Qin Fang sucked in a cold breath. A time-type Martial Soul really existed?

Long Xiaoyao fell into reminiscence and said, "Qin Fang, I can't teach you much more about Time Stop. You can only explore it on your own."

Qin Fang nodded, half-understanding. He closed the vertical eye and withdrew from that strange state.

In an instant, Qin Fang staggered, feeling utterly weak. Only upon looking inward did he discover that the lake-like Soul Power in his Dantian had been completely drained. Even his Spiritual Sea had run dry.

Ah, activating an External Soul Bone consumed that much Soul Power? The whole process had seemed to take less than ten seconds.

Noticing Qin Fang's condition, Long Xiaoyao explained, "Do you think time is so easy to control? Based on a rough estimate of your condition just now, you can remain in Time Stop for at most fifteen seconds. That's your limit."

Qin Fang nodded. Once both his Soul Power and Spiritual Power recovered, he would test it again.

After speaking, Long Xiaoyao brought Qin Fang back to the Underground Palace and tossed him into the Gravity Cultivation Room, activating double gravity. With a smack, Qin Fang immediately dropped to one knee, as though carrying a mountain on his back. The bones throughout his body crackled without end.

Long Xiaoyao said, "Qin Fang, although the Undead Skeleton Monarch pushed your Soul Power to Level 34, it's far too unstable. You need to temper it properly."

Qin Fang understood and began his cultivation journey.

Long Xiaoyao hurriedly sought out Ye Xishui and told her about Qin Fang's situation: a 50,000-Year soul beast willingly becoming a Soul Ring, a 50,000-Year External Soul Bone, and so on.

Ye Xishui stopped what she was doing. After hearing everything, she could not help but sigh. "Qin Fang, I'm beginning to wonder whether he's a Child of Destiny."

Long Xiaoyao had the same suspicion. Honestly, that brat's luck was a little too good.

Ye Xishui said, "Once Qin Fang's Soul Elder realm stabilizes, send him to enroll at Sun Moon Royal Empire Academy. That boy needs to be tempered by the world. Also, throw a few of the Holy Spirit Cult's disappointing disciples into Sun Moon Royal Empire Academy as well. Let Qin Fang spend some time around them."

After thinking it over, Long Xiaoyao said, "Xi Shui, the most beautiful flowers cannot bloom in a greenhouse. I suggest letting Qin Fang hunt his Fourth Soul Ring himself and experience the process."

Ye Xishui had been about to refute him, but she nodded instead. "Mm, you're right. Come, take a look at this plan of mine. Do you think it's feasible?"

The moment Long Xiaoyao saw it, he cried out, "Isn't this plan of yours a little too risky? Ultimate Ice will definitely freeze the Undead Aura to pieces."

Ye Xishui said, "How will we know the result without trying?"

Looking at Ye Xishui's determined face, Long Xiaoyao said, "Mm. I'll help you."

The two Limit Douluo began their research on the Snow Empress.

The next day.

Qin Fang's Soul Power and Spiritual Power were fully restored, and he began testing the vertical-eye External Soul Bone on his forehead.

This ultimate calmness and ultimate rationality, this utterly undisturbed perception of everything outside, seemed not to consume either Soul Power or Spiritual Power.

However, once he activated Time Stop, Qin Fang could feel the Soul Power and Spiritual Power within his body rapidly draining away.

Only then did Qin Fang finally understand the abilities of this External Soul Bone.

Passive Soul Skill: As long as he opened the vertical eye on his forehead, he would automatically enter a state of Absolute Calm, and everything before him would turn grayish-white and purple.

Active Soul Skill: Time Stop—it could speed up or slow down his own flow of time.

Qin Fang began to ponder what he could do in this state. Right, that was it—the core patterns of Soul Tools.

To be honest, what Qin Fang feared most while engraving was outside interference. Even the faintest sound could affect the finished product.

Qin Fang quickly took out a piece of pure Soul Tool core material and began engraving it. With the vertical-eye Soul Bone activated, his vision became a field of grayish white. Immersing himself in engraving the patterns, he unknowingly broke through his limit and overlapped seven miniature Soul Tool Patterns.

Although he was still short of Ye Xishui's target of overlapping nine Soul Tool Patterns, he was already close to success.

The seventh day.

The thirtieth day.

During this period, Qin Fang spent every day in the Gravity Cultivation Room, tempering his Soul Power and becoming familiar with the powerful strength in his body.

Rather than increasing, his Soul Power cultivation had actually dropped by one level, becoming Level 33. However, it had become incomparably solid, no longer like duckweed without roots.

Early in the morning, Qin Fang packed up his belongings. With misty eyes and tears hanging from them, he bade farewell to Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui. "Sister Ye, Grandpa Long, I'm leaving now."

Over these past six months, he had truly gained far too much.

Ye Xishui looked at Qin Fang, stroked his hair, and solemnly instructed, "Qin Fang, young tigers must always see blood."

As the Saint Son of the Holy Spirit Cult, Qin Fang was destined to face challenges. There was no avoiding them.

Long Xiaoyao could not stand such scenes and teased, "Qin Fang, why are you crying like this? You don't plan on coming back? We'll be waiting for you."

Crying and laughing at the same time, Qin Fang left.

Sun Moon Royal Empire Academy would not begin classes for another three days.

After leaving the Underground Palace, Qin Fang used the Gold Soul Coins Grandpa Long had given him to rent a Soul Tool vehicle and head toward Sea Tide Village.

He had not seen the village chief grandpa for a whole year, and he truly missed him. There were also the other children in the village. He had not teased them in a year, so he wondered how they were doing. Sea Tide Village.

Qin Fang looked fondly at everything before him and walked toward the village chief grandpa's home with a smile on his lips.

Along the way, Qin Fang spotted Little Fatty—Huang Fei. He was helping his family dry grain, looking extremely focused.

Qin Fang quietly approached, gathered Soul Power on tiptoe, and let out a tiger's roar beside his ear.

Little Fatty was startled stiff and leapt three feet into the air. When he saw that it was Qin Fang, he immediately exclaimed in delight, "Big Brother Qin Fang, it's you! You're back!"

Although Qin Fang's appearance had changed, Little Fatty recognized him at a glance.

Qin Fang hugged Little Fatty and said, "Hehe, kid, you've got sharp eyes."

Little Fatty smiled sincerely. "Hehe, in the whole village, you're the only one this bored, Big Brother Qin Fang."

Qin Fang was speechless. There was no way to respond to that.

Qin Fang could only turn toward Huang Fei's parents and greet them with a smile. "Uncle Huang, Aunt Huang, I'll help you."

Seeing Qin Fang about to get to work, Little Fatty's parents hurriedly refused. "Qin boy, it's barely any work. Go play with Little Fatty."

Little Fatty was thrilled. He immediately took off his work clothes, his eyes shining as he grabbed Qin Fang and dragged him off to find the other children.

As they ran, Little Fatty asked, "Big Brother Qin Fang, everyone in the village says you went to Mingdu to study. Is that true?"

Qin Fang said exaggeratedly, "Hehe, I have Innate Full Soul Power, after all. Jealous?"

Perhaps only in Sea Tide Village could Qin Fang truly be a child.

Envy appeared in Little Fatty's eyes. "Big Brother Qin Fang, you're amazing. Unlike us, who can only study in town. Oh, Big Brother Qin Fang, have you added your First Soul Ring yet? Can you show me?"

Qin Fang examined Huang Fei's strength. He had barely reached Level 5 and was still some distance away from becoming a true Soul Master.
