Half a month later.
At this time, Wang Yi was practicing his past life's martial arts in the Shenwei Space. In the past half month, Wang Yi had already determined which Spirit Beast he needed from the books. The reason he hadn't gone yet was because he wanted to strengthen his body. He felt that although his strength and speed had increased, what was the use of having only strength without technique? No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than a Spirit Beast? Spirit Beasts around a thousand years old can be defeated by brute force, but what about those over ten thousand years old?
When Wu Song fought the tiger, he didn't rely on pure strength; he also knew martial arts. He wasn't stupid. Why shouldn't he learn martial arts and body techniques when he clearly knew them? Why use brute force when he could win with technique?
That's why he hadn't gone to Star Soul Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts for the past half month. However, he was indeed near Star Soul Forest. After all, Blue Silver Village was so far from Star Soul Forest that if he didn't go early, he definitely wouldn't have enough time. By then, he estimated his Little brother would really shrink by one centimeter.
Of course, he wasn't just practicing body techniques; he occasionally practiced ninjutsu as well. After all, this would be his main attack method in the future. If he didn't learn it, wouldn't he just be a martial arts support system Spirit Master? Then he might as well get a Binding skill from his birth mother, like Tang San.
Flying Thunder God was one of the main ninjutsu Wang Yi studied, followed by Chidori, Spiral Pill, and the Three Body Technique. Oh! Of course, the Great Fireball Technique counted as well, as it was one of the simplest and most practical techniques.
"Hoo… Not bad. With my current body strength, absorbing a thousand-year spirit ring is basically no problem. As for ninjutsu, Flying Thunder God has been roughly mastered. With the help of Shenwei, he has a general understanding of the power of space, so the method of using Flying Thunder God is not so difficult to understand. And Chidori can be initially used with the help of Sharingan, and the Three Body Technique and Great Fireball Technique can also be basically applied."
"Then it's time to start obtaining a spirit ring," Wang Yi Nannan said.
Not long after, Wang Yi emerged from the Shenwei Space. He looked around, found no one, and then walked out of the passage. The people around didn't pay attention, continuing with their own tasks. Soon, he arrived at the gate of Star Soul Forest. However, like other forests, there were guards here. Wang Yi didn't bother with them; instead, he found an unpopulated spot and used Shenwei's intangibility to pass through the wall.
After entering Star Soul Forest, he released his innate Domain, the Blue Silver Domain. Wang Yi discovered this Domain later, and its ability was similar to Tang San's Blue Silver Domain. It could sense through Blue Silver Grass within the Domain, and the range of perception depended on the presence of Blue Silver Grass nearby.
Wang Yi sensed for a moment. There were no powerful Spirit Beasts nearby, and plant-type Spirit Beasts were even rarer. At most, there were some decades-old solitary bamboo, and other Spirit Beasts were low-level ones like Ghost Wolves.
"Hoo… It seems I still need some time." The Spirit Beasts he was interested in were three: Demonic Earth Tree, Heavenly Demon Huaiyang Tree, and Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine.
The Demonic Earth Tree Spirit Beast had the ability to absorb enemy power to nourish itself. The Heavenly Demon Huaiyang Tree could absorb sunlight and store it in its body to strengthen itself. The Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine itself possessed extremely powerful blood poison and sharp thorns; it could release blood poison on enemies and absorb their power to enhance itself.
These three plant-type Spirit Beasts were the result of Wang Yi's careful selection. Since they were for buffing, they had to be strong.
Thus, Wang Yi continued to delve deeper into Star Soul Forest. Although he encountered a few hundred-year-old Spirit Beasts, they were unfortunately not suitable for him.
The sky gradually darkened. Helpless, Wang Yi entered the Shenwei Space to rest. It was too dangerous to stay outside; the Shenwei Space was safer. He didn't want to go without sleep for a night. Even if he didn't sleep, he would cultivate. It's just that he didn't want to experience his past life again. But having said that, he still had to cultivate. He might have slept before, but now that he thought about it, he should still cultivate.
The next day, Wang Yi stepped out of the Shenwei Space and continued his search, but his luck was still very bad.
The third day, the fourth day, until the tenth day, Wang Yi finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"Damn, am I too unlucky? It's already the tenth day, and I haven't found a single suitable Spirit Beast?" Wang Yi suddenly felt like the system was digging a pit for him.
Just as Wang Yi was lost in thought, a tentacle attacked him. Wang Yi dodged the attack with a sidestep. He turned his head and saw a huge willow tree not far from the riverbank, swinging its branches and attacking him.
"This is a Sacred Light Weeping Willow! I didn't expect to find such a Spirit Beast here!"
Wang Yi had seen this Spirit Beast in books before: the Sacred Light Weeping Willow, a light-element plant Spirit Beast. It possessed powerful light energy, and its willow whips were its main weapons. Like the Heavenly Demon Huaiyang Tree, it could absorb solar energy to strengthen itself.
Wang Yi's eyes lit up. He had just said he couldn't find a Spirit Beast, and it delivered itself to his doorstep. "Very good! Since you're looking for death, you're the one!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Si—Wei—Shen—Hai—Wu—Yin," Wang Yi's hand seals changed continuously. After forming the last seal, Long Yu took a deep breath, then exhaled a fireball that continuously grew larger, becoming a gigantic fireball that shot towards the Sacred Light Weeping Willow.
As a thousand-year Spirit Beast, the Sacred Light Weeping Willow also had an instinct for fear. Feeling the scorching fireball, it tried to extinguish it by using its willow whips to slap the river, splashing huge waves.
Seeing this, Wang Yi didn't pay attention to its action. Instead, he formed another hand seal and spat out another fireball.
"You want to extinguish this fireball with water? Alright, I'll send a few more. Let's see how you extinguish them."
At this moment, the big willow tree felt like cursing. How could this human continuously spit out fireballs? "I'm indeed not human, but you're truly a dog!" It hadn't expected such an unprincipled fellow among humans. "Sure enough, there are no good people among humans!"
Just like that, one human and one willow tree, one spitting fire and one extinguishing fire, went back and forth for an entire afternoon.
At night, Wang Yi sat not far away, panting heavily, looking at the big willow tree in front of him with extreme speechlessness. Why was it so difficult for him to hunt a Spirit Beast? But fortunately, this big willow tree looked like it was almost done for. He had to push harder!
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Pfft!" Wang Yi spat out another huge fireball. The big willow tree saw this and tried to use the river water to extinguish it again, but this time, Wang Yi didn't stay in place. Instead, he activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and used Shenwei to absorb the river water into the Shenwei Space.
The big willow tree saw this and frantically slapped the river water again, but it was already too late. The Great Fireball Technique had reached it. With a "boom!" the big willow tree caught fire. It struggled continuously, and its willow whips kept attacking its surroundings. Wang Yi saw this and instantly dodged.
Wang Yi watched as the big willow tree burst into roaring flames, and his heart finally relaxed. It was finally resolved. "What a hassle, it wasted so much of my time."
