Chapter 31:Breaking the Limits, an 1800-Year-Old Soul Beast.
Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
The campsite is an open space.
Yu Xiaolie stood straight in the center of the arena, his posture upright, his eyes fixed on Zhu Si not far away, his gaze burning with a fierce fighting spirit, a light of extreme thirst for power.
Zhu Si sighed helplessly. He had lost count of how many times this had happened. Every day, the kid would come to challenge him like he was on steroids.
A soft white halo slowly emanated from his body, and the light-attribute soul power flowed around him, illuminating the surrounding air.
He was troubled. Every time he fought Yu Xiaolie, the kid acted like he didn't care about his life, so he couldn't bring himself to use too much force.
Yu Xiaolie took a deep breath, bent his legs slightly, lowered his waist, and looked like a cheetah about to pounce on its prey.
He had only one thought in his mind.
It devoured and absorbed Zhu Si's luminous soul power.
Immediately afterwards, he shouted loudly, and a flash of light appeared behind him, instantly revealing his martial spirit, Luo Sanpao.
"roar!"
Luo Sanpao looked up to the sky and roared.
"First Soul Skill: Devouring Breath!"
Yu Xiaolie roared, and a soul ring with yellow and purple hues appeared.
Zhu Si's eyes sharpened, and he quickly formed hand seals. The Holy Lotus of Light's soul power instantly condensed into a layer of defense in front of him, firmly protecting him within it.
Luo Sanpao rammed into him hard, but Zhu Si didn't budge.
Upon seeing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Yu Xiaolie's eyes.
He knew that Zhu Si's spiritual power was strong, and each time he blocked Zhu Si's attack, he would consume a certain amount of spiritual power, which was a good opportunity for him to absorb it.
So he urged Luo Sanpao to launch continuous attacks, while he himself used fighting skills to ambush Zhu Si.
The human and the pig worked together very well.
As Zhu Si parried the attacks, he shouted loudly.
"Yu Xiaolie, that's enough, don't hurt yourself!"
However, Yu Xiaolie turned a deaf ear!
As the battle continued, Yu Xiaolie's strength gradually gave out. Sweat soaked his clothes, and his legs began to tremble slightly.
But he gritted his teeth, braced himself, and continued to direct Luo Sanpao to launch the attack.
Zhu Si looked at the swaying Yu Xiaolie, his heart filled with worry.
"You better not die by my hand, you're still Boss Yu's nephew after all!"
Yu Xiaolie still did not respond until he had absorbed the last bit of light soul power and reached the limit of absorption. Only then did his legs go weak and he collapsed to the ground.
Despite the excruciating pain throughout his body, a slight smile of satisfaction appeared on his lips.
...
Every battle with Jus is a double test of his body and will, and rapid recovery is crucial for him.
However, in the past few months, Yu Xiaolie has gained very little from the archives. He even considered giving up on these useless materials and never stepping into the archives again.
He frowned, his gaze sweeping across the rows of bookshelves, his fingers lightly gliding over the old books, stirring up a fine cloud of dust.
"Fine, this is the last time."
Xiao Lie patted the bookshelf, as if saying goodbye to an old friend.
Perhaps due to Xiao Lie's years of training, a gentle tap caused the entire bookshelf to shake violently.
Bang!
The booklets on the shelf suddenly fell all over, almost burying him alive.
"Cough cough cough~"
Yu Xiaolie waved his hand, dispersing the dust, and glanced helplessly at the scattered booklets on the ground.
Suddenly, a book with an old-fashioned cover and covered in dust caught his eye—"The Records of Ancient Plants and Trees".
He dusted off the book and began to read it.
Yu Xiaolie's eyes widened instantly, and a hint of unbelievable surprise flashed in his previously dim eyes.
As he turned the pages, knowledge of herbal medicine, like a ray of dawn, illuminated the confusion that had long troubled him.
It's actually exactly what I wanted!
He was secretly amazed, and his heart began to beat faster involuntarily.
This ancient book, which has been sealed away for who knows how many years, records in detail the usage methods of various important herbs.
When Yu Xiaolie saw the record that holding the Life Grass in one's mouth and meditating could accelerate recovery, a resolute look flashed in his eyes.
"Give it a try!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he closed the book and ran towards the warehouse.
Yu Xiaolie rummaged through the mountain of herbs, his hands constantly pushing aside layers of covering.
Finally, in a corner, he found the life-giving herb.
Yu Xiaolie carefully picked up the Life Grass, put it in his mouth, then sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to meditate and cultivate.
At first, the pain in my body still surged like a tide, but gradually, a cool power spread through my body.
As Yu Xiaolie felt this power, the damage to his flesh and blood was almost completely healed over time.
He slowly opened his eyes, which shone with a satisfied light. Although he was still tired, he was full of strength.
...
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
At the edge of the sunset forest, inside a tent where troops are stationed.
Yu Xiaolie was dressed in a blue robe, his posture as upright as a pine tree. He closed his eyes, and his soul power flowed slowly around him.
For the past two years, he has been getting up before dawn every day to cultivate.
As Xiao Lie's soul power level gradually increased, he found that each level was becoming increasingly difficult to advance.
Fortunately, he had a deep understanding of herbs, and he gradually figured out the secret of how soul power and herbs complemented each other, which became the key to his rapid improvement in soul power.
At this moment, he could clearly feel his soul power surging within his body, about to break through that shackle.
Yu Xiaolie slowly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
He strode quickly toward the wooden table piled high with herbs, his fingers deftly tracing the various herbs.
He is no longer the novice who only knew how to simply take herbs.
He has a deep understanding of the characteristics of each herb and knows how to cleverly combine them to maximize their effects.
He picked up a spiritual herb that emitted a faint glow, gently crushed it, and mixed it with several other herbs. His movements were fluid and seamless.
After preparing the medicine, Yu Xiaolie tilted his head back and swallowed the herbs. He then sat cross-legged again and began to fully circulate his soul power.
His breathing gradually became rapid, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his body trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he was under tremendous pressure.
But he gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing a fierce determination to never give up.
Before long, Yu Xiaolie's soul power became increasingly dense, forming a faint halo that enveloped him.
Suddenly, a deep, muffled thud came from his body, and he abruptly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
Finally, I've reached the level 20 threshold and am about to break through!
He silently cheered in his heart, and couldn't help but smile with a hint of satisfaction.
That day, as usual, Yu Xiaolie sat cross-legged on the open ground outside the camp, his eyes closed, his soul power flowing around him almost imperceptibly.
He frowned slightly, immersed in his understanding of soul power, trying to break through to the next level.
Suddenly, a commotion broke the silence.
Yu Xiaolie suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze instantly sharpening, and quickly got up and walked towards the source of the sound.
A soldier was seen riding a horse, holding a flag used by the Heavenly Dou Empire to issue orders.
An order came from the royal court: the emperor wanted to eat the soul beast meat of the Spirit Moon Divine Deer, and the stationed troops were ordered to hunt it down immediately.
"Another soul beast that's not in our enclosure. We have to go into the forest to hunt it again," a soldier muttered in complaint.
Upon hearing this news, Yu Xiaolie remained completely unmoved.
In the past two years, he has always taken the initiative to participate in every mission the team has.
In his view, since the Snake King and his second uncle agreed to let him stay, he had to play a role and couldn't just eat and take things in the camp.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaolie quickly returned to his tent, tidied up his equipment, grabbed the herbs he had prepared, and strode out of the tent.
At this moment, Zhu Si was already standing in the center of the camp, selecting team members and preparing to form a hunting squad.
Yu Xiaolie walked up to Zhu Si without hesitation and looked at him with a slight smile.
Without him having to say anything, Zhu Si nodded to signal him to join.
A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
Soon, a five-person team was assembled and set off.
Zhu Si walked at the front of the group, with Yu Xiaolie close behind. Their shadows were stretched long by the rising sun.
