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

Xie Yue looked at the half-meter-long rabbit in Yan's hand with surprise.

In Death Valley, teeming with ferocious beasts, catching a rabbit is no easy feat.

"Yan, you've really gotten good at this, you even managed to catch a rabbit."

"Just luck."

"Another stroke of bad luck, but you're really lucky. You're in for a big meal today, haha~~"

Afterwards, the two lit a campfire not far from Hu Liena, roasting rabbits while chatting about their recent experiences.

Time passed second by second, and Hu Liena finally finished absorbing the spirit ring.

The moment I opened my eyes, I smelled a pungent aroma. Looking closely, I saw that my brother and Yan were enjoying delicious barbecue. I quickly stood up and ran over.

"Brother, what kind of meat is this? It smells so good!"

Xie Yue was overjoyed to see his younger sister finish absorbing the spirit ring.

"Nana, you've finally finished absorbing your spirit ring. Here's some rabbit meat, I saved it for you, come sit down and eat with me."

Hu Liena's gaze swept over Yan before she sat down.

She had exhausted herself chasing that dark demon fox last night, and the absorption of the soul ring had continued for several hours, leaving her starving.

After a few bites of rabbit meat, she felt a little better.

"Brother, this rabbit meat is delicious."

"Isn't it delicious? This big rabbit was caught by Yan."

"Oh."

Hu Liena secretly glanced at Yan, who was eating meat with gusto, and felt a little smug, as if the Yan she knew had returned.

When the three of them came to Death Valley for training, Yan was responsible for finding all the wild game, in addition to the food they brought themselves. He did it willingly, just to satisfy Hu Liena's appetite.

However, this time Yan was a little different from before. He didn't show concern for Hu Liena as he had before, nor did he leave the best parts for her. Instead, he started to eat heartily on his own.

While they were eating, Xie Yue suddenly asked:

"Nana, how much has your soul power increased since you absorbed that soul ring?"

"Brother, I'm about the same as you, I've improved by one and a half levels."

"Level one and a half, not bad. What's your fourth soul skill?"

Hu Liena gently put down the bone in her hand, elegantly wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth, and said excitedly:

"My fourth soul skill is an invisibility skill called Invisible Body."

Chapter 9 The Gale Wolves You Shouldn't Provoke

"Invisible Body? That name sounds extraordinary. Tell me, what kind of skill is it exactly?"

Xie Yue sighed, his eyes revealing pride in his younger sister.

Hu Liena then explained:

"When I activate this soul skill, my body will briefly enter a state of nothingness, as if I have disappeared. I can also transform into any form, and even disguise the environment within a three-meter radius. Unless I encounter an opponent who is more than ten levels higher than me or whose mental strength is above mine, this disguise will not be detected."

To help Xie Yue and Yan understand the skill more intuitively, Hu Liena stood up and released her martial soul and soul rings.

As the second and fourth spirit rings lit up one after the other, a pink mist slowly drifted by, and Hu Liena's figure disappeared under their gaze.

Where she had been standing, a huge rock suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Just as Xie Yue was filled with surprise, Hu Liena suddenly appeared in front of the two of them without warning, as if she had never left.

Seeing this, Xie Yue's shock was palpable:

"Nana, your soul skill is truly amazing. In actual combat and infiltration missions, it is absolutely invincible. Not only can you use it to evade the enemy's search and attack, but you can also launch a surprise attack when the enemy is completely unprepared. It's simply impossible to defend against."

Hu Liena nodded happily, then added:

"However, this skill also has its limitations. As you have seen, this is a skill that needs to be used in conjunction with other soul skills, and it can only be used when the charm skill is activated. Therefore, it consumes a lot of mental and soul power. With my current strength, I can only use it once a day, and each time I can only maintain it for a few minutes."

After hearing this, Xie Yue couldn't help but sigh:

"That is indeed a minor flaw. But everything has two sides. As your strength continues to improve, I believe you will be able to use this powerful soul skill more freely in the future."

"Well, I'll try my best."

Hu Liena glanced at Yan again.

Throughout the entire process from when Hu Liena finished absorbing the spirit ring to when she displayed her fourth spirit skill, Yan didn't say a word, but simply nodded slightly to her in appreciation.

This time, Hu Liena truly felt that the Yan she knew had really changed.

He seemed to have matured a lot, becoming calm and composed, no longer as naive as before.

Yan's change made Hu Liena somewhat unhappy, but it also gave her a strange feeling. She even felt that Yan was more charming than before.

After eating and drinking their fill, the three prepared to leave the center of the canyon.

Bibi Dong gave them three months, but they only took two months, which means they completed the task ahead of schedule.

The three embarked on their journey home, traversing through the dense jungle.

At this time, it was already evening.

The last rays of the setting sun filtered through the treetops, dappling the road and adding a touch of mystery to this ancient forest.

Just as the three were chatting and laughing, a noise suddenly came from the woods ahead.

"Watch out, there's a soul beast!"

Yan's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the movements ahead.

The spirit beasts seemed to have noticed them as well and were quietly approaching.

Hu Liena leaped up to a large tree, where the view was much wider.

Upon closer inspection, she realized they were several Gale Wolves.

Their eyes were fierce, and they bared sharp fangs; they were clearly not benevolent creatures.

"They are several Gale Wolves. Let's go and kill them."

Yan suggested:

"Now that the mission is complete, there's no need for us to create unnecessary trouble. Let's take a detour to avoid any unforeseen problems."

In the past, no matter what decision Hu Liena made, Yan would have supported her without hesitation.

But this time, he had his own opinion.

Hu Liena shrugged, a sly glint in her eyes, and chuckled:

"Yan, why have you become so timid? The three of us have all broken through level 40 and have our fourth soul skill. We can use these ferocious soul beasts to practice our skills."

Xie Yue took over the conversation.

“Nana, I think Yan is right. Gale Wolves are mostly pack animals, and since we’ve seen a few here, there might be a pack nearby. If they don’t attack us, we don’t need to provoke them. But if we do encounter a pack, that would be terrible.”

"Brother, why are you as timid and hesitant as Yan! What are you both afraid of?!"

Hu Liena was a little angry and couldn't wait to show off her Soul Master level strength.

With that, she flashed and charged toward the Swiftwind Wolves.

Seeing this, Xie Yue was worried about her sister's safety and followed closely behind.

Yan had no choice but to follow.

Realizing the threat, the Swiftwind Wolves roared and launched a frenzied attack.

The Gale Wolf is not only extremely fast but also incredibly strong, possessing both offense and defense, making it a rather formidable opponent among soul beasts.

Fortunately, the cultivation levels of these Gale Wolves were all below five thousand years.

The three quickly entered battle mode and engaged in a fierce battle with the Gale Wolf.

Hu Liena did not use her strange fourth soul skill, Invisible Body. Instead, she combined the two soul skills, Fox Charm and Foxfire Token, to take down one of the Gale Wolves.

Xie Yue used his fourth soul skill, Dance of the Moonlit Night, and killed one of them.

Yan unleashed his Flame Lord Martial Soul, and without activating his Soul Rings, used his newly created killing move—Blazing Sand Cage.

Amidst the flying sand and stones, a burst of blazing flames instantly enveloped one of the Gale Wolves, the raging fire seemingly about to devour it.

The Gale Wolf struggled frantically in the fiery sand cage. Although it eventually broke free of its restraints, it was already on the verge of death from the intense heat.

The remaining Gale Wolf escaped while the group was distracted.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue were both shocked when they first saw Yan's blazing sand cage.

Xie Yue asked:

"Yan, is this the technique you mentioned to trap the enemy?"

"Yes, I call it the Blazing Sand Cage."

"Your killer move is truly amazing, perfectly combining your fire and earth attributes."
