"Huh?" Dugu Yan was taken aback.
She had thought Yu Tianheng had called her over to discuss team tactics, but she never expected him to bring her something.
However, this behavior made Dugu Yan very happy.
What's in this box?
"Why don't we just open it and see?" Yu Tianheng said.
Dugu Yan reached out and opened the box.
In an instant, an inextinguishable flame seemed to ignite in the pavilion—a diamond necklace named " Crimson Flame Heart " lay quietly within it, its main diamond as dazzling as a pigeon's blood ruby, surrounded by smaller diamonds like dancing flames.
"Yesterday at the auction, when I saw its name, all I could think of was your fiery fighting spirit," Yu Tianheng said in a low voice, with a hint of barely perceptible tension. "This necklace is like you—dazzling, passionate, and unique."
Dugu Yan's pupils widened suddenly, her fingertips hovering in mid-air, hesitant to touch. "This is too..." Her voice suddenly became very soft, as if her tongue had been burned by the brilliance of a diamond. Her eyes warmed slightly, recalling how Yu Tianheng's usually cold and stern features were now filled with tenderness, and her heart suddenly began to pound uncontrollably.
"This must be very expensive, right?" After a moment of silence, Dugu Yan asked softly.
Yu Tianheng waved his hand. "It's not expensive, only a few hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin." As he spoke, Yu Tianheng gently lifted the necklace and put it on her. The moment the cool metal and the blazing diamonds touched her skin, Dugu Yan trembled all over.
Yu Tianheng's voice lingered in his ear. "In my heart, you are far more precious than this ' Crimson Flame Heart '."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's heart skipped a beat once more.
Is over 100,000 Gold Soul Coin still expensive?
This is ridiculously expensive.
If someone else gave her such a gift, she would refuse it without hesitation, but if it was from Yu Tianheng, she could accept it.
After all, Yu Tianheng was already her fiancé, so there was nothing wrong with accepting a gift from her fiancé.
So Dugu Yan graciously accepted the gift.
Moreover, no woman dislikes jewelry.
Dugu Yan was no exception.
At this moment, her heart was filled with warmth, and the resentment she had felt earlier because Yu Tianheng had neglected her while busy cultivating vanished instantly.
"By the way, I plan to go out for some training during this period to improve my cultivation. I'll leave the Imperial Fighting Team in your care," Yu Tianheng said.
Having accepted the gift, Dugu Yan had no reason to refuse. She waved her hand, "Go ahead, be careful, I'll wait for you here."
"Okay!" Having received the consent, Yu Tianheng immediately packed his things and prepared to leave.
The next morning, after packing his belongings, Yu Tianheng set out on his training journey.
The main purpose of this trip is to improve my Martial Dao skills.
As for Martial Soul cultivation, he set it aside and didn't concern himself with it. It wasn't that he didn't want to cultivate, but rather that he couldn't. Otherwise, his strength would increase too quickly, and he wouldn't even need to fight in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament two years later. He could sweep the entire field by himself.
If I remember correctly, two years later, at the All-Continent High-Level Soul Master, the students of the Spirit Hall Academy were all exceptionally talented individuals handpicked by the Spirit Hall from every corner of the Douluo Continent.
The team's Golden Generation — Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena —are exceptionally talented and possess extraordinary strength. Xie Yue and Yan have Soul Power level of 52, while Hu Liena is at level 51, all reaching the Soul King level. Among all the participating students, their level advantage is significant.
The team not only has these three Soul King in charge, but all the other members also have Soul Power exceeding level 45, and there are also two Power Attack System Soul Ancestor who are only one step away from becoming Soul King.
Even the team's only Auxiliary System member possesses a top-tier Auxiliary System Martial Soul Martial Soul to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda — the Volcano Golden Scepter —which can provide powerful support buffs to teammates and significantly enhance the team's overall combat power.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Martial Soul Fusion Skill " Demon Charm " is even more incredibly powerful.
When activated, this technique can instantly unleash powerful control, reducing the opponent's senses, Soul Power, and actions by fifty percent.
In the original storyline, during the battle against the Imperial Fighting Team, the Imperial Fighting Team was almost powerless to fight back once " Demon Charm " appeared, which shows how terrifying she is.
This Martial Soul Fusion Skill gives the Spirit Hall Academy an absolute advantage when facing opponents of the same level, and it is even enough to contend with a level 60 Soul Emperor.
In terms of tactical coordination, the students of the Spirit Hall Academy have developed excellent teamwork through long-term special training and practice.
They excel at using team tactics, fully leveraging the unique Martial Soul and strengths of each member, and their offensive and defensive transitions are fluid and seamless.
Whether it was a strong offensive push or a defensive counter-attack, the execution was outstanding, making it difficult for the opponent to find any weaknesses.
It's fair to say that if they hadn't encountered the Shrek Team, which was practically an overpowered protagonist group, the Spirit Hall Academy Team would have been a shoo-in for the championship.
But in the face of absolute power, it's still not enough.
It can be said that as long as Yu Tianheng's Soul Power Level reaches level 55 or above, even without using Martial Dao, he can sweep through the Spirit Hall Academy Team single-handedly with his own Martial Soul and various Soul Skill.
Even if the opponent uses Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they are powerless to resist.
Yu Tianheng's Soul Power Level has now reached level 53, so there's no need to spend too much time on it; he just needs to try not to break through level 60.
Therefore, the focus of this training trip should be on Martial Dao practice.
He is now at the Innate Realm Second Stage, which is equivalent to a level 62 Soul Emperor if converted to Soul Master levels, but his true combat strength is definitely more than that.
However, to be honest, this level of strength is nothing compared to the rest of the continent; there are many, many stronger powers.
In the later stages of the Three Kingdoms period, during the chaotic wars, even Titled Douluo could not protect themselves and died easily.
Not to mention the Soul Master below the Titled Douluo level, where a single death would result in the deaths of countless others.
Therefore, improving one's own strength is the top priority.
After that, Yu Tianheng went into hiding and began to train in various provinces of the Heaven Dou Empire.
In the northern border of the Heaven Dou Empire, Yu Tianheng discovered an ancient ruin after killing an Ice Soul Wolf with 30,000 years of cultivation.
The ruins were rich in spiritual energy, so he decided to go into seclusion there for three months. When he emerged, the lightning around him had condensed into chains, and his cultivation had broken through to the Innate Realm Fourth Stage.
Afterwards, Yu Tianheng traveled to various places and fought bloody battles with powerful Soul Beast. Relying on this pressure, Yu Tianheng's Martial Dao cultivation continued to rise.
After six months of training, Yu Tianheng's cultivation reached the Innate Realm Sixth Stage.
Later, Yu Tianheng entered the core of the Star Dou Great Forest.
He used the cultivation pills he redeemed from the System Shop, combined with the essence of the spring water in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, to break through the seventh and eighth levels of the Innate Realm one after another.
They encountered a Lava Earth Dragon with 50,000 years of cultivation in a volcano and fought a great battle with it.
