplessly. "Sigh, this kid, so impatient."

"But there was a new discovery this time. The matter of a stronger physique allowing for the absorption of higher-age Soul Rings needs to be reported to the Pontiff."

The knowledge held by Spirit Hall was derived from the discoveries of generations of soul masters.

It was only after countless soul masters absorbed Soul Rings that the theory was established stating the optimal age for a first Soul Ring was between four hundred and four hundred and thirty years.

Now, the theory—previously existing only in theory—that improving one's physique allows for the absorption of Soul Rings exceeding the age limit had been proven.

If subsequent experiments were passed, proving that this was not a special case unique to Han Xing's Three-Legged Golden Crow Martial Soul, then it would mean a tremendous boost for Spirit Hall.
