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 ten thousand years old.

Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and the others were all level-forty Quasi Soul Grandmasters. They were normal people too, so naturally, they absorbed thousand-year soul rings. However, quite a few people on Blue Tyrant Academy's side were abnormal. 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. Thus, the Soul Hunting Squad remained in the Thousand Year Soul Beast Area for a long time.

It was not until ten full days later that they set out again.

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

Shrek Academy ten thousand years later had detailed guides dividing up the Star Dou Great Forest, such as its core area. The current Spirit Hall had similar guides. In Spirit Hall's eyes, the Star Dou Great Forest had only five sections: the forest outskirts, the Hundred-Year Soul Beast Area, the Thousand Year Soul Beast Area, the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Area, and the core area of the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

"I heard there is a lake in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"There seem to be Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the lake."

"Even Titled Douluo cannot defeat them."

While searching for ten-thousand-year soul rings for Yan and Hu Liena, the two Soul Kings, Yue Guan did not avoid the subject. He casually tossed out information as if chatting. "That rumor is true. The Titled Douluo who entered the Star Dou Great Forest alone, realized he could not defeat them, and retreated unharmed was one of Spirit Hall's consecrated elders. Moreover, he saw not one but two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, both entrenched around that lake."

Everyone clicked their tongues in astonishment.

Two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

They did not even dare imagine it.

No wonder that Titled Douluo had withdrawn.

Most Titled Douluo possessed combat power roughly comparable to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Only Titled Douluo above level ninety-five were confident of killing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast alone. In a one-against-two fight, even if that Titled Douluo were a Super Douluo, his odds of victory would not be high. This was not a simple math problem.

"The most terrifying part is that those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are both extraordinary mutant species..." Ghost Douluo's voice was somewhat hoarse. He glanced at Hu Liena, then followed her gaze to Ye Qingcang before adding, "One is a hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape, while the other is suspected to be a hundred-thousand-year Sky Azure Bull Python."

Titan Giant Apes were among the overlords of the soul beast world.

A Titan Giant Ape only a few hundred years old could tear apart non-overlord soul beasts over a thousand years old with 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 a unit of measurement, his combat power was only equivalent to a Titan Giant Ape around fifty thousand years old. Even though his martial soul had evolved into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, placing it on equal footing with a hundred-thousand-year Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, the outcome of a battle against a Titan Giant Ape around fifty thousand years old was still uncertain.

A hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape could not be matched by anyone below a level-ninety-five Titled Douluo.

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

It was one of the dragon-blooded species.

Its numbers were exceedingly rare.

It was also an overlord-class soul beast.

A hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape plus a hundred-thousand-year Sky Azure Bull Python.

Even if Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa came, they would probably find them difficult to deal with... Ning Rongrong silently calculated. But if Father came too, then with Father's support, those two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts definitely wouldn't be able to defeat Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa. Still, what does suddenly bringing up these two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts imply?

"Spirit Hall is confident it can kill them." Yue Guan silently praised Hu Liena's keen gaze. He swung his hoe with remarkable speed, poaching right in front of everyone. "Kid Ye, once 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 Soul Ring. You will also definitely possess a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. This is Spirit Hall's promise to you."

Yue Guan himself certainly did not have that authority.

Neither did Guimei.

But Hu Liena did!

All Hu Liena lacked was the title of Saintess.

Long ago, she had already become Bibi Dong'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 being drawn to someone.

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

However, the person in question had yet to speak, so it was not these people with their various motives who had any right to interrupt.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were red with envy.

His gaze swept back and forth over Ye Qingcang.

Then it landed on Xiao Wu.

A calculating and sinister look flashed through his eyes.

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu did not see it, and neither did Tang San.

"No." Amid all the confused, questioning, and mocking gazes, Ye Qingcang's refusal was crisp and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation. His resolute answer left Hu Liena slightly disappointed. "Thank you for your kindness, 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 currently need. One must walk the road step by step and eat meals bite by bite."

Xiao Wu silently rolled her eyes.

Of everyone here, you are the least qualified to say that.

Was your Stellar Martial Path built step by step?

Was your Stellar Martial Path eaten bite by bite?

You had already set your sights on those three ninety-thousand-year Thousand Jun Ant Emperor brothers. By your own words from 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 you need right now, rather than simply looking down on the promise of a hundred-thousand-year Ninth Soul Ring?

Xiao Wu was gradually becoming bad too.

She was becoming like Ye Qingcang.

After spending a long time with Ye Qingcang, she discovered that he really was not the sort of person who liked to brag. On the contrary, he was actually quite modest. It was just that he knew too much, and many things ordinary to him were incomprehensible in the eyes of onlookers like them.

So, he often seemed like he was bragging.

Like he was talking big.

Seeing Ye Qingcang refuse, Yue Guan, Guimei, and Hu Liena were not discouraged. Ye Qingcang's answer was very good. If he had agreed immediately, they would instead have considered him frivolous and impulsive. His current refusal, however, showed his steady character.

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

Yue Guan had truly taken double standards to another level.

Seeing Hu Liena take such initiative, Yan, her devoted admirer, was also filled with fury. 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 began absorbing her soul ring.

The time Yan spent personally killing his soul beast was enough for Guimei, a level-ninety-five Super Douluo, to beat a ten-thousand-year soul beast down to its last breath and bring it back for Hu Liena to finish off.

With few people, there was a method suited to few people: accumulating real combat experience.

With many people, there was a method suited to many people: mowing them down first, then finishing 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 Area, they had long since matched their soul rings. Once Yan and Hu Liena had their soul rings, only Ye Qingcang, Violet, and two other level-forty Blue Tyrant Academy students remained.

Thus, 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 Guimei, then plunged headfirst toward the core area.
