Chapter 7: Second Profession Choice, The Number One Soul Spirit Extortionist (Part 1)

Light dispelled the darkness, and Zhao Xuanzhen sat up from the metal cabinet. The light reflected by the metal room was quite dazzling, so he subconsciously closed his eyes. After opening them again, three scorching gazes entered his eyes, as if they wanted to shoot through his body and explore what secrets were hidden inside.

"You look like you're going to eat me." Zhao Xuanzhen tightened his clothes, feeling a chill in his heart.

"A thousand-year Human-Faced Demon Spider!"

"You killed it with your own power!"

Azure and green, two pairs of beautiful eyes were shining brightly. Bai Haoze and Bai Zhicen admitted that they couldn't do what Zhao Xuanzhen did with the same soul power; just surviving the first wave of the Wind Baboon tribe would be enough!

"Just luck."

Zhao Xuanzhen didn't care; it was just a basic operation.

"It's not luck, it's absolute strength." Leng Yaozhu walked over and rubbed Zhao Xuanzhen's black hair. "Formal classes start tomorrow."

"Okay, Teacher."

"Entering the Spirit Ascension Platform to hunt soul beasts is extremely exhausting for the mind. You should go back and meditate and rest earlier..."

Halfway through her sentence, Leng Yaozhu remembered something. She reached into her storage soul guidance device, took out a white jade porcelain bottle, handed it to Zhao Xuanzhen, and said gently:

"Profound Water Pill, a medicinal pill refined by the Xuanming Sect using the blood essence and medicinal herbs of dozens of water-attribute soul beasts. The medicinal effect is mellow and long-lasting, washing the marrow and cutting the bones, raising a soul master's innate soul power by one level."

Soul beasts are gradually withering, and the price of Profound Water Pills is rising. Even at a million Federation coins per pill at an auction, they are still in short supply. Leng Yaozhu originally worried that Zhao Xuanzhen's talent was not good, so she personally visited the Xuanming Sect, but her own disciple directly awakened into a monster.

"The Profound Water Pill shouldn't be of much use to me."

Zhao Xuanzhen naturally remembered the medicinal pill that changed Huo Yuhao's talent ten thousand years ago, but he had Innate Full Soul Power, and at the same time, the True Self gave him a pure and powerful body.

Raise innate soul power by one level?

Pfft, useless stuff!

Leng Yaozhu was calm: "Since you've taken it, just treat it like candy."

So rich and inhumane!

Zhao Xuanzhen sighed that he had become a 'dog tycoon' in this life. On one hand, he honestly pulled out the jade bottle stopper and threw a Profound Water Pill into his mouth.

AUV, it tastes 'tree tree' (good)!

The effect was as expected, negligible. After tasting the saltiness of the Profound Water Pill, Zhao Xuanzhen bid farewell to Leng Yaozhu and the three women, took the elevator back to the ninety-ninth floor, and summoned the Auspicious Capybara as soon as he entered the door.

The Auspicious Capybara's cultivation leaped from six hundred years to a thousand years, its aura becoming increasingly condensed and heavy. Its body changes were not significant, but the Yin-Yang imprint on its forehead shone much deeper, and the Bagua runes were faintly visible.

"Capybara, are you comprehending my Qimen Taoist art?" Zhao Xuanzhen asked.

Soul spirits with excellent talent can learn various abilities of soul masters. The 'Rou Tu Limit Douluo' Jiang Nannan's 'Rouge Soft-Muscle Python' is the most famous, learning a set of soft techniques as well as top-tier soul skills like Invincible Golden Body and Teleportation. The Auspicious Capybara seems to be heading toward Qimen Taoist art.

"Too complicated, can't understand." The Auspicious Capybara shook its head. "I can only slowly communicate with heaven and earth through the Yin-Yang attribute to comprehend elemental power, unable to command nature as freely as you."

"That's fine."

Hearing that the Auspicious Capybara couldn't use Bagua Qimen, Zhao Xuanzhen felt relieved. The Qimen Bureau is extremely dangerous and very easy to get immersed in and difficult to extricate oneself from. He was afraid that the Auspicious Capybara would follow in the footsteps of the losers.

"Human, do you realize your fortune has changed?" The Auspicious Capybara looked up at Zhao Xuanzhen.

"Fortune?" Zhao Xuanzhen was startled.

"After fusing, the luck contained in my body is shared with you. According to my perception, your fortune is fluctuating sharply. The last time I was like this, the next day humans raided the Star Dou Great Forest, and then I became a soul spirit..."

"The theory of luck is not credible!" Zhao Xuanzhen said firmly.

"Your fortune is exactly the opposite of mine. There must be auspiciousness descending within a day."

"Then it must be believed."

Zhao Xuanzhen changed his words instantly: "Could it be that a million-year soul beast is coming to sacrifice itself tonight?"

"That's very greedy."

The Auspicious Capybara was stunned for a long time before saying dully. Taking auspiciousness as a divine dragon to make wishes—adventurous human, you are really adventurous!

Night fell, and Zhao Xuanzhen, holding the expectation of auspiciousness descending from heaven, ate, went to bed, and meditated to cultivate.

Heart like still water, all thoughts empty, meridians wandering, moving with Qi, weekly circulation, returning to the dantian.

Early morning, 100th floor of the Spirit Tower headquarters, Tianfeng Limit Douluo's residence.

Warm sun passed through the velvet curtains, soaking the marble floor into golden amber. The crystal chandelier in the center of the hall hung down thousands of prisms, each refraction carving golden-red light marks in the air.

Leng Yaozhu sat on the sofa, time unable to leave any traces on that beautiful face. Her crimson hair poured down like a waterfall, and under her long eyebrows like distant mountains was a pair of crimson pupils, flowing quietly like water waves.

"Teacher."

A knock on the door rang out, and the boy's clear voice came from outside.

A smile appeared on her beautiful face. Leng Yaozhu waved her hand, and the door creaked open. Sunlight spilled onto the floor, and the handsome boy came against the light, in cyan crane-patterned clothing, his black hair tied up simply, with a capybara beside him.

Zhao Xuanzhen's gaze fell on Leng Yaozhu. She was wearing a pure white long dress today, without any mixed colors, her aura quiet and distant.

The master and disciple sat opposite each other, the capybara lying beside Zhao Xuanzhen. Leng Yaozhu spoke first: "First meditation cultivation, is the soul power circulation smooth? Is there any stagnation?"

"Everything is going well."

Zhao Xuanzhen's cultivation was very different from mainstream soul masters, adding the tricks of past-life Taoist arts, which was the most suitable meditation method for his own growth.

"That's good." Leng Yaozhu nodded. "I thought about it all night last night, where exactly should I teach you from."

"Physique is powerful, close-combat techniques are beginning to show the bearing of a grandmaster, and the ability to mobilize heaven and earth for one's own use is unheard of, and your abilities have formed a system."

"Awakening such superior talent, Ling and Liuyun must be happy for you if they have spirits in heaven."

Mentioning his parents in this life, ripples appeared in Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes. Although Leng Yaozhu kept silent about the cause of their deaths, having memories far exceeding ordinary infants after reincarnation, Zhao Xuanzhen knew everything from beginning to end. That was a snow mountain, his parents were soldiers of the Blood God Legion, guarding the abyss passage for more than ten years, and finally died in the abyss tide.

They had spent less than a day together. If he said the relationship was deep, it would be hypocritical. But Zhao Xuanzhen respected and honored the two of them; they were heroes who died guarding the common people of the Limit Douluo Continent.

The Blood God Legion guarded the abyss for thousands of years, sacrificing countless soldiers one after another. The final 'hammer' easily settled it, adding a few tragic colors to the heroes.

God saved Limit Douluo from fire and water.

As for why Limit Douluo fell into fire and water...

Don't ask!

Now, Zhao Xuanzhen had no means to confront the gods, so some thoughts could only be buried deep in his heart...

Bide his time, and seize the heavenly timing again!

Leng Yaozhu saw the change in her disciple's emotions and felt that perhaps she shouldn't have mentioned the deceased, so she changed the subject: "Xuanzhen, your martial soul path only needs to develop step by step. Teacher will talk to you today about the pinnacle of soul guidance technology..."

"Doukai."
