, Level 4

Chapter 39, Level 40

In the very center of the training ground, Ye Jingqiu sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, surrounded by powerful soul energy.

Qian Daoliu would always have her begin cultivating her soul power after intense training.

Although the process was extremely difficult, the high-intensity training meant exhaustion, and Ye Jingqiu would force himself to stay awake and not collapse from fatigue after each training session.

But it must be said that Sendoryu's method is very effective.

Her body seemed to have been tempered, and each breakthrough of her limits brought her even purer power.

After this period of breakthroughs, Ye Jingqiu clearly felt that his meridians had been widened and the flow of soul power within his body had become faster.

With his six meridians connected, Ye Jingqiu clearly felt that his soul power had become even stronger.

She opened her eyes, and her golden eyes were actually radiating silver light. She took a deep breath and felt the soul power within her body.

In an instant, Ye Jingqiu stood up and ran quickly to Qian Daoliu's side. At this moment, her joy made her completely forget her respect for Qian Daoliu.

"Great Elder, I've reached level 40! After absorbing the spirit ring, I'll be a Soul Master level powerhouse!"

She tugged at Qian Daoliu's sleeve, looked up at him, her eyes shining brightly with a smile.

Qian Daoliu was taken aback, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, which Ye Jingqiu did not notice.

His cool voice rang out, "Very good. In just half a year, your soul power has increased from level 37 to level 40. As expected of someone with innate full soul power, your talent is very high."

Having received praise from the most powerful Grand Elder in the Spirit Hall, Ye Jingqiu's smile widened even further.

"They all believe in the good teachings of the Great Venerable One."

In her excitement, she gradually calmed down and soon realized that the hem of the dress she was holding tightly in her hand was made of the finest and smoothest material.

Upon realizing this, Ye Jingqiu somewhat uncomfortably released his grip.

She lowered her head and whispered her apology, "High Priest, I didn't mean it."

Qian Daoliu didn't seem to take the matter to heart. "You've been in good shape lately. Only after absorbing the soul ring can you continue cultivating. There's no time like the present. I'll arrange for someone to go with you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts later."

He paused, then looked intently at Ye Jingqiu, his gaze serious. "But you can't hide under the protection of the strong forever. You have to learn to stand on your own. They will ensure your safety, but you'll still need to hunt soul beasts yourself, understand?"

Ye Jingqiu nodded vigorously, "I understand, Grand Elder."

She had no objection to Qian Daoliu's arrangements. During this time, she was often taken by Qian Daoliu to the Soul Beast Arena to compete with Soul Beasts. Hunting a thousand-year-old Soul Beast was not difficult for her.

Qian Daoliu stared intently at Ye Jingqiu and asked, "Do you want to break through your limits?"

Ye Jingqiu was taken aback upon hearing this and looked at him with some confusion.

"Don't limit the age of your spirit rings to those of powerful thousand-year-old spirit beasts."

If not powerful thousand-year-old soul beasts, then what should be placed on, weak thousand-year-old soul beasts?

wrong.

Although Ye Jingqiu and Qian Daoliu had not spent much time together, he had already gained a clear understanding of Ye Jingqiu.

He's a gambling addict.

That's right, a gambler.

Whether it's making her a control-type Soul Master while also making her a power-attack-type Soul Master, or having her, as a Soul Venerable, challenge a Soul King.

If Qian Daoliu could say something like that, his meaning was quite clear: he wanted her to focus her attention on ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

For ordinary Soul Masters, a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast will be absorbed as the fifth Soul Ring when the Soul Master becomes a Soul Ring.

However, Ye Jingqiu remembered Qian Daoliu's soul ring configuration; his first soul ring was a black ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Although she didn't know why, this showed that there were many inexplicable things on the Douluo Continent, and perhaps she could give it a try.

Ye Jingqiu nodded. "Grand Elder, I understand what you mean."

"Go back and prepare. You will set off for the Star Dou Great Forest this afternoon."

"Yes." Ye Jingqiu turned and quickly left.

……

Even at midday in January, when the sun is up, the wind is still biting cold.

Ye Jingqiu unconsciously wrapped his thick clothes tighter around himself.

She had been waiting here for half an hour, but the person Qian Daoliu had arranged had not yet appeared.

She lowered her head somewhat dejectedly, wondering if Qian Daoliu was too busy and had forgotten about her.

Just then, that familiar, slightly cheeky voice rang out, "What are you doing, Qiuqiu?"

In the entire hall of worship, there was only one person who would call her that: "Guangling".

The latest novel is first published here!

She looked up and saw Guang Ling looking at her with a teasing expression, while a tall, blue-haired man stood beside him.

Guangling pointed at the man and said, "This is the Third Elder, Azure Phoenix Douluo. He's not as easy to talk to as I am."

"Fifth Brother, don't be foolish." Qingluan Douluo spoke solemnly, "You mustn't be disrespectful to the Holy Maiden." After saying that, he turned to look at Ye Jingqiu and said, "Holy Maiden."

This person was so serious. Ye Jingqiu nodded somewhat awkwardly, "Third Master."

Her gaze fell on Guangling out of the corner of her eye, and the latter opened his mouth: "Old-fashioned."

Understanding what his lip movements meant, Ye Jingqiu almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Fortunately, she managed to hold back in the end.

Azure Phoenix Douluo nodded slightly and said, "The Grand Elder means we should go and return quickly, so let's not waste any more time here. Let's set off quickly."

Ye Jingqiu nodded without any objection, and the three of them quickly left the offering hall.

From above, Qian Daoliu's gaze fell on the three of them, or more accurately, on Ye Jingqiu.

He muttered to himself, "You'd better not disappoint me."

However, Ye Jingqiu was still only a Soul Master, and could not compare with the two Title Douluos. After traveling for a day and a night, her speed obviously slowed down.

Light Feather Douluo asked, "Does the Papal Palace know about your recent hunt for soul beasts?"

She broke through her soul power in the morning and immediately confirmed that she would be hunting soul beasts in the afternoon. She did not send a message to the Papal Palace, and it was even less likely that Qian Daoliu would do so.

Ye Jingqiu shook his head. "They don't know that I've broken through to level 40."

Guangling nodded thoughtfully. "No wonder Chrysanthemum Pass and Ghost Douluo didn't come. I think those two treasure you a lot."

Ye Jingqiu's expression remained unchanged. "I grew up in the Papal Palace when I was six years old. Elder Ju and Elder Gui have always been by my side. In my heart, they are like family."

Guangling clicked her tongue and suddenly said something strange, "I saw it last time, His Holiness the Pope is really good to you."

Ye Jingqiu was taken aback. She turned to look at Guang Ling, somewhat bewildered, not knowing what he meant.
