Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 38 Four Years

Then Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan continued their efforts and upgraded all four of Qiu Fengyan's spirit rings to black ten-thousand-year spirit rings.

The two celebrated with a big meal, and then resumed their arduous training.

Time flows by like water, fleeting and swift.

……

Four years passed in the blink of an eye. After four years of arduous training, the two of them naturally made great progress.

Name: Autumn Encounter with Geese

Age: 24

Martial Soul: Goose Feather Blade

Realm: Level 56

Soul Power: 20000

Physical condition: 13000

Spirit: 11000

Skills: Eight-Section Brocade (Peak of Mastery), Nine Palaces Blade Steps (Ultimate Sublimation), Condensed Silk Soul Control (Peak of Mastery), Willow Leaf Flying Knife (Peak of Mastery), Bone Forging Secret Technique (Peak of Mastery)

Soul Skills: Hardness, Resilience, Armor Penetration, Charge, Flying Strike

Over the course of four years, Qiu Fengyan hunted down the fifth soul ring and obtained the soul skill "Flying Strike" from the Golden Eagle Beast.

Qiu Fengyan's progress in the Eight-Section Brocade was tremendous, and she simultaneously unlocked the third stage, Spirit Refinement. Just as Fang Tian had guessed, the Eight-Section Brocade was indeed extraordinary. It was a top-tier technique that cultivated essence, qi, and spirit simultaneously. Therefore, Qiu Fengyan's spirit also improved dramatically, directly reaching the Soul Emperor level.

Qiu Fengyan's greatest progress was breaking free from the constraints of the Fangtian Nine Palaces Blade Step and forging her own path.

Qiu Fengyan can now also enter supersonic speed. Although his speed is still not as fast as Fang Tian's due to his physical condition, he has already surpassed the vast majority of soul masters in the world, including Limit Douluo who do not have spatial soul skills.

Qiu Fengyan's greatest achievement was imitating the Fangtian God-Slaying Flying Knife to create his own God-Slaying Blade. Forged using the Goose Feather Blade as a template, the God-Slaying Blade, when combined with his martial spirit, could not only sever the enemy's physical body but also shatter their spirit and soul.

Of course, Fang Tian also made tremendous progress in those four years.

Fang Tian's sixth spirit ring was taken from the Beast Hunting Vine. The Beast Hunting Vine is a unique plant spirit beast. While other plant spirit beasts try to befriend animal spirit beasts for protection, the Beast Hunting Vine specializes in hunting animal spirit beasts.

The Beast-Hunting Vine resembles a blue planet's grapes, and its fruits are similar in shape to grapes, only much larger, about the size of a fist.

While this fruit is rich in vitality, it is also deadly. It explodes whenever a soul beast eats it. The Soul Hunting Vine uses the fruit to hunt and then drags the dead soul beasts to its roots as nutrients.

Fang Tian obtained the Soul Skill "Explosion" after painstakingly hunting down the Soul-Hunting Vine because he valued its explosive nature.

After obtaining the Explosive Soul Skill, Fang Tian conducted a series of experiments and finally extracted a red powder from it. This red powder was the key factor in the explosion. Fang Tian named it Flame Powder.

Whether the Flame Powder explodes or not is controlled by soul power, and the explosive power is much greater than that of gunpowder in his previous life. So Fang Tian used the Flame Powder to make a bunch of bullets.

They also made a dozen or so revolvers and several sniper rifles. They gave Qiu Fengyan two of each for self-defense.

In addition, Fang Tian also used kerosene and some soul beast materials to make a lot of incendiary bombs and also made a lot of bombs.

Even without soul power, he can still defeat most soul masters.

Fang Tian's progress was naturally not limited to these. The ultimate sublimation of the Willow Leaf Flying Dagger and the Purple Qi Nourishing Spirit allowed Fang Tian's spirit to grow rapidly, and he already possessed the spirit of a Super Douluo at the Quasi-Soul Saint level.

In terms of physique, he has also reached the level of a Contra Master.

Fang Tian can now confidently say that he is invincible below the level of a Title Douluo. He can even put up a fight against an ordinary Title Douluo, and even if he can't win, he can escape.

After learning about the limits of spirit rings and the principles of spirit skills, Fang Tian also tried to study the exploding of spirit rings.

Fang Tian's spirit rings are now generated by runes he inscribed himself, and these runes are directly inscribed on his spirit. So, if a spirit ring explodes, it has no impact at all, and he can explode it without worry.

Therefore, each time Fang Tian researched the exploding of spirit rings, he only needed to control the spirit rings to leave his martial soul to explode them at will. Each time a spirit ring exploded, the soul power contained within it would flow back into his body at an extremely rapid pace, posing a great test to his physique.

However, unlike the Clear Sky Sect, Fang Tian didn't have to wait three days for his spirit rings to regenerate after being destroyed. Fang Tian used his martial spirit to quickly heal his body injured by the destroyed rings and rapidly recover his spirit power. He could restore his destroyed spirit rings at any time.

It can be said that the weaknesses of the ring-breaking technique have been largely mitigated. Apart from the fact that it still requires strong physical abilities, everything else can be ignored.

Fang Tian is currently at the Quasi-Soul Saint level, and his next step is naturally to hunt soul beasts and acquire soul rings. However, this time Fang Tian is not planning to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, but rather to the Sunset Forest.

Fang Tian had long wanted to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but his strength was insufficient. There was a 70,000-year-old Medusa in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

With his current strength, Fang Tian can finally confidently go forward and harvest the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to enhance his and Qiu Fengyan's potential.

As for whether Sunset Forest had any spirit beasts of suitable age, Fang Tian didn't care much. He could now increase the age of his spirit rings himself. As long as the spirit rings were suitable, age wasn't an issue.

After explaining the reason for going to Sunset Forest to Qiu Fengyan, the two packed their things and set off.

They still went through the same disguise and transformation. After more than a month of arduous travel, the two arrived near the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire—Heavenly Dou City.

"Let's rest in Tiandou City for a bit, prepare some things, and then head to Sunset Forest," Fang Tian suggested.

"Yes, that's what I was thinking too. Let's go have a big meal first." Qiu Fengyan seemed much more energetic.

Heaven Dou City is situated on the edge of Sunset Forest and is extremely prosperous. Of course, this is from the perspective of the people of Douluo Continent.

To be honest, Fang Tian didn't understand why Heaven Dou City would be built on the edge of Sunset Forest. Given the Heaven Dou Empire's weak national strength, if a beast tide from Sunset Forest attacked, the capital would likely be easily destroyed. After all, the royal family didn't even have a single Title Douluo.

Upon entering Tiandou City, Qiu Fengyan was dazzled by the sight. It was the first time she had ever seen such a bustling city, and she longed to explore it thoroughly.

"Let's choose this hotel; it looks quite clean," Fang Tian suggested to Qiu Fengyan, pointing to a hotel.

"No problem, I'll listen to you." Qiu Fengyan was indifferent to these trivial matters.

The two checked in and headed to their room. Suddenly, an angry voice came from behind them.

"What! There are no rooms left?"

Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan turned around upon hearing this and saw a young man in his twenties leaning on the front desk, craning his neck to question the waiter.
