Stealing the Papal Token

Tang San stared at him in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

What kind of ability was this? How could it be so terrifying?

Duan Yu looked coldly at the master and disciple sprawled on the ground, dependent on each other for survival, and said coldly:

"Take your useless teacher and get him treated. Remember, from now on, take a detour whenever you see me. Otherwise, I'll beat you up every time I see you."

After saying that, Duan Yu did not spare them another glance and turned to leave.

"Stop! Duan Yu, stop right there!"

"You heartless bastard! How dare you treat me like this? I'll make sure you can't stay at Notting Academy any longer! I'll have the headmaster expel you!"

Duan Yu, who had been about to leave, was amused by Yu Xiaogang's words and stopped.

"Who do you think the academy would choose between a nine-year-old Level 29 genius and a forty-nine-year-old Level 29 piece of trash?"

"Besides, I couldn't stay here any longer anyway. A perfectly good academy has become disgusting to me because of your presence."

"I've already applied to withdraw. I only hope I never run into trash like you again."

With that, Duan Yu kicked aside the dead pig blocking his path and turned to leave.

After Duan Yu left, silver light flashed in his hand, and a platinum token appeared.

It was the Papal Token Yu Xiaogang had carried with him.

Except now, this Papal Token belonged to him.

With this Papal Token, he would be able to throw his weight around within Spirit Hall's territory from now on. Even the Heaven Dou Imperial Family would have to treat him with caution and respect upon seeing it.

However, going to Heaven Dou City was not his most pressing matter right now. He first had to make a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

When he had fought those two useless master and disciple earlier, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, his soul power had actually broken through to Level 30.

As long as he absorbed a third soul ring, he would officially advance to a Three-Ring Soul Venerable.

A nine-year-old Three-Ring Soul Venerable with the Time-Space Twin Saint Dragons Twin Martial Souls was absolutely a peerless genius on the continent.

Duan Yu arrived at the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, he wandered through the Star Dou Great Forest for more than ten days without finding a soul beast suitable for him. The ones he encountered were either ten-year soul beasts or hundred-year soul beasts.

There were some thousand-year soul beasts as well, but none of them matched his martial souls at all.

At first, Duan Yu carefully sensed his surroundings and searched in earnest. After several days, he realized there was no use rushing it, so he simply wandered aimlessly through the Star Dou Great Forest alone.

He had been terrible with directions in his previous life, and even after coming here, that trait had not changed.

After half a month, Duan Yu finally discovered a soul beast suitable for him.

A spatial-attributed Void Butterfly!

The Void Butterfly danced gracefully amid a lush grove. As it fluttered, Duan Yu could clearly sense the surrounding space constantly shifting and pulsing.

What a powerful Void Butterfly. It probably had four thousand years of cultivation.

Duan Yu watched the Void Butterfly gradually flying away and considered whether to absorb it.

Although Yu Xiaogang had nearly gotten him killed the previous two times, his physical strength was no longer what it had once been.

But spatial-attributed soul beasts were rare...

Absorb it!

It was only a four-thousand-year Void Butterfly. As long as he could kill it, he could absorb it.

The moment he made up his mind, Duan Yu possessed himself with his Spatial Dragon King martial soul. Silver-white dragon armor covered his body.

Duan Yu opened a spatial rift in the air and stepped through it. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the Void Butterfly, his dragon claws reaching directly for its wings.

The Void Butterfly sensed the disturbance in the surrounding space and immediately realized something was wrong. Silver light flashed as it fled far away, then turned and appeared behind Duan Yu.

The Void Butterfly beat its wings, intending to use spatial vibrations to restrict Duan Yu's spatial abilities. At the same time, its claws, capable of tearing through space, slashed toward his back.

Duan Yu snorted coldly. Silver light flickered in his eyes as his right dragon claw forcibly caught the Void Butterfly's claws.

The Void Butterfly's spatial vibrations had no effect whatsoever against the Spatial Dragon King, a martial soul specifically governing space.

Duan Yu grabbed the stunned Void Butterfly and viciously smashed it into the ground.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A string of shattering impacts rang out, mixed with the Void Butterfly's miserable cries.

Just as Duan Yu prepared to deliver the final blow and send it on its way, the Void Butterfly erupted with silver light and instantly vanished from his grasp. A spatial storm swept Duan Yu away from behind.

"Damn it!"

Duan Yu had thought victory was assured, only to be caught off guard. He cursed under his breath as his first soul ring lit up beneath his feet.

"First Soul Skill, Spatial Rift!"

Countless Spatial Rifts instantly sealed off the Void Butterfly's escape routes.

Seeing that it could not flee, the Void Butterfly frantically flapped its wings, throwing the surrounding space into chaos. Then its body suddenly jerked forward as it charged straight at Duan Yu amid a spatial storm.

Duan Yu's Spatial Rifts were completely shattered by this move.

However, as the existence among the Dragon God's nine sons that wielded authority over space, the Spatial Dragon King naturally possessed one of the greatest levels of spatial control on the entire continent.

The instant the spatial rifts were broken open, Duan Yu pointed with his dragon claw, and the shattered spatial rifts reformed.

Then layer after layer of spatial rifts wrapped around the Void Butterfly.

The four-thousand-year Void Butterfly had long developed a measure of intelligence. Once it realized that continuing like this would put its life in danger,

the wings behind the Void Butterfly suddenly exploded, and endless silver spikes of light shot toward Duan Yu.

"Humph!"

Duan Yu snorted coldly as his second soul ring lit up.

"Second Soul Skill, Spatial Annihilation!"

The endless silver spikes that should have pierced directly through Duan Yu instead passed through him and struck the large tree behind him.

Duan Yu was unharmed, but the Void Butterfly was not so fortunate.

Using the intangibility and teleportation effect granted by Spatial Annihilation, Duan Yu instantly appeared before the Void Butterfly. His spatial dragon claws tightly seized its neck.

With a crack, a pale purple soul ring slowly rose from its body.

It marked the perfect end of this four-thousand-year Void Butterfly's life. It had encountered the one who understood it best.

Duan Yu looked at the pale purple soul ring without immediately absorbing it. After checking the surrounding area and confirming it was safe,

he finally calmed himself, adjusted his condition, and sat down cross-legged.

The moment he began absorbing it, the powerful force accumulated over a thousand years rampaged through his body.

The force left Duan Yu drenched in sweat, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Duan Yu clenched his teeth and endured the immense power.

The maximum age for the third soul ring of an ordinary Three-Ring Soul Venerable was eighteen hundred years, while this Void Butterfly had reached four thousand years—an excess of twenty-two hundred years.

"So what if it exceeds it by twenty-two hundred years?"

"I, Duan Yu, am the continent's number one genius. Even if it exceeded the limit by twenty-two thousand years, I'd still absorb it!"

Duan Yu steadied his mind. Within his body, the Time-Space Twin Saint Dragons intertwined and fused, jointly neutralizing and dissolving the terrifying force.

Even Duan Yu himself did not notice that the Time and Space Saint Dragons were becoming ever more tightly intertwined in their fusion.

Just one step away... and they would completely merge into one.
