Facing Bewitching Charm, this was also Chu Bai's first time fighting it. An eerie red mist began spreading across the arena, and within the mist, Chu Bai felt both his mobility and perception partially weakened.

"Bewitching Charm is fairly formidable, but it still can't break through my Chaos Aura protection."

Chu Bai smiled faintly.

He unleashed his Second Spirit Ability, Chaos Body Protection. It could not only protect himself but also block out certain external influences.

Thus, the weakening effect of Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Bewitching Charm was useless against him.

Blurred afterimages continuously flickered around him. Bewitching Charm circled Chu Bai at high speed, its presence elusive and difficult to detect.

"Hmph, against Bewitching Charm, unless he can fly, otherwise..."

Outside the arena, Yan spoke with a smug expression. Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was incredibly powerful. Even Chu Bai would likely end up defeated unless he could fly out of it—but how could that be possible?

Before Yan could finish speaking, however, a pair of wings blazing with dazzling flames emerged behind Chu Bai. He shot out of Bewitching Charm's range and looked down from above.

"What?!"

Yan immediately looked utterly miserable.

You said he could fly, and he actually could fly?

No, seriously, bro, you really can fly?!

"Third Spirit Ability, Eight Desolations Destruction!"

Chu Bai swung the Pangu Axe. Chaos Aura, carrying the powerful Soul Power within his body, transformed into an invisible energy blade and blasted downward. The red mist was instantly scattered, and two somewhat disheveled figures retreated from within.

"What?!"

Xie Yue's eyes widened. Bewitching Charm, which he and Hu Liena had formed together, had been broken just like that?

"All my attacks are area-of-effect attacks, so I don't need to lock onto you. I only need to use the shockwaves from my attacks to force you out."

Chu Bai withdrew the Feathered Burning Wings and slowly descended.

"How are we supposed to fight this? We surrender!"

Ning Rongrong said irritably. Six against one, yet they had still been utterly crushed. For a while, no one had much spirit left.

The sparring match ended, and the three of them—Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan—left as well. They still needed to continue cultivating. It was now the best time for them to break through to Spirit King. If they succeeded, then when they participated in the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, all three of them could compete with the strength of Spirit Kings.

If that happened, they would definitely win the tournament.

"Teacher, I plan to make a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Chu Bai walked over to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. He had noticed their arrival long ago.

"The Star Dou Great Forest? Are you going to add a Spirit Ring to your Second Martial Soul?"

At the mention of this, Bibi Dong's expression grew more solemn. She knew about Chu Bai's Second Martial Soul. If he needed to hunt a Spirit Beast, then even if it was only his second Spirit Ring, she hoped it would be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast.

However, this hunt would likely not be so easy. After all, the Desolate Ancient Beast last time had been in a weakened state.

"No. Zhu Zhuqing happens to need her fourth Spirit Ring, so I'm taking the three of them to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Chu Bai explained.

Bibi Dong knew Zhu Zhuqing's circumstances as well. She had only been here for a short while, but hadn't she been below level thirty when she first arrived?

How had she reached level forty so quickly?

Could she get stronger by writing a diary too?

"I see. Then I'll have Elder Ju and Elder Gui accompany you. The Star Dou Great Forest is filled with danger. With the two of them going along, you'll have an extra layer of protection."

Chu Bai did not refuse. Although the main purpose of this trip was to help Zhu Zhuqing hunt a Spirit Beast, he also planned to meet those two fellows, the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.

"It'd probably be pretty impressive to keep those two big idiots as mounts, but they probably won't be easy to fool."

Chu Bai felt somewhat helpless.

He knew that Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Azure Bull Python all harbored deep hatred toward Spirit Hall. After all, Xiao Wu's mother had died at Spirit Hall's hands back then.

"Whatever. It wasn't me who killed her mother."

Chu Bai could not be bothered to think about such troublesome matters. Not killing Xiao Wu did not mean he had to treat her well. He had never claimed to be a good person.

Afterward, Chu Bai called over the familiar trio of Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei. Together with Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan, they set off for the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Uh... Holy Son, we're only hunting a fourth Spirit Ring, a Thousand-Year Spirit Beast. Do we really need three Titled Douluo for this?"

Seeing such a grand display, Dugu Bo thought Chu Bai was going to hunt another Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast.

"I never said it would be a thousand-year one. I already told Zhu Zhuqing that her fourth Spirit Ring should attempt to absorb a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring."

Chu Bai said.

"What?" Dugu Bo sized up Zhu Zhuqing. A ten-thousand-year fourth ring?

Did young people these days all enjoy pushing themselves to the limit so much?

But when he remembered that Chu Bai's first Spirit Ring had been a hundred-thousand-year one, Dugu Bo no longer found it surprising.

Who could possibly outdo you in being outrageous?

At night, the group chose to rest not far from the Star Dou Great Forest and lit a campfire. As for Chu Bai, he lay off to one side with his eyes closed. He appeared to be resting, but he was actually writing in his diary.

[I've finally settled the members of the Spirit Hall Team. With a lineup like this, crushing Shrek shouldn't be a problem, right? I figure that bunch will have, at most, two Soul Ancestors by then—Tang San and Dai Mubai.]

[The others will be lucky if they're Soul Elders. But now they can't even gather enough people, so they might as well put Yu Xiaogang on the field. Have him compete at level twenty-nine and laugh the other side to death!]

Not far away, Ning Rongrong accidentally laughed. Although she hid it well, Zhu Zhuqing still caught it.

"Why does it feel like Rong Rong... can see Chu Bai's diary too?" Zhu Zhuqing then looked toward Dugu Yan beside her, but Dugu Yan showed no reaction at all. It seemed Dugu Yan could not see it.

[We'll reach the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow. Perfect. Let Zhu Qing and Rong Rong handle the Spirit Beast hunt themselves tomorrow. With three Titled Douluo around, what danger could there possibly be?]

At the same time, after Xiao Wu in the Star Dou Great Forest saw those words, she froze before growing uneasy.

"Chu Bai is coming to the Star Dou Great Forest? And he's bringing three Titled Douluo? Is he..."

Xiao Wu's face turned pale. Could Chu Bai be here to hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast? But what other Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts were there in the Star Dou Great Forest? Instinctively, Xiao Wu thought of Daming Erming.

"Could it be that he deliberately let me return safely to the Star Dou Great Forest just so I would expose Daming Erming's location?" Xiao Wu muttered to herself.
