Don't Smash the Pot You Eat From

The next moment, a rumbling sound came from the ground.

The trees in the distance kept swaying.

Like a horde of beasts, a large number of Soul Beasts rushed madly from the depths of the forest toward the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Oh My God!"

Ma Hongjun stared wide-eyed at the scene before him.

"So many Soul Beasts?"

Oscar's eyes widened as well.

"If they all rushed over, I'd be crushed into a meat patty."

Dai Mubai chuckled, "It's not that big."

Soon these Soul Beasts reached the Poison Formation outside, which immediately blocked eighty percent of Soul Beast.

The remaining 20% entered the outer layer of the Poison Formation and dared not go any further.

Dugu Bo watched this scene and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, it seems the Poison Formation I set up is quite effective."

Ye Lin said, "Senior's control over toxins is still too masterful; there are few people in this world who can match it."

Dugu Bo immediately laughed, "Alright, if there's nothing else, stop flattering me and let's choose Soul Beast."

Ye Lin chuckled, "Senior, actually, there really is something."

"Using your methods, we should be able to poison all these Soul Beasts unconscious, keeping them unconscious without harming them."

"This way, they won't have to go through so much trouble when choosing them, and they won't have to suffer so much when we kill them."

Dugu Bo was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Ye Lin.

"Well, so this is where I was waiting for you!"

"I do indeed possess such methods, but why did you specifically request that I not harm them?"

Ye Lin smiled and explained:

"Senior, we're only here to obtain Spirit Rings, not to kill all the Soul Beasts here."

"If we kill all these Soul Beasts, Sunset Forest won't have enough Soul Beasts left."

"We can't just kill all the Soul Beasts of our descendants just to absorb Spirit Rings for ourselves."

"You can't just eat and then smash the pot!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo burst into laughter.

"You've thought things through quite thoroughly, haven't you?"

"Alright, in that case, I'll listen to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo's figure disappeared from the spot.

Before anyone could even see how he made his move, the Soul Beasts outside the Poison Formation fell down one after another.

Some of them sensed something was wrong and wanted to escape, but their legs went weak before they could even move.

In a short while, all the Soul Beasts outside fell into a coma.

Dugu Bo returned to the crowd and clapped his hands.

"Kid, is there anything else? You'd better tell me all at once."

Ye Lin glanced at the Soul Beasts outside and nodded in satisfaction.

"That's enough, senior."

"This will make selecting them much easier, and they won't have to suffer so much when we kill them."

Oscar burst out laughing upon hearing this.

"No, Brother Lin, you've come to believe in not torturing living beings even when you're killing them?"

"At this point, I have to talk about your Third Soul Ring!"

"Let me tell you how that Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear died!"

Ye Lin coughed.

"Ahem, people can reflect on their actions, don't you understand?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Yu Xiaogang led the group out of the Poison Formation and began selecting suitable Soul Beasts for them.

At this moment, all the Soul Beasts outside had fallen unconscious, so everyone could proceed with their selection with peace of mind.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Oscar.

"Oscar, come here."

Oscar quickly stepped forward.

"Grandmaster, what's wrong?"

Yu Xiaogang pointed to a Soul Beast not far away.

"Look at that Pink Lady, she's about four thousand years old, which perfectly matches your requirements for your Fourth Spirit Ring."

"The Pink Lady possesses a strong ability to stimulate excitement, enabling her to reach a state of heightened arousal quickly."

"You're a food-type Soul Master. If you absorb its Spirit Ring, you should be able to gain a similar Soul Skill."

"Being able to obtain a supportive stimulant skill, and given the high strength of your Martial Soul, the God of Food, might eliminate the stimulant effect's side effect from this Soul Skill."

Oscar's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.

If the Fourth Soul Skill could put teammates into a state of euphoria without any side effects, that would be incredibly powerful.

"I'll follow the Grandmaster's arrangements!"

Yu Xiaogang nodded, then looked at Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong understood and walked up to the Pink Lady.

She raised one leg and kicked out directly.

The Pink Lady's body was immediately sent flying, landing directly in an open area outside the Poison Formation's range.

Upon seeing this, Oscar quickly stepped forward.

"Hehe, leave the rest to me!"

He pulled out a Dagger and ended her life.

Even as this round of purple Spirit Rings slowly rose, the Pink Lady's body did not struggle at all, indicating that she was not in any pain.

Oscar took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and began to absorb his Fourth Spirit Ring.

Yu Xiaogang then turned his gaze to Ma Hongjun.

"Little Fatty, it's your turn."

"I've already chosen your Fourth Spirit Ring."

"You shall absorb this Earth King."

Yu Xiaogang stretched out his finger,

It was a massive scorpion-type Soul Beast, its entire body dark red, radiating a blazing fire-attribute aura.

Yu Xiaogang explained:

"This Earth King is approximately four thousand years old, and its fire attribute is very strong, making it a perfect match for your Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul."

"If you can successfully absorb its Spirit Ring, your Fourth Soul Skill should have decent fire attack capabilities."

After hearing this, Ma Hongjun became quite excited.

However, he didn't agree immediately, but subconsciously looked at Flender.

After all, Flender was his teacher.

Flender glanced at the Earth King, then nodded to Ma Hongjun.

Having gained Flender's approval, Ma Hongjun then said:

"I'll follow the Grandmaster's arrangements!"

Yu Xiaogang smiled slightly.

"Okay, that's it."

Liu Erlong stepped forward again and came before the Earth King.

She glanced at the enormous scorpion-like Soul Beast, then raised her foot and kicked it again.

The massive body of the Earth King was instantly kicked into the Poison Formation.

Ma Hongjun re-entered the Poison Formation. He didn't take out his Dagger, but following Yu Xiaogang's instructions, he used Phoenix Fire Wire to attack the Earth King's weak point.

Soon, a purple Spirit Ring rose up.

Ma Hongjun sat down cross-legged and began absorbing his Fourth Spirit Ring.

Seeing that both students had already begun absorbing Spirit Rings, Flender nodded in satisfaction.

"Looks like this time the efficiency was pretty good."

Yu Xiaogang laughed:

"With Senior Dugu Bo's help, we can naturally avoid a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo let out a smug snort.

"Of course, my Poison Formation is no mere decoration."
