Not having a Spirit Soul would become a problem eventually if a check was performed in the future and people found out he did not have a spirit soul. This would lead to the Federation suspecting that he had hunted and killed a real Soul Beast. The Federation had long enacted laws to prevent the hunting of soul beasts. It was an act of breaking the law.
With the protection of the Gold Silk Ape, he could at least explain that it had provided the Soul Skill for his third Soul Ring; that would resolve the issue. Furthermore, although the Gold Silk Ape was not an extremely powerful soul beast, with the Gold-eyed Leopard’s innate ability and Lan Xuanyu’s buff, the strength it would have would be reliable. Furthermore, the Gold Silk Ape had transmitted its thoughts to Lan Xuanyu that the reason for restarting again was so that it would have a different evolution due to its connection with Lan Xuanyu’s bloodline and even mentioned that this evolution would definitely be beneficial. To survive, it naturally told him everything it knew.
“Alright, go back to rest.” Lan Xuanyu transmitted his thought over, causing the Gold Silk Ape to rejoice. It transformed into a gold light and disappeared back into his chest. Although it was still weak now, who knew what help it could provide Lan Xuanyu in future battles?
Lan Xuanyu thought of a name in his heart. Simply put, he would use its other name: Gold Demon.
“Your Spirit Soul seems weak! But even so, our Spirit Souls are weak as well. But so long as they can provide suitable Soul Rings for us, they’ll do. When we head back, let us try our Soul Skills. I want to see the changes in my Soul Skills after improving the 1,000-year Soul Rings.” Qian Lei spoke excitedly.
What he was most excited about was that the Emerald Demon Bird had initiated returning to Replicate and becoming his second Soul Skill. If it was truly willing, it meant that his second Soul Skill would solidify into an Emerald Demon Bird Replicate. Everyone knew how strong the Emerald Demon Bird is, where even the majority of 1,000-year soul beasts would have difficulty running away from. With it around, Qian Lei’s strength could be said to have gone through a complete change. Even if he could not fight against Bing Tianliang, he was definitely not inferior to ordinary three-ring Soul Masters anymore.
“You guys are back?” The dorm room opened right at this time as Ji Hongbin entered.
The three looked at Teacher Ji as their happiness instantly disappeared.
“Let’s go; time is of the essence. The pressure will stir your power. Judging by the time you guys stayed in the Spirit Ascension Platform, it proves that you need to work harder…”
And with that, the sad dorm mates of dorm 333 spent their remaining days training…
Ji Hongbin’s special training only stopped the day before they were supposed to head to Shrek Academy.
The trio had been tortured to the point of becoming muddled headed for the next 20 days, with the first 10 days under the hellish pressure from the Devil King, followed by the thrilling experience in the Spirit Ascension Platform and returning back to the Devil King’s urgent oppression. When Lan Xuanyu and his teammates boarded the spaceship, they instantly fell into a deep sleep and even forgot how they had said goodbye to their parents.
Only four personnels from Heaven Luo Academy were headed to Shrek Academy: Ji Hongbin, Lan Xuanyu, Qian Lei, and Liu Feng.
Nine other teams that had performed well in the competition traveled together with them—including Bing Tianliang’s team.
Upon boarding the spacecraft, the depths of the different academies were immediately reflected. Only Heaven Luo Academy and Ling Tian Academy’s students sat in the second-class cabin. The other students, despite making it, sat in the ordinary berths.
The spaceship’s second-class cabins were not just seats, but every passenger was provided a single bed worth of space and was much more comfortable as compared to its ordinary passenger counterpart.
The spaceship took off smoothly and headed toward its destination. Ji Hongbin did not extend his seat out into a bed and simply sat there, listening to the deep breathing of his three students as his mind slowly wandered back to that place.
He had profound emotions attached to that place. If not for failing to enter the inner courtyard, he had hoped to have stayed there for his entire life without ever having to leave. The place was good, the place was beautiful, the place had her…
Lan Xuanyu was unaware of how long he slept, but as he finally woke up from the deep sleep, his mind stirred awake.
As though activated by his breathing, the gold and silver bloodline vortex in his chest started moving automatically. The terrifying Devil King’s pressure had its purpose; adding the experience from the Spirit Ascension Platform, Lan Xuanyu was able to sense that the power of his bloodlines had strengthened and even strangely restored his Soul Power to rank 21.
If daily cultivation could improve his Soul Power at such a speed, he felt that all his hardship and suffering would be worth it; however, he knew it was impossible. Ji Hongbin had mentioned before that the method of stimulating the potential through pressure could only be used once within a certain period. It was also something Shrek Academy had invented. They were bound to encounter it again in the future.
His only current hope was that the polishing would have its effect on their test and allow them to obtain placings in Shrek Academy.
They were finally heading back!
Lan Xuanyu did not know how long they had slept for. When he woke up, they were still in the spaceship.
The bed function in the second-class berth was not extremely spacious and was definitely not the most comfortable. But they could still lie down. Lan Xuanyu looked at the ceiling of the spaceship above him in a daze.
The recent training had been too painful in attempts of squeezing out their potential. Although they had large amounts of nourishing nutrients, it had taken a huge toll on the three. He was considerably well, but Qian Lei and Liu Feng’s breathing were extremely drawn-out. Obviously, they would not be able to wake up so soon.
Lan Xuanyu calmed his state of mind and truly absorbed all that he had learned, especially the gains and losses they had in the period.
Ever since he had gone to Heaven Dou Planet and improved his cultivation and gained his second Soul Ring, Lan Xuanyu could clearly feel that the various aspects of his abilities were strengthened by a large margin.
Firstly were his Soul Rings that had changed from 10-year to 100-year; it even became two. And there was the ability to control fire elements. In all his previous battles, he did his utmost and avoided using his control over fire elements, especially in using his ability to employ both ice and fire elements together. This was a trump card that he had left for the next test.
After gaining the second ring, his golden- and silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass had different changes in them. His Martial Soul Fusion technique had become his strongest trump card.
At the same time, after utilizing the Martial Soul Fusion technique with Dong Qianqiu twice, she became the only one capable of performing it with him. As for this, Lan Xuanyu had no idea why. It was either that Dong Qianqiu’s bloodline was strong enough and able to take on his Martial Soul Fusion technique or some other unknown reason.
I should find a chance to test it with Bing Tianliang in the future; he is stronger and his bloodline is not weak either. Who knows if we will be able to perform a Martial Soul Fusion technique. He had to look for multiple individuals to test his Martial Soul Fusion technique; in that case, his martial soul’s auxiliary ability would most definitely rise to a whole new level.
Lan Xuanyu discovered that although he would exhaust himself during the Martial Soul Fusion technique with Deep Blue Gaze, it had mainly taken up more of Dong Qianqiu’s strength. The Deep Blue Gaze had taken Dong Qianqiu in hand, but Lan Xuanyu still held the ability to fight. If he had the ability to utilize the Martial Soul Fusion technique with multiple people, it would be easier when fighting across ranks.
According to Teacher Yin, his experience with piloting a space warship was a considerable point even in Shrek Academy. With his foundation in space warship piloting, it had pried open the way for him to enter Space Command Faculty without much difficulty.
If not for him witnessing Young Noble Le’s ability to destroy warships with his own strength, Lan Xuanyu would have completely immersed himself in the Space Command Faculty. But now, he was extremely excited about his personal fighting strength as well.
If I truly enter Shrek Academy in the future, not only do I have to spend time on space warship piloting, I should also start learning about piloting mechas as well, right?
