The Three-Thousand-Nine-Hundred-Ninety-Nine-Year Light Flying Eagle

Qian Renxue slowly rose to her feet, excitement and elation on her face.

She had really succeeded.

She hadn't let her brother down!

"Brother, Grandpa, Xiao Xue did it~"

Qian Renxue rushed forward, waving her arms and legs, and threw them around Qian Nuo.

Her fragrant scent wafted straight into Qian Nuo's nose.

But he had long since grown used to it, so he didn't feel much.

Then she turned and gave her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, a great big hug.

"My Xiao Xue is the best! Xiao Xue, you've become the first person in history to break the limit on a Soul Master's First Soul Ring absorption!"

"But this news must be kept under wraps. It can't be made public, at least not until you've grown stronger."

Qian Daoliu smiled gently and picked her up.

There were too many eyes and ears in this world, after all. It was better to be careful.

If people found out that Spirit Hall had someone so outstanding, they might send someone to assassinate her.

Although he wasn't afraid, he still had to guard against the possibility.

Qian Nuo put his hands in his pockets and stored the Light Tiger's corpse in his Soul Tool ring.

The corpse of this thousand-year Soul Beast contained a great deal of energy and could be taken back and eaten as food.

It would be a great help to a Soul Master's cultivation.

"Even if it gets out, it's fine. I'll protect Silly Xue."

"With me here, no one in this world can hurt her."

"Besides, even if it gets out, other people won't know why she could absorb a thousand-year ring as her first. They'll certainly think it's because of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, not attribute it to the strength of a Soul Master's body."

Qian Nuo walked ahead, searching for a second Thousand-Year Soul Ring for Qian Renxue, still talking as he went.

"True. People don't know that strengthening the body can raise the limit on a Soul Master's Soul Ring absorption."

"We must keep this knowledge in our own hands. It's enough for us to know it ourselves; it shouldn't even be recorded in books."

Qian Daoliu followed, holding Qian Renxue's little hand, and nodded in agreement when he heard this.

Qian Nuo said mildly, "It's precisely because you think like this that this continent will always remain low-level. There's no need to keep this method secret forever. It can be made public after Qian Renxue becomes a god."

"Even if it's made public now, it doesn't matter."

"The stronger people are, the more fun it is!"

"No matter how strong you become in the future, I will be the one and only strongest, most invincible person!"

Qian Nuo raised his right hand and slowly clenched it, his eyes brimming with confidence.

"Brother, you're so domineering~~"

Qian Renxue waved her little fists and cheered him on.

Qian Daoliu chose to remain silent, because he believed it too.

Qian Nuo had given him a thorough beating right after awakening his Martial Soul.

Once Qian Nuo added his first Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, his power would be even more terrifying.

Soon, the three continued onward and entered the middle region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Thousand-year Soul Beasts were everywhere here, and ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts also roamed the area.

Qian Daoliu asked, "Qian Nuo, how many thousand years old a Soul Ring do you plan to give Xue'er for her Second Soul Ring?"

"Around three thousand years."

Qian Nuo unleashed his powerful spiritual power, sweeping it across this area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

A month of training had already greatly improved Qian Renxue's physical condition, and now that she had absorbed her first Thousand-Year Soul Ring, her physical condition would directly double!

So there was no problem at all with Qian Renxue absorbing a three-thousand-year Soul Ring as her second now.

This range was also acceptable to Qian Daoliu.

"Are the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul's Soul Skills fixed?" Qian Nuo asked at that moment.

Qian Renxue said, "Brother, Xiao Xue's first Soul Skill is called Angel Assault!"

Qian Daoliu nodded. "That's right. The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul's Soul Skills are all fixed. Absorbing different Soul Beasts won't grant different Soul Skills, because the Six-Winged Angel's Soul Skills are the strongest and most suited to it!"

"I see."

Before long, Qian Nuo found a Light Flying Eagle with the light attribute.

The next second, his figure vanished from where he stood.

Flying happily and comfortably through one enormous, leafy tree after another, the Light Flying Eagle was enjoying yet another comfortable day.

It flew high in the sky, crying out as it looked down with the eyes of a superior at the Soul Beasts below that could only walk on land and couldn't fly freely. In its eyes, those Soul Beasts were all beneath it.

Flight was the supreme essence of freedom!

But just as it rejoiced and cried out, picking up speed, its keen senses as a three-thousand-nine-hundred-ninety-nine-year Soul Beast told it that danger was coming for it up ahead.

It abruptly opened its eyes and looked forward.

Its pupils suddenly contracted, and its expression changed drastically.

A short-haired human youth dressed in black was hovering in the air, looking at it indifferently.

The youth gave off an extremely dangerous feeling.

It reacted at once. With a flap of its wings, a rain of light blades appeared and shot toward the human youth ahead.

Even ordinary Soul Masters would not dare take a blow from a three-thousand-nine-hundred-ninety-nine-year Soul Beast head-on.

But it had run into our King of Curses, the King of Evil's heir, Qian Nuo!

"Little bird, my foolish little sister needs a Soul Ring. Sorry for the trouble, but come along with yourself and sacrifice yourself."

"You even dared to attack me. You've got some nerve."

"But unfortunately for you, your attack is utterly feeble as far as I'm concerned."

Qian Nuo's wicked voice rang out. The next second, a mass of black Qi appeared around him, forming a giant black hand that reached straight for the incoming blades of light.

Boom!!!

The enormous black hand clenched lightly, easily crushing the blades of light.

The blades of light struck the black hand like a block of tofu thrown against a rock, without making the slightest ripple.

The Light Flying Eagle's expression changed drastically, and it immediately beat its wings, trying to escape.

Its instincts told it that it was no match for the human before it. If it kept fighting, it would most likely be destroyed.

"Trying to run? Prey I've set my sights on never has a chance to escape."

As soon as Qian Nuo finished speaking, the giant black hand that had obliterated the attack rushed forward.

It seized the Light Flying Eagle in a crushing grip as it turned to flee.

Then his body flashed, and he appeared in front of Qian Renxue.

He placed the Light Flying Eagle in his hand on the ground and slapped it unconscious.

Qian Renxue picked up the knife in her hand and once again plunged it into the flying eagle's neck.

Puchi!

Blood splattered, and after its whole body convulsed, the Light Flying Eagle went completely still.

It couldn't have been more dead.

A purple Soul Ring, darker than the Light Tiger's Soul Ring from earlier, floated out.

Qian Renxue summoned her Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel, and a purple Soul Ring floated around her.

It was particularly eye-catching.

Then she sat cross-legged, guided the Soul Ring into her body, and began using the Six-Winged Angel to refine it.

Soon, her body showed a stress response.

It turned red, smoke rose from it, and her muscles grew larger.

But after a minute, the effects gradually disappeared.

Qian Renxue's absorption process also began to reach completion.
