Chapter 36: Burst Step
Pei Qing descended from the sky, looked at the soul ring in front of him, nodded, and then spoke to Ye Lingling.
"A 1,700-year-old Ancient Wood Spirit shouldn't be a problem for you, Sister Lingling, after absorbing the Immortal Herb and Whale Rubber, so feel free to absorb it. Sister Yan and I will protect you here!"
Ye Lingling nodded and quickly sat down near the soul ring to begin absorbing it.
More than half an hour later...
Ye Lingling, who had finished absorbing the soul ring, opened her eyes, a look of joy on her face.
Her healing ability had once again significantly improved; the Ancient Wood Spirit, as a Soul Beast, truly didn't disappoint her.
Her healing ability had nearly doubled. Now, she was probably no worse than her grandfather was when he had four soul rings.
"Lingling, how is it?"
Dugu Yan, seeing her good sister awaken, quickly went up to her and asked curiously.
"Mm, I feel great."
Ye Lingling nodded and directly told Dugu Yan and Pei Qing about all her improvements.
"If an Ancient Wood Spirit can bring you such a great improvement, Sister Lingling, then if you could hunt an Emerald Swan for your fourth soul ring, to what extent would your healing ability improve?" Pei Qing said with a smile.
The Emerald Swan is the strongest healing Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent, with its leader, Bi Ji, possessing over 500,000 years of cultivation.
If Ye Lingling could hunt such a Soul Beast to serve as her soul ring, her Nine Heart Flowering Apple Martial Soul would likely see a huge improvement, and it's even possible for her Martial Soul to evolve.
"Emerald Swan? You brat, you dare to think big, but I advise you to just think about it and stop there. Don't go courting death."
"Otherwise, I alone won't be able to save you."
Dugu Bo appeared behind Pei Qing. Hearing his words, he immediately rolled his eyes, reached out, and smacked him on the head, speaking in an annoyed tone.
How could an Emerald Swan be easily hunted? There aren't many Emerald Swans on the entire Douluo Continent, and the appearance of every Emerald Swan attracts a large number of Soul Beasts around it.
Even with Dugu Bo's strength, it would take a lot of time to kill one.
For Pei Qing to go kill one by himself would simply be suicidal!
"Grandpa Dugu, how embarrassing! And you're a Titled Douluo!"
Pei Qing spoke with feigned disdain. Of course, he knew the Emerald Swan's uniqueness; saying this now was purely to annoy Dugu Bo.
"Heh, you brat, it seems I need to teach you a good lesson."
"Old man, you're bullying the young!"
"I'm a grandfather disciplining his grandson!"
"I'm not your grandson!"
Between their banter, the group returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
As soon as he returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Pei Qing heard some news.
Yu Tianheng had dropped out!
At the same time, a Genius Soul King teacher named Qin Ming also left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Yu Tianheng.
This news made Pei Qing slightly stunned; the butterfly effect he had started was finally beginning to stir up a hurricane.
The first to be affected was Yu Tianheng, the genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
He hadn't expected Qin Ming to have already joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy so early, and even leave with Yu Tianheng.
Where could they go? Could it be that he was taking Yu Tianheng to Shrek Academy?
Although Yu Tianheng's age exceeded Shrek's regulations, with Qin Ming there, Flender probably wouldn't refuse such a connected person.
After all, Yu Tianheng was Qin Ming's disciple, and also the nephew of Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong.
However, this matter was an insignificant triviality to Pei Qing, as he had never considered Yu Tianheng an opponent.
If he were to constantly focus on Yu Tianheng, his future would likely be unremarkable.
Pei Qing stayed alone in his dormitory, pondering whether his True Sun Fire could be developed a second time.
Using the explosion of flames to propel himself at extreme speed!
Let's call it... Burst Step!
Pei Qing thought of a certain Dou Skill of a certain Flame Emperor next door; this was the self-created Soul Skill he could develop most easily.
With the enhancement of the Taiyi Breathing Technique, Pei Qing's control over his soul power could be said to be 100%.
As long as he practiced for a long time, he would be able to find the most suitable flame explosion to extract for himself.
However, to master the Burst Step initially, certain requirements must be met, such as the lower limbs being able to withstand the power generated by the flame explosion; otherwise, he would only end up paralyzed in the lower body.
With his current strength, as long as his fourth soul ring does not exceed 20,000 years, there will be no problem.
It's just that after reaching the Ultimate Fire, his cultivation speed has noticeably slowed down.
While ultimate attributes can bring immense power, they can also, to a certain extent, reduce one's cultivation speed.
This situation will only be alleviated after breaking through to Level 70.
This is not incomprehensible, as the power of ultimate attributes far surpasses that of Soul Masters of the same level.
Every Soul Master with an ultimate attribute is an existence that suppresses their generation.
For the next period, Pei Qing was either cultivating Burst Step or studying Soul Master knowledge.
During his leisure time, he would return to the Crown Prince's Palace and cultivate his Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Qian Renxue.
Soon, four months passed, and Pei Qing's cultivation increased from Level 37 to Level 38.
His and Qian Renxue's Martial Soul Fusion Technique had become quite proficient, and its power far exceeded what it was when they first managed to fuse. Most importantly, the power of their Martial Soul Fusion Technique was so great that even a Soul Saint would be instantly annihilated.
Even with a full-power Burst, a Soul Douluo could be severely injured if they weren't careful.
This was the terrifying might brought by the fusion of four ultimate attributes of Martial Souls. If Pei Qing's fourth soul ring and Qian Renxue's sixth soul ring fused, even a Soul Douluo would likely be killed.
It's possible to instantly heavily injure a Titled Douluo. After absorbing the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Qian Renxue's cultivation rose to Level 58, and four months of cultivation allowed her to increase to another level, just one step away from breaking through to Soul Emperor with six soul rings.
These four months weren't just for Pei Qing and Qian Renxue; Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling also saw improvements.
Dugu Yan only increased by one level, reaching level 39, and Ye Lingling, the auxiliary Soul Master, also increased by one level.
She had originally reached level 35 after absorbing the soul ring, coupled with the residual medicinal power of the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid.
And after four months, she had already reached level 36.
These days marked a period of immense improvement for Pei Qing, not only in cultivation but also in knowledge.
At the same time, he also studied Yu Xiaogang's Ten Theories of Martial Soul. To be fair, some of them were genuinely useful for people from common backgrounds, but several were just filler nonsense that anyone would know.
This made Pei Qing find it difficult to evaluate Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. It could be said that Yu Xiaogang had contributed to ordinary commoners; the only downside perhaps being his excessive cowardice, especially concerning relationships.
