Furnace Refines Great Pill (1)

A normal person's fourth soul ring was usually a thousand years old.

A normal person's fifth soul ring was only then ten thousand years old.

Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and the others were all level-forty Quasi Soul Ancestors—normal people. Naturally, they absorbed Thousand-Year Soul Rings. But there were quite a few abnormal people on Blue Tyrant Academy's side. Though they were clearly only level-twenty Quasi Soul Grandmasters, they could absorb soul rings over seven thousand years old, just like Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang. Therefore, the Soul Hunting Squad remained in the Thousand-Year Soul Beast Zone for a long time.

Only after a full ten days did they set out again.

They embarked on the road to the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast Zone.

The Shrek Academy of ten thousand years later had detailed guides dividing up the Star Dou Great Forest. For instance, there was the Core Region. The current Spirit Hall also had similar divisions. In Spirit Hall's eyes, the Star Dou Great Forest had only five regions: the Outer Forest, the Hundred-Year Soul Beast Zone, the Thousand-Year Soul Beast Zone, the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast Zone, and the Core Region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"They say there is a lake in the Core Region of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"There seem to be 100,000 Year Soul Beasts in the lake."

"Even Titled Douluo cannot fight them head-on."

As they searched for Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings for Yan and Hu Liena, the two Soul Kings, Yue Guan did not avoid the subject. Casually chatting, he tossed out information. "That rumor is true. The Titled Douluo who entered the Star Dou Great Forest alone, realized he could not defeat them, and retreated unscathed was one of Spirit Hall's consecrated elders. Moreover, he saw not one 100,000 Year Soul Beast, but two. Both were entrenched around that lake."

Everyone clicked their tongues in astonishment.

Two 100,000 Year Soul Beasts.

They did not even dare imagine it.

No wonder that Titled Douluo had retreated.

Most Titled Douluo were only as strong as 100,000-year soul beasts. Only Titled Douluo above level ninety-five were confident they could kill a 100,000-year soul beast alone. In a one-against-two fight, even if that Titled Douluo were a Super Douluo, his chances of victory would be slim. This was no simple math problem.

"What is even more terrifying is that those two 100,000 Year Soul Beasts are extraordinary variants..." Ghost Douluo's voice was somewhat hoarse. He glanced at Hu Liena, then followed her gaze to Ye Qingcang before adding, "One is a 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape. The other is suspected to be a 100,000-year Sky Azure Bull Python."

The Titan Giant Ape was one of the overlords of the soul beast world.

A Titan Giant Ape a few hundred years old could tear apart non-overlord soul beasts over a thousand years old through brute force. One a few thousand years old could tear apart non-overlord soul beasts over ten thousand years old. If Dugu Bo were used as the unit of measurement, his combat strength was only equivalent to a Titan Giant Ape of around fifty thousand years. Even though his martial soul had evolved into the Azure Serpent Emperor, placing it on the same level as a 100,000-year Azure Serpent Emperor, victory or defeat against a Titan Giant Ape of around fifty thousand years remained uncertain.

A 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape could not be matched by any Titled Douluo below level ninety-five.

The Sky Azure Bull Python mentioned afterward was even more remarkable.

It was one of the Dragon Blood Species.

Its numbers were extremely rare.

It was also an overlord-class soul beast.

A 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape plus a 100,000-year Sky Azure Bull Python.

Even if Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather came, they would probably have a hard time dealing with them... Ning Rongrong silently calculated. But if Father came, with his support, those two 100,000 Year Soul Beasts definitely would not be able to defeat Sword Grandfather and Bone Grandfather. Still, what does suddenly bringing up these two 100,000 Year Soul Beasts imply?

"Spirit Hall is confident it can kill them." Yue Guan silently praised Hu Liena's sharp gaze. He swung his hoe swiftly, poaching right before their eyes. "Kid Ye, after you graduate from Blue Tyrant Academy, if you are willing to join Spirit Hall, your Ninth Soul Ring will definitely be a 100,000-Year Spirit Ring. You will also definitely possess a 100,000-Year Soul Bone. This is Spirit Hall's promise to you."

Yue Guan himself certainly did not have that authority.

Neither did Gui Mei.

But Hu Liena did!

All Hu Liena lacked was the title of Saintess.

Long ago, she had already become Bibidong's disciple.

She truly could make promises on Spirit Hall's behalf.

This was the olive branch she extended to Ye Qingcang, because she genuinely admired him. It was also the first time she had felt that vague sense of attraction.

At those words, quite a few people's expressions changed slightly.

However, before the person in question spoke, it was not the turn of these people, each with their own thoughts, to interrupt.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes reddened with envy.

His gaze repeatedly swept over Ye Qingcang.

Then it fell on Xiao Wu.

A calculating and venomous look flashed through his eyes.

Unfortunately, neither Xiao Wu nor Tang San saw it.

"No." Amid all the puzzled, questioning, and mocking gazes, Ye Qingcang's refusal was clean and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation. His tone was resolute, causing Hu Liena to feel slightly disappointed. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo. I am not someone who aims too high. Compared to my Ninth Soul Ring, I care more about the Fourth Soul Ring I need right now. The road must be walked step by step, and meals must be eaten bite by bite."

Xiao Wu silently rolled her eyes.

Of everyone here, you have the least right to say that.

Was your Stellar Martial Arts built step by step?

Was your Stellar Martial Arts eaten bite by bite?

You had already set your sights on those three ninety-thousand-year Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Three Brothers. By what you said a few days ago, you were planning to make your fourth soul ring two hundred thousand years old. Are you sure you care more about the Fourth Soul Ring before you, rather than simply looking down on the promise of a 100,000-Year Spirit Ring as your Ninth Soul Ring?

Xiao Wu was gradually becoming bad too.

She was turning into Ye Qingcang.

After spending so much time with Ye Qingcang, she had realized that he was not someone who liked to brag. On the contrary, he was actually very modest. It was just that he had seen too much; many things that were commonplace to him were incomprehensible in the eyes of onlookers like them.

That was why they often felt Ye Qingcang was bragging.

They felt Ye Qingcang was making grand claims.

Seeing Ye Qingcang refuse, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Hu Liena did not lose heart. Ye Qingcang's answer was very good. If he had agreed immediately, they would instead have thought him frivolous and impulsive. His current refusal, however, revealed Ye Qingcang's steady character.

It had to be said, beauty was in the eye of the beholder.

Yue Guan truly took double standards to another level.

Seeing Hu Liena take such initiative, Yan, ever the devoted lapdog, was filled with rage. After personally killing the soul beast he needed as quickly as possible, he threw Ye Qingcang a provocative look.

At the same time, Hu Liena also began absorbing her soul ring.

During the time Yan spent personally killing his soul beast, Gui Mei, a level-ninety-five Super Douluo, had more than enough time to beat a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast until it had only one breath left, then bring it back for Hu Liena to finish off.

With few people, there was a strategy for few people: accumulate real combat experience.

With many people, there was a strategy for many people: mow them down, then finish them off.

On Blue Tyrant Academy's side, most were Quasi Soul Grandmasters around level twenty. During the ten days of hunting in the Thousand-Year Soul Beast Zone, they had long since obtained suitable soul rings. Once Yan and Hu Liena had theirs, only Ye Qingcang, Violet, and two other level-forty Blue Tyrant Academy students remained.

Therefore, after Yan and Hu Liena finished absorbing their soul rings and slightly stabilized their realms, Ye Qingcang smoothly took command of the team from Yue Guan and Gui Mei, then plunged headlong toward the Core Region.
