In the Infinite Desert.

On the outskirts.

Lin Yuhan landed in a town in a sorry state, muttering to himself, "That Tang San, actually left me behind. Although I did hide in the shadows, there was no need to treat me like I didn't exist, right? It made me fly all the way here from the core area... Damn it, don't give me a chance to catch you."

The more Lin Yuhan thought about it, the angrier She became, but eventually, She calmed down and found the local Spirit Hall. She wrote a letter, reporting the recent situation and asking the local Spirit Hall to send it to Spirit City. Then, She headed towards the direction of Nuoding City.

Nuoding City.

In the backyard of the Spirit Hall.

Tang San returned to rest for three days, only to be visited by Lin Yuhan, who didn't say a word, but directly pulled down his pants and gave him a fierce beating.

Tang San's face turned red, shouting, "What are you doing? Protecting me like this? And, male and female shouldn't touch each other, what were you pinching me for?!"

Lin Yuhan, having vented her anger, felt refreshed and satisfied, saying, "Of course it's for your protection, to confirm your resilience against beatings."

Tang San had nothing to say and could only glare at Lin Yuhan fiercely. He slowly put on his pants, while Guangling, beside him, finally lowered her hands covering her eyes, her fingers still slightly apart, her face flushed.

"I'm leaving, no need to see me off." Lin Yuhan put her hands on her hips and swaggered out of the courtyard.

"Who wants to see you off."

Tang San was speechless. Why were the women he encountered so presumptuous?

"San Ge, shall we continue our test?" Guangling asked about the serious matter.

"Let's continue." Tang San's red face faded, and he began to test Guangling's first soul skill.

How far could the arrows shot by the Sun Chasing Bow go without obstacles?

What about their penetrative power against different obstacles?

How much would the strengthening effect of the Golden Energy have on the Sun Chasing Bow?

And other data needed to get a general idea, so that Guangling's Martial Soul could play a greater role in the future.

After obtaining the first soul ring, there were changes in the Sun Chasing Bow's data:

Strength: 2. A blade appeared on the bow, which could be used as a weapon.

Defense: 2. More sturdy, but not purely defensive.

Speed: 4. Attack speed increased.

Stamina: 3. Drawing the bowstring consumed physical and soul power.

Energy: 3. Could gather and release arrow energy.

Special: 2. Equipped with a sharp special feature.

Total score: 16.

Overall, it was relatively balanced, with outstanding attack speed, energy, and stamina. It could continue to be strengthened in the future. As for the special feature, it could be further enhanced with a "sharp" special feature in the future, or a soul ring with a fire attribute could be added later to further refine the Sun Chasing Bow.

However, the most worthy of study on the Sun Chasing Bow was the red lines left on the bow after absorbing the Iron Tooth Fish's soul ring.

When Guangling used her soul skills, these red lines would glow, and Tang San could sense energy flowing into them from the void. If thoroughly studied, it might be one of the precursors to soul guidance lines.

After testing Guangling's specific data, Xiao Wu pushed the door open and said, "I'm back!"

"You're back, but why did you push the door so hard?" Tang San was startled, looking somewhat resentful.

"Just excited." Xiao Wu bounced over to Tang San, saying, "My third soul ring is the Dragon Rabbit, it's six thousand years old, and the soul skill is True Spirit Bones."

"After using this soul skill, all the bones in my body seem to come alive, just like you said before, combining strength and flexibility. And my speed is unexpectedly fast. When I run at full speed, I can even take nine steps in the air."

"And, my defense has also improved."

Tang San's eyes lit up. He called Xiao Wu over and began to test her.

"Not bad, very good." After testing Xiao Wu, Tang San smiled and said, "True Spirit Bones is a skill that suits you very well. Even when you use it, your defense greatly increases. Moreover, it's not the kind of standing-still defense. You should be able to withstand at least a full-power strike from a Soul King."

"Haha, Sister Xiao Wu is so powerful!" Xiao Wu lifted her head proudly and laughed.

"Don't be too proud. You're still far from invincible." Tang San dampened her spirits, "When you encounter control-type enemies stronger than you, even if I can control multiple Blue Silver Grasses, you might still lose in a one-on-one fight."

"Tch, you're not a control type." Xiao Wu blurted out, realizing that Tang San wasn't a control type, and suddenly turned red, saying, "Humph, Sister Xiao Wu is still very powerful. Besides, wasn't I practicing how to use knives and whips?"

"I'm just reminding you not to be arrogant." Tang San laughed, "But, speaking of which, your family is really amazing. You even found the Dragon Rabbit, a species that has been extinct according to the Encyclopedia of Soul Beasts. It's remarkable."

Xiao Wu smiled awkwardly, saying, "It's just luck. We found one in the Star Dou Forest."

"Tch, it's an extinct species. Finding one and not thinking about capturing it for breeding, but instead killing it directly, what a waste." Tang San sighed, making Xiao Wu puff up her cheeks, saying, "Anyway, it's already dead."

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Tang San took out a short sword, entirely golden, with no hilt, but a circular hole at the end.

"What's this?" Xiao Wu found this wooden short sword somewhat familiar.

"After entering the Golden Ancient Tree, besides taking the detection goggles, I also grabbed a small piece of wood made from the golden tree from those shelves," Tang San smiled, "The relics of the Golden Civilization stipulate that only one soul device can be taken, but it doesn't specify that you can't take wooden planks. So, I took a piece from the shelf and carved it into the shape of a short sword."

"The material of the Golden Ancient Tree is very special, it can conduct soul power. This short sword actually has vitality and can be nurtured with soul power all year round. It might become a divine artifact."

However, to nurture it into a divine artifact, the number before the unit of years might need to be measured in tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Xiao Wu took it over and tied it to the end of her scorpion braid. She shook it and found that it was indeed easier to control with soul power. She said, "It's very good. By the way, how did you know it could be nurtured into a divine artifact?"

"Guessing," Tang San shrugged, bluntly saying, "After all, I can feel the vitality in it, and it can resonate with a soul master's soul power. I thought that after carving it into a weapon and wearing it for years, you could use soul power to nurture it and let it grow slowly."

Xiao Wu pouted, "The dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. Did you have to be so straightforward? You even said you were guessing."

"Then should I take it back?"

"No way." Xiao Wu jumped back, "A gift given is like water poured out. How can you take it back?"

Tang San sighed, "You're quite adept at using idioms and phrases I taught you."
