Finally Obtain the Third Soul Ring

"By the time I broke through, the great war had already begun!"

Even Yan, who usually possessed a carefree personality, felt his spirits sink when mentioning this.

He could have smoothly become a Soul Douluo, then strived to become a Title Douluo and an elder of Martial Soul Hall.

But everything, absolutely everything, had ceased to exist in the wake of that great war.

As soon as Yan spoke these words, the atmosphere on the scene fell into a deathly silence.

Clearly, for all of them, they had yet to grow accustomed to such a disparity.

Fortunately, they adjusted themselves quickly.

It was Qian Yu who gave them hope once again.

"Give that head spirit bone to Yan first; I will find a way to locate a spirit bone with more compatible attributes for Xie Yue later."

"Then, have him consume the ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber to strengthen his physique, so he can obtain an eighth spirit ring of the highest possible age."

The head spirit bone Qian Yu spoke of was the one he had obtained from the fifty-thousand-year Holy Golden Beetle when he absorbed his second spirit ring.

According to the rules of spirit hunting, since Hu Liena had helped him hunt the spirit, that spirit bone should have belonged to her.

Qian Yu also knew that Hu Liena had prepared it for her brother, but that spirit bone was not compatible with Xie Yue's attributes.

That was why he made his proposal.

"Alright!"

Hu Liena did not refuse.

The reason she had delayed giving it to her brother was precisely because this spirit bone was more suitable for Yan, yet she had been reluctant to give it to him directly.

Now that Qian Yu had brought it up, she made her decision.

Immediately, Hu Liena took the fifty-thousand-year head spirit bone out of her storage Soul Tool.

As soon as the spirit bone appeared, even the eyes of the two Title Douluo burned with intensity.

One had to know that although both of them were already Title Douluo, they still lacked spirit bones that were compatible with their own.

How could they not be covetous?

"Rest assured, two seniors; the spirit bones you need are also being prepared. Once your injuries have recovered, we shall plan for them slowly."

Qian Yu naturally knew the temptation this spirit bone held for them.

But truthfully, he was truly reluctant to give this spirit bone to the two of them.

Although they were Title Douluo, their potential was limited.

Yan's martial soul was very powerful; if he could obtain a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring in the future, his achievements would surely be astonishing.

As for where to obtain a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, that was a matter for another day.

"I have not yet reached the point of being shameless enough to snatch a spirit bone from a junior."

Seeing this, Snake Lance Douluo gave a sheepish smile.

He knew that they were all that remained of Martial Soul Hall, and it was best to remain united rather than allow a disagreement to arise over a single spirit bone.

Moreover, he vaguely felt that this kid could truly help him obtain a spirit bone.

"This... is it really for me..."

Seeing the spirit bone before him, Yan did not dare to reach out and take it for a moment.

Most importantly, this spirit bone had been prepared by Hu Liena for Xie Yue.

"Yan, accept it. There is no need for us to say so much between us."

Instead, it was Xie Yue who took the initiative to tell Yan to accept it.

Everything now was focused on increasing their strength.

"Many thanks!"

Yan accepted the spirit bone and thanked everyone.

Afterward, he went into seclusion to fuse with the spirit bone.

He indeed loved Hu Liena very much; this was beyond doubt.

But Yan knew even more clearly that without absolute power, he could never protect his beloved.

Therefore, he had always persisted in his cultivation without fail.

It was so in the past, and in the current situation, he had to work even harder to cultivate and improve his own strength.

Subsequently, Hu Liena guided Xie Yue and the others to consume the Whale Rubber.

Even for Title Douluo like Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, the ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber had significant effects, but because their injuries had not yet recovered, they did not consume the Whale Rubber immediately.

It was because of this matter that Qian Yu learned that Porcupinefish Douluo actually possessed remarkable achievements in the study of medical science, pharmacology, and potent poisons.

Although he could not compare to those renowned figures, he could still be called a master.

Therefore, for the period that followed, in addition to his daily cultivation, Qian Yu added another learning task: consulting with Porcupinefish Douluo on knowledge regarding pharmacology and the like.

During this process, Qian Yu also passed on the Tang Sect heritage he had obtained from Jixiang to Porcupinefish Douluo.

It must be said, this was a great help to them.

It accelerated the recovery of their injuries.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

Yan not only absorbed the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone but also consumed two pieces of Whale Rubber, greatly enhancing both his physique and spiritual power.

During this process, Xie Yue also took the opportunity to break through to level 75.

As for Qian Yu, aside from the increase in his soul power and the study of pharmacology, he spent most of his time cultivating the Flame God Eye.

Regarding the conversion of the Mysterious Jade Hand into a body-refining technique, he had not yet begun research; on one hand, the information was insufficient, and on the other, his energy was limited.

A person's energy is finite, so it is best to be clear about what should be done and when.

He certainly did not want to become a negative example like Feng Xiaotian.

The group prepared themselves and headed to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for soul rings.

Qian Yu's goal was very simple.

It was still the Holy Golden Beetle.

On the other hand, Yan's soul ring required careful selection.

According to Yu Xiaogang's soul ring age theory, a soul master's eighth soul ring is best at around fifty thousand years. Qian Yu naturally did not believe this, but it could serve as a reference standard.

Yan's martial soul is the top-tier Flame Lord, and coupled with the fact that he possesses two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, his quality and potential are quite extraordinary, not to mention he has also consumed Whale Rubber.

According to Porcupinefish Douluo's estimation, he could conservatively absorb a sixty-thousand-year eighth soul ring, but if they encountered a suitable soul beast, they could attempt to challenge a seventy-thousand-year one.

As for soul rings of higher age, it was not recommended.

Yan decided to challenge a seventy-thousand-year soul ring. He knew this would trouble the two seniors, Snake Lance and Porcupinefish Douluo, so he kept speaking kindly to them.

In the current situation, the two naturally did their best to help Yan find the most suitable soul ring.

If Yan could become a Title Douluo, they would gain another point of combat power.

The primary target was naturally the Holy Golden Beetle.

They settled Qian Yu in a valley and the group joined forces to hunt for the soul ring.

During this process, Qian Yu did not remain idle but instead surveyed the valley.

The location was very remote and hidden, and the terrain was of the sunken variety, so even if one flew over from above, it would not be easily discovered.

If it were renovated, it could perfectly serve as a hideout.

Qian Yu decided to discuss this matter once they returned.

The reason why the two great empires and various forces had not carried out large-scale purges against them at present was that all parties were currently annexing the legacy of Martial Soul Hall.

Once they finished the annexation, they would begin to clear them out and hunt them down.

Naturally, they had to be fully prepared.

Soon, the group brought back the target for Qian Yu's third soul ring.

A seventy-thousand-year Holy Golden Beetle.
