After effortlessly dispatching the four men, Qian Yu began searching the Soul Hunting Forest for a suitable soul beast.
Most of the soul beasts here were captive-raised, so they weren't particularly strong. However, finding a thousand-year soul beast should still be manageable.
Qian Yu held himself to high standards. After all, he had achieved godhood in his ninth life. To ascend to godhood in this life, his first Soul Ring had to be at least a thousand years old. The closer to ten thousand years, the better.
Thus, Qian Yu began scouring the Soul Hunting Forest.
Just then, he sensed numerous soul beasts locking onto him.
He turned around and saw a pack of Netherwolves closing in. Unable to sense Qian Yu's aura, they saw only a child and assumed he'd make a fine meal.
In an instant, over a dozen Netherwolves lunged at him.
Qian Yu's gaze turned icy as he unleashed his aura.
*Shiiing! Shiiing! Shiiing!*
A series of explosive sounds rang out.
Spikes of earth erupted from the ground, piercing through every Netherwolf.
This was Qian Yu's Martial Soul: Rare Earth.
Rare Earth was an earth-type Martial Soul, allowing Qian Yu to shape earth into various forms.
Rare Earth could condense into a shield to block attacks or form into a sword for combat. It shared some similarities with Qian Yu's Begonia Martial Soul.
The key difference was that Begonia Martial Soul grew stronger in the presence of water, while Rare Earth Martial Soul thrived in areas rich with earth.
In moments, Qian Yu slaughtered over a dozen Netherwolves.
As night began to fall, he found a spacious clearing and prepared to camp there for the night. He built a fire and retrieved a tent from his space ring. Then, he caught a Netherwolf, cleaned it, and skewered it for roasting.
Despite his formidable strength, Qian Yu still needed to eat to replenish his energy. He knew the aroma of roasting meat would attract numerous soul beasts, but he wasn't concerned. In fact, he hoped to lure them in so he could select a stronger opponent.
As for danger, his current strength allowed him to face even a ten-thousand-year soul beast in battle. He doubted any soul beast in the Soul Hunting Forest could truly challenge him.
Soon, the grease began to drip from the small wolf, and a rich aroma wafted through the air.
Qian Yu also caught the aroma and immediately pulled out salt, chili powder, Sichuan pepper powder, and finally a sprinkle of cumin from his storage space.
Instantly, the aroma of the roasted wolf intensified.
At that moment, the surrounding soul beasts caught the scent and began converging on Qian Yu.
Ignoring the gathering soul beasts, Qian Yu retrieved a bottle of wine he had been storing for hundreds of thousands of years and began drinking.
How could such a feast be enjoyed without fine wine?
The surrounding soul beasts glared hungrily at Qian Yu.
Qian Yu simply ignored them and started eating.
Suddenly, with a thunderous roar, a Centennial tiger lunged at Qian Yu.
But Qian Yu didn't even glance at it.
The bone he was gnawing on shot out from his hand with a *whoosh*.
*Thud!*
The charging tiger was instantly impaled by the bone and collapsed dead on the ground.
Witnessing this, the gathered soul beasts began to grow wary.
Though their intelligence was limited, seeing Qian Yu so effortlessly dispatch a Centennial soul beast made them hesitate.
Qian Yu continued eating the roasted meat, drinking his wine, and humming a tune.
He was utterly content.
Suddenly, a four-hundred-year-old Netherwolf leaped out from behind Qian Yu, its crimson eyes blazing with vengeance.
"A Centennial soul beast," Qian Yu sighed. "Too low-level. I don't want it!"
Without moving a muscle, he sent a Wind Blade flying out, instantly annihilating the Netherwolf.
The surrounding soul beasts seemed to realize they weren't a match for Qian Yu and retreated in unison.
Yet some foolhardy creatures remained hidden in the shadows, biding their time.
*Rrrp, rrrp, rrrp...* A series of urgent hisses suddenly pierced the night.
The forest fell deathly still. The faint rustling of leaves now sounded crystal clear to Qian Yu's ears. A faint, metallic scent hung in the air, faintly sweet and carrying a hint of tea fragrance.
Qian Yu focused his gaze and saw a snake slithering into view.
A Mandala Snake.
A four-hundred-year-old soul beast.
Qian Yu stared calmly at the serpent, a cold smile curling his lips. "Little one," he taunted, "are you here to eat me?"
Qian Yu smiled calmly. At that moment, the Mandala Snake suddenly accelerated, lunging towards him with a bite.
It aimed to strike Qian Yu, its maw gaping wide, ready to snap shut.
Just then, Qian Yu's gaze turned icy.
The air around him chilled.
Countless droplets of water vapor condensed into icicles, hovering in the air before stabbing forward with lethal precision.
*Shiiing! Shiiing! Shiiing!*
The air filled with the sound of piercing.
Icicles stabbed into the Mandala Snake's body.
*Hiss!*
The snake screeched and immediately slithered into the undergrowth, disappearing.
Qian Yu didn't pursue it. He had struck the snake's vulnerable spot; it wouldn't live long.
Having repelled the Mandala Snake, Qian Yu unleashed his Begonia Martial Soul.
Instantly, a toxic mist formed around him, enveloping and protecting Qian Yu.
The mist's toxicity was lethal; even a whiff would prove fatal to any living creature.
Then, he entered the tent and fell asleep, completely unconcerned about any further danger.
***
Deep within the Soul Hunting Forest, Tang San and his Grandmaster appeared utterly battered and exhausted, as if they had just endured a fierce battle.
Grandmaster's robes were torn and tattered, while Tang San, though slightly better off, was drained of energy and needed rest.
"Damn it, I never expected that Centennial soul beast to be so powerful," Grandmaster grumbled.
"It's alright, Master," Tang San said quickly. "Let's rest for now and search for a better soul beast tomorrow."
Grandmaster began to berate himself. "I'm sorry, Little San. My strength is too weak to find you a suitable Soul Ring. How about this? Tomorrow, let's see if we can find a suitable ten-year Soul Ring for you."
Tang San looked at Grandmaster. Though he said nothing, he finally understood what Qian Yu had meant earlier.
*Theoretically, having such a teacher could be helpful, but in actual soul beast hunts, he's completely useless.*
However, a day as a teacher makes one a father for life.
Even so, Tang San still stood by Grandmaster.
Tang San nodded. "Alright, I believe in you, Teacher!"
*Hiss—*
Suddenly, a sound echoed as a massive snake head emerged.
Grandmaster saw the enormous snake head and exclaimed in alarm, "Xiao San, it's a Mandala Snake! We're no match for it! Run!"
He immediately turned to flee.
At that moment, Tang San noticed the snake had slithered in front of him, already on its last breath.
"Teacher, this snake seems severely injured. It's almost dead," Tang San said quickly.
Hearing this, Grandmaster stopped running and burst into laughter. "Excellent, Xiao San! You're incredibly lucky! Quickly, kill this Mandala Snake! Its Soul Ring will be perfect for you!"
