Capturing the Emperor Rui Beast?

The next day.

Early in the morning, Qian Xunji took Yun Yuan and set off for the Star Dou Great Forest to help him obtain his Second Soul Ring.

This time, Qian Xunji was brimming with enthusiasm, determined to secure an exceptional Soul Ring for Yun Yuan.

After all, his young disciple had been far too outstanding. He had broken through to Soul Grandmaster in less than a year, leaving Qian Xunji immensely satisfied. As his Teacher, he naturally had to pull his weight as well and could not hold him back when it came to obtaining Soul Rings.

A few hours later, since Spirit City bordered the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Xunji and Yun Yuan arrived quickly.

"Xiao Yuan, for your Second Soul Ring, we'll search according to the priority order of the Soul Beasts we marked out earlier."

"Oh, before that, Teacher will check your physical condition first and see what Year Limit of Soul Ring you can absorb."

With that, Qian Xunji placed a hand on Yun Yuan's shoulder and began examining his physical condition.

"Mm, your physical strength is already comparable to that of a Beast Martial Soul Soul Elder. I'd estimate that anything below two thousand years won't be a problem."

After examining him, Qian Xunji gained some confidence. During this trip into the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest, they would try to find a Soul Beast around two thousand years old.

Next, the two wandered through the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest. Finding a suitable Soul Beast was not something that could be done in a short time.

"Green Blade Mantis, ranked over twentieth in priority, approximately fifteen hundred years old. This one won't do."

This search was clearly even more difficult than the last one. As Soul Beasts increased in age, their numbers naturally decreased as well.

Accordingly, the difficulty of finding a suitable Soul Beast soared.

Two full days passed without Qian Xunji and Yun Yuan finding anything, making Yun Yuan sigh at the difficulty of obtaining a suitable Soul Ring.

No wonder top experts generally emerged only from major factions. Simply choosing a suitable Soul Ring in the Star Dou Great Forest was already enough to stump the vast majority of commoner Soul Masters.

Without luck, most commoner Soul Masters could only settle for a passable Soul Ring, let alone one compatible with their Martial Soul.

In a Soul Master's growth, Meditation Cultivation and obtaining Soul Rings were both crucial factors.

Unlike Yun Yuan, who was growing somewhat impatient, Qian Xunji remained exceedingly patient as he carefully searched for a suitable Soul Beast for him.

But soon, his Spiritual Power detected a Soul Beast that deeply shocked him.

In his perception, that Soul Beast was not particularly old, only a few thousand years at most, yet its quality was the highest he had ever seen in his life.

Moreover, it was a Soul Beast of the light and fire attributes, making it perfectly suited to the Angel Clan's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

Upon discovering such a Super Soul Beast, a trace of greed flashed through Qian Xunji's heart, and he looked in a certain direction with covetous eyes.

Since he had been fortunate enough to encounter a Soul Beast of this level, he could not let it slip away. He would capture it, raise it in captivity, and when the Angel Clan produced a Genius Soul Master in the future, this Soul Beast could serve as that Angel Soul Master's Soul Ring.

At that thought, Qian Xunji stopped walking, leaving Yun Yuan beside him slightly puzzled.

What was wrong with his Teacher? Had he discovered something new?

"Xiao Yuan, we'll put off obtaining your Soul Ring for now. Come with Teacher to capture a Super Soul Beast."

After saying this to Yun Yuan, Qian Xunji did not wait for him to react. He summoned his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, grabbed Yun Yuan, and rushed toward the direction where he had sensed the Super Soul Beast.

"A Super Soul Beast? What kind of Soul Beast is Teacher trying to capture?"

Hearing what Qian Xunji intended to do, Yun Yuan could not help but begin guessing.

Yet in only a moment, Qian Xunji had already brought Yun Yuan above that Super Soul Beast.

Yun Yuan looked down. It would have been fine if he had not looked, but the moment he did, he was terrified.

The Super Soul Beast Qian Xunji intended to capture stood over two meters tall. It had golden fur, and its entire body resembled translucent crystal, filled with an unusual texture.

Its overall form resembled a lion, but its four claws were like those of a dragon, with each dragon claw stepping upon a cluster of Golden Flame.

Beneath its fur were dense golden scales. Besides its two ordinary eyes, it possessed a third eye—a vertical pupil.

Its two normal eyes gleamed gold, while the vertical pupil emitted an eerie red light.

The moment Yun Yuan saw the Super Soul Beast's appearance, a name instantly surfaced in his mind—Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion!

Was his Teacher trying to capture this Soul Beast because he thought his life was too long?

Of course, Yun Yuan knew that Qian Xunji probably did not know of the Emperor Auspicious Beast's existence. After all, in this era, people did not even know that Beasts existed, much less the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

But Qian Xunji did not recognize it—Yun Yuan did.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, this one was practically an ancestral sovereign. If they provoked her, Yun Yuan felt that, with Teacher Qian Xunji's strength, they would likely face a grave crisis.

After a brief moment of thought, Yun Yuan immediately spoke up to persuade Qian Xunji, telling him to take them away at once.

There were certainly Beasts protecting the Emperor Auspicious Beast nearby. If the Beasts made a move, it would become much harder for them to leave.

"Teacher, don't provoke that Soul Beast. We need to leave quickly, or we'll be in danger."

Yun Yuan looked at Qian Xunji and shouted loudly.

Just as Yun Yuan was about to continue explaining the matter of the Emperor Auspicious Beast and make Qian Xunji understand the severity of the situation—

Qian Xunji did not care in the slightest and replied casually.

"Xiao Yuan, don't worry. Your Teacher knows his limits. With your Teacher's cultivation as a Title Douluo and the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, even if it has a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast protecting it nearby, your Teacher can safely take you and escape. Just relax."

Qian Xunji paid Yun Yuan's words no mind. In his view, the most dangerous Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were merely Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

With the strength of his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and Title Douluo cultivation, even if he had Yun Yuan with him, he could still retreat unscathed when facing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

After replying to Yun Yuan, Qian Xunji made his move before Yun Yuan could continue explaining. A giant palm formed from Angel Soul Power materialized in midair and reached for the Emperor Rui Beast, intending to seize her.

Below, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was hunting for food when she saw a powerful human attacking her from above.

Her first reaction was fury. How dare someone attack her in the Star Dou Great Forest? Were they tired of living?

Just as she was about to roar and call for her protector, she suddenly remembered that she had snuck out on her own this time, without Di Tian's permission.

Hm? What should I do? That human up there seemed about as strong as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. I'm not going to get captured today, am I?

At this moment, both Yun Yuan and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were panicking inside.
