The Spirit Hall Higher-Ups Really Did Have Something Wrong With Their Heads

"Hiss..."

"Who was that powerful expert?"

Countless people in Suotuo City couldn't help sucking in a breath of cold air, making an outstanding contribution to warming the Far North.

They looked up, their faces full of shock as they gazed at the fleeting golden afterimage in the sky.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard behind the Great Soul Arena.

"Wow!"

"Little Brother Wuyou is so handsome!"

Zi Yue gazed lovestruck at the youth disappearing into the distance, her heart full of envy for Li Wuyou.

Although her Hell Purple Demon Dragon could fly too, it was nowhere near as effortless and carefree as Li Wuyou, much less as terrifyingly fast as the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

It truly was worthy of being the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Having two more pairs of wings than the Hell Purple Demon Dragon Martial Soul really made a difference; that terrifying flight speed was absolutely top-notch.

"Zi Yue, did Wuyou break through to level forty and go to the Star Dou Great Forest to get his fourth Soul Ring?"

Just as Zi Yue stood there lovestruck and envious, Zi Yan suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

She too had heard the commotion in the courtyard just now, so she had hurried over from the Great Soul Arena to check on the situation.

All that could be said was that Li Wuyou had made such a huge commotion that even in the noisy Great Soul Arena, it was hard for her not to notice.

"Mom, Little Brother Wuyou really did break through to level forty!"

"After asking me for a detailed map of the Soul Beasts' distribution, he flew straight off toward the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"Once Little Brother Wuyou gets his fourth Soul Ring and comes back, he'll be a bona fide level forty Soul Ancestor!"

After saying that, Zi Yue ran over to Zi Yan, clung to her arm, and acted spoiled.

By the time Li Wuyou returned from the Star Dou Great Forest, his Soul Power Level would probably surpass hers.

Although she didn't know just how terrifying the increase from a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was, as long as Li Wuyou absorbed another Soul Ring over forty thousand years old for his fourth ring, his Soul Power would definitely rise dramatically.

By her guess, when Li Wuyou returned, his Soul Power Level definitely wouldn't be lower than forty-three.

An eighteen-year-old level forty-three Battle Soul Ancestor, with the god-grade Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and a configuration of four black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings-just thinking that he was the man she had chosen made Zi Yue's face flush with excitement.

"Wuyou is going deep into the Star Dou Great Forest alone, and he's going to hunt a forty-thousand-year Soul Beast. This is no laughing matter!"

"I wonder whether there's a Spirit Hall expert accompanying Wuyou to protect him?"

Zi Yan knitted her brows and looked up in the direction Li Wuyou had gone, her expression somewhat grave and worried.

A forty-thousand-year Soul Beast was no joke; even a level seventy Soul Saint would find one difficult to handle.

And if he ran into a Soul Beast with a powerful bloodline!

A top-tier forty-thousand-year Soul Beast like a true dragon or a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would probably make even a Titled Douluo expert give it a wide berth.

"Mom, don't worry!"

"Little Brother Wuyou arranged everything for this Soul Hunting trip to the Star Dou Great Forest long ago, so you don't need to worry so much!"

There wasn't the slightest trace of worry on Zi Yue's face.

Just as she had thought before-surely the entire upper echelon of Spirit Hall couldn't all have something wrong with their heads?

As long as the Spirit Hall higher-ups were in their right minds, there was no way they would let a genius of the Angel Clan who had awakened the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul run off alone into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a forty-thousand-year Soul Beast.

"All right, all right!"

"Since Wuyou has made arrangements, I won't worry about it!"

"Also, it's getting late. You should go to work!"

Hearing that Li Wuyou had made arrangements, Zi Yan nodded and stopped worrying about it, then reminded Zi Yue that it was time to go to work at the Great Soul Arena and familiarize herself with its daily management procedures.

Zi Yue was the Zi Clan's sole heir, and the Great Soul Arena was the clan's most important enterprise.

Learning the arena's operations, scheduling personnel, and dealing with Soul Masters from all sides who came to participate in Soul Fighting were all lessons Zi Yue had to master.

Someday, the Zi Clan's family business would ultimately be handed over to Zi Yue.

"Uh..."

Zi Yue opened her mouth slightly, then hesitated to speak.

Go to work?

She didn't want to work at all!

Her life had been free and easy. Ordinarily, she ate and drank well at home, occasionally made time to cultivate, and went shopping for clothes with her best friend Doudou every now and then. Every day had been relaxed, comfortable, and happy.

But ever since her mother had stopped staying at the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena, she had come straight to Suotuo City to keep an eye on Zi Yue every day, even forcing her to learn to manage the Great Soul Arena's various affairs.

"Mom, can I take a couple of days off?"

Zi Yue's face drooped, her heart full of reluctance.

She was the dignified eldest young lady of the Zi Clan and the family's sole heir. She really didn't want to go to work on time every day and deal with a pile of tedious, boring chores.

"No!"

"You want a couple of days off?"

"Only if you're pregnant!"

Zi Yan looked stern and flatly rejected Zi Yue's request.

How could she not know what Zi Yue was like?

Leave her unbeaten for three days and she'd climb onto the roof and rip off the tiles—a little demon through and through.

If Zi Yan hadn't kept her in check over the years, Zi Yue would probably have run away from home long ago and gone straight into the Soul Master World to make her way.

Zi Yue: What the hell do you mean, I can only rest if I'm pregnant?!

How old am I?

I'm in the best years of my girlhood!

How could I possibly get pregnant so soon?

Mom's being way too heartless!

Oh?

Wait!

Getting pregnant seems to be a matter of time anyway!

After all, when she and Li Wuyou rolled in the sheets, they never used any protection.

Maybe getting pregnant wouldn't be a bad choice.

Once I'm pregnant, I can go back to eating, drinking, and having fun!

"Hehehe..."

Having quietly made up her mind, Zi Yue eagerly looked forward to Li Wuyou hurrying back from the Star Dou Great Forest.

After all, getting pregnant wasn't something she could do alone!

She couldn't avoid getting drilled by Li Wuyou!

She suffered and enjoyed it!

"Sigh! Fine, fine, I'll go, all right?!"

"Honestly, other people's children get to eat, drink, and have fun as good-for-nothing heirs every day, but I have to work every day. It's too miserable!"

Zi Yue sighed dejectedly and spoke in a listless voice.

Judging by her mother's uncompromising gaze, it was no use no matter how unwilling she was to work.

From the looks of it, her mother was dead set on polishing her up, making her take over the family business early and uphold the Zi Clan's standing.

Meanwhile, in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Flying at full speed, Li Wuyou took only an hour to reach the airspace above the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Beneath him stretched an endless expanse of towering ancient trees. The immense vitality nurtured by nature washed over him, mingled with the deep roars of Soul Beasts that occasionally sounded from its depths.

"Star Dou Great Forest, I've finally arrived!"

Li Wuyou looked down at the primeval forest, an expectant smile appearing on his lips.

The Star Dou Great Forest was one of the three major Soul Beast gathering grounds on the Douluo Continent. It contained a great variety of Soul Beasts, and the deeper one went into the forest, the stronger they became.

Finding a suitable Soul Ring would take him some time.
