Qian Renshang took a deep breath, looking at the blood-red ten thousand year soul ring shining beneath his feet!
Excitement flashed in his eyes!
"Did I succeed?"
Qian Renshang smiled, immediately drinking a mouthful of the Spring of Life.
Powerful life force instantly flowed into his body, repairing his recently shattered flesh.
"This ten thousand year soul ring seems to also come from a powerful dragon clan..."
Qian Renshang felt a tremor in his heart as he felt the power brought by this ten thousand year soul ring.
His soul power had directly increased to level 64, not far from level 65, a huge improvement!
Moreover, because he had been feeding Gu Yuena blood, his soul power growth speed was very slow, but he also benefited from this misfortune; his soul power density was quite high.
Level 64 soul power might even be higher than that of an ordinary soul master!
"Let me see what this ten thousand year soul skill has?"
Qian Renshang began to examine his gains.
"Uh... Golden Dragon Body!
A comprehensive boost to physical attributes—strength, defense, agility, recovery... a 300% increase!
Hiss... A 100,000-year soul skill is indeed terrifying."
Upon seeing the first 100,000-year soul skill, Qian Renshang felt it was worth it.
Using this skill, his combat power could triple in a short time!
Truly powerful... As for the other skill!
"It's... this?"
Qian Renshang's eyes widened, even more excited than when he first obtained the Golden Dragon Body.
"It seems I finally have the means to roam the continent... Aside from some powerful Title Douluos who are no match for me, even ordinary Soul Saints are no match for me now, and even eight-ring Soul Douluos are no match for me."
Qian Renshang sighed. He didn't know exactly how strong he was now; perhaps he would have to wait until he encountered the next powerful opponent.
Qian Renshang didn't immediately get up, but sat and rested for a while, allowing his stamina to recover.
After all, absorbing the 100,000-year soul ring was also a drain on him.
After a brief rest, Qian Renshang stood up, dusted himself off, and prepared to continue his journey.
He didn't want to linger here, as he still had much to explore.
However, he didn't have a clear idea of his destination.
He simply felt that since he had embarked on this path, he should keep moving forward. So, he decided to walk and see if he could find a suitable place as his destination.
And so, Qian Renshang continued along the mountain path, without a specific direction or goal.
He was like a lone wolf, silently searching for his own home.
After an unknown amount of time, Qian Renshang found himself seemingly entering a valley.
The surrounding scenery became increasingly narrow, with towering peaks on both sides and only a narrow path in the middle.
He stopped and looked up, only to see that the sky above was obscured by the mountains, leaving only a narrow sliver.
Today, Qian Renshang was dressed in a flowing white robe, a delicate dark green water jug hanging at his waist, swaying gently with his steps, giving him a somewhat unrestrained air.
His eyes were deep and resolute, seemingly able to see through everything, and a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealed a subtle confidence and composure.
Qian Renshang walked, admiring the surrounding scenery, occasionally taking a sip from the water jug, savoring the sweetness and warmth it brought.
His steps were light yet steady, each step full of power and rhythm, leaving a trail of deep and shallow footprints behind him.
After walking for a while, night slowly fell!
Qian Renshang decided to stop and rest.
He lit a campfire, preparing for a feast!
Qian Renshang took out several large pieces of processed soul beast meat from a storage container made of ten-thousand-year-old green vine and put them on to roast.
Sprinkling on his secret seasoning, it soon emitted a rich aroma of meat, making one's mouth water.
Qian Renshang picked up a large skewer of meat and was about to begin his feast when… the sound of hooves suddenly came from behind him.
Turning around, he saw two rather luxurious carriages stop, and two graceful figures slowly emerged.
The first to catch everyone's eye was a lithe figure.
She wore a light green dress, its hem fluttering like a spring breeze rustling willow branches.
Her cascading black hair was gently pulled back, a few strands playfully falling beside her fair cheeks, adding to her soft beauty.
Her eyes were clear as water, seemingly holding a thousand stars, and the slightly upturned corners of her eyes carried a natural allure.
The girl gracefully stepped down from the carriage, her every movement exuding a refined and elegant air that captivated everyone.
Following her, another elegant figure appeared. The girl wore a purple outfit that perfectly accentuated her graceful figure.
Her skin was as white as snow, with a healthy rosy glow.
Her phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, revealing a hint of sharpness and pride.
Her red lips curved slightly upward, carrying a wild smile, like a blooming rose, beautiful and captivating.
When she stepped down from the carriage, her confident stride and upright posture made it seem as if the whole world was at her feet.
"Sister Ye, this is exhausting! I didn't expect going back to the academy to be so troublesome..."
"Well, there's nothing we can do. School has started now.
Being late is no joke."
"Ugh... but I'm so hungry now. I've been eating dry rations for the past few days, I'm about to throw up."
"Me too..."
Two girls with somewhat contrasting temperaments chatted back and forth.
They were both students from the Royal Academy of the Heavenly Dou Empire, traveling back to school together.
The gentle woman was named Ye Lingling, and the more unrestrained woman was named Dugu Yan.
Just then, Dugu Yan's nose twitched slightly, as if she had sensed something amiss.
Excitedly pointing to Qian Renshang not far away, she shrieked, "Sister Ye, there's delicious food over there!"
With that, she eagerly ran towards Qian Renshang, completely disregarding whether Ye Lingling could react in time.
When she saw the soul beast meat Qian Renshang was roasting, a greedy glint flashed in her eyes, and she muttered to herself, "It smells...it smells so good."
She reached out without hesitation to grab the roasted meat, but in the next second, her movements suddenly stopped.
Qian Renshang's cold and firm voice rang in her ears: "Put it down!"
Qian Renshang's face was serious, his gaze fixed on Dugu Yan, his tone carrying a hint of authority as he said,
"Has no one told you that you should ask the owner's permission before taking someone else's things?"
