Chapter 107: Heading to the Star Dou Great Forest.
All the participants had returned. This year's failure hadn't dampened their confidence; they would fight again next year!
Even if they sold their experience of failure, they could still make a fortune.
After watching them leave, Xia Li and the other four packed up their belongings and headed for the Star Dou Great Forest.
The four were Xia Li, Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena, and Yang Mingxin.
Yang Mingxin had just reached level 40. She was two years older than Dong Hui, with a spirit power four levels higher. At Xingluo Royal Academy, she was a highly talented and outstanding support spirit master.
At twenty-one, she was already an intern teacher.
In fact, most of the contestants who later participated in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition were over twenty years old. Technically, they were just nominal students.
After all, normal students should graduate at seventeen or eighteen, but the competition's age limit was twenty-five.
Zhu Zhuqing had been stuck at level 30 for a long time. It was time for her to hunt a spirit ring. With her current physique, she could easily acquire one lasting at least three thousand years.
Generally speaking, a third spirit ring should be within 1,700 years, but this applies to ordinary spirit masters without spirit bones. Spirit bones, such rare and precious items, are not considered.
Zhu Zhuqing possesses two spirit bones, and coupled with her spirit's evolution, her physique is now incomparable.
Her Dark Elf is a pinnacle elemental spirit, also excelling in speed. Its rank is at least above that of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and Fire Phoenix. Even
Xia Li couldn't think of a reference to a spirit ring of such extreme attributes. Huo Yuhao is a freak; he's not a normal person.
Xia Li's initial third spirit ring was 4,000 years old. After gaining the divine skill Light God's Descent and the blessing of the Eye of Destiny, he didn't need to forcibly absorb spirit rings of tens of thousands of years to acquire superior spirit skills.
Furthermore, no matter which spirit ring he obtained, it would eventually turn rose gold. He didn't even need a 100,000-year spirit ring for show.
With Zhu Zhuqing's current physique, 3,000 years should be no problem, and 4,000 years would be a reasonable challenge.
Perhaps it was fate at work, but Xia Li fell asleep after just one try. Zhu Zhuqing was convinced, and now she was very well behaved.
The four of them set out for the Great Star Dou Forest. Bibi Dong practiced in the Rakshasa Secret Realm, ready to provide support if needed.
In fact, with their current strength, Hu Liena at level 51 and Xia Li at level 44, helping Zhu Zhuqing hunt three- and four-thousand-year soul beasts would have no problem.
Ten-thousand-year soul beasts could also be dealt with, as long as they didn't encounter any particularly monstrous ones, but Zhu Zhuqing probably wouldn't need them.
The four of them stopped and walked, exploring the mountains and rivers as they traveled. After five days, they finally arrived at the Great Star Dou Forest.
Three- and four-thousand-year soul beasts should be seen in the outer areas, but they were rare. The presence of thousand-year soul beasts in the middle areas would be the norm, essentially the habitat of ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
However, with Xia Li's European-style physique, a thousand-year soul beast might also yield soul bones, but a ten-thousand-year soul beast would still be no match.
Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing was Xia Li's first member of the God Corps, and he had only been focusing on her training for a year. Even if she didn't have all her spirit bones, she would have at least four or five. Furthermore, she would be the future heir to the gods, so having her spirit bones too young wouldn't be a good idea. The four of them took some food and entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Star Dou Great Forest was covered in blue silver grass, but it was an annual herb. If it wasn't in a place with abundant spirit power, it wouldn't survive the winter and wouldn't even be considered a spirit beast, just an ordinary grass.
Otherwise, it would be considered a useless martial spirit.
A gentle breeze blew, bringing with it a burst of floral fragrance that was refreshing and very pleasant.
Xia Li inhaled the floral fragrance with ecstasy, feeling transported to a paradise on earth, a euphoric feeling similar to that of smoking marijuana, instantly leaving him feeling relaxed and refreshed.
After savoring it for a moment, Xia Li explained, "Such pleasant floral scents are often poisonous, and many flower-based spirit beasts use their scent to attract prey, waiting for them to approach before slaying them!"
Hu Liena's mouth twitched. "Are we poisoned then? How can you remain so calm?"
"It's okay. It's just a few-decade-old spirit beast. With our physiques, we can just absorb its fragrance for free. It'll be fine."
Xia Li pointed to a cluster of luscious flowers about twenty meters away.
Despite his casual chatter, Xia Li's mental power had already encompassed a hundred meters around him, keeping track of every movement.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a swift Blue Moon Wolf suddenly burst from the brush and devoured the fragrant flower spirit beast in one gulp. "Hmph, you've got me sick."
Hu Liena saw the silly Blue Moon Wolf. She had wanted to capture one and bring it back home since she'd been in the Lost Canyon, but it was too dangerous back then.
"Xia Li, let's follow it to its den!" Hu Liena said with a smile.
Xia Li chuckled, "Isn't it dangerous now? You still have the mind to bring a pet?"
The Blue Moon Wolf, barely a hundred years old, glanced at Xia Li and the others. "Hmph, I'm so fast, no one can catch me!
Hurry! "
With a whoosh, the Blue Moon Wolf fled deep into the forest.
Xia Li asked, "Mingxin, you're a support-type spirit master. I don't even know what your spirit skills are."
Yang Mingxin looked at Xia Li with a hint of resentment. "You're my husband, but you've ignored me for so many days, I thought you'd forgotten me.
"Yang Mingxin said, "My first spirit skill is a self-amplification skill. It increases my speed and strength by 15%, combining offense and defense. It's my only life-saving skill."
Xia Li nodded. "Hmm," she thought. "That skill wasn't bad. While it looked ordinary, it was actually quite useful in practice." But her next words shocked Xia Li.
Yang Mingxin said, "My second soul skill is Water Bond. I select one nearby player and reduce their soul power consumption by 10%! My third soul skill is Water Bond! I select a nearby teammate and imbue them with Water Bond, giving their next attack the effect of Weak Water.
Anyone struck by Weak Water loses 1% of their soul power every second, for a maximum of 15 seconds!
However, the Weak Water effect can be interrupted."
Xia Li was already thrilled. This back-and-forth, for a soul master of the same level, would be equivalent to a 25% increase in their own soul power. If that were true, this support was truly exceptional.
Even against a Titled Douluo, wouldn't it only take seven Weak Water attacks, and that would still cost them no soul power at all?
No wonder she was the support of the Xingluo Royal Team in the original novel; the effect was truly remarkable.
But Yang Mingxin's tone was completely indifferent, not even a hint of pride.
Xia Li asked, "How do I interrupt it?"
