Rat's Eye, Inch Light? Don't Regret It

Ye Tian's various monstrous displays made Bibi Dong give him a rare heartfelt lecture.

In her ingrained way of thinking,

when Support Spirit Masters fought, serving as military logistics was the best destination for Food System Spirit Masters.

This was even a rigid expectation throughout the entire Soul Master World

for Food System Spirit Masters!

And Food System Spirit Masters like Ye Tian, who would mess around for petty gains right in front of them,

were simply recognized as heretics.

That was why seeing a Food System Spirit Master make someone fly

would be enough to shock everyone present.

Because, at first, basically no one in the entire Soul Master World had even considered this direction.

Even Oscar had stumbled upon it by chance.

Back then, they had only taken a fancy to the Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Snake's large cockscomb that stored nutrients.

Fate was a strange thing.

"..."

Ye Tian fell silent for a moment.

He had not expected Bibi Dong to misunderstand, much less to care so much about him.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he respectfully said,

"Thank you for your concern, Teacher. I believe the Gluttonous Snake's Soul Ring will not disappoint me."

"You!"

Bibi Dong glared at him, furious beyond measure.

She had not expected Ye Tian to bring his mercenary attitude toward money into cultivation.

He was being so blindly impatient for quick success.

"Are you sure?!"

Bibi Dong patiently asked one more time.

"I'm sure!"

Ye Tian answered without hesitation.

At that point, Bibi Dong understood that good advice could not save a fool determined to die.

So she might as well grant Ye Tian his wish.

"Fine! Don't regret it. Follow me!"

Bibi Dong's voice turned cold.

What bullshit cultivation genius or theoretical prodigy? He was nothing more than a short-sighted idiot!

Increase cultivation speed?

With the effect of a First Soul Skill, it might become nothing but decoration once he reached Soul Elder!

"Ha... stereotypes really do harm people."

Ye Tian sighed helplessly and stepped forward to follow her.

He understood.

The Spirit Skills Bibi Dong recommended had all been tested and proven by those before them.

It could only be said that each had its own pros and cons.

In Ye Tian's view,

he was naturally unwilling to be nothing more than an ordinary support or logistics worker. Nor would he choose Spirit Skills merely to accommodate some bullshit team battle.

Cultivation had always been his own affair from beginning to end.

When battle broke out,

aside from playing house in an arena,

unless necessary, anyone who obediently waited for the fight to begin was an idiot!

"Hmph!"

Walking ahead, Bibi Dong was still too upset to hold it in and snorted coldly.

She felt her wasted breath had not been worth it!

Still dissatisfied, Bibi Dong turned back. All her appreciation for Ye Tian had vanished, leaving only sarcasm and mockery.

"Brat, I'll wait for the day you regret this."

"Teacher, even if I fail to achieve my goal, I will not regret it."

Ye Tian still wore a confident expression.

Even if it only accelerated cultivation for a short time, it would at the very least restore Soul Power.

That effect was also very practical.

Besides, this was a Millennium First Ring. With this and future opportunities as a foundation,

Ye Tian did not think this was a risk.

But thinking of Bibi Dong's concern just now, Ye Tian could not help saying a few more words.

"Teacher, there was once a saying posted at the head of the dormitory bed that this Disciple liked very much: 'The past cannot be undone, but the future can be changed.' There is no meaning in being consumed by the past and regret. It is better to seize the present and focus on the future."

"Cut the crap!"

Bibi Dong did not buy it at all and continued walking forward on her own.

"..."

Ye Tian opened his mouth, then helplessly shook his head.

He had forgotten.

Not to mention Bibi Dong—even most other women could not listen to such grand principles when they were angry.

For the rest of the journey,

Bibi Dong became increasingly taciturn.

Whenever Ye Tian encountered a Spirit Beast he did not recognize, she answered whatever he asked. She looked entirely businesslike.

As for that,

Ye Tian could do nothing about it.

He could only hope that the Gluttonous Snake's Soul Ring would make him look good.

He was completely certain of it!

After all, the Gluttonous Snake mainly cultivated by eating. It did not possess the trait of rapid cultivation, nor did it fit Ye Tian's Pill Martial Soul.

As for crawling or strangling prey, those were even further removed.

Its greatest trait was transformation, and that trait could be completely integrated into pills.

Ye Tian could not help but sigh.

Sometimes,

the more useless a Spirit Beast was, the more it allowed Spirit Masters to make targeted choices.

Time slipped away through the gaps of light between the trees,

its passage visibly swift.

On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, with a Soul Douluo strong person like Bibi Dong present, Ye Tian and the others naturally faced no danger whatsoever.

They steadily advanced deeper inside.

Along the way, they only spent some time eating, drinking, relieving themselves, and defecating, as well as resting for less than an hour.

They did encounter a hundred-year Gluttonous Snake crazily devouring fallen leaves, dry bones, as well as some other thousand-year Spirit Beasts suitable for Food System Spirit Masters.

Faced with Bibi Dong's renewed questions and hints,

Ye Tian refused them all.

He still firmly chose the Gluttonous Snake.

After that,

Bibi Dong completely stopped speaking to him, as though she intended to let him fend for himself.

Ye Tian could only proactively stick close to her,

seeking protection.

--

The sky outside gradually darkened as the sun sank westward.

The forest had long since become dim.

Finally,

when they were still half an hour's walk from the Mixed Zone, Bibi Dong spotted the target!

"Found it. Hurry and follow."

"!!!"

Ye Tian immediately perked up and looked over. Before her words had even faded, Bibi Dong shot out from the branch.

Watching that afterimage vanish into the distance,

Ye Tian stood dumbfounded. Once he came to his senses, he hurriedly chased after her.

He wished he could grow two more legs.

"Teacher, I didn't get on the ride—ah, damn it! Wait for me!"

With a whoosh,

a purple afterimage shot back.

Ye Tian's feet left the ground, and his collar strangled him until he nearly suffocated. Bibi Dong's rebuke rang in his ears.

"Coward!"

"I'm still just a Soul Master! This place is already close to the Mixed Zone!"

Ye Tian grabbed the collar tightening around his neck and retorted.

"Hmph, still talking tough!"

Bibi Dong carried Ye Tian and covered dozens of meters in just a few leaps.

Ye Tian finally caught sight of the Gluttonous Snake.

Its body was over six meters long and as thick as an adult's neck. Its entire body was pitch-black, and it was strangling its prey.

Light flashed explosively around Ye Tian.

A burst of green light appeared, accompanied by eight Soul Rings rising into view.

No one saw how Bibi Dong attacked.

A mass of dark purple energy shot straight out, then spread through the air.

It transformed into an enormous spiderweb carrying purple Poison Mist.

Third Soul Skill,

Death Spider Web Bind!

"Hiss!"

Although the six-meter giant snake spotted the web in advance, it was still caught within it without surprise.

A mere thousand-year Spirit Beast could struggle and bite all it wanted, but it could not escape.

The purple Poison Mist carried by the web

numbed its entire body.

It gradually collapsed onto the ground, left waiting for Ye Tian to harvest it.

"Caught it!"

Ye Tian's eyes were filled with excitement. He could finally become a true Spirit Master!

Bibi Dong carried Ye Tian down onto the giant snake's back, which could not even move. Her eyes examined it from side to side as she frowned. "This Gluttonous Snake is nearly sixteen hundred years old. Are you sure you want this one?"

"I'm sure! This one!"

Ye Tian happily nodded, full of confidence.

Bibi Dong sighed inwardly. Things had already come this far; anything she said would seem feeble.

"Since that is the case, adjust your condition first."

After saying that,

Bibi Dong tossed Ye Tian onto the ground.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Ye Tian staggered to his feet, thanked Bibi Dong, then bent his knees and Sat Cross-legged.

"I'll have to trouble Teacher to stand guard for me."

"Enough nonsense."

Bibi Dong faced him with a cold expression.

She had even considered directly killing the Spirit Beast beneath their feet, but she still did not act.

Ye Tian was irrelevant to her.

She had already done all she could.
