Chapter 13, the second cloud-nurtured goddess, the carrot-loving little bunny, has fed you the Azure Bull Python!
"He's too strong, so strong that it makes me despair. We're both the Blue Lightning Duo, but when our clansmen mention him, they only have his name in their eyes!"
"Looking at Yu Zhantian absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring, I realized that once he absorbs the 100,000-year soul ring and obtains a 100,000-year soul bone, his strength and prestige will be unprecedented, while I, Yu Zhanhui, the Blue Lightning Twin Heroes who are on par with him, will be completely reduced to a background figure!"
A sinister glint flashed in Yu Zhanhui's eyes.
"So... I ambushed him while he was absorbing the spirit ring, but I didn't expect him to be so strong. Despite his serious injuries, he withstood the soul impact of a 100,000-year-old spirit beast and brought me to the brink of death."
"You....."
Yu Tianfei's voice trembled.
"Fortunately, I won in the end. He was at his last gasp and died by my hand. I also took away the 100,000-year-old soul bone that originally belonged to him."
Yu Tianfei's mind went blank. He had never imagined that the family hero and his father's sworn brother would die at the hands of his own father.
He never imagined that his father's journey to becoming the family's top warrior would be so dramatic.
The reason I'm telling you all this is...
Yu Zhanhui helped his son up and patted him on the shoulder.
"What I want to tell you is that you must personally eliminate anything that becomes an obstacle in your path, whether it is a person or something else. Only in this way can you achieve clarity of mind and soar to new heights."
"But Father just said something about the clan leader..."
"Clan leader?"
Yu Zhanhui scoffed.
"Didn't I just tell you? The clan leader is busy dealing with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so now is your best chance."
He stared into his son's eyes.
"I don't know what method Ye Tianchen used to increase his soul power by seven levels in a year, but I suspect that Yu Zhantian must have left something for his son back then."
The hesitation in Yu Tianfei's eyes was gradually replaced by greed.
"Father meant..."
"Remember...."
Yu Zhanhui pressed down on his son's shoulder with such force that Yu Tianfei's bones cracked.
"Don't rush to kill Ye Tianchen. First, force him to reveal the secret of his seven-level increase in soul power in a year. If my son and I can find out this secret, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan might be under our control!"
Yu Zhanhui's voice reached Yu Tianfei's ears, causing the last trace of hesitation in his eyes to disappear, replaced by a chilling killing intent.
"Father, rest assured, I will make Ye Tianchen regret ever being born!"
"Very good." Yu Zhanhui patted Yu Tianfei on the shoulder. "Let's go help you obtain your third soul ring first. When you become a Great Soul Master, it will be the anniversary of Ye Tianchen's death."
...
Another half month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Ye Tianchen was only one step away from obtaining his first hundred-year soul ring.
He hired a soul-hunting team, but unexpectedly, this hundred-year-old soul beast produced a soul bone.
The value of the soul bone goes without saying. The soul-hunting team instantly turned against them. Fortunately, at the critical moment, two soul beasts that were nearly a thousand years old rushed out and began to attack indiscriminately.
Ye Tianchen took advantage of the chaos to escape, but when he returned, the dead hundred-year-old soul beast and the soul-hunting team had already disappeared.
"If I can't get my first spirit ring in the remaining two weeks, I'll have to use my trump card."
Resting his head on a tree trunk about ten meters above the ground, staring at the bright moon hanging in the night sky, Ye Tianchen sighed helplessly and slowly closed his eyes.
...
In the core area of the Star Dou Forest, beside a lake.
[Congratulations! You have been chosen by an all-knowing and all-powerful deity. He has bestowed upon you a test: there is only one object to nurture you in the cloud. Do you wish to choose the object to nurture you in the cloud?]
The voice that suddenly rang in her mind made the girl lying on a black mountain open her eyes, revealing pale red pupils like agate.
"That voice..."
Xiao Wu rubbed her sleepy eyes and then patted the ground beneath her.
"Erming, have you heard any strange noises?"
As Xiao Wu moved, the black peaks beneath her began to sway, and after a moment, golden eyes that were even higher than Xiao Wu's opened.
"What's that strange sound? Sister Xiaowu, are you dreaming?"
The Titan Ape spoke in a deep, booming voice, its breath easily creating ripples on the lake.
"Sister Xiaowu, what happened?"
At the same time, the water in the lake began to surge, and a dark shadow broke out of the water. It was a huge bull's head, but its body from the neck down was like a dragon or a snake, looking particularly strange.
"Big brother, Sister Xiaowu asked me if I heard any strange noises. I didn't hear anything just now. Did you hear anything?"
The Titan Ape looked at the Azure Bull Python and scratched its head.
"I didn't hear it either."
The Azure Bull Python gently shook its head.
"Neither of you heard that? Or am I hallucinating?"
Hearing that neither of them had heard anything, Xiao Wu's delicate round face showed a hint of doubt, and her scorpion braid behind her head swayed gently.
The thought had barely formed when the voice she thought was a hallucination rang out again.
[Cloud-raised items, everything you want is here! Feeding cloud-raised items will also earn you rewards, including but not limited to money, soul power, soul rings, soul bones... and more!]
[If you confess your feelings to your virtual pet in the future and it accepts your advances, you can also receive a super life gift pack!]
"Virtual pet ownership? Feeding the animals? Like raising a pet? Sounds interesting, why don't you give it a try?"
Xiao Wu's pale red eyes darted around, a hint of interest showing on her face.
Raising pets is not difficult at all. I've taken such good care of Daming and Erming, so I'm sure I can take good care of any virtual pets too.
The thought had just formed in her mind when, a second later, the voice in her head rang out again.
[Congratulations to Ye Tianchen on his cloud-based pet-raising project!]
You can choose one of the methods to feed your cloud-raised item based on the resources you have!
Immediately afterwards, a blue panel appeared in Xiao Wu's mind.
[Name: Ye Tianchen!]
[Age: 12 years old!]
[Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao! (Malignant Mutant Dragon Martial Soul)]
[Soul Power: Level 10!]
[Rank: Soul Warrior without Rings!]
"Hiss, this is my cloud-nurtured item? Isn't it a bit too... weak?"
Looking at the information listed on the panel in her mind, Xiao Wu gasped.
"Luo Sanpao's martial soul? It seems familiar... I remember now, that master's martial soul that's full of theories is Luo Sanpao's. For a malignantly mutated dragon-type martial soul like this, the soul ring should be a dragon-type soul beast, and the older the better. Only in this way is it possible for the martial soul to evolve. But where can we find such a dragon-type soul beast? We can't just send Da Ming away, can we?"
...
[A little bunny who loves carrots is virtually raising you...]
[A little rabbit who loves carrots has fed you a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Azure Bull Python!]
