Qianxun's Breakthrough

[Heaven Dou Royal Academy], within the Light Attribute Mimicry Cultivation Ground. 🌷🍫 😝💗

Xue Qianxun sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, silently adjusting her own state. Ling Yi, Chen Xin, Xue Ye, Dixiya, Marcus and others stood seven or eight meters away, quietly waiting for something.

Marcus, Martial Soul "Radiant Bird of Paradise," is a level 69 Power Attack System Battle Soul Emperor. He is Dixiya's grandfather and also the strongest member of the "Radiant Bird of Paradise Clan."

Outside the Mimicry Cultivation Ground the light attribute, there is a squad of palace guards protecting the area, strictly prohibiting any outsiders from entering.

After nearly a month of training and practice, Xue Qianxun finally gained complete control over her level 10 Soul Power and mastered the third form of "Beast Martial Soul - Xingyi Fist Style" taught to her by Ling Yi: "Light as a Swallow as a Swallow" and the advanced version of the third form: "Soaring Swan Goose Soars into the Vast Heavens".

With the help of the secret medicinal bath prepared by Ling Yi, Xue Qianxun's physical fitness directly reached the level of a level 20 One-Ring Soul Master!

"Master Ling, shouldn't we be more cautious?"

After glancing at Xue Qianxun, who was meditating with her eyes closed, Xue Ye finally couldn't hold back and whispered to Ling Yi:

"Although the tests show that Qianxun's physical condition meets the standards, but... did she really absorb eight hundred years' worth of First Soul Ring?"

As she spoke, Xue Ye glanced at the blue and white plant that was over a foot tall in front of Xue Qianxun.

"Light Blue Silver Grass", Age: 800 years!

In Xue Ye's knowledge, no one had ever been able to absorb such a high-age Soul Ring as their First Soul Ring. Even though he had the clan tested Xue Qianxun's current physical condition, and even though Ling Yi had repeatedly assured him that the Soul Power of this "Light Blue Silver Grass" was gentle and would not be as violent as the Soul Power Soul Ring of wild Soul Beast, impacting the Soul Power Soul Master's internal channels and organs, he was still somewhat worried that such a high-age Soul Ring might place too much burden on Xue Qianxun's body, leading to absorption failure, or even serious injury and damage to her Martial Soul.

Most importantly, if she fails, will it damage Xue Qianxun's potential and cause her to miss the opportunity to become Titled Douluo in the future?

Upon hearing Xue Ye's words, both Dixiya and Marcus turned their gazes toward Ling Yi.

Dixiya's eyes were half worried and half trusting, but seeing the calm and composed look on Ling Yi's face, she ultimately felt only trust and determination.

Marcus wanted to say something, but after noticing Chen Xin beside Ling Yi and glancing at the half-serious, half-feigned worry on Xue Ye's face, he moved his lips but said nothing.

Ling Yi turned his head to look at Xue Ye, his gaze sharp and intense, almost blinding to Xue Ye. As Xue Ye instinctively looked away, and then, somewhat resentfully, prepared to look back, he heard Ling Yi's calm voice:

"Your Majesty is overthinking it. If it weren't for the need for caution, Ling Yi would actually prefer Xue'er to absorb a 'Light Blue Silver Grass ' that's barely a thousand years old as her First Soul Ring."

"The first ring of the millennium?"

Xue Ye was startled by Ling Yi's bold words, her eyes widening involuntarily. Even Dixiya and Marcus next to her couldn't help but glance at her again.

Only the Chen Xin remains calm and serene.

If it were ten years ago, and someone said something like "the first ring in a thousand years" in front of Chen Xin, he would have just thought that the other person was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, or was just bragging and talking nonsense.

Even when he first joined Lingyun City, after viewing the numerous Martial Soul -related texts in the Lingyun City's library, he might have thought, "Twin Martial Souls, right? The First Soul Ring of the Second Martial Soul is only a thousand years old, isn't that a waste?"

But now, after seeing Erlang's incredible "five black and one red" Soul Ring combination, he felt that the "merely the first spirit ring in a thousand years" was nothing special.

"Your Majesty need not be surprised. If Xue'er's advancement is delayed by a year, or even just six months, Ling Yi is confident that Xue'er can successfully absorb the millennium-level 'Light Blue Silver Grass ' as her First Soul Ring!"

Ling Yi's voice continued, still calm and composed.

Xue Ye: "..."

Marcus: "..."

Unlike Xue Ye and Marcus, who remained silent, Dixiya's eyes lit up, and she seemed somewhat tempted. However, upon seeing Ling Yi's calm and handsome face, the slight agitation that had just arisen in her heart instantly subsided.

"Given how much he dotes on Xue'er, if he didn't choose to do it, he must have his reasons!" Dixiya thought to herself.

While the people around him were still lost in their own thoughts, Ling Yi's gaze fell on Xue Qianxun: "But in my opinion, that would be a case of losing more than you gain."

"While the first ring of a thousand years is certainly desirable, the golden cultivation time of six months to a year is even more precious for Xue'er, who possesses Innate Full Soul Power!"

"To be honest, even this period of more than half a month feels like a bit too long, but for a six-year-old, gradual physical training is the most important thing!"

"Twenty-odd days in exchange for the physical attributes of a level 20, one-ring Beast Martial Soul Master, plus the First Soul Ring in eight hundred years—among all the options I've calculated, this is the most cost-effective... Here it comes!"

Just then, Xue Qianxun, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, opened them. Now in peak condition, she moved her mind and a phantom of a Swan with milky white feathers tinged with a faint gold appeared behind her.

Her crystal-clear eyes lowered as she looked at the plant two feet away.

Its appearance is still similar to that of the ordinary "Blue Silver Grass", but the overall size is much larger and the main color is still light blue. However, there is a jade white vein on each grass leaf, which extends from the root to the tip of the grass leaf.

Eight hundred years of "Light Blue Silver Grass"!

If the age exceeds a thousand years, the jade-white pattern representing the attribute of light will expand again, until it completely replaces the light blue color that originally belonged to "Blue Silver Grass" as the age increases.

The Soul Power was channeled into the Swan phantom behind her. The Swan's long neck moved, as if it were alive, brushing past Xue Qianxun's cheek. Its golden beak, like a delicate dagger, gracefully and exquisitely pecked at the "Light Blue Silver Grass".

With a swift movement, Xue Qianxun's "Swan" Martial Soul held the "Light Blue Silver Grass" in its mouth, and it entered the little girl's body.

"This...?" *2

Seeing this, Xue Ye and Marcus once again looked bewildered.

They had seen many Soul Ring absorbed, but they had never seen anything like this before: instead of killing the Soul Beast and waiting for its Soul Beast to condense into Soul Ring, they would directly swallow the entire Soul Beast into their bodies.

No one cared about their feelings that Xue Ye. All that was seen was that after the Swan "Xue Qianxun Martial Soul and the eight-hundred-year-old "Light Blue Silver Grass " entered her body, Xue Qianxun immediately clasped her hands together, her index fingers touching, and with a soft, delicate whisper, "Lin—!"

The Nine-Character Mantra – Lin Character Seal!

With the blessing of the "Lin Character Seal, Xue Qianxun's previously flustered and nervous mind instantly calmed down. Facing the sudden surge of immense Soul Power within her body, she was able to guide her mental energy with great ease.

At the same time, the effect of the "Lin Character Seal was not only on the mind, but also on Xue Qianxun's Qi and Blood and meridians, which stabilized a lot, giving the little girl more room for trial and error and more room to maneuver when facing the seemingly endless and huge Soul Power.

Time passed second by second, and Xue Qianxun's aura sometimes surged and sometimes subsided, affecting the minds of Dixiya and Marcus who were waiting nearby.

As for Xue Ye, although he looked worried before Xue Qianxun started absorbing the Soul Ring, his expression became calm after it officially started.

He also figured it out: with Ling Yi's current reputation and status, and the special treatment he gave Xue Qianxun, there was no way he would let Xue Qianxun suffer any harm.

Therefore, among the onlookers present, Xue Ye was actually the one with the most confidence in Xue Qianxun's successful absorption of the First Soul Ring in eight hundred years, apart from Ling Yi and Chen Xin.

Although Dixiya believed in Ling Yi, her concern for her daughter ultimately prevailed, and she could not suppress her anxiety and unease.

As the sun blazed overhead, reaching its zenith, Xue Qianxun's aura surged dramatically, peaking before settling for over ten breaths before gradually subsiding. Correspondingly, a hint of relief appeared on her usually solemn face.

In Ling Yi's and the others' eyes, a golden ring floated out from the little girl's petite body, quietly revolving around her. The holy and radiant aura emanating from the ring was exceptionally prominent even in this Mimicry Cultivation Ground the light attribute.

After a while, her long eyelashes trembled, and Xue Qianxun opened her eyes, a faint, shimmering white light flashing from the depths of her eyes.

That was a phenomenon caused by a sudden surge in Soul Power that could not be controlled freely.

The little girl didn't think too much. She simply pushed herself up from the ground beside her. She had pure white wings on her back and a golden Yellow Soul Ring around her. She stood there gracefully, looking just like a miniature Angel.

Seeing this, Xue Ye was somewhat dazed, almost mistaking Xue Qianxun in front of him for the offspring of Qian Xunji, the Pope Spirit Hall.

It's so similar, so incredibly similar!

If he hadn't witnessed the "Swan" Martial Soul phantom behind Xue Qianxun just now, he really wouldn't have been able to tell whether his daughter's Martial Soul was a "Swan" or an "Angel" just by looking at Xue Qianxun with the Martial Soul in her body.

Shaking her head slightly, Xue Ye shook off the absurd thoughts in her mind, and a joy and kindness she had never shown before appeared on her face. Her eyes were shining as she looked at Xue Qianxun.

"Excellent! Excellent! The First Soul Ring in eight hundred years—I doubt anyone in the entire Douluo Continent could achieve that, yet my daughter, Xue Ye, has done it!"

"Good! Good indeed—! Qianxun, you truly are the Phoenix Maiden of the Xue Family—!"

Faced with Xue Ye's excited reaction, Xue Qianxun, who had been running towards them, paused slightly, and the joy on her face faded a little.

Although Xue Ye had been trying his best to repair the father-daughter relationship with her for nearly a month, Xue Qianxun still felt an indelible sense of resistance towards this unfamiliar father.

The precocious girl could hardly forget how indifferent Xue Ye's expression was during their few meetings over the past six years, and how detached his gaze was, as if he were looking at the flowers, grass, and stones at her feet.

It could be said that no matter how enthusiastic Xue Ye was at this moment, Xue Qianxun felt shrouded in shadow whenever she thought of the faces Xue Ye had once had.

Of course, during the period after her Martial Soul Awakening, both her mother, Dixiya, and her uncle, Ling Yi, told her that her father would vigorously cultivate her and make her a pillar of the future of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Having witnessed the darkness and coldness of the world within the palace, Xue Qianxun, who was only six years old, was not as innocent and naive as she appeared on the surface.

Or rather, her naivety and innocence only became apparent when she was with her mother Dixiya, and Uncle Ling Yi.

Therefore, Xue Qianxun's momentary hesitation in the face of Xue Ye's praise was only a momentary one before she returned to normal. She took a few steps to stand in front of Xue Ye and Ling Yi, first glancing at Uncle Ling Yi with a smile on his face, and then at her mother, Dixiya, whose eyes were filled with tears but whose face showed indescribable happiness and joy. She then bowed to Xue Ye and said, "Father."

Seeing this, Xue Ye's smile widened even more. He quickly bent down to straighten Xue Qianxun's body and said with a smile, "No need for formalities. Come, Qianxun, let's see how much Soul Power you have now..."

As he spoke, Xue Ye waved impatiently behind him.

Upon seeing Xue Ye's gesture, Xiao Tie quickly stepped out from among the palace guards, approached, and presented a white crystal ball with both hands.

Xue Ye took the "Soul Testing Crystal" and personally handed it to Xue Qianxun, looking at her expectantly.

Xue Qianxun was not intimidated. She stretched out her fair and delicate hand and placed it on the crystal ball, just like she had done more than half a month ago.

The next second, milky white light burst forth from the crystal ball, quickly occupying nearly half of the space.

You should know that this white "Soul Testing Crystal" has a maximum Soul Power capacity of level 30, and half of that is level 15!

Gazing at the shimmering milky-white light within the "Soul Testing Crystal," even though Xue Ye had mentally prepared herself, she was still somewhat dazed. "Level fourteen, it's actually level fourteen—!"

Xue Ye shifted his gaze from the "Soul Testing Crystal" to Xue Qianxun, looking at her delicate, porcelain-doll-like face, and for a Xue Ye he forgot what to say.

Just then, Ling Yi, who had been watching from the sidelines, stepped forward, pointed a finger at the side of the "Soul Testing Crystal," and a faint green Soul Power light flashed, knocking Xue Qianxun's small hand away from the "Soul Testing Crystal," while his warm, large hand took hers.

When Ling Yi held her little hand, Xue Qianxun's pretty face immediately lit up with a genuine smile of joy.

Ling Yi held the little girl's hand, using his Soul Power and spiritual power to sense the condition inside her body. After a while, he finally let go of her hand amidst her reluctance.

"How is it?" Dixiya finally stepped forward, reached out and pulled Xue Qianxun into her arms, and asked Ling Yi with a concerned expression.

"It's even better than I expected~" Ling Yi first winked his left eye at the little girl, then chuckled at Dixiya and said, "The little girl 'ate' an entire 800-year-old 'Light Blue Silver Grass,' and the powerful Soul Power directly boosted her Soul Power to level fourteen. Even so, a considerable amount of Soul Power is still hidden within her body that hasn't been absorbed yet. In the coming period, her cultivation speed will be greatly enhanced until that portion of Soul Power is completely digested..."

"Xue'er," Ling Yi turned his gaze to Xue Qianxun and said seriously, "In your next training, you can continue to focus some of your energy on strengthening your physique. Practice the other boxing stances I taught you, and try to master them to a level similar to ' Swan Goose Soars into the Vast Heavens ' is now. This will be very beneficial for your physical development."
