If he had been caught off guard and brought close by that level-six high-explosive fixed-mount soul-guided cannon, he might not have fared much better than that Azure Roc Soul Saint.

Imagine if he and Yu Tianhuang were to create some distance between themselves and engage in combat.

Even without using his own soul skills, Yu Tianhuang could suppress him from beginning to end simply by relying on the arrows connected to the fixed soul guidance cannon.

"That's the power of my Golden Eye Martial Soul." Xu Zihuang smiled calmly, glancing sideways at Lang Ya beside him.

"I believe this cannot be hidden from Senior Langya's discerning eyes."

"Tianhuang, the talent of your Golden Eye Martial Soul is even more powerful than I imagined." Langya sighed bitterly and frustratedly.

"Why didn't our Body Sect find you first?"

With his spiritual power also at a tangible and substantial level, and possessing the cultivation of a Title Douluo, he saw something even deeper.

"However, I still firmly believe that you will have a better future in our Body Sect." At this point, Lang Ya suddenly switched to mental communication. This was a method of using mental power at the tangible and tangible realm, even capable of reading minds within a certain distance.

"Our Body Sect's lineage has passed down a powerful secret technique related to the second awakening of the Body Martial Soul at the Gold level. If you are willing to join our Body Sect, I believe the Sect Master will be happy to teach you this secret technique. This secret technique will surely enable you to perfectly develop the potential of your Golden Eye Martial Soul."

When he saw Yu Tianhuang's sixth spirit ring, which had lasted for 100,000 years, he knew that offering other conditions to win Yu Tianhuang over was pointless. The Body Sect had a ten-thousand-year history, but was Shrek Academy any less impressive?

Shrek Academy is capable of helping Yu Tianhuang obtain a 100,000-year-old spirit ring and spirit bone, and will not lack any top-tier cultivation resources. That's why he made an exception and revealed this secret that only a Title Douluo-level elder of the Body Sect knew.

Xu Zihuang pondered for a long time, and also communicated with Lang Ya using his spiritual power.

"Senior Langya, I may not be able to give you a definite answer at the moment."

"No need to rush. If you are interested, you can contact us at any time. Our Body Sect will always welcome your return." Even with Lang Ya's composure, he was overjoyed at this moment.

Yu Tianhuang's hesitation precisely proves that the Body Sect's secret technique is extremely attractive to him.

Now that Dragon God Douluo has perished, their Body Sect has nothing to worry about when making contact with Yu Tianhuang.

Langya smiled and said to everyone, "Alright, it's getting late, everyone go into your tents and rest. I'll take care of keeping watch tonight."

Langya was clearly the most authoritative among Vina's group. No one questioned him when he spoke.

Xu Zihuang was the first to stand up, greet everyone, and then crawl into the leather tent behind him. Mo Feiyun, on the other hand, waited until Vina and Muxue had gone back to rest before making any move.

Vina and Muxue entered the same tent hand in hand.

Noticing something amiss with Vina, Mu Xue, whose face was usually cold, revealed a smile.

"What? Is Yu Tianhuang so charming that he's bewitched you?"

Vina blushed slightly after her secret was exposed, and pouted her red lips, saying, "Sister Xue, how dare you say that to me? Weren't you the same just now?"

Mu Xue looked closely into Vina's eyes with a half-smile and shook her head.

"I don't like boys who are younger than me."

Upon hearing Mu Xue's words, Vina's eyes lit up. Then, belatedly, she noticed the inexplicable meaning in Mu Xue's eyes.

"So you're treating me like a rival now?" Mu Xue snorted irritably and sat cross-legged on the bedding.

Vina felt her cheeks burning, and she smiled as she sat down, leaning against Mu Xue's delicate body. The two were too familiar with each other, and she could naturally tell that Mu Xue wasn't truly angry.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xue."

After being pestered and teased by Vina for a while, Mu Xue's deliberately tense expression finally softened.

"Vina, with Yu Tianhuang's talent and abilities, he certainly won't lack outstanding girls around him. If you like him, you must make your move as soon as possible. You are the princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, so beautiful, and a genius with twin martial souls. As long as you take action, who can compete with you?"

“But I heard that he and Ning Tian of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School…” Vina was still a little hesitant, muttering to herself.

However, before she could finish speaking, Mu Xue coldly interrupted her.

Do you think you're inferior to Ning Tian?

Vina is a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, while Mu Xue and Ning Tian are heirs of top-tier Soul Master sects near the Heavenly Dou City, the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire. The three are of similar status and had many interactions during their childhood. However, Mu Xue's family has close ties with the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family, making their relationship even closer.

Mu Xue gently stroked Vina's fair and delicate cheek.

"Given Ning Tian's personality, his initiative to approach Yu Tianhuang may not be entirely pure."

Vina seemed to be persuaded somewhat, blushing as she whispered, "Sister Xue, what do you think I should do?"

"You can stay here with me tonight," Mu Xue said with a smile, pulling Vina into bed.

"Um……"

Vina and Muxue talked until late that night. Vina called Muxue "Sister Xue" not only because Muxue was older than her, but also because they were actually cousins ​​by blood.

Meanwhile, Xu Zihuang returned to his tent and immediately entered a meditative state. With his current level of mental strength, he could separate two thoughts, one residing in his spiritual sea and the other in his second sea of ​​consciousness.

During meditation, a portion of the mind rests in the sea of ​​consciousness, while the remaining trace of thought in the second sea of ​​consciousness mobilizes spiritual power to perceive the external environment.

It was essentially like multitasking. His externally projected spiritual energy happened to perceive the conversation between Vina and Muxue, and his expression instantly turned strange.

……

Nothing was said that night. It was early summer, and the nights in the northern part of the continent were exceptionally short. In just about four hours, the eastern horizon began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

The five of them got up early, had breakfast, and prepared to set off again for Qianling City in the northeast corner of the Douling Empire.

Yesterday, Langya took the initiative to invite Xu Zihuang to go together, and Xu Zihuang naturally agreed without hesitation.

Mo Feiyun packed up the leather tent and was the last to come to the group.

"Let's go." Lang Ya glanced at everyone, nodded slightly, and then took the lead in leaping up.

Xu Zihuang, Vina, and Mu Xue also released their flying soul tools and took to the air. Mo Feiyun's way of flying was quite unique; a cloud of ethereal white mist enveloped his body, making him appear as if he were riding the clouds, following behind the others.

Xu Zihuang could clearly sense that this would hardly deplete Mo Feiyun's soul power.

No wonder he could travel long distances without using a flying soul tool, given his level of eight Soul Douluo cultivation.

This is precisely the innate ability of Mo Feiyun's martial soul, just like the dynamic vision of Xu Zihuang's Golden Eye martial soul. It is a martial soul instinct that advanced martial souls possess innately.

“Master Mo’s martial soul is the cloud; it’s his innate ability.” Vina smiled faintly as she flew alongside Xu Zihuang.

Vina was still the same as yesterday, her captivating smile full of gentleness, but she was noticeably less shy.

"It is indeed a very powerful martial soul," Xu Zihuang praised.

Mo Feiyun, who was lagging behind the others, smiled sheepishly.

"These are just some petty tricks; they don't deserve to be called powerful."

The group chatted as they made their way toward Thousand Spirits City in a harmonious atmosphere.

Chapter 302 Shen Ce and An Lengye

In order to accommodate Vina and Muxue, Langya, Mo Feiyun, and Xu Zihuang naturally could not fly at full speed.

Often, after flying for a period of time, Vina and Muxue, who were only at the Soul King level, had to stop to recover their soul power.

But Xu Zihuang wouldn't have this problem at all. He wouldn't need to do anything; the spiritual attribute soul core located in another space between his eyebrows would automatically absorb the elemental energy of heaven and earth from the air and integrate it into his body, just like a black hole vortex.

Not only was his soul power not depleted at all, but it was also subtly improving his soul power cultivation. Simply put, the existence of the soul core was equivalent to keeping him in a state of cultivation at all times.

If he subjectively controls his soul core to absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth for cultivation, his cultivation speed will increase exponentially.

After condensing and fusing the soul core, his cultivation speed at least doubled. At this rate, he should be able to break through to the Soul Saint level within about a year.

Moreover, the Soul Core not only restored his Soul Power, but also the Spiritual Power in his Sea of ​​Spirit. Now, his ability to sustain combat is even greater than that of a Soul Douluo powerhouse like Mo Feiyun.

It can be said that his overall abilities in all aspects are no less than those of a typical Title Douluo; the only thing he lacks is his soul power cultivation.

The Lingbei Grassland is located in the north-central part of the Douling Empire. Starting from here, the group entered the northern border of the Douling Empire in less than half a day.

A biting, icy wind raged through the air, and as far as the eye could see, all that could be seen was a world of white snow. After flying northeast for another two hours, they finally caught sight of the outline of a majestic city in the distance.

Although Qianling City is also situated in a snowy landscape, its environment is quite different from its surroundings. The massive city walls that encircle Qianling City are particularly impressive. In terms of scale, Qianling City surpasses even Xingluo City, the capital of the Xingluo Empire.

Thousand Spirits City is quite close to the far north, where the environment is harsh and food is scarce, and spirit beasts often roam out in search of sustenance. The city walls were built not only to shield against the cold winds but also to defend against these wandering spirit beasts.

This far north is different from the Star Dou Great Forest. Soul beasts that can survive in such an extremely harsh environment are generally not weak, and many of them have their own groups. Those like the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm are ultimately a minority.

Even the stray spirit beasts are highly aggressive, like the Icefield Wolf. To ensure the safety of nearby residents and passersby, the Thousand Spirit City Guard patrols the area around Thousand Spirit City around the clock.

Vina was, after all, a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, with a special status. Even Lang Ya, who was confident in his strength, did not want to stand out too much and thus bring potential danger to Vina. He led the group to land in a mountain valley about five kilometers away from Thousand Spirit City.

The terrain here is relatively high; climbing the nearby hill, which is about 100 meters high, allows you to overlook the entire Thousand Spirits City. From here, you can also see the boundless deep blue sea to the east of Thousand Spirits City.

The snow-white city of Qianling and the deep blue sea formed a striking contrast. Snowflakes drifted down, landing on the ground and also on the sea, but the sea, influenced by ocean currents, did not freeze, and waves surged.

"Huff—" Vina and Muxue supported each other, their mouths slightly open, their full chests heaving. Their martial souls were both ice-attribute, not because they were unaccustomed to such a cold environment, but because using a flying soul tool to fly all the way had consumed too much of their soul power.

The flying soul tools they used were considered extremely advanced in the original Douluo Continent, but they still lagged behind Xu Zihuang's flying soul tool, which used the latest bionic soul tool technology from Mingde Hall.

The most crucial issue was that their flight soul tools lacked the function of releasing a light membrane to reduce air resistance and cold winds. Furthermore, they were flying against the wind, making the extreme consumption of soul power predictable.

In order to temper the will of Vina and Muxue, Langya and Mo Feiyun did not offer any assistance.

The group prepared to change into fur coats before entering Thousand Spirit City.

With their level of soul power cultivation, they wouldn't be affected by the low temperature around them, but changing into warm fur coats would make them more comfortable. Moreover, if they remained in their previous thin clothing, it would be tantamount to indirectly indicating their identity as soul masters.

Having anticipated this, Lang Ya and Mo Feiyun took out ordinary black fur coats. Combined with their unremarkable appearances, they looked like ordinary people who had lived here for years. No one would associate them with powerhouses at the level of Soul Douluo and Title Douluo.

Vina and Muxue calmed their disordered breathing slightly and changed into matching thousand-year-old snow fox fur coats. The snow-white fur blended almost seamlessly with the surrounding environment, fluffy yet not bulky, fitting perfectly to their bodies and cascading down to their calves, further accentuating their tall figures.

One was gentle as water, delicate and pitiful; the other was aloof and noble, proud and unyielding. The two women standing together created a beautiful sight.

Finally, there was Xu Zihuang, dressed in a thousand-year-old sable fur coat. The sable's downy fur, his deep purple eyes, and the few strands of purple hair on his forehead and temples complemented each other, instantly overshadowing Vina and Muxue in terms of temperament.

Turning around and seeing the ethereal Xu Zihuang, both Vina and Muxue were taken aback. Muxue's expression didn't change much, but a hint of shyness unconsciously appeared in Vina's clear, light green eyes, like emeralds.

It's human nature to like beautiful things. Even if she wasn't particularly obsessed with looks, Xu Zihuang's flawless face and temperament would still please her.

Langya asked Xu Zihuang in a friendly manner.

"Tianhuang, I heard you come from Dragon City in the northern border of our Tianhun Empire. How are you? Are you getting used to the climate here?"

"I'm used to it. Dragon City is much colder than Thousand Spirits City," Xu Zihuang replied with a smile.

On the other side, Vina was gently pushed by Mu Xue to Xu Zihuang's side. Vina was, after all, a princess of a country. Although she was still embarrassed, she maintained a calm expression and echoed her words.

"When Sister Xue and I went to the far north to obtain our fourth and fifth spirit rings, we traveled there through Dragon City. The temperature there is indeed much lower."

Langya smiled and reminded him.

"Let's go into the city first and then rest."

He could certainly see through Vina's little schemes, and he was quite happy to see it happen. If Vina and Yu Tianhuang really got together, it would be a great blessing for both their Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire.
