In mid-air,Chen Xin, riding the Seven Kill Sword, flew out of the forest with Dongfang Yao.
"Disciple, I guess your second soul skill is a skill that can plunder the soul power of others to replenish yourself, right?"
Chen Xin had noticed something amiss while watching the battle, which is why he intervened in time.
Dongfang Yao nodded: "Master guessed correctly. This soul skill is called 'Starlight Mark.' As long as the attack hits, even if it is blocked, it will mark the enemy with a mark that lasts for five seconds, while simultaneously drawing 10% of the opponent's soul power to replenish my body."
She continued to explain with lingering fear:
"If I hit the enemy five times in a row before the mark disappears, it will cause true damage equivalent to 10% of my own attack power!"
"True damage!" Chen Xin was slightly surprised.
"As expected of a soul skill brought by a mutated soul beast, it's truly domineering! To avoid being marked, one can't take it head-on, only dodge?!"
Chen Xin had already thought that when Dongfang Yao became a Title Douluo, her soul power would be at its peak, allowing her to use this relatively low-cost millennium soul skill multiple times.
Against a fellow Title Douluo soul master, if the opponent was careless, they would inevitably be injured by this 10% true damage!
He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had acted in time.
Otherwise, if that wolf had accumulated enough marks to cause true damage, Yao'er might have lost her life!
"However, the result is good in the end." Chen Xin smiled with relief.
"Yes!" Dongfang Yao nodded with a smile, letting the cool breeze caress her cheeks.
Her gaze unconsciously drifted towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
'Brother, Yao'er won't tell you the details of this soul skill yet.'
'When you come to pick me up... hehe! I'll definitely give you a surprise!'
'Sigh, I wonder how brother is doing now? The letter said his master is very gentle, is that true?' Is she a woman?
'Could it be that the other person is bullying my brother every day?'
The core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The habitat of the Emerald Swan clan was shrouded in the tranquil night.
Stars dotted the sky, and a crescent moon hung above the treetops.
The campfire crackled, and occasionally the soft calls of swans could be heard.
Dongfang Jing slowly opened his eyes in a daze.
'Strange, why am I…'
As his vision gradually cleared, the first thing he saw was two tall, well-defined peaks.
Instinctively, his gaze lingered there, momentarily forgetting to look away.
It was only natural; he couldn't be blamed.
At that moment, a slender hand touched his cheek, two fingers gently pinching it.
A delicate fragrance wafted into his nose, making him want to take a deep breath.
'Awake?' A gentle voice sounded in his ear.
Dongfang Jing nodded, his gaze passing over the graceful curves to meet his master's beautiful face with a gentle smile.
He then realized he was resting his head on Bi Ji's lap. The soft touch on the back of his head made him feel completely relaxed, and he didn't want to get up at all.
Bi Ji looked at her disciple's obedient appearance, her smile deepening, and she gently stroked his silver hair.
Gradually, an indescribable peace welled up in Dongfang Jing's heart.
At this moment, Bi Ji didn't seem like his master, but rather possessed a motherly warmth.
Seeing her disciple remain silent for a long time, Bi Ji looked down, her eyes widening slightly, almost imperceptibly.
She stopped rubbing his hair, her fair hand sliding down his reddened ear, gently cupping his face.
Feeling the slightly warm touch in her palm, Bi Ji lowered her eyes and asked softly, "Why is your face red? Are you still feeling unwell?"
"I...I'm fine," Dongfang Jing stammered, secretly circulating his soul power, trying to calm his rapidly beating heart.
But being so close to Bi Ji, feeling her playful pinching of his cheek, coupled with her lingering fragrance, made his heart beat even faster.
"Master, did my connection with the auspicious beast succeed?" Dongfang Jing quickly changed the subject, as this was indeed what he was concerned about.
When he circulated his soul power earlier, he found that his body was normal, his mental strength had not increased, and he was no different from before.
Most importantly, he couldn't remember anything that happened during the connection.
Bi Ji gently shook her head, meeting the clear yet embarrassed gaze of her disciple on her lap: "It failed, and I don't know why. Perhaps... Heaven doesn't want you to be too deeply involved with the soul beast race."
As she said this, her expression clearly dimmed, her eyes slightly red, and her tone was full of guilt: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have suggested the connection, causing you to be unconscious for three whole days."
Dongfang Jing was slightly shocked. He had actually been unconscious for so long?
But seeing Bi Ji's self-reproachful appearance, he felt that none of this mattered anymore.
"Even without auspicious omens, your disciple will surely fulfill your dream! If I can't do it in a short time, I'll dedicate my whole life to it."
Before he could finish speaking, a slender finger gently pressed against his lips.
Bi Ji's expression turned serious, her tone becoming stern: "Little Mirror, you have your own life to live. Before, you cultivated diligently to protect your sister, but now, your master hopes you can think more about yourself!"
"But…"
"Hmm?!" Bi Ji deliberately put on a stern face, this usually gentle woman revealing a fierce expression.
Of course, she was pretending.
Dongfang Jing found it novel; this was the first time he had seen his master like this. He nodded obediently, deeply remembering her words.
Bi Ji then smiled again: "A good disciple is one who listens~"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but pinch his burning cheeks.
Dongfang Jing felt slightly uncomfortable, thinking:How can a dignified man indulge in such tenderness?
But then he thought,he was only ten years old, still a child.
Enjoying it a little wouldn't hurt.
"Master, will forcing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to guide us...?"
Bi Ji paused for a moment, then shook her head. "It's alright. Since the attribute guidance failed, the child won't be affected in any way. The Star Dou Great Forest's fortune remains intact on it."
Dongfang Jing actually wanted to ask if Bi Ji herself would be implicated.
But Bi Ji had already changed the subject: "Your soul power will reach level forty in a few days. Have you decided what soul beast you want to hunt?"
Dongfang Jing understood and shook his head in agreement: "I'll leave it all to Master's arrangements."
"Yes, I'll bring a suitable soul beast then. You only need to complete the last step."
Bi Ji planned to search the forest for soul beasts nearing their end or suffering from incurable diseases.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they must be suitable for Dongfang Jing's martial soul.
During the three days Dongfang Jing was unconscious, Bi Ji understood many things.
As a master, helping her disciple acquire a soul ring was her duty.
Although she couldn't bear to do it herself, she could ask other guardians for help.
More importantly, despite the failed attempt to connect with the auspicious beast's attributes, she still believed that Dongfang Jing possessed the potential to become a god.
Besides his astonishing talent for cultivation, what concerned Biji even more was the golden eye that appeared in his spiritual world.
She didn't know what it was,and understood that it wasn't a realm she could fathom;she could only wait for Dongfang Jing to unravel this mystery himself.
