Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 100 One Year Later

The cave was dimly lit, with only a few crystals emitting a soft light, providing just enough illumination.

Following the direction extended by the crystal, Ye Ying endured the immense pressure, and with each step he took, he was able to leave a shallow mark on the hard rock.

After passing through the area marked by the Soul King level, no further text or symbols were encountered marking any other areas.

Ye Ying had no idea how far she had traveled in this leyline cave.

Of course, Ye Ying also learned a lot about the Earth Vein Cave from the Body Sect.

Ye Ying never expected that the Body Sect would be so lucky to discover such a treasure land.

Although the timing of its opening is somewhat troublesome, a year is enough time for the younger generation of the Body Sect to further improve their cultivation.

Ye Ying had three days of cultivation time every month, which aroused envy and jealousy among many disciples of the Body Sect.

Although his master, Du Busi, was the sect leader, the younger generation of the Body Sect would not be afraid of Ye Ying because of that.

The reason is simple: when they learned that Ye Ying's martial soul was not the Body Martial Soul, they understood that Ye Ying could not become the sect leader of the Body Sect.

In that case, Ye Ying is just an extra disciple of the sect leader compared to others.

Therefore, in the past year, Ye Ying has fought against many disciples of the Body Sect below the Soul King level.

However, due to the nature of their martial spirit, they mostly lose more than they win.

After all, the Ye family's Moon Soul Bow and the various Body Martial Souls of the Body Sect are two completely opposite extremes.

Before reaching the seventh ring, Ye Ying was at a significant disadvantage in close combat, relying solely on the Moon Soul Bow.

Although Ye Ying's chances of winning each fight were not high, his close combat skills were honed and improved considerably.

Even his physique has been enhanced to a certain extent, exceeding the limit of the third level of the Body Tempering Chapter.

Ye Ying inserted a token representing his identity into a nearby rock, sat down, and silently meditated to absorb soul power under the immense pressure of heaven and earth.

In an instant, an incomparably vast soul power surged directly towards Ye Ying.

Today is the last day of the Soul Power Tide in the Earth Vein Cave. In this final stretch, Ye Ying plans to break through to level 40 in one go and become a Soul Master.

Time passed slowly, and in the face of that vast soul power, Ye Ying probably didn't absorb even a single drop of water.

After an unknown amount of time, the vast soul power that had filled the cave began to dissipate.

A resolute glint flashed in Ye Ying's eyes, and the fluctuations of her soul power grew even more intense.

In just a moment, the fluctuation of soul power suddenly increased, and Ye Ying had already broken through to level 40. He was only one soul ring away from breaking through to the Soul Master level.

After calming his somewhat unstable soul power, Ye Ying slowly stood up. Sensing the pressure disappearing from the leyline cave and the slowly dissipating soul power, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes. "It really does disappear after a certain time. I wonder what kind of secrets are hidden within this leyline cave?"

He was very puzzled. He had tried to investigate with his Eye of Detection, but the distance was simply too far, and his mental strength could not support such a distance at all.

Of course, Ye Ying was just curious. After all, no matter how good the ley line cave was, it was still the property of the Body Sect.

Without that natural, immense pressure, Ye Ying quickly ran outside and soon returned to the top of the leyline cave.

Tall and slender with flawless skin and stunning beauty, Zhang Lexuan, with her long black hair flowing freely, had been waiting here for quite some time.

She wore a light purple dress, with a white sash gently cinching her slender waist, perfectly highlighting her beautiful figure.

Her unique temperament gives people a sense of tranquility and beauty.

When Ye Ying climbed up, her pair of slender, snow-white fingers trembled slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Without any hint of disgust, she grabbed the disheveled Ye Ying, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents. "Congratulations! Brother Ying has finally become a Soul Master. You're almost catching up with me!"

"Of course I have to work hard so I can marry Sister Xuanxuan as soon as possible!"

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you."

In the year that followed, Ye Ying wasn't the only one who benefited from the Earth Vein Cave; Zhang Lexuan also broke through to the edge of a breakthrough.

A Soul King who is not even fifteen years old—just thinking about it sends chills down one's spine.

Ye Ying also felt that if he hadn't cheated, he might have been suppressed by Zhang Lexuan for the rest of his life, although Zhang Lexuan would never do that.

Over the past year, Ye Ying has grown taller and taller, much like a bamboo shoot.

He was originally less than 1.6 meters tall, but he has now grown to 1.75 meters, only a few centimeters shorter than Zhang Lexuan.

So much so that Zhang Lexuan, who was used to petting him, felt a little uncomfortable.

After exchanging a few intimate words, Ye Ying also planned to quickly fuse the soul ring of the Thunderous Hell Vine that she had previously stored away.

Although the spirit ring storage box given to Ye Ying by the system can preserve spirit rings for three years, the power of the preserved spirit rings will still dissipate continuously.

The purpose of the spirit ring storage box is simply to delay the dissipation of spirit power within the spirit ring. However, once the spirit power of the spirit ring dissipates to a certain extent, it will still collapse and disappear.

Just as Ye Ying was about to ask Zhang Lexuan to protect him, she handed him a food box and said with a smile, "It won't make a difference if you fill your stomach first."

(。 · ∇·。)

"Thank you, Sister Xuanxuan!"

He took the food box from Zhang Lexuan's hand. It contained two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and four snow-white steamed buns.

Ye Ying didn't stand on ceremony and immediately began to eat heartily.

She watched Ye Ying tenderly from the side, occasionally tidying up his somewhat disheveled clothes.

During her time at Shrek Academy, Ye Ying used the skills she had learned while working part-time in a restaurant in her previous life to prepare a variety of delicious dishes every now and then.

Although Ye Ying's cooking skills weren't particularly good, she still won over Zhang Lexuan's stomach with her novel cooking methods and the high-quality ingredients specially supplied by the Ye family.

Later, at some point, Zhang Lexuan took the initiative to cook a dish for Ye Ying, which really surprised Ye Ying.

According to Zhang Lexuan's explanation, she had almost learned it after watching it a few times, and she was surprised that it was quite good.

Not to mention anything far in the past year, Ye Ying felt that he was becoming more and more inseparable from his sister Xuanxuan during his time at the Body Sect.

After finishing all the food in the food box, Ye Ying took out the spirit ring storage box that sealed the Thunderous Hell Vine spirit ring.

Under Ye Ying's guidance, the black spirit ring suddenly headed towards him.

Most soul beasts develop intelligence after ten thousand years, and the Thunderous Hell Vine was no exception. The moment it was encircled by Ye Yingna, it rushed directly into his sea of ​​consciousness.

After a year of silence, Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng had accumulated a lot of resentment in its consciousness. Even if it meant risking its life, it was determined to drag Ye Ying down with it.

But just then, a terrifying roar rang out, and before Thunderous Hell Vine could unleash its fury, it vanished completely.

"Ding, mission complete————"
