Douluo Continent: Son of the God King, Chaotic Time and Space

Knowing the specific year, they landed in areas where spirit beasts of that year might appear.

Xuanzi immediately concealed himself and handed the space over to the three of them.

With the imposing aura of a level 98 Title Douluo, finding soul beasts becomes much more difficult.

Safety can be left to Zhang Lexuan, but without activating her martial soul, her aura is not enough to scare away a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

"You two have a clear idea of ​​what kind of spirit beasts you need, but spirit beasts that are the right age are very rare. We may have to stay here for quite some time, so you should be prepared," Zhang Lexuan reminded them, as this is a standard procedure.

When living away from home, Ji Siyuan and Huo Yuhao have absolutely no worries, especially when it comes to food. As a culinary expert, Ji Siyuan can create all sorts of delicious dishes, even if he doesn't make simple grilled fish or meat.

Finding a place to stay is a bit of a hassle, since there are only three of us including Zhang Lexuan, making it a bit difficult to keep watch at night.

They were a little uneasy about entrusting the night watch to the soul tool, so they could only take turns keeping watch.

This wasn't Zhang Lexuan's first time hunting spirit beasts. In terms of experience alone, she was far more experienced than the two of them combined. Her problem was that she was also a teacher in the outer academy. Fortunately, she wasn't the only teacher in the freshman class; Wang Yan had taken over a large part of the work.

Most of the three people's problems have been resolved or alleviated, freeing up time for them to find suitable soul beasts.

At the same time, Ji Siyuan and Huo Yuhao can also hone their combat skills.

Within the academy, their battles with Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were mostly sparring matches. Not only were there instances of holding back, but they also lacked the atmosphere of life-or-death struggle.

Sparring and life-or-death battles are all about that spirit. In a fight to the death, when everything is up against them, creatures are more likely to unleash potential beyond their own capabilities. This is a power bestowed upon creatures by heaven; even with suppressed martial spirits or severely injured, they can still unleash even greater power in the face of life and death.

The will to live in the face of death is a powerful will that no amount of fighting spirit can match. Only by experiencing it can one become more adept in future battles.

Just like when Ji Siyuan first came to this world and fought the Flame Demon Lion for the first time, although he was indeed not as good as Tang San in terms of skills, it was also related to his lack of combat experience.

The same logic applies to the battle with Xu Sanshi. He only made a superficial judgment that he might win in a one-on-one fight, but Xu Sanshi knew that he would definitely lose to Ji Siyuan in a one-on-one fight.

Ji Siyuan had only experienced two life-or-death battles. The battle against the Flame Demon Lion was with Tang San as a trump card. With Tang Sect's ultimate skills and combat experience, he was incredibly cool.

Some time ago, he even drew his sword directly, a fight that was completely out of this level.

I haven't accumulated any experience in life-or-death battles.

This is a great opportunity to train.

The mixed zone near the Star Dou Great Forest has a high probability of encountering powerful soul beasts. Moreover, these are very likely soul beasts that require a life-or-death battle.

As expected, the thousand-year-old soul beast, the Void Demon Leopard, suddenly appeared, its concealment methods being incredibly sophisticated.

The sudden attack would have left other Great Soul Masters with no chance to react, but it was against Ji Siyuan and Huo Yuhao.

Both of them have their own detection cheats. Even without using the power of these cheats, Huo Yuhao still has the powerful soul skill of sharing mental detection.

The two had already sensed the appearance of the Void Demon Leopard and prepared defensive measures.

"Flame Vortex! (Yang Fire)"

"Mental interference!"

The two attacked together, and the effects of their mental attributes landed on the Void Demon Leopard, causing its speed to drop by a level.

The agility-based Void Demon Leopard was originally among the fastest Soul Masters. This nerf has reduced it to a barely normal agility-based Soul Master level. It's no longer possible to dodge Ji Siyuan's Flame Vortex using speed; the only option is to take it head-on.

The violent yang fire struck, instantly igniting the creature. The flames immediately set the Void Demon Leopard's fur ablaze, causing it to howl in agony.

"The Void Demon Leopard!" Huo Yuhao immediately recognized the soul beast: "Siyuan, be careful, it's very fast."

This Void Demon Leopard isn't very old; it would take them two a lot of time to deal with it individually, but it would be much easier if they worked together.

Huo Yuhao spread his fingers slightly, then clenched them: "Mental weakness."

The Purple Spirit Wolf Skull Soul Bone Technique further weakened the speed upon which the Void Demon Leopard relied for survival.

Huo Yuhao focused on crowd control, while Ji Siyuan took over the damage output.

"My flames are dual-extreme." Ji Siyuan waved his hand, and the dim flames gradually expanded, their momentum no weaker than the flame vortex just now.

Two extreme flames ignited, burning fiercely on the Void Demon Leopard's body. Even when the Void Demon Leopard used its soul skill, it was powerless to stop them.

Ji Siyuan: "I'll see you off! First Soul Skill, Fire Demon Vortex!"

The flames surged again, forming a vortex, completely driving away the Void Demon Leopard.

A purple spirit ring rose from the corpse of the Void Demon Leopard.

Unfortunately, neither of them needed such a spirit ring.

The two worked together seamlessly, with almost no gaps in their coordination. The only problem was that they didn't end up in a life-or-death struggle.

"A three-thousand-year-old Void Demon Leopard, you dealt with it so easily?" Zhang Lexuan's lips twitched. It wasn't that she hadn't seen the life-or-death struggle between the two; she hadn't seen their full strength at all.

Huo Yuhao did not use his ultimate ice skill, and Ji Siyuan did not use his second soul skill.

Not to mention they also have the trump card of a Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

The battle with Xu Sanshi made it public that they possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

To put them in a life-or-death situation, you have to force them to use their Soul Fusion Technique, or prevent them from using it altogether. The result was that the three-thousand-year-old Void Demon Leopard was far from adequate.

"How should I put it, you two, the intensity is a bit too high."

The two of them felt it was only natural; with an absolutely top-tier martial spirit and a large amount of spiritual objects absorbed, not having such combat power would be a failure.

"I remember the academy also has the left leg bone of a Void Demon Panther, originally intended as a reward for freshmen assessments. Would you like it?"

The reward for the new student assessment—a feline soul bone—seems to be prepared for Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.

If it weren't for Ji Siyuan and Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin, with his three-ring cultivation and martial soul fusion skill, would indeed have been the most likely candidate to win the championship. Unfortunately, he's now dead, not even a hair left.

The two said in unison, "No need." How good could the soul bone reward from the freshman assessment be? Would it be worthy of them?

Ji Siyuan knew perfectly well that the age limit of that soul bone was clearly stated and wouldn't be high. He wouldn't even consider anything less than ten thousand years old, let alone anything less. Unless it was something exceptional.

"It seems the only way for the two of us to obtain spirit rings is to go to the mixed zone. There are no suitable spirit beasts in the outer area."

The conclusion is not difficult to reach; it's just that going to the mixed zone is more dangerous.

Zhang Lexuan: "Then let's go. With me by your side, there won't be any problem with soul beasts under 100,000 years old."
