[A few days later, the group, having fully recovered their condition, finally prepared to set off for the Star Dou Great Forest.]
[Yu Yuanzhen led the team, with the Grand Elder and Lin Lang following.]
[As for Bibi Dong, she remained in the city.]
[Bibi Dong had no objections to this arrangement.]
[Initially, she was curious about Yu Xiaogang absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring as his third spirit ring, so she wanted to witness it with her own eyes.]
[Now that she had witnessed it, there was naturally no need for her to follow and get in the way.]
[Thus, the group headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.]
[Since their target was already determined, everyone headed directly toward their destination.]
[Of course, along the way, everyone didn't forget to keep an eye out for any Spirit Beasts suitable for the Grand Elder.]
[It was a pity that they didn't encounter a single suitable one until they approached their destination.]
["According to the map, it should be around here."]
[Yu Yuanzhen took out the map and glanced at it, putting it away only after confirming this was the place.]
["Then let's search carefully. We must be cautious not to let that fellow launch a sneak attack."]
[The Grand Elder urged.]
[The Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast possesses multiple combat styles because it can switch between light and darkness.]
[When the Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast switches its attribute to dark, it adopts a combat style similar to an agility-attack system Spirit Master, specializing in sneak attacks and assassinations.]
[This was also the reason why so many people came this time.]
[With Yu Yuanzhen's strength alone, he could easily crush that Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast without any problem.]
[But if Yu Yuanzhen were to be momentarily distracted and allow the Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast to ambush Yu Xiaogang, things would go south.]
[Thus, the next period was spent searching.]
[Among the group, everyone except Yu Xiaogang had extensive Spirit Hunting experience.]
[So they could easily find the information they wanted from the inconspicuous clues around them.]
[During this process, Yu Yuanzhen was also explaining the significance of these clues to Yu Xiaogang.]
[After several Spirit Huntings, Yu Xiaogang couldn't be called a complete novice, but he could always hear knowledge from his father that he was entirely unaware of.]
[This felt very novel to him.]
[One could only say that this is how it feels to encounter new knowledge.]
[In this way, relying on the clues, the group didn't take long to find that Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast.]
["It's right there."]
[The group lay prone on a small hill, watching the Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast sleeping in the distance.]
[Its black body trembled slightly under the sunlight. From a distance, that Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast looked like a black hole absorbing all light.]
["Four legs, a wolf's head, a rhinoceros horn, a horse's body, Dragon scales, and a tiger's tail—what a strange appearance."]
["When it's in its dark attribute, there are three white marks on its back pattern. It's over thirty thousand years old."]
[Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists, his heart filled with excitement.]
[For a Spirit Master with a normal optimal spirit ring configuration, the fourth spirit ring is generally around five thousand years.]
[The sixth spirit ring is around twenty thousand years.]
[Yet, at his fourth spirit ring, he had already surpassed the level of others' sixth spirit rings.]
[With such a spirit ring configuration, how could Spirit Masters of the same rank even hope to fight him?]
[Glancing at his son, Yu Yuanzhen nodded.]
["I'll be right back."]
[Saying this, Yu Yuanzhen performed Martial Soul Possession, transformed into a Tyrant Dragon, and descended beside the sleeping Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast.]
["Roar!"]
[The startled Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast let out a roar toward Yu Yuanzhen, and the previously quiet forest instantly came alive at this sound.]
[After the roar, the Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast immediately launched an attack toward Yu Yuanzhen.]
[Any Ten-Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast capable of surviving and dominating an area in the Star Dou Great Forest possesses extraordinary combat power.]
[But unfortunately, today this Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast encountered Yu Yuanzhen, whose spirit power was already at level 97.]
["Ho ho, instead of thinking about escaping, you actually take the initiative to attack me?"]
["Admirable courage!"]
[Yu Yuanzhen praised.]
[He had already revealed his Aura. Based on a Spirit Beast's perception of danger, this Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast could certainly sense his approximate strength.]
[Yet the opponent still chose to attack proactively.]
[Though reckless, Yu Yuanzhen had to admire the other's courage.]
[Unfortunately, having courage and having strength are two different things.]
[After another bout of fighting, the dying Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast was brought before Yu Xiaogang.]
[Seeing his father successfully subdue the Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast, Yu Xiaogang didn't hesitate. He stepped forward, drew his weapon, and neatly ended its life.]
[A black spirit ring drifted up, emitting bursts of flowing light.]
[Taking a deep breath, Yu Xiaogang prayed silently in his heart toward the spirit ring.]
["Gods above, please let it be Light-Dark Conversion, it must be Light-Dark Conversion!"]
[After praying, Yu Xiaogang then sat cross-legged on the ground, guided the spirit ring over, and began absorbing the spirit ring.]
["Sect Master, do you think Xiaogang can obtain the signature ability of the Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast as he wishes?"]
[Seeing Yu Xiaogang begin absorbing the spirit ring, the Grand Elder couldn't help but ask.]
[Thinking about it, if their Young Sect Master obtained the signature ability of the Flowing Light Eternal Night Beast, who could possibly counter him in future battles?]
[The Grand Elder searched his mind through the entire Douluo Continent and couldn't find a single Spirit that could simultaneously counter the two opposing attributes of light and darkness.]
["With Xiaogang's Luck, as long as he performs normally, he can certainly get his wish."]
["I am actually more curious now whether a Spirit Bone will drop this time."]
[Yu Yuanzhen curled his lips; by now, he had already accepted the premise that his son was a child of destiny.]
[So he wasn't worried at all about whether Yu Xiaogang could obtain the desired Spirit Ability.]
[He was more concerned with whether another Spirit Bone would appear this time.]
["A Spirit Bone... I think it's unlikely. We've obtained too many Spirit Bones recently."]
["Besides, we are planning to secure a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast for Xiaogang in the future."]
["A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast will inevitably drop a Spirit Bone. We shouldn't give Xiaogang a full set too early, or he might not be able to absorb a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone when the time comes."]
[The Grand Elder said.]
[They had a very clear plan for Yu Xiaogang's future.]
[No matter what, they were going to get Yu Xiaogang a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.]
[With Yu Xiaogang's current configuration, they would certainly not be satisfied without a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.]
["...Hahaha, Grand Elder, you certainly think far ahead."]
["In fact, I also... Who's there!"]
[Yu Yuanzhen said with a laugh, but as he spoke, his expression changed, and he suddenly shouted toward a certain direction.]
[Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's shout, the Grand Elder and Lin Lang immediately went on high alert, looking together toward the direction Yu Yuanzhen was facing.]
[Then the three of them saw a woman on a branch of a large tree not far away, hiding her presence and peering at them.]
[Upon seeing the woman, the Grand Elder and Lin Lang breathed a sigh of relief.]
[Although they didn't know who this woman was, since she was a human, she would be easy to handle.]
[However, in the next second, as Yu Yuanzhen spoke again, the expressions of the two changed drastically.]
[After seeing the woman spying on them, Yu Yuanzhen did not relax his guard.]
[To be able to come so close to him before being discovered—in the current Douluo Continent, no human had such an ability.]
[And since this was the Star Dou Great Forest, the identity of the woman before them was self-evident.]
["You are a hundred-thousand-year Transformed Spirit Beast!"]
