Target: Soul Beasts Over Three Thousand Years Old!

Hearing Qian Xunji's question, Lin Chuan nodded and said:

"Teacher, I've successfully reached level twenty."

Qian Xunji was not the only one listening. Chrysanthemum Guan looked at Lin Chuan curiously and asked:

"Your Holiness, how many years old a Second Soul Ring can His Highness absorb now?"

Qian Xunji took Lin Chuan's little hand and examined him. She said in surprise:

"Chuan'er can try one over three thousand years old, or even five thousand."

Yue Guan was stunned when he heard that.

Gui Mei was usually a man of few words, but even he spoke up. "That's the age of an ordinary Soul Ancestor's Fourth Soul Ring."

He was shocked.

After all, the Fourth Soul Ring he had absorbed was about the same age.

Was this the effect of Whale Rubber?

Pink-haired Bibi Dong, who had grown a little taller than before, looked utterly incredulous. She said:

"Teacher, is stinky junior brother's physique really that strong?"

She had two Power Attack System Martial Souls, giving her a natural advantage in physique.

On top of that, she had used Whale Rubber to temper her body, with medicinal baths to help.

Even so, the Second Soul Ring she had absorbed was only around two thousand years old.

She had originally been rather pleased with herself, certain that she could completely suppress her stinky junior brother.

Yet her teacher was now saying that stinky junior brother could withstand a Second Soul Ring three thousand years old, or even five thousand.

A healing-type Soul Master's body was tougher than hers, a Battle Soul Master's. Did that really make sense?

Qian Xunji rubbed Lin Chuan's head and said, "I've checked him repeatedly. There's absolutely no mistake."

"Chuan'er, do you feel confident yourself?"

Lin Chuan nodded.

This was different from when he had absorbed his First Soul Ring. He had grown much stronger.

Over the past year or so, he had absorbed plenty of Whale Rubber, including a piece nearly ten thousand years old.

Perhaps he was a natural genius at cultivating with drugs, for he had absorbed considerably more of their medicinal effects than Bibi Dong.

On top of that, he had a Thousand-Year Soul Ring as his first, and had absorbed one more Soul Bone than Bibi Dong.

It was only natural that his body's limit was higher than hers.

After the assessment, the group of five set off for the Star Dou Great Forest once more.

The Star Dou Great Forest was a vast green ocean.

The roars of its many vicious Soul Beasts rose and fell.

This time, Qian Xunji and the others did not linger in the area where they had hunted the Light-Weaving Butterfly. Instead, they ventured deeper into the mixed region.

After all, they were hunting a Soul Beast over three thousand years old this time.

Qian Xunji said cautiously:

"Once we enter this area, we must be more careful, so we don't stir up the powerful Soul Beasts in the core region."

Yue Guan nodded and said:

"Your Holiness, we only need to restrain our presences somewhat."

"Besides, with the help of our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, we can fight even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast if one appears. We might even obtain a Soul Bone."

Lin Chuan thought, Was Chrysanthemum Guan this confident at this point?

But to make his own Soul Beast hunt go more smoothly, he said:

"Teacher, perhaps there's no need to go to so much trouble."

When Lin Chuan suddenly spoke, everyone looked at him.

Bibi Dong wondered, What's stinky junior brother up to now?

Lin Chuan's purple First Soul Ring appeared.

Chrysanthemum Guan and Gui Mei were surprised.

They knew that Lin Chuan's First Soul Ring was a Hundred-Year Soul Ring. How had it become a Thousand-Year Soul Ring?

But as subordinates, they knew that some questions should not be asked, and so they could not ask them.

Qian Xunji asked, "Chuan'er, what are you...?"

Lin Chuan did not answer her.

He used his First Soul Skill, and the seven-colored woven light settled over Bibi Dong.

A wondrous sight followed.

Before the eyes of Qian Xunji, Chrysanthemum Guan, and Gui Mei, Bibi Dong vanished completely.

The three of them were shocked.

Even with their strength, unless they deliberately searched for her, they would completely overlook Bibi Dong, who was right beside them.

This concealment simply defied the heavens.

Qian Xunji said in delighted surprise:

"Your invisibility can work on us too?"

Lin Chuan said modestly:

"I only figured it out recently."

Bibi Dong, now invisible, puffed out her little cheeks and said:

"Stinky junior brother, your First Soul Skill is clearly a healing skill, so how does it have so many uses?"

"Are you going to leave anyone else a way to live?"

Seeing how sour Bibi Dong looked, Lin Chuan could not help laughing.

Qian Xunji, however, was in a fine mood. She said:

"With Chuan'er's concealment, our Soul Hunting trip will go even more smoothly."

Under the cover of Lin Chuan's Soul Skill, the group advanced even faster.

Some Soul Beasts did not even notice the humans passing by them.

Only a few Soul Beasts with exceptionally keen senses of smell noticed anything at all.

After traveling on for quite some time, they spotted a giant white bird perched atop a massive ancient tree.

Rings of white light rippled outward around it.

Yue Guan said in admiration, "That's a two-thousand-year-old Holy Light Falcon. It flies extremely fast, and its light attribute is quite pure."

Qian Xunji shook her head and said:

"Although two thousand years is good, and its attribute and form suit Chuan'er, it's still not old enough."

"Let's keep looking."

"Times really have changed."

Yue Guan could not help sighing.

It was precisely because of the Whale Rubber Lin Chuan had discovered that Soul Master age limits had become a thing of the past.

Qian Xunji looked at Lin Chuan proudly and said:

"This is all thanks to Chuan'er."

"If Chuan'er hadn't discovered how to use Whale Rubber, how could our Spirit Hall have gained such a lead in Soul Ring ages?"

Hearing his teacher's praise, Lin Chuan did not take the credit:

"Without your trust, Teacher, and the support of Spirit Hall's accumulated resources, I'm afraid these ideas of mine could only have attracted danger and covetous eyes."

Hearing that, Qian Xunji felt as though she had taken a sip of sweet wine.

Her disciple was so sensible.

Bibi Dong pursed her lips and said:

"I bet stinky junior brother's tail is already pointing at the sky in his heart, isn't it?"

Lin Chuan glanced at Bibi Dong.

This Haji Dong just can't bear not trading a few barbs with me, can she?

"It seems senior sister has had too much time on her hands lately. How about I bring you a few more books when we get back?"

Bibi Dong's teeth itched with anger. "If stinky junior brother dares to set me up, I'll stick spider silk all over your bed when we get back!"

Qian Xunji smiled helplessly. "You two, stop fooling around."

She spoke toward the depths of the forest. "Let's keep going. Chuan'er's Second Soul Ring must be chosen carefully."

As they ventured farther in, the presences of the Soul Beasts they encountered grew stronger. Even Qian Xunji had to take them seriously.

Although they encountered quite a few light-type Soul Beasts along the way, very few were compatible with Lin Chuan.

Just then, Qian Xunji suddenly raised a hand, signaling everyone to stop.

Lin Chuan was a little puzzled. What has Teacher found?

A trace of excitement appeared on Qian Xunji's exquisitely beautiful face.

"There's a Soul Beast ahead. Its light attribute is so pure that even my Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul has responded to it."
