Time flies.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
For the past two months, Xiao Xuan has spent almost all his time in the Sunset Forest.
Besides hunting Soul Beast and upgrading his Soul Ring, he also did not neglect his Spiritual Power cultivation.
With the amplification from his Head Soul Bone, coupled with his constant battles with Soul Beast during this period, he has become increasingly adept at using his Spiritual Power.
Especially in terms of attacks.
After two months of continuous exploration, he has been able to control his Spiritual Power more precisely and directly attack the enemy's mental consciousness.
Against some Thousand-Year Soul Beast with weaker Spiritual Power, it can even inflict severe damage instantly with a mental attack!
In this way, combined with the bamboo spear Martial Soul, hunting down Thousand-Year Soul Beast becomes much easier.
Of course, if you encounter a Soul Beast that is older or has stronger Spiritual Power, the effectiveness of this attack will be greatly reduced.
You might even face a psychological backlash from them!
However, Xiao Xuan was not disappointed by this.
After all, Spiritual Power attacks were a technique he had only recently developed.
It's quite remarkable that such progress has been made in such a short time.
As for the gains in Soul Ring, they were even more astonishing!
After two whole months of hunting and fusion, Xiao Xuan finally upgraded his first and Second Soul Ring to the level of 9,999 years!
Not only that!
As they continued to fuse with various Soul Ring during this period, their two Soul Skill also gained a variety of different attribute characteristics.
Now, both the First Soul Skill and Second Soul Skill are far more powerful than they were two months ago!
It's a pity.
He was still one step away from achieving the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring he had envisioned.
It wasn't that Xiao Xuan didn't want to continue leveling up.
High-level Soul Beast in Sunset Forest are not as easy to find as one might imagine.
Soul Beast with a cultivation level of nine thousand years are especially rare!
After all, according to the fusion rules of the Three-in-One Fusion of All Things System, each upgrade requires two Soul Ring that meet the requirements.
However, Soul Ring cannot be stored for long periods of time.
This means that Xiao Xuan must first find two Soul Beast that meet the requirements, and then complete the hunting and fusion within a short period of time.
Otherwise, even if you successfully hunt down a Soul Beast, if you can't find a second one in a long time, you can only watch helplessly as the Soul Ring dissipates.
The older the Soul Beast, the more difficult it is to collect two Soul Ring that meet the requirements.
Over this period of time, Xiao Xuan had searched almost every suitable area in Sunset Forest.
However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find Soul Beast that meet the requirements.
"It seems unrealistic to upgrade both Soul Ring to ten thousand years in Sunset Forest."
A clearing in the woods.
Looking at the two Purple Soul Ring on his body, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
However, this regret only lasted for a moment.
After all, in just two months, he upgraded two Thousand-Year Soul Ring to the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine-year level!
Such a harvest is already amazing enough!
Moreover, his two Soul Ring are not just about increasing the age limit!
The various attributes and characteristics gained during the fusion process also caused significant changes to the two Soul Skill.
Overall, Xiao Xuan was quite satisfied with his trip to Sunset Forest.
"But we've already come this far, we can't just give up halfway, can we?"
Xiao Xuan stroked his chin.
Now that both of his Soul Ring are just one step away from reaching ten thousand years, he naturally cannot give up now.
Since we can't find a suitable Soul Beast in Sunset Forest, let's try another place!
Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, if we're talking about the place with the most abundant high-level Soul Beast, then the Star Dou Great Forest is undoubtedly the place to be!
As one of the largest gathering places for Soul Beast on the continent, the number of Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest far surpasses that of the Sunset Forest.
Let alone a nine-thousand-year-old Soul Beast.
Even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are not uncommon there!
With his current strength, coupled with his Spiritual Power attack methods, as long as he doesn't go too far, there's no need to worry too much about safety.
With this in mind, Xiao Xuan quickly made a decision.
"It seems the next stop is the Star Dou Great Forest!"
However, he was not in a hurry to go directly to the Star Dou Great Forest.
After all, having spent the last two months in Sunset Forest, the supplies he carried had been almost entirely used up.
Moreover, the Star Dou Great Forest is not close to Heaven Dou City.
Who knows how long I'll be staying here?
Naturally, preparations should be made in advance.
"Perfect timing. Let's go back to Heaven Dou City for a few days to rest and replenish our supplies."
Having made up his mind, Xiao Xuan didn't delay any longer.
He immediately withdrew his Martial Soul and turned to walk towards the outer edge of Sunset Forest.
He planned to return to Heaven Dou City first, and then set off for the Star Dou Great Forest after everything was ready.
Heaven Dou City.
After returning to Heaven Dou City, Xiao Xuan temporarily put aside his cultivation and planned to rest for a few days.
After all, he had been staying in Sunset Forest for the past two months, hunting Soul Beast and cultivating his Spiritual Power.
I've hardly had any rest.
Now that I've finally managed to come back, I naturally need to relax.
We'll also replenish some supplies to prepare for our journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, what Xiao Xuan didn't expect was...
The day after he returned to Heaven Dou City, the Crown Prince's residence actually sent people to his door.
"Young Master Xiao Xuan!"
"His Highness the Crown Prince requests your presence!"
Looking at the respectful guards in front of him, Xiao Xuan was slightly taken aback.
"Brother Qinghe is looking for me?"
But soon, he realized something.
Could it be that there's news about the Thousand-Year Lone Bamboo?
You should know that two months ago, he specifically asked Xue Qinghe to continue to help inquire about the whereabouts of the Thousand-Year Lone Bamboo.
Now that they've suddenly sent someone over, they might actually have some clues!
With that in mind, Xiao Xuan didn't delay any longer.
He immediately followed the guards and hurried towards the Crown Prince's residence.
Half an hour later.
Inside the Crown Prince's residence.
"Haha! Brother Xiao!"
"It's been months! How have you been?"
As soon as Xiao Xuan entered the living room, he heard a familiar laugh.
Look up.
Xue Qinghe was sitting in the hall. When he entered, she immediately stood up with a smile to greet him.
Brother Qinghe!
Xiao Xuan smiled and cupped his hands in return.
"Haha! It's been a few months, and Brother Qinghe is even more spirited than before!"
"Brother Xiao, you flatter me!"
Xue Qinghe smiled and shook his head.
"I've heard that Brother Xiao has been training in the Sunset Forest for the past two months?"
"Good."
Xiao Xuan nodded.
"Since I had nothing better to do, I decided to cultivate in the Sunset Forest for a while."
"I see!"
Xue Qinghe nodded slightly.
He then looked Xiao Xuan up and down, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.
I wonder if it's just my imagination.
He felt that Xiao Xuan seemed to have changed quite a bit in the two months since they last met.
Although nothing was apparent on the surface, the aura it subtly exuded was more refined than before.
Especially those eyes.
It appears calm on the surface, yet it subtly gives off a sense of being difficult to understand.
However, Xue Qinghe did not ask any further questions.
After all, every Soul Master has their own secrets.
Especially for a talented young man like Xiao Xuan, it's even less likely that he would casually reveal his trump cards to others.
