Rising Great Sun Domain, Elders Compete for the Opportunity

The original Jadephosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul manifested, gradually evolving in the direction of a dragon.

Its azure snake scales gradually transformed into hard, emerald-green dragon scales, carrying a faint earthy-yellow sheen.

Dragon whiskers slowly began to grow, and its snake head transformed into a dragon head.

"The snake has transformed into a Horned Dragon."

Qian Daoliu was somewhat astonished. He had never expected a single Earth Dragon Golden Melon to evolve Dugu Bo's Martial Soul.

This Immortal Herb was truly miraculous, and its effects were so potent.

Xiao Yu had even consumed four Immortal Herbs. His physique and bones must have already undergone earth-shaking changes.

Dugu Bo's aura, originally at level ninety-one, rose to level ninety-two at this moment.

"I finally broke through."

Dugu Bo opened his eyes, unable to hide his excited joy.

The poison had been cured, his cultivation had broken through, and his Martial Soul had evolved.

Dugu Bo looked at the Martial Soul behind him, his heart filled with emotion. He had never thought that he, Dugu Bo, would have such a day—that he would be saved by the young master of Spirit Hall.

He wanted to throw back his head and laugh, but before Qian Daoliu, he was nothing more than a younger brother. He should return home and share this joy with Yanyan instead!

Dugu Bo rose to his feet, walked before the two of them, and dropped to one knee. "Thank you, Young Master, for saving my life."

"Senior Dugu, there is no need for such courtesy. Next, return properly to Tiandou City. As for joining Spirit Hall, I will make arrangements."

Dugu Bo nodded in agreement after hearing this.

"Dugu Bo, Xiao Yu will be heading to Tiandou City before long. Your task will be to assist him well. Do you understand?"

Qian Daoliu reminded him.

"Grand Pontiff, I understand," Dugu Bo replied.

"Since that is the case, we shall part here."

Qian Daoliu did not linger any longer. He immediately left with Su Yu, no longer intending to search for Spirit Beasts in Sunset Forest, but to seek them in the Star Dou Great Forest instead.

As a Peak Douluo, he could travel to the Star Dou Great Forest with great speed.

Before leaving, Su Yu handed the other Earth Dragon Golden Melon to Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo watched Qian Daoliu and Su Yu depart, then looked at the Earth Dragon Golden Melon in his hand.

He immediately returned home to give it to his granddaughter.

The two traveled extremely quickly. In less than half a day, they reached the Star Dou Great Forest. After spending three days there, they found an eighteen-thousand-year-old Holy Light White Tiger.

Upon seeing this suitable Spirit Beast, Qian Daoliu directly suppressed it, while Su Yu stepped forward with the Angel Holy Sword to finish it off.

After the Holy Light White Tiger was dealt with, a black ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring slowly floated out.

"A ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring. Xiao Yu, once you absorb it, your soul power should rise considerably."

Qian Daoliu could not help but feel excited as he watched the floating ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring.

Su Yu currently had one yellow and two purple Spirit Rings. After absorbing this one, he would have one yellow, two purple, and one black.

Most importantly, his Fourth Spirit Ring would be ten thousand years old, placing him far ahead of those his age.

"Perhaps by a lot."

Su Yu answered.

He immediately sat down, and the Spirit Ring floated above his head.

What followed was the process of absorbing the Spirit Ring.

For Su Yu, after being tempered by ice and fire, his bones and physique had become extremely powerful, while his spiritual power was sufficiently robust. Absorbing a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring posed no problem at all.

One day later.

Su Yu successfully entered the Spirit Ancestor realm. With the help of the remaining energy from the Immortal Herbs, he directly rose to level forty-six.

Along with the joy of his breakthrough, the system's voice sounded in his mind.

[დინ! Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through to Spirit Ancestor. Breakthrough reward obtained: Domain Seed: Rising Great Sun]

[Effect: Centered on the user, deploy a small "Rising Great Sun Domain."

Within the domain, the power of light-attribute soul skills increases by eighty percent. Dark-attribute enemies who enter will suffer continuous suppression and burning.

The domain's range will gradually expand as cultivation increases.]

Outside, Qian Daoliu sensed something unusual and stared fixedly at Su Yu.

"He awakened a domain."

Qian Daoliu was startled inwardly.

He had awakened a domain merely by absorbing a Spirit Ring. That was far too terrifying.

Other than domains granted innately, most required special opportunities to awaken, such as the Deathgod Domain in the City of Slaughter.

Yet awakening a domain simply by absorbing a Spirit Ring was a first.

Su Yu opened his eyes and eagerly shared the news. "Grandpa Qian, you must have felt it too, right?"

"I did. You awakened a domain."

Qian Daoliu smiled.

"That's right. My domain is Rising Great Sun. Centered on myself, I can deploy a small 'Rising Great Sun Domain.'

Within the domain, the power of light-attribute soul skills increases by eighty percent. Dark-attribute enemies who enter will suffer continuous suppression and burning. The domain's range will gradually expand as my cultivation increases."

After explaining, Su Yu continued:

"My fourth soul skill is Angel Roar. This soul skill can be either a single-target or group sonic attack.

It can completely ignore defenses and attack the enemy's sea of spirit. Against those with weak spiritual power, it can cause dizziness."

Qian Daoliu raised a brow. "Interesting. Your fourth soul skill is a spiritual attack-type soul skill."

Given Su Yu's current condition, this soul skill would undoubtedly be an extremely powerful trump card.

If paired with his second soul skill and the effects of the Rising Great Sun Domain, Qian Daoliu could hardly imagine how terrifying the sonic attack would become.

The opponent would have no way to resist it unless they possessed a special ability or soul skill that defended against spiritual attacks.

Such things were generally rare.

After returning, it would be time to go to Spirit Hall Academy and properly teach those Golden Generation brats a lesson.

"Besides that, my soul power has reached level forty-six."

Qian Daoliu smiled. "You are only four levels away from Spirit King. This trip has truly yielded abundant gains. Come, let us return."

Qian Daoliu and Su Yu possessed their Martial Souls and began returning to Spirit Hall.

One day later, when the two returned to the Elder Palace.

Qian Daoliu shared the good news with the other elders. Upon learning that Su Yu had broken through to level forty-six, his Martial Soul had evolved, and he had awakened a domain, everyone was greatly shocked.

"Xiao Yu, you are truly impressive. You have made this Fifth Grandpa look at you in a new light."

Lightfeather Douluo praised him.

He had become increasingly impressed by Su Yu's talent.

"Fifth Brother, take Xiao Yu to Spirit Hall Academy," Qian Daoliu instructed. "Let him test his skills."

"No problem, Big Brother."

Lightfeather Douluo accepted the order and immediately took Su Yu to Spirit Hall Academy.

Afterward, Qian Daoliu began explaining his plans to the other elders.

"We are heading to Tiandou City."

"Since Xiao Yu knows of Xue'er's existence, he should go see her."

The other elders all nodded in agreement.

Su Yu had stayed in the Elder Palace for six years, nearly always keeping his head down and cultivating. He had barely experienced life in the outside world, so this was a perfect chance for him to go out and see it.

"Of course, one of us must secretly protect Xiao Yu, lest he draw the attention of others!"

Once Qian Daoliu said this.

They all understood that many people harbored hostility toward Xiao Yu in secret, including Tang Hao and Bibi Dong.

"I'll do it. I'll protect Xiao Yu."

"I'll go!"

"I'll go!"

The many elders began competing for this assignment.
