Originally, Yue Guan had been worried that if Yan absorbed that hundred-thousand-year spirit bone without Bibi Dong's knowledge, it might cause her displeasure.
But they had then discovered the traces of two hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts, along with Xiao Wu's whereabouts.
Such an important discovery was exactly what Bibi Dong desired, and perhaps because of that, she wouldn't mind so much that Yan had absorbed the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone.
After all, Yan was the most outstanding among the young Spirit Hall spirit masters and would surely be heavily relied upon in the future.
Moreover, although the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound had reached the hundred-thousand-year level, it was of the fire attribute, and it had been slain by the two of them working together. It hadn't caused Spirit Hall any losses.
The two quickly flew out of the Star Dou Forest's core region and arrived at a flat area on the forest's outskirts.
Absorbing the spirit bone here would be much safer.
Yue Guan said:
"Yan, absorb the spirit bone here."
"Alright."
Yan then sat down and began to absorb the left leg spirit bone.
As the blazing energy poured in, Yan felt his body undergoing constant transformation. Every inch of his skin and every drop of blood was boiling, as if trying to break free from its shackles.
It took only one hour for Yan to completely absorb the spirit bone.
When he opened his eyes again, the look in them had already changed completely.
It was a look of confidence born from his own strength.
Seeing the change in Yan, a look of anticipation and gratification appeared on Yue Guan's face.
He stepped forward and asked:
"Yan, you've finished absorbing the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone. How do you feel?"
Yan smiled and said:
"A hundred-thousand-year spirit beast truly is extraordinary. I feel as if I've undergone a complete rebirth."
The hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone had brought Yan tremendous improvement. He felt as though he had evolved once more.
"Yan, release your martial soul and spirit rings. Let me take a look."
"Alright."
Under Yue Guan's gaze, Yan released his Flame Lord martial soul and his seven spirit rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, and red.
The Flame Lord now appeared more solid, nearly comparable to a Martial Soul True Body. Its form was immense and majestic, surrounded by crimson-gold flames, dazzling like a blazing sun.
The seven spirit rings were radiant and eye-catching.
The most striking of them all was the hundred-thousand-year red spirit ring, emitting an overwhelming aura of dominance and pressure, instilling awe in anyone who looked upon it.
"Yan, just as I expected, your martial soul has evolved again."
Yan nodded.
"The flame within me has now evolved into the Ultimate Fire, which possesses a far stronger scorching power."
The Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound race possessed traces of pure-blood True Dragon lineage.
The flames within them were Hellfire, close to Ultimate Fire.
After absorbing the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and the Ten-Headed Fierce Serpent Naiden, the flame within Yan had evolved into True Flame of Pure Yang.
Now, with the integration of Hellfire, it had directly evolved into Ultimate Fire.
The Ultimate Fire further elevated Yan's Flame Power.
The True Flame of Pure Yang domain had also evolved into the Domain of Ultimate Fire.
With this even more powerful Ultimate Fire and his enhanced spiritual power, the Soul-Devouring Black Flame had evolved into the Nihility Devouring Flame.
Yan gently waved his right hand, and a cluster of black fire instantly condensed in his palm.
That black flame was no longer just thick and dark; within the illusory black fire, faint traces of golden light flowed, appearing extremely strange, as if containing infinite and unfathomable mystical power.
Yue Guan exclaimed in awe:
"Yan, your Soul-Devouring Black Flame has become even stronger."
"Yes, it has evolved into the Nihility Devouring Flame, which can devour all things."
"Nihility Devouring Flame? Even the name sounds incredible."
Unable to conceal his inner joy, Yue Guan asked curiously:
"Then, how much has your spirit power increased?"
Yan smiled and raised his hand to Yue Guan, gesturing with his fingers.
"Five levels?"
Yue Guan's eyes widened.
He had already expected Yan to rise by several levels, but he still found it hard to believe. He hadn't expected that after breaking through Rank 70, Yan could still increase by so much all at once.
"Yes, a full five levels. I'm now at Rank 75."
"That's wonderful! What about the hundred-thousand-year soul bone skill? What is it?" Yue Guan asked curiously.
Yan explained.
"The left leg soul bone of the Three-headed Crimson Demon Hound greatly enhanced my speed. The first skill it granted me is teleportation. When I use this skill, I can instantly move to a location a kilometer away, ignoring any obstacles."
"That's excellent. With this skill, we don't have to worry about Dugu Bo pulling any dirty tricks on you."
Yue Guan had fought Dugu Bo many times before. Dugu Bo's speed was faster than his, which allowed him to escape Yue Guan's grasp multiple times.
He had originally worried that if they ran into Dugu Bo in the Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo would use his speed advantage to ambush Yan.
Now that Yan had a teleportation skill, he wouldn't lose to Dugu Bo in terms of speed anymore.
Yue Guan continued asking:
"What about the other soul skill? What is it?"
"Flame Blade Chain Kick."
Yan explained:
"This soul skill utilizes the blazing flame energy within the left leg soul bone to unleash a rapid sequence of sharp flame blades through successive kicks in a short period of time. These flame blades carry scorching fire and destructive power, enough to seriously injure or even kill an opponent. They also come with a continuous burning effect from the flames."
Listening to Yan's explanation, Yue Guan couldn't help but shake his head in amazement:
"Yan, everything that has happened to you in the past few years has truly been unbelievable.
From when you broke through Level 40 and unexpectedly acquired an external soul bone with your fourth soul ring, you've become a child of destiny.
You unexpectedly obtained top-tier immortal herbs, single-handedly turned the tide to win the championship honor for Spirit Hall, successfully emerged from the Slaughter City, absorbed the Ten-headed Fierce Serpent's inner core as a soul ring, absorbed the Dark Evil god Tiger's inner core, and now you've absorbed a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone.
Every one of these events seemed impossible, yet they all truly happened to you.
Sometimes I even wonder, have you really been blessed by the gods?"
Yan smiled and humbly said:
"Teacher, if I must say, it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't carefully taught me about herbs and plants, I wouldn't have been able to absorb those top-tier immortal herbs. Then everything that followed would've been impossible."
Yue Guan chuckled.
"Alright, stop being so modest. You're already the youngest Soul Sage. At your current rate of progress, it's highly possible you'll achieve the title of Titled Douluo before the age of thirty. That would surpass even Her Holiness the Pope and make you the youngest Titled Douluo in the history of the Douluo Continent. While I'm proud of you, you should slow your pace a little."
Yue Guan was optimistic about Yan's future, but also had some concern.
Being too outstanding and even surpassing Bibi Dong wasn't necessarily a good thing.
Yan understood the implied meaning behind Yue Guan's words.
"Teacher, thank you for the reminder. I'll be careful."
Yue Guan nodded in satisfaction.
"As long as you remain in Spirit Hall and loyal to Her Holiness the Pope, nothing will happen to you."
"Yes, I understand."
Yan had long considered that if he were to escape Bibi Dong's control, it could mean mortal danger.
So before that, he had to become even stronger, strong enough to control his own destiny.
After that, the two of them headed for the Sunset Forest together.
This time, whether Dugu Bo was there or not, they were going to pick immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
