"Are you also here to obtain spirit rings?" Ning Fengzhi asked the two of them.
"Of course, I'll be a Soul Master soon." Bibi Dong raised her head.
After receiving the answer, Ning Fengzhi said happily:
"My two uncles and I are in this area on business. I just broke through to level ten in soul power, so we're here to get a soul ring. Why don't we go together?"
Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Gu Rong was about to raise his hand to stop him, but Chen Xin pulled him back and shook his head.
"You? You can't even beat me, right? What's the use?" Bibi Dong looked at Ning Fengzhi and said with a look of disdain.
"I'm a support-type Soul Master, so I'm not good at fighting. But I have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the number one support-type Martial Soul on the continent. My support abilities are very strong, okay?!" Ning Fengzhi retorted upon hearing Bibi Dong's words.
Upon hearing this, Murong Huai pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Sure, no problem."
To be honest, Ning Fengzhi's talent is indeed the best in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He later reached level 79 and became the number one support-type Soul Master on the continent. If it weren't for his flawed Martial Soul, his achievements would be even greater.
"Really? See you tomorrow morning!"
After speaking, Ning Fengzhi returned to his seat at the next table. Murong Fuhai did not object to any of this; on the contrary, he quite encouraged it. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the number one support-type martial soul on the continent, and it was best to befriend it rather than oppose it.
...,
The next day, early morning.
After Murong Huai and his two companions got up and washed, they went downstairs and found Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin Gu Rong already waiting for them. Upon seeing the three of them arrive, Chen Xin Gu Rong first bowed to Murong Fu Hai, who nodded slightly.
Then Ning Fengzhi stepped forward, approached Murong Huai and Bibi Dong, and said with a smile:
"Murong Huai, Bibi Dong, you've arrived! Let's set off!"
"Alright, let's go!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong consciously led the way, while Murong Huai and the other two walked in the middle, and Murong Fu Hai calmly followed at the back.
"By the way, have you decided what kind of spirit beast you need? I have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit, so for my first spirit ring, I only need to find a strength-type or speed-type spirit beast of suitable age," Ning Fengzhi asked.
Upon hearing this, Murong Huai nodded, while Bibi Dong shook her head and blinked.
"I don't know."
Murong Huai analyzed, "Dong'er, your martial soul is the Death Spider Emperor, which has powerful poison attributes and considerable attack power. For your first soul ring, you can look for a soul beast with poison attributes, such as the Human-Faced Demon Spider, the Cave Demon Spider, the Death Spider, etc., which would all be good."
"Brother Murong, you know so much! What kind of soul beast are you planning to hunt?" Bibi Dong's eyes lit up.
Murong Huai had already made preparations, so he said:
"High-quality soul beasts with strong attack power, such as the Sky-Splitting Golden Eagle and the Armor-Piercing Mountain-Drilling Blow. Of course, my ideal is the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, but it is very difficult to find."
Listening to Murong Huai's analysis, Murong Fuhai behind him nodded in satisfaction. His first soul ring target for Murong Huai was the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear—yes, just this one.
If he can't find it, he'll keep searching. He refuses to believe that he can't find a hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear after searching for days in this vast Star Dou Forest. He'll just make a trip to the core area if necessary.
His son's spirit rings had to be the best. That's why you have to come to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain your first spirit ring.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who were leading the way, were also somewhat surprised when they heard Murong Huai's analysis. At only six years old, he was able to plan his own soul rings. That was remarkable. Their first soul rings were recommended by their elders. That was the difference.
...,
After walking for a while, the group encountered many spirit beasts, but suitable ones were few and far between. While passing through a forest, they happened upon a spider-like spirit beast hunting its prey—the previously mentioned Human-Faced Demon Spider, approximately four hundred years old, perfectly suited for Bibi Dong.
Seeing this, Gu Rong stretched out her hand, and bone spikes shot out from the ground, severely injuring the human-faced demon spider. She then controlled it to land in front of Bibi Dong.
"Dong'er, this human-faced demon spider is perfect for you. Quickly kill it."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong nodded, her purple soul power surging around her. The Death Spider King, its body entirely purple-black, appeared behind her, letting out a roar.
Upon seeing the terrifying Death Spider King, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but shudder.
"Goodness, what a terrifying martial spirit!"
Bibi Dong controlled the Death Spider King, its sharp spider legs lashing down and instantly taking the life of the Human-Faced Demon Spider. A soul ring emitting a yellow light condensed above the corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Bibi Dong sat cross-legged on the ground, guiding the soul ring of the Human-Faced Demon Spider to begin absorbing it. Bibi Dong possessed the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul, whose quality was inherently superior to that of ordinary Human-Faced Demon Spiders, so absorbing it was not difficult.
About half an hour later, Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes, a purple light flashing in them. The Death Spider King appeared behind her, its aura much stronger, and a yellow soul ring descended, encircling her.
Feeling her own power, Bibi Dong happily ran to Murong Huai's side.
"Brother Murong, I've become a Soul Master!"
Murong Huai rubbed Bibi Dong's head.
"Dong'er, how was it? What kind of soul skill did you acquire?"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong said:
"My first soul skill is called Spider Frenzy, which can increase my speed and attack by 30%, as well as my poison attribute by 40%, for half an hour."
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, everyone nodded. For a first spirit ring, it was already a very good spirit skill.
"Your soul skill is pretty good, Dong'er. Congratulations!"
Bibi Dong smiled, and then the group continued to walk around, searching for suitable soul beasts.
...,
About an hour later, they encountered a golden-haired Titan that was nearly three hundred years old by the side of a mountain. It was a power-type soul beast and would be very suitable for Ning Fengzhi.
Chen Xin raised his hand and unleashed several sword strikes, instantly bringing the century-old golden-haired titan to the brink of death.
"Fengzhi, let's get started. This golden-haired Titan is perfect for you."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi stepped forward, took out an iron dagger from his soul tool, and killed the man. A yellow soul ring appeared above the golden-haired titan.
Ning Fengzhi sat cross-legged on the ground, guiding the spirit ring to begin absorbing it. As a support-type spirit master, Ning Fengzhi did not have the physique of a beast spirit master, so his first spirit ring, which was about three hundred years old, was roughly his limit.
After about half an hour, Ning Fengzhi successfully absorbed the power. He stretched out his right hand, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in his palm, surrounded by a yellow spirit ring. Ning Fengzhi had advanced to become a one-ring spirit master. He waved it down at Bibi Dong.
"I've become a Soul Master too!"
Bibi Dong curled her lip, "Tch, he still can't beat me!!"
Ning Fengzhi: Can't we just have some fun anymore?
Next up was Murong Huai's soul ring. Murong Fuhai also spread his spiritual power outwards to explore, his target was clear: the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
