A Chance Encounter with a Young Ning Fengzhi

Time flew by, and another two months passed.

Heaven Dou Empire, Sunset Forest.

Sunset Forest lay a hundred li east of Heaven Dou City. It was one of the Heaven Dou Empire's major wild Spirit Beast habitats. Although it was nowhere near as vast as the Star Dou Great Forest, it still contained no shortage of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

At this moment, Jun Lin, Ah Yin, and Shui Linglong were making their way through Sunset Forest. Their destination this time was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Other than the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, nothing along the way was worth the three of their attention. After traveling at full speed for nearly two hours, they could clearly feel the surrounding terrain becoming increasingly complex.

"A-Jun, we should be close. I can sense Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts all around us, which means we're already deep inside Sunset Forest. If we keep going, we'll soon reach the core region where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is located," Shui Linglong said softly as she stopped.

"Mm, Sister Linglong, then let's stay alert. We'll advance slowly into the core region. There's no need to rush; safety comes first," Jun Lin replied.

Although the original novel said that Sunset Forest had no Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, with the strongest ones only being Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, the original novel was ultimately only one-sided information.

After all, if a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast suddenly jumped out of the bushes, that would be quite a problem.

Besides, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was right there. It wasn't going anywhere.

However, halfway to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the three of them suddenly heard the sounds of an intense battle.

Jun Lin and the others immediately looked toward the source of the noise.

Jun Lin soon spotted seven people in the distance, four men and three women. Their footsteps were chaotic, and they were clearly fleeing, as though something terrifying was chasing them from behind.

More importantly, Jun Lin noticed that the seven were fleeing in their direction. Before long, two Spirit Beasts entered Shui Linglong's sensing range.

"A-Jun, six of those seven have Soul Power at the Soul Elder level. Only one has reached level forty, a prospective Soul Ancestor."

"And there are two Spirit Beasts chasing them. One of them is a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast," Shui Linglong said slowly.

"Seven Soul Elders? How did people this weak get this deep into the forest?" Jun Lin was startled as he looked at the gigantic bear standing nearly five meters tall. It was undoubtedly a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Then, judging by their matching clothing, Jun Lin guessed that they were students from some advanced Soul Master Academy in Heaven Dou City, or perhaps descendants of some influential faction.

"Damn! A Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear King, and there's both a male and a female. Why did these people provoke them? And they don't even have anyone leading or protecting them?"

Ah Yin looked at the two Earth Bear Kings in the distance, one at ten thousand years and the other at six thousand years, and could not help sucking in a breath for the seven people.

A level-thirty Soul Ancestor fighting a Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear King was a guaranteed death sentence.

The girl with the Flame Spear Martial Soul was the one who had reached forty Soul Power. At this moment, she gripped her spear and desperately resisted the attacks of the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Bear King.

"Hong Ying, hold on! I've already sent a message. Uncle will be here soon."

The young man stood behind the girl wielding the Flame Spear. As soon as he finished speaking, a seven-story pagoda in his hand released several rays of light that instantly entered the girl's body.

"Hm? A seven-story pagoda Martial Soul! Is he from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Jun Lin was slightly stunned. He had not expected to encounter someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in Sunset Forest.

"Shut your mouth!" Hong Ying frowned and roared angrily, clearly furious at the young man. She then raised her spear and unleashed Soul Skills against the Earth Bear King.

"First Soul Skill, Chasing Clouds!"

"Second Soul Skill, Pursuing Stars!"

"Third Soul Skill, Howling Sun!"

The girl swung her spear in a horizontal sweep, every movement carrying blazing flames. She raised the spear and blocked one of the Earth Bear King's claw strikes head-on.

Meanwhile, several others were fighting the female bear.

The young man leading them was a plant-type control Soul Master with only level thirty-eight Soul Power. Under the female bear's attacks, he was forced back step by step. "Damn it, I can't hold it anymore! I can't control it!"

The moment he finished speaking, the female bear slashed him with a claw. The clothing from his arm to shoulder was ripped apart, revealing a deep claw wound down to the bone.

"Xiao Li! Quick, use a healing Soul Skill!" Seeing this, the young man's companions hurriedly shouted instructions.

At this time, Hong Ying also seemed to be running out of strength. The male bear's claw sent both her and her spear flying, and she crashed heavily onto the ground. A sweetness rose in her throat, and blood instantly spurted from her mouth.

"A-Jun, should we help them?" Ah Yin asked, her face filled with worry.

Faced with Ah Yin's question, Jun Lin had originally intended not to create unnecessary complications and was about to avoid the group.

Because Sister Linglong had just discovered that a Titled Douluo had entered her sensing range and was rushing this way at great speed. Clearly, it was the uncle mentioned by the young man with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

However, just then, the system's notification sounded at the perfect moment!

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for discovering a key figure."

"System profile has been automatically activated for you."

"Name: Ning Fengzhi."

"Age: Sixteen."

"Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"Cultivation: Level thirty-nine."

"Soul Rings: Yellow, yellow, purple."

"Wish List: 1: The Titled Douluo elders within the sect are nearing the end of their lifespans. As the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he hopes to recruit Titled Douluo for the sect."

"2..., 3..., 4..."

"5: He hopes to survive this pursuit by Spirit Beasts."

"???, Ning Fengzhi?"

Jun Lin's face was filled with question marks. He had never expected to encounter the target character, Ning Fengzhi, here.

Jun Lin immediately realized something and shouted toward Ning Fengzhi and the others, "Halt, you bold fiends! How dare you harm people in broad daylight? Watch my Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon... ah, pfft, watch my Treasury of the King!"

As Jun Lin's words fell, four Soul Rings—yellow, purple, purple, and black—lit up around him. Golden vortexes instantly appeared in the surroundings, and countless weapons condensed from Soul Power shot out of them.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

The sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh and bone rang out.

In an instant, two heavy thuds echoed out. The two Earth Bear Kings had already collapsed into pools of blood, powerless to resist.

"Are you all right?" Ah Yin asked the seven people.

"Damn! Such powerful strength. He instantly defeated Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts."

Ning Fengzhi was the first to recover from his shock as he looked at the two Spirit Beasts that had been killed in seconds. As he spoke, the others also said with lingering fear, "Th... thank you for saving us."

Just then, everyone turned around, wanting to see the lifesavers behind them!

"Holy shit! A thousand-year second ring and a ten-thousand-year fourth ring."

"What the hell? A Four-Ring Soul Ancestor can kill a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in one move?"

"Holy crap, that's terrifying!"

"Is that even something a human can do?"

The moment Ning Fengzhi and the others turned around, every one of them stared wide-eyed at the four Soul Rings around Jun Lin. Their mouths hung open wide enough to fit an egg.

This was also deliberate on Jun Lin's part. Never mind the other six—Ning Fengzhi was a sheep he had finally managed to catch. Of course he had to shear him for all he was worth.

Besides, he had long prepared a full set of "plans" for Ning Fengzhi.

Didn't Ning Fengzhi want to find Titled Douluo for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Fine, he would arrange Gu Rong and Chen Xin from the original novel for him.

Didn't Ning Fengzhi like befriending talented people? Fine, wasn't Jun Lin right here?

As the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, countless people in Heaven Dou City wanted to befriend Ning Fengzhi.

If Jun Lin wanted Ning Fengzhi's attention, he naturally needed something eye-catching enough.

And what could be more eye-catching than a genius who surpassed Soul Ring theory?

"Hehehe." Jun Lin rejoiced inwardly. He had come to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, yet he had unexpectedly gained something extra.

"I see that all of you are rather badly injured. Let me treat your wounds first," Ah Yin said as she looked at the seven, all of whom had injuries to varying degrees.

"First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Healing." As Ah Yin activated her Soul Rings, four ordinary rings—yellow, yellow, purple, and purple—appeared, simulated through the Elemental Garment. Her Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul released seven green rays of light that entered their bodies.

"What powerful healing! That's a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and it's only her first Soul Skill?" Ning Fengzhi stared blankly at Ah Yin's Martial Soul. Since when had Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls become this incredible? How had he not known?

If Jun Lin knew what Ning Fengzhi was thinking, he would definitely mock him for his lack of knowledge. Ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls were naturally not this powerful.

In the original novel, Tang Hao had been able to regenerate a severed arm through Ah Yin's Soul Bone skill. That alone showed just how powerful the life attribute of the Blue Silver Emperor was.

Not to mention that Ah Yin's Soul Rings were actually purple, purple, purple, and black. If not for the Elemental Robe concealing their colors, they would have been shocked for an entire year.

Looking at Ah Yin's life-attributed Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, Jun Lin could not help thinking of Tang San.

They both possessed the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, yet under Yu Xiaogang's guidance, Tang San had trained his into a poison attribute. His first Soul Skill was even "Binding."

Jun Lin could not help mocking this inwardly. As expected of someone who specialized in poison. Besides, wasn't binding simply a plant's instinct?

Having read the original novel, Jun Lin still could not forget Little Scumbag's great first Soul Skill: "Mommy Binding."

"It's good that you're all right. You should all be students, shouldn't you? Why weren't any teachers with you?" Ah Yin asked in confusion.

"Uh! We wanted to train ourselves a little, so..." Ning Fengzhi smiled awkwardly, somewhat embarrassed.

"Oh... I see!"

Seeing their awkward expressions, Jun Lin understood.

They were nothing more than a group of hot-blooded youngsters who had snuck out to hunt Spirit Beasts and obtain Soul Rings, only for an "accident" to happen afterward.

Jun Lin merely nodded, uninterested.

"All right, your injuries have mostly recovered, and you should have regained some Soul Power as well," Ah Yin said as she withdrew her Martial Soul.

"Hong Ying, are you all right?" Ning Fengzhi immediately stepped forward and asked the girl anxiously.

"I'm fine! Thank you all for saving us. My name is Hong Ying." After speaking, Hong Ying ignored Ning Fengzhi and took two steps forward to thank Jun Lin's group.

Clearly, she was still angry over Ning Fengzhi's earlier recklessness.

After all, he had played no small part in why they had ended up in such a miserable state.

"You're fine, that's what matters. I presume you need a Soul Ring. If you don't hurry, that thousand-year Spirit Beast will..." Jun Lin reminded her.

"Mm, then thank you. I'll take that six-thousand-year Spirit Beast." Hong Ying did not waste any more time. She raised her Martial Soul once again and thrust her spear into the female bear. As a purple Soul Ring emerged, Hong Ying sat cross-legged and began absorbing it.
