Chapter 91 Absorbing Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower

After absorbing the spirit skull and the flame right arm bone, Yan's improvement was enormous, especially in terms of spirit.

Two days ago, Yan expressed to Yue Guan his plan to go out alone to gain experience with great anticipation.

Although Yue Guan was a little worried, he also understood Yan's determination to become stronger.

Now, seeing Yan’s transformation, Yue Guan’s worries were slightly alleviated.

"Yan, you are so young, but you already have two soul bones, and even a pair of external soul bones. This growth rate is really amazing."

Yue Guan felt sincerely relieved.

"Your future will definitely be bright, but the prerequisite is that you have to live well. The outside world is full of unknowns and dangers. When you are out there, you must protect yourself."

"Well, I will."

Yue Guan suddenly thought of something and reminded:
"By the way, you can now absorb that cockscomb phoenix sunflower. Its power complements the fire in your body and will surely take your strength to a higher level."

"Well, that's what I meant."

The cockscomb sunflower has always been in Yan's hand. He didn't absorb it before because he was worried that his soul power would increase too quickly and arouse Bibi Dong's suspicion.

Now, the Soul Master Competition has ended.

Next month, he will leave Wuhun City to gain experience outside, so naturally he won't have to worry about this anymore.

Afterwards, under Yue Guan's care, Yan took out the cockscomb sunflower from the Wanling Treasure Gate, adjusted his state, and began to absorb it.

During the absorption process, Yan could feel the extremely yang and strong power contained in the cockscomb sunflower continuously flowing into his body.

That power combined with his fire attribute made the fiery aura in his body more vigorous and purer.

It only took Yan one hour to completely absorb the cockscomb sunflower.

He opened his eyes again and saw Yue Guan's expectant expression.

"It looks like you've absorbed it completely. How does it feel?"

Yan stood up and said happily:
"I feel very good. My body seems to be stronger, and the flames in my body are more fierce. I can summon pure yang fire with stronger burning ability."

"That's great. Your soul power should also be improved, right?"

"Well, I've increased by two levels. Now I'm level fifty-nine."

[Note: In the original novel, Ma Hongjun was promoted by 5 levels after eating this, but he was promoted from level 31. Yan was promoted by 57 levels from level 2, and the increase in soul power did not decrease.]

Yue Guan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"In just two days, you absorbed two soul bones and a top-grade immortal grass, and instantly rose four levels. It won't be long before you can break through level 60 and obtain the sixth soul ring. By then, you will become the youngest soul emperor in the history of the Spirit Hall."

"Teacher, I have to thank you for my rapid improvement. Without your guidance, I would not even have the opportunity to touch those magical herbs."

"Okay, don't be so modest. Everyone has seen your hard work, and you deserve this."

Yan and Yue Guan chatted for a while and then returned to the academy.

As soon as I returned to my residence, I ran into Xie Yue and Hu Liena, the brother and sister.

They also knew that Yan had been in Yueguan's mansion for the past two days.

Xie Yue stepped forward and greeted him.

"Brother Yan, you're back."

"Yeah. It's so late, you haven't rested yet."

"I couldn't sleep, so I just wanted to see if you were back, and then I saw you."

As Xie Yue was speaking, he noticed something strange about Yan.

Yan's fiery red hair turned dark red, and the flame patterns on his body also disappeared.

"Brother Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Yan smiled calmly.

"Don't be surprised. After I absorbed the spiritual skull, my spiritual power increased hundreds of times. I can better control the flames in my body and control them freely."

"I see. Was the flame right arm bone also absorbed?"

"Yes. Your two soul bones should have been absorbed as well, right?"

Xie Yue and Hu Liena smiled at each other.

"Well, we have also absorbed it." Hu Liena suddenly asked:
"So how is your soul power improving?"

“Improved by two levels.”

"So you are level 57 now?"

An expression of envy immediately appeared on Hu Liena's face.

"Ah."

Yan nodded in response, not wanting to tell them that he had absorbed the magic grass yet.

"How about you? How much have you improved?"

Xie Yue replied:
"I've been promoted one level, and Nana has been promoted two levels. We're both at level 53 now. Compared to you, we're still a long way behind."

"Just because I'm ahead now doesn't mean I'll always be ahead. Maybe you two will catch up in the future."

Although the spiritual head that Yan absorbed was of extremely high quality, it improved his mental strength more.

What Hu Liena absorbed was also a spiritual skull of extremely high quality, but it had a power of charm, which perfectly matched Hu Liena's fox martial soul, so her soul power was enhanced even more.

Xie Yue suddenly sighed.

"I used to look forward to the Soul Master Competition every day, but after it ended, I felt empty inside."

"Everyone is the same."

"By the way, Brother Yan, what are your plans next?"

"I don't have any specific plans yet. What about you?"

Xie Yue and Hu Liena looked at each other.

Hu Liena said:
"I want to go to Death Canyon for training."

"Go to Death Canyon? Isn't that a place that everyone avoids? Have you thought about it?"

Hu Liena nodded, her eyes firm and she said:
"To be honest, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have won the Soul Master Competition. So, we still failed. Going to Death Canyon for training is a form of self-punishment."

Yan knew that Hu Liena was a very strong-willed person and she would do what she wanted.

Xie Yue asked:

"Brother Yan, if you feel bored, you can go with us."

Yan shook his head.

"I may also need to go out and gain experience, but I want to go alone."

"What? You're going alone?"

"Yeah. Don't worry, I will protect myself."

After hearing this, Hu Liena felt a little disappointed.

She had a feeling that after the Soul Master Competition, the distance between her and Yan would grow larger and larger.

In the past, Yan tried to please her in every way, but she ignored him.

But now, she felt that she had some feelings for Yan, but Yan's mind was no longer on her.

Of course I have some regrets.

But how could she, who has always been so strong, show it easily?
That night, Hu Liena lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She swore that she must become stronger as soon as possible, catch up with or even surpass Yan. Perhaps only then would Yan change his mind.

~~~~~~
Time flies.

Before he knew it, it had been a month since Yan left Wuhun City.

He headed north, asking questions as he went.

One day, he came to a small town.

This town is not big, but as soon as you step in, you can feel a weird atmosphere.
