Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209: Return to Sky City

Elder Yi didn’t say much, and the eyes of the others looking at Lan Xuanyu were also filled with smiles. Before they had set off, Lan Xuanyu had contacted the Academy through the Seventh Fleet, telling them he would return. Although he hadn’t said much, the Academy had clearly understood his meaning; the most important matter had likely been successful.

That’s why Elder Yi personally came to welcome him.

At this moment, all members of the Thirty-Three Skywing were intensely emotional. We’re home! The rich life energy within the Academy incited an excitement incomparable to anything else.

There was a time when they first stepped through the gates of Shrek Academy, their hearts filled with trepidation. Back then, all they could think about was how to be admitted to this academy.

But now, returning as heroes who had made great contributions to the Academy, nobody could question their status as inner court disciples any longer.

The other thirty-two members of the Thirty-Three Skywing silently followed behind Lan Xuanyu, their eyes burning with fervor, and this fervor was directed towards one person only. That was their lead wing.

Under Elder Yi’s guidance, everyone walked by Sea God’s Lake and took off into the air.

Just as they flew up, Elder Yi couldn’t help but show a different expression, turning to look back at the members of Thirty-Three Skywing. It wasn’t just him; Wang Tianyu and Ying Luohong also sensed it and turned back in astonishment.

All members of the Thirty-Three Skywing had taken off, and after doing so, not a single one had wings spreading from their Two-Word Battle Armor. What did this mean? It meant that they had at least the Cultivation of a seven-ring Titled Douluo to be able to fly directly through the sky. It meant there was no one below the rank of seven rings in Thirty-Three Skywing.

Moreover, as a True God-level powerhouse, Elder Yi could clearly feel the soul power fluctuations released by these youngsters when they exerted their soul power. How much had they improved since their departure?

Especially Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu, who were close to him, the vitality exuding from them even gave him the impression that they had reached the God Rank.

But how could this be? How long had it been? At most half a year! Half a year’s time, and they all had a qualitative leap?

What on Sky Dragon Planet had they experienced to undergo such a transformation?

But at this time, they didn’t ask; everything would be discussed once they reached Sky City.

Flying upwards along the massive trunk of the Eternal Tree, the rich and familiar life energy soaked into everyone’s bodies, giving them all a wondrous feeling.

Initially, their first time arriving in Eternal Sky City, including Lan Xuanyu, every member of the Thirty-Three Skywing was incredibly nervous. To them, this was the sacred land of the Soul Masters’ world. They had been admitted under special circumstances and had even faced collective opposition from other teachers of the outer court grades. The Academy had even had some difficulty letting them Cultivate directly in the Inner Court, fearing too much resource consumption which could not be sustained.

But returning this time, their mental state had completely changed. Strength was the source of confidence for everyone, especially for the Thirty-Three Skywing. The rapid improvement over this period had made each of them vibrant, feeling as if they had undergone a transformation. Although the method of Tempering was only initially explored by most, under Lan Xuanyu’s aid, their physical conditions had improved significantly, which also drastically increased their Cultivation. Sky City was still a sacred land, but they were now entirely capable of independence from it, feeling truly like returning home in glory.

Passing through the layers of vines and setting foot on solid ground, they returned to Eternal Sky City. The rich life energy was refreshing to the spirit.

Lan Xuanyu raised his hand, and with a flash of light from the Ring of Destiny on his finger, Tree Elder was released from it.

“Whew!” Tree Elder exhaled then inhaled deeply, intoxicated, “I’m finally back; I was almost suffocated in there. It feels good to be home!”

“Tree Elder, what happened to you?” Wang Tianyu stared at Tree Elder, his eyes widening in disbelief at the sight before him.

Though Tree Elder’s hair was still completely white, his complexion was rosy, and the deep wrinkles on his skin appeared as though they had been ironed out, making his muscles slightly bulge, seemingly rejuvenated beyond recognition. The aura emanating from his body was filled with vibrant life energy, giving off a flourishing vibe, utterly different from his previously decrepit self.

“Hehehe.” Tree Elder chuckled proudly, “Elder Yi, nice to see you. Xiao Wang! Let me tell you, Xuanyu and the others have done something incredible! Let’s go to the Life Space first. Let everyone come out, and then you will understand. We can talk about the rest later.”

“Alright.” Elder Yi nodded and led the group towards the true heart of Eternal Sky City.

With a wave of his hand, the space opened up, and everyone, including all the members of the Thirty-Three Skywing, entered the world inhabited by the plant-class soul beasts.

Once there, Lan Xuanyu tossed the Ring of Destiny into the air and infused it with Spiritual Power, which promptly expanded into a huge circle in midair. One by one, figures fell from the ring and landed on the ground.

Instantly, the entire space seemed as if life force bombs had been thrown into it, the rich life energy erupting intensely, causing the whole space to begin to tremble slightly.

Soon, all the plant-class big shots had exited the Ring of Destiny and saw their familiar surroundings; they all showed smiles and voluntarily stretched out their arms, gazing up at the sky.

Green haloes rippled from their bodies, instantly spreading in all directions. Wherever the green haloes went, the air seemed to grow viscous. Everyone present was enveloped in a layer of green luminescence. The intense life force quickly merged into the surrounding space, then was absorbed and dissipated by it. However, the life energy of these plant-class big shots seemed endless, continuously surging and blooming.

At this point, there was no need for words to explain anything; what they had done already proved the absolute success of this trip. The majestic life energy was not only intense but also of a very high level. Not far away, the plant-class soul beasts who had stayed in the Life Space and had not gone on the trip started to appear. Initially, wanting to gather here, they felt the intense life energy and could not wait to sit on the ground, silently soaked by the life energy.

The life energy of a planet is limited, and as the life core, the Eternal Tree always maintained this balance, keeping the Mother Planet in a flourishing state. Therefore, the life energy available for them to cultivate was always controlled within a certain range. But now, this burst of external life energy did not need such precautions, allowing them to bloom and absorb freely.

Tree Elder said loudly, “Everyone, control yourselves. Follow us back later, and go to Sky Dragon Planet where there is plenty of life energy. The life energy brought back this time is mainly for the Eternal Tree so it can absorb more and advance in the future.”

Hearing Tree Elder’s words, the emotionally stirred plant-class soul beasts stopped absorbing and quickly gathered.

Seeing their former companions emitting high-level life energy, it would be a lie to say they were not envious.

The life energy caused these plant-class soul beasts to undergo a fundamental enhancement, with at least nearly ten percent of them reaching a critical point, ready to break through to the God Rank level any moment.

It’s only been a few months! For these plant-class soul beasts who had lived for tens of thousands of years, a few months were merely a flick of a finger.
