The distance between Donghai City and Tianhai City is quite far. This time, their soul-guided bus was traveling on the soul-guided highway.
The soul-guided highway utilizes magnetic levitation technology and soul-guided technology, which can greatly increase the speed of the soul-guided bus, reaching half the speed of a soul-guided train. For shorter distances, it's even more convenient than a soul-guided train.
Even so, the journey from Donghai City to Tianhai City still takes about four hours by soul-guided bus.
Along the way, Lin Xiuran simply closed his eyes to rest, seemingly dozing, but actually immersed in his spiritual sea.
He had now reached level 30. This wasn't an exaggeration for him; Lin Xiuran's cultivation speed had always been fast, but he had been stuck at level 20 without acquiring a soul ring, so he hadn't made any progress. But now that he had acquired a soul ring, his accumulated soul power exploded, directly increasing his level by several levels. Then, the past few months of diligent cultivation, and the further increase in cultivation speed after awakening the Phoenix bloodline, allowed his soul power to directly reach level 30.
Of course, it wasn't an exaggeration for him, but for others, it was far too exaggerated. This cultivation speed was simply too fast.
You must know that some Soul Masters of the same level might only reach one or two levels even after a year of cultivation, while those with good talent might
reach several levels. But someone like Lin Xiuran was truly rare among Soul Masters.
"My third Soul Ring controls the element of water?"
Lin Xiuran slowly looked at the ice-blue sphere before him and asked curiously.
Gu Yuena nodded: "It is indeed the element of water, you can also call it the element of ice."
As his power gradually sublimated, a blue circle surrounded him at the center, then suddenly brightened, as if his entire spiritual sea had been frozen.
"This absorption was so fast."
Lin Xiuran absorbed the water element power given to him by Gu Yuena in just a few minutes, and then condensed his Soul Ring.
"Does it get faster as you progress?" Lin Xiuran asked.
Gu Yuena shook her head slightly: "Actually, no, quite the opposite. The later the elemental awakening, the more difficult it becomes, and the more elemental power is required."
"Then why am I faster this time than last time?"
Gu Yuena explained: "The reason it's so fast this time is largely because during your month-long sparring with Wu Changkong, you absorbed some of his ice elemental attacks. It also allowed your body to receive the aura of ice element earlier. With external help, it was much easier for me to transfer ice elemental power to you from within this time, which is why it's so fast this time."
This makes sense, since not only is elemental power harder to improve as you progress, but even soul power becomes difficult to increase. This is probably the reason.
"Alright, I'll help you practice your ice element control after you get to your room tonight."
"Okay." Lin Xiuran agreed, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Sister Na, I still think it's necessary to remind you, that person outside seems a bit off."
Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
"Isn't he being too close to humans? After all, you're the Silver Dragon King, half of the Dragon God. How could you be like this with humans?"
Lin Xiuran's reminder was very subtle. As a transmigrator, he naturally knew everything. But he couldn't say it to Gu Yuena directly.
So he could only give a subtle reminder. After all, Gu Yuena had been helping him wholeheartedly during this time, very earnest and meticulous. She didn't have any airs of a Dragon King; on the contrary, he felt she was a bit too gentle.
Gu Yuena's eyes held a hint of bitterness as she softly said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Since the reminder was appropriate, Lin Xiuran felt relieved. In any case, the decision was up to her. If she needed his help, he would help her. But now, it was up to her to decide.
After Lin Xiuran left, the girl with long pink and blue hair finally appeared.
Tang Wutong looked at the scene outside and shook her head: "Sister Na, Xiuran is right. I've wanted to ask this for a long time, how can you just let you and my brother be so close outside?" "Although I don't know the specifics, if she regains that memory, how much she'll regret it,"
Tang Wutong said, glancing at Gu Yuena with a hint of pity.
Gu Yuena replied helplessly, "If I interfere, Tang Wulin will definitely notice."
Gu Yuena knew that she and Tang Wulin were being manipulated by that worthless God King. She couldn't act rashly.
"I can never truly make up for the past, and I don't even dare to hope that I can stand with Xiu Ran again."
Her purple eyes welled with tears as she said this. "As long as I can protect him in this life, that's enough."
After a long silence, she looked outside. "Regardless, she has her own choices, and although we are the same person, we are not truly the same. I can't interfere; doing so would be unfair to Xiu Ran."
"What I can guarantee is that I won't let him be hurt again. I've used almost all my strength to help Xiu Ran conceal those threads of fate, preventing his true identity from being discovered."
This is why Gu Yuena, knowing the danger Tang San was in, still allowed Lin Xiu Ran to approach Gu Yue and Tang Wulin. At least Tang San wouldn't be able to tell anything from the surface; as long as the threads of fate were concealed, his divine sense would be even less likely to detect it.
Moreover, she didn't want to take the risk of interfering with her own existence outside. She was content to be able to accompany Lin Xiu Ran as he grew. She didn't ask for more.
She couldn't predict too much about the future. As long as Lin Xiuran could grow up, that was enough.
Tang Wutong sighed deeply beside her and whispered comfortingly, "Don't worry, Sister Na, I'm here."
Meanwhile, outside, after Lin Xiuran's consciousness emerged from his spiritual sea, he slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed.
At the same time, a glint of icy blue light flashed in his pupils, and an invisible pale blue ripple spread outwards.
Wu Changkong, sitting in front of the soul-guided bus, seemed to suddenly sense something, looking over with surprise.
Lin Xiuran gently moved his arm, but suddenly touched a cool body. His eyes widened suddenly. He
suddenly sensed something was wrong. He remembered sitting alone, with an empty seat next to him, but why was someone there?
When Lin Xiuran looked over, the person next to him also looked over.
Black hair, black eyes, a long ponytail, and a neat school uniform. Although not exceptionally beautiful, she possessed an extraordinary air of elegance.
Gu Yue!
Gu Yue slightly withdrew her gaze from Lin Xiuran, smiled gently, and then explained before Lin Xiuran could ask,
"Wu Wulin fell asleep, so I gave him my seat to lie down. This was the only empty seat on the bus, so I sat here."
"Did I disturb you?"
Lin Xiuran shook his head, then said, "It's alright."
Gu Yue asked curiously, "You broke through?"
"Yes." Lin Xiuran raised an eyebrow slightly, not surprised that she had sensed it, and simply nodded.
Most people who had just broken through had fluctuations in soul power, and Gu Yue's powerful spiritual energy could naturally sense it; this was not unexpected.
