Chapter 1

Heaven Dou Empire Crown Prince's residence.

A gentle voice sounded: 'Still no news of him?'

'Young master, we have used all our resources to investigate; still we haven't found the person you mentioned.'

'Alright.'

the Star Dou Great Forest.

A pitch-black Titan Giant Ape, its size like a mountain, roared repeatedly at the four humans before it, its eyes full of fury.

A trace of blood stained the corner of its mouth, not easily wiped away.

'Roar!'

Yang Wuhu of the Po clan wielded a tiger-headed Broken Soul Spear, his soul power surging in shocking waves; he was in fact a mere fifty-year-old, an eightieth-rank Battle Soul Douluo.

Yang Wuhu glanced at the youth beside him, his face flushed with guilt, and said: 'Young master, we are incapable; we cannot effectively break through its fleshly defenses to inflict a fatal wound, and still require your intervention.'

Yang Yun gazed at the mountain-like Titan Giant Ape before him and smiled lightly: 'Uncle Hu, how could I have achieved today's accomplishments without your and Uncle Long's and Uncle Sha's years of protection?'

'Today, for my eighth soul ring, the three uncles have toiled; A Li, strike down the Titan Giant Ape; after absorbing this soul ring we will return home.'

Crimson flames surged in his hand; his first martial soul, the 'Flame Spear Heavy Li,' took the form of a graceful female figure beside him like flowing clouds.

The artifact spirit of the Flame Spear Heavy Li is A Li, whose true name is Ying Li.

By chance, following Yang Yun from the Blue Star, he crossed over to the Douluo Continent world and became the artifact spirit of the first martial soul, Flame Spear Heavy Li;

His second martial soul is the legendary alien fire from another continent—the Falling Heart Flame.

A Li wielded the energy-formed Flame Spear Heavy Li, his sharp gaze fixed on the Titan Giant Ape, a fighting spirit seeming to surge in his eyes.

He instantly turned into a stream of light rushing toward the Titan Giant Ape; first soul skill—Pierce; penetrating power increased by 100%! Fourth soul skill—Heaven-Pierce; a teleporting strike that ignores soul power defenses! Though A Li had not yet arrived, he suddenly lunged to the Titan Giant Ape's face, and visibly, terror appeared in the beast's eyes.

This strike, as if piercing the stars, thrust forward from the Titan Giant Ape's face, leaving a bloody hole in its forehead.

Boom! The Titan Giant Ape's eyes widened as it crashed to the ground, yet it could not stop the ebbing of its life force; a crimson soul ring suddenly appeared upon its corpse.

Yang Wulong leapt down from the Titan Giant Ape's right shoulder, wielding a dragon-headed Broken Soul Spear.

'Second brother, third brother; do not be careless, beware of someone lurking to ambush and steal the soul bone; follow me in guarding all sides while the young master absorbs the soul ring.'

Yang Wuhu and Yang Wushark stood like two spears, together with Yang Wulong forming a triangle that encircled the Titan Giant Ape.

'Young master, absorb the soul ring and soul bone quickly; delay invites trouble, and we three brothers will guard you.'

Yang Yun nodded, gestured, and A Li flew down from the Titan Giant Ape's body, turning into a flame-like stream of light that merged into Yang Yun's body.

As Yang Yun's soul power drew it, the hundred-thousand-year soul ring slowly settled onto him.

Yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red—eight soul rings slowly undulated; the last three black rings each bore a hint of red within.

It was already approaching the level of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

In the sea of consciousness, A Li casually fired a shot that shattered the Titan Giant Ape's soul; he glanced at Yang Yun, raising his brows and revealing a bright smile.

Yang Yun exhaled a long breath; it seemed that even the soul impact of a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast was still trivial for A Li.

Phoenix Spear Art!

The soul power of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring is immensely rich, and the energy of the hundred-thousand-year soul ring formed by a hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape is extraordinarily overbearing.

But ultimately, they were all worn down by the operation of the Phoenix Spear Art, becoming part of Yang Yun's strength.

His soul power settled at eighty-four rank.

The Phoenix Spear Art cultivates soul power with both quality and quantity, and the Falling Heart Flame continually tempers it; the energy of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring can raise soul power to eighty-four rank, which already attests to the Titan Giant Ape's profound cultivation.

Yang Wulong watched Yang Yun absorb the soul ring with an ease as light as clouds and wind, easier than eating and drinking. Had the three brothers not previously endured the tearing torment when absorbing eightieth-rank soul rings, they might have mistakenly thought anyone could do it.

'Back then, the young master emerged from nowhere, his innate full soul power surpassing all peers; later, he treated us with kindness akin to rebirth.'

'He even did not hesitate to reveal the secret of his twin martial souls to cleanse our martial soul meridians; such trust, such great kindness—we three brothers have no way to repay it, and we would gladly lay down our lives and spill our brains for the young master, dying thereafter.'

Yang Wuhu listened to his elder brother Yang Wulong's words and wholeheartedly agreed.

'Over these years we have continually helped the young master accumulate strength, and within the clan we have united many clansmen; this time the young master has already broken through to Soul Douluo.'

'An eighteen-year-old Soul Douluo—what are the Twin Absolutes of the Clear Sky Sect before our young master?'

Yang Wushark let out a series of cold chuckles.

His eyes flickered with a hint of fury: 'Back then, the Clear Sky Sect cast aside our four great families like worn-out sandals; the young master, wise and mighty, should lead our Breaking clan to establish a staggering great undertaking.'

'On this, we have no doubt; our three brothers possess the strength of eightieth-rank Soul Douluo entirely thanks to the young master's grant, and he lacks neither thunderous methods nor iron-blooded resolve.'

'All we await is the young master's breakthrough, after which he will lead us to seize the chieftain's position; thereafter, hidden dragons will soar to the heavens, flood dragons will plunge into the seas, and we will roam at will.'

Just as the three were speaking.

At Yang Yun's side, his soul power had already calmed; before the three could react, he saw a complete arm soul bone fly over and slowly merge into his right arm.

'A hundred-thousand-year soul bone—only this quality of soul bone is worthy to become the young master's soul bone.' Yang Wulong sighed, his gaze sweeping the surroundings like a hawk or falcon.

After the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, Yang Yun had already risen; beside him was the artifact spirit of the Flame Spear Heavy Li, A Li.

His soul power level reached eighty-six rank.

Eighth soul skill—Gravity God Spear, controlling gravity and capable of hurling damage weighing tons.

Compared to soul skills and soul bone techniques, this is even more astonishing—almost as if born purely for slaughter and battle.

'Soul Douluo achieved; it is time to return to the clan and rise in revolt.' Yang Yun gazed at the Titan Giant Ape's corpse before him, waving his hand to let Yang Wulong and his two brothers dismember the corpse to take bone, flesh, and blood.

Every part of a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast is a treasure; using the ancient method from A Li's memory, it can enhance the blood and physique of the younger generation.

Just the spirit beast's meat is already a good thing.

Stuffing the soul conduits to the brim, there remain some scraps that can only be left in the Star Dou Great Forest to nourish other spirit beasts.

This too counts as giving back to nature.

Yang Wulong led the way ahead, while Yang Wuhu and Yang Wushark guarded the rear flanks; the four set out in a triangular formation to return.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh. As they hurried along, a great disturbance suddenly appeared ahead, accompanied by the sounds of battle.

Young Master, I don't know who is fighting ahead; should we go over directly? Yang Wulong turned his head back to ask for instructions.

Yang Yun gazed ahead, brow slightly furrowed.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, battles break out over spirit beasts; another aspect is fighting for gains such as soul bones.

Stealing from thieves, a tidy profit.

"Let's join the fun; I'm curious what happened." Yang Yun said softly, while also secretly speculating in his heart.

Many people that transmigrators can encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest include, most likely, a big cat, Qian Renxue, and the Witch Ning Rongrong.

But inferring from this time and place.

Likely it is Zhu Zhuqing of the Zhu Family of the Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul Family of the Star Luo Empire, fleeing the Star Luo Empire.

Bai Chenxiang is growing older; it's about time she arrived at Shrek Academy.
