Chapter 55: Absent?

Yu Tianyun, after a two‑year separation, finally managed to return to his own courtyard. Thinking of the three concubines he hadn't seen for two years, his steps couldn't help but quicken a few paces.

In an instant, Yu Tianyun sped like wind and lightning to the gentle nest he had longed for day and night.

That night, Yu Tianyun looked at the three women before him, who were becoming ever more mature, charming, and graceful—no, at this moment they should be called sexy, enchanting married women.

Yu Tianyun could no longer suppress the raging evil fire inside him and violently unleashed the desire he had hoarded for two years.

Before long, a melodious, delicate sob came from the room.

Yu Tianyun absorbed dragon souls and dragon clouds in the Dragon Valley, gaining many benefits and achieving a comprehensive boost. Naturally, he also inevitably picked up some draconic habits.

At this point, Yu Tianyun estimated that it would be hard to restrain another thought within themselves in the future. Their dragon qi was even richer than that of an ordinary true dragon, and the demand in that regard was exceedingly strong.

Although it doesn't affect cultivation like Ma Hongjun does, it does affect mood! If not released in time, Yu Tianyun's temperament becomes unusually irritable and violently ferocious. In such a state a person becomes extremely dangerous and prone to impulsive actions. Therefore, Yu Tianyun can only seize the chance to release it fully!

The next morning, Yu Tianyun gently brushed aside a few soft tendrils entwined on their body, got up, and washed. The three charming little sprites on the bed had been exhausted to the point of collapse last night and were still sleeping soundly. Yu Tianyun, however, felt refreshed and not at all fatigued.

After a quick tidy‑up, Yu Tianyun stepped out of the house. This time he was noticeably more composed than before. After all, his strength had now been endorsed by Yu Yuanzhen, enough to rival a Soul Douluo strongman. Though comparing the Soul Ancestor to a Soul Douluo is truly shocking, the fact stands.

Before entering the Dragon Valley, Yu Tianyun could already achieve Complete Dragon Transformation; the ages of his four Soul Rings were all obtained by surpassing limits, each crossing at least one major realm, and his fourth Soul Ring even crossed two major realms.

Even without activating Dragon Transformation, his Soul Ring configuration was enough to let him battle a Soul King, and all his Soul Rings amplified soul skills. When the four soul skills were simultaneously activated, every attribute of his body surged dramatically, making his strength incalculable. Coupled with his self‑created soul skill—Thunderclap Sword Finger, he could certainly compare with a Soul Emperor.

At this point, if he were to activate Complete Dragon Transformation again, it would be like a Soul Saint unlocking the true body of a martial soul. The only drawback might be the short endurance, but within that brief span his power jumps roughly three major realms, truly terrifying! Since leaving the Dragon Valley, his sole shortcoming—lack of durability—has also greatly improved.

While burying a true dragon's skeleton, Yu Tianyun's Dragon Transformation state was activated an unknown number of times, later even staying constantly on, bringing his control over blood‑Qi to a masterful level.

Moreover, the blood‑Qi power within him became countless times stronger than before he entered the Dragon Valley; now the Dragon Transformation is no longer a highly draining skill for him.

In addition, his Soul Rings, after Yu Yuanzhen's verification, had all been raised to about 57,000 years. The increase in ring age did not greatly boost the ring skills, but reduced soul power consumption! Compared with a rise in soul skill potency, the reduction in consumption is more practical for him. Moreover, he is now highly attuned to all elements, with extremely high elemental resistance. All these combined make his current strength truly comparable to a Soul Douluo strongman! This time Yu Tianyun did not take a carriage; he flew directly using Dragon Wings. His flight speed was swift as wind, reaching Nording City in just half a day.

Nording City's walls were not towering, but because it lay near the border of the Sky Battle Empire, the walls were built fairly thick and sturdy.

Yu Tianyun folded his Dragon Wings in a hidden spot, changed into a relatively plain garment, and after undergoing the usual inspection like any passerby, entered the city.

The Nording Primary Academy was situated on the western side of Nording City; after asking several passersby, Yu Tianyun finally arrived there. From afar, seeing the towering archway bearing the four characters "Nording Academy," Yu Tianyun felt a surge of excitement, for he was about to meet the so‑called protagonist and couldn't help feeling a bit curious.

"Excuse me, is the Master at Nording Academy? I am the Master's nephew, and I would like to see him." Yu Tianyun asked a young gatekeeper politely.

The youth, seeing that Yu Tianyun's attire was not lavish but noting his towering, robust physique and distinctive aura, recognized his extraordinary status. Moreover, hearing that Yu Tianyun was the Master's nephew—a Master who is a Soul Master! —he immediately became deferential and hurriedly replied, "Sir, unfortunately the Master left Nording Academy the day before yesterday; we have no idea where he went."

"The Master left? Then is his disciple still here? I'm talking about the academy's prodigy Soul Master Tang San!"

Yu Tianyun, hearing that his second uncle had already left, quickly asked whether Tang San was still there.

"Tang San left the academy the day before the Master departed. Sir, is there anything else you wish to ask?"

The gatehouse continued to answer with the same respectful courtesy.

"Nothing else, thank you."

Yu Tianyun gave his thanks and turned to leave, his mind continuously pondering:

"Both Tang San and my second uncle have left; it seems Tang Hao likely left with them, so I'll take A Yin, ha ha ha!"

An involuntary, devilish smile spread across Yu Tianyun's face.

A Yin, as a Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Form, is roughly on par with Xiao Wu among Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts, essentially the weakest among them. Yu Tianyun could not think of any Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast weaker than the two, yet he coveted their soul bones greatly!

A Yin is Tang Hao's wife and Tang San's mother, discovered by the Spirit Hall as she was about to enter her maturation stage.

The former Pope, the legendary secret‑room Douluo—Qian Xunji—who many men coveted, personally led a team to capture A Yin. In the end, A Yin was sacrificed to Tang Hao; Qian Xunji was gravely wounded, cementing Tang Hao's Hao‑Tian Douluo reputation, while A Yin left behind a seed and a soul bone.

That soul bone is a Hundred Thousand Year soul bone; although Yu Tianyun now has a lofty perspective and ordinary Hundred Thousand Year soul bones do not catch his eye, he is a man who already possesses a Dragon King soul bone!

Yet he craved A Yin's soul bone intensely; it has two skills, one being "Flight," which for Yu Tianyun is merely a bonus, eliminating the need for torn clothing thereafter! The other, "Wildfire Unending, Spring Breeze Revives," truly makes Yu Tianyun drool.

There is also Xiao Wu's soul bone; it's unclear whether it grants a fixed soul skill, but Xiao Wu's abilities even surpass A Yin's soul bone skills, being top‑tier. Among Xiao Wu's several skills, Invincible Golden Body, Instant Teleport, and Void are considered the supreme lifesaving arts!

Tang San is truly lucky! His wife and mother are absolute top‑grade! He really wants them!
