Chapter 24 The 2-Year-Old Soul King
Yang Jian put down the letter, leaned back in his chair, and gazed out the window in a daze.
Six years.
For the past six years, his schedule has been packed. During the day, he goes to the library to read books and occasionally cultivates under the guidance of Yue Guan. At night, he practices the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts without fail.
Day after day, he worked tirelessly, almost without a single day of slackening.
The improvement in strength was obvious, but correspondingly, Yang Jian had not returned to Weihai City for six years and had not seen her brother and sister.
"It's time to go back and take a look."
Yang Jian made up his mind and carefully put the two letters into the ring on his hand. This was a storage soul tool given to him by Yue Guan, which had a space of thirty cubic meters.
He picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began to eat breakfast.
They ate very quickly, finishing off all the food on the table in no time.
He put down his chopsticks, stood up, and prepared to go find Bibi Dong.
Although Bibi Dong had hardly personally taught him in the past six years, Yue Guan had always been in charge of his cultivation.
But the other party was, after all, his teacher in name only.
He should have informed the Spirit Hall of his intention to leave, both morally and logically.
I had just reached the door.
He hadn't had time to open the door yet.
The courtyard gate was pushed open.
"Yang Jian!" A clear voice rang out, tinged with joy.
Hu Liena stood at the courtyard gate, her light purple dress perfectly outlining her slender figure. Her chestnut hair was draped over her shoulders, the ends slightly curled, swaying gently with her movements.
Eighteen-year-old Hu Liena has shed her girlish naiveté and gained a more mature and charming demeanor.
Her features were already exquisite, but now that she's grown up, she's breathtakingly beautiful.
Her skin was as white as snow, so delicate it seemed to break at a touch; a smile played at the corners of her lips, exuding a natural charm and a fatal attraction.
Since Bibi Dong had Yue Guan teach Yang Jian, she also brought Hu Liena along.
The two spent almost every day together.
We trained together, read books together, and sparred together at the martial arts arena.
After six years of living and working together, their relationship had long surpassed that of ordinary classmates.
More than friends, but not quite lovers.
That's roughly the situation.
"Are you free today? Come shopping with me." Hu Liena walked into the courtyard with a smile and stood naturally next to Yang Jian. "A new store opened in the west of the city. I heard they have a lot of good stuff."
"Not today," Yang Jian shook her head. "I need to speak with my teacher."
Hu Liena blinked, her smile fading slightly, revealing a hint of regret.
"Oh, I see..." She suddenly realized something, and her eyes lit up again. "Are you going to find your teacher and ask her to help you hunt for your fifth spirit ring?"
She looked at Yang Jian, her tone carrying a complex mix of emotions.
She knew that Yang Jian had broken through to level 50 some time ago.
A twelve-year-old Soul King—it's absurd to even talk about.
It should be noted that when Yang Jian first came to the Spirit Hall six years ago, she was only level 32, far ahead of Yang Jian.
But now, she's level 46, and Yang Jian is level 50.
They were overtaken immediately.
Hu Liena looked at the boy in front of her who was six years younger than her.
A strange emotion flashed in his eyes.
She wasn't jealous, but rather had a feeling that was hard to explain.
Over the past six years, she has watched Yang Jian grow up step by step, from that thin and pale little boy to the heroic and extraordinary young man he is today.
She witnessed every breakthrough and every increase in strength.
"That's right."
Yang Jian nodded, not denying it, "I do have the idea of obtaining a fifth spirit ring."
His second, third, and fourth spirit rings are all ten thousand years.
Moreover, they all come from the Titan Ape clan.
Among them, the fourth spirit ring was used to hunt down a Titan Giant Ape that was 99,900 years old.
Now, for the fifth spirit ring, it's natural to choose one that lasts 100,000 years.
Erming from the Starry Sky Forest was naturally the most suitable target.
But after some consideration...
Yang Jian felt that they could focus on other things first.
Xiao Wu.
That 100,000-year-old soul beast that had taken human form.
If we can control it, we can not only intercept Tang San's major opportunity ahead of time, but also use it to blackmail Da Ming and Er Ming, making it easier to obtain the fifth spirit ring.
More importantly, Xiao Wu's soul bone skills perfectly suit his needs.
Especially teleportation.
This skill, combined with the attack power of the three-pointed double-edged sword, enhances its effectiveness.
Mobility in combat will see a qualitative leap.
As for Xiao Wu's 100,000-year soul ring.
That would be suitable for the Howling Celestial Dog.
Yang Jian snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Hu Liena, who was staring at her face. "I'm going to find the teacher now. I'll go shopping with you another day."
Hu Liena nodded and watched him walk out of the courtyard gate, then suddenly called out from behind.
"Yang Jian".
"Hmm?" Yang Jian turned around in confusion.
Hu Liena hesitated for a moment, then simply smiled and waved her hand.
"It's alright, go early and come back early."
Feeling bewildered, Yang Jian turned and continued walking towards the Papal Palace.
Hu Liena stood there, watching his figure gradually disappear. After a long while, she looked away, sighed softly, and a trace of emotion that she herself did not notice flashed in her eyes.
……
After saying goodbye to Hu Liena, Yang Jian walked along the bluestone path towards the Papal Palace.
The Spirit Hall was quiet and solemn in the early morning. Occasionally, a few patrolling guards would pass by, and they would all nod respectfully when they saw him.
Yang Jian nodded slightly in response, but was already thinking about something else.
If the plot doesn't change.
Tang San and Xiao Wu should have already joined Shrek Academy.
According to the original timeline, Tang San seems to have obtained the Eight Spider Lances about a month after joining Shrek Academy, while hunting the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
Although he himself couldn't use the Eight Spider Lances, he absolutely couldn't leave them to Tang San.
Therefore, we must intercept it.
In addition, there are the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor... all these opportunities must be intercepted before Tang San.
Yang Jian's gaze gradually sharpened.
To be honest, Tang San never provoked him.
From the time he transmigrated until now, he has never even met Tang San once.
But it is not important.
He is now a member of the Spirit Hall, while Tang San is destined to become the gravedigger of the Spirit Hall, destroying it, establishing the Tang Sect, and ultimately becoming a god and ascending to immortality.
From beginning to end, Yang Jian did not consider the Spirit Hall to be any kind of villain.
At least in the eyes of ordinary people, the Spirit Hall has done a good job.
Free awakening of martial souls for ordinary people, distribution of soul master subsidies, and cleansing of the fallen... these tangible benefits are something that no other force has ever done.
It's important to understand that in the era of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect, ten thousand years later, awakening a martial soul was harder than climbing to heaven for ordinary people. Countless people spent their entire lives without ever knowing if they were qualified to become a soul master.
Why is this happening?
Because the Spirit Hall was destroyed by Tang San.
Furthermore, because Tang San personally destroyed the City of Slaughter, the Fallen Ones, also known as Evil Soul Masters, lost their restraint and ran rampant across the continent, causing immense suffering to the people.
If we really have to say what's wrong with the Spirit Hall...
The image of Bibi Dong appeared in Yang Jian's mind.
This nominal teacher is eccentric in his actions. If he were to truly unify the continent in the future, who knows what he might accomplish?
But that's a matter for later.
At least for now, Yang Jian has chosen to stand on the side of the Spirit Hall.
Thinking this, we arrived at the Papal Palace.
Yang Jian stopped, looked up at the magnificent building, took a deep breath, and stepped inside.
