Five days later.
On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The silver-white Soul Guidance Airship slowly descended.
Feng Xiaoyuan stood beside the bed, looking at the lush forest before him, and nodded lightly.
"We're here."
As Feng Xiaoyuan's words fell, the other members of the Elemental Team jumped off the airship.
This was their first time traveling such a long distance aboard a Soul Guidance Airship.
Even after five days, everyone still found it somewhat unbelievable.
Huo Wushuang could not help but glance back.
"Captain."
"Will we be taking this whenever we travel in the future?"
Feng Xiaoyuan smiled and nodded.
"Of course."
"Look, it only took us five days to reach the Star Dou Great Forest by Soul Guidance Airship."
"If we had traveled here by ourselves in the past, it would have taken at least a month."
"Soul Tools are made to serve people. What would be the point of making them and not using them?"
The others nodded thoughtfully after hearing that.
Feng Xiaoyuan waved his hand.
The entire Soul Guidance Airship rapidly shrank, returning to the size of a palm.
He then stored it inside a Storage Soul Guidance Device.
"Alright."
"Next, we need to find some soul beasts."
As Feng Xiaoyuan finished speaking, Feng Yan concealed his figure.
He kept a certain distance from the Elemental Team at all times.
He would neither interfere with them nor fail to ensure their safety at the first opportunity.
The moment they entered the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The members of the Elemental Team immediately heightened their vigilance.
Lei Jie walked at the front.
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang stood to the left and right.
Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er stood in the middle.
Dugu Yan and Feng Xiaoyuan brought up the rear.
It was clearly a fully formed formation.
Watching this from afar, Feng Yan could not help nodding in satisfaction.
The past few months of training had not been wasted after all.
Less than half an hour after the group began advancing.
A deep beastly roar suddenly rang out from the forest.
Immediately afterward, a green figure shot out of the woods.
It was incredibly fast, leaving behind almost nothing but an afterimage.
Feng Xiaoyuan's eyes lit up.
"Not bad luck."
"We found a soul beast suitable for Rongrong as soon as we came in."
Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
"What soul beast?"
Feng Xiaoyuan watched the green figure darting continuously through the trees and slowly said.
"A Wind Leopard."
"It looks like it's just over a thousand years old."
"It suits you quite well."
"Rongrong."
Ning Rongrong's eyes immediately lit up.
"Really?"
Feng Xiaoyuan nodded.
"Of course."
"This soul beast is yours."
Ning Rongrong froze for a moment.
"By myself?"
Feng Xiaoyuan nodded.
"That's right."
"It's a good chance to test the results of your training during this period."
Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and nodded seriously.
"Alright."
"I'll give it a try."
Feng Xiaoyuan then looked at the others.
"You're responsible for keeping this Wind Leopard contained."
"Don't let it escape."
"Let Rongrong try hunting a soul beast alone."
The others responded and immediately spread out.
"Understood."
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang unleashed fire-attribute Soul Power, sealing off one direction.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er froze the opposite direction.
Lei Jie stood directly in front, lightning flickering continuously around him.
Dugu Yan released poisonous mist, completely cutting off the Wind Leopard's retreat.
Seeing this, the Wind Leopard immediately grew restless.
It continuously moved at high speed within the encirclement.
Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and slowly raised her Soul Guidance Pistol.
She took aim.
Bang.
Her first shot missed completely.
The Wind Leopard flashed away, easily dodging it.
Ning Rongrong fired a second shot, but it still missed.
The Wind Leopard was simply too fast to lock onto.
Ning Rongrong fired several more shots in succession.
Yet she still did not even touch the Wind Leopard's shadow.
Ning Rongrong immediately grew somewhat anxious.
"This..."
"It's just too fast."
"I can't hit it at all."
Feng Xiaoyuan stood behind her and said calmly.
"Don't panic."
"Take it slowly."
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and fired several more shots in quick succession.
Gunshots rang out continuously.
The Wind Leopard kept darting left and right, remaining completely unharmed.
Ning Rongrong finally lowered her pistol and sighed helplessly.
"Feng Xiaoyuan."
"I really can't do it."
"It's too fast. I can't lock onto it at all."
Feng Xiaoyuan smiled and nodded.
"Alright, then."
"Looks like you've been slacking off in training. I'll increase your training once we get back."
Ning Rongrong looked utterly dejected after hearing that.
"Ah?"
"Feng Xiaoyuan."
"You can't do that."
Feng Xiaoyuan ignored Ning Rongrong and said to the others.
"Go help Rongrong suppress this Wind Leopard."
"Then let Rongrong deliver the final blow."
The others immediately nodded.
"Alright."
The next moment, Lei Jie was the first to attack.
Lightning instantly crashed down, directly cutting off the Wind Leopard's path of movement.
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang unleashed flames at the same time.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er also released icy air.
They continuously compressed what little space it had left to move.
Dugu Yan released poisonous mist, constantly restricting the Wind Leopard's movement speed.
In just a moment, the Wind Leopard was suppressed until it could barely move.
Feng Xiaoyuan said.
"Rongrong."
"Shoot now."
Ning Rongrong raised her Soul Guidance Pistol again.
This time, the Wind Leopard had nowhere left to evade.
With a gunshot, the Wind Leopard's forehead was instantly pierced through.
The Wind Leopard fell in response, its life force slowly dissipating.
A purple Spirit Ring slowly rose.
Ning Rongrong immediately sat down cross-legged.
She slowly guided the Spirit Ring toward herself.
At last, it slowly merged into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
Half an hour later.
Ning Rongrong opened her eyes.
Two Spirit Rings slowly rose from Ning Rongrong's body.
Yellow.
Purple.
Level twenty-two, two-ringed Soul Grandmaster.
Ning Rongrong stood up excitedly.
The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda slowly appeared, and her second Spirit Ring instantly lit up.
"Nine Treasures turn, glass appears."
"Nine Treasures Divine Light."
"Second: Speed."
A dazzling multicolored light instantly landed on Huo Wu.
Huo Wu immediately felt her body grow lighter.
Her speed surged instantly, and her entire body became a fiery-red afterimage.
In the blink of an eye, she shot dozens of meters away.
"Wow."
"So fast."
Huo Wu's face was filled with shock.
Ning Rongrong nodded happily.
"That's right."
"My second soul skill is a speed boost."
"It can also remove slowing-type negative effects from the body."
"Most importantly..."
Ning Rongrong then looked at Feng Xiaoyuan excitedly.
"Feng Xiaoyuan."
"Do you know? My soul skill changed."
"Originally, my second soul skill should have only provided a twenty percent boost."
"But now it has become thirty percent."
Hearing this, everyone immediately revealed shocked expressions.
Thirty percent.
This had already far exceeded the effect of an ordinary Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's second soul skill.
Feng Xiaoyuan smiled and nodded.
"It seems this may be a change brought about by the evolution of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda."
