An Extraordinary Lineup, Everyone Stunned

An Extraordinary Lineup, Everyone Stunned

Soul Hunting Forest was a place where Spirit Hall raised Soul Beasts in captivity. There was essentially one in every city, after all, Spirit Hall had always acted under the banner of maintaining peace across the continent.

After so many years of development, the varieties within the Soul Hunting Forest had grown increasingly abundant, and the beasts' ages had risen as well. However, it was still worlds apart from the Star Dou Forest.

Still, finding suitable fifth Soul Rings for Li Jianguo's Dragon Pattern Staff and Su Lan's Martial Soul was entirely possible.

The carriage stopped at the entrance, and Flender took out a Soul Saint badge registered with Spirit Hall for the guards to inspect.

After the inspection passed, the guards opened the gates with respectful expressions.

In this era, a Soul Saint carried tremendous weight.

After all, this was the third-highest major realm on the continent!

In an age when Title Douluo were exceedingly rare, neither Title Douluo nor Soul Douluo would casually appear outside. Soul Saints were therefore the strongest group most commonly seen traveling abroad, and no one wished to offend them.

Even if a Soul Saint had no major force supporting him, if pushed too far, he only needed to lower his head and choose any major power to join. Once he had backing, dealing with you would be all too easy!

The group entered the Soul Hunting Forest.

Although Ma Hongjun had not yet reached level ten, he had come along mainly to broaden his horizons.

After wandering through the outer region for the time it took to burn an incense stick, they soon found a three-hundred-year Soul Beast suitable for Oscar's first Soul Ring.

Not just anyone could absorb excessively high-level Soul Rings. For Soul Masters with ordinary configurations, their first Soul Ring generally fell within the one-hundred- to four-hundred-year range.

A three-hundred-year Soul Beast was already considered exceptionally good for Oscar.

Once the beast was killed, Oscar began absorbing it. The first time one absorbed a Soul Ring took a very long time; it could even take an entire day.

However, Oscar did not disappoint. He finished absorbing it in less than half a day.

Oscar said excitedly, "I've finally become a Soul Master!"

"Next, we'll be hunting ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts. Shao Xin, leave behind some candy beans, then take Ma Hongjun and Oscar outside to wait," Flender said to Shao Xin, the food-system Soul Master, after considering the danger of hunting ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts.

After all, they were not far from the exit, and the beasts along the way were all quite young. Although Shao Xin was a food-system Soul Master, the aura of a Soul Emperor was more than enough to handle them.

"Alright. You all be careful."

"Is Brother Fei not leaving with us?"

Oscar asked.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar had already acknowledged Li Fei as their big brother.

After all, he had entered the academy before them, and his Soul Power was the highest among them.

Level twenty at six years old—it was terrifying!

"Li Fei's situation is rather special. He doesn't need to leave," Flender said, shaking his head.

"Alright, let's head out."

Shao Xin made a large handful of candy beans for Flender and the others to carry before leaving.

Li Fei looked at the candy beans thoughtfully. Candy beans that did not disappear after leaving the body...

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Uncle Flender, how long can Uncle Shao Xin's candy beans retain their effects after leaving his body?"

"I heard they can last five days." Flender froze for a moment. "Li Fei, why are you asking? Are you worried we won't find one within five days?"

Li Fei shook his head. "No. In that case, have you ever tried selling these candy beans outside? Or putting them up for auction?"

"No. You mean..." Flender seemed to understand what Li Fei was getting at, and he immediately grew excited.

"These are food-system candy beans made by a Soul Emperor. Food-system Soul Emperors are rare to begin with. If these are put up for auction, they'll definitely be in high demand and fetch an extremely high price!"

"Even if they only last five days, it won't matter."

Li Fei said.

"That's right! We never thought of that before!"

"Li Fei, it has to be you. You really do have a head for business. I've been sitting on a mountain of gold without even realizing it!"

"If I'd thought of this earlier, I wouldn't have been so poor!"

"My heavens, what kind of hard, impoverished life had we been living all these years?"

Flender's eyes lit up, and he wholeheartedly agreed with Li Fei's suggestion.

The others felt the same after hearing it.

"Looks like Shao Xin is going to suffer from now on," Lu Qibin muttered.

With a new way to make money, everyone was even more motivated as they continued deeper into the forest.

Achoo!

After leaving the Soul Hunting Forest, Shao Xin sneezed.

"Strange. I'm a Soul Emperor. How could I possibly sneeze?"

Shao Xin muttered.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a chill down his back.

"Teacher Shao, where are we going next?" Oscar asked.

"Of course we're returning to Shrek Academy. They may be in there for quite some time this round. Ma Hongjun, you need to train hard and break through to level ten quickly so you can become a Soul Master too," Shao Xin said.

"Mm, I understand, Teacher Shao." Ma Hongjun nodded. Seeing Oscar obtain his Soul Ring had made his heart itch with anticipation, further igniting his desire to become stronger.

Among the academy's three students, he was now the only one who was not a Soul Master.

It was somewhat embarrassing, not to mention that he was at precisely the age when he loved competing with others.

Thus, the three of them returned to Shrek Academy first.

A day passed just like that.

Boom!

Boom!

In the depths of the Soul Hunting Forest, a team was currently battling a ten-thousand-year Earth Dragon Soul Beast.

Under the group's combined assault, it was soon on its last breath.

"Jianguo, finish it quickly. Absorb the Soul Ring and become a Soul King!" Li Yusong said.

The Earth Dragon was already lying on the ground, extremely weak and barely clinging to life.

"Yes, Father!"

Li Jianguo nodded, unleashed his fourth soul skill, and rushed forward. He delivered a heavy blow to the Earth Dragon's head, completely ending its life!

Buzz!

A black Soul Ring appeared.

Seeing that Soul Ring, Li Fei grew somewhat excited. "Soon, I'll be absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring too!"

Damn, that would be incredibly impressive!

Li Jianguo quickly sat cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring into his body.

An hour soon passed. As the strange swelling and feverish condition in his body gradually subsided, it signified that he had overcome the danger and successfully absorbed it!

Buzz!

The next second.

A black Soul Ring appeared around his body.

Immediately afterward, the four Soul Rings beneath it emerged as well.

They were the most standard configuration: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black.

"So this is a Soul King. It really is powerful!"

Li Jianguo was overjoyed.

The Li Family now had two Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor. Their standing in Suotuo City had risen dramatically.

In the future, the Li Family's strength and wealth would both continue to grow!

"Now that you have both absorbed your fifth Soul Rings, we'll look for Li Fei's second Soul Ring next."

"Li Fei, how many years do you want your second Soul Ring to be?"

Flender asked.

Half a day earlier, they had already defeated another ten-thousand-year Soul Beast and let Su Lan absorb its Soul Ring.

Thus, Su Lan had become a Soul King even earlier than Li Jianguo.

The lineup they had here was truly extraordinary.

Two Soul Saints, two Soul Emperors, and two Soul Kings.

Even ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts would turn and flee rather than dare provoke them.

"I want a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast related to the dragon attribute for my second Soul Ring." Li Fei's words made everyone present widen their eyes.

"What!?"

"You want to absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast as your second Soul Ring!?"
