Chapter 76: The whereabouts of the Soul Beast that grants the third Soul Skill

"Alright, since there are no problems, let's not discuss this further for now."

Guangling took the initiative to end this relatively heavy topic and looked at the three of them.

"I'll go back to Heaven Dou City this afternoon to see if there's any news about the soul beast that Xiao Li wanted before."

"You should stay and protect them, and also consolidate your cultivation and give your granddaughter some psychological counseling, so you won't be caught off guard later."

He paused here, glanced at Han Li discreetly, and continued:

"Perfect timing, her spirit ring elixir should have arrived by now. We'll have Xiao Li guide her through taking it, so that she can strengthen it as much as possible before her spirit evolves, and the success rate will be higher."

Han Li understood Guang Ling's meaning and nodded. He was also preparing to bring up this matter, and since his master had spoken, he agreed.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Don't worry, with me here, the two children will be fine."

A look of gratitude flashed across Dugu Bo's face.

Guangling waved his hand, ending the topic. He had heard this kind of talk too many times these days and was almost immune to it.

In the afternoon, seeing Han Li re-enter a meditative state, Guang Ling greeted Dugu Bo and then soared into the sky, heading towards Tian Dou City.

……

Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Hall.

Guangling changed into a new disguise, took Salas's token, and entered his office without any hindrance.

"Five Offerings, the information you had your subordinates inquire about has yielded some results."

Upon seeing Guangling, Salas immediately stood up to greet her and told her the news she wanted to hear.

"Oh? Tell me, what kind of spirit beast is it, and what are the specifics?"

Guangling didn't bother with formalities, casually found a seat, and turned to ask.

"It's really not easy to find a soul beast that matches your criteria, but I mobilized all my personnel to search for relevant information. Coincidentally, just yesterday, while I was going through the files, I happened to see a soul beast that matched your criteria."

Salas quickly explained the hardships involved, then respectfully took out a piece of paper and handed it over.

"This is the relevant information about the soul beasts. Please take a look and see if you are satisfied."

Guangling nodded casually, ignoring the hardships Salas mentioned, and took the paper to read.

"Azure Shadow Divine Eagle? That sounds familiar, I think I've heard that name somewhere before."

He muttered something to himself and continued reading.

"The Azure Shadow Divine Eagle is the fastest flying eagle. It possesses high-speed flight and sharp talons, capable of killing with a single blow. It can also alter its own mass to increase its flight speed. Furthermore, the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle Martial Soul has the ability to track its target. Once the tracking skill is activated, no matter how fast the target is, it will be difficult to escape the pursuit of this powerful predator."

"Extremely fast speed, changing its own mass, it's a wind-type ability."

Guangling slapped his forehead and finally remembered where he had heard it before. Qingluan had told him a long time ago that when he was hunting souls, he had encountered a soul beast called the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle, but because he did not recognize it at the time, it escaped, and he regretted it for a long time afterward.

Whether it's speed or changing its own mass, these characteristics are quite suitable for Xiao Li.

Wind element isn't a problem, since it doesn't conflict with his attributes, but it's estimated that it will be difficult to overcome the repulsion of ice and fire elements.

"Great, that's it. By the way, have you finalized the activity area?"

Guangling put the paper away, nodded in satisfaction at Salas, and asked.

"Not yet."

Salas answered cautiously, and seeing that Guangling didn't seem to mind, he quickly added:

"However, I have already sent a message to inform them that our people encountered the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle in the Star Dou Great Forest about half a month ago. But because it is extremely fast, it quickly disappeared. If we only need to confirm the general area, ten days, no, a week should be enough."

Salas proactively shortened the search time, preparing to send a message soon, offering substantial rewards to intelligence personnel to diligently investigate.

Seeing his reaction, Guangling knew that this guy was going to exploit the lower-level staff again, so he immediately waved his hand: "No rush, as long as there is news within half a month, don't let the intelligence personnel go deep into the territory on their own because of me. There is no need for unnecessary casualties."

"Yes, five offerings."

Hearing Guangling's words, Salas secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he could, he wouldn't want to do it this way either, since it would be his subordinates who would suffer the loss.

"By the way, what's been happening on His Highness's side lately?" Guangling suddenly changed the subject.

"Any movement? There doesn't seem to be anything else. If there is anything, it's that His Highness missed a day of official business, claiming to be unwell. However, I have already inquired and found out that it was just an excuse used by His Highness to make a breakthrough. This has happened before, and it's nothing serious. He was back to normal the next day."

Salas wasn't surprised that Guangling asked this question. Judging from the frequency of their contact, the two must have a very good relationship. He honestly reported back to his superior.

"Has it broken through?"

Guangling smiled. Xiaoxue should have successfully absorbed the immortal herb.

"Alright, I'm about to leave. Just keep an eye on the Azure Shadow Divine Eagle's news. I'll be back in half a month."

Guangling stood up and walked towards the door.

"Oh, right, remember to tell them to have the intelligence personnel keep an eye on things, but don't alert them."

Finally, just before leaving, Guangling turned around and gave her one last piece of advice.

"Yes, five offerings, I will certainly convey the message."

Salas bowed and left quickly after Guangling finished speaking.

……

On this trip back to Heaven Dou City, Guang Ling received news of the soul beast Han Li needed, and was in a very good mood. When returning to Sunset Forest, even her flying speed was much faster than before.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li, come out quickly, there's news about your third spirit ring."

As soon as Guangling landed in the basin where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was located, she shouted loudly in the direction of the stone chamber where Han Li was cultivating.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Han Li stopped cultivating, stood up, lifted the vines at the cave entrance, and walked out, a hint of helplessness on his face.

This is why Douluo Continent doesn't emphasize the concept of "going into demonic possession"; the circulation routes of soul power are relatively fixed, and they are all wide meridians that can be stopped at will.

Otherwise, given his master's actions, in another world, his fate would definitely be a reverse flow of internal energy, ruptured meridians, and death from bleeding from all seven orifices.

"Master, what kind of spirit beast is it?"

Han Li took the initiative to go forward and spoke to Guang Ling, who had a happy expression on her face.

"Look, it's all up there. Take a look for yourself. I think it suits you perfectly. Even your Martial Uncle Qingluan couldn't catch this guy back then."

Guangling took out the papers she had previously put away from her storage belt and handed them over.

"Azure Shadow Divine Eagle?"

Han Li had a vague impression of the name just from seeing it.

He calmed himself and continued reading until he had finished all the information, then nodded. He remembered that in later generations there seemed to be a Divine Eagle Douluo who was said to be able to match the speed of a level 99 at level 97, but he hadn't seen the rest of the story and didn't have a deep impression of him.

However, just looking at the information recorded on the paper, he was already somewhat tempted.
