Some Master? There Was Never One!

Whoosh!

Following the scent, Ye Tian swiftly twisted around, drew his dagger, locked onto the target, and hurled the blade he had long had ready at the shadow.

He remained where he stood, his eyes shining brightly.

Ye Tian had already tested the dagger on broken-off branches. Its sharpness was beyond imagination.

It could effortlessly slash through and pierce solid wood as thick as an adult's thumb. On the outermost edge of the forest, no Spirit Beast could possibly defend against it!

Especially at such close range.

There was no way he could miss.

Pfft—!

Just as Ye Tian had expected.

The dagger he threw with all his strength collided with the shadow. After a mournful cry, the shadow fell onto the thick bed of leaves.

After twitching twice, it went still.

Seeing this.

The Soul Power surging around Bibi Dong quickly settled, and she smiled as she praised him with satisfaction. "Very good."

"A fox?"

Ye Tian let out a breath of relief before finally seeing clearly what the shadow was.

"A Red Fox that's only a dozen or so years old. Its only advantage is probably its speed. If that eye-stinging musky stench counts, too."

As soon as Bibi Dong finished introducing it.

Under Ye Tian's gaze, a faint white glow emerged from the fox's body and slowly rose, condensing into a white Soul Ring above its head.

At the same time.

A fox-like stench drifted from the Red Fox's corpse. It really was rather eye-stinging, enough to make someone want to tear up uncontrollably.

Before Ye Tian could inspect it more closely.

The white Soul Ring slowly began to move, floating toward Bibi Dong and settling on the tip of her raised index finger.

"This is a Soul Ring. After killing a Spirit Beast, you only need to use Soul Power to guide it, sit cross-legged with your eyes closed, circulate your Soul Power, and absorb it. One thing to note: only the person who killed it can absorb this Soul Ring. You understand what I mean, right?"

Bibi Dong leisurely looked at Ye Tian. As she moved her wrist, the white Soul Ring spun like a hula hoop around her index finger.

"Understood!"

Ye Tian nodded.

It was nothing more than whoever killed it got to absorb it.

"Very good!"

Bibi Dong's voice was light as she flicked her finger, sending the white ring before Ye Tian.

"Remember, it will disperse after one hour."

Ye Tian nodded and reached out to touch the white Soul Ring. It felt like touching air with a slightly higher density, carrying a faint warmth.

"What? You want to absorb this Soul Ring?"

Bibi Dong crossed her arms over her chest and teasingly looked down upon Ye Tian.

Hearing that.

Ye Tian hurriedly flicked the Soul Ring away as if he had touched some dirty thing, then rubbed his hand against his clothes twice. He said righteously:

"Don't joke around, Teacher."

"I'm the Saintess's Disciple of Spirit Hall. A white ring? It doesn't suit me!"

Puchi sound—

Bibi Dong shook her head with an amused smile.

"Brat, you know how to flatter people now? Sometimes, I really want to tear that foul mouth of yours to pieces!"

Bibi Dong bent down, narrowed her eyes, and rather frivolously pinched Ye Tian's cheeks, shaking them from side to side.

"There's quite a bit of flesh here."

"I wasn't flattering you."

Ye Tian said in a muffled voice, gritting his teeth inwardly.

Today's humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold someday!

Just wait.

I'll return it all!

Quite a bit of flesh?

There are plenty more places on your body with flesh!

"The feel isn't bad either."

After pinching him, Bibi Dong even glanced at Ye Tian with disdain. She rubbed her fingertips together and delivered her assessment. She simply liked seeing this brat, who looked down upon her, unable to stand her yet unable to do anything about her.

But she was not talking nonsense.

She even wanted to try pinching Qian Renxue's face. It was so pale and tender; it would definitely feel even better.

How about finding an opportunity to pinch her until she cried next time?

It seemed entirely feasible.

She was going to make her cry anyway. Pinching her cheeks should be a gentler approach, right?

But Bibi Dong only entertained the thought briefly.

Then she immediately dismissed it.

The moment she came into contact with that sacred aura, she felt so nauseated that she wanted to vomit!

"Humph!"

Bibi Dong gave a cold snort. All the teasing vanished from her face, replaced by icy chill.

Just then.

A voice drifted over.

"Teacher, do you think this dagger is still usable? Will it get the smell on it?"

While she had been lost in thought, Ye Tian had already gone over to the Red Fox. He pinched his nose with one hand, held the dagger with the other, and looked toward Bibi Dong.

"Take it or leave it!"

Bibi Dong lowered her eyes and snapped coldly.

"???"

Ye Tian stood there, stunned.

Looking at Bibi Dong, he thought, So she was standing there having another fit just now?

Ye Tian did not argue with her and settled for the next best thing.

"Then, Teacher, do you have any water? Let me wash my dag—"

"Enough nonsense!"

Before Ye Tian could finish, Bibi Dong interrupted him.

"I didn't bring you here to play. Since you don't want this white ring, do you have a suitable target Spirit Beast in mind?"

"A target Spirit Beast?"

At the mention of business, Ye Tian's eyes flickered.

He no longer wanted water, and even the Red Fox beneath his feet no longer seemed so foul-smelling.

With a whoosh, Ye Tian neatly sheathed the dagger and strode over to Bibi Dong.

"..."

Bibi Dong watched helplessly, veins bulging at her temple.

This bastard, what fake squeamishness!

"Teacher, I want to hunt a thousand year Spirit Beast!"

"..."

Silence. In the forest, only insects chirped.

Ye Tian's words fed every trace of Bibi Dong's irritation to the dogs.

Her brow seemed twisted into a knot.

Bibi Dong even suspected that she had misheard him.

Unable to help herself, she asked again.

"What did you say?"

"Teacher, you heard me correctly. I said I want to absorb a Millennium Spirit Ring."

Ye Tian repeated.

"You? A Millennium Spirit Ring?"

Bibi Dong's eyes were full of confusion, then she couldn't help laughing.

"Pfft haha."

"Brat, are you trying to amuse me?"

Ye Tian shook his head.

"I'm serious."

"Serious?"

Bibi Dong furrowed her slender eyebrows and said in a cold voice:

"Do you know that according to Master’s theory, the limit for the First Spirit Ring is four hundred and twenty-three years? A Millennium Spirit Ring is something only Spirit Masters above level 30 are qualified to consider."

"Four hundred and twenty-three years?"

Ye Tian was stunned.

He had not expected Bibi Dong to bring up Yu Xiaogang's theory at a time like this.

Even Bibi Dong did not know why.

That person, whom she had long stopped mentioning, had appeared from her lips again today.

Perhaps it was because Ye Tian had displayed such talent in theory.

It gave her the urge to fight for a breath for that person—and to seek a little comfort for herself!

Ye Tian was neither hurried nor flustered.

He calmly pointed at the Red Fox lying on the ground over there.

"Then, Teacher, can you tell me the exact age of this Spirit Beast?"

"The exact age of this Spirit Beast is..."

Bibi Dong was about to answer without thinking, but as the answer reached her lips.

She froze.

She looked at the Red Fox, examined it for a long while, and her pupils contracted.

This question.

She could not provide an answer!

Or rather, no one in the entire Soul Master World could provide one!

Who could accurately determine the exact age of a Spirit Beast?!

There was no answer!

There simply was none!
