Ye Lingling fell silent for a moment, then said, "In that case, I'll fuse my seventh Soul Ring first as well."
Then she looked at Lu Qiufeng beside her. "When the time comes, if we go in together, we should have a chance of helping you obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year seventh Soul Ring."
However, Lu Qiufeng rejected both of their ideas without a second thought. "Have you forgotten? My Autumn Edge can increase the age of my Soul Rings by devouring life force. So the first Soul Saint among the three of us should be me. In terms of actual combat strength, I'm no weaker than you, Mu Jing, and my attack power is even higher. Once I have my Martial Soul Avatar, paired with your control, I can deal greater damage to any Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast we might encounter. No matter how you look at it, I'm more suitable than either of you. Just as Stall Owner Tang once said, the age of a Soul Ring isn't a problem for me."
Mu Jing said nothing.
Ye Lingling still insisted, "I should obtain my seventh Soul Ring while we're at it. I'm only an auxiliary Soul Master. My physical condition can't compare to battle Soul Masters like you. Absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring as my seventh one... the burden would really be too great for me. I definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it."
Mu Jing still offered no opinion.
So Lu Qiufeng said, "All right, then. We'll start moving sideways now and find Soul Beasts suitable for Lingling and me. After we break through to Soul Saint, we'll continue deeper into the Evil Demon Forest."
Only then did Mu Jing nod, taking the lead as she moved.
Ye Lingling followed behind her, with Lu Qiufeng bringing up the rear.
