Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 76 A Frequent Visitor to the Star Dou Great Forest

After returning to the Nine Star Palace, Ye Lingling kept Xiao Yu's teachings in mind. She did not rush to improve her soul power, but instead continuously condensed and solidified it until her realm was completely stable before starting a new round of cultivation.

Three months later, accompanied by a surge of soul power, Ye Lingling, after a period of arduous training, broke through the level 50 bottleneck. She only needed one more soul ring to become a true Soul King.

"Lingling, congratulations on your breakthrough!"

Having long suspected that Ye Lingling was on the verge of a breakthrough, Xiao Yu had been closely monitoring her condition these past few days, and sensed that she was the first person to arrive at his courtyard after her breakthrough.

"Brother Xiao Yu, thank you!"

Ye Lingling smiled sweetly and nestled into Xiao Yu's arms like a fledgling swallow, her gratitude towards him overflowing. If it weren't for Xiao Yu, it would be uncertain whether she could have broken through to the Soul Sect level.

Xiao Yu gently patted Ye Lingling's beautiful back: "Silly girl, do we need to say thank you to each other?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's pretty face flushed red, and she buried her head in Xiao Yu's arms without saying a word.

Seeing Ye Lingling's shy appearance, Xiao Yu felt a tickle in his heart. He forced himself to calm down and said, "Let's go get your fifth soul ring first."

"Um!"

Ye Lingling said softly, in a voice barely above a whisper.

Since returning to the academy, Huo Wu may have been stimulated and began to cultivate in seclusion to break through her limits, so she did not go out with them this time.

Looking at the familiar, vast primeval forest before him, Xiao Yu sighed inwardly. Not long ago, he had hunted down the Titan Giant Ape, the king of the forest, and now he was back again just a few months later. He was practically a regular visitor to this Star Dou Great Forest.

Xiao Yu had considered finding another place for Ye Lingling to acquire a spirit ring, but besides the Star Dou Great Forest, where else could provide a massive number of spirit beasts? The Sunset Forest was far inferior to the Star Dou Great Forest in both the quality and quantity of spirit beasts. The Blue Silver King in the Blue Silver Forest was quite suitable for the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, but that Blue Silver King had a cultivation level of 85,000 years. Let alone a fifth spirit ring, even a sixth spirit ring would be difficult. Xiao Yu planned to observe Ye Lingling's physical strength later before deciding whether to use that Blue Silver King as her seventh or eighth spirit ring.

Sigh, I hope the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian at the bottom of the Lake of Life don't have any objections!

Xiao Yu held Ye Lingling's hand, and the two strolled through the forest as if taking a leisurely walk. This time, Ye Lingling needed her fifth spirit ring, and there were definitely no suitable spirit beasts in the outer areas. Xiao Yu wasn't in a hurry to search; he would wait until they were deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Ye Lingling followed Xiao Yu step by step, her face beaming with happiness. This time, without Huo Wu by her side, she felt relaxed and happy. Although she had convinced herself to accept Huo Wu's existence, acceptance was one thing, and feeling was another.

How wonderful it would be if I could continue walking with Brother Xiao Yu like this forever!

Suddenly, Xiao Yu stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong, Brother Xiao Yu!"

Lost in her blissful fantasy, Ye Lingling almost bumped into Xiao Yujian's back and couldn't help but ask.

"Someone's there!"

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, shielding Ye Lingling behind him and assuming a defensive stance.

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

As soon as the words were spoken, three figures emerged from the dense forest, quickly taking up three positions to form a triangle, surrounding Xiao Yu and Ye Lingling.

"Who are you? What brings you here?"

The man facing Xiao Yu among the three surrounding Xiao Yu and Ye Lingling shouted sharply.

Xiao Yu said calmly, "What can we do in the Star Dou Great Forest? Naturally, we're here to acquire spirit rings!"

After sizing up Xiao Yu and Ye Lingling, the man, seeing that they didn't seem to have been followed all this way, relaxed and waved his hand dismissively, saying arrogantly, "This is our camp now. No unauthorized personnel are allowed near. You'd better get lost, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

If that person had spoken politely, Xiao Yu would have gone in another direction. But he insisted on using such a condescending and bossy tone, which immediately made Xiao Yu very unhappy.

"What? The Star Dou Great Forest has become your private property?"

Xiao Yu gave a cold laugh. "I've been to the Star Dou Great Forest so many times and I've never heard of any rules. I think the environment here is nice, so what should I do if I want to rest here?"

"Kid, I think you're looking for death!"

The three were immediately enraged and released their martial spirits, revealing themselves to be a Soul King and two Soul Masters.

"Kill them!"

The Soul King gave an order to his two subordinates. The two young men were at most Soul Venerables, not worthy of his intervention.

Two Soul Sect subordinates, having received their orders, grinned maliciously and surrounded Xiao Yu and Ye Lingling: "Kid, open your eyes wider next time!"

Snapped!Snapped!

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yu had already struck first. With two crisp and loud slaps, the two Soul Masters who didn't even have the best Soul Rings were knocked to the ground, their faces swollen. Xiao Yu then flashed back to Ye Lingling's side.

Seeing his two subordinates effortlessly knocked to the ground by Xiao Yu, the Soul King's face darkened. He stretched his limbs and said, "Boy, I underestimated you. Let me, your master, teach you a lesson!"

"stop!"

Just then, a somewhat angry voice rang out. Upon hearing this voice, the Soul King immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, his face losing all trace of his previous arrogance, and stood respectfully to the side.

Xiao Yu looked in the direction of the voice and recognized the person. It was none other than Qian Renxue, who was disguised as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

At this moment, he was disguised as Xue Qinghe, dressed in fine clothes, and slowly walked over surrounded by several guards.

Why did this silly girl end up in the Star Dou Great Forest?

Xiao Yu was puzzled. He remembered that Qian Renxue broke through to Soul Emperor two and a half years ago. Given her current busy and tedious political affairs, Xiao Yu would never believe that Qian Renxue could break through to Soul Saint in just over two years. Moreover, if Qian Renxue wanted to obtain a Soul Ring, she would definitely show her true form. Why would she use Xue Qinghe's skin?

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

As Xue Qinghe drew closer, Xiao Yu seemed lost in thought. Ye Lingling subtly pinched his hand, and Xiao Yu quickly snapped out of his reverie, bowing slightly as a gesture of respect.

"Young Master Xiao, there's no need for such formalities!"

Xue Qinghe waved his hand and spoke calmly, which also resolved Xiao Yu's doubts: "My younger sister, Princess Xue Ke, recently broke through to level 20. This time, I came here on the orders of my father to accompany her in hunting soul beasts. I did not expect to meet Young Master Xiao here."

That's it!

Princess Xueke, Xiao Yu recalled the information about this imperial princess, and she should be about two years older than Tang San.

It's hard to evaluate a fourteen or fifteen-year-old potential Great Soul Master.
