Ah Yin Condenses Her Fourth Soul Ring, Yu Xiaogang's Heaven-Defying Wisdom

As for the awakened soul skill, Qian Xunji felt even more strongly that Su Mu's soul skills were gradually perfecting his own support abilities.

Not to mention that he could still cultivate his Destruction Angel martial soul.

How terrifying would it be to possess both healing and destruction?

After regulating his breathing, Su Mu's body had more or less recovered.

Next, Qian Xunji began searching for suitable Soul Beasts for each of the others.

As for Ah Yin, Su Mu sought out Qian Xunji alone to discuss it, then took Ah Yin and Bibi Dong to look for a suitable plant-type Soul Beast.

Qian Xunji had originally wanted to go with them, but Su Mu refused. Remembering that Su Mu had a God King protecting him, he agreed, reminding them to stay nearby and not run around.

Once he had settled the others' Soul Rings, he would come find them.

The three set off, with Bibi Dong carrying the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in her arms.

When they reached a certain place, the three stopped.

"Ah Yin, you can start condensing your Soul Ring." After looking around and confirming that it was safe, Su Mu spoke.

"Alright." Ah Yin sat down. Azure light flickered around her body as she began condensing her own fourth Soul Ring.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked in surprise, "How did I fail to notice the Soul Beast hidden in your Spirit Hall just now?"

Bibi Dong explained, her tone carrying a trace of mockery. "That just means you haven't seen much. You only need to cover Ah Yin with a layer of energy that conceals her aura."

"I'm a Soul Beast too. How could I possibly fail to see through it?"

She refused to believe she could not see through Ah Yin.

"Of course you couldn't see through it. That concealment ability was bestowed by a god. With your level of cultivation, you're nowhere near qualified."

Bibi Dong clicked her tongue twice.

"Then why didn't you say so earlier? It was bestowed by a god—how could I possibly see through it?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion rolled her eyes at Bibi Dong. What a bully. If your senior brother weren't here, I'd have Scarlet King teach you a proper lesson.

"You haven't forgotten either. If you weren't an Auspicious Beast, I would've caged you long ago and taught you that being a pet isn't so bad. For example, being locked in a quiet secret chamber, with an extra cage or something."

Bibi Dong said it with an innocent expression.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion shrank back in fright. "You woman, you're truly too sinister."

"How is that sinister?"

Bibi Dong did not think there was anything wrong with what she had said.

Su Mu's body trembled.

A secret chamber.

Why would Dong'er mention a secret chamber now? Could it really be some instinct in her bloodline?

I won't get locked in a secret chamber, will I?

Su Mu's heart tightened.

Bibi Dong at this time might have only been joking casually, but that did not mean she would not do it in the future.

What if it really came true one day?

He forcibly calmed himself, telling himself that Bibi Dong had merely said it casually.

"Senior Brother, what's wrong?" Bibi Dong suddenly patted Su Mu.

Su Mu came back to his senses and smiled. "Nothing. I was just thinking about something."

"Really?" Bibi Dong looked at Su Mu suspiciously, but she still chose to trust her senior brother.

Not long afterward, Ah Yin successfully condensed her fourth Soul Ring. After previously consuming Whale Rubber and absorbing a Spirit Bone, she was entirely capable of condensing a fourth Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Only transformed Soul Beasts that had reached maturity could hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings.

Once Ah Yin had finished, her fourth Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring appeared beneath her feet.

"It's done."

Ah Yin felt wonderful. Breaking through to Soul Ancestor meant she had taken another step toward catching up to Su Mu.

"Ah Yin, I have to say, it's really convenient for you Soul Beasts to condense Soul Rings. You don't even need to hunt Soul Beasts."

Bibi Dong could not help admiring that point. For ordinary humans, without the help of other Soul Masters, it was almost impossible to hunt a suitable Soul Beast for a Soul Ring.

Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beasts, however, did not need to hunt Soul Beasts. This greatly reduced the danger to their lives.

"Perhaps that's also an advantage. Otherwise, we'd be easily discovered by humans." Ah Yin smiled.

If she could directly become human, that would be even better. She would not need to live in constant fear.

Of course, that was definitely before meeting Su Mu.

After meeting Su Mu, what the hell was there to fear?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Star Dou Great Forest, members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan were also hunting Soul Beasts.

They were helping Yu Xiaogang hunt his second Soul Ring for the upcoming Soul Master Tournament.

Yu Xiaogang had broken through level twenty just before the tournament began, which was also something worth celebrating.

At the very least, he would not step onto the field as merely a Soul Master.

Yu Yuanzhen would lose a little less face, so he had specifically sent Yu Luomian, a Soul Sage, to accompany him.

Once Yu Luomian broke through to Soul Douluo, he could become the clan's second-in-command and enter its core ranks.

As Yu Luomian looked at Yu Xiaogang, he felt that Yu Xiaogang was not even worth a single hair on his daughter's head.

Although his daughter's mother had been a promiscuous woman, the Mutated Fire Dragon was still far stronger than Luo Sanpao, who could only fart.

"Young Clan Master, our target this time is a Soul Beast between six hundred and seven hundred years old. The Clan Master instructed us to make it a lightning-element Soul Beast if possible. Perhaps your second soul skill might undergo some change?"

Even if it only farted, a lightning fart would at least contain some lightning element and have some connection to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Otherwise, it would be rather embarrassing when he took the field.

Yu Yuanzhen practically did not want Yu Xiaogang to compete. Yu Xiaolong, also his son, was far stronger than Yu Xiaogang.

He used fewer resources and was already on the verge of breaking through to Soul Ancestor. If he fought a few matches in the Heaven Dou City division, he could break through to Soul Ancestor before heading to Spirit Hall.

Though he could not compare to those monstrous geniuses, he could at least bring Yu Yuanzhen some pride.

If Yu Yuanzhen had only Yu Xiaogang as a son, then the clan would basically have no hope.

"Uncle Luomian, I have my own ideas. We may not necessarily be unable to find a suitable Soul Beast. Besides, with my mutated martial soul, finding a lightning-element Soul Beast doesn't seem suitable at all."

Yu Xiaogang spoke righteously.

"Since you have your own ideas, Young Clan Master, I won't say anything more." Yu Luomian followed Yu Xiaogang's decision.

The several Soul Ancestor guards accompanying them also nodded in agreement.

After all, they were only guards. They only needed to obey the Young Clan Master's decision.

They would not be the ones losing face.

There had been rumors that Qian Xunji had come to the clan half a year ago. No one knew what had happened, but judging from the sounds coming from the clan's main hall, it must have involved Yu Xiaogang.

Unfortunately, no one knew what exactly had happened that time, leaving many in the clan feeling regretful.

Yu Yuanzhen had been inside, while Yu Luomian had been outside. Other than the two of them, no one else knew what had happened inside.

After walking for a while, Yu Xiaogang stopped, his eyes fixed intently on the Soul Beast ahead.

It seemed exceptionally suitable for him.

"Uncle Luomian, that Soul Beast!"

Yu Luomian followed his gaze. Five hundred meters away stood a Soul Beast with the body of an ordinary civet, earth-yellow fur, and glands capable of releasing a miasmic scent with hypnotic effects.

"A Miasma Civet?"
