Absorbing the Second Soul Ring, the Day of the Battle That Will Decide Qian Renxue's Return Has Arrived! Please Keep Reading

"Tch, that was easy~" Guang Ling said with a smug look.

Then he said to Guang Yu, "All right, go on, Little Yu Yu."

"Mm."

Guang Yu strode forward and swung his sword down.

Splat~

He then sat cross-legged.

He began absorbing the soul ring.

The moment that purple thousand-year soul ring merged into his body, it unleashed an immense amount of energy.

It also dealt a certain amount of impact to his body.

Guang Yu quickly adapted to the force and began rapidly absorbing the energy within it.

His Soul Power also began breaking through at a rapid pace!

Level 21!

Level 22!

Level 23!

Bang!

The final wave of Soul Power spread outward.

Level 24!

Guang Yu's Soul Power had leapt all the way to level 24!

"Little Yu Yu's Soul Power actually jumped another four levels in one go. Why does leveling up seem like child's play for him?"

Although Guang Ling had anticipated that Guang Yu might break through several levels in succession, seeing him reach level 24 still left him somewhat shocked.

After all, it had only been nearly four months since Guang Yu Awakened his Martial Soul at Innate Soul Power level 10.

He had risen a full fourteen levels in just four short months!

What kind of insane speed was that?

Who would believe it if it got out?

Yet this also allowed Guang Ling Douluo to see an endless future in Guang Yu. "On this continent, only the Six-winged Angel clan has ever reached the Soul Grandmaster realm before the age of seven. Even the Qian clan only managed it because their Innate Soul Power starts at level 20."

"And Little Yu Yu..."

"I truly am growing more and more eager to see what height he will ultimately reach. Will he step into the same realm as the Great Enshrined, the pinnacle of mortals at level 99?"

"Still, at least one thing is certain. Little Yu Yu will definitely be an unparalleled genius of this era!"

Guang Ling Douluo's heart was filled with longing as he envisioned it.

At this moment, Guang Yu finally finished absorbing the soul ring and slowly opened his eyes. Fairly satisfied, he said, "Not bad. A four-level increase will do."

"So, what is your Second Soul Skill?"

Guang Yu smiled. "Granduncle, my Second Soul Skill is called Aurora Sword Body. It's a self-enhancement buff skill. My strength, speed, defense, physical body, and five senses are all increased by one hundred percent, while the power of my Light Attribute increases by fifty percent."

"Not bad, Little Yu Yu! Self-enhancement buff skills are practically essential for assault-type soul masters. As your realm rises, the effects they bring will become more and more pronounced."

"Even at the Title Douluo realm, buff skills are still extremely useful!" Guang Ling said happily.

"Mm."

Guang Yu naturally understood the importance of self-enhancement buff skills.

Guang Ling speculated, "With your current strength, you should be more than capable of easily crushing Soul Elders. Even low-level Soul Ancestors probably won't be your match."

"In other words, you now possess the strength to kill a five-thousand-year soul beast."

"However, Little Yu Yu, don't celebrate too soon. After a decision by us Seven Great High Priests, the five-thousand-year soul beast chosen for you to defeat is no weakling."

With a serious expression, Guang Ling continued, "If you want Young Master Qian Renxue to return, you'll still need to train desperately over the next three months."

"Oh?"

Guang Yu's expression gradually turned grave upon hearing this.

He had a feeling that the target he needed to defeat might be a predatory soul beast, something like a tiger, lion, bear, leopard, or wolf.

In the world of soul beasts, cultivation was not the sole measure of strength.

Just like human soul masters of the same realm could vary in strength because different Martial Souls possessed vastly different levels of power.

Soul beasts were the same. Different species had different combat abilities.

The stronger a soul beast's bloodline, the more formidable it was!

For example, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a soul beast with a top-tier bloodline, could stand against Hundred Thousand Year Level Titan Giant Apes and Sky Azure Bull Pythons at only sixty thousand years of cultivation.

Meanwhile, ferocious beasts such as tigers, bears, and lions were generally stronger as well.

Guang Yu could not help asking, "Then what kind of soul beast is my target?"

"That's confidential. I can't tell you~" Guang Ling shook his head.

"All right, I understand."

Guang Yu asked no further questions, but his mind continued turning. There are only three months left until my half-year agreement with the Seven Great High Priests. For me now, even gaining another one or two levels of Soul Power won't increase my strength by much.

Then I can only continue improving my swordsmanship and archery.

And gain more experience fighting soul beasts.

Guang Yu quickly formulated his training plan and countermeasures for the coming days. Grinning, he said, "Granduncle, didn't you say that once I completed the three archery trainings, you would teach me more advanced archery techniques?"

"Can we start now?"

"Learn them here?"

"Mm-hmm. Let's not go back yet. For the next three months, I want to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest and gain more experience fighting soul beasts," Guang Yu said.

"You really have everything planned out perfectly, don't you, brat?"

"Fine! Then let's begin!"

For some reason, Guang Ling's fighting spirit was ignited as well.

Without holding anything back, he taught Guang Yu everything he had learned in his life that Guang Yu could currently master.

They were granduncle and grandnephew, yet also like master and disciple!

Within the Star Dou Great Forest, Guang Yu began another three months of training!

Time flew by!

More than twenty days later!

The day that would determine whether Qian Renxue would abandon her infiltration plan and return to Pope's Palace for battle had finally arrived.

At that moment, atop a mountain in the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Guang Yu stood at the edge of a cliff. The breeze gently stirred the hem of his clothes, and though his figure looked somewhat weary, his eyes were filled with unyielding determination. "After half a year, this day has finally come."

"It's time for me to fulfill my promise."

"Qian Renxue, I'll bring you back."

Over these twenty-odd days in the Star Dou Great Forest, Guang Yu had mastered many more archery techniques.

Such as Penetrating Arrow.

Explosive Arrow.

As well as Refracting Arrow, Multi-Arrow, Splitting Arrow, and more.

All of them could play a tremendous role in actual combat. If he wanted to further improve his mastery of archery afterward, he would need to learn archery ultimate techniques.

Indeed, Guang Ling Douluo had several unique archery skills of his own creation.

However, because Guang Yu's realm was still too low, he had not taught them to him yet.

Behind Guang Yu stood a large tree.

Guang Ling sat on a branch, swinging his little legs as he played with an arrow in his hand. "Little Yu Yu, the day after tomorrow is the day of your decisive battle with us Seven Great High Priests, the end of your half-year agreement."

"Shouldn't we head back?"

"Mm! Let's return to Spirit City."

"Then let's go!"

The two of them spread their Ice Wings at the same time and flew down from the cliff.

Then they headed back to Spirit City.

Guang Yu's opponent was in Spirit Hall's Hunting Ground, supposedly captured only half a month ago.

Therefore, the location of his battle would be the Hunting Ground.

Two days later!

Guang Yu brought himself to peak condition before entering the Hunting Ground alone.

At that moment, within a circular arena resembling a coliseum.

The Seven Great High Priests had already gathered on the viewing platform.

Guang Yu entered the circular arena through the passage below. Slowly raising his head, he looked toward the Seven Great High Priests standing on the platform above.

Their gazes also converged on him.

"Guang Yu, the half-year deadline has arrived."
