The next day, early morning.
Lin Yu and Qian Daoliu set out early toward the Star Fighting Great Forest.
The Soul Martial City is relatively close to the Star Fighting Great Forest; by carriage, it takes a bit more than a day to arrive.
On the carriage,
Qian Daoliu began his first lesson for Lin Yu: "Xiaoyu, do you know the three essential elements required to become a powerful soul master given innate conditions?"
"Please instruct me, Teacher," Lin Yu humbly asked.
"First, determine your cultivation direction and choose the most suitable soul ring."
"Second, have sufficiently strong combat ability, skills, and awareness — this is very important. If you don't know how to fight, even if you have a strong martial soul and soul skills, you cannot become a true expert at your level."
"Third, cultivate a calm and composed fighting mindset."
"The mentality in battles between soul masters is crucial. If you face an opponent of equal strength, mindset almost determines victory or defeat."
"If your mind is disturbed, you lose calmness and become impulsive, you will unconsciously expose flaws, which your enemy will seize to kill you instantly!"
Qian Daoliu spoke seriously and sternly, continuing: "So, after we return, I will focus on training your combat ability, awareness, and mindset."
"I understand, Teacher."
Qian Daoliu asked, "Now let's talk about the first factor — what kind of soul beast's soul ring do you think suits you best?"
Lin Yu thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm, I think first is the attribute, second is the type and bloodline of the soul beast, and what abilities it possesses."
"Not bad. Looks like you have a solid theoretical foundation about soul masters," Qian Daoliu nodded secretly and explained further: "You absorb soul rings that match the attribute of your martial soul."
"And the soul skills you gain probably relate to the soul beast's abilities, characteristics, and skills, combined with your martial soul."
"For example, if you have a defensive-type martial soul and you choose a soul beast with strong defense, you will likely obtain soul skills related to defense."
"Teacher, do you already have a soul beast in mind that suits me best?"
"Of course. There's a soul beast that perfectly matches your Elemental Angel martial soul."
Curious, Lin Yu asked, "Which one?"
"The Seven-Colored Spiritual Bird. It has the same seven attributes as you do. This soul beast is rare and hard to find, but don't worry, with my spiritual power, spending some time to find it is just a matter of when, not if."
"Oh, right." While talking, Qian Daoliu suddenly recalled something and smiled kindly: "Xiaoyu, in a while Xiaoxue will come back. You haven't met Xiaoxue yet, right? I will bring you two to meet each other then."
Actually, Lin Yu had seen Qian Renxue, but that was four years ago.
"Ah? Teacher, didn't you say the young master went undercover at Tiandou Palace? He can come back?"
Qian Daoliu sighed: "There's always time and opportunity, but she can only come back once or twice a year, and each time only for a few days at most."
"Alright, we're almost there. Get ready to enter the forest."
"Okay!"
After a short while, the two finally reached the edge of the Star Fighting Great Forest.
Led by Qian Daoliu, they quickly entered it.
All the soul beasts they encountered didn't even dare approach, simply sensing the aura of a powerful expert radiating from Qian Daoliu was enough to scare them away.
Lin Yu, entering such a dangerous soul beast forest for the first time, was not worried at all; instead, he was full of curiosity about the world these soul beasts lived in.
Because the man standing beside him was
a level 99 titled Douluo, known as an invincible existence in the sky.
At level 99, his spiritual power was extremely strong; Qian Daoliu only needed to sweep around to detect any presence.
However, the Seven-Colored Spiritual Bird was indeed very rare.
The two searched for seven days and nights without finding any trace.
Until the eighth day.
Qian Daoliu's spiritual power finally detected a Seven-Colored Spiritual Bird.
"Found it! Xiaoyu, go!"
Qian Daoliu immediately grabbed Lin Yu's waist and with a swift motion, flew out.
Then, without the Seven-Colored Spiritual Bird noticing, they arrived behind a large tree about fifty meters away.
Lin Yu's gaze fell upon a huge rock ahead, where stood a giant bird about one meter tall, displaying seven colors.
Qian Daoliu observed carefully, furrowing his brow: "Tsk, unfortunately, this Seven-Colored Spiritual Bird's cultivation age has probably exceeded 600 years, roughly around 650 years. Forget it, let's find another one."
"Teacher, I think 650 years is fine."
"I know your constitution is extraordinary, and absorbing a 500-year soul ring won't be a problem, but 650 years is too dangerous — not to be attempted!"
Lin Yu gave the most reasonable explanation: "My martial soul seems to tell me the limit of how many years' soul ring I can absorb. Teacher, trust me, it's no problem."
????
Really? The martial soul is that powerful?
It can even tell you the maximum years you can absorb?
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely sure."
"Alright then, it's decided!"
Qian Daoliu lightly waved his palm, and a strand of angelic feather condensed from bright elemental energy.
The feather precisely struck the Seven-Colored Spiritual Bird.
Whoosh!
Pffft!
After just one strike, this nearly 700-year-old soul beast completely lost its ability to move.
Lin Yu's only thought was: strong!
"Go ahead, Xiaoyu."
"Okay."
Lin Yu drew the dagger at his waist, walked up to the Seven-Colored Spiritual Bird, hesitated for two seconds, then quickly ended its life with a slash.
He then quickly sat cross-legged, preparing to absorb the soul ring.
One hour later.
Watching Lin Yu's aura gradually stabilize, Qian Daoliu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This kid really is unusual — 650 years! He absorbed it successfully."
Lin Yu opened his eyes, feeling an uncontrollable surge of power and excitement.
"Not bad, your soul power has risen by four levels at once," Qian Daoliu nodded silently, then asked, "So, Xiaoyu, what soul skill did you gain?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's lips curved slightly in a smile: "My first soul skill is called Elemental Mastery."
"Elemental Mastery?"
"It means my control over the seven elemental attributes is raised to 100%, and I can also manipulate elemental forces other than my own!"
"For example, like this!"
"First soul skill, Elemental Mastery."
"Wind Element Mastery."
Lin Yu opened his palm and summoned wind attribute soul power; the natural wind around quickly gathered in his palm, continuously condensing and compressing, forming a spinning wind sphere similar to Naruto's Rasengan in the Naruto world.
He then struck forward, slapping a nearby tree.
Bang!
The tree was punched through with a large hole on the spot, the power was astonishing!
Qian Daoliu's expression changed.
"Or it could be like this!"
