"The Netherworld Wolf's body is very similar to a dog's. They have heads of bronze, bones of iron, and waists of tofu—their waists are the most vulnerable weak point on their bodies!"
Headmaster Zhao Chong was clearly deeply knowledgeable about soul beasts, and every strike targeted the Netherwolf King's weak point.
However!
This hundred-year wolf king was, after all, no ordinary soul beast. Its speed was exceptionally fast.
Whenever Headmaster Zhao Chong's bear paw was about to hit the Netherwolf King, it always managed to evade with agile movements!
Bang!
The immense force of the bear paw struck the ground, sending dirt flying and leaving a crater roughly two meters wide.
Meanwhile, the other middle-aged teachers had a much easier time dealing with the ten-year Netherworld Wolves.
Under the teachers' attacks, the Netherworld Wolves were tossed about like torn sacks, hurled more than ten meters away. Two Netherworld Wolves slammed their waists against tree trunks, let out miserable cries, and could no longer get back up.
"Hurry up and make your move! Go deliver the finishing blow!"
"The Netherworld Wolf is one of the stronger Beast Souls. Though it only provides a ten-year soul ring, it is still far better than most other ten-year soul rings!"
The teachers from Notting Academy beckoned the students over, preparing for them to kill the soul beasts and obtain their soul rings.
The battle looked intense, but in truth, they had everything under control.
With so many Soul Elder-level teachers present, a mere pack of Netherworld Wolves could not stir up any real trouble.
"Boss Qin He, a hundred-year Netherwolf King! That's a hundred-year soul ring!"
Beside him, Xiao Chenyu's eyes shone brightly, and he looked extremely excited.
Xiao Chenyu was now level 20, yet his first soul ring had only been a ten-year one.
Everyone knew that the older a soul beast was, the better the soul ring it produced. However, finding a suitable soul beast was incredibly difficult.
Even a noble child like Xiao Chenyu had only obtained a white soul ring for his first ring, which showed just how difficult it was to acquire soul rings.
Moreover, Xiao Chenyu's Soul was Lone Wolf, which was practically a perfect match for the Netherwolf King before them. There could not be a more suitable soul ring for him.
However!
Qin He's Soul was the Sacred White Tiger, also a Beast Soul. According to the prevailing theories of the Douluo Continent, Beast Souls absorbed soul rings from animal-type soul beasts, while plant Souls absorbed soul rings from plant-type soul beasts.
Well, Tang San was an exception. He followed Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, and Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's theories were, after all, only his own theories. Popularizing them was a matter for the future.
"A hundred-year soul beast? It looks like nothing special."
Qin He narrowed his eyes, still looking utterly uninterested, as though the fierce battle before him had nothing to do with him at all.
Indeed, coming to the Soul Hunting Forest for a soul ring had been a waste of time for Qin He from the start.
He was already a Level 1000 powerhouse. Absorbing a soul ring would at most add some special effects and a halo around his head; it could not increase his strength.
So he could just absorb any random soul ring!
Just as Qin He's mind wandered, an accident suddenly occurred on the battlefield!
Awooo!
The hundred-year wolf king had been beaten around by Headmaster Zhao Chong, leaving it utterly frustrated. At last, it flew into a rage!
In particular, the tragic deaths of its underlings drove the Netherwolf King directly into a berserk state!
With a howl toward the sky, the Netherwolf King's eyes glowed red, and its speed suddenly more than doubled!
Whoosh!
The Netherwolf King's body became an afterimage as it charged toward Qin He and the Notting Academy students with lightning speed!
Damn humans! You actually dared to kill so many of my underlings! I will have my revenge!
Those older soul masters look hard to deal with. I'll spare them for now!
Those children are weak, but most of them are protected. It won't be easy to ambush them!
Hm? There's a child over there? He's standing so far away from the adults, and he's even daydreaming!
Haha, how can there be such a stupid human in this world? A forest grows big and all kinds of birds appear—humans really are full of weirdos!
The Netherwolf King's heart surged with excitement as it decisively chose the weakest human.
Qin He!
That's right, you look delicious!
Kill one man in ten steps, leave no trace over a thousand miles!
I'll ambush and kill one of these humans first, then turn and run. With my speed, can you humans catch me?
A perfect plan!
The Netherwolf King opened its bloodthirsty jaws and shot toward Qin He!
All of this happened in no more than an instant!
By the time Zhao Chong and the others realized what was happening, it was already too late!
"Qin He, watch out! Dodge!"
"Oh no, this Netherwolf King is too cunning! It actually launched a sneak attack!"
Headmaster Zhao Chong's expression changed drastically!
The Soul Hunting Forest was a forest maintained by the state, and the soul beasts inside were not especially dangerous.
But even so, danger still existed.
If some of the other Notting Academy students were injured or killed, Headmaster Zhao Chong might feel sad, but he would not care too much.
But Qin He was different!
He was a gifted youth who had awakened a God-Tier Spirit! Was he really about to perish beneath a hundred-year soul beast before even obtaining his first soul ring?
If word got out, he, Zhao Chong, would probably have to resign in disgrace!
"Oh no! Boss is about to be eaten by the Netherwolf King!"
Xiao Chenyu's expression also changed.
Xiao Chenyu understood very clearly just how strong a hundred-year wolf king was.
Although he had not joined the earlier battle under the teachers' protection, he had watched the entire fight.
The teachers could kill ordinary ten-year Netherworld Wolves with a single casual move!
Yet this hundred-year Netherwolf King had endured for so long against a Soul Elder like Headmaster Zhao Chong, suffering only minor injuries!
The difference in strength between soul beasts of different ranks was like night and day.
"It's over!"
At that moment, everyone's hearts sank into despair.
At that moment, the Netherwolf King was wildly excited, as though its wolf life had reached its peak!
Bang!
Facing the menacing Netherwolf King, Qin He's expression did not change. He looked as though he had been frightened stiff.
The next moment, the Netherwolf King's hard body crashed into Qin He!
Before it even touched a single hair on Qin He's head, the Netherwolf King seemed to be blocked by an invisible membrane, unable to move even an inch!
Smack!
Immediately afterward, the fierce Netherwolf King was flung into the air like a torn sack and thrown more than ten meters away, its waist slamming into a nearby tree trunk!
Crack!
The tree trunk snapped. The Netherwolf King kept whimpering in pain, blood flowing from its mouth and nose. It could not even stand up anymore.
