Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

Yu Xiaogang's appearance was like finding half a fly in a fragrant loaf of bread while eating—utterly disgusting.

This completely ruined Lin Yang's good mood for the day.

After a quick dinner in the cafeteria, Lin Yang prepared to return to his dormitory to cultivate.

However, before they even reached the dormitory entrance, they could see Zhao Bufan loitering around the dormitory, seemingly waiting for someone.

Lin Yang didn't think much of it, but after taking only two steps, Zhao Bufan came over on his own initiative.

"Boss, shall we talk?"

Lin Yang was somewhat surprised. Although he and Zhao Bufan were in the same dormitory, their relationship was just so-so.

However, he nodded anyway: "Okay!"

They found a quiet spot near the dormitory and stood there.

Zhao Bufan is a sixth-grade student, twelve years old this year, and more than a head taller than Lin Yang.

But in front of Lin Yang, Zhao Bufan seemed like a primary school student, appearing extremely awkward.

Lin Yang cut to the chase: "Did you need something from me?"

Zhao Bufan hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice,

"Boss, are you planning to hunt souls yourself?"

"Not bad," Lin Yang nodded.

The school allows students to hunt souls on their own, but the school will not be responsible for any accidents that occur.

After all, although the academy is small, there are occasionally some powerful and influential students whose spirit rings are naturally not something the school needs to worry about.

"I knew it," Zhao Bufan nodded, unsurprised.

"Boss, I also want to hunt souls on my own. I want to cooperate with you."

Lin Yang was somewhat surprised: "How will we cooperate?"

"I can find a way to get a Soul Hunter's Token, but I need a Soul Ring that is at least two hundred years old," Zhao Bufan said, making no attempt to hide his ambition.

Lin Yang murmured softly, "Soul Hunter's Token..."

In Notting City, the only way to obtain a Soul Beast is to go to the Soul Hunting Forest outside the east side of the city.

The Soul Hunting Forest is a place specifically used by the Spirit Hall to raise soul beasts; a Soul Hunting Token is required to enter.

This warrant requires guarantees from at least three nobles, and it's something that ordinary people, especially work-study students, really can't obtain.

Lin Yang was worried about how to get the warrant, but just when he was about to fall asleep, someone delivered a pillow to his head. It couldn't be more coincidental.

"Okay, I promise you."

Hearing this, Zhao Bufan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Lin Yang stared straight at Zhao Bufan: "Why did you come to me? I'm just a level 10 Soul Master without any Soul Rings."

"Because I feel you're very strong, boss," Zhao Bufan said quickly, his eyes gleaming.

"During the previous training sessions, I always felt that you weren't performing to your full potential, and you were even quite comfortable under the instructor's guidance, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yang's eyes were fixed on Zhao Bufan, and he said, word by word,

I want to hear the truth.

Zhao Bufan suddenly felt as if someone had grabbed him by the neck, and his eloquent flattery came to an abrupt halt.

Looking into those dark eyes, as deep and cold as a still pool, an invisible pressure enveloped my entire body.

Zhao Bufan felt as if the person in front of him could see right through him, inside and out.

A flicker of panic crossed his eyes. After a long silence, Zhao Bufan sighed softly before speaking.

"Actually, that warrant... was left to me by my father, and my uncle also knows about it."

"He's a second-ring Soul Master, and he comes over when we're hunting Souls, but I... don't trust him."

Although Zhao Bufan tried his best to avoid it, Lin Yang still keenly sensed the loophole.

"This warrant is probably of dubious origin," Lin Yang muttered to himself.

Moreover, his classmate was certainly not just a simple farmer's son.

The farmer's son doesn't have a cousin who's a great soul master.

But what does this have to do with him?

He only needed to use the assistant's token to enter the Soul Hunter Forest; he couldn't be bothered with the rest of the nonsense.

"Okay, I'm all set."

Lin Yang's crisp and decisive answer surprised Zhao Bufan, and the words he had already prepared were instantly swallowed back.

After stammering for a while, Zhao Bufan finally let out a breath and quickly smiled.

"Okay, boss, it's settled then."

"I need to take three days off to get the warrant. We'll meet in the Soul Hunter Forest in three days."

"good!"

The two then returned to their dormitory, and without prior arrangement, neither of them told anyone about the Soul Hunting incident.

The next day, Zhao Bufan asked for leave from school, while Lin Yang went to class and cultivated as usual.

The hill behind Notting College.

This place is remote and few students come here, so it has become Lin Yang's usual place to practice his sword skills.

On a flat piece of land, the blue silver grass on the ground swayed in the wind, and in the middle of the flat land, Lin Yang stood quietly, holding the Scarlet Sword.

Suddenly, the air changed.

Centered on Lin Yang, the surrounding air began to flow, swirl, and stir up dust and weeds on the ground.

hiss--!

A long, deep breath came from Lin Yang's mouth.

Along with this breath, the slightly cool breeze around them also carried a hint of heat.

At this moment, Lin Yang had already quietly opened the Transparent World.

The world in his eyes changed instantly.

He could "see" every muscle fiber in his body twitching slightly, as if it could unleash terrifying power at any moment.

He could "see" that when he breathed, he was not only inhaling air, but also that the soul power within his body was beginning to resonate with his breathing in a special rhythm.

Soul power flows through the meridians of the whole body to the limbs and bones, providing energy for the entire body.

Compared to using oxygen to stimulate muscles and bones, using soul power to "breathe" has a more significant effect on improving physical fitness.

If the original breathing method is the upper limit for improving basic physical fitness...

Now, combined with the Sun Breathing technique, which incorporates soul power, the lower limit of physical ability has been raised, and the body's potential can be more fully explored.

Soul power is full of possibilities in this world.

Suddenly, Lin Yang moved.

His movements were not fast; the meter-long scarlet sword in his hand drew a graceful and simple arc in the air.

Sun Breathing - Form One - Waltz!

boom!

Wherever the blade went, the air was cut open, and the tangible flames, carrying a surging heat wave, drew an arc three or four meters long.

This is not over yet.

Lin Yang's movements changed again, and the Scarlet Sword in his hand gleamed with a sharp light.

Second Form: Azure Heaven!

Third Form: Blazing Red Mirror!

Fourth Form: Phantom Rainbow!

......

Each model is perfect in its own way, yet it possesses a unique charm.

The flames danced, each move carrying deadly intent, yet also exuding righteousness and grandeur.

Like the sun in the sky, it can bring destruction as well as hope.

After completing all twelve sword techniques, Lin Yang slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

As the starting point for breathing techniques, the difficulty of Sun Breathing is widely acknowledged.

When combined with soul power, the difficulty of the breathing technique increases exponentially.

Not only must you maintain a rhythm of breathing, but you must also synchronize your soul power with your breathing.

It's like one hand spinning forward while the other hand simultaneously spins backward.

Even the slightest mistake can cause irreversible damage to the body.

Lin Yang's ability to achieve this is largely due to his exceptional compatibility with the Breath of the Sun and the powerful regeneration of his Ghost Blood Martial Soul.

Fortunately, he succeeded; his Sun Breathing and Soul Power have now been perfectly combined.

Each sword shape, when combined with soul power, becomes extremely powerful, even surpassing the power of soul ring skills.

In other words, it's about creating your own soul skills, like the Haotian Sect's Haotian Nine Absolutes...

One downside is that it also significantly increases the physical and mental strain.

Even with his current physique, completing the full twelve sword forms would be an enormous drain on his strength.
