Fourth Soul Skill

Before Dongfang Yu could continue complaining, he heard a bang, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly again.

Bibi Dong walked over and said, "This is a 4,700-year-old Storm Nebula Tiger. Try again."

Dongfang Yu looked over and saw another Storm Nebula Tiger on its last legs! This woman really didn't waste any time.

"Alright." With that, Dongfang Yu summoned his light sword again and walked toward the poor creature.

Splat!

The sound of the light sword piercing flesh.

The second Storm Nebula Tiger was dead!

Dongfang Yu once again began absorbing the purple Soul Ring with practiced ease.

Bibi Dong watched the process closely from the side and murmured, "There shouldn't be any accidents this time, right?"

Boom!

A massive explosion rang out!

Bibi Dong: "..."

Her expression darkened at a visible speed. This was a blatant slap in the face.

Dongfang Yu stood up, looking awkward again. He hadn't expected Angewomon to give her so little face. The commotion was even louder than before, as though she were afraid Bibi Dong might not hear it.

"Teacher... about this..." Dongfang Yu's voice grew softer and softer.

Bibi Dong frowned. Her icy aura could be felt within ten meters, and Dongfang Yu was one of its victims.

After waiting for a while, Dongfang Yu saw that Bibi Dong still said nothing, so he could only steel himself and say, "Teacher, how about... trying a Soul Beast with a higher cultivation?"

"Have you lost all attachment to this world?" Bibi Dong suddenly laughed.

Dongfang Yu gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Teacher, this disciple merely thinks it's worth a try. Besides... it seems my martial soul rejects this one even more."

Bibi Dong pondered it. It did make some sense. A 4,700-year-old Storm Nebula Tiger absolutely met the requirements, yet it had still exploded. Could the issue truly be its age?

As for finding a Soul Beast with an even lower cultivation, Bibi Dong did not want to try that unless absolutely necessary. Once it succeeded, if the Soul Ring was not of the optimal age, then that Soul Ring would likely be wasted.

Her disciple's Soul Ring configuration had to be top-tier. Whether for public or private reasons, that was how it should be.

"Wait here."

Leaving those words behind, Bibi Dong rose into the air, her eyes sweeping across every direction.

A few minutes later, Bibi Dong suddenly flew rapidly toward one direction!

Dongfang Yu quietly shook his head from the ground, wondering which Soul Beast was about to suffer misfortune.

A few more minutes passed, and the ground trembled again.

Bang!

What was thrown before Dongfang Yu was a half-dead snake-type Soul Beast. Many of its scales had fallen off, and its entire body was covered in blood.

From its eyes, Dongfang Yu could roughly guess what kind of torment it had endured! It must have suffered torture no beast should ever face.

Bibi Dong landed, glanced at the snake, and explained blandly, "A 6,500-year-old Red-tailed Golden Python. It also matches your martial soul. Try again."

Although he already had an answer in his heart, Dongfang Yu still did as she said.

Rip!

The coiled repose beneath that day's sunset marked the fading years of this Red-tailed Golden Python.

Dongfang Yu sat cross-legged once more and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

Less than a few minutes passed.

Bang!

Bibi Dong: "..."

Though displeased inwardly, Bibi Dong noticed something as well. The explosion seemed... quieter? Could the cultivation age be raised even further?

"Wait."

Leaving those words behind, Bibi Dong departed again without taking a single cloud with her.

Dongfang Yu stood up from the ground and shook his head slightly, finally understanding Angewomon's intentions. Going by Bibi Dong's assumptions, she would likely soon bring him a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.

Bibi Dong returned very quickly. After tossing down a tiger-type Soul Beast, she said, "Do it."

Dongfang Yu's lips twitched. Why did he feel like she was treating him as a test subject?

After going through the whole process...

Bang!

The sound was much weaker again.

Bibi Dong smiled to herself. Just as expected.

Then, she flew into the air again...

Over the next several hours, if anyone passed through the area around the center of Star Dou Forest, they might have thought someone was throwing a party here!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

"..."

After several hours, Bibi Dong tossed down the last Soul Beast in her hand.

"This is a ten-thousand-year Light Unicorn. Try again."

Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with anticipation. A ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring—if her disciple succeeded, he would surely usher in a new era in the field.

Seeing Bibi Dong grow somewhat frenzied, Dongfang Yu muttered inwardly, She's addicted!

Looking at the thousand-year Soul Beasts scattered all over the ground, Dongfang Yu sighed softly. What a sin. But there was nothing to be done. She had done it all for him, so he had no right to blame her.

He quickly finished off the Soul Beast, then sat cross-legged and began absorbing the black Soul Ring.

This time, there were no accidents, nor did any cracks appear on the Soul Ring. The process was simply rather painful.

Seeing Dongfang Yu's aura gradually stabilize, Bibi Dong's eyes filled with excitement. So that was it?

Several hours later, just as Dongfang Yu was about to lose consciousness, a comfortable energy suddenly surged through his body. It restored his focus, allowing him to concentrate on absorbing the Soul Ring once more.

Another hour later, Dongfang Yu opened his eyes and rose excitedly to his feet. "Teacher, this disciple succeeded!"

Bibi Dong could not help but smile as well. "Mm, I saw."

"Tell me about this Soul Skill."

Dongfang Yu nodded and said with a smile:

"Reporting to Teacher, this disciple's fourth Soul Skill is called Holy Radiance Light Arrow. It can ignore all physical defenses and deal 500% damage. Against..."

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow. "Go on."

"Cough, cough... Against Evil Soul Masters and evil martial souls, it can deal 800% damage." After saying that, Dongfang Yu immediately became quiet and obedient, just like when he had obtained his domain.

Bibi Dong froze. It was actually this powerful? Was this Holy Maiden truly a martial soul that existed specifically to destroy evil?

"Use it on me."

"Huh?" Dongfang Yu felt somewhat uneasy. What if he angered her and she beat him up?

"Mm?"

"Then please be careful, Teacher." Dongfang Yu could only agree.

"Fourth Soul Skill—Holy Radiance Light Arrow!"

Angewomon behind him rose high into the air. A bow appeared in her left hand, and then her right hand drew the bow into a full moon!

An arrow of light condensed from radiance instantly shot toward Bibi Dong!

In the distance, Bibi Dong watched the arrow with an indifferent gaze, then gave a cold smile. This aura truly was unfriendly toward her.

Just as the arrow was about to strike her, she merely raised her hand and gave a light wave. The arrow instantly scattered and vanished without a trace!

Dongfang Yu in the distance: "..."

Half his heart turned cold!

Who exactly was whose nemesis?

Bibi Dong walked up to Dongfang Yu and said with a light smile, "This move is quite good."

Yet Dongfang Yu could not feel happy. No matter how good the move was, he had been hit so hard that he was no longer in the mood.

The underlying meaning was: you're very capable, but you're still nothing before me!

It was like getting a good-person card from a girl who rejected your confession: "You're great, but I don't like you!"

How aggravating!
