After Nan Xuan and Bibi Dong had a simple breakfast, Nan Xuan used his Seal Wings to carry Bibi Dong as they flew directly toward the Sunset Forest. The high-altitude flight along the way allowed them to see beautiful scenery that was usually hidden from view.

"Xiao Xuan, what kind of soul beast do you plan to hunt for your seventh soul ring this time?" Bibi Dong asked softly, her arms wrapped around Nan Xuan's waist.

"I want something that enhances soul skill effects, like a Berserk Giant Rhino. Coming to the Sunset Forest to get my soul ring is one thing, but the most important part is to secure some benefits for you all." Thinking of the effects Tang Xiaosan's immortal herbs had on the Shrek Seven Devils in the original story, Nan Xuan had no intention of leaving them for him.

Especially that Lovesick Heartbreak Red; he wanted to give it to Bibi Dong so she would have an extra layer of protection in the future. Although he could now fully perceive everything happening across the entire continent, he couldn't just teleport there instantly—the real world was not his Network World.

The Sunset Forest is one of the three great soul beast forests on the Douluo Continent, located in a mysterious area near Heaven Dou City.

Possessing rich mineral and herbal resources, it had become a paradise for blacksmiths and pharmacists, but it was also extremely dangerous. High-level soul beasts appeared one after another, and those without sufficient strength dared not easily venture into this place to gather herbs.

Legend had it that the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo lived in seclusion here. The place where he resided was called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the most mysterious location in the Sunset Forest.

Recalling the descriptions of the Sunset Forest from the original story, Nan Xuan landed as they reached the outskirts. Although it wasn't as vast as the Star Dou Great Forest, there was no shortage of high-level soul beasts here.

"Xiao Xuan, I might need to get a soul ring too. After absorbing a bit of the soul power you infused into my martial soul, I've broken through to level 80." Bibi Dong said with a smile, her eyes blinking.

Having just turned 22 a few days ago, Bibi Dong had broken through to level 80 today. According to the original story, if she had cultivated on her own, it might have taken some time, but with Nan Xuan's soul skills, she had saved quite a bit of effort.

Fortunately, the soul power Nan Xuan infused into her had been purified; otherwise, she would have been a bit worried. Coupled with her year of tempering in Slaughter City, she felt no dissonance at all. Last time, Nan Xuan told her that the soul power stored in the ring could only be used to replenish consumed energy and could not be used to cultivate or raise one's soul power level. She hadn't understood it before, but now she finally did: the latter, if not processed, would only result in a "floating" level. One might reach level 80, but their actual strength would only be at level 78.

"Alright then, let's do a husband-and-wife combo later and show those soul beasts what we're made of." Nan Xuan lowered his head to kiss Bibi Dong's neck, joking.

"You, you're just all talk. I feel like that's how you tricked me in the past." Bibi Dong pouted as she spoke.

"That's not true at all. We're together because of love." Nan Xuan said shamelessly.

"Well, I was just—" Before Bibi Dong could finish her sentence, a black shadow darted past them.

"Swish, swish, swish."

"Xiao Xuan, what was that just now?" Bibi Dong knew that Nan Xuan always kept his First Soul Skill active. Although he didn't always actively probe for all information, in situations like this, he preferred to be cautious.

"We've reached the central region of the Sunset Forest. That was a Shadow Ghost Tiger, and its age is just right for your eighth soul ring." Nan Xuan said happily, looking at the several black shadows in the distance.

Bibi Dong didn't know why Nan Xuan was so happy and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Ordinary Ghost Tigers have cloning skills, but this Shadow Ghost Tiger is an anomaly among them. Their skills are also clones, but they possess dark-type characteristics. Just like how your Martial Soul Hall's Ghost Douluo can hide in other people's shadows, this one can do the same." Nan Xuan patted Bibi Dong's head, acting like a scholar as he pointed at the Shadow Ghost Tiger to teach her on the spot.

Shadow Ghost Tiger: Can you not ignore me? Can you show some respect?

Bibi Dong realized what he meant and signaled for Nan Xuan to lock onto its position; she was ready to strike.

Nan Xuan understood instantly. Under the perception of his First Soul Skill, the beast had nowhere to hide.

Spreading the cyan wings on his back, a Hexagram Array instantly formed and shot directly onto the Shadow Ghost Tiger.

"Gotcha." Bibi Dong activated her Third Soul Skill, Death Spider Web Restraint. A massive spider web enveloped the target, followed by her Sixth Soul Skill, Blood-Sucking Spider Thorn, to finish it off.

"Still as smooth as ever." Nan Xuan watched the now-dead Shadow Ghost Tiger and sighed inwardly.

"I have to say, your Seal Wings are truly useful. A skill that seals 65% of an opponent's soul power and stamina is truly heaven-defying." Bibi Dong could already guess what he was thinking based on the expression on his face.

"Of course. I used a lot of soul power to evolve this to the level of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone; otherwise, you wouldn't think it could be this easy." When he first obtained it, he couldn't help but upgrade it. Otherwise, as a Support-type Soul Master without any attack skills, how could he even play?

"So, does that mean you can increase the age of any soul bone?" Bibi Dong asked excitedly, unable to suppress the curiosity deep in her heart.

"Theoretically, yes. Not just soul bones, but soul rings too. However, I haven't tried it on a soul ring yet. After all, evolving these Seal Wings to a hundred thousand years already consumed three-tenths of my current soul power reserves." This time, Nan Xuan was honest with Bibi Dong, unlike before when he hadn't even told her about upgrading the Seal Wings.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't want to tell her. If you can win by lying down, why bother doing it yourself? Although he had acted every time, women in love have an IQ of zero.

"Oh." Bibi Dong's mouth opened into an "O" shape in surprise, wide enough to fit a carrot.

"Xiao Xuan, you're on a path to reach the heavens." Bibi Dong could only use such words to describe Nan Xuan, because such a situation had never happened in history; he was a miracle.

"Alright, no matter how powerful I am, I'm still your man and a Support-type Soul Master. Hurry up and absorb the soul ring; if we wait too long, unnecessary trouble might arise." Nan Xuan pinched her cheek and said with a smile.

Bibi Dong blushed and walked over to the corpse to begin absorbing the soul ring.

A few hours later.

"Spider Emperor Clone." Following Bibi Dong's shout, eight dark shadows separated from behind her. Each shadow had her appearance and possessed 43% of her original strength. This soul skill was considered top-tier among soul masters of the same level.

"How is it? Not bad, right?" Bibi Dong ran to Nan Xuan's side, looking satisfied.

"Hmm, it's quite good, but they are just illusions. Otherwise, I could have nine of you at the same time." Nan Xuan said with a look of regret, feeling a bit disappointed.

Hearing this, Bibi Dong's eyes widened, but that was all. She understood Nan Xuan; this guy had many ideas, but in reality, he was firmly under her control.

"Hurry up and find your soul beast. All you do is think about these things all day." Bibi Dong said to Nan Xuan with a haughty air.

"Hehe, while you were absorbing your soul ring, I already used my soul skill to locate it. Let's go." Nan Xuan grinned. He didn't waste any time, as he intended to finish this soul ring before dark, because he had an even more important task for the night.

Under Nan Xuan's guidance, Bibi Dong soon saw a massive, earth-brown rhinoceros. She looked at Nan Xuan, and after receiving his confirmation, she activated her soul skills.

Nan Xuan didn't plan to use his Seal Wings this time. After all, this beast was only 60,000 years old, equivalent to a Soul Saint-level soul beast. It was just right for Bibi Dong to practice and get used to her newly acquired soul skill.

Before long, the 60,000-year-old Berserk Giant Rhino was left in a dying state.

Seeing this, Nan Xuan compressed his soul power at his fingertips and released a Douluo version of the Six Meridian Divine Sword.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong didn't find it strange at all. He had taught her before, but her soul power was limited; otherwise, she wouldn't have waited until the very end to use it when they were traversing the Hell Road last time.

Nan Xuan sat cross-legged beside the black soul ring and began to absorb his seventh soul ring.

An hour before nightfall, Nan Xuan finally completed the absorption.

Bibi Dong had already roasted some meat, and seeing that Nan Xuan had finished, she handed him a piece.

"Show me your Avatar of Martial Soul." Bibi Dong took a light bite of meat, looking at Nan Xuan with curious, expectant eyes.

Nan Xuan took the roasted meat Bibi Dong handed him, and seeing her expectant expression, he smiled and activated his Seventh Soul Skill, Avatar of Martial Soul.

A small black box appeared in Nan Xuan's hand. Three iron wires protruded from the top, the front of the box was rectangular with ten ports, and the top featured triangular edges. The device was entirely black, save for a few red and blue lights flickering on the front.

"Your Martial Soul, every time I see it, I find it strange. A Martial Soul like this is definitely the first of its kind in the Douluo Continent." Bibi Dong looked at the black, high-tech Wireless Router and sighed with emotion.

"I can't help it. Even if the Martial Soul is strange, as long as it's powerful, that's all that matters." Nan Xuan looked at Bibi Dong with a smug expression, a wide smile hanging on his face.

"Hmph, you're really full of yourself." Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at Nan Xuan.

Nan Xuan ignored her, picking her up and carrying her directly into the tent.

"What are you doing? You're a Support-type Soul Master, yet you dare to be this arrogant. You really don't know what it means to be ignorant and fearless." Bibi Dong's expression shifted, and she flipped Nan Xuan beneath her, an aura belonging to a superior radiating from her.

Nan Xuan looked at Bibi Dong before him, his mouth twitching. He was a Support-type Soul Master, sure, but he was still a man.

However, in the end, Nan Xuan failed to turn the tables.

The silhouettes of the two intertwined under the moonlight.

Early the next morning, the forest was still the same forest, and the trees were still the same trees, but the people were no longer the same.

Bibi Dong lay in the tent, feeling somewhat aggrieved; that guy Nan Xuan didn't know how to be gentle at all, acting just like an ox.

Lying in the tent now, she didn't want to move at all.

"Little one, even as a Support-type Soul Master, I can still handle you. Who gave you the courage?" Nan Xuan patted Bibi Dong's shapely buttocks, a bouncy sensation traveling into his hand.

"Hmph." Bibi Dong looked at Nan Xuan, feeling wronged, and let out a soft huff.

"Still going to be arrogant next time?" Nan Xuan asked Bibi Dong with a smile.

"Hehe, I want more." Bibi Dong revealed a smile, joking.

"Alright, enough messing around. You rest well first; I'll go get you something to eat, and later I'll take you to a good place." Nan Xuan looked at the mischievous Bibi Dong and shook his head with a laugh.

"Mm-hmm, Xiao Xuan is the best to me." Bibi Dong released Nan Xuan's shoulder and then struggled to shift her body.

When Nan Xuan had first entered the Sunset Forest yesterday, he had already sensed the location of the treasure land, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. However, the Poison Douluo hadn't been there at the time, but he had arrived today.

That's right, Nan Xuan wanted to wait until Dugu Bo was present before going. The reason he did this was that he didn't want to be a thief, nor did he want to claim someone else's well-protected medicinal garden as his own.

Of course, it might be his own soon enough.

After the two rested for the morning, they headed toward the treasure land. The journey was relatively safe thanks to Nan Xuan's soul skills, until they stopped in their tracks upon seeing a Poison Array perimeter.

At this moment, inside the Poison Array, an old man with ink-green hair and green eyes looked toward the location where Nan Xuan and the other were standing.

But he chose not to move. He wanted to see what the two outsiders were planning, daring to come here. If he watched them die within his Poison Array, perhaps they could serve as fertilizer for the surrounding plants.

"Xiao Xuan, we can't get into this Poison Array. I feel dizzy just getting a little bit closer." Bibi Dong stood beside Nan Xuan and asked.

"Indeed, his poison is truly formidable, but if we want to obtain those things, we must break this Poison Array." Nan Xuan replied without hesitation.

"Then what do you plan to do?" Bibi Dong looked at Nan Xuan's confident appearance and couldn't help but ask.

"That, of course, is—"

"Poison Douluo inside, listen to me! You are already deeply poisoned. If you don't want to die, get out here immediately; I might still be able to save you." Nan Xuan shouted into the Poison Array, his voice wrapped in soul power.

"This is the method you were talking about? And you clearly know he is a Title Douluo, the very Poison Douluo Dugu Bo whose poison is peerless under heaven, yet you still dare to shout like that? You really are..."

Bibi Dong looked at Nan Xuan, not knowing how to describe him. The things this guy did were sometimes truly hard to understand. Just look—was that something a normal person would shout?

Inside, Dugu Bo heard the call and immediately found it interesting. A Title Douluo who specialized in poison, and this young brat actually claimed he was poisoned—and deeply at that.

"Hmph, interesting. Then I'll ask you on what grounds you say I'm poisoned. If you can't answer, the wrath of a Title Douluo is not something he can withstand." Dugu Bo sat cross-legged on a stone slab within the Poison Array, calculating inwardly.

"Brat, I won't ask for now how you knew I was inside this Poison Array, but first tell me, how can you be so sure I'm poisoned?" Dugu Bo looked at the two figures outside the Poison Array and said expressionlessly.
