These two soul skills were simply absurdly powerful!

Calling them divine skills would not be an exaggeration, especially the spirit bone skill, Earth Power. Though for now, it did not seem as powerful as the Earth Explosive Bear's Bear Paw Blast.

But Ground-Treading Soul Infinity alone was enough to drive every Soul Master mad.

This Earth Explosive Bear truly deserved to be called a ferocious beast over two hundred thousand years old!

It was incredible!

"Hmm? That's not right!"

Putting aside who had killed the Earth Explosive Bear! Putting aside whether he had somehow landed the final blow through sheer luck.

He had been unconscious at the time!

It should have been impossible for him to absorb and refine a soul ring or spirit bone.

Then why had this ring and bone appeared on his body?

"Sacrifice!"

Yes, a sacrifice. That was the only possibility.

But why would a two-hundred-thousand-year-old ferocious beast sacrifice itself to him?

Because I'm too handsome?

That was obviously impossible!

Then why?

Mei Hu?

For some reason, Wang Sheng suddenly thought of Mei Hu.

Then all the suspicious details surrounding Mei Hu came flooding back into his mind—things he had not paid attention to before.

For example, why did Mei Hu know so much about Soul Beasts? She was only six years old. Even if she had started learning in her mother's womb, she could not possibly know so much about Soul Beasts!

She even knew about ferocious Soul Beasts like the Earth Explosive Bear.

He no longer cared about flowers or anything else. He turned and sprinted back toward where Mei Hu was.

He could no longer wait to find out what had happened. Though he already had a suspicion in his heart!

But when he arrived, only the Earth Explosive Bear's corpse remained. There was not even a trace of Mei Hu.

Wang Sheng was instantly overcome with unease!

His expression changed drastically as he frantically searched the surrounding area.

But all he found was a strip of cloth covered in bloody writing.

"Brother Sheng, my family came to find me! To keep you from getting hurt, I had no choice but to leave!"

"Also... there is something I have always hidden from you, Brother Sheng. Meier is not human... or rather, I am a Soul Beast who cultivated into human form."

"The soul ring and soul skills on your body were given to you through the Earth Explosive Bear's sacrifice."

"Its wish is for you to kill Bear Lord in the Star Dou Forest once you are strong enough. Meier hopes you will agree, because Sister Bear is Meier's best friend."

"Brother Sheng, Meier likes you, but you must never come looking for me... You must stay safe and sound!"

"Goodbye, Brother Sheng!"

After reading it, Wang Sheng felt as though he had been struck by lightning. He was completely stunned.

He muttered, "Meier is gone, Meier is gone...!"

"Meier... I do not care what you are. All I know is that you are my Meier!"

It took him a full hour before he finally recovered.

"Meier, don't worry. The Earth Explosive Bear was your friend, so he was my friend too. I will avenge him."

"But Brother Sheng will find you too. Even if I have to search the entire world, I will find you... because Brother Sheng likes you too."

Wang Sheng bowed to the Earth Explosive Bear, thanking it for its sacrifice, then slowly left this place of sorrow.

Every step Wang Sheng took felt incomparably heavy.

Because Meier had mentioned Bear Lord, yet she had not said a single word about her so-called family.

Who was Bear Lord?

He was one of the strongest kings of the Star Dou Forest, a four-hundred-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear—a ferocious beast even more terrifying than the Earth Explosive Bear.

Yet Meier had mentioned Bear Lord but not that so-called family.

That meant that in Meier's heart, he, with his Twin Martial Souls, would one day be strong enough to kill Bear Lord.

But that so-called family member was an enemy he could never defeat.

"Heavenly Emperor? Or some unknown powerful Soul Beast?"

No matter who this so-called family member was, they would die beneath my blade, Wang Sheng thought.

Strength, strength, strength. Everything was because he was not strong enough. Otherwise, Mei Hu would not have left.

So Wang Sheng did not want to waste even a second now. He would focus entirely on increasing his strength.

The first thing he needed to do was find a suitable Soul Beast. He had already reached rank thirty and could hunt another soul ring.

"Big Sister, look! That's a Venomous Fire Lizard, and it's at the ten-thousand-year level! This is great!"

A curvaceous woman pointed excitedly at a Venomous Fire Lizard that was gnawing on another Soul Beast and shrieked.

"San Feng, keep your voice down. Don't let it notice us. We'll slowly approach it!"

As the eldest sister, Da Feng was speechless. This was not San Feng's first time entering the Star Dou Forest, so why had she not corrected this habit of making a fuss?

The five of them were sisters from the same family: Da Feng, Er Feng, San Feng, Si Feng, and Wu Feng.

All of them were above average in appearance, especially their eldest sister, Da Feng, who was exceptionally beautiful.

Under Da Feng's command, the five women surrounded the Venomous Fire Lizard while it was feeding.

"Attack together! Take it down in one go!"

At Da Feng's command, everyone instantly summoned their martial souls and released their soul rings.

The eldest sister was a Five-Ring Soul King, while the other four were Three-Ring Soul Elders. For their age, their strength was quite respectable.

"Groundfall!"

"Flames!"

"Ghost Shadow Flash!"

"Sword Strike!"

"Support enhancement!"

The ten-thousand-year Venomous Fire Lizard's four limbs sank directly into the ground, leaving it unable to evade.

Then came burning flames, Ghost Shadow's repeated strikes, and fierce sword thrusts!

Under the five women's combined assault, the ten-thousand-year Venomous Fire Lizard was controlled in an instant and heavily wounded.

"Third Sister, hurry and give it the final blow!"

Third Sister did not hesitate. She walked straight up to the severely injured Venomous Fire Lizard, flames flickering in her hand.

"Ah!"

Just as third sister was about to deliver the final blow to the Venomous Fire Lizard, a flash of cold light sliced across her arm, leaving behind a bloody wound.

Third Sister stopped as a result.

At that moment, figures emerged from all around the five sisters.

There were men and women, old and young!

There were ten of them in total.

"Hehe..."

Among the ten, an extremely seductive man let out a cold laugh.

The five women reacted swiftly as well. Upon realizing they were surrounded, they immediately gathered together in a circle to guard against a sneak attack.

After seeing who had come, third sister, whose arm had been injured earlier, flew into a rage. "Huo Dong, so it was you, you dead freak!"

Hearing that, Huo Dong's expression stiffened. He hated it most when people called him that.

But he quickly returned to normal, a sinister smile appearing on his face. "San Feng, don't be in such a hurry. This time, I came for Da Feng."

After saying that, he stared fervently at the eldest sister among the five women.

Da Feng's expression darkened as she snapped, "Huo Dong, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Bosses, please recommend this story! Please recommend it! Please recommend it! Important things must be said three times!
