Chapter 69: Qian Renxue vs. Wannian Six-Winged Radiant Bird
Qian Daoliu smiled. "The sacred light aura here is very suitable for Soul Masters with light-attribute Martial Souls to cultivate. This is why we, as Soul Masters, need mimetic cultivation rooms to assist in cultivation; so-called mimesis is to simulate the most suitable environment for a Soul Master's cultivation."
However, Bibi Dong's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. She truly disliked this intense light aura. Both the Rakshasa God she inherited and her own two Spider Emperor Martial Souls intensely disliked this aura due to their mutually restrictive relationship.
"Alright, let's prepare now and first find a suitable ten-thousand-year light-attribute Soul Beast for Qian Renxue," Qian Daoliu said softly.
Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling were still very shocked that Qian Renxue was going to absorb a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring, as they didn't understand why.
Hu Bai had mentioned the effect of whale rubber in improving physique to them before they set off, and had even given some of his stock to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling for absorption, allowing them to increase the age limit of their first soul ring a bit.
The whale rubber provided included a hundred-year, a thousand-year, and a portion of ten-thousand-year whale rubber. This was considered a welcoming gift for them joining Spirit Hall.
If it weren't for the significant strategic importance of whale rubber, Spirit Hall would have wanted to publicize its effects within the academy and set up corresponding contribution points, allowing even ordinary talent Soul Masters the opportunity to consume whale rubber.
But due to the strategic significance of whale rubber, only a few exceptionally talented geniuses in the academy have the opportunity to obtain it, and these geniuses are actually strong contenders for the purple record badge in the future.
Furthermore, they needed to keep this matter strictly confidential. If it were leaked, they would be expelled from Spirit Hall at best, and their cultivation could be abolished at worst!
Since both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had consumed Immortal Herbs, their immunity to some side effects of the hundred-year whale rubber was greatly enhanced.
Although they didn't yet have their first soul ring, their ranks had already reached the two-ring standard due to the Immortal Herbs!
So, after this period of daily whale rubber consumption, Ye Lingling's first soul ring could already withstand a soul ring of about five hundred and fifty years, while Dugu Yan, due to her Beast Martial Soul, was slightly stronger, able to withstand one of about six hundred and fifty years.
However, Dugu Bo frowned because absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring wasn't just about meeting the physique requirements; it also required sufficient mental power to resist the resentment impact after the Soul Beast's death.
However, Qian Daoliu, a rank 99 Ultimate Douluo, couldn't possibly be unaware of this. Moreover, he looked around and noticed that Hu Bai and the others didn't seem surprised at all that Qian Renxue was going to absorb a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring!
This was a record-breaking feat in the Soul Master world!
On the continent, no one's fourth soul ring for their Martial Soul was a black ten-thousand-year one yet.
Of course, this excludes some special circumstances, such as Soul Masters with Twin Martial Souls and some Soul Masters with a Legacy.
Although the Sacred Forest is just a small forest, its significance depends on which forest it is compared to.
If compared to the Star Dou Great Forest, the Sacred Forest is naturally insignificant, but if compared to the Sunset Forest, the Sacred Forest might be slightly smaller than the Sunset Forest.
After all, a large number of light-attribute Soul Beasts inhabit here, so the area cannot be too small.
After all, Soul Beasts have territorial awareness!
Hu Bai looked around with great interest. As an 'elemental mage,' the abundant light elements here were naturally very helpful to him.
Moreover, this place had never been mentioned in the original work, which gave him a very novel feeling.
Just then, a bird's cry startled from above, and everyone's gaze was immediately drawn upward.
They saw a bird Soul Beast, about two meters long with a four-meter wingspan, entirely pure white with a faint golden luster on the edges of its feathers, six wings as thin as gauze, and a clump of golden feathers on its head, flying through the air.
Six-Winged Radiance Sparrow!
Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed. "A ten-thousand-year Radiance Sparrow! I didn't expect to encounter such a superb sacred light Soul Beast as soon as we arrived in the Sacred Forest. Qian Renxue, get ready! Don't let it escape!"
Among the Soul Beasts Qian Daoliu had captured, this type was the hardest to keep in captivity. Bird Soul Beasts were not that easy to guard, so he had always focused on land Soul Beasts.
This kind of Soul Beast prefers to live in groups. He didn't expect to encounter a lone one at the edge of the forest. It's fate!
Qian Daoliu immediately unleashed his divine power to encircle the Six-Winged Radiance Sparrow.
"This Radiance Sparrow is about fifteen thousand years old. I'll trap him within a certain range. The rest is up to you to handle. I want to see if you can kill him with your own strength," Qian Daoliu said, his gaze clearly falling on Qian Renxue, Hu Bai, and Xie Yue.
As for Hu Liena, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, their soul power was too low; their attacks would basically not cause any damage to a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.
Qian Renxue released her Seraphim Martial Soul and said lightly, "Xiao Bai, you two just assist and watch from the side. I want to see if I can kill this Soul Beast by myself!"
Hu Bai nodded. Qian Renxue truly needed some tempering; her practical combat experience was too little.
Generally speaking, a rank 40 Soul Master, without a fourth soul ring, could never be the opponent of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.
Even an ordinary Soul King would find it difficult to defeat a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.
But was Qian Renxue an ordinary person?
Although her Seraphim Martial Soul had not yet reached its ultimate attribute, it was infinitely close and would certainly have a suppressive effect on the Soul Beast before them.
Moreover, Qian Renxue's Martial Soul was a God-given Martial Soul; her Seraphim was of higher quality than Qian Daoliu's!
The phantom of the Seraphim appeared behind Qian Renxue, and six wings also condensed behind her, slowly flying into the air.
"Cry—"
The intelligence of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast is already quite high, and this is even more true for the Six-Winged Radiance Sparrow, which possesses a rich Holy Light Bloodline. The Radiance Sparrow's six wings instantly burst forth with intense light, attempting to blind its opponent and find an opportunity to escape.
This was the Six-Winged Radiance Sparrow's innate Soul Skill, Radiance Flash!
However, this move was not very effective against Qian Renxue, who possessed the Seraphim Martial Soul. She herself had a certain resistance to light attributes, and coupled with her Angel Skull, this move could not blind her.
Qian Renxue's second soul ring slowly rose, releasing fifteen small golden light blades around her, flying towards the Radiance Sparrow from all directions!
This was her second Soul Skill, Angelic Light Blade!
