Seeing this, Qian Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of what happened along the way or what thoughts the people present harbored, at the very least, after experiencing this event, their resolve would be much firmer.
A 73,000-year spirit ring was somewhat taxing for Yan, but fortunately, he possessed a spirit bone and had consumed ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber, allowing his body to endure the strain.
The problem lay in his mental power.
Fortunately, he had fused with that Holy Golden Beetle head spirit bone.
It was difficult, but still manageable with sheer willpower.
It was merely a matter of spending a bit more time.
Two days later, Yan successfully absorbed the spirit ring.
He had officially become a Spirit Douluo.
Immediately after obtaining the spirit ring, he was already a peak level 83 Spirit Douluo; he only needed to cultivate for a while longer to stabilize his spirit power before he could naturally break through to level 84.
This was due to the contribution of that head spirit bone, the age of the spirit ring, and the fact that he had previously broken through but had not obtained a spirit ring for over half a year of cultivation.
"Holy crap, is my luck really that good?"
"I even got a torso bone!"
After waking up and seeing the spirit bone placed before him, Yan immediately shouted in excitement.
"Yan, it's time for us to go back!"
Seeing Yan's lack of composure, Xie Yue spoke up to remind him.
Yan might not realize it, but he was well aware that just because of this 70,000-year torso bone, they had just walked a thin line between life and death.
Having obtained a treasure, instead of putting it away quickly, he was showing it off everywhere.
That was purely a death-seeking move.
Hearing Xie Yue's reminder, Yan realized his mistake and hurriedly stored it away in his Soul Tool.
He planned to absorb it after breaking through to level 84 in a while.
The spirit hunting mission was a complete success. The group did not return to the small mountain village from before, but instead followed Qian Yu's suggestion to settle in a small valley within the Star Dou Great Forest.
As for the spirit beasts there, they posed no significant threat, and with the repellent powders prepared by Porcupinefish Douluo, it was not difficult to live in seclusion.
Except for Hu Liena, everyone else was diligently cultivating. As for Hu Liena, she went to execute the mission Qian Yu had assigned her.
A month later, Hu Liena returned, bringing the required intelligence.
"Twenty days from now, Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan will head to the opening ceremony of Shrek Academy. During this period, he is busy with the clan's relocation to the Tang Sect, constantly running between Heaven Dou City and the Star Luo Empire. There are many opportunities to strike, but it is difficult to find a time when he is alone."
"While dealing with Yang Wudi, we also have to handle a Spirit Saint from the Breaking Clan."
Hu Liena detailed all the intelligence she had gathered and then turned her gaze toward Qian Yu.
Qian Yu looked toward Snake Lance Douluo.
Being defeated by Yang Wudi, a Spirit Douluo, was a great humiliation for him.
Even if there were various circumstances at the time, with external forces and assistance, a defeat was still a defeat.
Outsiders would not listen to his excuses.
They preferred the story of a Spirit Douluo defeating a Title Douluo.
"I will take Yang Wudi's life this time!"
Even though he still had his own injuries, Snake Lance Douluo's eyes were filled with determination.
Clearly, he wanted to wash away this humiliation with his own hands at any cost.
"I will wait here for your good news!"
Qian Yu knew that no one could change the mind of Snake Lance Douluo in this state.
That was fine, too.
When Snake Lance Douluo washed away this humiliation with his own hands and recovered from his injuries, perhaps there would be hope for further progress.
As for Snake Lance Douluo's injuries, there was no need to worry too much.
Through the harmonization of Mysterious Heaven Skill, combined with the medicinal assistance of Porcupinefish Douluo and the fusion of a ten-thousand-year head spirit bone, Snake Lance Douluo in this state could initially exert the strength of a Title Douluo.
Yang Wudi's Soul-Breaking Spear was indeed sharp, but the two times he defeated Snake Lance Douluo, it was with the assistance of others.
Without the help of others, could Yang Wudi defeat Snake Lance Douluo again?
Qian Yu was also very curious about the answer.
Subsequently, Snake Lance Douluo, Porcupinefish Douluo, and Hu Liena set off to ambush the Breaking Clan's patriarch, Yang Wudi.
Qian Yu was not idle either; in addition to cultivating his spirit power and mental power, he had recently been experimenting with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
Indeed, at first, Qian Yu did not take the so-called Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to heart, but after studying it, he realized that this technique was perfectly suited for those who possessed the Six-Winged Angel martial soul.
The Six-Winged Angel martial soul was a well-rounded fighter, but it actually leaned more toward speed and agility.
It already possessed perfect stats, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track would add extreme maneuverability on top of those stats, allowing it to perform at 120% of its potential.
Time passes unnoticed in the mountains.
Unknowingly, half a month had slipped by.
During these two weeks, Qian Yu had gained a preliminary grasp of the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
His soul power had even increased by one level following the fusion of his External Soul Bone.
He had reached level 38.
He was confident that he could reach the realm of a level 40 Soul Ancestor within four months.
Such was the talent of having level 20 Innate Soul Power.
Now, he had to worry about finding a soul ring again.
Snake Lance Douluo had returned.
He was being carried back by Porcupinefish Douluo.
Qian Yu was quite surprised by this; after all, with their lineup, it would be absurd if they couldn't handle a mere Yang Wudi.
"She Long wanted a fair, one-on-one duel with Yang Wudi."
Seeing the confusion in Qian Yu's eyes, Porcupinefish Douluo provided an explanation.
Evidently, he had refused help from the others and relied solely on his own strength to defeat Yang Wudi.
The price for this was a much more severe injury.
The kind that left him in a coma.
"Did you bring back the things I needed?"
Qian Yu knew that the most important thing right now was to treat Snake Lance Douluo's injuries.
He turned to ask Hu Liena, who was standing to the side.
"What exactly is on Yang Wudi that made you list him as the primary target for the hunt?"
As Hu Liena spoke, she handed the storage Soul Tool she had taken from Yang Wudi to Qian Yu.
She knew that Qian Yu possessed an omniscient ability, which only made her more curious.
After obtaining Yang Wudi's Soul Tool, she had taken a rough look inside and hadn't found anything particularly precious.
"Luck is on my side; it's actually here."
Qian Yu did not answer Hu Liena's question immediately, instead burying his head in Yang Wudi's Soul Tool to search for the items he required.
Soon, two objects appeared in his hands.
One was a thick book recording the refining methods for various deadly poisons and the properties of numerous rare herbs.
As for the other item, it was a large flower.
Its entire body was emerald green, emitting a strange, aromatic scent.
It was none other than the Aromatic Silk Beauty!
