The Same Method Worked Every Time!

The Same Method Worked Every Time!

Three days later...

On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The four landed steadily on the ground. Liu Yanyang looked at Yang Wudi ahead of him.

"Old Yang, do you have any thoughts about your eighth Soul Ring?"

Yang Wudi shook his head. "It'd already be good enough to encounter a suitable high-year soul beast. How could this old man be as picky as you?"

Liu Yanyang looked a little embarrassed and scratched the back of his head.

"Are you interested in those two ten-thousand-year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bears, Old Monster?"

Yang Wudi gave Liu Yanyang an appreciative look before shaking his head.

"Save them for your fifth and sixth Soul Rings. Otherwise, this old man might have to wander around the Star Dou Great Forest with you for half a year."

Liu Yanyang did not know whether to laugh or cry. This little old man was rather tsundere. He immediately said, "I have a way to increase my Martial Soul's attack power. Those two Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bears are no longer suitable for me. What I need now are True Dragon Soul Beasts, or soul beasts with True Dragon Bloodlines!"

Seeing the sincerity in Liu Yanyang's eyes, Yang Wudi merely nodded without saying anything more.

"Little Monster, you really dare to dream. This old man has lived for so many years, yet I've never seen a True Dragon Soul Beast."

"Still, I heard that Yu Yuanzhen's ninth Soul Ring came from a pure-blooded dragon-type soul beast."

"When the time comes, I'll take you to have a look around the Thunder Gorge of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Whether you can find a pure-blooded dragon species will depend on your luck!"

Liu Yanyang's eyes lit up. He had indeed forgotten about Thunder Gorge. There were quite a few dragon-type soul beasts there, though most of them were lightning-attributed.

It was now controlled by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which barred outsiders from entering. But for him and Dugu Bo, wasn't it simply a matter of entering whenever they wanted? Unless Yu Yuanzhen stood guard there every day!

Afterward, the group headed toward the Core Ring of the Star Dou Great Forest.

In less than two hours, they arrived at the cave from before.

The surrounding towering trees had been cut cleanly at their roots, while an entire layer of earth had been shaved off the ground. The area was filled with devastation.

It seemed that stealing the little Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear last time had left the two adults raging helplessly.

"There are no soul beasts in the cave!" Dugu Bo said after using his spiritual detection.

"They must have gone out to look for food."

He then looked at Yang Wudi and said somewhat awkwardly, "How about we do it again?"

Yang Wudi nodded somewhat sheepishly as well.

They entered the cave, took out "Dream" from the Storage Soul Tool, lit it, and placed it in a concealed corner before leaving directly.

After returning, Dugu Bo asked, "Old Yang, what did you put inside?"

"'Dream.' Once lit, it is colorless, odorless, and formless. After an hour, it guarantees they won't wake up for three days."

Dugu Bo shook his head and chuckled. He truly felt sorry for the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear family, getting tricked twice in a row.

As dusk approached, two enormous crimson-gold bears came walking from afar. The four concealed themselves and watched as the bears entered the cave.

The corners of their mouths all curled up slightly.

An hour later.

The group slowly entered the cave and saw that the two giant bears were already sleeping soundly.

"Which one do you want? Just kill it. Super soul beasts like these are truly rare!" Dugu Bo remarked.

Yang Wudi did not waste any words. He directly summoned his Soul Breaking Spear and thrust it into the head of the thirty-thousand-year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

It did not even struggle before a deep black Soul Ring emerged.

Yang Wudi immediately sat cross-legged, drew in the Soul Ring, and began refining it.

The first light of dawn appeared!

Yang Wudi slowly opened his eyes. Eight Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet, and the aura of a Soul Douluo was displayed to the fullest at that moment.

"Hahaha, level 82! Congratulations, Old Yang! How is your eighth Soul Ring?" Dugu Bo said heartily.

Liu Yanyang and Shui Xinrou also offered their congratulations.

After lightly cupping his hands, Yang Wudi said, "Very strong. My eighth soul skill—Universe Throw—combines the traits of the Soul Breaking Spear with the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's powerful attack. It directly locks onto the enemy and kills them with a single strike."

It had something in common with my fourth soul skill—Self-Sacrifice.

"I'm afraid you could even fight an ordinary Titled Douluo now!" Dugu Bo said with a sigh.

Yang Wudi nodded. Even if he had to fight a Titled Douluo, he was not afraid in the slightest.

"Aunt Shui, it probably won't be easy to find an ice-attributed soul beast suitable for you in the Star Dou Great Forest. How about we travel through the night to the Extreme North Land?" Liu Yanyang said calmly.

"When you said before that you could help me break through to level 80, Xiao Yang, I had already asked a friend in the soul beast hunting business to help me look for one."

"Not long ago, they sent word that in a valley northwest of the Extreme North Land, there was an Extreme Frost Bird just over eighty thousand years old."

Shui Xinrou could barely contain her excitement as she spoke happily.

"Then let's rest for a while before heading straight to our destination!"

One week later.

Somewhere in a canyon within the Extreme North Land.

"That Extreme Frost Bird is resting over there." Shui Xinrou pointed toward a flat area in the valley.

"Old Poison, stay alert of our surroundings. Don't let other Soul Beasts or Soul Masters interfere."

"Aunt Shui and Old Yang, the two of you will join forces to hunt that Extreme Frost Bird."

"I'll just stay here and behave myself."

Liu Yanyang spoke gloomily. An eighty-thousand-year-old Soul Beast was not something he could afford to challenge.

Not long afterward, violent explosions erupted from the valley, accompanied by wave after wave of piercing cries.

A massive ice-blue beam pierced through the clouds and stretched across the heavens. Everything in its path was frozen solid.

"Martial Soul Avatar ×2!"

A blue giant bird more than thirty meters long appeared and let out a cry.

"Sixth Soul Skill—Ice Sky Snow Land!"

At once, fierce winds rose within the valley as heavy snow swirled through the air. The Extreme Frost Bird felt the pressure, and its movements faltered.

"Eighth Soul Skill—Universe Throw!"

A dark spear roughly fifty meters long appeared in the sky, its entire body wreathed in black flames, its enormous spearhead coated in dazzling golden light.

With its blade pointed downward, it seemed like a heavenly tribulation sent from above, carrying overwhelming celestial might as it descended unstoppably.

In an instant, it pierced through the sluggish Extreme Frost Bird and crashed heavily into the ground, kicking up billowing clouds of dust.

The blue giant bird immediately dove down, its massive claws piercing straight through the Extreme Frost Bird that had been nailed firmly to the ground.

An incomparably deep black Soul Ring emerged. Shui Xinrou returned to her human form and immediately sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing.

A quarter of an hour later, she opened her eyes, drew the Soul Ring toward herself, and began absorbing and refining it.

Liu Yanyang and Dugu Bo descended from the sky, standing silently in place as they guarded Shui Xinrou while she absorbed the Soul Ring.

Dusk was approaching!

Shui Xinrou slowly opened her eyes. After rising to her feet, she gave Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi a slight bow in thanks.

Then, she looked at Liu Yanyang and said, "Thank you as well, Xiao Yang!"

"My Soul Power is now at level 82. My Eighth Soul Skill—Extreme Frost Beam—is a single-target attack. Any enemy struck by it will be sealed in ice, and the cold will invade their body instantly until they die."

Liu Yanyang scratched the back of his head before saying, "Since we're all here, I'd like to discuss our future development!"
