It wasn't long before Xuan Ziwen halted his steps, his gaze fixed on a lion resting in the distance…
Then, he turned back and looked at a student behind him, saying, "Wang Yao, your Martial Soul is the Solar Authority Scepter, right?"
Although the Solar Authority Scepter sounded incredibly powerful, the reality was that its auxiliary abilities were amongst the weakest!
Concerned, Wang Yao nodded and said, "Yes, teacher, actually any of those Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings we saw earlier would have been fine, there's no need to continue…"
They were deep inside the Aquipeia Forest; if they attracted a powerful soul beast, even with Title Douluo Xuan Ziwen around, it would be troublesome…
Initially, his aim was also to simply capture a ten-thousand-year soul beast…
But before he could finish speaking, Xuan Ziwen interrupted him, analyzing, "This Demon Spirit Flame Lion is roughly twenty-six thousand years old, very suitable for your Martial Soul."
To avoid leading everyone deeper into the forest, Wang Yao decisively said, "Thank you, teacher, I'll choose this Demon Spirit Flame Lion, then."
Xuan Ziwen spoke up, "The Demon Spirit Flame Lion is extremely agile, but its aggressiveness is weaker compared to other ten-thousand-year soul beasts. The most important thing to note is its ability to use flames! Its weakness is the abdomen!"
Hearing this, the other students responded seriously, "Yes, teacher!"
Knowing the Demon Spirit Flame Lion's weakness could shorten the unnecessary time spent in battle!
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "Agile, huh? Maybe…"
The Skydream Ice Silkworm, perceiving his thoughts, reminded him inside his mind, "Yuhao, don't reveal your soul skills!"
The Ice Emperor chimed in, "The people around you are all Soul Masters from the Sun-Moon Empire; if you disclose them, there will be great trouble!"
To the unknowing, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sharing would appear to be an ineffective soul skill, but to those who had truly experienced it, it could greatly amplify both Soul Masters and Soul Guides!
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and muttered to himself, "I understand!"
Then, he discarded the idea of using Spirit Sharing…
…
Xuan Ziwen said aloud, "Begin the attack!"
As the words fell, the three students beside him channeled their Soul Power into their soul tools. The next moment, they released three nets crackling with lightning, aiming for the slumbering Demon Spirit Flame Lion…
The unsuspecting Demon Spirit Flame Lion was immediately ensnared by the three nets…
The Demon Spirit Flame Lion, sensing something amiss, instantly woke from its slumber…
Its eyes, deep like a ghost's, saw the six people and immediately let out an angry roar…
Innumerable flames suddenly began to burn all over its body…
Simultaneously, it thrashed about, trying to free itself from the nets…
The next moment, a barrage of cannon shells blasted indiscriminately toward it…
"Boom!" A series of explosions followed…
After seeing the Demon Spirit Flame Lion struck and merely suffering a few superficial wounds, one of the male students quickly said, "It's not dead yet! And it's escaped the nets!"
Juzi and the other male students, seeing this, urgently channeled Soul Power into their soul tools and launched an attack at the Demon Spirit Flame Lion…
However, just as these attacks were about to hit, the Demon Spirit Flame Lion exploded with terrifying speed, dodging the incoming assault. It then became a blur as it dove into the surrounding bushes…
Witnessing the terrorizing speed of the Demon Spirit Flame Lion, one student exclaimed, "It's so fast! I can barely see it!"
Another student, looking uneasy, said, "With that kind of speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up!"
Wang Yao let out a sigh of resignation…
Was it so difficult just to get a Soul Ring?
Huo Yuhao turned his head to look around, but the numerous trees created many blind spots…
He thought to himself, "Has it already escaped?"
Standing beside Juzi, Xie Qianyu looked coldly at Huo Yuhao and the others…
Four soul guides were played by a soul beast not even thirty thousand years in cultivation level…
Even Xuan Ziwen shook his head in helplessness…
Having watched the recent battle, he realized that these students' practical application was far too poor!
Even worse than using their own Martial Souls to fight!
Just as everyone was pondering, the Demon Spirit Flame Lion hiding in the dark suddenly appeared behind Juzi, opening its huge, blood-filled maw and ripping towards her...
When Juzi turned around and realized what was happening, her pupils abruptly constricted...
It was already too late to dodge...
The gaping maw filled with countless fangs drew closer, and her heartbeat accelerated violently...
Qian Yu, who had sensed the Demon Spirit Flame Lion's position in advance, wrapped his arm around Juzi's tender waist and swiftly pulled her back...
Juzi stumbled backward several steps, and all she heard was a "Crack!" as the Demon Spirit Flame Lion snapped at thin air...
Seizing the moment when it hadn't reacted, Qian Yu quickly leveled his level 9 soul tool at the head of the Demon Spirit Flame Lion and furiously pulled the trigger...
Without any surprise, the Demon Spirit Flame Lion's head burst like a watermelon, with copious amounts of crimson liquid flowing out...
A deep black Soul Ring emerged from its corpse...
Qian Yu cast a cold glance at the lion lying in a pool of blood...
Juzi, still in shock, took a deep breath and gradually recovered, her expression filled with gratitude, "Qian Yu, thank... thank you."
If Qian Yu had been even a step slower, she might have suffered the fate of the Demon Spirit Flame Lion...
Qian Yu simply nodded and said, "Mm!"
Xuan Ziwen, who had watched the scene, had also been startled, but fortunately, Qian Yu had reacted in time!
Otherwise, he would have lost a student!
He then turned to Wang Yao, who was still standing there dumbfounded, and chided with a smile, "Wang Yao, what are you staring at? Hurry up and absorb the Soul Ring!"
"Yes! Teacher," Wang Yao, who had recovered from his daze, trotted over to the Demon Spirit Flame Lion's corpse...
He looked at Qian Yu with eyes full of gratitude and said, "Thanks, brother Qian Yu."
Qian Yu watched him without speaking...
Honestly, he had never absorbed a Soul Ring before...
Every time his soul power rank increased, a golden Million Year Soul Ring would appear on its own...
After Wang Yao spoke, he sat down cross-legged and began to absorb this Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring...
After the recent event, Xuan Ziwen first released soul power fluctuations to spread out and sense the surroundings. When he confirmed that there were no particularly strong soul beasts nearby, he suggested, "Let's rest a bit, and protect Wang Yao. There might still be other soul beasts that could launch a surprise attack nearby!"
"Mm!"
...
Wang Yao, who was sitting cross-legged, gradually opened his eyes...
He excitedly turned to Xuan Ziwen and said, "Teacher, I've succeeded!"
"Mm, then hurry up... What??" Xuan Ziwen didn't finish his sentence when an aura that made his heart tremble constantly approached their position...
The entire forest erupted with deafening "Bang Bang Bang" sounds, followed by a strong gust of wind...
Even Qian Yu couldn't help but his pupils shrink sharply after sensing this aura...
This terrifying aura was probably that of a ferocious beast with a cultivation level over three hundred thousand years!!!
Meanwhile, the Skydream Ice Silkworm in Huo Yuhao's mind spoke with an ugly expression, "Ice, this aura!"
The tone of the Ice Emperor was also filled with urgency, "Mm! It's her! Yuhao, we must escape quickly!"
This ferocious beast was no weaker than her at her peak!
Xuan Ziwen, as a teacher, bellowed with a grim face, "Everyone, leave quickly! We've encountered a ferocious beast of the Aquipeia Forest!"
