Chapter 173: Traces of the Transformed Soul Beast
Hu Liena rubbed her forehead and said, "That's different!"
"Why is it different? In my eyes, if we're talking about excellence, there's only one person in this world who's worthy of you besides me," Xie Yue replied nonchalantly.
"One person?"
Hearing this, Hu Liena was momentarily stunned, but then quickly understood what Xie Yue meant and said, "Brother, are you talking about Mo Hui? He's not my type!"
Just thinking about the punch Mo Hui had given her made Hu Liena furious. That man had no pity for women whatsoever.
Since she was young, every man around her had been submissive, even in combat. If they had to attack her, they were careful not to hit too hard for fear of injuring her.
Not just men—even many women couldn't resist the charm of her fox demon spirit and fell under her enchantment.
Only Mo Hui—only he was completely unaffected by her charm. He didn't hesitate for a second before punching her in the abdomen, making her cough up blood, and then kicked her off the stage like a piece of trash!
Every time she thought of that fight, Hu Liena felt deeply humiliated. She was part of the Spirit Hall's golden generation, yet she had been defeated so easily. How could she accept that?
To be honest, unless she could defeat Mo Hui, the knot in her heart would never go away.
"But it's undeniable that he's the best young man we've ever seen. Even now, in the Slaughter City for training, I still don't have confidence in beating him," Xie Yue said seriously. "Before we came in, he had already broken through to Soul Emperor. Given his cultivation speed, he's likely past level 65 now.
And judging by how relaxed he was during the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition, who knows how much strength he was hiding?
Even if you and I obtain the Killing God Domain, we may still be far from his level."
Hearing this, Hu Liena fell silent. The pressure Mo Hui gave them was immense. It was both her fortune and misfortune to be born in the same era as someone like Mo Hui.
It was fortunate because Mo Hui had shattered her pride and made her realize that there were always stronger people, giving her a goal to chase.
But it was unfortunate because Mo Hui's talent was terrifying—his strength grew like a rocket. No matter how hard they worked to catch up, his figure seemed to grow more distant.
Even after losing to Mo Hui, she and Xie Yue had trained like mad and gained more than three levels in just over a year. Yet, they still couldn't catch up to him.
That's why, when they heard Mo Hui had broken through to Soul Emperor, they couldn't hold back anymore and requested to enter the Slaughter City. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have a chance to see his back.
After a while, Hu Liena snapped out of her thoughts and said firmly, "Even if he's over level 65 now, so what? As long as we can get out of here and obtain the Killing God Domain, even with his high soul power level, he might not be our opponent!"
"Let's hope so," Xie Yue nodded slightly. Although he didn't believe that the Killing God Domain alone would let them surpass Mo Hui, there was still a long road ahead. Having the domain was certainly an edge.
At that moment, Tang San had just finished his match and was walking out of the Hell Killing Field.
Watching the scene, Xie Yue remarked, "Winning the match is just the beginning. What matters more is the ambush by the Fallen outside. Now it depends on whether this kid can survive."
"If he can, brother, how about we team up with him and head to the Hell Road together?" Hu Liena suggested.
Xie Yue glanced at Tang San and replied calmly, "If he shows enough value, sure. I think he's still rational and could be a reliable ally."
"But..."
Just as Hu Liena looked hopeful, Xie Yue changed the subject and said, "We're already close to a hundred consecutive wins. Even if he survives and keeps winning, he may not catch up to us!"
With that, Xie Yue also stepped down and began his 80th battle in the regional killing field.
…
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect
Ning Fengzhi was still working when a knock came at the door.
Putting on his robe, he opened the door and saw Gu Rong. Curious, he asked, "Uncle Gu, what happened that brought you here?"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong said seriously, "Master, not long ago, we found traces of that transformed soul beast!"
Hearing that, Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up with excitement. "Uncle Gu, where is he?"
"According to the information, he's likely hiding in the Star Dou Great Forest, guarded by two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts—the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python," Gu Rong replied.
Ning Fengzhi's expression immediately darkened. He began pacing and muttering, "Two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts... this won't be easy."
A hundred-thousand-year soul beast is at least equal to a Titled Douluo above level 95. And powerful ones like the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python were even more formidable.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had two Titled Douluo over level 95, with his assistance as the top auxiliary Spirit Master on the continent, they might be able to match them in a fight—but actually killing them would be extremely difficult.
If that were possible, they wouldn't have bothered looking for a transformed soul beast—they would've gone after a 100,000-year beast directly!
However, they had spent immense resources locating this soul beast. It wasn't something they could give up on easily—otherwise, all their efforts would be wasted.
"Uncle Gu, go call Uncle Chen. The three of us will head to the Star Dou Great Forest and investigate."
After a moment's thought, Ning Fengzhi decided to give it a try. After all, a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone weren't prizes to give up so easily.
"Understood!" Gu Rong nodded and vanished from sight.
After Bone Douluo left, Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed. Dispatching both Titled Douluo from the sect left the headquarters vulnerable—precautions had to be taken before they departed.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Even with two Titled Douluo, it's still not enough. If only our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had three Titled Douluo…"
His thoughts drifted to Mo Hui. If Mo Hui were willing to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, their sect would be invincible.
But then Ning Fengzhi shook his head and murmured, "It's a pity Mo Hui doesn't like Rongrong. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble."
