Luo Zixuan smiled faintly and began meditating to absorb the Soul Ring.
An hour later.
Luo Zixuan was drenched in sweat. Her alluring figure was faintly visible beneath it, and her face was pale as she looked to be in extreme pain.
"Xiao Xuan, is she going to be okay?!"
Li Jiutian cried out in alarm and started toward Luo Zixuan.
"Boy, are you trying to make Xuan'er go mad with qi deviation by interrupting her now?!"
"Trust her. All we can do now is wait."
Qian Daoliu stopped Li Jiutian with one hand and said calmly.
At that moment, deep in Luo Zixuan's subconscious.
A giant Golden Winged Bee was using its stinger to viciously pierce through her body.
"You ugly thing, c-come at me! I'll definitely absorb your Soul Ring!"
Luo Zixuan lay on the ground, covered in blood. She spoke weakly.
The Golden Winged Bee was thoroughly enraged by her words. It bared its enormous fangs and charged at Luo Zixuan at incredible speed.
It wanted to bite through Luo Zixuan's snow-white neck and end the fight in one blow!
As the Golden Winged Bee came straight at her, Luo Zixuan showed no fear. She simply stared fixedly at it.
Just as the Golden Winged Bee came within a meter of her, a flash of green light blasted it hundreds of meters away!
The Golden Winged Bee lay on the ground, gazing at the human before it with unwillingness. Then it crumbled into dust and scattered.
"Child, your kindness and unyielding spirit have moved me!"
A sudden, ethereal voice came from behind Luo Zixuan.
"W-who are you? Did you save me?"
Luo Zixuan turned around and asked in shock.
A woman dressed in green stood before her. Before Luo Zixuan could make out her face, she dissolved into green light and vanished.
"Child, we'll meet again someday!"
The woman's gentle, ethereal voice rang out again from all around them.
"Who are you, really?!"
Luo Zixuan suddenly opened her eyes and shouted, awakening from her subconscious.
"Xiao Xuan, what happened?!"
Li Jiutian hurried to Luo Zixuan's side and helped her sit up.
"I saw a woman dressed in green. She saved me."
Luo Zixuan held her head and answered.
"A woman in green? Did you get a good look at her?"
Qian Daoliu asked in confusion.
"No."
Luo Zixuan answered weakly.
"Xiao Xuan, are you all right? Your Third Soul Skill must be incredibly powerful."
Li Jiutian sounded excited.
"I'm fine. After absorbing the Soul Ring, my Soul Power also rose to Level 35."
"My Third Soul Skill is called Recovery Needle. Its effective range is two kilometers."
"Anyone it hits recovers 20% of their Soul Power, then gains the ability to fly for three minutes."
Luo Zixuan explained softly.
"As expected of my little sister. This Third Soul Skill is way too overpowered!"
Li Jiutian exclaimed, thinking:
This Recovery Needle is simply ridiculous. It's like a combination of Ning Rongrong's and Oscar's Third Soul Skills.
This support skill has long range and high utility. In a battlefield where things change in an instant, three minutes of flight could be the key to deciding the outcome of an entire match!
Qian Daoliu was also quite pleased.
"Right, System, do you have a function to detect the quality of Martial Souls?"
"Can you check my Jade Scepter?"
Li Jiutian suddenly remembered his cheat and silently asked.
[Jade Scepter, a top-tier support-and-control Martial Soul. Its quality far surpasses that of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda and the Blue Silver Emperor.]
"Holy crap!"
Li Jiutian stared at Luo Zixuan in disbelief.
"Brother, why are you staring at me?"
"I've finished obtaining my Soul Ring. You should go hunt a Soul Beast now."
Luo Zixuan blinked her big eyes and said.
"Disciple, let's go. Once we've hunted a Soul Beast for you, I still have some matters to handle at the Elder Hall."
After saying that, Qian Daoliu spread his Angel Wings and flew high into the sky, searching the area for Soul Beasts.

"Master, look! That Soul Beast over there looks just right for me!"
Li Jiutian pointed into the distance and shouted.
Three kilometers away, beneath a large tree, a griffin was dozing and snoring.
It was over ten meters long, with an eagle's head and a lion's body. A pair of eagle wings sprouted from its back, and its entire body was covered in gold, making it look incredibly divine.
"That's a Heavenly Might Griffin with twenty thousand years of cultivation. I spotted it a while ago."
"Although it has only twenty thousand years of cultivation, its true strength is probably on par with a sixty-thousand-year Soul Beast!"
"Xiao Tian, you can't withstand the resentment of a twenty-thousand-year Soul Beast, let alone one like the Heavenly Might Griffin that bears a divine attribute!"
Qian Daoliu waved his hand helplessly.
"Master, the word 'impossible' isn't in my dictionary!"
"I'll definitely absorb its Soul Ring successfully. Please help me!"
Li Jiutian asked earnestly.
"Brother, absorbing a twenty-thousand-year Soul Beast as your Third Soul Ring is far too risky!"
Worry filled Luo Zixuan's eyes. She had nearly lost her life absorbing the Golden Winged Bee, which had over four thousand years of cultivation. How terrifying would the resentment of a twenty-thousand-year Soul Beast be?!
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath, then said, "All right. You're so determined, so I'll give you a hand!"
"Thank you, Master!"
A faint smile tugged at Li Jiutian's lips as he thought:
With two top-grade Martial Souls, how could I fail to absorb a mere Heavenly Might Griffin? What a joke.
Good thing Qian Daoliu is here. With my current strength, I'd never be a match for this Heavenly Might Griffin.
"Angel Domain!"
"Seventh Soul Skill, Angel Avatar!"
Qian Daoliu shouted. A golden light spread visibly fast, instantly covering more than a thousand square meters around them.
Feeling the pressure of the Domain, the Heavenly Might Griffin woke from its slumber and glared angrily at Qian Daoliu.
It's the first time I've seen the old man take things so seriously that he released his Angel Avatar right off the bat!
Li Jiutian thought to himself.
Qian Daoliu's entire body was now wrapped in dazzling golden light. At last, he merged with the Six-Winged Angel towering dozens of meters behind him, and an immense pressure filled the air!
"Cough, cough!"
At that moment, Luo Zixuan suddenly clutched her chest, a trace of blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
"Xiao Xuan, are you okay?!"
Li Jiutian hurriedly supported her, his face full of worry.
"I'm fine. My chest just suddenly started hurting!"
Luo Zixuan said weakly, her face pale.
"Your Soul Power Level is too low. You can't withstand this pressure yet!"
After saying that, Li Jiutian spread his Angel Wings and carried her a kilometer away.
"Brother, I'm sorry. I couldn't help, and I only caused you trouble."
Luo Zixuan leaned against a tree trunk, looking a little guilty.
"It's all right. Stay here for now. I'll go help Master!"
"If you run into danger, launch the flare I gave you into the sky!"
After saying that, Li Jiutian headed back toward Qian Daoliu again.
The Heavenly Might Griffin looked at the angel towering dozens of meters in the sky and roared furiously, then charged at it!
"A mere twenty-thousand-year Soul Beast dares to act so brazenly in front of me? If you were your leader, the Heavenly King Griffin, you might be worthy of fighting me!"
Qian Daoliu raised the Holy Sword and gave it a light swing. The Six-Winged Angel behind him made the same motion.
"Bang!"
An immense pressure instantly filled the air. The Heavenly Might Griffin was a kilometer away and had only just started moving when the shockwave severed both its wings!
The shockwave tore through the Heavenly Might Griffin's wings, flew another five kilometers, and leveled three mountains before finally dissipating!
"As expected of Qian Daoliu. After releasing his Martial Soul, his strength has increased several times over! What incredible destructive power!"
"The Heavenly Might Griffin looks like an ant in front of him!"
Li Jiutian marveled inwardly.
The Heavenly Might Griffin roared in agony. Sensing something was wrong, it quickly fled into the distance!
But before it had gone very far, a powerful force dragged it back to where it had started!
The Heavenly Might Griffin also clearly felt that within the area enveloped by golden light, its Soul Power was draining faster and its speed had slowed.
"Where do you think you're going in my Domain?"
Qian Daoliu gave a cold snort, then casually waved his left hand. A blade of light, over a hundred meters tall, appeared in the air and hurtled toward it!
The seemingly casual strike contained no less than five hundred thousand jin of force!
With the hundred-meter blade of light bearing down on it, the Heavenly Might Griffin had nowhere to hide. It let out a roar, and a white shield formed around its body!
"Boom!"
The instant the blade of light struck the shield, it shattered. The Heavenly Might Griffin was sent flying like a kite with its strings cut, hurtling dozens of kilometers before embedding itself in a mountain!
"Master, I'll go finish it off!"
Li Jiutian spoke and was about to make his move, but Qian Daoliu stopped him.
"It won't die that easily."
Qian Daoliu said calmly.
