"Tang San, Tang San... what am I supposed to do with you?"

As night deepened, Su Sanjia left Zhao Wuji's residence but did not return to the dormitory. Instead, he climbed into a large tree within the academy grounds and idly played with a sleeve arrow in one hand.

In his plans, the Blue Silver Emperor's Hundred Thousand Year leg bone was something he could not afford to miss. To Su Sanjia, it was the easiest Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to obtain, and it was also highly practical. Yet now, Tang San regarded him as a companion and had even gifted him concealed weapons. Their relationship had not turned hostile because of Yu Xiaogang, as Su Sanjia had expected.

He began to hesitate.

Did he really have to take that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?

A set of concealed weapons was not worth much, and it was nearly useless to Su Sanjia as well. But he was not the kind of person who repaid kindness with ingratitude, even if it was only a small favor.

"Forget it. That Soul Bone is not going anywhere. Tang San, we'll see what choice you make in the future!"

Since thinking about it gave him a headache, he simply stopped thinking about it. That had always been Su Sanjia's secret to casting aside his troubles. He returned to the dormitory and eagerly began cultivating.

The next day, he went to see Flender again and told him that his Soul Power was about to break through Rank 50. Flender was both delighted and pained. Sure enough, just as Zhao Wuji had said, Flender agonized over the expense for a long time before finally selecting an exceedingly valuable medicinal herb. It could strengthen one's foundation and nourish one's vitality. It was extremely rare and perfectly suited to Su Sanjia's current needs.

Two months of cultivation were dull and tedious. Su Sanjia even gave up his time sunbathing, while his Soul Power steadily rose.

During that time, he met Qin Ming, the senior who had graduated from Shrek. This genius was also foolish—a six-ring Soul Emperor whose fifth Soul Ring had been a thousand-year one. That had nearly cut off his path to becoming a Title Douluo.

When Qin Ming learned that Su Sanjia had already become a Soul Ancestor at such a young age, his face was filled with amazement. He also guaranteed that, with Su Sanjia's talent, the three education committee members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy would certainly place even greater value on Shrek. Thus, the matter was settled. Shrek Academy abandoned their village and decided to relocate to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, though they needed two months to pack their belongings.

Over those two months, everyone at Shrek was spurred on by Su Sanjia. Those who should have been taking it easy suddenly became intensely competitive, cultivating more frantically than the next person. Yet they sadly discovered that no matter how hard they trained, an immense gap still separated them from Su Sanjia.

"Only Rank 49? Still, that will be enough!"

Over two months, through relentless training and Flender's support, Su Sanjia's Soul Power broke through to Rank 49 one month before his fifteenth birthday.

Su Sanjia rose and pushed open his door. Shrek Academy was now completely deserted, with only him remaining. Using a recent insight gained through cultivation as an excuse, he delayed his departure for several days. Flender and the others were not worried, so they set off for Heaven Dou City first. Su Sanjia's true destination, however, was Sunset Forest.

Shrek Academy was not too far from Sunset Forest. With Su Sanjia's speed, he arrived in just a few days. Sunset Forest was not as dangerous as Star Dou Great Forest, but many ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts still lived within it. The most dangerous presence here, however, was that Poison Douluo!

A swath of jade-green poisonous mist already blanketed the area before him.

"Looks like this is the place! The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, one of the greatest opportunities on Douluo Continent!"

Su Sanjia's eyes gleamed as he unleashed his Observation Haki. With the enhancement of his head External Soul Bone, the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well fell within his perception. Just as he had expected, there was no one inside.

"Poisonous mist capable of threatening ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts is no real problem for me!"

Su Sanjia's body transformed into a beam of light as he actively entered Elementalization. Then, bursting forward at full speed, he charged into the Jade-Scale Poison Formation without hesitation.

Moments later, the poisonous mist vanished. Su Sanjia released his Elementalization and looked ahead, only to see a peerless treasure ground rarely found in this world!

Precious medicinal herbs grew here as abundantly as weeds, while heavenly treasures flourished without restraint. A rich medicinal fragrance washed over him. After walking several dozen more steps, he saw a spring composed of red and blue waters. The conflicting auras of extreme cold and extreme heat had gathered together in strange harmony. It was the legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

"It truly is magnificent and miraculous!"

Su Sanjia sighed in admiration, but he knew his time was limited. He immediately began to act.

Naturally, the first thing he needed to find was an Immortal Herb suitable for himself.

After searching for a while, Su Sanjia found his target on a cliff wall.

A medicinal herb, transparent and gleaming with flowing gold, with four leaves sprouting from its body, entered Su Sanjia's sight. Most mysterious of all, an undying radiance coiled around its core! It grew there quietly, its glow not dazzling, yet never fading.

Radiant Dawn Heaven-Piercing Grass!

A supremely yang and holy object, it absorbed sunlight from the heavens as nourishment. Its light attribute was overwhelmingly domineering; within ten meters of it, not a second plant could possibly grow!

This was one of the Immortal Herbs Su Sanjia desired most.

"After absorbing this Immortal Herb, my Radiant Light Martial Soul will definitely gain a trace of sacred attributes. It may even evolve into Ultimate Light!"

Without any hesitation, Su Sanjia cleanly plucked it. His heart burned with excitement, yet he did not forget to leave behind the roots of the Immortal Herb.

But after going to such trouble to come here, Su Sanjia could not possibly be satisfied with only one Immortal Herb.

He did not rush to consume it. The best time to take it would be at sunrise.

The next herb, however, was different. Noon was the best time to absorb it!

"Extreme Yang Divine Mushroom!"

Not a single leaf could be found on the thick tree trunk. Only a single ganoderma grew quietly upon it, radiating an incomparably intense glow, like a miniature sun! Its entire body was golden, and the patterns on its surface faintly formed the shape of the sun. It was only the size of an adult's fist, yet among the light-attributed Immortal Herbs known to Su Sanjia, it was the finest of them all.

With one hand in Elementalization, he eagerly plucked it. Feeling the searing heat it gave off, Su Sanjia's grin stretched from ear to ear.

If a single Radiant Dawn Heaven-Piercing Grass only had the possibility of evolving his Martial Soul into Ultimate Light, then with this Extreme Yang Divine Mushroom added to it, his Martial Soul would definitely evolve into Ultimate Light!

There was no time to consider anything further. The sun had already reached its highest point of the day, and the sunlight was at its strongest! Su Sanjia climbed to the very top of the cliff and eagerly swallowed it.

The instant it entered his mouth, an extreme scorching sensation swept through Su Sanjia's entire body. Even through his body, a mass of light could still be seen in his abdomen.

His Radiant Light Martial Soul appeared at some point, and four Soul Rings automatically formed around him. The golden radiance emanating from Su Sanjia's body was transforming at a visible speed.

Until it became brilliant gold!
