Encountering Tang Ya

Mu En pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "The reason I was able to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul beast for my fourth soul ring was entirely due to the head soul bone I obtained at the time. Although your spiritual power is strong, to be safe, it is better to wait until your fourth soul ring to attempt it!"

Hearing Mu En's words, Bei Bei nodded and asked, "Is there a soul beast here suitable for me?"

"There is one with an age of approximately nine thousand nine hundred years." As Mu En spoke, he released his soul power, controlled a White Armored Earth Dragon, and pulled it in front of the three of them.

"It's actually light-attributed; this must be a mutated White Armored Earth Dragon!" Zhang Lexuan noticed that this White Armored Earth Dragon was somewhat different.

"Correct, I sensed its uniqueness earlier. Its bloodline has regressed to an ancestral state, almost reaching the level of a True Dragon. It is no longer a White Armored Earth Dragon, but can be called a White Armored Holy Dragon," Mu En said.

Bei Bei also noticed the unusual nature of this soul beast: ordinary White Armored Earth Dragons looked like golden, four-legged lizards, but this one had a pair of wings on its back and its entire body radiated pure light energy.

"Then I'll choose this one." Bei Bei was overjoyed. The age was appropriate, the attribute was a match, and the bloodline had mutated to approach the True Dragon level, making it perfect as his third soul ring.

Golden lightning swirled around Bei Bei's arm, and a Lightning Dragon Claw landed on the scales of the White Armored Holy Dragon, though it did not cause significant damage.

"This defensive power is truly strong." Bei Bei began to search for its weak points to attack before finally killing it completely.

A deep purple soul ring, faintly shimmering with black light, slowly emerged.

Bei Bei sat cross-legged to the side and began to absorb and refine it.

Several hours later, everything went smoothly, and no accidents occurred.

Bei Bei slowly opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and felt that Elder Mu was indeed reliable.

He stood up slowly, and three purple soul rings flickered and pulsed around him.

This soul ring brought him a direct increase of three levels of soul power, and he had now reached the level of a thirty-third-rank Soul Elder.

"Bei Bei, how is your third soul skill?" Zhang Lexuan asked impatiently.

The third soul ring at Bei Bei's feet flashed, and three golden phantom dragon shields formed around him, circling his body.

"This is my third soul skill, named Bright Dragon's Blessing!" Bei Bei introduced, "This soul skill can withstand even the attacks of a Titled Douluo, but for every successful block, one shield disappears. It can even defend against intangible spiritual attacks. Furthermore, every time I obtain a new soul ring, I will gain an additional shield."

Bei Bei continued, "Although it appears as a shield, it is an omnidirectional defense. The drawback is that even the weakest attack will automatically trigger a defense and consume a shield as long as it is fueled by malice. Of course, as long as I don't reveal it, no one will know."

"It's similar to an Invincible Golden Body soul skill!" Mu En nodded. With this defensive soul skill, even a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse would find it difficult to harm Bei Bei in a short time, provided they did not discover the flaw in this skill.

The three of them rested briefly and continued to venture deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

After a few days of effort, they successfully found a soul beast suitable for Zhang Lexuan's seventh soul ring, with an age of around eighty thousand years.

With Elder Mu present, there was a full sense of security, and that eighty-thousand-year soul beast could not stir up any trouble.

Even if the Beast God Di Tian were to attack suddenly, Mu En would be able to take them away safely.

Zhang Lexuan successfully hunted this soul beast and refined it into her seventh soul ring.

After the soul hunting concluded, the group was taken out of the Star Dou Great Forest by Elder Mu, who spent a day delivering them to Heaven Dou City before his figure vanished.

After reuniting with Elder Xuan, this year's Soul Master Tournament officially began.

The results of the competition held no suspense. Led by Zhang Lexuan, who possessed the cultivation of a Soul Saint, Shrek Academy was unstoppable and achieved a winning streak.

If nothing unexpected happened, the championship of this year would once again be claimed by Shrek Academy.

Since they were out on a rare trip, Bei Bei naturally wanted to look around.

The former Heaven Dou Empire had split due to war, forming the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Heaven Empire respectively.

Heaven Dou City, which possessed a history of ten thousand years, had become the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The area of Heaven Dou City far exceeded that of Shrek City; it was, after all, a city that had existed for ten thousand years.

As the capital of an empire, with a population of ten million, its prestige was naturally not lacking.

Bei Bei was strolling through the bustling and lively streets.

Suddenly, he heard the angry shout of a little girl not far away: "Nonsense, the hidden weapons of my Tang Sect are the most powerful!"

"Haha, a broken sect that declined thousands of years ago, and you have the nerve to mention it." A rough voice immediately followed, filled with disdain and mockery, "In my opinion, you should just disband your Tang Sect as soon as possible!"

When Bei Bei heard the voice, it instantly caught his attention: Tang Sect! Hidden weapons!

He guessed in his heart, could it be that little girl Tang Ya?

If he remembered correctly, the base of the Tang Sect was located in Heaven Dou City.

Seeing this, he turned and walked in the direction of the sound.

After Bei Bei turned a corner, he indeed saw a mansion ahead, with the two characters "Tang Sect" written prominently on the plaque above the gate.

At the entrance, a little girl was confronting several burly men.

The little girl looked to be about nine years old, with a round, cute face and long black hair tied into a ponytail hanging behind her.

Although she was still young, one could already foresee that she would surely be a graceful beauty when she grew up.

It really was the Tang Sect, and that little girl must be Tang Ya! Bei Bei remembered that it wouldn't be long before the Tang Sect would be wiped out by the Iron Blood Sect.

"Tie Tang, you are delusional. Our Tang Sect will absolutely not sell our foundation to you," Tang Ya retorted angrily.

"Have you ever seen a sect without a single disciple! Why must the three of you occupy such a good place?" Tie Tang laughed mockingly, "Today, if you are sensible, hand over the Tang Sect's territory, and our Iron Blood Sect can still leave you a way to survive. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."

As he spoke, Tie Tang signaled the disciples of the Iron Blood Sect behind him to prepare to move, intending to force their way in.

"Let's see who dares to take a step forward." A yellow soul ring rose at Tang Ya's feet, and strands of Blue Silver Grass began to spread from beneath her.

Between her fingertips, several silver needle-like hidden weapons were faintly tucked away, poised and ready to strike.

"You dare bring out that trashy hidden weapon of yours to embarrass yourself?" Tie Tang continued to clamor, looking completely unbothered and arrogant.

The disciples of the Iron Blood Sect behind him erupted into jeering laughter.

"Soul Tools are the mainstream now," Tie Tang said, taking out a Level 3 defensive Soul Tool and equipping it on his body.

"Tang Sect hidden weapons are the most powerful!" Tang Ya retorted loudly, her fingertips twitching as several steel needle-like hidden weapons shot toward Tie Tang.
