• Bibi Dong’s Soul Power and deathly aura surged through the palace after Li Fei answered.

Bibi Dong questioned Li Fei about how Yu Xiaogang might overcome his cultivation limit, then let him leave after he proposed that Yu Xiaogang study other low-Innate-Soul-Power Soul Masters. Qian Renxue confided in Li Fei about her lonely childhood, and two months later he prepared for another Soul Arena match as his strength and her training progressed.

Li Fei trained Hu Liena and the other trainees with Qian Renxue’s help before leaving alone for the Star Dou Great Forest to find a suitable Spirit Ring. After a week of searching, he had found neither the Blue Silver King nor the Tree of Life, and his punch beneath a tree struck something hidden underground.
