Light Blade Mantis, Nine Suns Divine Skill

Leaving the room, the three of them chose the most unadorned method, which was high-speed flight.

Qian Daoliu pulled Su Yu's palm, his martial soul embodying as three pairs of wings emerged behind his back, fluttering slightly as he instantly took off toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Greenlark Douluo and Golden Crocodile Douluo chased up after them as well.

The extremely fast speed broke through the clouds, and Yue Guan and Guimei, who had been ordered by Bibi Dong to scout the situation of the Elder Palace at the Pope Palace, saw this scene and were both struck with dismay.

Why are these elders, who usually never leave the Elder Palace, all coming out today?

Yue Guan was extremely surprised, but he still caught sight of a small figure in Qian Daoliu's arms; however, because the child's back was turned, he failed to spot any of their facial features.

Old Ghost, did you see that? The Grand Pontiff is holding a child in his arms. It looks like a six-year-old child. Could it be a newly taken disciple?

Guimei shook his head. "Unclear, but I reckon it's about the same. Let's go report to His Holiness the Pope!"

Subsequently, the two of them went one after the other toward the Pope Palace and told Bibi Dong what they had seen.

After listening, Bibi Dong fell into deep thought.

Three elders moving out collectively—it seems this child is no simple matter!

To be able to make these three old monsters who never left their hall move out together, she imagined it must be a rather good little genius.

"In that case, continue the investigation," Bibi Dong instructed. "We must ensure nothing goes wrong."

The two men acknowledged the order and departed.

Half a day later, Qian Daoliu and the others landed sequentially in the Star Dou Great Forest.

They did not land in the outer periphery's outer regions, but rather in the outer periphery region itself.

Tall, dense trees blocked out the sun, and the air was fresh and moist.

Qian Daoliu set Su Yu down on the ground. Along this journey just now, he had also slightly experienced the feeling of holding Qian Jili when he was a child.

Although not a true son, it nevertheless gave him the feeling of having a son.

Old man as he was, his dormant heart could be considered to have rippled just a bit.

"Next, let's look for a spirit beast."

Before searching for a spirit beast, Qian Daoliu pointed to a two-hundred-year-old Magic Pearl Lizard and told Su Yu how to judge the specific age of a spirit beast.

Once confirmed, Su Yu could be considered to have grasped the basics and officially stepped into the world of spirit masters, lacking only a single spirit ring to become a Great Spirit Master. Wondering what kind of spirit beast it would be?

Next, Qian Daoliu and the three of them brought Su Yu to search for a suitable spirit beast.

Walking along the path, Su Yu and the three of them agreed unanimously that a spirit beast between five hundred and eight hundred years old was the most suitable.

Naturally, the three of them did not release their powerful pressure lest they frighten away hundred-year spirit beasts, and could only search slowly.

The party walked through the forest for three hours. Originally, aside from some fire-attribute and water-attribute spirit beasts, there was nothing else around, until the four of them prepared to cross a patch of bushes—

A mantis suddenly darted out from the bushes, a pair of huge sickle blades radiating a chilling light that was incomparably sharp.

"Courting death."

Qian Daoliu gave a cold snort, his finger lifting slightly as a golden light descended, directly suppressing the mantis in place.

Su Yu looked at the suppressed mantis.

Its body was covered in a glistening white and gold-tinted carapace, its triangular head grew a pair of gilded compound eyes, its huge pair of sickle blades radiated a sacred golden light, and its thin wings rippled with a soft luster. Its posture was upright and fierce, yet at this moment it was suppressed right in place and unable to move at all.

"A seven-hundred-and-twenty-year-old Light Blade Mantis?"

Qian Daoliu squatted down to inspect it, discovering that this mantis possessed sacred attributes, and moreover these sickle blades were truly incomparably sharp.

Greenlark Douluo found it strange—why would it suddenly attack them?

He walked over to the bushes to inspect, discovering a dead Power-Varying Rabbit whose age was around three hundred years, and then looking at the Light Blade Mantis, he understood in an instant.

"Big brother, this mantis mistook us for intruders, and moreover it was feeding, so I reckon being disturbed made it even more irritated."

Greenlark Douluo briefly recounted the situation.

"So that's how it is."

Qian Daoliu smiled calmly. "It turns out to be a lucky break."

"Xiaoyu, make your move!"

After Su Yu's martial soul embodied, an Angel Holy Sword appeared in his hand. Aiming for the vital spot of the Light Blade Mantis, he stabbed it with a sword, acting very decisively without the slightest hesitation.

Killing the Holy Blade Mantis with a single sword, a yellow hundred-year spirit ring slowly floated up from its corpse.

"Don't have any psychological pressure; absorb the spirit ring!"

Qian Daoliu encouraged Su Yu in an extremely affectionate tone.

Su Yu took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and guided the spirit ring to the top of his head. Just as he began absorbing it, he felt immense pressure, but as time passed, he gradually adapted to it.

"Big brother, Xiaoyu's starting point is much higher than Xue'er's. In the future, he might not be unable to stand shoulder to shoulder with Xue'er and become a legend of this era."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was a living legend.

If other factors were not calculated, Golden Crocodile Douluo was the oldest person in the Elder Palace, even older than Qian Daoliu.

"Tang Hao's era has already passed; now is the era of the youths."

Qian Daoliu thought very highly of Su Yu.

Aside from the three of them,

the remaining four elders were currently unclear.

The three of them chatted and laughed for a while.

As time passed, the spirit ring above Su Yu's head entered his body.

At this moment, Su Yu stepped into the Spirit Master realm, and right at this moment, the system prompt tone began to ring.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through to Spirit Master, obtaining breakthrough reward: Nine Suns Divine Skill]

Before Su Yu had time to check his physical condition, the voice in his mind made him overjoyed.

Nine Suns Divine Skill: Supreme-yang and supreme-rigidity, restrains cold, evil poison, and darkness. Internal energy is endless and unceasing, recovery is extremely fast, defensive rebound, extremely strong body-protecting ability, hundred-poisons immunity, exclusively restrains cold poison and yin poison.

The Nine Suns Divine Skill was not just somewhat useful for the Divine Angel; it was extremely useful.

When he went back, he would practice it properly and see what kind of effect it had when matched together.

Opening his eyes, the three of them surrounded him and asked, "How is it?"

"Spirit power broke through by three ranks, and the first spirit skill is Holy Light Slash. It condenses sacred power onto the blade or wings, slashing out a half-moon-shaped golden light blade to inflict sacred-attribute damage. After this slash is swung out, attack power obtains a massive boost, and swinging five swords can stack them, stacking up to a maximum of three layers."

After the three of them understood the situation, they all felt this spirit power talent was very good, and the effect of a thirty percent increase in attack attributes was also quite outstanding.

Six years old, rank thirteen—very good indeed.

"Very well, let's head back now."

The matter was concluded, so there was no need to continue lingering here; it was time to return to Spirit Hall and arrange other matters.

"Alright!"

Only, Su Yu did not let Qian Daoliu carry him back, instead wanting to try flying a distance by himself to experience the feeling of flight.

Qian Daoliu did not refuse either. Flying a distance to adapt to the martial soul was, after all, not a bad thing.

Su Yu's martial soul embodied, a pair of golden wings emerged, fluttering gently as he immediately flew up into the high skies.

At the very beginning, Su Yu indeed felt somewhat unaccustomed to it, but a moment later, he gradually mastered the techniques of flight.

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked on, laughing heartily.

"Big brother, this is much stronger than Xue'er and Qian Xunji were back then. The flight techniques comprehended are even faster."
