Chapter 52

Zhao Wuji strained to recall: "The martial soul is a flaming long spear, and the opponent he fought was a Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall; judging from the martial soul, it should be the twin Title Douluo of the Hall of Worship in legend—the Thousand Jin Douluo and the Subduing Devil Douluo."

Tang Hao heard and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Yang Yun of the Po clan; good, very good; I will definitely come to settle this debt."

These two people have suffered extremely severe burns; that food-system Soul Emperor gave them a bit of soul power recovery and healed their injuries; hurry to find a healing soul master, perhaps they can still be saved.

The fire of the burn is extremely overbearing; if not dealt with quickly, it's very likely to be slowly eroded by this burn until death; I can only temporarily suppress it with strong soul power.

Even back when I met Titan in Tiandou City, I had heard that the Po clan had produced an exceptionally talented youth; relying on himself he became the new clan chief of the Po clan, and he also merged the Min clan and the Yu clan entirely to form the Breaking Heaven Sect, whose sect leader is called Yang Yun.

The martial soul is a variant Po Soul Spear, which Yang Yun calls the Flame Spear Chongli.

It is now almost certain that the one who attacked Shrek Academy and abducted Xiao Wu is Yang Yun.

Yang Yun's nine soul rings are all full, so the only plausible explanation is that he will kill Xiao Wu in order to obtain her hundred-thousand-year soul bone.

Just thinking about this, Tang Hao's heart almost sank to the bottom of the valley.

After six or seven years of raising them, Tang Hao even came to see that Xiao Wu and Xiao San shared a feeling that transcended sibling bonds.

But now he has to undergo prematurely the pain he himself once endured; truly sorrowful.

However, this might also be a good thing; perhaps it could stir Xiao San's fighting spirit, prompting him to devote himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

To become a Title Douluo more quickly, even adding a second soul ring; to become an existence surpassing his invincible grandfather Tang Chen on land.

Even the ancestors apparently didn't have all-black soul rings; let alone the ninth soul ring of a Title Douluo, which can absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

By then, having nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings, who on the whole continent could still be a match for Xiao San? Tang Hao's thoughts swirled a hundred times, a thousand thoughts; he leapt up and flew back to the Star Dou Great Forest; along the way he even circled several times to make sure no one was following him.

He slipped into the woods and disappeared.

On the other side.

When Yang Yun was halfway through his flight, Xiao Wu woke up, but Yang Yun did not let her go.

Only when he returned to the Tian Dou Royal Academy did Yang Yun see Ye Lingling standing beneath the girls' dormitory building.

"Are you waiting for me? Surely your family has already decided?" Yang Yun descended from the sky and walked up to Ye Lingling.

At this moment, Ye Lingling's gaze was somewhat vacant; seeing Yang Yun approach, she slightly bowed: "Sect Master, my father can agree to let me join the Po Tian Sect; but there is a condition."

"What condition?" Yang Yun raised an eyebrow, looking at Ye Lingling's vacant gaze.

"You must marry me."

Ye Lingling's face bore a cold smile as she involuntarily recalled that day when several 'esteemed and venerable' elders came to visit her home.

"The previous possessor of the Nine Heart Sea Check martial soul was my mother; she bore several sons, none of whom awakened the Nine Heart Sea Check; only after I was born did my mother lose her fertility."

"So I survived."

"The family elders' condition is that you must marry me, though not necessarily as a wife; however, once you reach rank seventy, each year you must unconditionally treat ten soul masters of the family; for a period of fifty years."

"The next generation inheritor of the Nine Heart Sea Check must fulfill the same condition; thereafter, it will be entirely up to personal choice."

Upon hearing the latter part, Yang Yun had originally thought having another beauty to warm his quilt would be nice; but the more he listened, the less pleasant it became.

In such an era, women are indeed a special family resource.

Ye Lingling is such, and Zhu Zhuqing is as well.

The original work did not introduce the fate of the Nine Heart Sea Check, but even after ten thousand years, a Nine Heart Sea Check martial soul still exists.

Thus the lineage was not broken.

However, how it would be passed on is probably unknown. Yang Yun had no objection to the conditions Ye Lingling stated; war would begin in a few years.

In this special period, the dead die and the wounded are wounded.

Countless family forces will stand out and rise from obscurity, while countless other family forces will be eradicated during this period.

To think of using this method to entangle Ye Lingling, or even the Po Tian Sect for a hundred years, is a miscalculation.

Yang Yun placed his palm on Ye Lingling's head; the warm sensation of his palm made her involuntarily lift her head, just in time to see his dark eyes.

"Ye Lingling, welcome to the Po Tian Sect; between us there is no affection, perhaps there will be in the future, perhaps not, but as long as the Po Tian Sect endures, it can protect you for a lifetime."

"Dugu Yan, grant her a few days' leave."

Speaking to the empty dormitory hall, Ye Lingling hadn't even gotten a chance to speak before Yang Yun embraced her and flew into the sky.

All the way flying, besides the howling wind in Ye Lingling's ears, her sight held only Yang Yun's face.

At the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes.

Yang Yun took out the casket containing the hundred-thousand-year right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor and placed it before Ye Lingling.

Above the casket there was also a round bead the size of a bull's eye.

"Swallow the child fire, and you will be able to absorb this hundred-thousand-year leg bone."

Yang Yun's words entered Ye Lingling's ears.

Ye Lingling looked at the tiny fiery red bead on the casket, slowly reached out, pinched it, placed it in her mouth, and swallowed.

A warm breath enveloped her entirely.

A warmth she had never felt before, as if returning to the warm embrace of her childhood.

Yang Yun eyed the closed-eyed, blissful Ye Lingling with suspicion; why was this girl's feedback different from those before? Could it be that the Falling Heart Flame, as his level increased, had begun to gradually unlock the true power of the alien fire? Speaking of which, the true might of the Falling Heart Flame that he could actually exert was only ten percent; the remainder would likely have to be slowly unlocked as soul rings are added.

After breaking through to the Title Douluo level, Ye Lingling could be considered the first to accept the latest child fire.

After half an hour, Ye Lingling opened her eyes; her pupils still lingered with the aftertaste of the previous sensation.

"How do you feel?"

Ye Lingling wrapped her arms around her own arms: "Great!"

Yang Yun: "."

"Then don't waste time, absorb the hundred-thousand-year soul bone; I still have something else to give you."

Ye Lingling hesitated not; although the hundred-thousand-year soul bone was so precious that she could suppress her inner excitement and not lose composure; even with her resolve firm.

Yang Yun walked behind Ye Lingling, placed his palm on her back and softly said: "Follow the circulation of my soul power; this is the Po Tian Sect's cultivation method; the Nourishing Qi Technique."

Soon, the immense soul power from the hundred-thousand-year soul bone within Ye Lingling's body continuously circulated through her meridians.

When the soul power was circulating, Yang Yun discovered that Ye Lingling's meridians had good elasticity and her life recovery ability was extremely strong; after circulating a full cycle.

Yang Yun controlled the soul power of the hundred-thousand-year soul bone, rushing to strike the Yang Heel meridian.

Through gradual wear and tear, the Yang Heel meridian was successfully opened by Yang Yun; Ye Lingling's soul power and physical constitution were further developed and strengthened.

Afterward, through tempering with child fire, it will certainly possess greater potential.
