Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

In the Douluo Continent, strength is the eternal passport and the only reliance for roaming freely on the continent.

Led by Long Aotian, Vina, and Jin Ni, these young men and women are all outstanding among their peers as Soul Masters, and they are already accustomed to improving themselves through constant challenges and trials.

The drills between the participants are not only part of their daily training, but also the best way to test each other's abilities and improve team synergy.

Most of the time, team battles are led by Long Aotian and Jin Ni, each leading a team in fierce competition.

Long Aotian and Jin Ni are undoubtedly the most outstanding among this group of companions.

Long Aotian is undoubtedly the core leader of the younger generation of the Body Sect. Whether in terms of soul power or combat strength, he is already far ahead of his peers.

Jin Ni, whether in terms of the strength of her Golden Dragon Martial Soul or her adaptability in battle, is on par with Long Aotian. The duels between the two often erupt into the most intense collisions, with each exchange being evenly matched, and occasionally they can even develop some unexpected surprises in the specialized application of their soul skills.

With Long Aotian and Jin Ni by her side, Vina's overall combat strength also rose rapidly, making her the most eye-catching focus among everyone.

Once upon a time, Vina, as a support-type Soul Master, was an indispensable member of the team, but she always needed the careful protection of her companions.

But now, everything is different. Since Vina acquired the three treasures—the Shield of Life Reflection, the Sentimental Sword, and the Ruthless Sword—her strength has undergone a dramatic transformation.

The Shield of Life Reflection not only provides Vina with powerful defense, but also reflects the opponent's attacks back. It is almost a pipe dream for a Soul Master of the same level to break through Vina's defense.

Moreover, although Vina's mental strength is slightly weaker than Long Aotian's, she has already reached the third level of the Purple Demon Eye - the Mustard Seed Realm.

Although her second martial soul, Brain, has not yet been equipped with a soul ring, this does not prevent her from unleashing extremely powerful mental attacks through the Sentimental Sword and the Ruthless Sword.

With the support of her Mustard Seed Realm spiritual power, Vina's mental attacks were so powerful that only Long Aotian and Jin Ni, with their profound spiritual power, could withstand them. Even geniuses like Ji Juechen and Ye Guyi could not deal with them head-on.

Vina is no longer a support-type Soul Master with no combat ability; she can now be considered a battle-type Soul Master. With her current combat power, she no longer needs a dedicated person in the team to protect her, unlike other support-type Soul Masters.

With her solid fighting ability, she firmly secured the third position among the group, second only to Long Aotian and Jin Ni.

In this way, everyone can attack and defend, making the team's combat system more complete.

Following closely behind Vina in strength are Ji Juechen and Ye Guyi.

Ji Juechen, thanks to the celestial herb Nine-Leaf Divine Sword Grass, not only had his originally mediocre sword spirit refined into a top-grade Annihilation Sword Body spirit, but his talent was also greatly enhanced. In the way of the sword, his talent and attainments were almost unmatched. His sword was unstoppable, advancing without hesitation, and every strike carried the power to annihilate everything.

Ye Guyi, on the other hand, possesses the prototype of the divine-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel—the Four-Winged Holy Angel. The Holy Angel martial soul is already powerful, and now that it has manifested its four-winged form, the divine power and might it contains are enough to make any evil spirit tremble in fear.

Next to them were the still young Dugu Yuan and Xiao Xiao.

Dugu Yuan's Calamity Poison Body was originally a misfortune; once it erupted, it would be a disaster for those around him. However, under the tutelage of "Poison Must Kill" and "Poison Cannot Kill," Dugu Yuan had already perfectly mastered the power of the Calamity Poison Body. Not only did he use poison to temper his body and condense his soul power, making his cultivation extremely rapid, but he also possessed extremely powerful destructive force.

Xiao Xiao possesses twin martial souls, and currently cultivates the first martial soul, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron is a mutation of the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, with three lives in one body. After the mutation, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron possesses the powerful ability to suppress everything.

Thanks to the powerful qualities of their martial spirits, Dugu Yuan and Xiao Xiao's combat strength has surpassed that of older students like Wang Yanfeng, Chen Yu, Jiang Yixi, Chen Lu, and Gu Tong, and may even be stronger.

Although the Lan sisters, Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu, are about the same age as Dugu Yuan and Xiao Xiao, and their martial soul quality is slightly inferior, they possess an extremely rare martial soul fusion skill. Once "Heavenly Net" is used, the combat power they unleash is quite considerable and should not be underestimated.

Seeing his companions improve their skills one by one, and the team's overall strength flourishing, Long Aotian felt gratified and proud.

Long Aotian decided to add insult to injury and give everyone another major boost in strength.

Long Aotian has already used a batch of the various immortal and top-grade herbs he obtained from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, but he still has some left over and has not yet used them all.

Each of these herbs contains the essence of heaven and earth, and has unimaginable benefits for the cultivation of Soul Masters.

Long Aotian took out these rare herbs one by one, compared them with the medicine manual, and carefully studied their properties and effects.

Long Aotian knew that while celestial herbs were excellent, if they weren't used appropriately for the right ailment and individual, they could have the opposite effect. Therefore, he had to allocate them most rationally based on each person's martial soul characteristics and their own condition.

Of all the remaining rare and precious herbs, the two Acacia Heartbreak Red plants are the most valuable.

The Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red is hailed as a divine treasure among immortal herbs, with the most significant effect on enhancing Soul Masters. It has the power to bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones. After consuming this immortal herb, one can achieve immortality with heaven and earth, and it can promote the transformation of Soul Masters and enhance their foundation.

However, the conditions for picking the Acacia 'Heartbreak' flower are also the most demanding. The person picking it must have their beloved in their heart, with utmost sincerity, and drop a drop of their heart's blood onto the petal. If there is even the slightest hesitation, even if they vomit blood and die, they will not be able to pick it.

Long Aotian looked at the two Acacia Heartbreak Red plants and fell into thought.

His first thought was of Vina. Since Vina awakened her martial soul and joined the Body Sect, she had grown up alongside him. The two were childhood sweethearts, innocent and inseparable, and their hearts were already connected, their feelings deeply rooted. This affection was pure and unwavering.

Sure enough, when Long Aotian handed one of the Acacia Heartbreak Red flowers to Vina, there was no hesitation in her eyes, only deep love for Long Aotian.

She channeled her soul power, forcing out a mouthful of her heart's blood, which dripped onto the petals of the Acacia Heartbreak Red Flower, where it was instantly absorbed. The once vibrant and beautiful flower seemed to sense the heart's desire of its owner, swaying gently, and was eventually plucked by Vina.

As for the other acacia flower, Long Aotian thought of Jin Ni.

Over the years, through her daily interactions with Long Aotian, Jin Ni's feelings for him had unknowingly taken root and sprouted.
