Gula swept his gaze around, found several targets, and after carefully counting them, confirmed how large a sunflower of a little over three thousand years was. Then he began searching for sunflowers of similar size and checking the color beneath their petals.

Sunflowers were gentle-natured soul beasts. Their craving for sunlight surpassed everything else. As long as one did not attack them first or block them from basking in the sun, they generally would not attack on their own.

The three of them were still young and not very tall. Bent over as they searched among the sunflowers, they happened not to be seen as hostile targets.

Before long, Xiao Wu waved and said softly, "Over here. I found one."

Tang San jogged over, swept his gaze across it, counted the number of petals, and delight showed on his face. "That's right. A Three Thousand Five Hundred Year Mutated Sunflower. Dig it out and get ready to retreat."

"I'll use the Blue Silver Lurantis Crown to convert Life Force and paralyze the Mutated Sunflower, making it think it's still in the soil. Brother Gu, I'll leave it to you. End this quickly."

The Life Force function was extremely versatile. For a short time, it was enough to make a low-intelligence, instinct-driven Plant Type soul beast fall under an illusion.

This had been the plan they had agreed on from the start. Otherwise, if they confronted them head-on, they would be no match for a large group of sunflowers.

"Watch me."

Gula stamped down hard with his left foot. Earth Element fluctuated, controlling the soil around the Mutated Sunflower's roots to rise.

Tang San's eyes were sharp and his hands swift. He released his soul skill to envelop the sunflower, and a Short Sword appeared In Hand as he chopped the sunflower's roots in half.

Hoisting the sunflower up with its receptacle facing downward, Tang San pushed Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to its limit. He twisted and turned through the sunflower field without a single leaf touching him, swiftly running out of the flower forest.

Gula and Xiao Wu followed closely behind him, eyes watching in every direction as they guarded against any sunflower that might notice something was wrong.

Fortunately, Tang San's movements were very clean. He did not alarm a single sunflower, and everyone left the sunflower forest without real danger despite the scare.

After leaving the cliff, they ran down the mountain. Tang San had consumed more than half his Soul Power, and the sunflower on his shoulder sensed that something was wrong. Its golden petals Lit Up with golden light, gathering in the center of the flower.

A blinding golden ray shot out, and the receptacle swung back and forth. The scorching aura almost burned Tang San's hair.

"That was close."

Tang San secretly called it lucky and threw down the Mutated Sunflower. The Short Sword In Hand chopped out rapidly, and after several swishing slashes, he hacked the sunflower into scattered pieces.

A Purple Soul Ring slowly condensed, floating above the sunflower's shattered branches and leaves.

Tang San looked toward Gula and Xiao Wu as they rushed over. "Protect me."

"Fuse with the soul ring without worry. The battle ended very quickly just now. It won't draw any soul beasts over."

Gula reassured Tang San.

Tang San nodded slightly, sat cross-legged on the ground, and meditated to recover his Soul Power. Once everything had returned to its peak state, he summoned his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and Pulled the soul ring over.

Gula waited until Tang San had fallen into deep meditation and could no longer hear the outside world, then looked at Xiao Wu and asked:

"Have you thought it through? Whether or not you want to add soul rings according to the route I mentioned. There's a chance it can evolve your Martial Soul. When the time comes, you'll be able to walk outside without worry and won't have to fear being recognized by a Title Douluo."

With soul rings as materials, her Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul could grow. Afterward, he could use points to exchange for a pure Moon Stone and combine it with a few rituals. He was one hundred percent certain he could help Xiao Wu evolve her Martial Soul.

Xiao Wu was silent for a moment. By helping Tang San find the sunflower, how could she not have already prepared herself?

She lowered her head slightly and parted her cherry lips. "If I do what you say, how do I explain it to Little San? Also, how exactly did you discover me? Don't you want a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?"

Xiao Wu laid her cards on the table and asked all her doubts in one breath.

Gula Sized Up Xiao Wu from head to toe. After more than a year of growth, she had not changed much and still looked like a little girl.

He smiled. "Compared to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, I value more the data you can provide me that differs from ordinary Soul Masters. Besides, your attribute doesn't meet my requirements for a soul ring."

"As for your identity, I don't care. What's more, haven't you already paid me? As for Little San, you can tell him the answer directly. His father is a Title Douluo, so he must have discovered your identity."

Seeing Xiao Wu's face turn deathly pale in an instant, Gula comforted her. "Don't worry. Little San's identity isn't simple either. His father won't make a move against you."

"This information should be enough to make you trust me, right?"

Compared to Time-Space Travel, Xiao Wu's soul ring and soul bone would most likely provide soul skills like Invincible Golden Body and intangibility. There was simply no comparison, and they also could not help his Martial Soul grow.

Gula was very ambitious. He definitely would not be blinded by the benefits in front of him and forget his future development potential.

Xiao Wu heard Gula's sincerity, and the vigilance she had always held relaxed a little. She curled her lips and stubbornly said, "What's that supposed to mean? As if you're so amazing."

Gula did not mind her stubbornness. As long as she listened and seriously completed his training plan, whatever else she did was none of his business.

Xiao Wu continued, "You said a charm soul skill doesn't suit me. I originally planned to get a teleportation soul skill as my Second Soul Skill, but now that won't work either. According to your plan, what soul ring should I obtain?"

Gula had long since made a plan. "The evolutionary form I planned for you is the Great Yin Jade Rabbit of the Astral Attribute. Your First Soul Ring is already fixed and can't be changed. Fortunately, the thousand-year Years of your Second Soul Ring can make up for some shortcomings."

"Do you know where there are Moonlight Worms with pure bloodlines?"

"Moonlight Worms? The descendants of the Super Soul Beast Moonlight Worm. I remember Da Ming mentioning them..."

Xiao Wu carefully thought back, but no matter what, she could not remember. At this moment, she hated her past playful self more than anything. At a critical moment, how could she not know anything?

Gula was speechless. If Human Form Soul Beasts were not so rarely seen and did not possess such great research value, he really would not have wanted to subdue this silly, sweet girl, Xiao Wu.

He said irritably, "Moonlight Worms like to Pulled moonlight on laurel trees to cultivate. Think about where there's a Laurel Tree Forest."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. "I know laurel trees. Their petals taste like honey, sweet and fragrant. Every year, my little brother and I go pick osmanthus flowers to eat."

Gula was stunned, then became thoughtful and said inwardly, If laurel trees became soul beasts, they would actually be very suitable as Tang San's Third Soul Ring.

"Since the first two soul rings came from Lurantis and sunflowers, soul beasts that can both use sunlight, adding another plant soul ring that uses moonlight might be able to add the Light Attribute to the Blue Silver Emperor on top of its life attribute."

Gula had not forgotten that a Soul Master's personality would be influenced by their Martial Soul.

Generally, Dark Attribute Soul Masters had Gloomy and Cold, dark personalities and liked being alone.

Light Attribute Soul Masters, on the other hand, were broad-minded, kind to others, open, and upright.

Since he intended to change Tang San, his extremely selfish personality had to be changed. He still did not know how strong Ditto's personality alteration was, but paired with the influence of the Martial Soul on the Soul Master, it should be foolproof.

Gula kept the plan in mind and prepared to carry it out in the future, guiding Tang San onto the right path. There was no need for the Tang Family Continent to appear.

Seeing Gula lost in thought, Xiao Wu hesitated and said, "Little San's father really won't make a move against me? Even if he's a Title Douluo, there's no way he'd look down on a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, right?"
