Chapter 221: Succubus? or Obsessed Woman?

Getting back to the point, it was precisely because Xiao Wu's only means of attack that Yu Tianyun awarded her this left leg bone to strengthen her attack.

Frankly, Yu Tianyun looks down on these soul bones under a hundred thousand years old.

The number of hundred‑thousand‑year soul beasts on the continent may be few; hunting them at random would likely upset the ecological balance and hasten the process where soul masters have no rings to use. But the quantity of hundred‑thousand‑year soul bones in the ocean is absolutely considerable.

A conservative estimate puts it at double digits, even approaching three digits.

Sea soul beasts are basically all water‑attribute; among the women around him, aside from Liu Erlong who rejects sea soul beast rings and bones, the rest can still make do even if their attributes mismatch, and the hundred‑thousand‑year age is enough to compensate for the mismatch.

Therefore, it's not difficult to gather a full set of soul bones for them.

Furthermore, he can also obtain soul bones from Tang Hao, and even from Tang Chen.

Tang Hao's body is fitted with six soul bones, four of which remain; Tang Chen, as a ninety‑ninth‑rank Ultimate Douluo, is likely also equipped with six.

He now has a grudge against the Clear Sky Sect and will surely deal with it later; thus, the soul bones on Tang Chen are naturally something he must obtain.

Although they're not rare, he certainly won't waste them carelessly.

Watching the three absorb soul bones, then glancing at the group of naked women lying asleep, Yu Tianyun let out another long sigh.

"Participating in this Soul Master Grand Competition is really boring; I don't know how much I need to hold back to appear normal."

He currently has no interest in this tournament; if all the participants were Ultimate Douluo, he might become interested.

Fighting experts would give him much combat experience, but now, though his raw strength is strong, he's merely brute force.

The women in the room hardly look like they could compete.

If forced onto the stage, he'd likely go weak‑legged before the opponent even attacks.

So, only he can go up.

This isn't because Yu Tianyun fails to restrain himself or is lust‑blinded; it's that each of them is wolf‑like, refusing to stop until they're fully satisfied.

Xiao Wu's soul power growth yesterday wasn't an isolated case; all of them increased considerably, several even breaking through one level of soul power.

Even his three servant girls now possess soul power and are no longer ordinary people.

Only his own soul power remains as steady as Mount Tai, with no increase at all.

The reason for this is obvious; not only has he noticed it, but they have as well.

So, last night Yu Tianyun was treated like a tireless ox, plowing nearly all night until dawn, when the nine mu of fertile land was almost plowed through, did it end.

Thanks to this ox having evolved into an Ox Demon King; otherwise, in the past he'd have collapsed from exhaustion, foaming at the mouth.

Yu Tianyun smiled wryly, "Just consider it earning soul bones to support my wives."

Of course, he could also choose to reveal his identity and strength outright, which would certainly make acquiring soul bones effortless.

But then he'd fear the Spirit Hall disregarding martial ethics, swapping the bones for pitifully low‑quality ten‑thousand‑year soul bones in the end.

The soul bones Bi Bi Dong prepared for Hu Liena and her two companions are already decent; if she discovers Yu Tianyun's strength is too great, she'll certainly replace them with very ordinary ten‑thousand‑year soul bones.

As for wiping out the Spirit Hall in one fell swoop once and for all, Yu Tianyun hasn't ruled out that idea.

But after careful thought, he feels doing so would be extremely risky.

Although the Papal Hall and the Hall of Offerings have long been estranged, if he truly displayed power great enough to threaten the Spirit Hall, Bi Bi Dong and Qian Daoliu might set aside their grudges and join forces against him.

As for Bi Bi Dong, he isn't afraid at all; rather, he's wary of Qian Daoliu.

Bi Bi Dong may be a little crazy, but not to the point of fighting him to the death for the Spirit Hall.

But Qian Daoliu is another matter.

It's well known that old men with no future prospects are often the most terrifying; they dare to fight to the death, even dragging their enemies down with them.

Who can guarantee that Qian Daoliu won't brandish the Angelic Holy Sword and give him a performance of ultimate sublimation?

An Ultimate Douluo plus a divine artifact, and even able to call upon divine power—once they stake their lives, it's truly hard to say who is stronger.

"Better to play it safe, develop quietly; ideally train straight to God King level before re‑emerging! The way of survival is the true path!" Yu Tianyun muttered to himself.

Having thought that, Yu Tianyun stopped wasting time, turned his gaze away from the villa, and resumed cultivating the Profound Heaven Skill.

Soon, a white‑silk‑like airflow accompanied his breath, drawing in and out at the tip of his nose, while his inner soul power began to circulate rapidly according to that special pattern.

The condensation of his soul power is extremely high; it has become countless solid micro‑particles flowing gently through his meridians, finally gathering into two soul cores.

Those two soul cores work like hearts, continuously pumping soul power through the meridians of his whole body.

Each circuit increases his soul power by a thread.

Although this thread of soul power is as insignificant as a drop of water in a vast ocean compared to his total, if placed on a soul master of around ten ranks, it could likely let them instantly rise a level.

The benefit of this condensed soul power is great: his total soul power far exceeds that of peers of the same rank, giving him tremendous combat power and endurance, but it also has a drawback—not exactly a flaw—that his advancement speed is very slow.

Fortunately, Yu Tianyun possesses two major soul cores, allowing constant soul‑power growth; moreover, when he actively cultivates the Profound Heaven Skill, the training speed increases, so it won't be overly slow—gaining a rank per year should be no problem.

Two hours later, Yu Tianyun's figure appeared outside the Tiandou City Grand Soul Arena. Although the competition had already been underway for over ten days, the bustle here had not diminished; if anything, it was even more extraordinarily lively than at the start.

Because the later matches are more exciting, collisions between strong teams increase, thereby stirring people's interest.

Seeing this sea of people, Yu Tianyun felt his head go numb, and some unpleasant memories surged.

In his previous life, the National Day Golden Week was even livelier than this, with crowd density astonishing.

Back then he went to a certain place to view a famous Buddha statue, but before he could even see its appearance, he was swept away by the surging crowd and even lost a shoe.

As a result, whenever he later saw a dense crowd he would fear it like a tiger.

However, the current situation isn't that bad; although the crowd is large, compared to his past life it's only a minor witch seeing a great witch. Moreover, his strength now is vastly different from before.

He walked through the crowd unimpeded; those who tried to approach him were gently pushed aside by an invisible force.

Moreover, his handsome looks and splendid attire attracted no notice at all; he seemed as insubstantial as air, walking unseen down the street.

This wasn't due to Yu Tianyun employing any disguise or invisibility ability.

Of course, he can indeed use invisibility and disguise; releasing the Evil God Domain or the Blue Silver Domain can achieve such effects to a degree.

But he isn't using those two domains now; instead, he has reached the Unity of Heaven and Man. Simply put, it means man and nature are as one, every word and deed in accord with the laws of heaven and earth, like a fish in water.

Even if he stands before someone, if the other person doesn't focus and look closely, it's easy to overlook him.

However, this method is hard to affect high‑level Soul Masters.

It wasn't until Yu Tianyun arrived at the rest area that this condition was lifted.

"Eh? Look, look, a handsome guy!" a shout rang out in the rest area.

"Where? Where? Tell me quickly!" an eager question followed immediately.

"Right over there!"

"……"

Yu Tianyun had never been so speechless; he had just entered the rest area when a group of beauties spotted him.

Even though the beauties whispered about him amid the noisy surroundings, he heard them perfectly.

"Could it be the Tianshui Girl Group? They're quite good looking." Yu Tianyun looked toward the voice and nodded.

They were a group of girls in sky‑blue dresses, originally discussing today's tactics, but when one of them said "handsome guy," they all halted their discussion, revealing their true natures.

Except for one particularly imposing girl, the rest rushed to glance toward Yu Tianyun's direction.

These were the Tianshui Academy's competing team, or rather the Tianshui Girl Group.

"Really, he's truly a handsome guy… slurp…" the deputy captain Xue Wu's face showed a lecherous expression, even drooling.

The other members weren't any better; even their cold, aloof captain—Shui Bing'er—couldn't help glancing over.

Shui Yue'er, though a total fangirl, always has a keen eye; if she can rate someone as a handsome guy, he must truly be good looking.

However, Shui Bing'er looked twice before averting her gaze, acting very demure. Her eyes flickered, as if pondering something.

Although she's the youngest in the Tianshui Girl Group, she's the strongest, so the members always call her "senior sister," including her half‑sister Shui Yue'er.

As captain, she acts steadily and thinks about more issues.

The competition has been going on for about ten days; although she can't guarantee remembering every contestant's name and martial soul, she at least finds their faces familiar.

Now, suddenly seeing Yu Tianyun's fresh face, she feels a hint of puzzlement.

"Is he a secret weapon of some team? Or is the competition delayed because of something?" she mused.

But immediately her face darkened with shame, wishing she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

"Ah… I can't… just looking at this handsome guy makes me want to do… naughty things with him…"

Shui Yue'er covered her flushed cheek with one hand, clutched Xue Wu with the other, writhing like a maggot, causing the other girls to blush.

"Yue'er, could you watch your behavior a bit? This isn't a dormitory; many people are watching!" Xue Wu said helplessly.

However, hearing Xue Wu's hypocritical remark, Shui Yue'er bristled, her bright eyes flashing as she retorted, "Is that why you're always pleasuring yourself in the academy dorms?"

"……" Upon hearing that, Xue Wu—whose martial soul is Snowflake—suddenly flushed, even a wisp of vapor rose from her crown; she glared at Shui Yue'er through clenched teeth, "You brat! Is that something you can say out loud?"

Feeling more and more eyes focusing on them, Xue Wu wished she could peel back Shui Yue'er's spiritual cover to see what color her brain fluid was.

Seeing her teammates about to start a brawl over the handsome guy under everyone's gaze, Shui Bing'er hurriedly exerted her captain's authority, calling out sharply, "Both of you, be quiet!"

As Shui Bing'er's words fell, the surrounding temperature dropped by about ten degrees instantly.

Both knew Shui Bing'er was about to lose her temper, and quickly straightened up, sitting tall with chest out.

"If you dare do this again, after the competition ends you'll spend a month meditating against a wall, not leaving the academy a single step!" Hearing this, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, and even the other members straightened their backs a bit more, their full curves fully displayed.

Seeing this, Shui Bing'er lowered her stance, but her expression remained solemn, "That person is likely a major rival of ours; he's never appeared before, and I don't know which academy he's from, but my intuition says he's strong."

Speaking, Shui Bing'er couldn't help glancing at Yu Tianyun again, but she didn't make the same lecherous face as her teammates; instead, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Whenever she looks at Yu Tianyun, her martial soul stirs, sending her a mix of fear and longing.

Since she awakened her martial soul, this has never happened; she is full of curiosity about Yu Tianyun's identity.

"Yes." The members all nodded, even the most carefree Shui Yue'er focused, daring not to glance at Yu Tianyun again.

But deep down she kept muttering, "I really want to go flirt with him; he's truly good looking. Those Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, and Feng Xiaotian are nothing compared to him… they're just misshapen melons and cracked dates…"

Shui Yue'er had only looked at him for a brief moment, yet Yu Tianyun's voice and smiling face were etched in her heart like a tattoo, impossible to forget. She even already imagined what her future grandson's name would be.

Gradually, her pretty face flushed more, as if she was thinking of something exciting in her mind.

Suddenly, an abnormal blush spread across her face; feeling dampness somewhere, she hurriedly crossed and clenched her two pale jade legs, trying to suppress her inner turmoil.

Shui Bing'er's knuckles whitened as she pinched them, naturally noticing Shui Yue'er's odd behavior. Yet to spare Shui Yue'er some dignity, she chose to remain silent.

She let out a long sigh, her heart full of helplessness.

Having such a sister to deal with is really tough! (End of chapter)
