A Year Later, Lin Chen Breaks Through to Soul Saint

The day after the Divine Trial descended, Lin Chen made a decision: from that day onward, he would cultivate together with them.

He put it simply: "Tang San was taken away by the Lord of the Void Ruin, and he will return sooner or later. When that happens, he will not come after me alone. I will not let any of you stand in front of me and take the blade for me. I want every one of you to have the strength to protect yourselves and the ability to fight by my side."

Xiao Wu was the first to raise her hand in agreement. Ning Rongrong smiled and said he had finally come to his senses.

Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, but that very night, she moved a quilt into his courtyard.

Within three days, the other girls also moved in one after another, using all sorts of excuses.

The once-quiet courtyard became lively. Every morning, several different rhythms of breathing and meditation would sound at once, accompanied by the interweaving glow of Soul Power.

Time passed faster than expected.

In spring, he sparred with Xiao Wu beneath the waterfall in the back mountain. The Soft Bone Rabbit's footwork was nimble, and paired with the murderous aura of the Asura God Trial, her moves grew increasingly fierce.

Lin Chen fought her using the Yin-Yang Law, helping her hone her combat instincts. At night, he circulated Soul Power to nourish her meridians, completely stabilizing her newly broken-through Soul Emperor realm.

In summer, Ning Rongrong sat beneath the shade of a tree, studying the Nine-Colored Divine Light she had newly acquired.

Lin Chen demonstrated the linked transformations of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth within the Five Elements Law, allowing her to comprehend how supportive power could affect multiple people at once.
