Chapter 47 The 50,000-Year-Old Three-Headed Crimson Demon Mastiff.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Wu Xuan, on successfully absorbing the 30,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't dare," Chu Qingtian said with a smile.
"It's just good luck! I'm still far behind you, Senior Brother and Senior Sister," Wu Xuan said with a slight smile.
"Junior Brother Wu Xuan is too modest. I think it won't be long before you surpass us," Chu Qingtian said with a helpless smile.
Wu Ming, watching the two exchanging pleasantries, pushed Chu Qingtian aside.
"Junior Brother Wu Xuan, don't be modest. Your Martial Soul has evolved to its ultimate attribute, making me, your senior sister, extremely envious," Wu Ming patted Wu Xuan's shoulder with her jade-like hand, a slightly gentle, fake smile on her face.
Recalling Wu Ming's previous ferocious side, Wu Xuan's smile froze, and he lightly stepped aside to avoid her.
"Hey! Junior Brother, why are you dodging! Tell your senior sister about your fourth Soul Skill," Wu Ming teased Wu Xuan instead of being angry.
"Alright, Ming'er, stop fooling around! Junior Brother Wu, what soul skill did you get this time?" Zhang Lexuan stopped the mischievous Wu Ming and smiled at Wu Xuan.
"Senior Sister, I call my fourth soul skill 'Scattering Soul Wind'!"
"Scattering Soul Wind!?" The three looked at Wu Xuan in astonishment.
"It's exactly what it sounds like. If you're hit by my fourth soul skill, one-third of your soul power will instantly evaporate. Using other soul skills within the next minute will consume five times the original soul power."
"What?"
"That's insane!"
"No wonder it's a soul skill brought by the super soul beast, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger." Elder Xuan chuckled and took a bite of his chicken leg before disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Senior Sister! Actually, it's not as strong as you think. I can only use this soul skill once a day now. If I use it a second time, my body might not be able to withstand it. Also, if the enemy has a soul core, the power of this soul skill will be greatly reduced." Wu Xuan frowned as he sensed the information about the fourth soul skill.
Zhang Lexuan sighed and rubbed her forehead: "Junior Brother Wu! Soul cores can only be condensed by those who have broken through to the Title Douluo level. Only with a soul core can one defend. Your fourth soul skill is already outrageous."
"Yeah! If I had a soul skill like that, I'd be satisfied if I could use it once every few months. You're really getting a good deal and still complaining." Wu Ming tapped Wu Xuan's forehead in annoyance.
"Alright, we still need to find a suitable soul ring for Ming'er tomorrow. Everyone, get some rest tonight." Zhang Lexuan stepped forward and said.
"Yes, Senior Sister."
"..."
In the early morning, the Star Dou Great Forest was shrouded in mist, and the morning dew was heavy, but it also made the life force even stronger.
After eating some dry rations, the group continued their horizontal search within the mixed area under Zhang Lexuan's leadership.
Wu Ming had already planned what kind of soul beast she would choose for her next soul ring. But things didn't go as planned. Despite the group's careful search, three full days had passed, and they still hadn't found a soul beast of the right age.
So the group decided not to waste any more time in the mixed area and instead head to the core area.
Although the core area was dangerous, it also offered a greater chance of encountering suitable spirit beasts for Wu Ming.
As they ventured deeper, the vegetation grew denser and the path more rugged. The group knew they were nearing the core area.
Zhang Lexuan glanced at the sky; it was almost noon. After a moment's thought, she said, "Everyone, prepare yourselves. We're about to enter the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, its most dangerous region. Be careful from now on."
"Yes!"
After a short rest, the group continued deeper. In less than a kilometer, the surrounding vegetation had become noticeably taller and thicker. Among some towering ancient trees, the dense canopy even created a somewhat gloomy atmosphere. The life force in the air was far superior to that of the mixed area; prolonged cultivation here would provide a significant boost to any spirit master.
Although they occasionally encountered spirit beasts along the way, these were all carefully scouted by Wu Xuan and lacked any aggressive nature. Therefore, they hadn't encountered any major difficulties.
Just then, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's somewhat malicious voice suddenly came: "Little Wu Xuan, I've found a soul beast that's perfect for that little girl. Do you want me to show you the way?"
"Okay! Okay! Hurry up and point the way! The sooner it's over, the better." Wu Xuan nodded in response.
"Alright!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said excitedly.
"That damned bastard, Crimson King! He tortured me so badly before. Consider today's revenge as interest. I hope you can withstand the revenge to come. Wahahaha!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said smugly.
Then, with Wu Xuan's special guidance, a huge soul beast soon came into everyone's view.
It was a beast over five meters long, extremely strong, and somewhat like a lion, but it had three identical large heads. Each head was over one meter in diameter, and its terrifying canines emitted a crimson-gold luster.
"This is a Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound!?" Chu Qingtian couldn't help but exclaim.
"Judging from its size, this Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound should have about 50,000 years of cultivation. Ming'er! Your luck has come." Zhang Lexuan patted Wu Ming's head and smiled.
"Hehe! With Senior Sister's help, I'll choose him for my seventh spirit ring!" Wu Ming said excitedly.
"Alright! You guys cover me from behind," Zhang Lexuan ordered.
"Okay," Wu Xuan and the other two nodded in unison.
Spirit beasts have very keen senses. Just as the group slowly approached, the three heads of the Crimson Demon Hound, which had been dozing, suddenly raised.
"Not good! We've been discovered." Wu Xuan's expression darkened slightly.
As a super spirit beast of the first-tier team, the Crimson Demon Hound, after reaching 50,000 cultivation, already possessed intelligence comparable to humans, far surpassing ordinary spirit beasts.
Its keen senses detected the immense threat the moment Zhang Lexuan and the others approached.
Activating its innate spirit skill, in an instant, the Crimson Demon Hound's massive body burst forth with red light. Centered on its body, the air within a radius of over a hundred meters completely distorted. The ground beneath it also cracked under the intense heat.
A thunderous sonic boom roared from its three enormous heads.
The Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound lived up to its reputation as a super soul beast. The moment Wu Xuan and his companions noticed it, its powerful attack had already arrived. At this moment, it was a full six or seven hundred meters away from Wu Xuan and the others.
As Shrek Academy students, they knew the instant the shockwave hit them that this was the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound's innate soul skill, Hell's Roar.
The most terrifying aspect of this soul skill wasn't its unparalleled scorching heat wave, but the terrifying shockwave within that wave that caused enemies to stun.
Once an opponent's mental strength couldn't withstand it, the next thing to be met was the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound's terrifying flames, approaching the ultimate fire. A violent dizziness came over them, and just as Wu Xuan was about to lose consciousness, a cool sensation instantly filled his mind. First Soul Skill, Passive Protection.
Wu Xuan suddenly came to his senses. At this moment, apart from Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan who was still persevering, Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian had already fallen into a state of dizziness.
At this moment, hundreds of meters away, the three massive heads of the Crimson Demon Hound suddenly rose, unleashing a wave of intense heat that swept towards the four.
The flames were so intense that they reduced the flowers, grass, and trees in their path to ashes.
Zhang Lexuan was certain she could escape this area, but she didn't dodge; a bright moon appeared to deflect the attack.
The lingering shockwave, combined with the incredibly hot pillars of fire spewed from the three Crimson Demon Hounds, made it difficult for even Zhang Lexuan, with her cultivation level, to withstand the attack; her body began to sway.
Just as Elder Xuan was about to intervene, Wu Xuan's clear voice suddenly rang out.
"First Soul Skill, Gathering Spirit Wind!"
A cool breeze instantly spread from Wu Xuan's body, and the dizziness caused by the Crimson Demon Hounds' hellish roar vanished wherever the breeze passed.
