I Can Devour Spirits

During the Divine Soul Test in the Deep Valley, there was someone who was half a step away from stepping onto the altar.

Upon hearing it was this very person, he immediately felt at ease.

Since he was such a rare genius, how he cultivated was beyond his understanding.

Moreover, such a person was beyond his ability to teach!

If he followed the same cultivation path as ordinary people, could he still be called a genius?

Yao Che said, ”Duan Rong! You have passed! From this moment, you may leave the Tower Forest!”

”Ah!”

Duan Rong didn’t expect that he had only entered the Tower Forest last night, and in just one night, he would be able to leave now!

Everyone present looked at Duan Rong with eyes full of envy.

Xiao Yu’s gaze was both joyful and resentful.

Duan Rong passing the test and leaving the Tower Forest naturally made her happy. But the thought that she would be confined within the Tower Forest, with no idea of when she might see Duan Rong again, made her feel silently sorrowful.

Ximen Kankan jumped over with a face covered in dirt, saying, ”Well done! That baboon deserved a beating!”

Yao Che glared at Ximen Kankan and said, ”Get in line!”

Ximen Kankan stuck his tongue out, quickly dashed into the crowd, and stood at his original empty spot.

Yao Che said, ”Stand aside for a moment, and after I finish explaining to them, I’ll take you to the Training Camp.”

Duan Rong nodded and stepped aside. From there, through the gaps in the crowd, he could just see Xiao Yu.

Yao Che continued explaining some rules and the different contents taught by the various tutors, then dismissed the crowd, letting them each return to the tower.

People started dispersing as their shadows flickered in movement.

Yao Che turned to look at Duan Rong and said, ”Follow me.”

Xiao Yu stood there, unwilling to leave for a long time, staring blankly at Duan Rong.

Duan Rong said, ”Mr. Yao, please wait a moment.”

Yao Che paused slightly, and Duan Rong walked over to Xiao Yu.

Duan Rong embraced Xiao Yu without hesitation.

The two held each other tightly with emotion.

Duan Rong said, ”Cultivate well. I’ll wait for you to leave the tower!”

Xiao Yu sobbed, ”I will!”

Duan Rong released Xiao Yu, as Yao Che was still waiting nearby, and they couldn’t say goodbye for too long.

Duan Rong said, ”Go back to the tower. I’ll stay here, watching you enter the tower!”

Xiao Yu nodded, turned, and walked towards the Tower Forest.

With every few steps she took, she turned back, and each time Duan Rong’s gaze was fixed on her.

Xiao Yu reached the entrance of the tower, tears flowed again. At that moment, she even thought of giving up her status as an Inner Sect Disciple, just to follow Duan Rong, living a simple life together.

Duan Rong stood at the edge of the Tower Forest, waving to her with a distant smile.

Xiao Yu finally, with teary eyes, entered the tower. In the cramped dark space of the tower, she couldn’t help but cry.

She already knew she needed to reach the True Qi Realm Great Perfection to leave this Tower Forest. But when could she possibly reach the Great Perfection?

And when would she see Duan Rong again?

Meanwhile, as Duan Rong saw Xiao Yu’s figure disappear into the Tower Forest, the smile on his face froze, and a sense of loss welled up in his heart.

Yao Che, standing behind him, sighed and said, ”Romantic feelings can be a hindrance to the Dao!”

Duan Rong turned to give him a glare, saying, ”She is my wife. Isn’t the way of heaven, earth, and humanity also a part of the Dao?”

Yao Che was at a loss for words, finally saying, ”Let’s go.”

Their figures gradually disappeared into the dense forest.

After a long while, the male baboon finally woke up leisurely from the female baboon’s embrace. The baboon sat up dejectedly, looking at the silent Tower Forest, filled with regret.
