Time ticked by, second after second. At last, Jiang Huai's absorption of his Second Soul Ring reached a critical point.
As that purple Soul Ring, as magnificent as an amethyst, fully merged into Jiang Huai's body,
a sound like shattering glass rang out from within him.
His Soul Power broke through the level 20 bottleneck in one leap, reaching level 23!
And the embryonic domain took shape at the very moment the Soul Ring settled into his second Soul Ring slot!
A peculiar halo suddenly burst outward!
Holy Light Domain!
When Jiang Huai learned the effects of his domain, he was utterly stunned!
Simply put, even though the light attribute of his White Tiger Martial Soul had yet to reach what would be called an Ultimate Attribute ten thousand years later,
while he was within the Holy Light Domain, his light-attribute power would receive an enormous boost, truly making him a wielder of an Ultimate Attribute!
And this domain had another rather bizarre effect.
Whether human or Soul Beast, anyone who spent a long time beneath his holy light would instinctively feel drawn to him.
If he elbowed them unconscious with his Ultimate Light, they would be won over by his radiant, towering figure!
For those with the same attribute, or one that was its complete opposite, this effect would be even stronger!
Holy freaking Pure and Clean Domain!
Qian Renxue: For some reason, I have a bad feeling about this.
As the Soul Power fluctuations around Jiang Huai gradually subsided, he opened his eyes. His gaze toward Bibi Dong and Zhu Zhuyun unconsciously took on a hint of purity and innocence.
"This feeling..."
Naturally, Jiang Huai would not tell Dongzi about those latter effects of his domain.
Otherwise, wouldn't he become a rebellious disciple lusting after his teacher?
If his Holy Tiger represented ultimate light, then what Martial Souls could rival Bibi Dong's two Spider Emperors in evil?
Thus, Jiang Huai merely explained that, with his domain activated, his Martial Soul's attribute should be comparable to the legendary Six-Winged Angel.
"Xiao Huai, what is your second Soul Skill, then?"
Bibi Dong hurriedly elbowed those somewhat dangerous thoughts out of her head.
She was a teacher who should set an example. How could she harbor such dangerous thoughts, like that beast Qian Xunji?
"Teacher, my second Soul Skill is called Holy Light Shuttle."
As its name suggested, this move instantly transformed Jiang Huai's body into light elements,
then made him appear anywhere within his line of sight.
It was somewhat similar to Xiao Wu's teleportation, making it quite a good lifesaving skill.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong slowly nodded.
She knew her beloved disciple would not disappoint her!
"A fine Soul Skill. In that case, Zhu Yun, we'll hunt for your Soul Ring next."
In a sense, the Soul Beasts the Hell Spirit Cat required were actually much the same as those needed by Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor.
Because of this, hunting a Soul Ring for Zhu Zhuyun went considerably faster than obtaining one for Jiang Huai.
After she finished absorbing a roughly two-thousand-year-old Netherworld Leopard's Soul Ring,
Zhu Zhuyun's Soul Power rose all the way to level 34, and the third Soul Skill she obtained was called Netherworld Slash.
"Xiao Huai, Zhu Yun, for a long time to come, the two of you should continue refining your coordination with your Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"If possible, Zhu Yun, help Xiao Huai develop his Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill as soon as possible, too."
"After we return this time, I'll be traveling far away. During that time, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo will be responsible for arranging your cultivation."
Bibi Dong had already decided what kind of Soul Beast would be most likely to drop a top-grade mental-type Head Soul Bone.
The Ice Silkworms of the Far North were certainly one option, but how difficult would it be for such feeble Soul Beasts to cultivate to a hundred thousand years?
Although the Soft Bone Rabbit clan also possessed excellent spiritual power, the hundred-thousand-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit she had hunted years ago had only dropped a left leg bone, which was unsuitable.
Thus, Bibi Dong decided that after returning, she would set about making a trip toward the sea.
According to the information recorded in Spirit Hall, the Mermaid Clan lived there.
And the outstanding members of the Mermaid Clan had reached the pinnacle of control over spiritual power.
When the time came, Bibi Dong merely needed to hunt a few more of them. Eventually, a hundred-thousand-year-old skull bone would drop.
"Don't worry, Teacher. I'll definitely reach level 30 quickly!"
Jiang Huai declared, patting his chest.
Meanwhile, let us turn our gaze back to the junior Soul Master Academy in Nuoding City.
Third Brother, who had absorbed his First Soul Ring and obtained the supreme Soul Skill Mother's Entanglement, did not know why,
but lately, he had always felt an emptiness in his heart,
as though something extremely important had left him for good.
This situation left Tang San feeling incredibly irritable.
Whether he was forging iron or cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill,
or helping his beloved little sister Xiao Wu buy those tender pink carrots,
he found it all utterly tasteless.
Yet even when he asked his knowledgeable teacher, the latter was equally at a loss.
Likewise, this sexy, flat-topped man also felt as though some extremely important opportunity had slipped away from him?
"Xiao San, you must understand that in the world of Soul Masters, strength reigns supreme. All schemes and plots are nothing but dry bones in a tomb."
"With me, the continent's foremost theoretical Grandmaster, guiding your cultivation, you will surely be able to stand at the very pinnacle of the Soul Master World in the future."
"And I've already planned the next place for you to cultivate."
"But before that, you must raise your Soul Power to the Soul Grandmaster level."
Seeing that he really could not get an answer, Tang San slowly nodded, then took his leave.
Having cultivated under Xiao Gang for so long, he had more or less figured out the twists and turns of the Douluo Continent's Soul Master World.
Nuoding Academy was ultimately nothing more than a junior Soul Master Academy. Presumably, he would not stay here much longer.
Tang San guessed that the next cultivation destination his teacher had mentioned might be an advanced Soul Master Academy.
He did feel some anticipation about that.
But after all this time, no matter what methods he tried, even rewarding himself at night, that feeling of irritation never disappeared.
Having lived two lives, Tang San would not believe that such an inexplicable feeling could arise without reason.
The sixth principle of the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
[Remain unchanged in expression even if Mount Tai collapses before you, and show no alarm even if the Yellow River bursts overhead! A true hidden weapon master keeps a cool head at all times!]
No matter who you are, if you've stolen an opportunity that belongs to me, then you have already courted death!
