The Purple-Garbed Soul Master said with a smile, "My lord, please give it a try. The water in these pools is changed regularly!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng slowly removed his white clothes and pants, then calmly stepped into the hot spring pool…
The moment he entered, Xu Sheng felt his whole body enveloped by a gentle body of water, with a ceaseless strength flowing towards him…
Xu Sheng glanced at the Purple-Garbed Soul Master beside him and said indifferently, "Aren't you going to soak?"
"Ah," the Purple-Garbed Soul Master hesitated for a moment, then quickly stripped off his clothes and entered the hot spring pool as well…
His expression gradually became comfortable, and he then began to absorb the Soul Power within the water in a seated meditation posture…
Seeing this, Xu Sheng smiled faintly and also crossed his legs to stabilize the Soul Power that was loosening inside his body…
...
The two remained silent for quite a while…
Then, both slowly opened their eyes, and the Purple-Garbed Soul Master was the first to speak with a smile, "My lord, this pool water is useful, isn't it?"
Xu Sheng stretched and then nodded in response, "Mm! It is indeed not bad, but I want to ask you a question." Eagerly, the Purple-Garbed Soul Master said, "My lord, please ask. I'll tell you everything I know." Xu Sheng smiled and said, "You're a native of Sea God's Island, so I was wondering if there are any other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts here besides the Devil Soul Great White Shark."
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master frowned slightly and said, "A hundred-thousand-year soul beast, are you intending to hunt for a Soul Ring?"
He knew that Xu Sheng was already a Titled Douluo, so he should have already obtained his Soul Rings!
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not Soul Rings I'm lacking, but a soul bone! I currently have five soul bones in my body, so I want to complete the set for my entire body."
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master inhaled sharply in surprise, "Sss"
It's no wonder he's a lord, to talk about hunting a hundred-thousand-year soul beast for a soul bone as if it's nothing!
Seeing his expression, Xu Sheng said indifferently, "What? Don't know any? Then never mind."
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master quickly explained, realizing Xu Sheng misunderstood him, "No, that's not it, I happen to know of a hundred-thousand-year sea soul beast, the Evil Tiger! Its strength is about the same as the Devil Soul Great White Shark!"
Xu Sheng's eyes lit up, "Quick, tell me where?"
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master pondered for a moment and then said, "It's around the coast on the other side of Sea God's Island, where its figure often appears."
Xu Sheng was surprised and asked, "The other shore?"
Apart from this one where Land Soul Masters can enter, are there shores in other directions as well?
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master clarified again, "Yes, my lord, that shore is not open to Land Soul Masters from outside, only natives of Sea God's Island are aware of it."
Xu Sheng slowly stood up from the hot spring pool, revealing a supremely enviable physique…
Xu Sheng patted the Purple-Garbed Soul Master on the shoulder and said, "Let's go then, now lead me there. By the way, do you have any spare Soul Ring spots?"
After hearing the latter part of that statement, the Purple-Garbed Soul Master understood what Xu Sheng implied.
His tone slightly heated, he said, "No, but that place is close to the Ten Sacred Pillars, where the Soul Ring from the dead Evil Tiger Devil Whale King will be absorbed!"
This meant that he could still absorb the Soul Rings when his soul power rank advanced further!
Upon hearing this name, Xu Sheng suddenly realized, "Evil Tiger Devil Whale King? No wonder it sounds so familiar."
This hundred-thousand-year soul beast was indeed the one that appeared in the original story and was later killed by Tang San, whose soul got absorbed as his eighth soul ring!
The Purple-Garbed Soul Master hurriedly got up and fawned, "Then my lord, I will lead you there right away!"
Indeed, it pays to follow the big players!
Even if he couldn't feast on meat (soul bones), he'd still get to sip some broth (Soul Rings)!
That's a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring!
If he went to hunt it by himself, he might have to wait for decades, not to mention the risk of being killed by the Evil Tiger Devil Whale King!
Xu Sheng picked up his clothes and pants and said nonchalantly, "Then let's go."
...
The sky had already darkened, and Tang San and the others who had fainted on the Soul Power Stages had begun to wake up one after another…
Ma Hongjun rubbed his eyes and grumbled, "em...who turned off the lights?"
Oscar reminded him, "Fatty, make sure you realize where we are. This is Sea God's Island, not Shrek Academy anymore!"
Ma Hongjun suddenly snapped awake and hurriedly said, "Right! This is Sea God's Island!"
Dai Mubai yawned and said with a suave expression, "So, Fatty, what's the rush? Missing your Cuihua?"
That Cuihua, she looked just so...
Well, it's not nice to say that either...
Guess that just means Ma Hongjun isn't picky when he's hungry.
Tang San felt surprised by his own breath and exclaimed in shock, "I... I seem to have broken through to Soul Emperor?"
Ning Rongrong said in surprise, "No way, Third Brother, did you level up your Soul Power just by sleeping?"
Zhu Zhuqing, sensing something was off, reminded everyone, "Wait, everyone check your own Soul Power!"
Ma Hongjun said in astonishment, "What, I've also broken through to Soul Emperor!"
Dai Mubai said in surprise, "I leveled up too! Was climbing up the staircase the same as months of training?"
Ning Rongrong said with joy, "I've leveled up one rank as well!"
Seeing that others had made gains, Tang San then looked to the side, "Xiaowu, how about you?"
Xiaowu shook her head with a hint of disappointment, "It seems like I haven't improved!"
Tang San gently rubbed Xiaowu's head and smiled, "It's okay, Xiaowu. You're a soul beast, and cultivation is harder for you compared to us! It's already great that you've come this far!"
With Tang San's reassurance, Xiaowu nodded her head, "Mm!"
Subsequently, Poseissi's beautiful figure appeared before everyone...
But when she sensed everyone's soul power fluctuations, she smiled and said, "It seems all of you have increased your soul power rank."
Tang San frowned and inquired Poseissi, "Grand Elder, what exactly is going on? Even if it's..."
The other Shrek Members also turned their curious gazes towards Poseissi...
Poseissi slowly explained, "This is your first time experiencing the Soul Power Stages, so the increase is significant, but it won't be as effective in the future."
Hearing this explanation, Tang San and the others thoughtfully said, "That makes sense!"
No wonder they say Sea God's Island is rich with opportunities; it seems that is indeed the case!
Just by scaling a Soul Power Stage, they had risen one rank; they couldn't help but imagine that the upcoming trials might provide them with a qualitative improvement!
Afterwards, Poseissi's gaze turned to Tang San, suggesting, "Tang San, you have now become a Soul Emperor, and right at the shore of Sea God's Island there happens to be a hundred-thousand-year Evil Tiger Devil Whale King. You may hunt it to make it your Soul Ring!"
"However, it can only be hunted by all seven of you together, consider it a test of sorts!"
This was Tang Chen's great-grandson, naturally he would receive some favoritism!
Tang San's eyes flickered with seriousness, "A hundred-thousand-year soul beast is still a bit much for us..."
Dai Mubai spoke confidently, "No worries, Xiaosan, it's just a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Surely the seven of us can handle one, right?"
Ma Hongjun patted his chest, "Exactly, Third Brother, we coordinate flawlessly. What's the big deal with handling a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said, "Yeah! Third Brother, I also want to try facing off against a hundred-thousand-year soul beast."
Ning Rongrong blinked, "Let's try it, Third Brother. If we can't beat it, we can still run away, right?"
Tang San's gaze swept over Xiaowu beside him, noticing her face was full of determination...
Tang San pursed his lips, his pupils hardening slightly, "Alright, then let us, the Shrek Seven Monsters, go meet it!"
If they couldn't triumph over a mere hundred-thousand-year soul beast, then he had no chance of catching up to Xu Sheng!
