In a forest, Chu Bai had just stepped in when he heard a clear, hearty laugh.
"Haha, Holy Son, you sure made me wait!"
A figure stepped through the air—it was Dugu Bo.
Feeling the powerful aura within Dugu Bo, Chu Bai was stunned: "Old poison, have you broken through?"
"Haha, thanks to you, not only has my Martial Soul evolved, I've also broken through to level ninety-five."
Dugu Bo said excitedly.
"Now let me go fight Ju Hua Guan, I'll surely make him kneel and beg for mercy."
Chu Bai could only smile helplessly.
Now Dugu Bo and Yue Guan were both level ninety-five; who was stronger or weaker was truly uncertain.
"By the way, Holy Son, how has your cultivation gone over the past year?" Dugu Bo asked with curiosity. Though he could feel Chu Bai's soul power hadn't increased, the person himself seemed completely changed.
"My soul power is still level fifty-six, but my personal abilities have improved considerably."
After saying this, blood-red light gathered in Chu Bai's pupils. He looked at Dugu Bo, and a cold killing intent erupted from within!
"Killing God Domain!"
"Desolation Domain!"
Two great domains bloomed simultaneously, enveloping Dugu Bo.
The smile on Dugu Bo's face instantly disappeared. His expression changed drastically as he looked at Chu Bai in shock.
"Th… two domains?!"
Feeling his own strength being suppressed, Dugu Bo was horrified. One of Chu Bai's domains contained endless icy, violent killing intent, while the other drained life force continuously from opponents.
If the two domains were combined in battle—
Who could possibly resist?!
"So, you gave up cultivating soul power to temper your own killing intent."
Dugu Bo suddenly understood and could not help but sigh.
Ordinary people only pursued breakthroughs in soul power, but Chu Bai, at this age, could pursue the use of personal abilities. This was truly rare.
"By the way, Old Poison, how is the Soul Master Competition going?"
Chu Bai asked.
"Hehe, the Soul Master Competition has been very smooth. In five days, the finals will be held in Wuhun City. Holy Son, if you go back now, you'll make it in time."
Dugu Bo explained. Chu Bai relaxed upon hearing this: "Not bad, I'm not too late."
"In that case, let's head to Wuhun City."
…
Wuhun City
When Chu Bai arrived at the Wuhun Hall training ground, he saw six figures sitting cross-legged ahead, seemingly in cultivation mode.
Around them swirled extremely powerful fluctuations of soul power.
For example, Hu Liena and two others—at this point, their strength had likely reached level fifty-nine, about to enter the Soul Emperor stage. It was clear they had been cultivating with the help of the God's Domain.
Dugu Yan's soul power had also reached level fifty-six, matching Chu Bai.
Even more surprisingly, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had reached the Soul King stage. Judging from the soul power fluctuations, they were close to level fifty-four.
"Not disappointing at all."
Chu Bai smiled.
The movement of Chu Bai's arrival caught Zhu Zhuqing's attention. She slowly opened her eyes. The others were still cultivating, but when she saw Chu Bai standing beside her, she froze for a moment. Her nose tingled with emotion. Before Zhu Zhuqing could act, Chu Bai had already embraced her.
"You… are back."
Zhu Zhuqing whispered, her voice trembling with emotion.
Though usually quiet and indifferent toward others, she could truly open her heart to friends.
Let alone to Chu Bai.
Over the past year, she had countless times imagined meeting Chu Bai again. She told herself to control her emotions.
But now, at this moment, she could not control her feelings.
"Sorry, I'm a bit late returning." Chu Bai smiled, patting Zhu Zhuqing's head and wiping her tears away.
"In one year, you've reached level fifty-three. Seems like you've worked hard."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head: "It was all thanks to your God's Domain cultivation."
"God's Domain is only an auxiliary tool, after all."
While they spoke, the others also exited cultivation mode. Seeing Chu Bai return, everyone was extremely surprised and happy.
"Chu Bai, you finally came back."
Ning Rongrong pointed at Chu Bai: "The moment you're back, you're cozying up with Zhu Qing. I won't even comment on you!"
Chu Bai rolled his eyes.
At this moment, a figure appeared—it was Bibi Dong.
"Xiao Bai, you're back."
Bibi Dong was naturally very happy to see Chu Bai return. She was also surprised that he had emerged from the City of Slaughter in just one year.
"Mm, Teacher, how have you been this year?" Chu Bai smiled.
"Quite well. I brought Zhu Qing, Rongrong, and Dugu Yan to obtain the fifth soul ring. Nana and the other two are also about to step into the Soul Emperor level." Bibi Dong spoke softly, addressing all seven including Chu Bai.
"You are all elites of Wuhun Hall. The Soul Master Competition finals are coming soon. This honor has always belonged to Wuhun Hall, and I hope it will be so again this time."
…
That night, Chu Bai returned to his residence again. Having been away for a year, this quiet environment felt somewhat unfamiliar.
The air no longer carried that violent aura.
In the City of Slaughter, the surroundings were constantly filled with the roars of corrupt people and lascivious sounds.
He had almost become numb to it. Now back in Wuhun City, he found it hard to sleep.
"..."
Chu Bai stood by the window, his mind suddenly restless, seemingly barely able to control the killing intent within. Feeling it stir violently inside, he realized that if his emotions changed, the killing intent might go out of control, potentially leading to complete corruption.
"Damn it, this killing intent…"
Chu Bai's arms trembled slightly. His eyes turned blood-red as uncontrolled killing intent burst from his body. The icy killing aura even caused frost to appear around him.
"Chu Bai."
A soft, boneless hand grasped Chu Bai's. The icy touch brought him back some awareness. He turned and saw Zhu Zhuqing had appeared beside him.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhuqing asked worriedly.
Chu Bai calmed himself and recounted the events of the past year to Zhu Zhuqing. Though he didn't go into details, when she saw the scars on his body, her eyes reddened.
"You must have had an extremely difficult year."
Chu Bai sighed: "The most important thing now is to deal with this killing intent problem."
"Zhu Qing, tomorrow you bring Rongrong. We will go to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. I need to consult Chen Xin about how to transform my killing intent."
