I Seem to Have Killed Fake Soul Beasts

Soul Hunting Forest.

After such a huge upheaval, everyone present except Qin He was still shaken. They felt that the Soul Hunting Forest was simply fraught with danger, terrifying beyond measure!

"Are we... are we still going to stay in the Soul Hunting Forest?"

A student beside them asked timidly.

He was merely a commoner student from Notting Academy. Never in his life had he seen such a terrifying scene!

How long had it been? A thousand-year Soul Beast had already appeared. If they stayed any longer, would ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts show up next?

The other Notting Academy students more or less felt the same way.

As for the teachers, they were somewhat better off, but the fear in their hearts was still not so easily dispelled.

"You cowardly, useless bunch! Can't you learn from my boss?"

Xiao Chenyu shot everyone a disdainful glance.

What a difference in caliber!

Compared with Boss Qin He, these ordinary mortals were simply far too low-level!

Xiao Chenyu vaguely remembered that when the Mandala Snake had still been alive, everyone had fled in panic. Only Boss Qin He had remained calm, as though the Mandala Snake were nothing out of the ordinary!

Once the Mandala Snake died, Boss Qin He had again remained serene, as though everything that had happened was perfectly normal!

Remaining unruffled by favor or humiliation—that was a level of mastery.

It sounded simple, but how many people could actually achieve it?

Learn from Boss Qin!

Although this Mandala Snake had not been killed by Boss Qin, just standing there made his presence soar. He looked incredibly impressive!

Qin He cast Xiao Chenyu an indifferent glance. "Actually, I killed these two Mandala Snakes."

As soon as he said that, Xiao Chenyu sighed even more emotionally. "As expected of Boss Qin He. Even his jokes are so fresh and unconventional! Though those words are false, saying them somehow makes Boss Qin He seem even more handsome!"

"That's right. Once word of today's events gets out, perhaps a few students who don't know the truth will be fooled into joining Boss Qin He's ranks!"

"For the sake of Boss Qin He's great cause, a little lying is understandable sometimes!"

Xiao Chenyu looked as though he understood everything.

It's so hard. No one believes me even when I tell the truth!

"Everyone, how about this? You take the other students back first, and I'll accompany Young Lord Qin He as we continue searching for Soul Beasts?"

At the side, Principal Zhao Chong could not help suggesting this.

"Stop arguing. Let's hurry back."

Qin He narrowed his eyes and directly cut off the discussion.

Honestly, the Soul Hunting Forest was no place for people to stay. The conditions were far too poor, and Qin He had wanted to go back long ago.

"You're going back already? Young Lord Qin He, you haven't obtained your Soul Ring yet!"

The moment he heard Qin He's words, Principal Zhao Chong panicked.

Go back?

Was this a joke?

There was no way he could explain this!

Qin He was incredibly lazy. It had taken great effort just to get him out here once, and now he was going back without obtaining a single Soul Ring?

If Qin He went back now, who knew when he would be willing to come out again?

"Why wouldn't I have a Soul Ring? Aren't there ready-made Soul Rings right in front of us?"

Qin He calmly pointed at the Mandala Snake corpses. The two purple Soul Rings hovering above them were dazzlingly eye-catching.

At that gesture, Zhao Chong and everyone from Notting Academy instantly changed expression!

"Young Lord Qin He, you're not joking, are you?"

"A Soul Master's first Soul Ring can be no more than four hundred and twenty-three years old. That is Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's theory. A Soul Ring over a thousand years old would be too much for a Soul Master to bear!"

"The Soul Power of a thousand-year Soul Beast is extremely terrifying. Absorbing a thousand-year Soul Beast as one's first Soul Ring is practically suicide!"

While everyone was discussing it, Qin He had already stepped forward and placed his hand on a Soul Ring!

"Qin He, stop right now! You can't absorb that Soul Ring!"

Zhao Chong was so distressed that he nearly spat out blood!

Whether in class or cultivation, Qin He always looked muddleheaded and half-asleep. So this guy had not listened in class at all!

These two Mandala Snakes had been killed by some unknown expert. Rashly absorbing the Soul Rings of Soul Beasts killed by someone else would cause violent conflicts within the Soul Rings. At best, one's Spirit would be damaged; at worst, one could suffer cultivation deviation!

Behind Qin He, a majestic white tiger phantom emerged amid a white halo.

Qin He stretched out his hand and placed it on the smaller purple Soul Ring.

The purple halo rose above Qin He's head. Without giving him any chance to react, it suddenly contracted into an incredibly solid ring no larger than a bracelet, then dropped directly around the white tiger phantom's neck!

"Condense!"

The aura of the Sacred White Tiger gradually became deeper. The white light around the tiger's body spread outward, expanding several times beyond its previous range!

Qin He's aura was no longer as aggressively imposing as before. Yet when he summoned his white tiger Spirit, people still felt that he was unfathomably deep!

"The fusion succeeded? Boss's first Soul Ring can actually fuse with a thousand-year Soul Beast?"

Xiao Chenyu stared blankly at the sight before him.

The thousand-year Soul Ring seemed to place no pressure on Qin He at all. Qin He looked relaxed, as though he were not absorbing a Soul Ring but receiving a massage!

This had to be cheating!

It was definitely cheating!

Throughout the Douluo Continent, there had never been a case of any Soul Master having a thousand-year first Soul Ring!

"A God-Tier Spirit really is extraordinary!"

"My god, even Spirit Hall's Golden Generation might not be able to absorb such a high-level Spirit as their first Soul Ring!"

"A thousand-year Mandala Snake—Boss Qin He absorbed a Soul Ring of this level so casually. He really is a beast!"

"Boss Qin He is way too bold! This is the first case in the Douluo Continent!"

The students and teachers of Notting Academy who were watching all began discussing animatedly.

For a time, cries of shock and admiration rang out without end!

"Young Lord Qin He's Soul Power is rising rapidly! Level 11, Level 12!"

At this moment, Zhao Chong's facial muscles kept twitching. What he was witnessing had completely shattered his understanding of the world!

He took a Soul Power testing device from his pocket and aimed it at Qin He.

The Soul Power testing device emitted an intense glow!

Level 13, Level 14... Level 20!

Within just a few breaths, the numbers on the Soul Power testing device kept rising. In the blink of an eye, Qin He had become a Level 20 Soul Master, as though he had soared to the heavens in a single step!

One had to know that ordinary Soul Masters relied on basic meditation techniques to increase their Soul Power, and progress was extremely slow. Some Soul Masters might not even gain one level after several years.

Of course, some Soul Masters could inherit a portion of a Soul Beast's Soul Power while absorbing its Soul Ring, allowing their Soul Power level to rise quickly!

But generally speaking, inheriting Soul Power from a Soul Beast could at most raise one's level by two or three levels, and that was already under ideal circumstances!

Yet Qin He had reached Level 20 directly without cultivating. At this level, didn't that mean he could already absorb a second Soul Ring?
