Yu Longyue stood before the altar, his gaze sweeping over the Soul Bone before him.
My mood was inevitably a bit high.
After all, it was the fastest way to significantly improve his cultivation and combat power.
"Actually, our family is slightly weaker than the Qiangu Family."
Grandpa suddenly said.
"As far as I know, the Qiangu Family seems to possess a Divine Artifact..."
Yu Longyue paused for a moment, then nodded.
He was aware of that.
" Divine Artifact can greatly enhance a person's combat power, something our family doesn't possess. Therefore, in terms of raw strength, we would be at a significant disadvantage against the Qiangu Family. Our family only has the True Dragon Nine Crowns, which can barely put us at a disadvantage," Grandpa said slowly. "Cooperating with the Spirit Pagoda isn't entirely out of the question, but you must maintain a proper balance. Be extremely cautious in everything you do, and don't fall into any traps, understand?"
"Grandpa, I understand."
"Alright, you can absorb it here. I'll protect you."
It was a month later when Yu Longyue finished absorbing these Soul Bone.
She even celebrated her fifteenth birthday.
The Yu Longyue is now only three years away from becoming an adult.
After returning from his family and settling back into the Shrek Academy, he became a completely different person.
Gu Yue understands this best.
Having only grown to about 1.7 meters tall, she was a head shorter than Yu Longyue, which made her feel somewhat resentful and unwilling.
Moreover, he exudes a calm and mysterious aura, with deep eyes that seem to contain lightning and starlight, making it impossible to look directly at him, as if he can see into people's hearts at a glance.
His breathing was slow and deep, each exhale seemingly resonating with the heavens and earth, the surrounding air subtly trembling like a dragon's roar.
His clothes swayed gently in the wind, as if they were one with his temperament, revealing a carefree and detached air.
The surrounding space seemed to be distorted by his presence, giving people an elusive feeling, as if he did not fully exist in this world, but could transform into a bolt of lightning at any moment and travel through the void.
It's only been a little over a month since I last saw her, but she's changed so much that Gu Yue hardly recognizes her.
Especially after realizing his current cultivation level, even Gu Yue's expression changed slightly.
Where have you been? You've changed so much!
"I'm simply fulfilling the responsibilities I'll have to assume as the head of the family in the future." Yu Longyue's tense expression finally relaxed a bit when she faced Gu Yue.
"By the way, have you heard? The exchange activities between the Star Luo Continent are starting soon."
Gu Yue nodded. " Elder Cai announced it in class, Tang Wulin and the others are all going, so I'll pass."
"You're not going? If you're not going, I'm definitely going." Yu Longyue pouted. "It's such a rare opportunity to relax, of course I'm going."
On the Star Luo Continent, there exists Dragon Valley, the place where the Dragon Clan stores the Dragon God's Heart.
A faint intuition told him that he must go to that place and gain the approval of the Dragon God's Heart; this was his mission.
After careful consideration, Yu Longyue concluded that it was probably the Dragon God's inheritance she had obtained that was urging her to go and claim it.
Even if he couldn't obtain the Dragon God's Heart, Yu Longyue would accept it. He had another very important matter to attend to at Dragon Valley.
The Dragon Clan has been incredibly kind to him. Without Dragon Clan protection, the Dragon Clan God Level Martial Soul they bestowed upon him, and the Innate Level 20 Soul Power, he wouldn't be where he is today.
In return, Yu Longyue felt it was absolutely necessary to do what needed to be done.
Even if it wastes my cultivation time, it doesn't matter. With my talent and cultivation speed, I can catch up in no time.
Only three years.
Even if you let someone his age have three years, they still won't be able to beat him.
"You're going?" Gu Yue looked at him with some surprise, but after thinking about it, it still fit his image and motivation.
"Hmm, I'd like to travel to other parts of the mainland to relax. Why don't you come with me?"
"Good."
You're so good to me~
"... Actually, you're quite nice when you're serious, it's just a pity you have a voice that's prone to acting strangely."
"Let's snatch the bamboo shoots!"
"You're also participating in this Star Luo Continent exchange event?"
Cai Yue'er, who was lying on the chair, was so frightened that she immediately sat up and stared straight at Yu Longyue in front of her.
Yu Longyue shrugged. "Anyway, I've almost finished dealing with everything I needed to, and things have stabilized, so I'd like to go to the Star Luo Continent, just for a trip. By the way, Gu Yue is coming with me too."
"That's not the point. The most crucial thing is... once you leave Shrek City, the Holy Spirit Cult will have plenty of opportunities to assassinate you, you know that?" Cai Yue'er said with a headache. "Not to mention that you're leaving Douluo Continent this time. Once you're out of our protection, they might send Super Douluo, or even Limit Douluo, to assassinate you."
"So, am I going to hide in Shrek City for the rest of my life?"
Yu Longyue suddenly said.
"Should I act like a coward, hiding in Shrek City, afraid to go out, lest I be assassinated by the so-called Holy Spirit Cult?"
"Leaving aside whether I would do it, if I did, my mental state would be affected, and I might even develop a mental demon that would cripple my cultivation."
"Why should I, the future head of the prestigious Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, fear those cowardly Evil Soul Master?"
Yu Longyue managed a weak smile:
"Your Majesty, I cannot do it."
"If this is the price of becoming a God Level Martial Soul possessor, I am willing to bear it. I can die a heroic death like a warrior, but I will never live a cowardly life like a rat."
"This is my way."
"I understand." Cai Yue'er waved her hand. "I will report this matter to higher authorities. Just wait for the results."
"I can't guarantee they'll agree to let you go, you know that."
"Just convey my message, thank you very much, Your Majesty." Yu Longyue bowed slightly, then said, "Also, I am already Soul Saint."
Upon hearing this, Cai Yue'er's pupils contracted slightly, and her face showed shock.
How could a level Level 98 Super Douluo not see through Yu Longyue's cultivation level?
A fifteen-year-old Soul Saint!
The title of the greatest genius on the entire continent does not belong to him.
If Soul King could fight three Soul Douluo to the death without being at a disadvantage, then what about Soul Saint?
Cai Yue'er couldn't imagine...
"I will report the truth."
Before waiting for the results, Yu Longyue had one more thing to do.
He reorganized his own Inspection Corps and cracked down on Evil Soul Master.
He wanted revenge.
Damn it, you think you're safe now that you've done the assassination?
He wanted to bring out all the cockroaches hiding in the shadows and kill them one by one.
Therefore, Yu Longyue summoned everyone in the group to gather in the inner courtyard.
Yu Longyue stood on the training ground in the inner courtyard, his gaze sweeping over the members of the Inspection Corps in front of him.
Most of them were at least Soul King, and there was even one Soul Douluo.
Thinking of this, Yu Longyue gritted her teeth in anger.
If I could see a team like that in Eastsea City, I wouldn't have been so badly injured.
The mere mention of this matter caused Yu Longyue's fists to harden, and her expression grew even colder.
"Let me introduce myself, Yu Longyue. I believe you are all familiar with me and have heard quite a bit about me. Starting today, I will officially serve as the head of the Eastsea City Regional Inspection Corps."
"A new broom sweeps clean, and I'm telling you this: today I'm going to set off the first fire."
"Can anyone tell me why no one has gone to carry out the mission in Eastsea City?"
Upon hearing Yu Longyue's question, the members of the Inspection Corps exchanged glances, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat heavy.
They knew that the question Yu Longyue had asked was a responsibility they could not avoid.
"They all know they're in the wrong, but they don't even bother to defend themselves?"
Yu Longyue laughed in anger, nodded slightly, and his gaze turned cold and sharp as lightning as he swept over the members of the Inspection Corps in front of him. The next moment, his figure suddenly blurred, as if a bolt of lightning had ripped through the sky, so fast that it was impossible for anyone to catch it.
"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"
A series of crisp slaps rang out, and the members of the Inspection Corps felt a sharp pain on their cheeks, their vision blurred with stars.
They didn't even see Yu Longyue's movements before they were slapped.
Even the Soul Douluo standing at the very front was dumbfounded, feeling the pain on his cheek.
Wow, so fast!
Even someone at the Soul Douluo level like him was completely taken aback.
Indeed, a person's reputation is well-deserved.
Yu Longyue's figure became clear again; he stood in the same spot, as if he had never moved.
He was so fast that the members of the Inspection Corps present didn't even have time to react.
"This is the price you pay for your dereliction of duty. This time it's been lenient. If there's a next time..." Yu Longyue's voice was calm and cold, "You've all seen Huang Sanshao's fate."
The members of the Inspection Corps looked at each other, and then all turned to look at Yu Longyue.
"Please give instructions, Captain!"
Yu Longyue raised her index finger. "I only have one requirement, and it's very simple: absolute obedience to my orders. That's all. If you can't do that, you can get out now."
No one turned and left; everyone stared intently at him.
"Alright, since you've all chosen to stay, then do your jobs well. After each operation, I will reward you accordingly based on your performance; the more you work, the more you'll be rewarded."
"Don't worry, it's not money, fame, or status, it's just resources that can improve your cultivation. Whatever you want, I'll provide it, it's that simple."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Yu Longyue glanced at her phone and said calmly:
"Now, we have many operations waiting for us. It's time to deal with those Evil Soul Master. Can you do it?"
"Yes!" The crowd was incredibly excited.
"Set off."
