The Soul Hunting Forest in the north of Notting City, although not as good as the Sunset Forest and the Star Forest, still has many types of low-level soul beasts.
Ye Liangchen thinks that the age of the soul beasts in this forest should not exceed 3,000 years. After all, these are only the soul beasts raised in the empire.
In addition to the soldiers guarding the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest, there is also the Spirit Hall Law Enforcement Group, which patrols the forest regularly to prevent poaching.
In fact, the Law Enforcement Group is mainly to prevent those soul hunting teams from illegally poaching. After all, in addition to the soul rings and soul bones, the meat, skin and teeth of soul beasts are very valuable. Many free soul masters will take risks.
"Awoo..."
"Swish..."
Deep in the forest, many soul beasts of ten or one hundred years old were walking in the forest. Seeing Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhuqing's intrusion, they all became alert.
"Meow..."
Zhu Zhuqing immediately summoned her spirit and transformed into a fierce cat-eared girl, ready to respond to the attack of soul beasts at any time.
Ye Liangchen also took out a long sword from his soul guide to guard against these soul beasts.
"Awoo..."
Suddenly, two three-hundred-year-old Nether Wolves rushed out of the woods, roaring and rushing towards the two.
The two Nether Wolves were about 1.5 meters long, as big as calves, and had a yellow glow on their bodies, which was the mark of a hundred-year-old soul beast.
"Brother Chen, be careful."
"Netherworld Stab"
Zhu Zhuqing directly activated the first soul skill, transformed into an agile Netherworld spirit cat, and his fingers turned into sharp claws, quickly grabbing the two Netherworld wolves.
"Roar..."
Ye Liangchen blasted out with a tiger-shaped fist, and his soul power turned into a huge tiger claw, repelling the two Netherworld wolves.
"Awoo..."
After being repelled, the two Netherworld wolves stood in the distance, staring at the two with bared teeth, ready to launch a second wave of attack at any time.
"Zhuqing, I will assist you. You can practice with these two hundred-year-old netherworld wolves, but don't kill them. Just fight them off. If you kill them, the smell of blood may attract other powerful soul beasts."
"Shua shua..."
Ye Liangchen quickly summoned the goddess martial spirit and activated the second soul skill, blessing Zhu Zhuqing.
"Life blessing."
A green light shot out from Ye Liangchen's hand and poured into Zhu Zhuqing's body, instantly doubling her combat power.
"Brother Chen, your auxiliary soul skill is so powerful. It feels like my overall strength has increased several times."
Zhu Zhuqing never thought that Ye Liangchen actually had such a powerful auxiliary skill. It was too unexpected.
"Go and try it!"
Ye Liangchen retracted his martial spirit, and his consciousness spread out, alerting the area within a hundred meters. The riot of the two hundred-year-old netherworld wolves also scared away other soul beasts under a hundred years old.
"Okay, brother Chen."
"Shua shua..."
Zhu Zhuqing rushed over quickly, and saw a residual image flashing by. In an instant, he rushed in front of the two hundred-year-old netherworld wolves and started the bullying mode.
"Ha..."
"Awoo..."
The increase in strength also made Zhu Zhuqing bolder. The two hundred-year-old Nether Wolves were beaten back by her powerful strength.
"Awoo... Awoo..."
Three minutes later, the two hundred-year-old Nether Wolves scurried away with their tails between their legs.
The Nether Wolf wanted to have a good meal today, but it didn't expect to run into a tigress. It was beaten so hard that it suspected that the wolf had given birth.
"Brother Chen, what kind of martial soul is your beautiful goddess martial soul? I remember that when you saved me, it seemed to have a entanglement function. How come it has an auxiliary skill now?"
Zhu Zhuqing ran to Ye Liangchen and asked curiously. At this moment, she still maintained a strong strength and felt that she could fight against the Soul Sect.
"My goddess martial spirit has two abilities: attack and support. The support soul skill just added to you is called life blessing, which can increase all your attributes by 30% within 10 minutes."
"All attributes increased by 30%? No wonder I feel that my strength has increased several times. Brother Chen, your martial spirit actually has two abilities: attack and support. It's amazing."
"Drizzle, it's nothing. Let's go! Let's continue to look for soul beasts."
"Oh! OK."
The two chatted while heading deep into the forest. Ye Liangchen planned to find a two thousand year old lightning leopard for the little cat. After all, with the help of his cheating, the girl's physical strength has been greatly improved. With her current strength, it is not a big problem to absorb a two thousand year old soul ring.
The thousand year old soul beast is a rare animal in the Soul Hunting Forest. The two searched for a day but still did not find a suitable one.
"Zhu Qing, let's stay here tonight and look for it tomorrow. If there is still no suitable one, we will go directly to the Star Forest."
"Brother Chen, I will follow your arrangement."
In the evening, the two found a small cave of about three square meters and planned to spend the night there.
"Brother Chen, this cave is not very big. Let's cut some tree trunks and make a simple door to block the cave entrance for safety."
"Okay, no problem."
They did what they said. Men and women worked together and it was not tiring. The two of them directly used knives to cut some tree trunks as thick as bowls into pieces, and then found some ropes to tie the tree trunks together to make a simple guardrail to block the cave entrance.
In order to be safer, Ye Liangchen also moved some big stones and built a wall outside the cave entrance.
Zhu Zhuqing sprinkled a layer of medicine powder outside the cave entrance to prevent snakes and insects from approaching, and also placed many leaves outside the cave entrance to cover the entire cave entrance.
"Zhuqing, I didn't expect you to have so much experience in surviving in the wild!" Ye Liangchen was also surprised to see the kitten's skillful methods.
"Brother Chen, I have been to the forest with my aunt before. I learned all this from her. As a soul master, I must learn to survive in the wild. At home, I am often suppressed by my sister and cannot practice well, so I have to hide in the mountains to practice..."
Zhu Zhuqing also told Ye Liangchen some interesting stories about her survival in the wild. People are forced to do it.
"Eat some dry food first. The conditions are limited. We can't cook tonight. We can only use some dry food to deal with it."
Ye Liangchen lit a fire, and then took out a pot of water and some dry food from the soul guide as dinner.
"Don't worry! Brother Chen, I've been accustomed to this kind of life."
Zhu Zhuqing felt that being with the person she loved, even if it was just drinking water, was incomparably sweet.
"Awoo..."
"Squeak..."
In the dead of night, the calls of various soul beasts continued to be heard from the distance of the forest, which made people's scalps numb.
Ye Liangchen could even feel that there were soul beasts passing by a few dozen meters away from the cave entrance. Fortunately, the two of them blocked the cave entrance before, otherwise they might really be discovered by those soul beasts.
"Brother Chen, you go to sleep, I'll help you keep watch."
"Let's go together. The cave entrance is protected by a wooden door and a stone wall. It should be safe. We need to get enough rest and look for soul beasts again tomorrow."
"Okay, Brother Chen."
The two of them took out their sleeping bags, spread out the quilts, and went in directly to sleep.
Just when Ye Liangchen was sleeping in a daze, a figure came in directly and woke him up all of a sudden.
"Kitten! Why did you get here?"
Looking at the kitten sitting next to him, Ye Liangchen was speechless. If he continued like this, something would go wrong sooner or later.
"Brother Chen, I can't sleep alone. Can you chat with me?"
The kitten found a lame excuse and lay down directly next to Ye Liangchen.
"Okay! It's up to you, but you can't take advantage of me!" Ye Liangchen waved his hand indifferently.
"Pfft...! Brother Chen, shouldn't we women say this?" Zhu Zhuqing was directly amused by this guy.
"Auntie Lan and the others once told me that boys should remember to protect themselves when they are outside, especially when they encounter female hooligans."
After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he moved to the side, leaving the kitten speechless.
"Brother Chen, do you think I'm a female hooligan?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Liangchen as if she would eat him, so she twisted her mouth, grabbed his hand, and pulled him to her side.
"Kitten! You don't follow martial ethics and sneak attack."
Ye Liangchen felt that the kitten had become crooked, and the quiet kitten was gone.
"Brother Chen, don't talk, go to sleep!"
"Didn't you say you wanted to chat?"
"I don't want to chat now, go to sleep."
Zhu Zhuqing hugged Ye Liangchen's arm tightly, feeling a sense of security, a smile on her face, and then gradually fell into a deep sleep.
There was no conversation all night, and the next morning, the two were awakened by a faint sound.
"Ouch..."
"Bang bang..."
The sound kept coming from a distance, mixed with the sound of fighting.
"Brother Chen, it seems that there are soul beasts fighting."
"Let's go and have a look. Maybe there is a soul beast suitable for you."
The two stood up, walked out of the cave, found a stream, washed up briefly, and then quietly sneaked in the direction of the soul beasts fighting.
"Awoo..."
"Roar..."
When the two came to a valley a thousand meters away, they found a ghost leopard and a wild boar fighting. Both soul beasts were a thousand years old, with the ghost leopard as high as 2000 years old and the wild boar as high as 2500 years old.
"Zhu Qing, if you can't find the lightning leopard, just kill the ghost leopard as your third soul ring."
Ye Liangchen decided to let the kitten absorb the soul ring of the 2,000-year-old ghost leopard. Anyway, her martial soul is the Nether Spirit Cat, which has similar attributes to the ghost leopard.
"Brother Chen, you decide! I will listen to your arrangement."
The ghost leopard is a top-level animal soul ring with powerful strength and speed. Zhu Zhuqing also thinks that this kind of soul beast may bring different changes to herself.
"Zhu Qing, let me tell you, I heard that there is a titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall, called Ghost Leopard Douluo, and his spirit is the ghost leopard, which is considered the top among beast spirits."
"Ghost Leopard Douluo? So powerful!"
Zhu Zhuqing was surprised to hear that there was such a strong man in the Spirit Hall. So the ghost leopard spirit is much stronger than the nether spirit cat spirit.
"This ghost leopard is 2,000 years old, Zhu Qing, the elixir I asked you to take before has laid a strong physical foundation for you. Now you want to challenge your limits, do you have the confidence?"
Ye Liangchen directly told the age of the ghost leopard, so that the girl could be mentally prepared.
"Brother Chen, since I met you, my strength has improved a lot, and my strength is at least twice as strong as before. I have confidence."
Zhu Zhuqing learned about Ye Liangchen's heaven-defying spirit ring configuration and wanted to challenge her own limits.
"Then let's wait for the opportunity and then take action."
The two hid in a big tree and watched the two soul beasts fight quietly.
"Roar..."
"Bang bang..."
The battle between the two thousand-year-old soul beasts was very destructive. Within a hundred meters, dust and gravel flew everywhere, and many trees were broken.
After an hour, the wild boar was finally at a disadvantage. Its stomach was torn open by the ghost leopard and it was dying. But the ghost leopard was not feeling well either. One of its hind legs was pierced by the wild boar's fangs, and one of its front legs was bitten off. After the battle, both sides were injured.
"Zhuqing, do it."
"Understood."
The two immediately summoned their martial spirits and killed the two soul beasts.
"Life Blessing."
Ye Liangchen directly used his second soul skill to assist Zhu Zhuqing, instantly increasing her overall strength by 30%, allowing her to fight to her heart's content.
"Roar..."
Although the ghost leopard had broken two legs, it was still very powerful. Seeing two humans coming to kill it, how could it be willing to die? So it opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, ready to counterattack at any time.
"Shua..."
"Zhuqing, torture the ghost leopard, don't kill it all at once, torture it as much as possible, torture it until it doubts the leopard's life, then kill it."
After Ye Liangchen killed the wild boar with a sword, he remembered that soul beasts under extreme resentment have a high probability of producing external soul bones, so he asked Zhu Zhuqing to give it a try.
"Brother Chen, don't worry!"
Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't know why she had to do this, she did whatever Ye Liangchen said.
"Meow..."
"Roar..."
Zhu Zhuqing now has the support of Ye Liangchen and is very powerful. In addition, the ghost leopard has two legs broken and has little strength left, so she was suppressed by Zhu Zhuqing throughout the whole process.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Ao ao ao..."
After 20 minutes, the ghost leopard was beaten all over. Zhu Zhuqing directly launched the final attack and killed the ghost leopard with a sword.
"Replenish your soul power, adjust your state to the best, and prepare to absorb this soul ring."
Ye Liangchen took out two soul power pills and put them into Zhu Zhuqing's mouth to keep her in the best state.
"Buzz..."
As the ghost leopard died, the purple soul energy gradually condensed into a large purple circle.
"Brother Chen, I'm going to start."
Zhu Zhuqing sat cross-legged on the ground, summoned her martial soul, and began to absorb this two thousand year limited soul ring.
"Ahhh..."
The moment the purple soul ring was put on Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul, a powerful force rushed into her body, causing her to scream.
"Buzz..."
"Zhuqing, I'll help you, you immediately mobilize the energy in the soul ring and integrate it into your body."
Ye Liangchen used his life to bless the soul skills and bless Zhu Zhuqing.
"Brother Chen, don't worry, I can handle it."
After receiving the help, Zhu Zhuqing quickly suppressed the energy in the soul with a powerful force and began to absorb the soul ring with all her strength.
An hour later, a tiny blood bead appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's body. Ye Liangchen used his spiritual sense to sense the situation in her body and found that there was no big problem.
Zhu Zhuqing kept telling herself in her heart that if she wanted to break her fate, she had to become stronger.
Human potential is infinite. If you don't push yourself, you won't know how much potential you have.
Zhu Zhuqing just kept pushing herself. After three hours, she finally succeeded in absorbing it. A powerful aura burst out from her body. She successfully advanced to Soul Master and her soul power reached level 32.
"Brother Chen, I succeeded."
Zhu Zhuqing jumped up from the ground and threw herself into Ye Liangchen's arms, cheering excitedly.
"Little Kitty! Not bad."
Ye Liangchen knew that Little Kitty would succeed. He had helped this girl before, letting her eat the Foundation Building Pill and the Body Tempering Pill, and taught her the full set of Five Elements Divine Fist, which made her body very powerful. A mere two thousand year soul ring was nothing.
