Qin Ming stared blankly in the direction where Lin Mo had disappeared, his usually calm eyes now filled with only confusion and disbelief.
Level 50 - Fifth Soul Ring -
A twelve-year-old Soul King?
These words kept swirling and colliding in his mind, but he couldn't piece together a coherent picture.
He even began to doubt whether he had misheard, or whether Dugu Yan was joking.
Dugu Yan's expression remained calm; her green eyes held only a nonchalant statement of fact.
At this moment, the rest of the Imperial Fighting Team members present all looked completely stunned.
Which of these people doesn't consider themselves geniuses? At their current age, their cultivation level is among the top in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
Lin Mo – 12 years old, Level 50.
This number was like a boulder, pressing down on them and making it almost impossible for them to breathe.
Four-Ring Soul Ancestor at just over twelve years old is already incredibly terrifying; this is an extremely fast cultivation speed across the entire continent.
But what if we convert it to a twelve-year-old Five-Ring Soul King?
Before witnessing it with their own eyes today, if anyone dared to tell them that someone could cultivate to the level of Five-Ring Soul King at the age of twelve, they would definitely laugh at them mercilessly.
They believed the other side had gone mad from practicing cultivation, their minds no longer clear.
But when the truth came to them, they were horrified to discover that they were the ones who had lost their minds.
" Teacher Qin— " Yu Feng's voice was a little hoarse, "What should we do now?"
Qin Ming snapped out of his daze, shook his head vigorously, and Sheer Force suppressed those chaotic thoughts.
"Let's leave here first." Qin Ming forced himself to regain his composure. " The Star Dou Great Forest is in a terrible state right now; it's not suitable for us outsider Soul Master to linger here."
He paused, then said, "You guys stick close to me. The rest of you, maintain formation. We'll find a safe place on the outskirts of the forest to wait for Lin Mo."
Dugu Yan nodded.
She glanced in the direction Lin Mo had left, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
She had confidence in Lin Mo.
On the other side, Lin Mo and Charizard had already chased after the direction of the Soul Beast that Charizard had sensed.
Lin Mo leaned over the dragon's back, the wind whistling in his ears.
In the Charizard's perception, the Fire-type of that Soul Beast was quite pure, which was why the Charizard was able to sense its presence.
In addition to fire, it also possesses considerable light-attribute abilities.
It can be considered a composite attribute Soul Beast with fire as its primary attribute and light as its secondary attribute.
Soul Beast with this attribute are rare, but it matches the abilities that Charizard currently possesses quite well.
If a Fifth Soul Ring with both fire and light attributes could be obtained, it would be the best choice for Charizard at this stage.
Just as Lin Mo was searching for the Soul Beast needed for his Fifth Soul Ring, Shrek Academy suffered an unprecedented blow.
A temporary campsite on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Courtney flickered, illuminating several pale faces.
Zhao Wuji sat by the fire, his face terribly grim.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, wrapped in blankets, leaned against the rock wall. The bandages on their bodies were still in place, and they had new injuries, making them look miserable.
Oscar squatted by the fire, holding a Recovery Big Sausage, but hesitated to put it in his mouth.
His eyes were somewhat vacant, and his face still showed signs of shock.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing sat with their knees drawn up to their sides, a little distance from the fire. Their school uniforms were covered in mud, and their delicate faces were completely pale.
Tang San leaned against a tree, head down, his hands clenched into fists.
His body was trembling slightly.
It wasn't fear, but Rage and despair.
Xiao Wu has been captured!
Right in front of him, he was snatched away by the Titan Giant Ape that suddenly appeared.
They didn't even put up any effective resistance; the Titan Giant Ape simply waved its hand casually, and the resulting gust of wind Whirlwind them all away.
Then, it grabbed Xiao Wu and disappeared into the depths of the forest in a few leaps.
And he could only watch helplessly from the sidelines, unable to put up any decent resistance.
As the "lucky ones" in the Star Dou Great Forest today, the only Soul Hunting Team to face the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Titan Giant Ape head-on, they were able to escape unscathed with only the loss of Xiao Wu, a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster.
This situation was considered unprecedentedly fortunate by the other Soul Hunting teams.
The truth, of course, is that Xiao Wu was taken home by the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming.
But Tang San didn't know that.
All he knew was that Xiao Wu had been captured by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and that Xiao Wu was just a Soul Grandmaster, not even worth an ant in front of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
She will die.
This thought was deeply entrenched in Tang San's mind, making it impossible for him to calm down and think things through!
Tang San was panting heavily, his eyes were bloodshot, and they looked as if they were about to bleed.
Even Oscar, standing beside him, was seeing Tang San like this for the first time. " Xiao San— "
Oscar opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Comfort? At times like these, any comfort seems pale and powerless.
Tang San suddenly raised his head.
Those blood-red eyes stared at Oscar, the madness in them causing Oscar to instinctively take a half-step back.
" Xiao Ao," Tang San's voice was hoarse beyond recognition, "Give me a Mushroom Sausage."
Oscar was stunned. He stared at Tang San's bloodshot eyes, unable to utter the refusal that was on the tip of his tongue.
He couldn't ignore either Tang San's previous kindness in helping him obtain the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent from Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang, or Tang San's crazed appearance.
He gritted his teeth.
Then, in front of everyone, Oscar once again recited the somewhat lewd incantation of his Third Soul Skill: " I Have a Mushroom Sausage!"
Amidst the peculiar fluctuations of Soul Power, a grotesque-looking sausage slowly materialized in his palm.
The other members of Shrek were all intelligent people, and they immediately realized what Tang San was planning to do.
Zhao Wuji also jumped up abruptly. " Tang San! Don't do anything foolish!"
Before Zhao Wuji could stop Tang San, Tang San had already grabbed the Mushroom Sausage from Oscar's hand, stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation, and swallowed it.
Six illusory, transparent wings unfolded behind him.
" Xiao Wu, wait for me."
Tang San let out a low roar, then flapped his wings and soared into the sky, chasing after the Titan Giant Ape in the direction it had left.
" Tang San!" Zhao Wuji roared, but it was too late to stop him.
Just then, Ning Rongrong suddenly stood up.
She raised her right hand, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared. A beam of colorful light shot out from the pagoda and landed on Tang San, who had already flown dozens of meters away.
" The Seven Treasures Have Names, the second of which is: Speed!"
Ning Rongrong's clear voice echoed in the night sky.
She once again displayed her Little Demoness nature, acting impulsively and applying the Second Soul Skill of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to Tang San.
Zhao Wuji stared in the direction where Tang San had disappeared, looking utterly dejected.
Coincidentally, the direction Tang San was chasing overlapped somewhat with the direction Lin Mo was heading.
The only difference is that Lin Mo's direction leads further into the Star Dou Great Forest.
On the other side, Lin Mo and the Charizard had already arrived at the location where the Charizard had sensed the location of the Soul Beast.
This is a circular valley, at the bottom of which is a churning lava lake.
The Red magma bubbled continuously, the rock walls surrounding the valley were baked red by the high temperature, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur.
But Lin Mo's expression was truly unpleasant.
Because someone has already beaten them to it.
In the center of the valley, on the edge of the lava lake, a graceful figure stood quietly.
She was an extremely beautiful woman!
She wore a long, golden palace dress, her long golden hair cascading down to her waist like a waterfall. Her appearance was stunning, her features exquisitely sculpted, and her skin as white as snow.
She radiated endless light and a divine aura, as if she were an Angel Empire who should not exist in this filthy world.
What's most eye-catching are the wings on her back—a pair of pure white wings unfurled behind her, each feather shimmering with a faint golden light.
Beneath her feet, five Soul Ring were slowly rotating.
Two yellow, two purple, and one black.
A standard Soul King configuration.
When Lin Mo saw the person in front of him clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted.
