Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 146 The Power of Wind

"Brother Ye, we've arrived in Shenfeng City! We should get together; I still owe you a meal!"

Feng Xiaotian planned to invite Ye Liangchen to Shenfeng City and treat him to a meal. This guy was an unparalleled genius and worth befriending.

"Brother Feng, I don't have time this time. I have some things to take care of. Let's do it another day, then we can have a drink and chat."

"You need to work harder. I will participate in the next Soul Master Competition. I hope you become stronger so that the competition will be even more exciting."

Ye Liangchen spent an hour in Shenfeng Valley, climbing the slopes many times, before finally comprehending a trace of wind elemental power. It was time for him to leave.

"Brother Ye, you wouldn't actually be participating with the Tianshui team, would you? Has Dean Shui changed the rules?"

Feng Xiaotian was extremely surprised when he heard that Ye Liangchen was preparing to participate in the next Soul Master Competition.

"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. The dean of Tianshui Academy is my aunt, so there's nothing wrong with me participating in the competition as a member of the Tianshui team."

Ye Liangchen's purpose in participating in the Soul Master Competition was twofold: first, to complete the Divine Test, and second, to create a sufficiently evil successor for the Rakshasa God.

"Brother Ye, with your strength, I doubt anyone could be your match in the Soul Master Competition."

Feng Xiaotian's lips twitched. This guy participated in the competition, and with the powerful strength of those girls from Tianshui Academy, even the Spirit Hall team probably wouldn't be a match for him.

"Brother Feng, you can't say that. As the saying goes, there's always someone stronger, and there's always someone better. In the world of cultivators, there's only stronger, not strongest. I estimate that the Spirit Hall team will definitely have a Soul King level player."

"The Pan-Continental Soul Master Competition is just a stage for us young soul masters to perform. Don't focus too much on fame and fortune. Just participate. Otherwise, fame and fortune will restrict your path."

"We'll take our leave now, and see you later."

After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he activated the Wind and Thunder Wings, pulled Ye Cailan into the sky, and disappeared in a few moments.

"My God! This guy actually has such powerful flying skills."

"His state of mind is too lofty, like that of a peerless master. Talking to him always helps you understand some principles. I'm afraid even my father and the others don't have his level of mind. Just what kind of monster is this guy?!"

After seeing Ye Liangchen disappear, Feng Xiaotian finally came to his senses and recalled what the guy had said. He felt that he had wasted all these years.

"I need to work harder and try to break through to level 50 before the Soul Master Competition. Otherwise, it would be a real waste. I am a genius with innate full soul power. I can't let my time go to waste like this."

"Sink your Qi to your Dantian and channel some of your strength into your feet."

"Swish..."

"As expected, Brother Ye is truly a talented individual."

Feng Xiaotian was spurred on by Ye Liangchen's strength, so he began a frenzied training mode.

……

After leaving Shenfeng Valley, Ye Liangchen and his companion quickly arrived at the place where Shui Bing'er and the others were.

"Xiao Chen, why did you take so long? An hour has passed."

"Little Chen, if you don't show up soon, we'll probably have to go looking for you."

When Shui Bing'er and her group saw that this guy had returned, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I gained some understanding of the power of wind elements in the Valley of the Divine Wind, so it took me some time."

Ye Liangchen stretched out his hand and used his mind to activate the wind element power he had just comprehended. In an instant, a small ball of wind power appeared in his palm.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Shui Bing'er and the others were immediately stunned by the scene, staring wide-eyed at the ball of wind power in Ye Liangchen's palm.

"Xiao Chen, you actually comprehended the power of wind?"

"Xiao Chen has now comprehended the power of ice and fire, and has also comprehended the power of wind. In addition, he has the life force in his martial soul, so he now has four kinds of power."

The women felt that this guy's comprehension ability was too strong; there was almost nothing he couldn't do.

"I guess this was a pleasant surprise for me! We should get going."

Ye Liangchen called the women to head towards Sunset Forest. Now, in addition to the power of life, he possessed three elemental powers, which would greatly help him in his future creation of the world.

If we can use the power of Hunyuan to create earth, fire, wind, and thunder in the future, then the entire Douluo world will be fully upgraded and become a mini-primordial world. However, it is estimated that this will be difficult unless we can break out of the universe where the Douluo world is located and reach a higher level of strength.

……

A few days later, Ye Liangchen and his group finally arrived at Sunset Forest. Looking at the boundless forest before them, Shui Bing'er and the kitten smiled at each other. This Soul Beast Forest was truly a blessed land! The two of them obtained the fourth ring of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast in this forest and also gained the ability to be immune to ice and fire.

"There are many high-level soul beasts in Sunset Forest, so everyone be careful."

Ye Liangchen led everyone into the forest. This was his third time here, and he had a certain understanding of the forest.

"If you encounter a high-level ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, I'll help you deal with it. Those under ten thousand years old, you'll have to handle them yourselves. Is that alright?"

Looking at the group of girls, Ye Cailan felt that although Sunset Forest was dangerous, it was also the best place for them to train.

"Sister Lan, no problem. This is a good opportunity to test our team's true fighting power!"

Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the others hadn't had enough of the previous Five Elements Academy Exchange Tournament, so if they were to encounter a powerful thousand-year-old soul beast now, it would be a perfect opportunity to test their strength.

"Waaah..."

"Roar..."

After the group entered the forest, some hundred-year-old soul beasts were frightened, constantly howling and baring their teeth at the group as if issuing a warning.

"Meow..."

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing summoned her martial spirit and flew directly to the treetop to take on reconnaissance duties.

"Awoo..."

"Huff huff..."

Those century-old soul beasts probably sensed a threat and immediately began to flee in all directions in a frenzy.

"Xiao Qing, those hundred-year-old soul beasts mistook you for a tigress, and they were all terrified."

Shuiyue'er watched Zhu Zhuqing transform into a cat-eared girl, her cute yet fierce appearance both innocent and alluring, incredibly sexy, and couldn't help but tease her.

"Haha...! Xiao Qing's martial soul is the Netherworld Cat, so you could also call her a tigress."

"What are you saying, ladies?" Zhu Zhuqing was speechless. None of her good friends were serious.

"Little kitty, come down here! No need to investigate anymore, my spiritual power can sense powerful soul beasts at any time."

"Okay, Brother Chen!"

When Zhu Zhuqing thought of Ye Liangchen's abnormal mental power, she suddenly felt that what she was doing was a bit superfluous.

Half a day later, the group entered the depths of the Sunset Forest, where they encountered increasingly powerful soul beasts.

"Hiss..."

Just then, a giant human-faced spider, wielding three-meter-long scythe-like legs, charged towards the group.

"Manyo no Hikaru no Flow"

Ye Liangchen and Ye Lingling immediately took action, conjuring thousands upon thousands of green leaves and petals to attack the human-faced demon spider.

"Clang clang clang..."

Those leaves, sharp enough to cut through gold and jade, struck the human-faced spider with a crisp sound, as if hitting metal.

"Sisters, this is a 5000-year-old human-faced demon spider. Its combat power is almost equivalent to some ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts."

"Begin the battle."

"Chirp chirp..."

"Frozen and Snowy"

Shui Bing'er immediately summoned her martial soul and activated her soul skill to attack the human-faced demon spider.

"Dragon Emerging from the Sea"

A beautiful smile

"Netherworld Ghost Blade Slash"

"Turning the tides upside down"

"Raging waves"

"Snowstorm Technique"

"..."

Dugu Yan, Shui Yue'er, Zhu Zhuqing, Shen Liuyu, and others also quickly activated their soul skills and joined the battle, making for a very exciting scene.

"The weakness of the human-faced spider lies in the eyes under its abdomen. To defeat it quickly, you need to knock it over and attack its eyes."

Ye Liangchen and Ye Cailan kept watch over their surroundings while pointing out the weaknesses of the human-faced demon spider to Shui Bing'er and the others.

Fourth Soul Skill: Berserk Fury

"Roar..."

Shen Liuyu immediately activated his fourth soul skill, and the giant golden crocodile roared as it charged towards the human-faced demon spider.

"Dragon Probing its Claws"

"The sky meets the water"

"Manyo no Hikaru no Flow"

"Mystic Spirit Binding"

Xue Wu and the others worked together to defeat the Human-Faced Demon Spider, and Shui Bing'er took the opportunity to activate her fourth soul skill.

"Ice Arrow Technique"

"Swish, swish, swish..."

"Hiss..."

More than a dozen sharp, cone-shaped ice spikes pierced the eight eyes of the human-faced spider, killing it instantly.

"Wow! When sisters are of one mind, their strength can break metal!"

Shui Bing'er and the others were overjoyed to have killed a 5000-year-old human-faced demon spider, and they clapped and celebrated.

"We need to get out of here quickly. The fight we just witnessed might attract the attention of other powerful spirit beasts."

Ye Liangchen urged the women to leave the area quickly, otherwise they might be surrounded by other ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

……

Two days later, following the route he remembered, Ye Liangchen finally led the women to the outer perimeter of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"The poisonous fog left behind by my grandfather still hasn't dissipated?"

Looking at the green, poisonous fog, Dugu Yan felt a chill run down her spine. She had been here once before with her grandfather and experienced firsthand how terrifying it was.

"Sister Yan, that poisonous fog was created by the senior using a highly poisonous Seven-fold Seven-fold Flower. As long as that poisonous flower still exists, the poisonous fog will never disappear."

"I have an antidote pill. Everyone will be fine after taking it."

Ye Liangchen distributed the antidote pills to the women, and then led them through the poisonous fog.

"That's strange. We didn't find a single soul beast after passing through the poisonous fog. It seems we don't need to worry about soul beast attacks for a while."

Over the past two days, Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the others have encountered many powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts and even fought with them several times. They had to maintain a high level of tension at all times, but now they can finally relax.

"Wow! The Ice and Fire Spring is actually on a mountaintop, that's amazing!"

When Shuiyue'er and Xuewu arrived at the cliff above the Ice and Fire Spring, they were also stunned by the red and white springs in the valley.

"It's so high, probably several hundred meters deep. It would be difficult to go down."

"Little brother Xiaochen, Bing'er, little sister Zhuqing, and sister Lan, it's up to you all. Lingling's soul bone also has the ability to fly."

Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, Yu Hai Rou, Du Gu Yan, Qiu Ruo Shui, Gu Qing Bo, and Shen Liu Yu, who did not have flying skills, all turned their attention to Ye Liang Chen and his group.

"Don't worry, ladies! The five of us have flying skills, so we can easily take you down with us."

Ye Liangchen calmly said that with his current strength, taking three people down with him at the same time would not be a problem.

"Xiao Chen, take your sister down with you."

Shui Yue'er sprinted and pounced into Ye Liangchen's arms, then clung to him like an old tree root, giving him a passionate French kiss, which made the other girls roll their eyes.

"Really, Yue'er beat me to it. Bing'er, I can only rely on you now."

"Little Chen, Bing'er's embrace is so soft."

Xue Wu followed suit, clinging to Shui Bing'er and even turning back to tease Ye Liangchen.

"Haha...! Xuewu, your pose with Bing'er is so beautiful."

Ye Cailan, Yu Hairou, and the others couldn't help but giggle as they watched Xue Wu and Shui Bing'er being so intimate.

"Sister Hai Rou, let me take you down with me."

"Sister Lan, you can take two too, and Little Kitty and Sister Ling can each take one."

Ye Liangchen summoned the Goddess of Life Martial Soul, equipping her with divine gear, and then, holding Yu Hairou's hand, slowly flew down.

"Wow! This feels so good!" Shui Yue'er couldn't help but exclaim.

"Moon, we're jumping off a cliff right now, it feels like we're committing suicide with Little Chen."

Yu Hairou clung tightly to Ye Liangchen's right arm, wrapping her legs around him as if afraid of falling. A cliff several hundred meters high could be fatal for a Soul Master without flight skills.

"Sisters, we've arrived."

Ye Liangchen flew to the bottom of the valley and reminded the two women to get off him quickly.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

"The feeling of flying is so exhilarating."

Just then, Shui Bing'er, Ye Cailan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling also flew down with the other girls.

"Wow! Is this the Ice and Fire Spring? It's amazing! Even from so far away, I can feel the two extremely cold and extremely hot forces."

Shuiyue'er, Xuewu, and the others had never seen such a magical place before, and they found it incredible.

"Xiao Chen, many precious medicinal herbs have grown in the valley again."

"Yes! Sister Lan, it's been almost a year since we last picked herbs, so naturally many have grown back."

Looking at the vibrant valley, Ye Liangchen knew he could now refine some more Xuan Sheng Pills. However, the immortal-grade herbs had not yet formed. Even though he had left behind the roots of immortal herbs, the herbs that grew back would take tens of thousands of years to become immortal herbs.

"Apart from Sister Bing'er, Sister Lan, and Zhu Qing, no one else should go near the Ice and Fire Spring over there, otherwise those two forces will hurt you. I'm going to refine some pills for you now."

Ye Liangchen gave Shui Yue'er and the others a warning, and then began to pick some neutral and mild medicinal herbs in preparation for bloodletting and refining the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Pill.

"Moon, go to the edge and set up the tents."

"Xiaoqing, Sister Lan, let's help Xiaochen refine the pills."

Shui Bing'er assigned tasks to Shui Yue'er and the others, then pulled Ye Cailan and the kitten towards Ye Liangchen, who was refining pills by the Ice and Fire Spring. She took out three jade bottles and began to bleed him.

"Xiao Chen, take a look at the ice and fire energy in our blood. Is there a difference between it and yours?" Shui Bing'er handed the blood collected by the three of them to Ye Liangchen.

"Hmm! Pretty much, no big problem. Let's use these first and see how much we can refine."

Ye Liangchen collected the blood gathered by the three women and then began to concentrate on refining elixirs.

Shui Bing'er and the others watched Ye Liangchen refine pills, unable to offer any help. They could only fly out of the valley to fetch some firewood and water to start a fire and cook.
