Chapter 58: Sacred Fire Mane Lion, Encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest... Qian Renxue?
"Um... I... didn't sit steady..." Ye Lingling's pretty face was flushed, and she looked extremely cute.
Regarding the person who had suddenly intruded into her World years ago, Ye Lingling knew that from that day on, Chu Chen had always existed in her heart.
Her heart was very small, once so small that it could only hold herself.
Now, Chu Chen had opened a crack in her heart and occupied it; she felt that was enough.
A heart does not have much space, but since she had found it, she was very lucky.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Chu Chen's gaze became fiery, and he pulled Ye Lingling into his embrace; his slightly inexperienced actions actually left them both in a panic.
Then the two looked at each other and smiled, wondering if they had been amused by their own foolishness.
"Chu Chen, my Soul Power has increased to level 40, and I feel that it will increase further after obtaining my fourth Soul Ring." Ye Lingling was overjoyed; such a huge improvement would usually take her a very long time to make up, but now, an Immortal Herb actually possessed such efficacy!
Moreover, it was not just an increase in Soul Power.
Her physical fitness and even her Martial Soul seemed to have changed; of course, the specific effects would only truly be revealed after obtaining the fourth Soul Ring.
"I'll take you to get your Soul Ring in two days." Chu Chen said.
The effect of the Immortal Herb was significant; he had to seize this opportunity to reach the Soul Sect realm as soon as possible.
"Okay." Ye Lingling smiled sweetly.
...
"Lingling, you've also broken through to level 40? That's great, now we can go get our Soul Rings together."
The next day, Dugu Yan also broke through to level 40.
Since Chu Chen had previously helped her control the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison, her Soul Power had broken through to level 39, and after this period of time, she had finally broken through to level 40.
"Yo, the little girl from the Ye family has also broken through. Perfect, let's set off together." Dugu Bo walked over and suggested to Chu Chen and Ye Lingling.
Chu Chen and Ye Lingling readily accepted.
With Dugu Bo holding the fort, there would be some guarantee if they encountered any crises, so after renting two carriages from Heaven Dou City, the group headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
A day later, the four of them entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Tell me, Chu Chen, are you not afraid of that Tang Hao..." Dugu Bo asked secretly, clearly still very concerned about Tang Hao as a potential threat.
"Rest assured, that Senior who secretly helped me last time severely injured Tang Hao. Such terrifying injuries could not possibly be healed in a short time." Chu Chen signaled for Dugu Bo to rest easy.
During that battle, he had been the closest and had seen it the most clearly!
That final strike had come from the shattered Void Realm; had Tang Hao not been under the absolute amplification of his Ring Explosion, that strike would have been enough to take his life.
But even so, Tang Hao was still critically injured!
Such injuries would likely take a very, very long time to recover from.
"It seems you brat have attracted the attention of others; otherwise, why would a mysterious expert help you." Dugu Bo teased.
Chu Chen was silent; he did not know when he had come into contact with another expert, so he could only find an opportunity to learn the truth.
Taking advantage of the time spent searching for Soul Beasts, the group also began to converse.
"No matter what kind of Soul Ring Nine-Heart Begonia absorbs, it will always result in healing Martial Soul abilities. This is a Martial Soul characteristic that cannot be changed, but when choosing Soul Rings, we still choose to absorb some healing-type Soul Beasts." Ye Lingling explained: "After all, Soul Beasts with healing abilities will definitely produce Soul Rings with healing abilities."
"Therefore, there is a certain probability of greatly increasing the healing ability of the Nine-Heart Begonia. If it is really just to obtain a Soul Ring, then as long as the age is suitable..."
Chu Chen thought of something, and he suggested: "In that case, if the Nine-Heart Begonia were to absorb some plant-type Soul Beasts with healing abilities, is there a chance for the Martial Soul to evolve?"
"For example, my Blue Silver Emperor evolved to a certain extent after absorbing the first four Soul Rings."
And as for the evolution of the Blue Silver Emperor, the gradually spreading golden natural patterns were proof!
"Hmm... it's very difficult, and I haven't heard of it." Ye Lingling shook her head, feeling very confused about this aspect.
"Martial Souls themselves possess infinite possibilities; who can predict everything?" Dugu Bo added appropriately.
The group went deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, and before long, they found a thousand-year Soul Beast suitable for Dugu Yan; it was also a snake type and possessed potent poison, making it perfect.
"Second Soul Skill, Life Deprivation." Chu Chen's Blue Silver Emperor attacked, continuously depriving it of life energy; the Soul Beast was left with low health, only able to wait to be killed by Dugu Yan.
During the gap while Dugu Yan was absorbing the Soul Ring, Chu Chen, relying on his natural connection to Blue Silver Grass, realized something was wrong.
"Wait..." He stood up and unleashed the Blue Silver Domain.
Clearly, something was approaching rapidly, and it was obviously coming in their direction. That Soul Beast was very strong; it must be a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast, and the age was not low.
"Old Poison, there's something." Chu Chen said with a grave voice.
Dugu Bo also frowned, terrifying Soul Power condensing in his hands, ready to strike at any moment.
At this critical moment of Dugu Yan absorbing the Soul Ring, absolutely no mistakes could occur, so even if it were a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, he, Dugu Bo, would have to block it!
"Stand behind me." Chu Chen said to Ye Lingling.
"Okay." Ye Lingling nodded, but her gaze was firm; if a battle really broke out, she would also do her part.
"Boom!" The ground trembled violently. The next moment, the mountain in front shattered, and a Mane Lion radiating crimson-gold light appeared. It had wounds on its body, but its aura was as powerful as if it could shatter mountains.
"This is a Sacred Fire Mane Lion; this one's cultivation must be fifty thousand years." Chu Chen said in shock. This Sacred Fire Mane Lion possessed both sacred and fire attributes, and its own blood qi was vigorous; it was incredibly powerful!
A Sacred Fire Mane Lion with fifty thousand years of cultivation was not to be underestimated.
"Damn it, to run into this kind of Soul Beast. Although I am not afraid of it, if it disturbs Yaner..." Dugu Bo cursed inwardly. There was clearly no other way at this moment.
Chu Chen released his Blue Silver Emperor, which broke through the ground and wove together in the air, Binding the Sacred Fire Mane Lion, while simultaneously releasing his fourth Soul Skill.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Life Enhancement!" The Blue Silver Emperor, having turned black, fully unleashed its potential; in its tough state, the Blue Silver Emperor directly controlled the Sacred Fire Mane Lion.
"Boom!" A golden sword light slashed down, and a stunning figure descended from the sky; behind her, two other figures were following.
The woman suddenly saw Chu Chen, and her expression immediately became strange.
"..." After seeing the woman, Chu Chen's expression also became strange; wasn't this Qian Renxue?
Holding a golden sacred sword, with angel wings on her back, and such an ethereal temperament, even though he had never seen Qian Renxue's true form, he recognized her at a glance.
