In Douluo, there is a way to die.

Chapter 58 Qian Renxue

"Young Master, you're embarrassing me by saying that," said one of the middle-aged men with a crew cut who was following the blonde girl. His voice carried a certain age that didn't match his appearance. "A fire-attributed ten thousand year soul beast is fine, but a light or divine-attributed ten thousand year soul beast is extremely rare. I'm afraid it'll take us quite some effort; it's not something we can find in a short time."

"It doesn't matter. If we still can't find the target by the final time, we can just choose a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast with fire attribute." A hesitant look appeared on the face of the blonde girl, but she seemed to have thought of something. Finally, she gritted her teeth and answered with a determined look.

"She Long, what are you talking about?" A disgruntled look crossed the face of the slightly overweight man on the other side of the blonde girl. "Even if we have to plunder every inch of the Star Dou Great Forest, we must find the Unicorn of Light for the young master. We can't let his future be ruined!"

"I was confused," the man called She Long said apologetically, "That old fellow Cixue is right. We will do our best for you, young master. Please rest assured!"

But having said that, the three of them actually had no idea what was going on.

It's not that they are worried about their own safety. Not to mention that they are accompanied by a team of Spirit Hall guards, She Long and Ci Xue are both Titled Douluo with a cultivation base of level 92. As long as they don't encounter some extremely strange ten thousand year soul beasts, they can definitely come and go freely in this mixed circle.

The problem is that this place is really too big, and there is even another part of it in the Xingluo Empire. If the soul beast that the blonde girl, Qian Renxue, needs happens to be on the other side of the Xingluo Empire, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth on the light road, and this does not include the time required to find the soul beast.

Qian Renxue set a time limit of only one week to obtain the spirit ring, no more than half a month at most. Once she left the Tiandou Palace for too long, she was afraid that some changes would occur in the palace, causing her plan to steal the country, which she had spent seven years on, to fail.

This amount of time is really too short. It is common for soul masters who are at a bottleneck to not find the soul rings they want. It is even normal for soul masters to be stuck at a bottleneck and live in the soul beast forest for two or three months because they cannot find the soul beast they like. After all, the end point of each soul master is determined early on by their innate soul power. Soul masters who are not so talented will not care about wasting a lot of training time and can slowly look for the soul rings they want.

In this way, until three days later, the group still failed to find the target set by Qian Daoliu for Qian Renxue, the Bright Unicorn, which was just over ten thousand years old. However, they did find quite a few ten thousand year old fire attribute soul beasts, among which there was even a Flame Lion King that had just reached the so-called "fifth soul ring absorption limit" and was about 12000 years old.

But this kind of soul beast was definitely not what the three of them wanted, so in the end they only noted down the activity range of the Flame Lion King. If they still couldn't find the Light Unicorn after half a month, they would have to use the Flame Lion King as Qian Renxue's fifth soul ring.

The three of them are not as bloodthirsty as Liu Erlong (this guy had a hobby of slaughtering soul beasts until the main storyline period, and it is really hard to change it. Just because Yu Xiaogang ran away and didn't marry her, she used this method to relieve her pain. It can only be said that Douluo's love brain is really annoying). They will not take the initiative to attack non-target soul beasts, and even if a soul beast actively provokes them, they will only drive it away and will not chase it, unless they encounter a soul beast that keeps pestering them, they will kill it.

As a side note, during the era of Douluo Dalu, some high-ranking human leaders had already realized the increasing number of human spirit masters. Their cultivation speed far surpassed that of spirit beasts. If this indiscriminate killing were not curbed, the future of humanity would be in a predicament of having no spirit rings left. This is indeed true. If it weren't for the removal of the divine realm's restrictions 20,000 years later, the rapid development of human spirit guidance technology, the mature cloning technology, and the soul contract left by Huo Kaoyu, the spirit master profession might still exist in the era of Douluo Dalu. However, it would be difficult for truly high-end individual combatants to emerge. By then, the world would be dominated by spirit guides.

Counting on a dynamic balance between human combat power and soul beast combat power - that is, because of the decrease in soul beasts, humans have no excellent soul rings to choose from to break through the bottleneck, resulting in weakened combat power and being unable to defeat soul beasts. This gives soul beasts time to recuperate and reproduce again, giving humans soul rings to choose from again, until another Titled Douluo appears, and then more and more Titled Douluos appear, and then soul beasts decrease again, and there are no soul rings to choose from... This kind of cycle is formed. People who can come up with this theory are probably seriously ill.

Because human civilization will not stand still. Take the Earth for example. Humans a hundred years ago would never understand that humans today can know everything about the world with just a "small box". In the past hundred years, several species have become extinct or become rare species due to human development.

Moreover, the technology tree of Douluo Star has developed for ten thousand years from Dou Yi to Dou Er. Taking Douluo Star as an example, the strong attack-type peerless Douluo (Ultimate Douluo) of Dou Yi will never understand that in the Dou Er era, even an ordinary person can burst out an attack comparable to or even surpass that of a level 99 Ultimate Douluo with a level nine fixed-type soul guide shell in his hand.

The development of soul guides and the death of the emperor's auspicious beast, the three-eyed golden lion, directly made this so-called "dynamic cycle theory" impossible and a joke.

What is even more unknown is that in the era of Douluo Dalu, the force that cared the most and contributed the most to the issue of "curbing humans from killing soul beasts indiscriminately and protecting the soul beast forest ecology" was the Spirit Hall.

The various "Soul Hunting Forests" in the human world are funded and maintained by the Spirit Hall, and captive soul beasts are released into them. Compared with the "wild" soul beast forests such as the Star Dou Great Forest, they are safer, but it is also difficult to encounter more precious and powerful soul beasts. In addition, if you want to enter, you have to apply for a "Soul Hunting Order" from the Spirit Hall. When the Soul Hunting Order is issued, the person in charge will also remind the soul master many times not to kill soul beasts indiscriminately.

By the way, the Spirit Hall will check every once in a while how many soul beasts there are in the Soul Hunting Forest, what they are, and what their cultivation levels are. Soul masters who have finished soul hunting must return the warrant and update their own soul master information. Therefore, it is easy to find out whether anyone has killed soul beasts indiscriminately during this period.

That day, after a short lunch break, the group finished their rest and set off again to continue searching for the target soul beast for Qian Renxue in this mixed circle. Qian Renxue no longer desired the bright unicorn that her grandfather Qian Daoliu had set for her. As long as it was a ten thousand year old soul beast with light attributes, it would be fine.

Not long after they started walking, two terrifying auras attacked from the front, causing the earth to shake. A large number of the Spirit Hall guards who were accompanying them fell down in a sudden crash, and She Long and Cixue's faces changed at the same time.
