Gu Yue nodded, her expression less cold and more obedient. His serious look now seemed a little different from her previous impression of him.

　　"Xiaoyan, you have to come with me to kill the Flame Lion King."

　　Then Lin Xuan looked at Xu Xiaoyan again and pointed at the sky. At some point, bright stars had appeared in the sky, and the dazzling starlight fell from the sky.

　　"Ah! There's also my business..."

　　Xu Xiaoyan pursed her lips and said nervously, "I don't think I can do it. I hope I won't hold them back."

　　"I only have one chance to strike with my sword. If it dodges, it will be on high alert and it will be hard to find another chance to kill it."

　　After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he put his hands on Xu Xiaoyan's shoulders and looked at her sincerely.

　　"I believe you, Xiaoyan!"

　　"Well... leave it to me!"

　　Xu Xiaoyan's eyes, which were evasive at first, gradually became firm. Although they had only been together for one day, she didn't want to disappoint Lin Xuan.

　　"Okay! It's up to you."

　　Lin Xuan smiled and pinched Xu Xiaoyan's face to lighten the atmosphere.

　　snort!

　　Xu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, and her nervousness eased a lot, but she still snorted in her heart and pinched her face again.

　　Must be put on the account!

　　Lin Xuan rushed towards the Flame Lion King with a sword in hand, and Xu Xiaoyan followed far behind him. She had to stay at a certain distance to be able to control the Flame Lion King in time.

　　The Fire Lion King looked at Lin Xuan who was rushing towards him alone, and a hint of disdain flashed in his golden eyes.

　　Foolish human, how can you challenge the majesty of the Fire King?

　　It just growled at the few fire lions beside it and continued to chant, wanting to release the Sky Flame Funeral once again to send this group of people to the west.

　　The Flame Lion King looks huge, but contrary to common sense, it is actually just a wizard.

　　"roar!"

　　After receiving the order from the leader, several fire demon lions rushed towards Lin Xuan together.

　　Lin Xuan was delighted when he saw this. He had just wanted to charge straight into the lion group, but he didn't expect that the lion king would make a clever move to free himself up.

　　Lin Xuan rushed into the lion group coming towards him. A bloody light flashed in his eyes. His speed soared and he passed the lion group in a few flashes.

　　"Xiao Yan! Do it!"

　　Lin Xuan roared, and his whole body became one with the sword, transforming into a silver sword light in mid-air and slashing towards the Fire Lion King in the distance.

　　"roar!"

　　The Fire Lion King roared and looked at the terrifying sword light in horror. It smelled a hint of death from it.

　　It no longer dared to be arrogant at this moment, and quickly dispersed the golden flames that condensed around it. Its concentrated spirit broke the blockade of Lin Xuan's will, and it turned around and wanted to escape.

　　"The stars in the sky are bright and shining, forever shining, and forever peaceful! Starlight, give me strength!"

　　Xu Xiaoyan, who had followed closely, let out a soft moan and raised the ice staff in his hand high, drawing a faint golden starlight to the top of the staff.

　　At the top of the ice staff, the golden starlight gathered and transformed into a golden halo with a hexagram inside.

　　"roar!"

　　The hundred-year-old flame demon lions also discovered Xu Xiaoyan's existence, and several balls of flames spewed out of their mouths and flew towards her.

　　"Star Wheel Chain!"

　　Looking at the flying flames, a trace of fear flashed in Xu Xiaoyan's eyes, but when she saw Lin Xuan's figure in front of her, her pretty face turned pale but she still gritted her teeth and persisted, continuing to release her first soul skill.

　　Rays of starlight rose from the soul ring and lingered around Xu Xiaoyan. She, who was originally weak and fragile, now seemed to have become a goddess who controlled the stars, noble and elegant.

　　Xu Xiaoyan waved the Star Wheel Ice Staff lightly, and a golden hexagram flew out from the top of the ice staff and fell towards the Flame Lion King in the distance.

　　As the hexagram fell, golden lights bloomed from under the feet of the Flame Lion King and transformed into starlight chains that bound it firmly in place.

　　"Bang!"

　　As the flames fell, several layers of ice shields suddenly appeared in front of Xu Xiaoyan, blocking them one by one. Xu Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Gu Yue behind him with gratitude.

　　On the other side, the Flame Lion King was controlled in place by the starlight chains. The silver sword light transformed by Lin Xuan, with its sharp edge, penetrated into its huge body.

　　A white sword light flashed in the air, and Lin Xuan's figure appeared behind the Flame Lion King.

　　"boom!"

　　A thin black line appeared on the head of the Flame Lion King and gradually spread to the whole body, splitting it into two. Its body, as big as a hill, split from the center of the top of its head and fell to both sides with a loud bang.

　　A golden spiritual light penetrated into Lin Xuan's body, and then a burning feeling suddenly surged in his body.

　　Lin Xuan felt something strange in his body and frowned, but when he found that it didn't have much impact, he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he turned around and used a few swords to kill the remaining hundred-year-old demon lions.

　　"Hehe! Lin Xuan, am I awesome?"

　　At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan jumped over with a smile and gave him a big hug.

　　"Awesome!"

　　Lin Xuan praised. He really didn't expect that the Fire Lion King's mental power was so strong. If it weren't for Xu Xiaoyan, it might have run away.

　　"boom!"

　　As the two were talking, the battle next door was coming to an end.

　　Wang Jinxi's huge bone dragon claws were holding down the Millennium Demon Lion's front claws, while Tang Wulin jumped onto its head and killed it with a golden dragon claw.

　　This battle ends here!

Chapter 43 Soul Transformation

　　"Brother Xuan! Why do I feel tingling all over my body?"

　　After Tang Wulin came over, he asked Lin Xuan puzzledly.

　　"You have just absorbed the spiritual power of the thousand-year-old demon lion. Now your soul needs to be upgraded. Get out first! The soul-upgrading platform can only accumulate spiritual power, but cannot complete the upgrade."

　　Lin Xuan smiled slightly and said to him. Originally, he thought that he could also perform soul raising in the soul raising platform.

　　Later he realized that he had overestimated the Spirit Ascension Platform. After all, this was just a semi-virtual and semi-real world, and their bodies were not real.

　　"Um!"

　　Tang Wulin nodded, pressed the metal distress button, and disappeared from the spot.

　　"Hahaha! Then I'll leave first. I have to go out and mock those two noobs Xie Xie and Yangzi."

　　Immediately afterwards, Wang Jinxi also chose to leave. After fighting such a big battle, he was tired.

　　"Xiaoyan, how long will it take you?"

　　Lin Xuan suppressed the spiritual power that was about to stir in his body and asked Xu Xiaoyan.

　　"Half an hour left."

　　Xu Xiaoyan said.

　　"Then let's just sit down for a while!"

　　Lin Xuan hugged Xu Xiaoyan with one hand and jumped lightly onto the big tree next to him. The two of them sat on the branches and quietly looked at the twinkling stars in the sky.

　　The spiritual power he had accumulated was already enough, and with so little time left, he was too lazy to look for soul beasts again.

　　"Lin Xuan, you are so awesome!"

　　Xu Xiaoyan leaned against the tree, supporting his head with one hand, looking at Lin Xuan beside him, with admiration and yearning in his eyes.

　　The charm of Lin Xuan's sword just now was firmly imprinted in her mind. At that moment, Xu Xiaoyan felt that her heart had stopped beating.

　　"Really? I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm still far from being a real strong man."

　　Lin Xuan shook his head and smiled, his eyes leisurely.

　　Even if a Titled Douluo is just an insignificant chess piece after more than ten years, this plane does not belong to soul beasts or humans, but is in the hands of certain people.

　　Whether it was the thousands of years of war with the abyss, or the tens of millions of people who would be reduced to ashes in Shrek City in the future, they were nothing more than cold numbers in the eyes of others.

　　Only strength can allow Lin Xuan to control his future. This is why Lin Xuan is determined to improve his strength by any means necessary.

　　Whatever the Spirit Pagoda was like, or what the Tang Sect was like, as long as it could help him improve his strength quickly, it made no difference to him.

　　If he was really desperate, the Holy Spirit Church and the Abyss Plane were not out of his consideration. Lin Xuan had no sense of belonging to these things, they were just tools.

　　Xu Xiaoyan looked at the absent-minded Lin Xuan, who had a melancholy temperament that was not usually there. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and her face turned slightly red.

　　"Ding!"

　　A sound was heard, and Lin Xuan came back to his senses.

　　"Why are you still here?"

　　Lin Xuan glanced at Gu Yue who had jumped up, raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise. He thought Gu Yue had already left with Tang Wulin and the others.

　　"Humph! Can't I chat with... with her?"

　　Gu Yue snorted coldly and looked at Xu Xiaoyan beside Lin Xuan. In fact, she didn't know why she stayed here for some unknown reason.

　　Lin Xuan: ...

　　You can't even remember someone's name, what's the point of chatting?

　　Gu Yue pretended not to notice Lin Xuan's gaze, walked forward, pushed Lin Xuan aside, and sat next to Xu Xiaoyan.

　　"Hehe! Sister Guyue, thank you for just now!"

　　Xu Xiaoyan thanked Gu Yue. Compared to Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan was much more practical.

　　"Yeah! That's what I should do."

　　Gu Yue nodded and spoke in a slightly stiff tone.

　　If the master has high emotional intelligence, all he says are valuable advice. If the master has low emotional intelligence, he won't be able to chat.

　　Fortunately, Xu Xiaoyan is a good chatterbox and managed to bring up the topic.

　　Lin Xuan glanced at the two people who were chatting increasingly heatedly and shrugged.

　　Well, we can still chat.

　　…

　　After leaving the Soul Ascension Platform, Lin Xuan did not choose to continue his soul ascension in the Soul Transmission Tower, but returned directly to school.

　　Although Lin Xuan didn't know what that ray of golden spiritual power was, the heat it brought was quite extraordinary. Lin Xuan felt that it was probably not a simple thing.

　　If the staff of the Spirit Transmission Tower discovered any abnormality during the soul-raising process, it is not impossible that they would slaughter him or even capture and slice him into pieces.

　　After all, the Spirit Tower has many secret experiments, and it seems that in the original book, it even has cooperation with the Holy Spirit Church.

　　Donghai College.

　　Lin Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground. The green-leaf sword bamboo emitted a faint yellow glow, and the green leaves swayed in the air.

　　The wisps of spiritual power that were previously in the Spirit Ascension Platform were absorbed, and a golden stream of light quietly climbed up the bamboo body of the Green Leaf Sword Bamboo like a flowing flame.

　　As time passed, the Green Leaf Sword Bamboo swayed slightly, and a purple light burst out from its inside, followed by two purple soul rings rising from behind Lin Xuan.

　　Spiritual ascension completed!

　　Lin Xuan opened his eyes. He turned his gaze to the Green Leaf Sword Bamboo behind him. At this time, it had not yet completed its transformation. The golden spiritual power from before turned into a ball of light that enveloped the Green Leaf Sword Bamboo.

　　After being promoted to a thousand-year soul, Qingye Jianzhu's originally weak consciousness has now grown a lot.

　　Just now, Qingye Jianzhu gave him information about the golden spiritual power, which was the blood power of a mutated soul beast. At this moment, it was absorbing this power.

　　Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Xuan was sorting out the changes in his two soul skills after his soul was upgraded to a thousand years.

　　First of all, the first soul skill, the Green Leaf Sword Formation, has a coverage range that is no longer limited. It all depends on Lin Xuan's own soul power input. Based on his current level 23 soul power, it can expand to a maximum range of 40 meters.

　　In addition, the Qingye Sword Formation has an additional skill effect, which increases the damage of sword energy within the range of the Qingye Sword Formation by 30%.

　　The second soul skill, Unparalleled Sword Dance, doubles the basic speed and attack, and also adds an additional soul-devouring effect.

　　Every time he attacks an enemy, he will extract a portion of energy from its body to enhance the amplification effect of the Wushuang Sword Dance, up to a maximum of twice the amplification effect. After the amplification reaches the maximum, the excess energy will be used to extend the duration of the Wushuang Sword Dance.
