Chapter 196: The Wind Stops, The Rain Stops, Shrek Is Back on Track
After some time, Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, Ma Hongjun, and the others from Shrek Academy all broke through their Bottlenecks and reached the point where they could absorb a Soul Ring.
The feeling of rapidly improving their cultivation was truly intoxicating to them.
As the team's "Soul Mentor," Master Yu naturally took on the important task of arranging the Soul Rings.
For Dai Mubai, the poison attribute was naturally carried through to the end; as for Ma Hongjun, he was Flender's Disciple after all, so it was inconvenient for him to interfere.
As for Yu Tianheng, Yu Xiaogang originally wanted his nephew to try out his invincible theory.
But upon thinking of the hot-tempered clansmen back home, he ultimately chickened out and decided to give up.
How could his wisdom be understood by those foolish clansmen?
When he truly succeeds one day, great scholars will surely debate the classics for him!
At that time, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would only beg him to return!
...
Soon, the news of the Shrek group heading out collectively reached Qian Renxue's hands immediately.
After utilizing her astonishing wisdom, Qian Renxue clearly perceived that something was amiss.
The direction Shrek's group was heading was obviously Sunset Forest.
However, according to reports from her spies planted inside Shrek, these people were still far from their Bottleneck just a few days ago.
How could they have all broken through overnight?
"Damn it, could that despicable woman have used some of Spirit Hall's foundation to help that wretched buzz cut?"
Thinking this, she clenched her fists tightly, deeply hating Bibi Dong's behavior of betraying her own side!
"Uncle Snake Lance, take a copy of this information to His Highness Jiang Li!"
"After this, I will definitely make that detestable buzz cut pay the price he deserves!"
Qian Renxue walked to the window, her gaze cast toward the distant The Pope's Palace, a meaningful arc curving at the corner of her mouth.
Among the high-ranking members of Spirit Hall, there had always been a plan temporarily shelved: the so-called Soul Hunting Plan.
This plan was initially proposed when Qian Xunji was in charge, but after that incident occurred, it naturally stalled.
"My foolish older sister, aren't you planning to restart this plan?"
"And preparing to make the Tang Sect, which I favor, the first target?"
A disdainful smile curled on her lips.
To effectively strike the Tang Sect, the Titled Douluo under Bibi Dong's command would naturally not be enough; ultimately, she would have to borrow the power of the Hall of Worship.
At that time, she would switch the target from the Tang Sect to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!
Destroy Yu Xiaogang's Family, slaughter his entire clan!
She wanted to see how that self-righteous buzz cut could possibly rekindle his relationship with Bibi Dong in the face of the revenge for his clan's extermination! How would Bibi Dong face that good-for-nothing's despairing eyes?
...
On the other side, the Tang Sect.
After receiving the message sent by Qian Renxue, although Jiang Li felt a bit surprised, he felt everything was under control.
Those good-for-nothings' potential had already greatly diminished after consuming the blood ginseng, not to mention that he controlled almost all the Immortal Herbs on the continent. Even if those few good-for-nothings became Soul Kings, they would only be empty shells with strength on the outside but weakness within; that was all.
Turning his attention elsewhere, he used his Blue Silver Emperor status to make the Blue Silver Grass along the way act as his informants and then stopped paying further attention.
...
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
With Flender and Liu Erlong, two Soul Saint experts, clearing the path forcefully, this Soul Hunting operation belonging to Shrek Academy proceeded exceptionally smoothly.
Ma Hongjun successfully obtained his fourth Soul Ring, reaching Rank 41.
Yu Tianheng also successfully absorbed a sub-dragon-type Soul Beast, advancing to a Rank 51 Soul King.
The massive increase in Soul Power, to a certain extent, produced an effect similar to an anesthetic, temporarily masking the discomfort and pain in their bodies.
Thus, an extremely inflated illusion arose in their hearts.
Yu Tianheng clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within him: 'I am a Soul King now! I don't fear even Tang San!"
(Logical Formula: Yu Tianheng = Soul King = Tang San)
Dai Mubai was even more bursting with confidence: 'This young master is also at the combat strength of a quasi-Soul King! Coupled with the Teacher's guidance, taking down Dugu Yan or Xiao Wu would be as easy as snapping my fingers!"
(Logical Formula: Dai Mubai = Quasi-Soul King > Dugu Yan + Xiao Wu + Tai Long)
In their view, two Soul Kings possessing top-tier Beast Martial Souls couldn't possibly be defeated by the riffraff of the Tang Sect?
Not to mention the tactical guidance provided by Master Yu, the Continents Number One Theory Master!
This advantage was theirs!
At this moment, Master Yu was leading Dai Mubai deep into a dark and damp area of Sunset Forest.
According to Master Yu's thinking, since Dai Mubai's poison attribute was meant to be taken to the extreme, the Soul Rings from spider-type Soul Beasts were opportunities that could not be missed!
The area they were currently in was the gathering place for spider-type Soul Beasts in Sunset Forest.
As they ventured deeper, signs of thousand-year-old spider-type Soul Beasts lurking about became increasingly obvious.
"Mubai, this time your Soul Ring had best be chosen from top-tier spider-type Soul Beasts like the Man Faced Demon Spider, Soul Devouring Demon Spider, or Cave Dwelling Demon Spider!"
"Spirit Hall's Pope Bibi Dong absorbed her Soul Rings this way, which is why she possesses such combat strength at such a young age!"
"Your teacher is letting you replicate the Pope's path to success! As long as you absorb these Soul Rings, your White Tiger Martial Soul might undergo an unprecedented mutation!"
Dai Mubai's eyes shone brighter the more he listened.
Indeed! Although that buzz cut was Trash at cultivation himself, he truly understood Bibi Dong! He even knew the Pope's cultivation Secret Manual!
The moment he thought about replicating the Pope's success, Dai Mubai's ambition instantly inflated to the extreme.
My foolish older brother, what will you use to compete with me then?
This Prince sees that my sister-in-law is still quite charming!
Soon, the rustling sound in the jungle caught everyone's attention.
Master Yu retreated a step without leaving a trace, placing Flender and Liu Erlong in front of him for protection.
As the sound rapidly approached, everyone finally saw the true face of that colossal creature!
With incomparably sharp spider legs and a human-like face on its lower abdomen, it was clearly a ten-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider!
"Mubai, the Soul Beast suitable for you has been found!"
Master Yu was overjoyed and quickly commanded Flender and Liu Erlong to step forward and hunt the Soul Ring for his precious Disciple.
"Mubai, this time the Soul Ring you are absorbing is a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. Remember to guard your true heart and certainly resist the Soul shock from the Soul Beast's lingering will!"
Master Yu stepped forward, patted Dai Mubai's shoulder, and imparted the theory he had only recently learned...
