Chapter 32: Star Forest, Obtain the 5th Ring
Chapter 32: Star Forest, Obtain the Fifth Ring (3)
The list of soul beasts that You Chen gave Di Wan consisted of three tiers.
The first echelon is the most suitable target that Youchen thinks. If he encounters it, it doesn't matter even if the age is slightly lower. Diwan will notify Youchen as soon as he finds it, so that Youchen can accurately determine the age.
The second echelon was a relatively good choice. This level of compatibility and the quality of soul beasts were basically perfect goals for ordinary soul masters. It was just that You Chen had a more discerning eye, so he placed them in the second echelon.
The third echelon was an option that You Chen could barely accept when he couldn't find any soul beasts from the second echelon at all. However, this was the only degree of compatibility that the soul rings of ordinary elite soul masters could achieve.
Going further down, there are those with wind attributes, which can bring good soul skills, but have no special qualities. They can neither bring obvious improvements to the martial soul nor improve You Chen's special abilities. They are the best choice in the eyes of ordinary soul masters, and You Chen completely disdains them.
With You Chen's personal abilities, he can even set a goal that perfectly fits his needs and can be said to be tailor-made for him based on his own goals.
However, the Star Dou Great Forest is very large, and the number of soul beasts in it is countless.
Even with Diwan's ability, finding a designated soul beast that meets the requirements for wandering years is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
In the world of soul beasts, soul beasts that live for ten or a hundred years are like the vast majority of the lower-class people in ancient times. You can catch a lot of them, and when one batch dies, another batch will pop up immediately.
Thousand-year soul beasts are equivalent to grassroots personnel such as constables and petty officials. If you circle a certain area, they are the kind that can be counted, but if you look at the entire soul beast world, they are just consumables.
But it’s different for ten thousand year old soul beasts.
Every ten thousand year soul beast belongs to a local overlord. If the hundred thousand year soul beasts are princes, such as Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Cao Cao, the ten thousand year soul beasts are Liu Biao, Guan Yu, and Lu Bu...
The approximate status here is only used to illustrate the level of the ten thousand year old soul beast in the food chain.
You can also say that Liu, Sun, and Cao are hundreds of thousands of years old beasts, Liu Biao, Guan Yu, and Lu Bu are hundreds of thousands of years old spirit beasts, and Lu Bu is a hundred thousand years old spirit beast with top bloodline...
That's roughly what I mean.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, killing some ten thousand year soul beasts might even attract the hundred thousand year soul beasts above them.
It’s like if you killed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, wouldn’t Liu Bei have to fight you to the death?
You don't even need a hundred thousand year soul beast. One that's fifty or sixty thousand years old is enough to give most soul masters who come to hunt ten thousand year soul beasts a hard time.
Just like a soul master, a soul master who can reach a certain level will not have a low level of martial soul.
The same goes for soul beasts. Those that can cultivate for ten thousand years or more have combat power at least at the Soul King level.
Twenty to thirty thousand years is enough to be considered a Soul Emperor, and more than fifty thousand years is at least the equivalent of a Soul Sage.
The good thing about having a fast Soul Douluo like Diwan leading the team is that there is no need to worry about being entangled by soul beasts that are more than 50,000 years old.
Even with Youchen, Diwan could easily get away.
As long as you don't encounter a hundred thousand year soul beast, you can basically be worry-free.
Of course, there is basically a small probability of failure, but it is impossible for a soul master to advance without taking this risk.
You Chen is just cautious, not timid.
It would be better to say that it is precisely because of ambition and desire that one is so cautious at every step.
About half a day passed, the sky had become dark, and Diwan slowed down again and stopped in mid-air.
Even with You Chen's eyesight, he could see the target at this distance.
In a deeply hidden valley, dozens of creatures with translucent bodies and green lotus-like heads were leisurely communicating in a language that only they could understand.
"A community of wind-calling spirits."
The Wind Caller is called the Wind Fairy. As a soul beast of the elf and fantasy beast type, it almost never coexists with other races, which can greatly avoid the situation where the older ones appear again after killing the younger ones.
Moreover, it was ranked in the second tier of the list given by You Chen. "How about it, do you want me to continue to help you look for it?" Di Wan asked.
You Chen shook his head. "That kind of perfect choice is hard to come by. It's already a stroke of luck to find a Wind Summoner of this level in one day. I estimate that if I search for another week, I will at most be able to match it. If there are no other hidden leaders, then this leader is probably the one that meets my requirements."
You Chen observed for a while and quickly came to a conclusion.
"It's all here."
Di Wan was brief and to the point, and asked, "What are the characteristics of the leader you are talking about?"
You Chen naturally wouldn't explain to Diwan that he had to look at the lotus leaf on the head of the Wind Calling Spirit to determine the exact age, and said, "The one with a pinkish trunk, the largest and the fattest one."
"receive."
The next moment, Diwan grinned, and a black soul ring suddenly lit up.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up in the sky.
As elves that summon the wind, the wind-calling spirits who control the power of wind were the first to notice the strange phenomenon in the sky.
The largest wind-calling spirit leader was the first to raise his lotus leaf head.
Then he saw the endless gale gathered in Diwan's hand, condensing into a huge spear with a vaguely visible outline.
The sixth soul skill, weapon soul skill, Storm Controller!
Woo!
The air seemed to be wailing.
When the Wind Calling Spirit leader looked up, it was already too late.
As two more soul rings lit up, Diwan had already thrown out the invisible spear.
The supersonic attack pinned the Wind Spirit leader to the spot before he could even react.
Immediately afterwards, the wind binding that originally wrapped the spear suddenly exploded, forming a violent air explosion. While causing secondary damage to the Wind Summoning Spirit leader, the aftermath blew away the younger Wind Summoning Spirits around.
tread.
Diwan stepped on the handle of the spear, and the powerful soul power fluctuation became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The wind-calling spirits who were originally thinking about rescuing their leader felt the huge gap in strength and fled in panic.
"Aren't you too violent?" You Chen complained at the right time.
In response, Dewan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "But this is fast, isn't it?"
For the current Diwan, a wind-calling spirit with more than 24,000 years of cultivation can be easily defeated even without using soul skills, let alone using soul skills?
With such a bodyguard around, it would be difficult for You Chen to get into any accidents.
He successfully completed the tail blade, and then began to absorb the fifth soul ring.
After yawning, Diwan found a stone block and moved it next to the tree that was still intact, leaning against it and sitting quietly.
Compared to the consumption of defeating the target soul beast, this half-day search consumed more energy and soul power.
However, even though he was silently recovering, his attention was never away from You Chen. If anything went wrong, he would be able to interrupt You Chen's absorption of the spirit ring in the first place.
On the other side, You Chen has once again entered the process of "self-created soul skills".
