Mutated Ice Silkworm with a Single Domain-Type Soul Skill

At that moment, Long Aotian was locked in fierce battle with two Soul Ancestors.

Lu Chen called out from afar, "Need any help?"

"No need!"

Long Aotian grinned.

His foot suddenly shifted an inch to the left, perfectly evading the wolf claw striking from behind.

"I'm in great shape right now!"

Before his words had even faded, he smoothly placed his left hand atop the opponent's wolf claw.

A flowing force instantly locked onto the opponent's wrist, while the second Soul Ring beneath his feet abruptly flashed.

His right hand instantly transformed into a dark-gold longsword, and he swung it fiercely!

"Rip!"

A cold gleam flashed past, and a line of blood sprayed through the air.

The Soul Ancestor clutched his throat and staggered back again and again.

In the end, he collapsed limply to the ground, completely devoid of breath.

"This ability is way too powerful!"

"I feel like I've unlocked a god's-eye view. Every movement my opponent makes is right before my eyes!"

"With the combat analysis of the Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist, fighting above my level doesn't feel stressful at all."

Long Aotian laughed excitedly, then turned to look at the last Soul Ancestor.

The Soul Ancestor clutched his injured left arm, his face deathly pale as he fled in panic.

"I... I was wrong! I'm leaving right now! I'll never dare again!"

He simply could not imagine that a Soul Elder could suppress two Soul Ancestors at once.

Although Long Aotian had one more Millennium Soul Ring than them, they also had one more Soul Skill!

Yet they had remained at a disadvantage throughout the battle.

"Damn it, they're all monsters!"

The man then shot Xue Ling'er a vicious glare from afar.

"It's all because of that damned girl. Without her support, that bastard couldn't possibly have had it so easy."

"Once I escape, I'll definitely torture her to death!"

He cursed inwardly, wanting only to escape this nightmarish place as quickly as possible.

However, before he had run more than a few steps, a black vine suddenly shot out from the street beside him and wrapped around his ankle.

He lost his balance and tripped directly onto the ground.

"Fuck! What is this thing?"

Before his words had even faded, a cold dark-gold longsword was already pressed against his neck.

Long Aotian looked down at him and sneered.

"You want to leave? It won't be that easy."

Without any more words, he swung his blade, and a head rolled across the ground.

Blood dyed the ground red.

"It's finally over!"

Xue Ling'er let out a long breath, fine beads of sweat already forming on her forehead.

Though her domain Soul Skill was powerful, it consumed an enormous amount of Soul Power. She was already struggling to hold on.

"How are you? Are you hurt?"

Long Aotian walked over to her with a hearty smile.

Xue Ling'er shook her head. As she looked at the rugged, imposing young man before her, her eyes glimmered faintly.

She quickly thanked him sincerely. "Thank you! I really had you to thank just now."

Long Aotian waved a hand, looking unconcerned.

"No need to thank me. I had a pretty great time in that fight."

"If you want to thank someone, thank Brother Lu. If he hadn't taken on that Soul King, I wouldn't have been able to win even with your support."

Xue Ling'er naturally knew that Lu Chen had contributed the most, so she bowed to him as well and thanked him.

"Thank you!"

Lu Chen nodded. "It was nothing. No need to be so polite."

Seeing that the onlookers around them still had not dispersed and were instead gathering in even greater numbers,

their expressions varied.

He immediately said to the group, "Let's leave first. We can talk later if there's anything."

Tang Ya nodded and followed along.

Meiying and Xue Ling'er exchanged a glance, then hurriedly followed as well.

The group headed toward a nearby tavern.

Inside the private room!

The moment they sat down, Tang Ya could no longer suppress her curiosity. She looked at Xue Ling'er and asked,

"What is your Martial Soul? Was that Ring Fusion you used earlier?"

Lu Chen also looked over with great interest, clearly curious about the matter as well.

To their surprise, Xue Ling'er looked utterly confused. Blinking, she asked, "What is Ring Fusion?"

"Uh..."

Tang Ya was instantly at a loss for words, unsure how to explain it.

Lu Chen spoke up at the right moment and explained simply,

"Ring Fusion is when two or more Soul Rings are fused together, concentrating Soul Power for a single release. It can unleash power far beyond that of a single Soul Ring."

Xue Ling'er shook her head after hearing this and answered honestly,

"Then I don't know Ring Fusion. My Martial Soul is a Mutated Ice Silkworm, and after awakening, it came with a Mental Domain."

"You were born with a domain?"

Tang Ya abruptly sat upright, her face full of shock. "Something like that actually exists?"

Domains were extremely rare on Douluo Continent.

A powerful domain could often determine the outcome of a battle.

Normally, they could only be obtained through Martial Soul fusion, inherited from a Soul Beast, or through later enlightenment.

Even Lu Chen could not help feeling somewhat envious upon hearing that she had been born with a domain.

"A good thing?"

Xue Ling'er gave a self-mocking smile at those words, her tone filled with desolation. "I'd rather not have this domain."

"When my parents first saw that I had a domain, they thought I had exceptional talent. But who would have known that my Soul Power would test at only Rank Four?"

"Even after absorbing more Soul Rings, I never gained any new abilities."

"Even now that I'm a three-ring Soul Elder, I still only know one useless Mental Network."

"Who said your Mental Network is useless?"

Long Aotian could not remain seated any longer and hurriedly refuted her. "I've experienced it firsthand!"

"Your Visual Sharing is absolutely top-tier support in battle!"

"Without your support, there's no way I could have won so easily!"

Meiying also comforted her softly from the side. "Sister Ling'er, don't put yourself down. Your ability has enormous potential. You just haven't found the right direction yet."

"Otherwise, why would the people from the Mad Wolf Adventure Group refuse to let you go no matter what?"

Lu Chen's heart stirred. He looked at Xue Ling'er expectantly.

"Can you try this domain ability on me?"

Xue Ling'er froze for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Of course."

As soon as she spoke, her eyes suddenly took on a brilliant golden hue.

Two translucent silver-white antennae quietly emerged from the top of her head.

As the antennae trembled slightly, the three Soul Rings beneath her feet began to flow and merge like mercury.

In the end, they transformed into a condensed silver-white halo.

A vast yet gentle spiritual force spread from her like invisible ripples.

It quietly surged toward Lu Chen.

The next instant!

Lu Chen felt his perspective abruptly shift into a bird's-eye view.

Everything within the entire tavern came into view.

The thick walls, moving figures, tables, chairs, and furnishings all became clear outlines.

There was not the slightest obstruction.

Isn't this Huo Yuhao's Mental Detection Sharing?!

The view before him was almost exactly the same as the first Soul Skill of Huo Yuhao from the anime in his memories!

"Within the range of my domain, I can freely share my perspective with others."

"The detection range will also expand as my spiritual power and number of Soul Rings increase."

"At my current level of spiritual power, the detection radius is only around three hundred meters."

Xue Ling'er explained softly.

"Three hundred meters!"

Lu Chen sucked in a sharp breath, his heart filled with astonishment.

Such a vast detection range, and she said it was useless?

One had to know that even with the boost of the Million-Year Soul Ring Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao's maximum detection distance at the Soul Grandmaster stage had only been one hundred meters.

Yet Xue Ling'er, a Soul Elder, already had a detection radius of three hundred meters. And this was supposed to be weak?

Lu Chen could already imagine that if Xue Ling'er later attached nine spiritual-type Soul Rings,

the combined detection range might directly cover an entire continent!

If a Fixed-Mounted Soul Cannon were fired with this, wouldn't it be just like a guided missile?

Long-range attacks across an entire continent?

She was the perfect Soul Engineer!

He absolutely could not let this kind of talent slip away!

"What a strange perspective!"

Tang Ya, who had also received the shared view, curiously looked around as though she had discovered a new world.

"Alright, put it away."

Lu Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at Xue Ling'er with blazing eyes, his tone certain. "Your ability is not weak at all!"

"If it were used on a battlefield, it would absolutely be a terrifying ability capable of changing the course of a battle!"

"What use is strong support? Without even a bit of attack power, I can't even protect my own family."

Xue Ling'er clenched her hands tightly, a trace of self-mockery and unwillingness flashing through her eyes.

"Sister Xue'er..."

Meiying opened her mouth, but did not know how to comfort her.

Hadn't she also failed to protect her younger sister?

That was why her sister was still suffering in the Duke's Estate.

"Who said your ability can only support others?"

Lu Chen's voice suddenly rang out beside Xue Ling'er's ears.

Xue Ling'er froze at his words, then looked up at Lu Chen, her eyes full of confusion.
