202: Chapter 201: The Treasure Ahead is Destined for Me 202: Chapter 201: The Treasure Ahead is Destined for Me One must admit that Lord of Wine was incredibly powerful, having evolved such a variety of Pupil Skill attacks from an ancient inscription. Lin Xuan was immensely interested in the Soul Fire, as he discovered Lord of Wine divided the attack of Soul Fire into two engravings. One targeted the physical body, while the other aimed at the soul. Clearly, the attack on the soul was even more perilous. According to Lord of Wine, the Soul Fire would turn into a ball of flame that would directly incinerate the opponent to ash. However, this flame was extremely domineering and would also cause damage to one’s own eyes. “Soul Fire…” Lin Xuan repeated continuously. “Could it be transformed into a Soul Sword, after all, I possess the Great Dragon Sword Intent, it would be too wasteful not to use it,” Lin Xuan asked. “In theory it’s possible, but it seems even more dangerous,” said Lord of Wine slowly, “You first practice the initial engraving. Let me think about this Soul Sword.” In the following days, Lin Xuan began to comprehend the first engraving. A purple glow flickered in his eyes, gradually forming a rune, but it soon dissipated. Lin Xuan was not annoyed; he knew this kind of Pupil Skill couldn’t be learned in a day, and only through diligent practice would it work. Three days later, a peculiar engraving appeared in Lin Xuan’s right eye, emitting a mysterious aura. In the distance, an eagle flew by. Lin Xuan’s right eye targeted the eagle, and his Soul Power vibrated. Buzz! It seemed as though he saw the eagle’s soul being pulled into a separate Spirit Space, over which he was the Sovereign. In an instant, the eagle in the sky stiffened, and then plummeted straight down. “Go!” Lin Xuan closed the Spirit Space and released the eagle’s soul. Flap! Flap! Flap! The eagle, over ten meters in length, spread its wings and flew away rapidly. Lin Xuan let out a slow breath; he had only just managed to maintain the Spirit Space for three breaths’ time. However, as his Soul Power increased, the duration would become longer, and his Spirit Space would grow more refined. About two days later, we would reach Fire State. Zhao Xue saw Lin Xuan waking up and quickly spoke. She was shocked to see Lin Xuan’s Pupil Skill had advanced again, knowing that despite her own lengthy contemplation, she had only just touched the surface. Yet Lin Xuan seemed to have mastered even more. “Roar—” Suddenly, a roaring sound came from afar, quieting everything around. The Demon Tiger Lin Xuan sat on trembled as if it too was startled. Lin Xuan was surprised; these two Demon Tigers were Fourth-stage top-level demon beasts and, as tigers, they were acknowledged as the kings among beasts. Now, a single roar made them tremble, which signified how formidable the distant demon beast must be! Zhao Xue seemed to realize the severity as well, saying softly, “Let’s go around it.” Lin Xuan nodded, just about to agree. Suddenly, the Snow White Monkey rushed out, gesturing wildly at Lin Xuan. “Are you saying there’s a treasure?” Lin Xuan’s face lit up with joy. The Snow White Monkey had that same expression last time when he found the Ice Platform and the Profound Ice aura. Chitter! Chitter! The Snow White Monkey bared its teeth, its eyes narrowing into crescent moons. “Let’s go have a look!” Lin Xuan called to Zhao Xue. “Mr. Lin, let’s not go, it’s better we reach Dragon Rock City earlier,” Zhao Xue said anxiously. “I came out this time precisely to train, and with two and a half months to go until the Engraving Tower battle, there’s enough time,” Lin Xuan said. He didn’t stop but instead steered the Demon Tiger towards the direction of the roars. Zhao Xue clenched her teeth, left with no choice but to quickly follow. Although the demon beasts in the forest were numerous, the weaker ones were all intimidated by the sight of the two Demon Tigers. As for the more formidable ones, both Lin Xuan and Zhao Xue managed to avoid them with their exceptional Soul Power. Thus, the journey was very smooth for the two of them. Roar! Another thunderous roar erupted, as if countless Thunder Shocks were descending. Lin Xuan seemed to feel the restlessness of the golden arcs within his body, fostering a hint of doubt in his heart. “Could it be related to Thunder?” Lin Xuan wondered. “Then I definitely can’t miss out on this!” The closer they drew to the source of the roars, the slower the two Demon Tigers became. In the end, the two Demon Tigers stopped moving altogether, lying on the ground, trembling incessantly. To cause such an effect, it had to be at least a Fifth Rank Demon Beast—an existence on par with a Spirit Sea Seventh Layer Martial Artist! Zhao Xue wore a worried expression, “Mr. Lin, should we still go?” “Yes, I feel there’s a treasure there, and that thing seems to be fated for me,” Lin Xuan said. Zhao Xue looked at Lin Xuan with surprise in her beautiful eyes. “It’s what he said; I’m just translating,” Lin Xuan said with a smile, pointing at the Snow White Monkey. The Snow White Monkey sat on Lin Xuan’s shoulder, legs crossed, tiny paws propping up its chin, nodding earnestly. Zhao Xue’s mouth twitched, her facial expression quite unnatural. She realized that both Lin Xuan and the monkey were oddities! The two humans and one monkey abandoned the Demon Tigers and hastened towards the direction ahead. In the distance, a faint oppressive force came forth, causing Lin Xuan and Zhao Xue’s souls to tremble. “Such terrifying Demon Energy, this aura far exceeds that of a Fifth Rank Demon Beast,” Zhao Xue said with lingering fear. By now, she too felt a hint of curiosity. “Have you noticed, the air is filled with a Thunder Aura.” Lin Xuan, harboring golden lightning within him, had an even more acute perception. Zhao Xue’s soul stirred, she perceived for a moment, then nodded in agreement. “Indeed, there’s the presence of Thunder Aura, and it’s of a high grade. Could it be a Thunder Beast ahead?” Both enveloped themselves with Soul Power, not letting a trace of their presence leak out. Being First-grade Rune Masters, it was quite easy for them to do this. The Snow White Monkey also quieted down, lying on Lin Xuan’s shoulder. “Let’s go,” Lin Xuan whispered softly. Whoosh! Whoosh! They turned into silhouettes, darting out like startled cats. Crackle! After covering some distance, Lin Xuan observed that the branches around them all carried a hint of Thunder Aura. “It must be a Thunder Beast, just uncertain which kind!” The two reaffirmed their guess. Finally, they were drawing ever closer to the Thunder Beast. And they also discovered other people. Lin Xuan’s Soul Power reached out, his gaze gleaming as he looked into the distance. “Eh?” “It’s actually them!” Suddenly, he uttered a light sound of surprise, seemingly discovering something interesting. The group ahead wasn’t just anyone, it was people from the Qing State Cang Family. There were over fifty individuals, scattered ahead of them. Lin Xuan thought about it and then felt at ease; the Martial Arts of the Cang Family were related to Thunder, so their presence here wasn’t surprising. “There’s a team of about fifty people to the east,” said Zhao Xue. “The west is similar, and those people are my old adversaries!” Lin Xuan said slowly. “What do we do?” asked Zhao Xue. “Since we’ve come here, we obviously can’t go back empty-handed,” Lin Xuan said with a smile. “But with so many people, we’re no match for them!” Zhao Xue looked worried, “And I also sensed the presence of a Soul Fusion Realm Expert!”
