Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's youthful innocence, I tricked her into becoming my wife

Chapter 114 Sunset Soul Hunt! The Four Rings of Ten Thousand Years!

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Outside Sunset Forest, Ye Hua led the team.

This time, he refused the help from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the academy, which can be considered a form of training.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were absent because they were sent by the Tiandou Royal Academy for special training.

By the time Ye Hua delivered the medicine, the remaining Royal Fighting Team 1 and 2 had temporarily merged and set off.

"Ye Hua," Ning Rongrong tilted her head, "you're really not going to make a move?"

"No!" Ye Hua shrugged. "My job is to watch from the sidelines and cover for you."

"Why?!" Wang Qiu'er protested, covering her forehead.

“Because I’m in charge, it’s none of your business,” Ye Hua said irritably.

Thanks to their frenzied cultivation, his soul power also increased through the [Bound Chains].

With the combined blessings of Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Wang Qiu'er, they reached level 55!

Seeing Ye Hua's resolute attitude, Wang Qiu'er muttered a few words and obediently retreated to the back.

"Moreover, this Soul Hunt is the final practical training session before the competition."

"They're all quasi-Soul Masters, and they can't even handle a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast. How are they going to compete?"

Zhu Zhuqing sensed something was amiss. "Brother Ye, you're not going to skip the Soul Master Competition, are you?"

The atmosphere in the room froze.

Ye Hua chuckled, "You guessed that?"

"If I participate in the competition, what if those geniuses from the Empire see a 100,000-year-old soul ring and my Dao Heart is shattered?"

"I'm just kind-hearted; I can't bear to destroy the flowers of the empire!"

"Tch—" The letter read, "..."

Ye Hua shrugged. "Anyway, I've made up my mind. My position will be taken over by someone from Blue Lightning Tyrant Academy."

"But that's a matter for later; let's achieve our goal first."

Ye Hua closed his eyes, and the auspicious beast's perception expanded.

The aura of the soul beasts within a radius of several miles clearly appeared in his mind.

After a moment, Ye Hua slowly opened his eyes.

"found it!"

"Southeast!"

Ye Hua led his team to ambush the stream. The water was crystal clear, and a leopard with a completely black body was lying on the pebbles.

Its body length is close to that of a sedan chair, and its fur is as smooth as silk, with dark purple stripes that are faintly visible in the sunlight.

At this moment, it is dozing with its eyes closed, its tail occasionally flicking and splashing water.

“The Shadow Nether Leopard,” Ye Hua said in a low voice, “has ten thousand years of cultivation, and its speed and dark attributes are highly compatible with Zhu Qing.”

Zhu Zhuqing stood up with her cat ears perked up and looked at Ye Hua.

Ye Hua nodded, "Go ahead, I'll cover for you."

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, activated her Netherworld Cat Martial Soul, and her figure blurred as she rushed straight towards her opponent!

Xiao Wu followed closely behind, ready to provide support at any time. Meng Yiran took out her snake staff, and Wang Qiu'er picked up her golden dragon spear!

Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda lit up, "The nine treasures radiate glaze, representing three aspects: power, speed, and soul!"

The three amplifications landed precisely on the front row.

The Shadow Panther suddenly awoke, and upon seeing Zhu Zhuqing charging towards it, let out a low growl.

But Zhu Zhuqing didn't give it a chance to react at all, and activated her second soul skill, [Netherworld Hundred Claws].

The figure spun in mid-air, unleashing hundreds of attacks, relentlessly targeting vital points with high attack speed.

The Shadow Panther dodged to the side, but was intercepted from behind by Xiao Wu.

"Bow your back!"

Xiao Wu hooked her legs around the leopard's waist, displaying extreme flexibility, and forcefully flung the Shadow Nether Leopard away.

Meng Yiran's eight spider spears shot out, piercing through the leopard's waist with a thud, and blood splattered everywhere!

The fluid movements kept the Shadow Panther constantly on its toes.

But it was, after all, a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and when its life was threatened, it immediately became ferocious!

Dark purple soul power condensed around him, transforming into countless shadow arrows that shot out in all directions.

Zhu Zhuqing's pupils constricted slightly as she somersaulted through the air, weaving among the arrows.

Xiao Wu also teleported to dodge, and Meng Yiran blocked with her Eight Spider Spears.

Ning Rongrong decisively hid behind Wang Qiu'er, and heard the "bang bang bang" sound of the Golden Dragon Spear in her ears.

"Let me show you how powerful I am!"

Ning Rongrong shouted, wielding both the Zhuge Soul-Guided Crossbow and the Three-Eyed Ice-Fire Gun!

The former delivered a precise strike, while the latter unleashed overwhelming firepower, instantly obliterating the Shadow Panther emblem.

Having finally forced Meng Yiran back, the leopard, still catching its breath, was punched with large, bloody holes and charred remains!

"Roar--!!!"

The cries and screams were incessant!

Zhu Zhuqing seized the opportunity and thrust the Netherworld Thrust straight at the throat.

puff!

Cat claws tore through flesh!

The scream abruptly stopped, and his body collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The black soul ring slowly rose and floated in mid-air.

Zhu Zhuqing quickly sat cross-legged to absorb the soul ring.

“You all take a rest,” Ye Hua finally took out the Nine Dragons Spirit Yang Staff, “I will protect you.”

Ten thousand years of soul power surged through Zhu Zhuqing's body, causing beads of sweat to appear on her forehead and her face to turn pale and flushed intermittently.

"Can Sister Zhuqing manage?" Xiaowu asked, slightly out of breath.

Ye Hua stared at Zhu Zhuqing, "With the enhancement of immortal herbs and medicines, your physiques far surpass those of ordinary people, so there won't be any accidents."

Just as Ye Hua had predicted, after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief.

His soul power surged, jumping from level 40 to level 42!

The fourth soul ring spun around her, emitting a deep black glow!

"It's done!" Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with surprise.

Xiao Wu rushed over and hugged her, "Sister Zhu Qing, you're a Soul Master now!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and looked at Ye Hua, "Thank you, Brother Ye."

Ye Hua waved his hand, "A great start, let's keep it up!"

The stench of blood and gore was overwhelming, and the subsequent Soul Hunters swept through the enemy ranks with unstoppable momentum.

With their successful experience, the team's coordination has become increasingly seamless.

In less than two hours, Ye Hua found a suitable ten-thousand-year-old soul beast for Meng Yiran—the ten-thousand-year-old Jade Scale Poisonous Serpent.

Meng Yiran absorbed the knowledge more effortfully than Zhu Zhuqing, after all, she was not as naturally gifted, but fortunately, it was controllable.

The venomous properties of the Jade Scale Serpent are highly compatible with her martial soul, and the Eight Spider Spears have also evolved slightly, with their tips emitting a faint green light.

After absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring, her soul power soared to level forty-two!

As for Xiao Wu, Ye Hua also hunted down soul rings for her.

Although soul beasts can take human form and condense soul rings on their own, who knows if these soul rings can condense for ten thousand years?

"Rongrong, it's your turn."

Ye Hua turned around, his senses expanding once more.

But this time, they reaped no rewards for a long time.

They searched the area within a ten-mile radius several times, but still couldn't find a soul beast suitable for the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

“Strange,” Ye Hua frowned. “Although there aren’t many soul beasts suitable for support-type martial souls, it shouldn’t be that we can’t find any, right?”

Ning Rongrong was quite relaxed about it, saying, "It's okay, we can take our time looking for it. There's no rush."

Xiao Wu chimed in, "Yeah, if it really doesn't work out, we can come back tomorrow. Anyway, the soul beast can't escape."

Ye Hua looked up at the sky and saw that the moon had already risen halfway. He shook his head slightly.

"Let's keep looking. If we really can't find it, we'll have to set up camp for now."

Fortunately, Ye Hua repeatedly spread the auspicious beast's senses and finally found a suitable soul beast a few miles away.

The four-eyed scaled beast, which has existed for ten thousand years, perfectly complements Ning Rongrong's increased defensive capabilities.

But just as Ye Hua, in order to save time, personally prepared the ambush and had Ning Rongrong finish him off—

"Wait! No!"

"Do you want her dead?"

Ye Hua looked up in confusion and saw a young man with short white hair, wearing dark-colored clothes, and with half of his face covered by a black mask, standing on a treetop next to him.

Chapter 115 Feng Xiaotian! What the hell!

Feng Xiaotian?

Ye Hua recognized the person who came.

Captain of the Kamikaze Academy team, a level 44 agility-based Soul Master, whose Martial Soul is the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf.

Behind him followed the Kamikaze team members, all dressed in the same G-class combat uniforms.

“I’m telling you,” Feng Xiaotian said, seeing that Ye Hua didn’t react, “you’re harming her by letting her absorb the ten-thousand-year soul ring!”

"The limit for the fourth soul ring is five thousand years. This is an ironclad rule in the soul master world. This girl is only a quasi-soul master. Absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring would be the death of her, wouldn't it?"

Before Ye Hua could speak, Ning Rongrong poked her head out.

“Thank you for reminding us,” Ning Rongrong said politely, “but we are confident.”

"Are you confident?" the short-haired girl from the Kamikaze team asked. "Do you know how violent the energy of a ten-thousand-year soul ring is?"

"Even a Soul Master specializing in offensive attacks would only explode and die if forcibly absorbed!"

“Exactly,” another male team member chimed in, “you guys are gambling with your lives!”

Feng Xiaotian frowned. "Brother, are you their team leader?"

"I guess so." Ye Hua nodded.

“Then you should know the upper limit of the Fourth Ring even better,” Feng Xiaotian said, his tone becoming more serious. “Don’t joke around with their lives!”

"I know what I'm doing," Ye Hua said calmly.

"You've got nothing but a fart!" the male team member cursed. "You're a liar!"

"I've lived for over a decade and I've never seen anyone like you!"

"Exactly," the female team member chimed in, "They gave me a friendly reminder and then gave me the cold shoulder, they don't know what's good for them!"

Feng Xiaotian looked at Ning Rongrong, "Classmate, are you really going to listen to him? This is a matter of life and death!"

Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips and said, "Of course I'll listen to him. Teacher Ye wouldn't harm me!"
