"Okay, Teacher!"
Huang Wei soon emerged from the Papal Palace.
He immediately returned to his room in the Luxury Villa.
During the fifteen days he had been away, the Maids had kept the place clean while waiting for his return.
When they saw Huang Wei return, they all bowed respectfully. "Young Master!"
Huang Wei nodded and, without another word, headed straight for the Artificial Lake. He stripped off his clothes and jumped in to cultivate.
Then, as always, he entered a cultivation state.
Only cultivation could make him feel this comfortable now.
Staying in Spirit Hall was currently the safest choice.
The days passed one after another.
In the blink of an eye, three months had gone by.
Over those three months, Huang Wei cultivated while having fun.
For example, after breakfast in the morning, he would go out and have fun in Spirit City. When he returned in the afternoon, he would cultivate, then go back to his room at night to sleep with the air conditioner on.
He occasionally returned to school as well.
"Three months already, and they still haven't come out."
Huang Wei looked toward Death Valley.
Hu Liena and the other two were still there. Three months had passed, yet none of them had emerged.
Was it really that difficult?
"I wonder how much their cultivation will improve after they come out."
He was extremely curious.
"I've just reached Level 30. In a while, I'll have Teacher take me to hunt my Third Soul Ring."
"I should also start making plans for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest."
Huang Wei muttered to himself.
After getting dressed, he hurried toward Bibi Dong's chambers.
When Bibi Dong learned that Huang Wei had reached Level 30, she could not help but be surprised.
After all, he was a six-year-old Soul Elder—the first on the continent.
Bibi Dong was overjoyed and planned to take Huang Wei to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Huang Wei asked, "Teacher, other than the Star Dou Great Forest, isn't there also a Sunset Forest nearby?"
Bibi Dong nodded. "That's right, but Sunset Forest is within the Heaven Dou Empire."
Spirit Hall had not truly fallen out with the Heaven Dou Empire yet, so going there would not cause any major problems.
Huang Wei said, "Teacher, I don't know why, but after reaching Level 30, the Mysterious Tortoise inside me seems to be guiding me in that direction. It feels as if there's some opportunity meant for me there."
Bibi Dong was startled. "Really? Martial Souls can do that?!"
She had truly never heard of such a thing.
Huang Wei sank into thought as well. "Yes. Somehow, I feel there's an opportunity in the direction of Sunset Forest, but I don't know what it is."
"Since that's the case, let's go investigate."
As Bibi Dong spoke, she immediately took Huang Wei and sped toward Sunset Forest.
A Titled Douluo's speed was incredibly fast.
They arrived around dusk.
At night, with Bibi Dong's terrifying aura released, the Soul Beasts here did not dare come out.
Bibi Dong asked, "How do you feel now?"
Huang Wei pretended to close his eyes in deep thought. "I'm not too sure either."
Bibi Dong said, "Then I'll catch you a turtle first. After you absorb it, we'll see whether that feeling came from the Soul Ring."
Huang Wei nodded. "Alright!"
After all, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was likely surrounded by Dugu Bo's poisonous fog.
It was also extremely well hidden. Sunset Forest was so vast that it would not be easy to find.
Even if they found it, he seemed unable to pluck the Immortal Herbs inside.
The harvesting methods were particularly particular.
Unless Bibi Dong had something capable of storing living creatures.
"Your Third Soul Ring will be a turtle too, right?"
Bibi Dong walked slowly as she spoke.
Huang Wei followed and nodded. "Yes. Any Turtle Type Soul Beast with a suitable age, or slightly older, will do. My Soul Skills aren't granted by Soul Rings anyway. They come from my Martial Soul Mysterious Tortoise."
"The normal limit for a third Soul Ring is 1,760 years. You're rather special. How many years do you think you can challenge?"
Bibi Dong nodded slowly. She had already known about this.
Huang Wei frowned and thought about it. In truth, he did not care.
Still, he said, "To be safe, around two thousand years."
"Two hundred and forty years over the limit. But with your current physical defenses and the uniqueness of your Mysterious Tortoise, that may truly not be a problem." Bibi Dong did not refuse. Instead, she nodded and agreed to Huang Wei's safe estimate.
The two continued deeper inside.
"So? Can you sense that opportunity now?" Bibi Dong looked at Huang Wei beside her.
Huang Wei thought to himself, Sense my ass. I made the whole thing up to fool you.
He shook his head. "No. I don't know why, but that feeling suddenly disappeared. I don't know whether it was just an illusion."
As he spoke, he raised a hand and scratched his head. Then he looked up at Bibi Dong with a guilty expression. "Sorry, Teacher."
Bibi Dong did not mind. A faint smile appeared on her lips as she said gently, "What does that matter? If it's gone, then it's gone. You don't need to apologize to me. Besides, Soul Beasts of the Turtle Type that suit your age requirement aren't found only in the Star Dou Great Forest. At worst, we can find one here for you to absorb..."
"Hm? Could it really be this much of a coincidence?"
Suddenly, Bibi Dong paused. She released her powerful Spiritual Power and swept it through everything around them, discovering a patch of red pond water beneath a valley not far away.
It caught her attention.
She decisively took Huang Wei into the sky with her.
They arrived at the mouth of the valley she had sensed.
Beneath the rolling valley ahead lay a patch of red forest, its colors completely out of place with the surroundings.
Within that red forest was a Blood Red Pond.
"Teacher, was this formed naturally?" Huang Wei took a deep sniff and caught a faint smell of blood.
But no matter how he looked at it, it did not seem like the aftermath of a slaughter.
Bibi Dong stared at it with profound eyes, then nodded. "Yes, it was naturally formed. This is the first time I've seen one like this."
"Teacher, could my Martial Soul be in there?" Huang Wei asked again.
"There's a very large Soul Beast inside. Judging by its body shape, it looks like a Turtle Type creature."
Bibi Dong nodded and raised a jade-like finger toward the Blood Red Pond below.
"Then let's go down and take a look, Teacher!" Huang Wei urged eagerly.
Bibi Dong descended with Huang Wei, releasing the terrifying aura of a Titled Douluo. Nine Soul Rings emerged, the last of them blood red.
Her overwhelming presence instantly crushed everything around them.
Since Huang Wei was under her protection, he did not feel the terror of that power.
At that moment, the huge creature within the Blood Red Pond trembled in fear.
It seemed to understand that its life would end tonight...
Huang Wei's eyes burned as he looked at Bibi Dong's final red Ninth Soul Ring.
Is that the Soul Ring of Xiao Wu's Rabbit Spirit mother?
Heh, a family should be nice and complete.
The mother had already become a Soul Ring, so naturally the daughter could not be left behind.
As for who the Rabbit Spirit's father was, the original novel had never mentioned him.
Could it have been some burly roadside rabbit who...
Tsk, tsk...
That was painful to imagine.
Huang Wei secretly clicked his tongue.
He was six years old now and about to become a Soul Elder.
As for Tang San and the others, they were probably only in their teens in terms of levels.
They were completely incomparable to him.
So once he became a Soul Elder, it would be time to begin setting his plans in motion.
Because by then, he would have an openly recognized and extremely impressive identity.
Spirit Hall's Holy Son!
With that identity, status, and authority, everything would become much easier.
At that thought, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
All external forces that opposed Spirit Hall and would eventually bring Spirit Hall to death and Destruction—he would crush them all without mercy!
At that thought, he seemed to already see the day coming, and his heart blossomed with joy.
Unaware of Huang Wei's thoughts, Bibi Dong raised her hand. The enormous spider spear of her Martial Soul plunged into the Blood Pool.
With a fierce flick!
A gigantic blood red turtle was sent flying into the air. With a slap from Bibi Dong, it crashed directly before Huang Wei.
"It's 2,100 years old, a hundred years over. Are you confident?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly. Rather than being happy, she was worried as she immediately looked at Huang Wei.
Huang Wei nodded decisively. "Don't worry, Teacher. There definitely won't be a problem!"
Because the familiar panel appeared before his eyes.
Soul Beast: Blood Sun Strange Tortoise Age: 2,100 years Personality: Resolute, steadfast, violent. The host's Martial Soul is the Mysterious Tortoise, which suppresses Turtle Type creatures. Combined with his formidable physical defenses, he can easily absorb it as a Soul Ring. Absorb? Yes/No
Huang Wei immediately summoned his Martial Soul Mysterious Tortoise and let it possess him.
The Emerald Armor covered his body, and his entire aura became completely different.
He also became more handsome.
"Teacher, I'm going to absorb it now!" Huang Wei said.
Bibi Dong nodded. "Absorb it. With me here, no Soul Beast will dare approach this place."
