The images on the sky screen continued. With Spirit Hall's cultivation resources supporting him, Qian Xunji soon broke through to level 60. It was time to hunt for another Soul Ring.
Qian Daoliu also attached great importance to this hunt, dispatching several Titled Douluos to hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for Qian Xunji so he could obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Inside the Star Dou Great Forest.
Several figures streaked through the dense woods.
Bang!
A figure landed, and several others behind him immediately came to a stop as well.
Dressed in luxurious robes embroidered with gold thread, he had a solemn face and a commanding presence. He was Mighty Lion Douluo, the level-96 Super Douluo from the Worship Hall.
He was also the elder leading this hunt for a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. The people beside him were all Titled Douluos from Spirit Hall.
"We're nearly at the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest. Everyone must proceed with utmost caution."
"Yes, Mighty Lion Douluo!"
The people beside him answered.
In the town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Qian Xunji walked through the town. Two years had passed, and nothing in the town had changed, yet that lovely figure was nowhere to be seen again.
He had also sent people to investigate Ah Yin's origins, but they had found nothing.
It was as though this person had never existed in human society at all.
Because of this, Qian Xunji had completely lost all news of Ah Yin over the past two years.
Qian Xunji stood beneath the eaves where the two had parted back then, gazing thoughtfully at the spot where that girl had once stood.
Not far away, Yue Guan and Gui Mei watched Qian Xunji.
Both wore wistful expressions.
"The young master has sent plenty of people to investigate that girl's whereabouts over these two years. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a scrap of news."
"Where do you think that girl could be? Even our Spirit Hall couldn't find any information."
Gui Mei leaned against a wall, a hint of amusement in his expression.
"Who knows!"
"It's just a pity that our young master is so devoted!"
Beside him, Yue Guan spoke in a soft, feminine voice, his thumb and middle finger pinched together like an orchid.
Boom!
Just then, a tremendous explosion suddenly rang out.
Gui Mei's and Yue Guan's expressions changed. They instantly leaped onto a rooftop and looked into the distance.
It came from the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest!
Terrifying fluctuations of Soul Power erupted on the horizon!
"Have Elder Mighty Lion and the others already made their move?"
Gui Mei asked quietly.
"It seems so."
A yearning expression appeared on Yue Guan's face. When would he ever attain such terrifying strength?
Just then, movement came from behind them. The two turned to look, then bowed in greeting.
"Young master!"
The newcomer was Qian Xunji. He walked straight past Yue Guan and Gui Mei, looking at the phantom of a lion that had suddenly appeared on the horizon.
That was Mighty Lion Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar!
It seemed the hunt had already begun!
"Come on. Let's enter the Soul Beast forest too!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were immediately startled by his words.
"Young master, Elder Mighty Lion and the others are hunting a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the forest. The Soul Beast forest is fraught with danger right now. We should just wait here."
Gui Mei hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"It's too boring here. We can simply avoid going deep into the core region of the Soul Beast forest."
"With you two here, could there possibly be any danger on the outskirts of the Soul Beast forest?"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance.
With the two of them present, there really were no Soul Beasts on the outskirts that could threaten the young master's safety.
But it wasn't the ten thousand safe chances they feared-it was the one chance something went wrong!
While the two were still considering how to persuade Qian Xunji, he leaped up and flew straight toward the Soul Beast forest.
Seeing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei hurriedly called out, "Young master!" and chased after him.
Meanwhile, inside the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Seventh Soul Skill! Martial Soul Avatar, Blazing Lion!"
Mighty Lion Douluo shouted fiercely in midair. His Soul Ring abruptly expanded, and an enormous red lion wreathed in flames, with two horns on its head, appeared behind him.
"Roar!"
The flaming lion let out a heaven-shaking roar and charged at the Soul Beast before it, known as an Angel Unicorn.
This kind of Soul Beast was extremely rare. There were probably only a few on the entire Douluo Continent, and it was exceptionally suited to the Angel Martial Soul.
Spirit Hall had investigated for years before finally finding traces of this Angel Unicorn in the Soul Beast forest. Moreover, this Soul Beast was approaching a hundred thousand years in age, making it highly suitable for Qian Xunji.
The horn on the Angel Unicorn's head shone, and it charged straight into the flaming lion.
Boom!
The two collided!
Red and white Soul Power exploded, forming a ring of shock waves that swept in every direction. Trees snapped and rocks flew, while the surrounding Titled Douluos raised their arms to protect themselves.
"You can withstand my Seventh Soul Skill! Good, then try this move of mine!"
Amid the dazzling light that made it impossible to keep one's eyes open, Mighty Lion Douluo's voice rang out again.
Mighty Lion Douluo soared high into the air. His Martial Soul, the Blazing Lion, appeared behind him and threw back its head in a long howl.
"Roar!"
"Ninth Soul Skill! Soul-Shattering Heaven-Slaying Roar!"
Mighty Lion Douluo punched repeatedly, unleashing several balls of light waves. The Angel Unicorn spread its wings and dodged them one after another. The light waves it evaded blasted into the ground, leaving several huge craters.
Watching the Angel Unicorn dodge repeatedly, Mighty Lion Douluo curled his lips into a cold smile.
"Roar!"
A lion's roar rang out. Space seemed to ripple like the surface of water, the ripples spreading outward in circles. The dodging Angel Unicorn instantly froze.
"Now! Attack the Angel Unicorn with everything you've got!"
Mighty Lion Douluo's voice rang out.
The surrounding Titled Douluos also began unleashing their Soul Skills!
"Ninth Soul Skill! Black Crystal Thrust!"
"Ninth Soul Skill! Annihilation Light-Devouring Wave!"
Mighty Lion Douluo unleashed several more balls of light waves as well!
Several Soul Skills blazing with different brilliant lights struck the Angel Unicorn, making it let out a neigh!
Then, like a bird with broken wings, it plummeted straight down and hit the ground with a bang.
Mighty Lion Douluo slowly descended. Looking at the unicorn Soul Beast covered in wounds, he broke into a smile.
With this Angel Unicorn Martial Soul, the young master's strength was certain to soar!
"Take it away!"
"Yes, Revered Mighty Lion!"
One of the surrounding Titled Douluos answered.
But just then, a streak of pink-white light suddenly shot over, instantly sending the Titled Douluo approaching it flying backward.
Only when the pink-white light dissipated and revealed its true form did everyone see that it was a Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Beast!
Although it was only a Soft Bone Rabbit, the fluctuations coming from its body startled every Titled Douluo present!
Even Mighty Lion Douluo's expression turned grave.
This Soft Bone Rabbit was actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
"Good, excellent! Another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
"It seems this old man will be taking two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts today!"
With that, Mighty Lion Douluo waved his hand.
"Capture this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
The surrounding Titled Douluos immediately began attacking!
Battle broke out once more!
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Soul Beast forest.
Qian Xunji, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei were making their way ever deeper into the Soul Beast forest.
Qian Xunji dropped from a branch. Just as he was about to leap onto a branch ahead, a figure slid past him from behind and blocked his path.
"Young master, the inner region of the Soul Beast forest lies ahead. Going any closer will be dangerous. Let's stop here."
Yue Guan spoke with a worried expression.
Just then, a shadow appeared beside Yue Guan. It dispersed, revealing Gui Mei.
"Young master, Yue Guan is right. We'd best stop here."
Hearing this, Qian Xunji did not stubbornly continue onward.
"All right. Although I wanted to see Revered Mighty Lion fight a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, if there's danger, forget it!"
Seeing Qian Xunji agree, Yue Guan and Gui Mei both breathed a sigh of relief.
Boom!
Just then, terrifying fluctuations of Soul Power came from the distance.
The three froze, then hurriedly flew to the treetops and looked into the distance.
They saw a lion with two horns on its head throw back its head in a long howl, while several figures around it were fighting a Soul Beast.
That Soul Beast was wrapped in pink light, making its true form impossible to see.
"Fifth Soul Skill! Lie Yan Barrier!"
The lion Martial Soul appeared before Mighty Lion Douluo and violently collided with the charging mass of pink light.
Hum!
Terrifying sound waves from the collision surged outward in all directions!
The mass of pink light retreated, and the light vanished, revealing a small, adorable pink rabbit.
Mighty Lion Douluo's expression, however, was exceedingly grave.
He had not expected the Soft Bone Rabbit he had thought nothing of to be so troublesome!
"Ninth Soul Skill! Kiss of the Datura!"
The Soft Bone Rabbit abruptly froze in midair.
"Ninth Soul Skill! Boundless Sea Halberd!"
Just then, a clear-blue halberd shot toward the Soft Bone Rabbit. With these two Titled Douluos working together, they were about to injure it!
But a golden light suddenly rose from the Soft Bone Rabbit's body, and the halberd was reflected straight back.
"What!"
The Titled Douluo who had unleashed that Soul Skill cried out in shock!
Mighty Lion Douluo's gaze sharpened as well.
This Soft Bone Rabbit's Soul Skill could grant immunity to physical attacks!
