Shui Bing'er asked with concern.
"Did you fail to find a Soul Ring?"
Xuan Qing shook his head.
"There weren't any suitable targets for me in Sunset Forest. Wood-attribute dragon-type Soul Beasts are simply too rare."
"Tomorrow, Zi JI and I will go to Star Dou Forest. We should be able to find one there."
He paused and looked at Shui Bing'er.
"When I get back, I'll take you to the Far North. We can't put off fixing the flaw in your Martial Soul any longer. The sooner, the better."
Shui Bing'er looked at him and nodded gently. She knew Xuan Qing was doing this for her. Although he always said he wasn't a good person, he did more good than many others.
Why did Xuan Qing insist on hunting a Soul Ring instead of using a dedicated Soul Ring?
Because he didn't know how many dedicated Soul Rings he had. What if they stopped being rewards in later trials? He needed to conserve them whenever possible.
The best place for this Soul Ring was the Seventh Soul Ring. After all, the older the Soul Ring, the stronger the Martial Soul Avatar.
If he used a dedicated Soul Ring for his Seventh Soul Ring, he'd get a god-level Martial Soul Avatar right away. Its combat power would surely be terrifying.
He still didn't know what the Seed of Dimensions awarded by the Qilin God Trial was. What if a later trial really did send him through time?
If he ended up in a parallel world or thousands of years in the future without enough strength, things could get really interesting.
So he had to raise his strength as quickly as possible. Soul Rings were vital, and his fourth Soul Ring had to be high quality. He couldn't let it hold
