A New Martial Soul: Angel Holy Sword

"Alright, get up. Remember to protect your Martial Soul well. Don't reveal it in front of others lightly."

Lin Yue helped the girl to her feet, took out a bottle of Healing Potion from his belt, and poured it into her mouth.

As she felt the blood and wounds on her head rapidly healing, the girl revealed a look of surprise. Soon after, even greater admiration for her benefactor welled up in her heart.

Not only could he heal and evolve her Martial Soul, but he could also brew potions of this level. Her benefactor truly possessed heaven-defying talent!

"After entering the Nuoding City Spirit Hall branch, go find Deacon Su Yuntao. Tell him I referred you. But when Su Yuntao reports this upward, say that he discovered and recommended you himself."

"When you reach Spirit City, go straight to Qian Daoliu and display your Martial Soul before him. He should accept you as his disciple and devote himself to teaching you swordsmanship."

This could be considered arranging a growth path for his future maid. Lin Yue scratched his head, feeling that there should not be any problems.

Whenever he visited lately, Su Yuntao had pestered him with complaints about missing the opportunity to recommend a genius. Well, now he had made up for it with such a huge achievement.

Once the Angel Holy Sword Martial Soul was revealed before Qian Daoliu, a man whose swordsmanship surpassed this age and utterly crushed Chen Xin's father, even if he did not take Shen Zhaoran as a disciple, he would certainly cultivate her as a trusted confidant.

With Spirit Hall's resources, Lin Yue would no longer need to worry about the little girl's future growth.

"Alright, thank you, benefactor!"

Shen Zhaoran nodded firmly, her eyes filled with resolve.

In this life, she would surely make good use of the ability her benefactor had granted her and cut down all the wickedness in the world!

"Oh, right. Don't leave yet."

After rummaging through his storage belt, Lin Yue handed the girl three more bottles of different kinds of potions.

"Take all of these. Don't tell anyone where they came from, and don't reveal them to outsiders lightly."

As he spoke, Lin Yue looked through the potion bottles again and picked out two milky-white potions.

"Drink these two first. They can permanently raise your spiritual power and various resistances."

"Once you've settled down in Spirit Hall, contact me through other means or by letter. If you run into any difficulties, you can ask me too. At the very least, I can keep supplying you with potions."

As he spoke, Lin Yue stuffed all the potions into a Spatial Storage Soul Tool he had looted and handed it to the girl.

Wasn't being a bandit the fastest way to accumulate capital? After wiping out two local bully families, his little treasury had instantly filled up, and he had even gained several Spatial Storage Soul Tools.

"Alright, thank you, benefactor."

Her eyes shone like stars. Shen Zhaoran nodded repeatedly, gratefully accepting the Soul Tool, her face filled with gratitude and reverence for Lin Yue.

In the future, she would surely become someone as outstanding as her benefactor!

"Alright, stop calling me benefactor all the time. Just call me Lin Yue."

"Alright, goodbye, benefactor."

Watching the determined girl stride toward Spirit Hall, Lin Yue revealed a trace of melancholy.

He had not expected the Universal Amplifier to strengthen a Martial Soul to such an extent.

He wondered what kind of changes this small action of his would bring to Spirit Hall in the future...

"Forget it. Why think so much? I'll take things one step at a time."

Lin Yue had no particular feelings toward any of the factions on Douluo Continent. He was more like a lone drifter who cared only about his own strength. As long as no one provoked him, he would not hate or oppose them.

In a fantasy world, all external power was illusory. Only one's own transcendence was the sole truth.

Shaking his head to cast aside his wild thoughts, Lin Yue turned slightly and returned to the Shi Family estate.

At that moment, the area outside was still bustling with voices, everyone busy putting out the fire at the Zhuo Family.

Lin Yue, meanwhile, turned slightly. Before the guards could gather, he darted into the Shi Family treasury and began looting it thoroughly...

These two families seemed to make their living in Nuoding City through medicine and pharmaceuticals, so they had accumulated quite a few good things.

With these, he would no longer lack materials for refining medicine in the future...

"Knock, knock, knock. Knock, knock, knock."

"Who is it?"

Outside the Spirit Hall branch late at night, the heavy knocking made the night-duty deacon Su Yuntao somewhat displeased. Yawning, he walked toward the gate.

But when the door opened, the small figure before him, wrapped in bloodstained clothes, made his expression turn serious. He immediately crouched down and asked gently:

"Child, what happened? Are you hurt? What exactly happened here?"

"Are you Mister Su Yuntao?"

"Hm? That's me. You know me?"

Seeing that she knew him, a look of surprise appeared on Su Yuntao's face. Just as he was about to ask further, he noticed the girl slowly spread her right hand, and a longsword brimming with holy light gradually appeared.

Once he saw the holy sword's appearance clearly, Su Yuntao's pupils shrank sharply, and he turned around in horror.

The sword held by the Angel God statue in the main hall of the Spirit Hall branch was ninety percent similar to the sword in this girl's hand!

Every sacred mural bore the image of the holy sword in Lord Angel God's hand. Every single one was the same. There was no way he could be mistaken!!

"Th-this is?"

Angel Holy Sword? Her Martial Soul was actually the Angel Holy Sword? How was that possible?!!

Su Yuntao's pupils contracted violently, his breathing growing heavy. He could hardly believe what he was seeing!

Had the Angel God descended?! Could this be a divine miracle?!!

"Brother Lin Yue told me to come here. He told me to join Spirit Hall in your name and recommend me upward as someone you discovered."

"Hiss..."

Hearing this, Su Yuntao's entire body trembled, and tears surged uncontrollably from his eyes amid his extreme excitement.

Little Lin, he really was such a good person!!

"Child, don't panic. Let me test your Soul Power first."

Unable to care about anything else, Su Yuntao brought over a crystal ball and placed it before the girl.

Having already awakened her Martial Soul and knowing the process, Shen Zhaoran extended her hand.

But the instant her palm hovered over the crystal ball, a brilliant golden light exploded, shattering the crystal ball!

What was this?

The unprecedented sight made Su Yuntao's breathing stop.

She clearly had no Spirit Rings, yet she had shattered even the crystal ball used to measure Innate Full Soul Power. Such a situation was unheard of!!!

"Someone, hurry! Help this child clean up and examine her. Don't let her get hurt!"

Instantly rousing the entire Spirit Hall, Su Yuntao shouted and jumped around excitedly in the main hall.

He had discovered a genius! He had discovered a genius!!!

"Creak..."

When the sound of the door opening softly rang out late at night, Ah Yin immediately opened her eyes and looked toward the bedroom entrance.

There, a familiar figure slowly approached with a faint trace of moisture.

"Brother Lin?"

Although he seemed to have already washed up, the faint lingering scent of blood still alarmed Tang Yin in her worry. Her face filled with anxiety as she jumped down from the bed.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Having long since washed away the blood covering him, Lin Yue, who had exterminated all his enemies this time, smiled and patted the girl's forehead.

"I've already dealt with everything. I didn't leave behind any future trouble."

That night, in an instant, the Shi Family and Zhuo Family were destroyed.

The city guards investigated for two days and two nights but found no clues.

Or rather, they did not dare find any clues.

In one silent night, two families had been wiped out.

The Soul Elders who should have been present in both families had also been killed instantly, without even having time to call for aid.

Such strength indicated that the exterminator possessed at least the cultivation of a level-forty Soul Ancestor, perhaps even a Soul King above level fifty.

And the lord of all Nuoding City was merely a Soul Ancestor.

A Soul King killing two families that tyrannized the local area would not cause much of a stir. The city lord quickly settled the matter officially and stopped pursuing the murderer.

Only the other local bully families, feeling the sorrow of a rabbit dying and a fox grieving, became increasingly terrified.

Because only they knew what the Shi Family and Pei Family had been plotting these past few days.

They had joined forces against that boy from the medical clinic.

Yet the plan had only just begun to take shape, and in less than a few days, the two families most deeply involved had been completely annihilated.

"This is a warning to us, gentlemen."

During another joint meeting, the presiding old man's eyes were filled with terror as his hands gripped the pipe before him tightly.

"What should we do about this?"

"Are we just going to let it go?"

"If we don't let it go, are you going to handle it? Soul Elders were killed in an instant, without even a chance to sound the alarm, beg for mercy, or call for help. At least several Soul Ancestors struck together!"

"Enough, stop arguing."

With an ugly expression, the elder in the center took control once more and stopped the discussion.

"Listen, we still cannot allow that fellow to continue like this."

They had operated in this small corner of Nuoding City for many years. Now, on the surface, the Seven Treasure Merchant Association was competing with them, while that boy from the medical clinic was selling deadly potions at low prices and stealing their resources and customers.

In secret, there were also people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, or perhaps Soul Ancestors and even Soul Kings standing behind that boy.

"Actually, I did not wish to go this far. But since they are pressing us so relentlessly, in order for us to continue surviving and maintain our authority in Nuoding City, we can only do this!"

The old man slowly stood up and made the decision.

"I will seek outside assistance, but it will take one or two months to establish contact. Those who support me in seeking help from that lord may submit resources here and join the alliance."

"Once we defeat the Seven Treasure Merchant Association and even that damned boy, we can still rule this small corner of Nuoding City."

"As for those who refuse to join, don't blame this old man for being heartless. When that lord arrives, he will swallow you up along with them!"

Soon, sighs rose one after another in the meeting room, and figure after figure walked toward the old man.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

Since destroying those two foolish families, Lin Yue's life had immediately become much better.

There were no more troublemakers, no bothersome matters. Every day, he focused on cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, raising his cultivation from the level he had attained after obtaining his Spirit Ring to the peak of level fifteen, even faintly touching the threshold of level sixteen.

With Innate Full Soul Power and the help of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, reaching such a cultivation speed in two and a half months was undeniably fast progress.

However, perhaps due to Martial Soul Evolution, or perhaps because that Spirit Bone had taken effect, Ah Yin's growth during this time had also been incredibly rapid. She had already broken through to level seventeen. At this rate, she would need to prepare to hunt her second Spirit Ring in less than half a year.

"Not bad, not bad. Once I accumulate a bit more points, I'll be able to strengthen the Mysterious Heaven Skill in one go."

After suffering two consecutive failures last time, Lin Yue had learned his lesson. He planned to save enough points to amplify it continuously and achieve success in one go.

Thus, during this period, he had copied the Mysterious Heaven Skill by hand many times and stuffed the copies into his storage space, waiting to strengthen them all together.

Remaining points: 32268

"Very good. Even with only a thirty percent success rate, this is enough for six amplifications. I refuse to believe it can still fail."

Just as Lin Yue rolled up his sleeves and prepared to amplify it, a system notification suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding, warning. Diverging paths are triggering. The conflict between Tang Yin and Tang San is about to begin. Watch?]

Hiss... What? It was already time.

His expression turning serious, Lin Yue immediately put away his belongings and rushed straight toward Nuoding City Academy.
