56: I've kowtowed to the Soul Bone.

"Boss, thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank, do not underestimate a young girl's poverty! I, Tian Yue, have returned!"

Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out from the courtyard entrance.

Looking toward the sound...

Tian Yue walked into the courtyard aggressively.

With her left hand on her small waist and her right hand raised, she pointed at Su Wen: "Big Brother, I want to challenge you!"

After speaking, she folded her arms, her delicate chin slightly raised.

A pair of bright eyes were full of pride and provocation.

"Pfft!"

Hu Liena and Dugu Yan glanced at each other and let out amused sounds.

"Tian Yue, have you slept yourself silly?"

Hu Liena walked forward with swaying hips and chuckled, "I can beat you until you run away with your head in your hands without even needing Senior Brother. Or have you forgotten the temperature of my flames?"

"You Fox Spirit, you're no longer worthy!"

Tian Yue gave a light snort, and the Golden Emperor Crocodile Spirit appeared. Beneath her feet, one yellow and two purple rings emerged.

Three spirit rings, a configuration exceeding the norm, slowly rose.

Hu Liena and Dugu Yan were both stunned.

It wasn't strange for Tian Yue to have a purple spirit ring.

After all, her physique had reached the standard half a month ago.

But being a three-ring Spirit Elder exceeded their expectations.

Su Wen was also somewhat surprised.

The Aura on Tian Yue's body wasn't that of an ordinary three-ring user; it was almost close to a Spirit Ancestor.

"You... did you take drugs?"

Hu Liena suppressed her shock and pointed at her with a face full of disbelief: "You're crazy... it's over, it's over. Don't even think about catching up to me in this lifetime; you've ruined your future!"

"Tch, I don't care for drugs!"

Tian Yue curled her lip and then said proudly: "I absorbed a Spirit Bone!"

"..."

Everyone suddenly understood. No wonder she improved so fast; she had a Peak Douluo grandfather behind her.

Dugu Yan felt a pang of envy. They both had grandfathers, so why was the difference so huge?!

"Hmph, before I couldn't absorb the Spirit Bone because of my physical condition, but now that my body is better, I immediately absorbed the Spirit Bone Grandpa gave me!"

"Tian Yue, Level 39 Battle Soul Master, please advise!"

Tian Yue looked at Su Wen, and the latter's lips curled slightly, carrying a hint of a playful smile: "Since you're so confident, I'll have a match with you."

"Come on, Boss, don't say I'm bullying you. Use your full strength, otherwise, it'll be so embarrassing if word gets out that you lost to your little lackey, haha... you, you..."

Tian Yue's laughter stopped abruptly, and her bright pupils instantly dilated.

Beneath Su Wen's feet, three spirit rings—one yellow, one purple, and one black—slowly rose.

The moment the black spirit ring rose, Tian Yue, Hu Liena, and Dugu Yan all widened their eyes.

"Use my full strength? Then I won't be polite!"

Su Wen didn't wait for them to react, lighting up his first and second spirit rings in succession.

Though there was no wind in the courtyard, gusts of yin wind began to blow, and the clear sky darkened almost instantly.

Fallen leaves fluttered about.

The flowers and grass in the courtyard swayed unsteadily in the yin wind.

A Rou and Ah Yin instantly appeared on both sides in front of him, with one yellow, one purple, and one black ring beneath their feet.

Two Ghost Brides appeared on either side of Su Wen.

Another person appeared behind him, holding an ancient book, wearing a wedding dress, and floating in the air.

The veils on the Ghost Brides' heads were moved by the yin wind, and through the haze, one could see pale, delicate cheeks marked with a few runes, and fierce blood-red eyes staring at Tian Yue.

The three Ghost Brides also had a spirit ring configuration of one yellow, one purple, and one black.

As a hazy mist appeared around them, two Lantern Ghosts and two Pipa Ghosts appeared in front, and accompanied by the sound of laughter and operatic singing, two Ghost Dancing Maidens leisurely appeared.

One of the Ghost Dancing Maidens was wrapped from head to toe in white bandages, which hugged her body perfectly, revealing every curve.

However, red blood dripped from the gaps in the bandages from time to time, seemingly indicating there was no skin... The other Ghost Dancing Maiden wore a large crimson dress, with smooth pink hair falling like silk; from her back alone, her figure was graceful and soul-stirring.

But half of her face was lost to darkness, and her eyes were filled with a dangerous temptation, like a poisonous poppy.

The ghostly laughter and operatic singing mixed together without any discordance, yet it was hair-raising to hear.

Hu Liena, Dugu Yan, and Tian Yue froze in place, feeling a chill all over and unable to stop their bodies from trembling.

Tian Yue looked at this shocking scene, her face turning pale, and she spoke with a halting voice: "B-Big Brother, this isn't fair. I wanted to fight you, not them..."

Su Wen smiled: "Then I'm really sorry, but these are my Spirit Abilities. You can't possibly forbid me from using my Spirit Abilities, right?"

Tian Yue shrank her neck: "Big Brother, I, I don't want to fight anymore."

"You say you don't want to fight and that's it?"

Seeing this, Hu Liena and Dugu Yan silently retreated to the side.

Tian Yue wanted to say something else, but Su Wen gave a light snort: "Beat her!"

"Don't hit my head..."

Tian Yue held her head in her hands and immediately crouched down.

"Don't hit my face, boohoo..."

Fifteen minutes later.

Tian Yue stood behind Su Wen with a pitiful expression, massaging his shoulders with her small hands and nuzzling him to curry favor.

From time to time, she glared at the gloating Hu Liena and Dugu Yan.

"Your Soul Power rose too quickly; you need to stabilize it for a while."

"Grandpa also told me not to Cultivate for a while and to stabilize my Foundation first!"

Tian Yue hummed while massaging his shoulders: "I can go to the Spirit Master Academy tomorrow too, it's just that I can't be in the same class as Big Brother. I'll probably have to go to the High-Level Spirit Master Academy. Big Brother, you're also at three rings now, can you also promote to the High-Level Spirit Master Academy?"

"Yeah, but it's not time for the new term yet, so I'll probably stay for a bit longer."

"Hehe, Big Brother, how were you able to absorb a ten-thousand-year ring for your third spirit ring?"

As soon as Tian Yue said this, Dugu Yan and Hu Liena both looked at Su Wen curiously.

A ten-thousand-year third ring was indeed astonishing. They had heard that to absorb a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast, besides a qualified physique, one's Mental Energy also had to reach the level of a Spirit King or above.

"I'll tell you guys later!" Su Wen reached out and pinched Tian Yue's lazy face, then flicked her forehead before letting her go: "Go and Cultivate!"

Tian Yue rubbed her cheek and turned around dissatisfied to start practicing with Hu Liena and Dugu Yan.

For the following period of time, Su Wen returned to his normal life.

One day, Su Wen was sleeping soundly in his bed.

Ye Yuaner pushed open the door and walked into the room with a face full of joy: "Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen, come quickly and see, Auntie has made a Breakthrough."

Su Wen was shaken awake and let out a yawn. Before he could speak, he received a kiss on the cheek.

"Hahaha, Auntie is happy today, I'll take you out to celebrate..."

Ye Yuaner didn't care that he was dazed and forcibly dressed him.

"Aunt Ye, it's just Level 95; there's no need to be so excited!"

"Pah, listen to you, as if Level 95 is worthless!"

Su Wen tidied his clothes and jumped off the bed, yawning: "Teacher is already a Limit Douluo!"

Ye Yuaner's expression twitched, suddenly feeling a sense of being struck down.

"So, Aunt Ye still needs to work hard!"

Su Wen patted her waist solemnly.

Ye Yuaner's face darkened with frustration. Just as she was about to ravage him, Su Wen suddenly spoke: "A celebration is still a celebration. Let's go kill a few people to celebrate."

Ye Yuaner: "???"
