Chapter 18: Lingxu Must Die

With Lingxu's level 34 soul power, absorbing a Head Spirit Bone of over 80,000 years would require a very long time for Lingxu.

Lingxu had also considered letting his parents absorb this soul bone, but that would have wasted Qian Renxue's good intentions.

Moreover, his parents certainly wouldn't be willing to accept this soul bone, as it was, after all, a gift from Qian Renxue to him.

Having already had the experience of absorbing an External Spirit Bone, Lingxu absorbed this Spirit Wisdom Skull very smoothly.

By the afternoon of the third day, the absorption was successfully completed.

The moment it was finished, Lingxu felt his mind was incomparably clear, and his thinking was even more agile than before.

"As expected of a high-quality 80,000-year Spirit Wisdom Skull, my Mental Power should have increased quite a bit."

Lingxu immediately looked at his attribute panel in the system.

Originally, Lingxu's Mental Power had already reached level 43 before.

This... Lingxu looked at the system panel in surprise; at this moment, his Mental Power displayed the number 79, which meant level 79 Mental Power.

His Mental Power had increased by a full 36 levels, and it also came with a Mental Power attack skill, Mental Shock!

It was just a pity that it didn't reach level 80 or above; after all, once it reached that point, Mental Power could become materialized.

However, being able to increase his Mental Power by so much at once, Lingxu was very satisfied.

Lingxu remembered that the spirit skull Tang San obtained should have been slightly inferior to this one of his.

After Tang San absorbed it, his Mental Power seemed to have reached materialization, which meant his Mental Power had directly increased to the level of 80 or above.

However, at that time, Tang San's soul power and Mental Power were much higher than his own current period, so he was able to raise his Mental Power to level 80 or above at that time.

"It's been almost three days, I must hurry out."

"If I need to arrive at Heaven Dou City and appear before Qian Renxue within twenty-seven days, I must arrive at Heaven Dou City at least a week in advance; if I don't prepare, I might not be able to see Qian Renxue within the stipulated time, after all, her public identity is already Xue Qinghe."

"I also don't know if Mom and Dad have finished their handover these past few days; if possible, we will set off immediately."

Standing up, Lingxu realized his stomach was growling; having not eaten or drunk for three days, he needed to replenish immediately.

He simply ate some dry rations and drank some water.

Lingxu didn't dare to eat too much; having not eaten for a long time, eating too quickly was bad for the stomach.

Opening the door to the cultivation room, Lingxu saw the family maid Liu'er waiting outside.

"Young Master, Master and Mistress said to go find them once you came out," Liu'er said as she stepped forward.

"Alright, Sister Liu'er, I'll go right away."

The girl beside Lingxu was one of the maids in the house, seventeen years old, with a Willow Tree martial soul, which was considered quite good among plant martial souls.

It was a pity that her Innate Spirit Power was only level 1; no matter how hard she cultivated, she only had level 15 soul power now, and her future achievements were truly limited.

Fortunately, Liu'er had a tall figure and was also very beautiful; if she left this Wuhun City, she would definitely be very sought after.

When Lingxu passed his room, he found his mother Luo Xingyue was packing things.

The things inside were basically all packed up.

"Mom, my cultivation is finished, but why did you pack up everything?" Lingxu asked curiously.

Luo Xingyue hadn't left a single thing in the room for him.

Luo Xingyue said: "Son, it's not that I didn't know which ones you wanted and which you didn't, so I just packed them all up!"

"Thank you, Mom, then when are we leaving?" Lingxu asked.

Looking at the tidy room, Luo Xingyue said: "We can go anytime! Your father and I are all packed."

"This time the three of us are also taking Liu'er and Huoyun'er along; the other two maids will stay here to look after the house."

"I gave them some Gold Soul Coins, enough for them to live here in peace for more than three years."

Lingxu said: "Mom, there is at least an hour and a half until dark now; by night, we should be able to reach a small town more than forty kilometers outside Wuhun City."

"There is enough time, we can set off immediately."

"Alright, Son, you check what you need to bring yourself first; I'll go find your father to prepare to set off."

This time going to Heaven Dou City, including the two maids and his parents, there were five people in total.

Besides the maid Liu'er, there was another maid, Huoyun'er, whose soul power was level 26.

Huoyun'er was just over eighteen, less than a year older than Liu'er.

However, she was much better than Liu'er, with level 3 Innate Spirit Power and a Fire Cloud Sparrow martial soul.

Originally, with her talent, she could have gone to some academies to study, but she didn't, only wishing to remain in their home as a maid.

The two girls were also the most loyal in the house; after all, when they were a few years old, it was his mother Luo Xingyue who saved them from death.

For them, Lingxu's family was also their home.

Without this family of Lingxu, they would have died long ago; how could they have become Spirit Masters and lived a stable life?

This was also the reason why Luo Xingyue was willing to take them along.

It seemed the whole family was waiting for him alone; after a simple cleanup.

Half an hour later, the five people and one carriage set off.

However, just after leaving Wuhun City, Lingxu met two Spirit Masters; they were also riding horses and seemed to be waiting for their arrival.

"My Lord!"

Carlos and Cheng Mo bowed in salute on their horses.

"Good, let's go together!" Ling Bufan said.

Upon asking, Lingxu learned that when Ling Bufan was handling the handover procedures a few days ago, the two had taken the initiative to suggest going with him.

These two were Ling Bufan's confidants themselves, and since they were willing to follow him, he might as well take them along.

For this, Ling Bufan even specifically applied for it.

Fortunately, the two's soul power was not high, only at the Spirit King stage, and they were not the kind of Spirit Masters with extremely high talent, so this application was quickly approved, which could be considered giving face to Ling Bufan, a Spirit Douluo.

Of course, these two felt it was better under Ling Bufan, and perhaps it was also because of Lingxu's talent.

Few people know of Lingxu's soul power, and he is usually very low-key.

The two of them had gone to search for a Spirit Ring with Lingxu, and after learning of Lingxu's talent, they actually had some ideas.

A ten-year-old Soul Elder possessing an External Spirit Bone would definitely be a big shot in the future, and Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue had both treated them well.

In short, following him early on would not be a loss.

With two Soul Kings, Lingxu would naturally not refuse, as having two people he could trust to handle matters in Heaven Dou City would be an advantage.

The seven of them set off together from Heaven Dou City.

And not long after Lingxu left!

In Wuhun City, inside the Pope Palace.

A wisp of black smoke flashed by, and Bibi Dong looked up at the middle-aged man in black attire before her.

"Your Excellency, they have left Wuhun City together; do you want us to take action?" Ghost Douluo said respectfully with one hand placed over his chest.

"This brat's talent is always a bane, but..."

"Someone has been watching recently, so it is not easy to act. Wait a while longer, or in some time, you all go to Heaven Dou City to finish him off."

As she spoke, a cold glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes; she had originally wanted to take action to remove this threat a few days ago, but unfortunately, she was stopped by Qian Daoliu.

After all, her goal was to destroy the Spirit Hall, ruin the Qian family, and destroy all of this.

Lingxu's talent was rare in the world, second only to Qian Renxue; if he were not killed, he would definitely stand on the side of the Spirit Hall in the future and would always be a bane.

Moreover, she had almost killed him before; could the other party not hold a grudge?

So, after much thought, Bibi Dong made her decision.

Whether for herself or for Qian Renxue, Lingxu must die!

Regarding this Mental Power, everyone, is this correct? I remember Tang San increased it by that much!
