Attacking Their Home?

Seeing the Gale Falcon half-dead, Chen Mo's anger had mostly subsided.

He took the card Lin Yaodong had brought back out of his Martial Soul space, removed the falcon egg sealed inside it, and tossed it in front of the Gale Falcon.

The Gale Falcon grew agitated the moment it saw the egg and tried to struggle to its feet. But its injuries were too severe; it could only move a little and let out mournful cries.

Chen Mo sent a message through his spiritual sense: "Of your three eggs, only this one is alive. The other two were dead embryos. I infused their essence into the living one, and this egg will hatch within a day.

"You should be glad my brother didn't die. Otherwise, neither you nor your eggs would survive today.

"Treasure what little time you have left. It won't be long before my younger brother comes looking for you again. When he does, he'll take revenge with his own hands and slaughter you..."

With that, Chen Mo restored the damaged formations and left.

As for the Gale Falcon, if it died there, he could only say it had bad luck and that heaven had come to claim it.

If it survived, that was fine too. Chen Mo believed that under his training, Lin Yaodong would possess the combat strength of a Titled Douluo within a few years. Wouldn't it be better for him to kill his enemy with his own hands then?

Of its three eggs, one had been alive, but it hadn't been far from death. If Chen Mo hadn't infused it with the essence of the two dead embryos, it could never have hatched.

Chen Mo had originally intended this as a reward for the one conducting the assessment, but the falcon really shouldn't have beaten Lin Yaodong so badly right in front of him. Even if it had killed Lin Yaodong, Chen Mo wouldn't have been this furious.

To Chen Mo, family was what mattered most. He had long regarded Lin Yaodong as his younger brother. If someone laid a hand on his brother, Chen Mo didn't care who they were. One word: fight!

Time flew, and more than two years passed. Thanks to popping pills every day, Chen Mo had reached Mid Foundation Establishment in his immortal cultivation.

He had also reached Soul King in the Soul Master System, at level fifty-four, and that was without cultivating it himself.

Chen Mo had started body refinement long ago. Naturally, he had also taken the two immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. Unfortunately, they had little effect on his body refinement, merely increasing his affinity for and immunity to ice and fire somewhat.

They had also made him absorb Soul Power a little faster. Chen Mo had originally held out some hope that he might get a Martial Soul Evolution or something.

As it turned out, Chen Mo had been overthinking it. His Martial Soul was part of the system. Could a mere immortal herb improve it?

He could already count himself lucky to have gained these benefits. What more could he ask for?

Between his body's instinctive absorption and the Soul Power left over from the Experience Card, his Soul Power had risen naturally.

During that time, Chen Mo had also found time to kill a Two-Headed Space Snake of around forty thousand years. After gaining another Soul Ring, Chen Mo's spatial affinity had increased considerably, and he had now unlocked another spatial skill-Intangibility.

Its duration was a little short, however, lasting only two seconds, and it consumed an enormous amount of Soul Power or true essence. It was far less convenient than a Soul Bone Soul Skill.

As for body refinement, Chen Mo had been tempering his bones for quite some time. His arms could now exert a force of a million jin; he had even tried lifting a small mountain.

That was something he could do with his body alone. If he used Soul Power or true essence with it, that number could increase dozens of times over.

If he threw a punch with all his strength, factoring in force, acceleration, and energy, its attack power could probably reach an impulse of over a million tons.

Lin Yaodong had made considerable progress as well. Because he had devoted himself to cultivating his martial arts, his Soul Power Level had risen even more than Chen Mo's. He was now a level thirty-eight Soul Elder.

As for his Soul Ring, he had naturally obtained it himself, from a World-Purifying White Lotus over thirty thousand years old.

It had also given him an extraordinary Soul Skill-Purification.

Purification: Removes all negative statuses from the user and restores the user to peak condition. The white lotus also provides the user with a light shield that lasts three seconds. The light shield can withstand attacks; if its capacity is exceeded, it will disappear early. (Cooldown: five minutes. Can be used on the user and teammates simultaneously.)

This was an extraordinary skill because it could resolve the drawbacks of Lin Yaodong's second Soul Skill, Excitement.

Most importantly, it resolved Excitement's addictive nature.

When Chen Mo first learned that Lin Yaodong had gained such a skill and had pushed it beyond its limits seven times, he had sealed his second Soul Skill on the spot.

It was fortunate that Lin Yaodong had built a strong foundation early on and possessed exceptionally abundant vitality. Had it been any other Soul Master, even among Titled Douluo, few could have used it five times in succession.

Even if they were sucked dry and squeezed to death, they couldn't have done it.

It was precisely because of Lin Yaodong's third Soul Skill, Purification, that Chen Mo had unsealed his second Soul Skill, Excitement.

Even so, Chen Mo still warned Lin Yaodong never to use his second Soul Skill unless his life was in danger, and not to use it again within seven days.

After obtaining his third Soul Skill, Lin Yaodong had gone to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena for a fight. His opponent was a level sixty-eight Soul Emperor. It wasn't particularly easy, but at least it wasn't difficult; Lin Yaodong dealt with him after putting in a little effort.

Lin Yaodong's strength was now no weaker than that of an ordinary Soul Saint.

In a fight to the death, few Soul Saints could probably beat him. There was no helping it: Lin Yaodong's health bar was too thick, and he recovered health quickly too.

Haier City.

At this moment, Haier City was welcoming a group of uninvited guests.

A group of knights in fine equipment had arrived at the gates of Haier City.

There were over a hundred of them, and even the weakest was a Soul Elder. Their leader was a Soul Saint.

They all belonged to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's Imperial Guard Corps and were Soul Masters most loyal to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

The Soul Saint in the lead shouted, "Everything for the glory of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family..."

"Everything for the glory of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family..."

After that boost to morale, the Soul Saint in the lead began issuing orders. Once all the arrangements were complete, he spoke.

Soul Saint: "We must finish this quickly, and we absolutely must not harm the targets in the slightest. Does everyone understand?"

The knights shouted in unison, "Yes, Commander! We swear to complete the mission, even at the cost of our lives.

"Everything is for the glory of the empire..."

Inside Haier City, the Lin and Chen residences were as peaceful and tranquil as ever.

But today, that peace was likely to be broken.

The royal guards from Heaven Dou City had come for those two families.

After entering the city, the commander divided his forces. He went to the Lin residence himself, while his deputy led a group to the Chen residence.

The commander who went to the Lin residence quickly placed Lin Yaodong's family under guard. He did not harm them, however. Instead, he treated them politely and invited them into a carriage that had been prepared beforehand.

As for the Chen residence.

Father Chen, Chen He, and Mother Chen, Li Yan, were chatting about family matters as usual.

Li Yan said, "Sigh, I wonder how Momo and the other one are doing."

Chen He teased, "Are you worried about the older one or the younger one?"

Li Yan rolled her eyes. "I'm worried about both, but more about the younger one. A year ago, she said she'd made plans with her good sister to go out righting wrongs, punishing evil, and upholding good. She took Xiao Wu with her and slipped away after leaving a letter. She never gives us a moment's peace."

Chen He laughed. "What's there to worry about? Our eldest said Xiao Wu has the strength of a Soul Douluo. With a Soul Douluo accompanying her, what could happen to her? You should just worry less-"

But before he could finish, a group of uninvited guests burst in.
