Lu Yu walked through the woods with little interest, completely ignoring the dangers of the Star Dou Great Forest, while the Somersault Cloud floated overhead the whole time.
Lu Fei followed beside Lu Yu, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.
Lu Yu slowed her pace and turned to look at Lu Fei, saying, " Xiao Fei, this time we need to find a Soul Beast that is around eight thousand years old to be your Third Soul Ring."
Upon hearing this Lu Fei paused, his eyes filled with surprise. "Brother, eight thousand years? My Second Soul Ring only three thousand years old. Jumping to eight thousand years all at once, isn't that too big of a leap?"
Lu Yu smiled and continued walking forward, talking as she went.
"If I knew how to improve spiritual power, I would have wanted you to further refine your physical body and directly absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."
Ten thousand... ten thousand years?
Lu Fei was completely stunned. He was still thinking about trying his best to absorb a ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as his Fourth Soul Ring, just like his brother.
What a turn of events! My brother wanted to absorb a ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring for his Third Soul Ring.
Lu Fei swallowed hard and quickly followed.
"Brother, why don't we go back? Once my physical body is stronger, I want to try the ten-thousand-year one!"
Lu Fei clenched his fists, looking at Lu Yu with a determined gaze.
Lu Yu rolled her eyes and flicked Lu Fei's forehead with a flick.
"What are you thinking! Strength is important, but it's nothing compared to your own life. Everyone wants to improve their strength quickly, but the premise is to ensure their own safety."
What's the use of strength if you can't even guarantee your own Life?
Remember, some risks are worth taking, while others are completely unnecessary; taking them is tantamount to suicide.
Lu Fei covered his forehead and nodded, looking aggrieved.
"Brother, I'll remember that!"
Over the past three hours, they had crossed most of the outer area. At this moment, Lu Fei's clothes were tattered and covered in blood.
Lu Yu truly hadn't expected that Lu Fei could now single-handedly kill a 2200-year-old Ironback Pig.
The 50% physical amplification from the First Soul Ring was a huge help; without this Soul Skill, Lu Fei would have been defeated long ago.
Suddenly, Lu Yu strode forward and blocked Lu Fei's path with her hands outstretched.
There's movement!
Without hesitation, Lu Fei darted behind a large tree, peering cautiously ahead.
Lu Yu smiled wryly, knowing that being cautious was a good thing, and didn't say anything more.
He crouched low and crept forward, walking about 50 meters before his pupils Lu Yu when he saw the creature ahead.
It was Ghost Fire!
Ghost Fire' -the-wisp is similar to Scarlet Flame Fire Spirit, but Scarlet Flame Fire Spirit has no physical form, while Ghost Fire- Ghost Fire is half physical. The most distinctive characteristic of this Soul Beast is that it can burn the soul.
The flames of Ghost Fire do no harm to the physical body or Soul Power, but they are extremely damaging to the soul, and the flames will not stop until the soul is completely burned out.
Looking at the dark, writhing, and eerie Soul Beast, Lu Yu fell into deep thought.
A flame that can burn the soul is definitely much more troublesome than a simple flame.
Lu Fei's flames can be countered by water and ice, but the flames of the Ghost Fire are different; they can only be extinguished by mental power.
This is also the most intractable aspect of this kind of Soul Beast; the flames of the Ghost Fire can only be blocked with mental power, and no physical means can intercept them.
Once Soul Master is tainted by the flames of the Ghost Fire, unless their mental strength surpasses that of the opponent, they will only face certain death.
"Perhaps we can let Xiao Fei try it. We have physical damage, we have magical damage, and now we can add a mental attack. The combination of these three types of damage will put anyone at a great disadvantage."
Lu Yu made a judgment in her mind, but still had some concerns.
Ghost Fire can scorch the soul, so their spiritual power must be considerable. Judging from the size of this will -Ghost Fire, it is probably around six thousand years old, which is not much different from a ten -Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Lu Yu turned to look behind her and waved for Lu Fei to follow.
Lu Fei walked over slowly with light steps, looking in the direction Lu Yu had pointed out. Lu Fei's pupils contracted.
What kind of creature is that?!
Just one glance sent shivers down Lu Fei's Lu Fei. He dared not look directly at it and quickly averted his gaze, his shoulders trembling slightly as he tried his best to suppress his fear.
"Brother, what is this...?"
Before Lu Fei could finish speaking, Lu Yu explained, "This is Ghost Fire that's about six thousand years old; its flames can only burn the soul."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fei's scalp tingled, and he instinctively shrank back, whispering:
"Burning the soul? Wouldn't that mean instant death? This Soul Beast of mine is too bizarre!"
Lu Yu nodded and told Lu Fei her idea. Upon hearing this, Lu Fei's fear of the Ghost Fire vanished, replaced by a burning desire for power.
"Brother, does that mean that once I absorb the Soul Ring of the Ghost Fire, my attacks will have three types of damage simultaneously?"
The combined physical and spiritual impact of the fight increases the win rate the longer it lasts, greatly enhancing combat against opponents of higher levels.
But Lu Fei wasn't blinded by the three combined injuries, and hesitantly asked.
"Brother, this Soul Beast is only six thousand years old, which is far from our original target age. Are you sure you want to choose this one?"
Lu Yu was speechless. You only look at the age and not the characteristics of the Soul Beast, huh?
"Although its age is relatively young, the spiritual power of a six-thousand-year-old Ghost Fire is comparable to that of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. I'm afraid your spiritual power won't be able to withstand it."
Lu Fei remained silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Yu with a determined gaze.
"Brother, let me give it a try. Didn't you say it's only comparable to Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? It's not even that yet!"
Lu Yu smiled and instructed, "Wait here for me. You can finish it off after I've subdued it."
After speaking, Lu Yu summoned the Ruyi Staff with his Soul Power and handed it to the Great Sage. Lu Yu did not know if the Great Sage had a soul, but the Great Sage was essentially Martial Soul, so even if he was injured, he could return to his body and reset.
Fortunately, half of the Ghost Fire was solid; otherwise, Lu Yu wouldn't know how to deal with it and would probably have had to go back to find a spirit-type Soul Master for help.
The dark Ghost Fire floating in mid-air seemed to sense Lu Yu's burst of Soul Power, and the previously suppressed flames trembled violently.
Sizzle--
A faint, eerie sound echoed through the forest, the black flames expanded slightly, and wisps of chilling, bone-deep spiritual pressure quietly spread out.
Despite the lack of any actual pressure, a strange, tingling, and numbing pain emanated from the depths of their minds.
Lu Fei's face paled, and he subconsciously let out a muffled groan.
Lu Yu is alright, after all, he is already Soul King, and he also has the Spirit Enhancement of his Third Soul Skill. He has also absorbed Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, so he has a certain degree of adaptability.
" Great Sage, take it down!"
Lu Yu gave the order.
Upon receiving the order, the Great Sage Sage's Ruyi Staff instantly extended infinitely, striking the will -Ghost Fire from over a hundred meters away.
The Ruyi Staff's momentum continued unabated, extending forward, seemingly carrying the Ghost Fire fire away to who knows where.
" Xiao Fei will be waiting here."
Lu Yu gave a word of advice.
He raised his hand and summoned the Somersault Cloud, which the Great Sage rode to chase after the Ghost Fire. If they were outmatched, they could quickly escape on the Somersault Cloud.
