"The Crown Prince's self-created soul skill is truly incredible! Its power is comparable to that of a ten-thousand-year soul ring skill!"
Li Hu offered a flattering comment. While there was a hint of exaggeration, it still couldn't obscure the overwhelming power of the technique.
"With this skill alone, His Highness could go head-to-head with any Power Attack Battle Soul King!"
"That's certainly true..."
Dai Weisi looked down at his hands. If Tempest Starcloud Slash leaned more toward speed, then the Aurora Divine Wind Claw was undeniably focused on raw power.
He had already reached Rank 48 as a Battle Soul Ancestor and possessed an external soul bone. Against anyone below Soul Emperor level, he was virtually unmatched.
And if he teamed up with Zhu Zhuyun to use their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, even a Soul Emperor would have a hard time against them.
"Brother-in-law, are you here? My sister and I came to play with you!"
Speak of the devil, and she appears.
Just as Dai Weisi and Li Hu finished their sparring match, the Zhu sisters arrived. Two years had passed, and Zhu Zhuyun had only grown more beautiful.
Her jet-black, shoulder-length hair framed her tall, graceful figure—curvy, alluring, and downright fiery.
She wore a form-fitting black leather outfit that showed off her incredible physique. Her long, shapely legs were emphasized by sleek black heels as she slowly approached along the street.
Her body had also developed impressively over time—especially her chest, which was now fuller, fiercer, and stood even prouder!
As for Zhu Zhuqing, she wore the same outfit as her sister. Her figure was also well-developed, and her own "twin peaks" were eye-catching, though compared to Zhu Zhuyun, there was still quite a gap. She had only just begun to blossom.
The two sisters walked hand-in-hand. Thanks to Dai Weisi's influence over the past two years, Zhu Zhuyun had never once bullied Zhu Zhuqing. Like ordinary girls from a happy family, the sisters shared a close and affectionate bond, as though they had long forgotten that they were once mortal enemies.
"Heehee! Weisi, guess what? I have good news—my soul power has reached Rank 40!" Zhu Zhuyun announced excitedly. Her exquisite face could hardly contain her joy.
When she smiled, two sweet little dimples appeared, making her look irresistibly adorable.
"Really? Zhuyun, you've reached Rank 40 already?" Dai Weisi immediately embraced her, clearly thrilled on her behalf.
Zhu Zhuyun had only been born with Rank 6 innate soul power—lower than Zhu Zhuqing—and unlike him, she hadn't been a transmigrator blessed with cheats. Reaching Rank 40 in just two years was already a remarkable achievement.
It was largely thanks to her consuming large amounts of ten-thousand-year whale glue. After all, in the original story, even by the time of the Soul Master Tournament three years later, Zhu Zhuyun had only reached Rank 47.
"Would I lie to you? Do you have any idea how hard I've been training these past two years?"
Zhu Zhuyun puffed out her proud chest with an expression full of pride, as if to say, Hurry up and praise me! Come on, I earned it!
"Haha, of course I know. That's why you're my amazing wife! You've been working so hard—for your husband! Hehe." Dai Weisi chuckled as he gently patted her head, the way one would a pampered kitten.
"Ugh, how many times have I told you—stop calling me that! It's so embarrassing!"
Zhu Zhuyun blushed deeply, pouting in playful protest. But for all her verbal resistance, her body told a different story.
She lowered her head shyly and gently leaned into Dai Weisi's hand, letting him stroke her hair. In fact, she clearly enjoyed it.
And to be fair, so did Dai Weisi. As a certified cat lover, how could he possibly resist such a sexy and obedient little kitty?
Zhu Zhuqing: "..."
Smelling the sour stench lingering in the air, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but feel speechless. She shot her sister and brother-in-law a look of utter disdain.
These two were fine in every other respect—except their relentless habit of flaunting their affection at all times and places. Over the past two years, she had lost count of how many times she'd been force-fed this nauseating "dog food."
She hadn't even eaten lunch yet, but just watching this lovey-dovey couple made her feel full—maybe even a little bloated!
At that moment, Dai Weisi noticed Zhu Zhuqing and smiled. "Zhuqing, you've been working hard too, haven't you? You've already reached Rank 27."
Without Zhu Zhuyun targeting her, and with the help of the ten-thousand-year whale glue, Zhu Zhuqing had reached Rank 27 over the past two years—an entire year ahead of where she was in the original timeline.
"This is all thanks to you, Brother-in-law," Zhu Zhuqing replied with a small smile, her cheeks tinged with a faint blush. "Even with your busy schedule, you still took the time to guide me in my cultivation."
Over the past two years, Dai Weisi had done more than just offer guidance—he had also practiced Martial Soul Fusion Techniques with her.
Since they both possessed the Hell Spirit Cat martial soul and Zhu Zhuqing didn't reject him, they were naturally able to perform the Netherworld White Tiger.
At this point, Dai Weisi could perform the Netherworld White Tiger with either Zhu Zhuyun or Zhu Zhuqing.
Of course, every time he performed it with Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun would get jealous.
A moment later, Dai Weisi reluctantly withdrew his hand from Zhu Zhuyun's head and said with a smile, "Zhuyun, since your soul power has reached Rank 40, let's go get you your fourth soul ring."
"Mm! That's exactly why I came looking for you!"
"I want to come too," Zhu Zhuqing added. At Rank 27, she would soon be heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain her own soul ring. Tagging along now would help her acclimate to the environment.
"In that case, we should ask Dean Lin to join us," Dai Weisi suggested, thinking of Lin Qiuyang. For the safety of the two girls, it would be best to bring a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse.
"Exactly what I was thinking."
With that, the four of them set off by carriage toward the Star Luo Royal Academy. Naturally, for the prince's safety, Li Hu followed them every step of the way.
When Lin Qiuyang learned that the trip was to help the future crown princess obtain a soul ring, he didn't hesitate for a moment. He immediately set aside his duties and accompanied the group to the Star Dou Great Forest.
A week later, they finally arrived. Since it was still early in the day, they didn't stop to rest and headed straight into the depths of the forest.
As for the risk of soul beast attacks? Dai Weisi didn't give it a second thought. With a Soul Douluo like Lin Qiuyang on their side, what was there to be afraid of?
Not to mention, his soul tool ring still contained a thousand grenades. If he set them all off at once, even a hundred-thousand-year soul beast would be seriously injured.
In the two years since, the Forgemaster Association had already produced over a hundred thousand grenades. The number of forgemasters was also steadily increasing.
While Luo Gao remained the only divine-grade forgemaster, there were now over a hundred advanced forgemasters.
Once they reached the inner forest, the group dismounted to search for soul beasts. This area was frequently visited by thousand-year beasts, so they were bound to find one suited for Zhu Zhuyun.
"By the way, Zhuyun, what kind of soul skill are you hoping for as your fourth?" Dai Weisi asked.
After a brief moment of thought, Zhu Zhuyun replied, "I want a powerful offensive skill, or maybe a support-type amplification skill."
"My first skill, Netherworld Thrust, boosts my speed. The third, Netherworld Springfall, is good for controlling enemies. But the second, Netherworld Hundred Claws, can't deliver a decisive blow."
"If I could get a strong attack skill, it would greatly enhance my damage output. And if I got a percentage-based amplification skill, it would boost my combat power across the board."
