Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, Ten-Thousand-Year Raging Blood Iron Birch! An unfamiliar bear?

Afterward, Yue Guan and Gui Mei agreed to Gui Yuan's suggestion.

Rather than returning to Spirit Hall, the three hurried toward Star Dou Great Forest.

According to their original target, Gui Yuan's Third Soul Ring should have been around seven or eight thousand years old.

But plans could not keep pace with change.

Now, with the foundation of his Indestructible Vajra Body and Ice and Fire Body Tempering, along with the Darkin Bow protecting his spiritual power, he could actually attempt to absorb a Soul Ring from a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast as his Third Soul Ring.

On the way, Yue Guan remarked, "You've only just broken through to level thirty, and you're already going to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. Probably no one would believe it if word got out."

Gui Yuan smiled. "That's because I have you and Second Dad here, Eldest Dad. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare think of it."

Gui Mei said evenly, "Even with us here, it would be pointless if your physique and spiritual power weren't up to it. What matters is whether you can withstand it yourself."

The three traveled swiftly, reaching Star Dou Great Forest a few days later.

They did not linger on the outskirts, heading straight for the mixed zone.

The Soul Beasts here were generally around ten thousand years old, making the search a little easier.

Meanwhile, inside Spirit Hall.

Hu Liena sat on the steps outside the cultivation room, resting her chin in her hands and staring into space.

She frowned, thinking, Gui Yuan and the others only went out to obtain a Second Soul Ring. It's been almost a month now. Why haven't they come back yet?

According to what they had said before, Soul Beasts like the Rejuvenation Vine should not have been difficult to find in Sunset Forest.

The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

"Could something have happened?"

She shook her head, dismissing the thought.

With two Titled Douluos, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, accompanying him, they could not possibly lose even if they encountered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Although Bibi Dong was also puzzled, she was not worried, since both Yue Guan and Gui Mei were there.

There were no Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in Sunset Forest, and even if there were, they would be no match for the two of them.

However, Bibi Dong was indeed thinking about something else.

Seated in the main seat of the Pope's Palace, she looked at a Soul Bone in her hand that radiated blue light.

It was a Head Soul Bone, icy blue throughout, with fine patterns of light flowing across its surface, like slowly circulating patterns of wisdom.

The Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, over sixty thousand years old.

She thought to herself that when Gui Yuan returned, it would be time to give him this surprise.

She had never forgotten his discovery that whale rubber could improve a Soul Master's physique.

Over the past two years, Spirit Hall had sent quite a few Soul Douluos and Soul Saints to the seas to hunt whale-type Soul Beasts for the whale rubber inside their bodies, especially ten-thousand-year whale glue.

The emergence of whale rubber had given Bibi Dong an idea at the time-her disciple Hu Liena might have a chance to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as a Quasi-Soul Ancestor.

Hu Liena already followed the spiritual path, and her spiritual power was generally a tier above her own Soul Power Level.

If her spiritual power was still judged insufficient when she reached level forty, she could simply have her absorb a Head Soul Bone ahead of time. That would be enough.

Naturally, her disciple was not the only one to benefit; Spirit Hall's core disciples benefited as well.

After fire-attribute Soul Masters processed the whale rubber, chefs prepared it into various delicacies to serve them.

Of course, Gui Yuan deserved the greatest credit for this.

However, since Gui Yuan had not awakened his Martial Soul before, his reward had been put on hold.

His contribution was considerable and would benefit Spirit Hall for a long, long time. The only reward Spirit Hall could offer was a Soul Bone.

As for a suitable Soul Bone, that would depend on what Martial Soul Gui Yuan awakened.

Bibi Dong gazed at the Soul Bone in her hand, her eyes flickering slightly.

Originally, because Gui Yuan was Yue Guan and Gui Mei's adopted son, although she would have rewarded him with a Soul Bone, it certainly would not have been one over fifty thousand years old.

As for the reason behind that...

But now, Gui Yuan had become her disciple, possessed exceptional talent, and had a Divine Trial, so naturally, she had to reconsider.

This Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, over sixty thousand years old, was her answer.

Although Spirit Hall's treasury held a considerable reserve of Soul Bones, there were actually only a handful over fifty thousand years old.

This skull was one of the better ones among them.

She also intended to have Gui Yuan absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring for his fourth ring.

Gui Yuan's Second Martial Soul was "Soul," also a spiritual-type Martial Soul, but since he had not added any Soul Rings to his Second Martial Soul, his spiritual power attributes were nothing special.

At the rate Gui Yuan's physique was improving, it would definitely be sufficient when he reached level forty, but his spiritual power fell far short. He would have to absorb a Head Soul Bone over fifty thousand years old.

Bibi Dong knew that Gui Yuan had a divine artifact protecting him and was immune to spiritual power, so naturally, he could be immune to Soul Shock.

But could he actively use the divine artifact to kill the resentful spirits within a Soul Ring?

She was uncertain whether Gui Yuan could actively call upon the divine artifact while absorbing a Soul Ring.

A few days later.

In the mixed zone of Star Dou Great Forest.

Gui Yuan and the other two had been searching here for nearly ten days.

There were plenty of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts here, but few suited Gui Yuan.

After their discussions over the past few days, the Raging Blood Iron Birch was one of their most desired targets.

But this kind of plant-type Soul Beast was rare to begin with, and those over ten thousand years old were even harder to find, because it could move and had no fixed dwelling!

"Xiao Yuan, why don't we consider animal types too?" Gui Mei said. "For a third Soul Skill that boosts all attributes, absorbing an animal-type Soul Ring should work too."

Yue Guan said from beside them, "There's no hurry. Let's keep looking. We can discuss that if we really can't find one."

On the evening of the tenth day.

The three were making their way through a dense forest when Yue Guan and Gui Mei stopped simultaneously.

"There's movement," Yue Guan said, lowering his voice.

From a small valley not far ahead, they could faintly hear trees snapping and the ground trembling.

Gui Mei leaped onto a large tree and looked toward the valley.

A moment later, he came back down, his expression somewhat strange.

"There's a ten-thousand-year plant-type Soul Beast up ahead, fighting a bear-type Soul Beast."

"I've never seen that bear-type Soul Beast before, but judging by how bears normally age, it shouldn't have reached ten thousand years yet."

"But..." Gui Mei frowned. "That bear is actually beating the ten-thousand-year plant-type Soul Beast back. The plant-type Soul Beast can't escape at all."

Hearing this, Yue Guan became interested too. "A plant-type Soul Beast? What species?"

"Raging Blood Iron Birch." Yue Guan looked at Gui Yuan. "It's the plant-type Soul Beast we wanted. It's suitable for Xiao Yuan's Third Soul Ring."

Gui Yuan's eyes lit up. "Great!"

A ten-thousand-year Raging Blood Iron Birch had bark as tough as refined iron, and its swinging branches could shatter boulders. It possessed a berserk trait; once it went berserk, all its attributes increased dramatically. This was also where the "Raging Blood" in its name came from.

"Eldest Dad, Second Dad, let's go take a look," Gui Yuan said quietly.

The three crept soundlessly toward the edge of the valley.

Once hidden among the bushes, Gui Yuan could clearly see the battle within the valley.

A pitch-black giant tree was frantically whipping its branches about, the dark red blood patterns on its trunk constantly flashing with light.
