Soon, the news that Lin Yu had knocked out Ye Xiuqi with a single kick quickly spread throughout the Pope's Hall.
A small display of skill once again shocked the entire Pope's Hall.
This matter quickly reached the ears of the Seven Great Sacrificers.
The elder sacrificers all smiled knowingly upon hearing it.
Qian Daoliu was especially proud and said, "Xiao Yu will surely become the brightest rising star among all the talents in our Martial Soul Hall!"
At the same time, Bibidong, sitting on the Pope's throne, was greatly shocked: "What did you say!? That Lin Yu has already reached Soul Power Level 18? And with one kick, defeated a core disciple who nearly has the strength of a Level 21 Great Soul Master?"
"Yes, Your Holiness," Xie Yue lowered his head and replied.
"That kid is even more talented than I imagined," Bibidong's heart darkened as murderous intent flashed through her eyes.
A year ago, when she noticed Lin Yu had obtained the divine inheritance, Bibidong had such thoughts.
But as the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, Bibidong knew how difficult it was to become a god. She understood that obtaining a divine inheritance didn't guarantee success in becoming a god; failure was also possible.
So, she hadn't paid Lin Yu much attention.
But today, Lin Yu's first public display revealed his brilliance and extraordinary talent, forcing Bibidong to feel wary of him again.
Her eyes turned cold: "This kid is highly favored by the Sacrificer Hall, protected by those elder sacrificers. If I want to eliminate Lin Yu…"
"Forget it. I'll observe him for a few more years. But if he grows too fast, I will have no choice but to find a way to get rid of him!"
The next day, early morning.
Lin Yu, still sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by the loud sound of the door being kicked open.
Lin Tian burst in excitedly, planting multiple kisses on Lin Yu's little face. "Mu Ma~ Mu Ma~ Mu Ma!"
"Hahaha! Not bad! You little guy! No wonder you're my Lin Tian's son—training for just one year and you've already defeated a Level 19 soul master with a single kick. Dad's proud of you!"
Lin Yu wiped the drool off his face left by his father, feeling a bit helpless: "Dad, you get news way too fast."
"Dad, you're too excited. Did I wake you up? Go back to sleep for a bit."
"No, I'm up now."
Since Qian Renxue had woken him up with a punch a year ago, Lin Yu no longer slept in late.
He got up every day at 7 a.m.
While washing up, Lin Yu said to Lin Tian, who hadn't left yet, "Dad, I'm heading out on a trip today."
"I heard from the Grand Sacrificer. Go ahead, son. With Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, the two elder sacrificers protecting you, Dad is very reassured!"
"Uh, hehe, alright then, I'm off."
Dressed, Lin Yu stepped out of the Angel Clan's territory.
After meeting up with Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, the three set off immediately by carriage toward Sunset Forest.
"Finally heading to Sunset Forest. I wonder if Qian Renxue has settled things over there."
Three months ago, Lin Yu had already learned the news.
Xue Luochuan, the second prince of the Tiandou Empire, died unexpectedly, indicating Qian Renxue had eliminated him.
Now she only needed to fake her death to escape, then she could leave the Tiandou Palace.
But due to the second prince's death, the Tiandou royal family was watching Qian Renxue even more closely.
First, they suspected the deaths of the second and third princes were related to her.
Second, they feared that the disguised eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, might also be dead.
So now, faking her death to escape was extremely difficult for Qian Renxue.
"Better to take it slow. Hopefully, she won't rush and cause problems," Lin Yu thought as he watched the carriage slowly leave Martial Soul City.
This was Lin Yu's second time leaving Martial Soul City in seven years.
The first time was a year ago, when Qian Daoliu took him to Star斗大森林 to acquire soul rings.
This time, the destination, Sunset Forest, was near Tiandou City, quite far from Martial Soul City, requiring at least ten days of travel, passing through several large and small cities along the way.
So this was truly Lin Yu's first real contact with and understanding of the human world outside Martial Soul City.
Most of this world was uninhabited wilderness and mountains.
Humans were densely populated in cities and the surrounding villages and towns; beyond these, there was little human settlement.
As Lin Yu expected, this world was indeed quite dangerous.
Except for the cities and nearby villages where security was better, life outside had almost no guarantees — chaos and poor security prevailed.
Even in the cities, many officials, nobles, and aristocrats oppressed the people and acted lawlessly.
During the journey through several cities, Lin Yu witnessed many imperial officials and nobles bullying ordinary people by abusing their power.
Although the Martial Soul Hall's influence spread across the continent and had several such "rotten apples," Lin Yu could foresee that the two great empires had even more of these corrupt elements.
Soon, after more than ten days,
Lin Yu, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo were about to reach Sunset Forest.
"Xiao Yu! Up ahead is Sunset Forest. This place is filled with poisonous mists, and there are many poisonous soul beasts above the millennial level here. But don't worry, Grandpa Qianjun will carry you inside."
"With Grandpa Qianjun's soul power protecting you, these poisonous mists definitely can't harm you," said Qianjun Douluo confidently.
Jiang Mo Douluo said, "Brother, you take good care of Xiao Yu. If we encounter Dugu Bo, I'll take care of him."
"Xiao Yu, don't worry. This trip, we'll definitely help you find the so-called immortal herb resource you mentioned."
"Thank you, Grandpa Qianjun, Grandpa Jiang Mo."
Lin Yu naturally felt at ease. Qianjun and Jiang Mo were both Level 96 titled Douluos. Their strength could easily handle someone like Dugu Bo.
"That kid, saying thanks to us — but what exactly is this immortal herb resource you mentioned?" The twin brothers were very curious.
Lin Yu explained, "They are some extremely rare and precious herbs in the world. These rare herbs hardly exist outside, and can be considered heavenly materials and earthly treasures that appear once in tens of thousands of years."
"Each one has different miraculous effects. Some can consolidate the foundation and nurture vitality, improving a soul master's soul power and innate talent."
"If used properly, they might even help strong experts like Grandpa Qianjun and Grandpa Jiang Mo break through bottlenecks that they've been stuck at for many years."
"Wow~ Is it really that powerful?"
"Hehe, yes!" Lin Yu smiled.
"Then let's hurry inside and find these immortal herb resources quickly. Xiao Yu, get on!"
"Okay!"
Lin Yu nodded and leapt onto Grandpa Qianjun Douluo's back.
The two Level 96 peak titled Douluos then swiftly entered Sunset Forest with Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was protected by Grandpa Qianjun Douluo's powerful soul energy, so the poisonous mists could not threaten him at all.
The poisonous soul beasts they encountered along the way were all scared off by their overwhelming aura.
Before long,
Qianjun and Jiang Mo led Lin Yu past the poisonous mist forest and arrived at the central area of Sunset Forest.
