Chapter 150: Yan and Xie Yue at Level 60, Hu Liena Becomes a Lapdog
"Father, your son will certainly contribute to the great cause of our Spirit Hall."
Qian Renchuan's expression was fervent, ready at any moment to uproot the forces obstructing Spirit Hall's unification of the continent.
"Mm."
Qian Xunfeng nodded in approval. Soon after, he received news that Qian Renxuan, Qian Xuexue, Tian Yue, and Dugu Qiubai had also followed.
Yan and Xie Yue were still on their way, having been training frantically recently due to their constant desire for revenge.
As for Hu Liena, after being isolated by Yan and Xie Yue, she had become Yan and Xie Yue's lapdog over the past few years.
However, Yan didn't fall for it at all. Now, the girls pursuing him could line up from Spirit Hall to the Spirit City gate; there was no way he would abandon a whole forest for one flower.
Moreover, he had experienced the feeling of being the center of attention and couldn't go back. Every time he recalled the days of fawning over Hu Liena, he couldn't help but remember the hardships he endured.
At this moment, outside Spirit Hall, Hu Liena looked at Yan and Xie Yue, who were about to enter, and said in a sweet, delicate voice, "Yan, big brother, good luck! I believe you will gain the Supreme Pontiff's approval."
Currently, Hu Liena had not received resource allocation from Spirit Hall and was barely at Level 49, while Yan was already a Level 60 Soul Emperor without a soul ring, and Xie Yue was a Level 62 Soul Emperor.
"This time, the Supreme Pontiff called me over. I heard he prepared a special Spirit Soul. I wonder what it is."
Yan had been criticized by Qian Xunfeng for his attire, and after a makeover, he now had flowing hair, a perfectly proportioned physique, and no longer dressed like a delinquent. This was part of what allowed him to charm the young women of Spirit City.
"Yan, your Martial Soul is special. I believe the soul ring the Supreme Pontiff prepared for you will be highly compatible with your Martial Soul. Perhaps it's even a Flame Lord soul ring."
Xie Yue also chuckled. Although he was two levels higher than Yan, it was uncertain who would win if they fought, as Yan's Flame Lord Martial Soul was an ancient Beast Spirit, much stronger than some top-tier Martial Souls.
"I hope so. Flame Lords might have been extinct for tens of thousands of years; otherwise, no one would have seen one by now."
Yan also hoped his sixth soul ring would truly be a Flame Lord, which would allow him to further advance his control over his Martial Soul.
But since it was an ancient Soul Beast, it was likely long extinct.
"Let's go see the Supreme Pontiff first. Even if it's not a Flame Lord, it must be an extremely rare Soul Beast."
After speaking, Xie Yue was about to go see Qian Xunfeng with Yan, but he saw Hu Liena, the tag-along, behind them, lowering her head, wanting to say something but not daring to.
As Hu Liena's brother, seeing her like this, he naturally knew what she was thinking.
However, the events of the previous life still prevented him from letting go of the grudge. But since Hu Liena hadn't made any mistakes now, it was not good to completely isolate her.
He could only sigh helplessly and say:
"Sister, cultivate diligently this month. The Heaven Dou Royal Team happens to be short on members. If you breakthrough to Soul King, you might even have a chance to participate."
"Mm, I understand, big brother. I'll work hard."
Hearing Xie Yue's words, Hu Liena also nodded quite earnestly, and the disappointment in her eyes vanished.
"Good. We'll talk to the Supreme Pontiff about it. I believe with your excellent talent, sister, you will succeed as long as you work hard."
"Okay, then I'll go cultivate first."
After speaking, Hu Liena skipped happily out of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
"Alas, I hope you don't go astray in this life."
Xie Yue sighed, watching Hu Liena's retreating figure.
They also hadn't seen Tang San's current appearance as a mini Zhao Wuji. Hu Liena could be said to be a complete face-lover.
If she could fancy him, she must have been blind.
"Let's go. It's best if she lives a stable life this time. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to act."
Yan said casually.
The two exchanged glances, nodded, and then entered the Supreme Pontiff Palace, only to find that they were the last to arrive.
"Apologies, Supreme Pontiff, Yan and I are late."
"It's nothing. Let Yan absorb the soul ring first."
Qian Xunfeng said indifferently. Two cultivation fanatics being late due to cultivation was no cause for blame.
Moreover, he hadn't given a precise time.
"Absorb a soul ring?"
Yan looked around in a daze, only discovering the tall tower standing between the Supreme Pontiff Palace and the Worship Hall.
Seeing that Yan and Xie Yue still didn't know about the Spirit Transmission Tower, Qian Renchuan stepped forward first to introduce it to them:
"Yan, Xie Yue, you don't know yet, but this is a new device Father created to provide soul ring supplies for our Spirit Hall's future Soul Masters."
He then explained the Spirit Transmission Tower, and only then did Yan and Xie Yue realize— their expressions filled with pleasant surprise. This meant they would all have the chance to possess 100,000-year soul rings in the future.
"Then I'll go first."
Led by Qian Renchuan to the Spirit Transmission Tower, Yan's heart was excited, and he walked straight in.
As the Spirit Transmission Tower activated, Yan's consciousness arrived in a hot space.
"Junior, are you the one with the Flame Lord Martial Soul?"
Right before him, inside the volcano, lay dozens of Flame Lord Spirit Souls, the strongest of which was already 190,000 years old.
"You are Flame Lords!"
Yan was stunned. Weren't Flame Lords solitary creatures? How could they live together? Shouldn't they be fighting tooth and nail right now?
"Nonsense. Our entire clan combined doesn't even have a hundred individuals. If we don't unite, we'll eventually be wiped out by other Soul Beasts and you humans."
The leading 190,000-year-old Flame Lord said with a human-like look of disdain.
"Forget it, kid. I've examined your body. You can only withstand an 80,000-year soul ring at most, so let Little Rock become your first Spirit Soul."
Saying that, he pushed Little Rock, who was covered in molten rocks, out from behind him.
"Thank you, Senior."
Seeing that he was truly about to possess a Flame Lord soul ring, Yan's heart was equally excited beyond measure. This was a huge gain, a huge profit!
"When you become a god in the future, remember to let Little Rock return."
Letting Little Rock become a Spirit Soul was mainly because this red-haired kid in front of him had gained the favor of that great being.
To have the potential to become a god, a few Divine Beasts would also appear in their clan, expanding their race in the future.
"Don't worry, Senior."
Although he didn't know why the Flame Lord in front of him was so certain he would become a god, Yan still agreed.
Subsequently, after the 190,000-year-old Flame Lord confirmed, Little Rock began to sacrifice itself, and a black 10,000-year soul ring enveloped Yan.
"Mad Fire Domain!"
As the Domain unfolded and the soul ring fused into Yan's body, deep red flames immediately flared up around him, and his arms were instantly covered in molten rock-like armguards.
"So strong!"
Clenching his powerful fists, Yan was full of confidence at this moment, wishing he could directly punch Tang San into a meat paste.
"Alright, from now on, come and absorb a soul ring every time you Breakthrough ten levels. We, Flame Lords, will take care of your future soul rings. If you truly can, I can become your ninth soul ring."
After speaking, Yan's face flushed with unprecedented joy and surprise. Three 100,000-year Flame Lords as his subsequent soul rings! He had truly hit the jackpot.
But then he exited the Soul World, still with a look of surprise, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.
