The night is getting darker,
Occasionally, a few unknown Soul Beast roars came from outside the cave.
But inside the cave, there is peace and warmth.
The bonfire crackled, and the orange-red firelight stretched the two people's figures very long, reflecting on the rough rock wall, swaying gently.
Lin Ye looked down at Zhu Zhuqing, who was already sleeping soundly in his arms, unable to hide the smile on his lips.
The girl's breathing was steady and long, and her long eyelashes cast a shallow shadow under her eyelids.
That pretty face that always looked a bit cold and stubborn on weekdays looked particularly peaceful and gentle in her sleep.
She didn't seem to be sleeping peacefully, her small brows were slightly wrinkled, and her small mouth was pouting unconsciously, as if she was having a nightmare.
Lin Ye felt soft when he saw this.
He knew how insecure this seemingly strong girl was deep down.
Star Luo Empire's brutal competition, sister Zhu Zhuyun's pressing step by step...
These experiences forced her to use a cold shell to disguise herself and protect herself.
Perhaps only in front of herself, after ensuring absolute safety, would she occasionally let go of her guard and reveal the softness and dependence that belongs to her age.
Lin Ye stretched out his hand and gently smoothed her frown with his fingertips.
His movements were very gentle, for fear of waking up Big Cat in his arms.
Feeling the warmth of his fingertips, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to feel at ease in his sleep, and his frown slowly relaxed.
She subconsciously nuzzled into his arms, found a more comfortable position, and pressed her face tightly against his chest.
Lin Ye looked at her such a dependent look, and couldn't help but feel weak.
He couldn't help lowering his head and leaving a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"Good night, Big Cat..."
He murmured softly, then tightened his arms and hugged her tighter.
The next month was a painful and joyful hell-like special training for Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing.
Death Grand Canyon, worthy of the name "death".
The environment here is extremely harsh, shrouded in miasma all year round, and there are many types of Soul Beast, which are extremely aggressive.
The two fought almost every day.
Sometimes Soul Beast comes to them on their own initiative and treats them as prey.
Sometimes, it was Lin Ye who took the initiative to take Zhu Zhuqing to challenge those powerful Soul Beast, in order to squeeze her potential and improve her actual combat ability.
Fight, fight, fight!
Blood and sweat have become the most common things this month.
Zhu Zhuqing's progress is rapid.
In countless life-and-death battles, her understanding and application of her own Soul Skill became more and more proficient.
Hell Stab is no longer a simple straight-line charge, but has become more bizarre and unpredictable, with tricky angles.
Netherworld Hundred Claws's attack frequency is faster and more powerful.
And her third Soul Skill Invincible Golden Body was used to the extreme.
She no longer passively uses it to save her life, but has learned to actively use this three-second physical immunity time to create opportunities for attack!
Of course,
In addition to the rapid improvement of personal strength, the cooperation between the two has also become more and more tacit.
Especially the control of Martial Soul Fusion Skill "Dark Nether Tiger".
Triggered by chance from the beginning,
Up to now, they have been able to take the initiative to use this powerful trump card!
Although every time it is used, most of their Soul Power will still be consumed.
But this is enough to give them terrifying destructive power comparable to Soul Sage level!
This is their biggest trump card!
This afternoon, there was an open space deep in the canyon.
"Ho--!"
A huge Ironclad Earth Dragon with a cultivation level of nearly eight thousand years.
Letting out an unwilling cry, the huge body fell to the ground, splashing dust all over the sky.
On the top of its head, there was a huge claw mark with bones visible, and black blood slowly flowed out.
"Huh... huh..."
Zhu Zhuqing was half-kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily, her clothes soaked with sweat and clinging tightly to her body, outlining her thrilling and perfect curves.
Her face is a little pale, Soul Power consumes a lot of money,
But those purple eyes were full of excitement and joy after winning the battle.
Just now, she took care of this Ironclad Earth Dragon, which is famous for its defense, all by herself!
Although the process was a bit difficult and she even used Invincible Golden Body once, she finally did it!
"Good job, Big Cat."
Lin Ye jumped down from the tree nearby, holding a few freshly picked wild fruits in his hand.
He walked up to Zhu Zhuqing and handed over a cleaned fruit.
"I am becoming more and more like a master."
"Humph, of course."
Zhu Zhuqing took the fruit and raised her chin proudly, but the smile in the corner of her eyes betrayed her inner joy at the moment.
She took a bite of the fruit, and the sweet and sour juice exploded in her mouth, making her feel refreshed.
While eating, she felt the changes in Soul Power inside her body, and her face suddenly showed uncontrollable ecstasy!
"Lin Ye! I... I seem to be about to break through!"
She could clearly feel that the Soul Power in her body had reached a critical point!
The bottleneck at level 39 is loosened!
"What?"
Lin Ye looked surprised when he heard this.
"Great!"
He was also very excited.
This month, he witnessed Zhu Zhuqing's efforts and growth with his own eyes.
This girl, with her sweat and perseverance, made the impossible possible!
"Quick! Find a place and I will protect you!"
Lin Ye looked around and quickly found the hidden cave they had used before.
The two returned to the cave, and Zhu Zhuqing immediately sat down cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
Lin Ye was guarding the entrance of the cave with a solemn expression, while Spiritual Power was fully deployed, alert to all disturbances around it.
Time passed by minute by minute.
On Zhu Zhuqing, Soul Power fluctuates more and more violently.
at this very moment,
Boom!
A powerful Soul Power wave centered on Zhu Zhuqing and suddenly spread to all directions.
Done!
Lin Ye's face instantly showed a look of ecstasy!
I saw three Soul Ring slowly emerging from Zhu Zhuqing's body.
It's exactly yellow, yellow and purple.
Then Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened his eyes.
A purple light flashed from her eyes!
Soul Power, level 40!
She finally became a Soul Ancestor!
"I... I finally broke through!"
Zhu Zhuqing Feeling the surging Soul Power in the body, the whole person is still in a dreamlike trance.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes turned to Lin Ye involuntarily, with a hint of tenderness and gratitude in his eyes.
"Lin Ye, thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Lin Ye raised his eyebrows and said,
"You worked hard enough, but I didn't do anything."
"But..."
"But what? It's not allowed!"
Lin Ye interrupted her directly.
He walked up and rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's head habitually, smiled slightly and said:
"Don't forget, we are partners who can use Martial Soul Fusion Skill. You have become stronger, and my face is shining."
