Chapter 71 Breakthrough to Soul King! Spatial Displacement, Heavenly Hand Power!
Jiang Nian's eyes were a little strange.
Why was his teacher holding a handkerchief?
Oh... she must have washed up this morning?
"Teacher, shall we eat something before we go look for soul beasts?"
Bibi Dong hummed in agreement, brought her thighs together, and slowly walked towards him.
Then, without saying a word, she prepared to enter the tent.
Jiang Nian rubbed his eyes in confusion. He seemed to see a pink glow?
Hmm?
It must be a bit cold, or maybe his eyes were playing tricks on him...
Not long after.
Jiang Nian took out a large pot and rice porridge from his storage space.
He added some water and started cooking.
After a dozen minutes, he channeled some cold air into it so it wouldn't be too hot to drink.
After serving two bowls, Bibi Dong also came out.
Jiang Nian glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and noticed that she had changed into new clothes, including pants.
"Teacher, let's eat."
"Mm."
Bibi Dong stepped forward, took the rice that Jiang Nian had served, and gulped it down.
Swaying her slender waist, something felt off.
After finishing their meal, the two resumed their search for spirit beasts.
At noon, in a fragrant garden, Jiang Nian spotted a robust spirit beast in the distance.
It was silvery-white, with two horns on its head and a pair of wings on its back.
It seemed… to possess the bloodline of a dragon spirit beast.
Jiang Nian's mind drifted to an extremely rare spirit beast: the Illusionary Yuan Beast.
It was said to have incredibly powerful control over spatial forces; even Title Douluo struggled to capture one over 50,000 years old.
This one, however, appeared to be only 30,000 years old…
"Teacher, let's take this one."
Jiang Nian was excited; after so many days of searching, they had finally found a suitable one.
Spatial attributes—he was really looking forward to it…
Bibi Dong nodded, instantly activating her domain and martial soul.
Sensing the threat of death, the Illusionary Beast immediately dodged more than ten meters away with incredible speed!
However, she was prepared. Her Martial Soul True Form descended, and its enormous pincers pierced the Illusionary Beast's body, rendering its struggles futile.
Bibi Dong quickly crippled it and tossed it in front of Jiang Nian.
"Kill it."
She withdrew her Martial Soul and scrutinized the little brat's expression.
Seeing no anomalies, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, she had never liked the appearance of her Martial Soul when it was in a crouching position, and had never shown it to Jiang Nian before.
But facing this Soul Beast with spatial attributes, she had no choice but to do so...
"Yes, teacher." The strange thought that had just surfaced in Jiang Nian's mind quickly vanished.
Such huge pincers, if he grabbed them... phew~ better absorb them quickly.
Jiang Nian finished off the dying Illusionary Beast with a single strike, then sat cross-legged and used his Soul Power to guide the Soul Rings that appeared on its corpse.
Bibi Dong watched patiently from the side.
Not long after...
He opened his eyes, a flash of silver light in his pupils, and a faint spatial fluctuation emanated from his body.
Besides his increased soul power, he had also grown taller.
Bibi Dong looked at Jiang Nian, who was now almost half a head taller than her, and felt a slight annoyance.
From now on, would she only be able to pinch his cheeks by looking up?
"Teacher, I've obtained a pretty good and practical soul skill," Jiang Nian said excitedly, leaning closer to her.
Hmm?
Why is he shorter?
From this angle, she could almost see the mounds on Bibi Dong's sides.
"Tell me about it," Jiang Nian said, gathering his thoughts and speaking truthfully.
"My fifth soul skill can perform spatial displacement, which means I can swap positions with objects I see, whether they are people, soul beasts, flowers, or plants... it works for everything."
"And it consumes very little soul power; I can swap about ten times in a short period of time without any problem."
Bibi Dong was shocked upon hearing this.
She knew immediately how practical this soul skill was.
Being able to swap positions with macroscopic objects meant that opponents didn't even have a chance to react.
With this alone, she was very confident that Jiang Nian could fight a Soul Saint.
Even if he couldn't win, escaping wouldn't be a problem.
"Not bad, what about the attribute bonuses?"
Jiang Nian: "There aren't many here, but the speed increase is 200%, and the displacement speed increases by 20% with each use."
"I named this soul skill—Heavenly Hand Power."
Bibi Dong glanced at him, not mentioning that she felt the name was a bit strange.
Xiao Nian's strength was getting stronger and stronger, which was gratifying.
Of course, she was also more worried and hesitant.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
"Hmm... nothing. Now that you've absorbed the spirit ring, burn this Illusionary Beast and see if a spirit bone drops."
Jiang Nian responded and began burning it.
Half a minute later, the two left.
It was a pity that no spirit bone dropped, otherwise Jiang Nian could have gained another wave of spirit power.
Soon, they prepared to take the carriage back to the Spirit Hall.
Usually, this time would be filled with laughter and joy.
However, this time, the atmosphere seemed somewhat tense.
Bibi Dong had a stern face, her gaze fixed outside, seemingly lost in thought.
Jiang Nian glanced at her twice but remained silent, consolidating his cultivation.
They traveled in silence.
When they returned to Spirit City, Jiang Nian helped Bibi Dong down from the carriage.
"Little Nian, in three days I will announce that you have become the new Holy Son of our Spirit Hall. At that time, your teacher will also help you obtain that spirit bone from the Hall of Offerings."
She originally wanted to say something more, but thinking that Jiang Nian would soon be leaving her, she silently felt a little resentful.
After tugging at his ear, she walked alone towards the Papal Palace.
The thank you she heard behind her made her feel a little better.
Jiang Nian watched Bibi Dong's figure recede into the distance and let out a long sigh.
Ah~ thinking about this bright future, he felt full of energy.
"Teacher is actually going to ask for it personally... I wonder which piece it will be?"
Jiang Nian stroked his chin, unable to guess, and turned to walk up the mountain.
He'd go home first; there was still plenty of time.
He could use this time to prepare; he planned to stay out longer.
He finally got out, shouldn't he enjoy himself?
On the ninety-nine steps, Jiang Nian saw the little golden retriever sitting on the mountaintop.
The girl had grown into a graceful young woman, wearing a light blue cotton-padded jacket, her whole being delicate and spirited.
Tilting her head, she stared at him with a bright smile, so full of life.
After reaching the mountaintop, Jiang Nian plopped down next to the little golden retriever. Seeing her still beaming, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you grinning like an idiot?"
"How can you talk like that!" Qian Renxue pouted, then tossed her snow-white neck and said sweetly, "Grandpa agreed to let me go out."
"So? Do you want me to come with you?"
Jiang Nian's lips twitched. It seemed she still wanted to be with him.
However, he refused.
It was convenient enough for one person; how could he allow two?
