Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

Seeing that Yan was cultivating, she didn't want to disturb him.

During the fight, Hu Liena consumed a lot of her soul power, and then sat down to cultivate and recover.

Another hour passed, and Xie Yue finally finished absorbing the soul ring.

Hu Liena was somewhat excited.

"Brother, you've finally finished absorbing it."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Xie Yue stood up and saw Yan, her face lighting up with surprise.

"Yan, you're here too! That's wonderful!"

While Xie Yue was pleasantly surprised, she keenly sensed the bloody smell in the air and realized that another battle had taken place here.

"Nana, were there any other spirit beasts around when I was absorbing the spirit ring?"

"Yes, it's a swarm of bloodthirsty bats."

As Hu Liena spoke, she glanced at Yan.

"Fortunately, Yan arrived in time and burned them to death. However, a small number of them escaped."

Xie Yue nodded, still feeling a lingering fear.

He knew that the swarm of bloodthirsty bats was extremely difficult to deal with, and his sister alone could not drive them away.

"Yan, we owe you a lot this time."

"Nothing much. By the way, how much did your soul power increase after you absorbed your fourth soul ring?"

Xie Yue smiled slightly.

"The white-faced demonic tiger we hunted had nearly five thousand years of cultivation. After absorbing its soul ring, my soul power increased by one and a half levels."

Hu Liena took over the conversation.

"Brother, what is your fourth soul skill?"

Xie Yue chuckled, a hint of confidence on his face.

"My fourth soul skill can be described as a perfect combination of power and speed."

After saying that, he stretched out his right hand, and a moon blade instantly appeared in his hand.

The crescent-shaped blade gleamed with a cold light under the moonlight.

"I call this soul skill 'Dance of the Moonlit Night'."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yue moved swiftly, his entire body flying out like a beam of moonlight.

His movements were as fast as lightning, appearing almost instantly ten meters away. The moon blade in his hand drew an elegant arc, and the sharp blade energy instantly split a hard boulder in two.

Immediately afterwards, he returned to the original spot at an extremely fast speed.

Hu Liena and Yan watched this unfold and couldn't help but admire it in their hearts.

This move is not only extremely fast and powerful, but also elegant, like a dancer gracefully moving in the moonlight. It is both beautiful and deadly.

"Brother, you're amazing!"

Hu Liena couldn't help but cheer, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Xie Yue.

Yan nodded and congratulated Xie Yue.

"Congratulations, you have mastered another powerful soul skill."

Xie Yue sheathed his moon blade, a smug smile spreading across his face.

"Yan, if I'm not mistaken, you should have obtained your fourth spirit ring by now, right?"

"Ah."

Yan nodded.

"What kind of spirit beasts did you hunt? How much did your spirit power increase?"

"I was lucky enough to encounter an injured flying fire fox with about six thousand years of cultivation. After killing it and absorbing its soul ring, my soul power increased by two levels."

Chapter 7 Self-created Killer Move: Fiery Sand Cage

After hearing Yan's account, both Xie Yue and Hu Liena showed expressions of disbelief, especially Hu Liena.

Her once confident eyes now revealed a hint of resentment.

The three of them grew up together, fighting side by side and growing together, whether in the training grounds of the Spirit Hall or in the vast Death Valley.

But at this moment, Hu Liena realized that the gap between herself and Yan seemed to have widened overnight.

When they parted last time, Hu Liena was full of confidence, believing that she would obtain her fourth spirit ring before Yan.

But now, seeing that Yan has reached level 42 while she herself is still hovering below level 40, she can't help but feel a little disappointed.

On the contrary, Xie Yue's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Xie Yue regarded Yan as his best friend, but also as his biggest rival. Even though he was recognized as the leader of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, he never let his guard down against Yan.

Among the young soul masters of the Spirit Hall, Yan has the best chance of catching up with and surpassing him.

After both of them obtained their fourth spirit ring, Yan's spirit power surpassed his, marking the first time Yan had surpassed him since they met.

This excites him; he enjoys the feeling of competition and facing challenges.

Xie Yue smiled and said:

“I thought that absorbing that five-thousand-year-old spirit ring was the limit. I never expected that you would actually challenge a six-thousand-year-old spirit ring and succeed. Now, your spirit power has surpassed mine by half a level. I will definitely work hard to catch up with and surpass you.”

Yan shook his head modestly.

"I've said it before, it's just good luck."

Next, Yan told Xie Yue and Hu Liena everything about encountering the flying fire fox and fighting the two-headed demon snake, as well as how he hunted down the flying fire fox.

After Yan finished speaking, the brother and sister fell into a brief silence.

Although Hu Liena was unwilling, she had to admit that Yan's strength and luck were both top-notch.

"You really are lucky."

Hu Liena pouted and pretended to be angry, saying:

"If the flying fire fox hadn't been injured, you would never have been able to successfully hunt it down."

Xie Yue looked at her younger sister and understood that she found it difficult to accept Yan's surpassing.

He gently patted Hu Liena's shoulder and comforted her:

"Nana, luck is also part of strength. We must believe in Yan. Even without that luck, he still has the ability to hunt down that flying fire fox."

Xie Yue knew her younger sister's temper very well; she always ignored Yan.

In the past, Yan would never have minded.

However, Xie Yue sensed that Yan had changed; Yan was more serious about things than before.

Yan ignored Hu Liena's disdain and simply smiled calmly.

Hu Liena seemed to remember something and asked curiously:

"What was that meteor shower? Was it your fourth soul skill?"

Yan shook his head and said casually:

"That's just a new attack method. My fourth soul skill is called 'Blazing Frenzy Slash,' which is a single-target attack skill."

Yan planned to tell the brother and sister about his possession of an external soul bone later.

External soul bones are top-grade soul bones, possessing growth potential and evolving as the master's soul power increases. They are treasures that countless soul masters dream of obtaining.

Yan knew very well that if such a rare treasure were exposed, it could cause unnecessary trouble. Before he became strong enough, he needed to keep a low profile.

Therefore, he would not easily display his fiery wings to others unless absolutely necessary.

Xie Yue joked:

"Yan, you're quite impressive when you get serious. It seems I'll have to work even harder to surpass you again."

After Xie Yue finished speaking, he looked at Hu Liena.

"Nana, Yan is already so amazing, you have to keep up the good work."

Hu Liena also regained her fighting spirit at this moment.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm almost level 40 too. Let's have a real showdown after I get my fourth spirit ring."

After Hu Liena finished speaking, she turned and left.

Cultivation alone is not enough; she needs to hunt ferocious beasts and unleash her potential in dangerous situations so that she can break through to level 40 as soon as possible.

Xie Yue watched her sister's departing figure, feeling both worried and relieved.

He turned to Yan and said:
