Preparations Before Soul Hunting

"Cough."

Feng Xiaoyuan gave a light cough, drawing everyone's attention.

"Now that everyone has broken through, the next step is obtaining spirit rings."

Everyone turned to look at Feng Xiaoyuan.

Huo Wushuang spoke up.

"Captain."

"How will you arrange those of us who don't need to obtain spirit rings?"

Feng Xiaoyuan answered seriously.

"We're a team, so of course we'll go together."

"It'll also be a good chance to test the results of our training during this time."

"Now, let me first analyze what kind of spirit beasts would suit each of you."

He then looked at Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong."

Ning Rongrong immediately straightened up at his words.

"I'm here."

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded.

"Although your Martial Soul has evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda."

"Based on your Martial Soul's characteristics, it should still be similar to the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda."

"Generally, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's second spirit skill is a speed-enhancing skill."

"So I suggest that your second spirit ring come from a speed-type spirit beast."

"For example, Wind Spirit Cats or Chasewind Sparrows."

"Since we aren't sure whether evolving into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda will change your spirit skill's effects."

"This would be the safest choice."

Ning Rongrong watched Feng Xiaoyuan speak with such confidence, her face full of admiration.

"Alright."

"Feng Xiaoyuan."

"I'll listen to you."

Feng Xiaoyuan then looked at Dugu Yan.

"Sister Yanyan."

Dugu Yan nodded, looking seriously at Feng Xiaoyuan as she waited for him to continue.

"Your Martial Soul is somewhat special."

"Your Martial Soul evolved from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent into the Jade Phosphorus Dragon."

"Your Martial Soul possesses both poison and dragon attributes, with the poison attribute being the more dominant of the two."

"My suggestion is that you increase the concentration of your dragon attribute."

"Compared to the poison attribute, I believe the dragon attribute holds greater potential."

"So when we search for spirit beasts this time, dragon-attributed spirit beasts should be the priority, followed by poison-attributed ones."

"If we encounter a spirit beast that possesses both poison and dragon attributes, that would be even better."

Dugu Yan nodded thoughtfully.

"You mean I should focus on improving my dragon attribute and abandon cultivating my poison attribute?"

Feng Xiaoyuan shook his head after hearing that.

"No."

"What I mean is that your Martial Soul should possess both the domineering nature of the dragon attribute and the unpredictability of the poison attribute in the future."

"Let the two attributes achieve a strange balance within your Martial Soul."

"That might make you far stronger than if you cultivated only a single attribute."

After hearing Feng Xiaoyuan's explanation, a glimmer of anticipation flashed through Dugu Yan's eyes.

Feng Xiaoyuan turned to Lei Jie.

"Lei Jie."

Lei Jie immediately straightened his back.

"Captain."

Feng Xiaoyuan continued.

"Your Martial Soul is pure lightning element."

"That is both your advantage and your core."

Lei Jie listened attentively as Feng Xiaoyuan continued.

"Therefore, your choice of soul rings is actually the simplest."

"Lightning is inherently an element with extremely strong destructive power."

"So you do not need to consider other attributes. You only need to continuously strengthen your lightning attribute."

"Seek out lightning-attributed soul beasts and absorb lightning-attributed soul rings."

"Continuously increase the purity of your lightning element."

Lei Jie nodded.

Feng Xiaoyuan continued.

"As everyone knows, the place on the continent with the most lightning-attributed soul beasts is Thunderclap Gorge."

Lei Jie was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

"Thunderclap Gorge."

"Isn't that the private territory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

"Outsiders cannot enter at all."

Feng Xiaoyuan gave a mysterious smile.

"That's right."

"But I have my own way of bringing you inside to hunt soul beasts."

At last, Feng Xiaoyuan looked at Shui Yue'er.

"Yue'er."

"Your Martial Soul is the Lustrous Jade Dolphin."

"Your Martial Soul leans toward water and ice attributes."

"But within the inland regions of the Star Dou Great Forest, there are too few soul beasts suitable for you."

"So we either go out to sea and look for a sea soul beast, or head to the Extreme North and choose an ice-attributed soul beast."

At those words, Shui Bing'er froze for a moment before murmuring softly.

"Out to sea."

"The Extreme North."

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded.

"That's right."

"Most sea soul beasts possess the water attribute."

"The Extreme North is home to the majority of ice-attributed soul beasts."

Shui Yue'er hurriedly waved her hands.

"Captain."

"That won't be necessary, right?"

"There's no need to travel so far just for my soul ring. It's too troublesome."

"Can't we just find a suitable one somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Feng Xiaoyuan shook his head with a serious expression.

"No."

"How can you casually absorb just any soul ring?"

"If you absorb a soul ring that does not suit you—"

"You may not see any problems in the short term, but your potential will definitely be limited in the future."

"Besides, you and your sister possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"You do not want to hold her back just because you casually absorbed a soul ring, do you?"

"And we are a team. How can you talk about whether something is troublesome or not?"

"We'll pass through Thunderclap Gorge on the way to the Extreme North anyway. It isn't troublesome at all."

Feng Xiaoyuan looked back at everyone and spoke slowly.

"We are a team. Do not talk about whether something is troublesome or not ever again."

"You must remember that soul rings are extremely important to a soul master."

"First, you must consider the characteristics of the Martial Soul and the soul master's development path. They must be compatible."

"Only then should you consider the choice of age."

"A soul ring from the same year range."

"Choosing a soul ring that suits you is several times better than picking one at random."

Everyone fell into thought.

After giving them time to digest this, Feng Xiaoyuan continued.

"Alright."

"Go back and prepare today."

"Tomorrow, we'll head to the Star Dou Great Forest together and begin hunting soul beasts."

At the same time.

Feng Xiaoyuan had long since informed Feng Yan that they would be heading to Thunderclap Gorge to hunt soul beasts.

Thus, Feng Yan left the Feng Clan and headed for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's council hall.

Yu Yuanzhen sat in the seat of honor.

Seeing Feng Yan enter the hall, he could not help but smile.

"Brother Feng."

"What wind has blown you here?"

"That Soul Tool from some time ago truly shocked us all."

Feng Yan laughed heartily and took the seat Yu Yuanzhen had prepared for him.

"Hahaha."

"Brother Yu."

"You flatter me."

"I came today to ask a favor."

Yu Yuanzhen said with a smile.

"Brother Feng, you are too polite."

"Please, speak freely."

Feng Yan slowly spoke.

"There is a disciple at my Godwind Academy."

"His Martial Soul is pure lightning element, and he now needs to obtain his third soul ring."

"I hope Brother Yu can make an exception."

"In a few days, allow them to enter Thunderclap Gorge and hunt a suitable lightning-attribute soul beast."

Yu Yuanzhen fell silent upon hearing this.

Thunderclap Gorge had always been an important soul-hunting ground for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Outsiders were generally never permitted to enter.

Rather than refusing outright, he smiled.

"Brother Feng."

"It seems this disciple's talent is quite exceptional."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Feng Yan's lips.

"You'll find out later."

"If our Feng Clan develops any new Soul Tools, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will have priority in purchasing them."

Yu Yuanzhen's eyes lit up at once, and he burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha."

"Good."

"Since Brother Feng has personally asked, I naturally have to give you this favor."

"When the time comes, just let them go straight in. I'll notify the people below."

Feng Yan rose and cupped his fists.

"Many thanks, Brother Yu."
