Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone!

Seeing Hu Liena agree, Su Changqing smiled.

"Where are we going tomorrow? You need to tell me about your training mission."

"My training mission is to survive for five days in the deep-edge region of Sunset Forest and kill a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast. I've only completed two days so far."

"Alright. This time there are two of us, so we can look out for each other. Your training should be a little easier."

As Su Changqing said this, his face was full of concerned smiles, and a warm current rose in Hu Liena's heart.

Is he worried about me?

"No. I should still complete Teacher's mission on my own as much as possible. We can travel together, but we shouldn't interfere with each other unless the other person is in mortal danger."

Hearing Hu Liena's words, Su Changqing felt somewhat helpless, but he still agreed.

Isn't this girl pretty smart? Why is she so stubbornly honest?

To put it bluntly, even if Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo were secretly overseeing the test, as long as it was not overly serious cheating, they probably would not report it to Bibi Dong, right?

"Fine. But you need to be careful this time. I used up all the antidotes and healing medicine I brought on you. That means if either of us suffers a serious injury, we'll most likely just be left waiting to die."

At his words, Hu Liena subconsciously glanced at her chest, a faint blush spreading across her lovely face.

"I will."

Her tone was somewhat obedient, and even she did not notice the strange feeling that arose whenever she answered Su Changqing.

"Alright, it's getting late. Rest first. We'll take turns keeping watch."

After a night had passed.

Su Changqing and Hu Liena traveled together toward the deep-edge region of Sunset Forest. Along the way, they did not encounter many Spirit Beasts that attacked them proactively, and their current records were evenly matched.

"It looks like a great battle happened here. With this level of destruction, could this be where two Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts fought?" Hu Liena said as she looked at the scene before them.

Perhaps by coincidence, the two had arrived at the place where the Holy Light Heavenly Steed and Dark Heavenly Steed had fought.

The corpses of the two Spirit Beasts had already been almost completely gnawed away.

"Hm? Something's wrong."

Su Changqing immediately became alert.

"What is it, Changqing?"

"Look at those two Spirit Beasts' bodies. Their blood is still flowing, which proves they were bitten only recently. In other words, a Spirit Beast was halfway through eating them when it suddenly fled."

Upon hearing Su Changqing's words, Hu Liena immediately became alert as well.

For a Spirit Beast to suddenly abandon food right at its mouth, it meant it had sensed something even stronger than itself approaching!

ROAR—

An incomparably gut-wrenching roar rang out. Immediately afterward, a colossal creature appeared before Su Changqing and Hu Liena!

It was a giant spider with a human face growing on its abdomen.

"Man Faced Demon Spider!"

Su Changqing recognized the Spirit Beast at once!

Judging by its size and the shape of the human face on its abdomen, it likely had nearly twenty thousand years of cultivation!

Looking closely, the Man Faced Demon Spider was vomiting blood, and its two rear legs had been broken. It was clearly injured.

"Careful. With our cultivation, even the slightest injury from it would kill us outright! We have no way of withstanding its venom!"

Su Changqing stood in front of Hu Liena. Though he was a head shorter than her, it did nothing to diminish his towering image in her eyes at that moment.

"Who exactly is the Soul Ancestor here, you or me, little brother Changqing? This one happens to be perfect for my final assessment mission. Just watch carefully from the side."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Liena released her spirit rings and charged straight at the Man Faced Demon Spider.

"Hey, Sister Nana, don't be impulsive! That thing has twenty thousand years of cultivation!"

Su Changqing tried to stop her, but she was charging too quickly. It was as though something had provoked her, as if she wanted to prove herself.

"Just wait nicely for your big sister, little brother Changqing."

Hearing Hu Liena's words, Su Changqing's mouth twitched.

He seemed to understand why she was being so impulsive.

So she felt embarrassed about being protected by an eleven-year-old child!

Then again, no matter how mature Hu Liena was, she was only sixteen at this time. It was perfectly normal for her to have such childish thoughts.

Su Changqing stood where he was and released his spirit rings.

His first spirit ring began flashing continuously, ready to activate at any moment.

He did not want Hu Liena to die from the Man Faced Demon Spider's deadly venom. He still needed her help to borrow Chrysanthemum Douluo's Immortal Herb Manual from Spirit Hall!

At that moment, Hu Liena and the Man Faced Demon Spider were locked in a back-and-forth battle. Su Changqing could not help but marvel that she truly was one of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

A twenty-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider, even one with fairly severe injuries, was absolutely not something Hu Liena could defeat alone. Even Su Changqing himself did not dare claim that he could take down a Man Faced Demon Spider in this condition without injury!

It seemed his real combat experience was still far too lacking!

"Die!"

Hu Liena gathered her Soul Power, and a massive fireball instantly slammed into the Man Faced Demon Spider.

"Roar—"

It let out a miserable scream and collapsed directly onto the ground.

Then it began struggling frantically, the intense pain driving it into a frenzy.

Hu Liena was still in midair. That attack had nearly drained all her strength, leaving her weak and exhausted.

"It's not dead? Its vitality is actually this tenacious..." Hu Liena said, gasping heavily.

At that moment, the Man Faced Demon Spider rose to its feet, and two sharp Spider Lances slashed straight toward Hu Liena's body!

Hu Liena's pupils contracted. She wanted to dodge, but the weakness from her previous attack had yet to fade.

In the end, she had still been too careless!

Just as Hu Liena fell into despair, a flash of Golden Light suddenly appeared. Then, the exhausted Hu Liena felt as though something had wrapped around her body.

Su Changqing held her in his arms, spinning through the air to evade the Man Faced Demon Spider's attack before the two landed steadily on the ground.

As they landed, Hu Liena's crimson fox ears brushed against Su Changqing's jaw, carrying a faint fragrance.

"A twenty-thousand-year soul beast's final counterattack is not to be underestimated. Don't be so careless next time," Su Changqing said gently.

Hu Liena stared blankly at Su Changqing's face so close to hers, even forgetting to break free.

Su Changqing had saved her again!

"Mm..."

She nodded obediently, completely forgetting that she was still in Su Changqing's arms.

"Close your eyes."

Hu Liena closed her eyes.

The next moment, Su Changqing's gaze sharpened as his first and second soul rings lit up simultaneously.

"Second Spirit Ability, Rainbow Flowing Light!"

"First Spirit Skill, Holy Light Radiance!"

"Buzz—"

An intense radiance burst forth. That absolutely pure light instantly engulfed the Man Faced Demon Spider, and its body began to peel apart. Even in its final death throes, it could not endure such agony!

"Hiss—hiss—"

It lay sprawled on the ground, its mangled, bloodied body writhing. Before long, it lost all signs of life.

"Looks like your mission is complete," Su Changqing said with a smile.

"Mm, could... could you put me down now?" Hu Liena asked, deeply embarrassed.

Only then did Su Changqing realize that he was still holding her.

Mm, nice feel.

He set her down.

Just after Su Changqing put Hu Liena down, the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse suddenly began to glow!

"Hmm? Changqing, it looks like a soul bone dropped! A ten-thousand-year soul bone!"

"Quick! It's this way! I can already see the Man Faced Demon Spider's blood on the ground!"
