The team left via the other opening of the cave where there weren't any barbarians lurking. The team didn't dare to stay any longer. They rushed to another direction as soon as they exited the cave.

"Let's take a rest!"

They ran for two hours before Lu Li called them to rest in a valley. Jiang Qiling stopped there right away and the others listened to him and began to rest.

Before they knew it, Lu Li had become the team leader. At first, he was despised by Jiang Hu and the others as they were born in distinguished families and they were in a much higher realm than Lu Li.

But Lu Li had demonstrated his power after two fights, particularly during the encirclement by the Feather Race. If it weren't for Lu Li and Jiang Qiling, some of the team would have died.

Powerful warriors were always respected regardless of their ages or identity. Power was what ruled the world.

Jiang Qiling and Lu Li sat next to each other. Lu Li said nothing but Jiang Qiling was still feeling the thrill. Her eyes glowed. The charm of a young lady was too much for Jiang Hu and others to bear. They found their hearts pounding.

"Jiang Qiling!"

After a moment of silence, Lu Li asked with curiosity, "You mentioned that you have absorbed the divine energy. Why didn't you use it?"

Jiang Qiling tilted her head and spent some time thinking before she whispered to him, "I have absorbed the divine energy but… I don't know how to use it."

Lu Li frowned and questioned, "Didn't your grandpa teach you? Can you find a way to combine it with Soulfeast Butterflies? I think you will be much more powerful then."

Jiang Qiling sighed and replied, "My grandpa doesn't know, either. In the entire history, there were only three chosen warriors bequeathed with the divine energy from the Emperor of Heaven Reverse. They didn't leave behind any record of how to use the divine energy. I have to figure it out myself… "

"In that case, don't fool around."

Lu Li said with a straight face, "You must think about how to use the divine energy. I have a feeling of vexation. I think something is going to happen to this trip here. We can only survive if we can elevate our abilities."

"Okay!"

Jiang Qiling took his advice. She sat with her legs crossed and began to meditate quietly.

Lu Li sat with his legs crossed and tried to find a way to improve his abilities. Even though he could kill regular ones of the Feather Race by working with Jiang Qiling, he still felt he needed improvement. He must plan ahead and make every second of every minute count.

"How can I elevate my abilities?"

Within such a short time, it was impossible to achieve a breakthrough on his realm. He had to choose another path.

After much thinking, he believed he had two ways to go. First, he could continue his study of Profound Meaning to see if he could make a breakthrough there. Or, building on current realm and knowledge of Profound Meaning, he could try to improve his speed and attacks.

The most powerful parts of Lu Li's abilities were his speed and attack force. He could be faster than a warrior at the initial stage of the Human Sovereign Realm and his Blood Claw could penetrate everything. The other skill he had was the cloning one that integrated Mirror Image Profound Meaning with Apparition. Combing the three factors was the reason that he could beat the Feather Race and the Barbarian Race.

The Blood Claw could not go further as it was a Bloodline Skill. Unless he made a major breakthrough on his Profound Meaning, he couldn't be faster now.

As for Apparition?

He had reached the level the demon was at. He could study the Mirror Image because he retained memories from the demon. He didn't learn this on his own so it was hard for him to improve in this regard.

"Apart from that, I only have Burning Blood and Dragon Roar!"

Lu Li had two other Bloodline Skills that were of little value to him now. Burning Blood was to strengthen his body, which had little use. As for the Dragon Roar, it could exert some influence over warriors of the Eternal Realm but it wouldn't come in handy when faced with the Barbarian Race, Feather Race, Voodoo Race, or the Asmodians in the small battlefield.

"Right! I have my psychic power. Jiang Qiling said that mine is unusually strong."

Lu Li remembered it. He was told that his psychic power was different from that of average Eternal Realm warriors who could not make their psychic powers penetrate Inhibition Formations. Given that his Soul Pond was the same as others of the initial stage of the Eternal Realm, the only explanation was that his psychic power was unique!

"Psychic power is built on souls. Can I use it as a method of soul attack?"

When the idea came to Lu Li's mind, it began to develop soon.

Soul attacks!

Soul attacks could kill people without leaving a trace. If he could master a method of conducting soul attacks and leveraging his speed and Blood Claw, wouldn't he be able to have his way around the small battlefield?

He knew nothing about soul attacks and he could not make this up. He opened his eyes. Seeing that Jiang Qiling was cultivating, he turned to Jiang Hu.

Jiang Hu wasn't cultivating. He was tending to his wounds and resting. Many had sustained some injuries while being chased by the Feather Race. Jiang Hu had a minor injury as well.

Lu Li walked over to Jiang Hu who opened his eyes. Lu Li waved to him and he followed Lu Li away.

They walked over to a corner. Lu Li cupped his fists and said, "Young Master Jiang, I have to consult you about something."

Jiang Hu was not used to Lu Li being so polite and respectful all of a sudden. He waved his hand and said, "Young Master Lu, call me Jiang Hu. Don't be so distant. Ask away. I will tell you everything I know."

"Okay!"

Lu Li went straight to the subject, "Jiang Hu, how much do you know about soul attacks? How do you release it and how does the attack work? I want to know all about it."

"Soul attacks?"

Jiang Hu pondered about it with a frown before he replied, "I don't know much about it. Only several patriarchs of the Pavilion of Delicacy know how to launch soul attacks and only one of them have mastered the skill. I only know some superficial information."

Lu Li asked him to go on. Jiang Hu continued, "As the name implies, you will rely on your soul to launch attacks and your target is your opponents' souls. There are many ways to do this. You can use light, or psychic power, sound or intangible fluctuations and so on.

"Whichever way you use, your ultimate goal is to pass your soul's energy into your enemies' souls to confuse, trap, or destroy their souls in order to kill them…

"I heard from warriors of past generations that there are several forms of soul attacks. You can create illusions in others' souls to make them lost. You can stab their souls so they cannot fight back. Or you can confuse your enemies' souls or use strong force to destroy their souls…

"But you cannot learn soul attacks that easily. First of all, you need to have a very strong soul. Then you need to cultivate your soul in a special way. Without the guidance of a warrior with such powers, it is not easy for you to learn it…"

What Jiang Hu knew really was superficial but he had articulated it logically for Lu Li to have a rudimentary understanding.

If physical bodies were the roots of warriors, then souls were the essence. Once something went wrong with the soul, no amount of power in the physical body could change that. The soul controlled the bodies.

Once the soul was attacked, the warriors' Profound Meaning or skills or techniques could not be used. This was what made soul attacks dreadful. Soul attacks were known for being insidious as they could kill people without a trace.

Lu Li had some understanding now hearing Jiang Hu's explanation. After the latter finished, Lu Li suddenly said with a grin, "Jiang Hu, I want to learn soul attacks. How about… you let me try it out on you? Don't worry. I know what I am doing and I will not hurt you."

"You want to study soul attacks? And… hurt me?"

Jiang Hu was stunned. Out of instinct, he put on a mocking smile. A person that didn't even know the theory of soul attack wanted to study it and claimed that he might inflict some harm. Was Lu Li's brain functioning?

Jiang Hu was a disciple of the Jiang Family. Since young, his soul had been nurtured and his Soul Pond was strong. More importantly, there was a piece of treasure in his soul as protection. How could Lu Li, a warrior of the Eternal Realm, hurt him with soul attacks? Was Lu Li telling a joke?
