Chapter 298: Looking for a Soul Ring? Of Course, It Should Be Red!【Fifth Update】_1

```

Back when I was this age, I was still a damn kid worrying about how to become a Soul Elder.

It's maddening how people can differ so much.

"Not gonna lie, this rabbit meat is pretty good."

Ye Feng was also enjoying his meal.

Old Poison really has a knack for seasoning.

It's pretty much like the taste of barbecue from my past life.

The more I eat, the better it tastes.

"Speaking of which, Old Peel, with a month to go, what are you planning to do? Head back directly?"

Du Gubo looked at Ye Feng.

There was still a month before the competition, and he had originally planned to spend this month fixing his severed arm, which would just about heal in time for the match.

If it couldn't be reattached, then getting a prosthetic arm wouldn't be too bad either.

However, now his arm had fully recovered overnight.

This left him unsure how to arrange his time for the upcoming month.

"Actually, I'm planning to advance to level 70."

Ye Feng said with a beaming smile to Du Gubo.

"Level 70??"

Du Gubo looked utterly shocked.

This is insane, truly insane.

Have you ever seen a 15-year-old Soul Sage? Never been recorded in the entire Soul Land.

"What's with that look, Old Poison? I've been stuck at the Soul Emperor level for a whole year. Is advancing to Soul Sage so strange?"

Seeing the shocked expression on Du Gubo's face, Ye Feng rolled his eyes in response.

If it weren't for this damn System being too perverse, needing hundreds of millions of experience points to advance, I wouldn't have dragged this out for a whole year.

With that said, Ye Feng opened the System.

[Host: Ye Feng]

[Current Plane: Soul Land]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 15 years old]

[Martial Soul: First Martial Soul, Bloodthirsty Demon Scythe, Second Martial Soul, Lìkōng Bào]

[Soul Power: Level 69 Soul Emperor]

[Experience Points: 9001.99w/100 million]

...

I can hardly imagine what it would be like to advance to Soul Emperor now.

Ten billion experience points, how on earth am I supposed to advance?

It took me an entire year to grind ninety million experience points, and it was exhausting.

At this point, all the legends about the Ling Feng Sect in the Soul Arena were created by me.

Nearly a hundred battles every single day.

That's right, even while training the members of the Dou Huang Battle Team, I would still go to the Soul Arena to fight at night.

Having soul bones to boost me really helps, speeding me up, but my real core is my combat experience.

When I faced the Demon Bear Douluo and that guy called Shadow Two, the reason I could survive while holding onto Dugu Yan was exactly because of this.

Without this rich combat experience, their trap would have severely injured me.

As for Dugu Yan, after I was seriously injured, she would surely have been killed as well.

In the end, only my seriously injured self and the dead Dugu Yan would have been left on the ground.

"A whole year! Those words could only come from your mouth. If someone else said that, I'd really make them taste my Green Phosphorus Snake Poison!!"

Du Gubo barely contained his explosive temper.

Is a year such a long time?

Normally, advancing from Soul Emperor to Soul Sage takes ten years to be considered standard, and even geniuses need three to five years.

If the talent is lacking, it could take thirty to fifty years.

Only Ye Feng could be such a freak.

For some reason, being around Ye Feng always manages to cure my low blood pressure, he's so infuriating.

Why did I have to get to know this freak?

Every day, I suffer blows to my ego by his side.

"Just a bit more, but a month should be about right. When the time comes, Old Poison, you just need to pull an all-nighter with me and help me find a soul ring."

```

Ye Feng said to Du Gubo.

The fact that he followed Du Gubo to Sunset Forest because he wanted the other to help him find a Soul Ring was an important factor.

"That's possible, but what age are you looking for in your new Soul Ring?"

At this moment, Du Gubo asked.

Simply having the other party heal his injuries was enough reason for him to help find a Soul Ring.

Not to mention that later, in the process of saving his granddaughter, he lost an arm.

Of course, it had now recovered.

But he had not yet repaid that debt of gratitude.

So he was now inquiring about what age Soul Ring the other was seeking.

He wanted to be prepared.

He was also fairly familiar with the Sunset Forest.

"An entire red one?"

Ye Feng looked at Du Gubo with a somewhat different expression.

"Red, a red one??"

Upon hearing this, Du Gubo looked completely flustered.

Red represented a hundred-thousand-year.

"Old Peel, no offense, but are you sure my frail body can withstand a beating from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"

Du Gubo pointed at his own chest with his finger.

A hundred-thousand-year soul beast was the equivalent of a Hyper Douluo.

He was not capable of hunting such an existence.

"Haha, I'm just kidding, don't get so worked up."

Ye Feng looked at Du Gubo's nervous manner and chuckled.

"Whew—"

Du Gubo slowly exhaled a breath.

Such a fright.

If he really had to look for a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, even if he put the entire Qingfeng Tower on the line, it would not be enough.

"Old Poison, you're a Titled Douluo after all, how can you be so timid? Have some backbone, will you."

Ye Feng glanced at Du Gubo's demeanor dismissively.

Just mentioning a red Soul Ring had scared him like that.

"I am a Titled Douluo, but I can't withstand such skinning, not to mention one red Soul Ring, even four of me couldn't handle it," Du Gubo shrugged and said.

There's room for challenge, but one shouldn't throw away their life, right?

Moreover, if you call him timid, if that means he has no backbone, then so be it. He doesn't want to leave his granddaughter alone in this world.

He wanted to spend a few more years with her, to see her get married and have children.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange everything about finding a Soul Ring when the time comes. After all, if the great Elder of Qingfeng Tower were to fall, what would happen to the entire Qingfeng Tower?" Ye Feng said with a smile.

"Tsk, I don't want to be any great Elder. Right, now that you've recovered, I'll go back first to handle Qingfeng Tower's affairs. After all, with Zhu Zhuqing not around, I have to deal with everything myself," Du Gubo said after finishing the rabbit, then stood up.

"Then go ahead and take care of your business."

Indeed, a lot of responsibilities rested on Du Gubo's shoulders.

Ye Feng didn't need him for the time being, so it was alright for the other to leave first and take care of his own matters.

And so, Du Gubo left.

Ye Feng then lay down in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring Eye.

Experience Points immediately started to surge upward.

But for Ye Feng, these Experience Points were still too little.

Little as they were, they were better than none, right?

Time quickly moved to the next day's noon.

[Ding! You have three new messages]

At this time, the System displayed three new messages.

[Based on yesterday's Exercise Points, you have earned eight hundred thousand Exercise Points, which have been automatically converted into experience]

Ye Feng opened the first message, which was the result of yesterday's Exercise Points.

When he first arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring, he found a very peculiar phenomenon, which was that Experience Points increased every second.
