"Your master just sensed fluctuations from the Lingyuan Feather."
Ling Yuan examined the lingering traces of poison in the cultivation room.
"Dugu Bo came here?"
"He just left."
Long Tian briefly recounted what had happened earlier.
After hearing the entire account, Ling Yuan's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise.
"You not only saw that Dugu Bo was afflicted by severe poison, but also determined Dugu Yan's condition?"
Long Tian nodded lightly.
"It was obvious at a glance."
Ling Yuan stepped closer and carefully observed his Nine-Colored Double Pupils.
"Even Spirit Hall's healing-type Soul Douluo might not be able to discern Poison Douluo's physical condition."
"You merely met him once, yet you could describe every detail of his poisoning."
"Good disciple, just how many more abilities are you hiding?"
Long Tian smiled calmly.
"The Rainbow Dragon commands countless elements."
"Once poison enters the body, it disrupts the body's original elemental balance."
"The wood and poison elements within Dugu Bo have already completely spiraled out of control."
"In my eyes, those changes are exceedingly clear."
Ling Yuan was deeply shaken.
Commanding elements and seeing through the elemental changes inside a human body were entirely different concepts.
If Long Tian continued to grow, then in the future, no poison or hidden injury would be able to escape his eyes.
The value of the Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul had once again exceeded Ling Yuan's original assessment.
"Looks like your master still underestimated you."
Ling Yuan raised her jade-like hand and gently rubbed Long Tian's black hair.
"Fortunately, I took you as my disciple before anyone else could."
"Otherwise, such a precious treasure would have fallen into someone else's hands."
Long Tian did not dodge.
"Did Teacher come here this time only because the Lingyuan Feather fluctuated?"
"Of course not."
Ling Yuan withdrew her hand.
"The Soul Master Tournament is approaching, and your master had already planned to check on your cultivation progress."
"Now it seems that you are not far from level forty."
"Level thirty-seven."
Long Tian flexed his wrist.
"I plan to break through directly to level forty."
Ling Yuan's brows shifted slightly.
"You want to reach Soul Ancestor before the Soul Master Tournament?"
"That's right."
"After reaching level forty, I can absorb my fourth Soul Ring."
"Every additional element the Rainbow Dragon gains will greatly increase the tactics I can use."
Long Tian looked at his palm.
"Relying on normal cultivation alone would take too long."
Ling Yuan pondered for a moment and quickly made her decision.
"Your master can help you."
"The Rainbow Dragon can command the fire element, while your master's Ling Yuan Martial Soul possesses extremely pure fire-attribute Soul Power."
"We will cultivate together and form a cycle between our Soul Powers."
"Your cultivation speed can increase by at least several times."
Long Tian looked at the beauty in the red dress before him.
"Teacher's Soul Power is too powerful. My meridians may not be able to withstand it all at once."
"That is why it needs to be guided slowly."
Ling Yuan turned and walked toward the Cold Jade Bed.
"Come over."
She gently removed her fiery-red high heels and neatly placed them beside the bed.
A pair of fair jade feet landed on the cold jade surface, and her delicate skin quickly took on a faint blush.
The chill spread upward from her toes.
Ling Yuan frowned slightly, and her rounded toes curled instinctively.
"Your Cold Jade Bed is even colder than I imagined."
Long Tian sat opposite her.
"Teacher is a fire-attribute Titled Douluo. Are you still afraid of the cold?"
"Your master is naturally not afraid."
Ling Yuan lifted her long legs and sat cross-legged upon the Cold Jade Bed.
The red hem of her dress spread over her knees, making her jade feet appear all the fairer.
"I simply wasn't prepared."
Long Tian did not expose her.
The two sat facing each other, separated by less than half an arm's length.
Ling Yuan extended both hands.
"Place your palms against mine."
Long Tian raised his hands as instructed.
Their four palms met in midair.
A warm, delicate sensation swiftly passed through their skin.
Ling Yuan was the first to circulate her Soul Power.
Pure flames entered Long Tian's meridians through their palms.
The Rainbow Dragon's Heart began to beat.
Nine-Colored Divine Light slowly flowed along their arms, enveloping that scorching Soul Power.
The fire element entered Long Tian's body, was tempered by the Rainbow Dragon's Heart, then returned to Ling Yuan's meridians.
A complete cycle quickly formed.
Ling Yuan's beautiful eyes suddenly opened.
"This power..."
The Soul Power returning to her body was purer than before.
Even the cultivation bottleneck that had stagnated for so long showed signs of loosening at this moment.
After Ling Yuan became a Titled Douluo, every level of advancement had become exceptionally difficult.
Even years of ordinary cultivation might not yield noticeable progress.
Yet after merely completing one Soul Power cycle with Long Tian, the Soul Power in her body had increased by a trace.
"Your master originally intended to help you cultivate."
Ling Yuan looked at the handsome face so close before her.
"Why did your master benefit as well after cultivating together?"
Long Tian continued controlling the Nine-Colored Soul Power.
"The Elemental Cycle inherently improves both sides."
"Teacher's flames help strengthen my Soul Power."
"The Rainbow Dragon's Heart also tempers Teacher's fire element."
Ling Yuan blinked softly.
"If that is the case, who exactly is helping whom?"
"We are helping each other."
As the Soul Power cycle accelerated, the two were gradually drawn closer together.
Their palms pressed tightly together.
Their knees also lightly touched at the center of the Cold Jade Bed.
Long Tian's crisp, cool scent was right before her.
His flawless, handsome face became even more dazzling beneath the Nine-Colored Divine Light.
Ling Yuan watched him for a while, and her heartbeat could not help speeding up.
A rosy flush spread from her cheeks all the way to the tips of her ears.
"Teacher, focus."
Long Tian reminded her.
Ling Yuan immediately looked away.
"Your master is naturally focused."
"Just now, the Soul Power nearly entered the wrong meridian."
"That is because you are sitting too close."
Long Tian glanced at their touching knees.
"The Cold Jade Bed is only this large."
Ling Yuan lowered her head to look, and her fair cheeks reddened further.
"Close your eyes."
"Continue cultivating."
Long Tian obediently closed his eyes.
Nine-Colored Divine Light and crimson flames intertwined once more.
Ling Yuan looked again at the handsome face before her, but her racing heart did not calm in the slightest.
Cultivating together like this seemed much more troublesome than cultivating alone.
Upon the Cold Jade Bed.
Crimson flames and Nine-Colored Divine Light flowed around one another.
The two streams of Soul Power continuously cycled through each other's meridians. With every completed circuit, Long Tian's Soul Power became a little purer.
Ling Yuan also benefited from this cycle.
After the fire element had been tempered by the Rainbow Dragon's Heart and reentered her body, it became even purer.
Master and disciple cultivated together every day.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
Inside the cultivation room.
The Nine-Colored Divine Dragon coiled above the Cold Jade Bed, while the radiance of seven elements slowly descended.
Long Tian sat cross-legged.
Powerful Soul Power surged through his meridians before finally returning to his dantian.
Three Soul Rings rose in succession.
Yellow, yellow, black.
Lightning patterns continuously flickered across the surface of the pitch-black Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
As the Rainbow Dragon's Heart thudded heavily, Long Tian's aura rose once more.
Level thirty-eight.
Level thirty-nine.
His Soul Power stabilized, and the Nine-Colored Divine Dragon folded its wings.
Long Tian slowly opened his eyes.
Divine light flowed through his Nine-Colored Double Pupils, and the elemental radiance made his handsome face appear ever more noble.
Ling Yuan sat opposite him, carefully sensing the changes in her disciple's Soul Power.
"Two months, and you have risen two levels."
"Your cultivation speed is something your master has never seen before."
Long Tian withdrew his Martial Soul.
"Teacher's fire-attribute Soul Power is extremely pure and greatly benefits the Rainbow Dragon."
