Although the Soul Hunting Forest in the north of Notting City is not as good as the Sunset Forest and the Star Forest, it still has many types of low-level soul beasts.

Ye Liangchen felt that the age of the soul beasts in this forest should not exceed 3,000 years. After all, these were only soul beasts kept in captivity by the empire.

In addition to the soldiers guarding the entrance of the Soul Hunting Forest, there is also a Spirit Hall Law Enforcement Group that patrols the forest regularly to prevent poaching.

In fact, the law enforcement team is mainly responsible for preventing those soul hunting teams from illegal poaching. After all, in addition to soul rings and soul bones, the meat, skin, and teeth of soul beasts are all very valuable, and there are many free soul masters who would take risks.

“Ouch…”

"rustle…"

Deep in the forest, many soul beasts that were ten or a hundred years old were walking in the forest. When they saw Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhuqing breaking in, they all became alert.

“Meow…”

Zhu Zhuqing immediately summoned her martial soul and transformed herself into a fierce-looking cat-eared girl, ready to respond to any attack from the soul beast at any time.

Ye Liangchen also took out a long sword from his soul guide to guard against these soul beasts.

“Ouch…”

Suddenly, two Nether Wolves, about three hundred years old, rushed out of the woods and pounced on the two men, growling.

These two Nether Wolves were about 1.5 meters long, as big as calves, with a yellow glow on their bodies, which was the mark of a hundred-year-old soul beast.

"Chen, be careful."

"Netherworld Thrust"

Zhu Zhuqing immediately activated her first soul skill, transforming into an agile Netherworld cat. Her fingers turned into sharp claws and she quickly grabbed the two Netherworld Wolves.

"roar…"

Ye Liangchen punched out with a tiger-shaped fist, and his soul power turned into a huge tiger claw, repelling the two Nether Wolves.

“Ouch…”

After being repelled, the two Nether Wolves stood in the distance, staring at the two men with bared teeth, ready to launch a second wave of attacks at any time.

"Zhu Qing, I will assist you. You can practice with these two hundred-year-old Nether Wolves, but don't kill them. Just fight them off. If you kill them, the smell of blood might attract other powerful soul beasts."

“Swish…”

Ye Liangchen quickly summoned the goddess's martial spirit, activated his second soul skill, and blessed Zhu Zhuqing.

"Blessing of life."

A green light shot out from Ye Liangchen's hand and poured into Zhu Zhuqing's body, instantly doubling her combat power.

"Brother Chen, your auxiliary soul skill is so powerful. It feels like my overall strength has increased several times."

Zhu Zhuqing never thought that Ye Liangchen actually had such powerful auxiliary skills. It was such a surprise.

“Go ahead and give it a try!”

Ye Liangchen retracted his martial soul and spread out his spiritual sense, guarding the area within a hundred meters. The riot of two hundred-year-old Nether Wolves also scared away other soul beasts less than a hundred years old.

"Okay, Brother Chen."

“Swish…”

Zhu Zhuqing rushed over quickly, only to see a shadow flash by, and instantly rushed in front of the two hundred-year-old Nether Wolves, starting the bullying mode.

"ha…"

“Ouch…”

The increase in strength also made Zhu Zhuqing bolder. The two hundred-year-old Nether Wolves were beaten back by her powerful force.

“Awoo…Awoo…”

Three minutes later, the two hundred-year-old Nether Wolves scurried away with their tails between their legs.

The Nether Wolf originally wanted to have a good meal today, but unexpectedly ran into a tigress. She was beaten so badly that she suspected she had given birth.

"Brother Chen, what kind of martial soul is that beautiful goddess of yours? I remember when you saved me, it seemed to have an entanglement function. How come it has an auxiliary skill now?"

Zhu Zhuqing ran to Ye Liangchen and asked curiously. At this moment, she still maintained strong strength and felt that she could fight against the Soul Sect.

"My goddess martial spirit has two abilities: attack and support. The support spirit skill I just added to you is called Life Blessing, which can increase all your attributes by 30% within 10 minutes."

"All attributes increased by 30%? No wonder I feel my strength has increased several times. Brother Chen, your martial spirit actually has both attack and support capabilities. It's amazing."

"It's just a drizzle. Let's go! Let's continue to look for soul beasts."

"Oh well."

The two chatted as they headed deeper into the forest. Ye Liangchen planned to find a two thousand year old Lightning Shadow Leopard for the little cat. After all, with the help of his cheats, this girl's physical strength had been greatly improved. With her current strength, it would not be a problem for her to absorb a two thousand year old soul ring.

Millennium soul beasts are rare animals in the Soul Hunting Forest. The two searched for a whole day but still couldn't find a suitable one.

"Zhu Qing, let's stay here tonight and look for a place tomorrow. If we still can't find a suitable one, we can go directly to Xingdou Forest."

"Brother Chen, I will follow your arrangements."

In the evening, the two found a small cave of about three square meters and planned to spend the night there.

"Brother Chen, this cave is not very big. Let's cut some tree trunks and make a simple door to block the entrance of the cave. It will be safer."

"Okay, no problem."

They started working right away, with men and women working together, and the work was not tiring. They simply used knives to cut some tree trunks as thick as bowls into pieces, and then found some ropes, tied the tree trunks together, and made a simple guardrail to block the entrance of the cave.

To make it safer, Ye Liangchen also moved some large stones and built a wall outside the cave entrance.

Zhu Zhuqing sprinkled a layer of medicine powder outside the cave entrance to prevent snakes and insects from approaching, and also placed many leaves outside the cave entrance to cover the entire cave entrance.

"Zhu Qing, I didn't expect you have so much experience in surviving in the wild!" Ye Liangchen was also surprised when he saw the kitten's skillful methods.

"Brother Chen, I have been to the forest with my aunt before. I learned all this from her. As a soul master, I must learn to survive in the wild. At home, I was often suppressed by my sister and could not practice well, so I had to run to the mountains to hide and practice..."

Zhu Zhuqing also told Ye Liangchen some interesting stories about her survival in the wild, and that people are forced to do things.

"Eat some dry food first. Our conditions are limited and we can't cook tonight. We can only make do with some dry food."

Ye Liangchen built a fire, then took out a pot of water and some dry food from his soul guide as dinner.

"Don't worry! Brother Chen, I've long been accustomed to this kind of life."

Zhu Zhuqing felt that being with the person she loved, even if it was just drinking water, was extremely sweet.

“Ouch…”

“Squeak…”

In the dead of night, the cries of various soul beasts could be heard from the distance in the forest, making people's scalps numb.

Ye Liangchen could even feel that there were soul beasts passing by dozens of meters away from the cave entrance. Fortunately, the two of them had blocked the cave entrance before, otherwise they might have been discovered by those soul beasts.

"Brother Chen, go to sleep. I'll keep watch for you."

"Let's go together. The cave entrance is protected by a wooden door and a stone wall. It should be safe. We need to get enough rest and look for soul beasts again tomorrow."

"Okay, Brother Chen."

The two of them took out their sleeping bags, spread out their quilts, crawled in and started to sleep.

Just when Ye Liangchen was sleeping soundly, a figure came in and woke him up immediately.

"Kitten! How did you get here?"

Looking at the kitten sitting next to him, Ye Liangchen was speechless. If this continued, something would go wrong sooner or later.

"Brother Chen, I can't sleep alone, can you chat with me?"

The kitten found a lame excuse and lay down next to Ye Liangchen.

"Okay! It's up to you, but you can't take advantage of me!" Ye Liangchen waved his hand indifferently.

"Puchi...! Brother Chen, shouldn't this be what we women say?" Zhu Zhuqing was simply amused by this guy.

"Auntie Lan and the others once told me that boys should remember to protect themselves when they are outside, especially when they encounter female hooligans."

"Brother Chen, do you think I'm a female hooligan?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Liangchen as if she was going to eat him, so she curled her lips, grabbed his hand and pulled him to her side.

"Kitten! You have no moral principles and are attacking by surprise."

Ye Liangchen felt that the kitten had become crooked, and the quiet kitten it once was was gone.

"Brother Chen, stop talking and go to sleep!"

"Didn't you say you wanted to chat?"

"I don't want to talk now, go to sleep."

Zhu Zhuqing hugged Ye Liangchen's arm tightly, feeling a sense of security. A smile appeared on her face, and then she gradually fell asleep.

Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, they were awakened by a faint sound.

“Ouch…”

“Bang, bang…”

The sound continued to come from a distance, mixed with the sound of fighting.

"Brother Chen, it seems like there are soul beasts fighting."

"Let's go and have a look. Maybe there is a soul beast that suits you."

The two men stood up, walked out of the cave, found a stream, washed up simply, and then sneaked quietly in the direction of the soul beast fight.

“Ouch…”

“Roar…”

When the two came to a valley a thousand meters away, they found a ghost leopard and a wild boar fighting each other. Both soul beasts were a thousand years old, with the ghost leopard being 2,000 years old and the wild boar being 2,500 years old.

"Zhu Qing, if you can't find the Lightning Shadow Leopard, just kill the Ghost Leopard and make it your third spirit ring."

Ye Liangchen decided to let the kitten absorb the soul ring of the 2,000-year-old ghost leopard. After all, her martial soul was the Netherworld Spirit Cat, which had similar attributes to the ghost leopard.

"Brother Chen, you decide! I'll follow your arrangements."

The ghost leopard is a top-level animal soul ring that possesses powerful strength and speed. Zhu Zhuqing also feels that this soul beast may bring different changes to herself.

"Zhu Qing, let me tell you, I heard that there is a Titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall, named Ghost Leopard Douluo, and his spirit is the Ghost Leopard, which is considered top-notch among beast spirits."

"Ghost Leopard Douluo? So powerful!"

When Zhu Zhuqing heard that there was such a strong person in the Spirit Hall, she thought that the Ghost Leopard Spirit was much more powerful than the Netherworld Cat Spirit.

"This ghost leopard is 2,000 years old. Zhuqing, the elixir I gave you before has already built up a strong physique for you. Now you want to challenge your limits. Do you have the confidence?"

Ye Liangchen directly told the girl the age of the ghost leopard so that she could be mentally prepared.

"Brother Chen, since I met you, my strength has improved a lot. My strength is at least twice as strong as before. I have confidence."

Zhu Zhuqing learned about Ye Liangchen's incredible spirit ring configuration and also wanted to challenge her own limits.

"Then we will wait for the right opportunity before taking action."

The two hid in a big tree and watched the two soul beasts fighting quietly.

“Roar…”

“Bang, bang…”

The battle scene between the two thousand year old soul beasts was extremely destructive. Within a hundred meters radius, dust and rubble were flying everywhere, and many trees were also broken.

An hour later, the wild boar was finally defeated, with its stomach ripped open by the ghost leopard, and it was dying. But the ghost leopard was also not feeling well, with one of its hind legs pierced by the wild boar's fangs, and one of its front legs bitten off. After the battle, both sides were injured.

"Zhu Qing, do it."

"clear."

The two of them immediately summoned their martial spirits and rushed towards the two soul beasts.

"Blessing of life."

Ye Liangchen directly used his second soul skill to assist Zhu Zhuqing, instantly increasing her overall strength by 30%, allowing her to fight to her heart's content.

“Roar…”

Although the ghost leopard had two legs broken, it was still very powerful. Seeing two humans coming to kill it, how could it be willing to die? So it opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, ready to counterattack at any time.

“Shua…”

"Zhu Qing, torture the ghost leopard. Don't kill it right away. Torture it as much as you can until it doubts the leopard's existence, then put an end to it."

After Ye Liangchen killed the wild boar with one sword, he remembered that when a soul beast was extremely resentful, there was a high probability that it would produce external soul bones, so he asked Zhu Zhuqing to give it a try.

"Brother Chen, don't worry!"

Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't know why she had to do this, she just did whatever Ye Liangchen said.

“Meow…”

“Roar…”

Zhu Zhuqing now has the assistance of Ye Liangchen and is very powerful. In addition, the ghost leopard has lost both legs and has little strength left, so it was suppressed by Zhu Zhuqing throughout the whole process.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

“Ahhh…”

Twenty minutes later, the ghost leopard was beaten all over. Zhu Zhuqing launched the final blow and ended the ghost leopard's life with one knife.

"Replenish your soul power, adjust your condition to the best, and prepare to absorb this soul ring."

Ye Liangchen took out two soul power pills and put them into Zhu Zhuqing's mouth to keep her in the best condition.

“Buzz…”

As soon as the ghost leopard died, the purple soul energy gradually condensed into a large purple circle.

"Brother Chen, I'm going to start."

Zhu Zhuqing sat cross-legged on the ground, summoned his martial soul, and began to absorb this two thousand year limited soul ring.

“Ahhh…”

The moment the purple soul ring was put on Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul, a powerful force rushed into her body, making her unable to help but scream.

“Buzz…”

"Zhu Qing, I'll assist you. Immediately mobilize the energy in your spirit ring and integrate it into your body."

Ye Liangchen used his life to bless his soul skills and bestowed them on Zhu Zhuqing.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, I can handle it."

After getting assistance, Zhu Zhuqing quickly used her powerful strength to suppress the energy in her soul and began to absorb the soul ring with all her strength.

An hour later, a tiny drop of blood appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's body. Ye Liangchen used his spiritual sense to sense the situation inside her body and found that there was no serious problem.

Zhu Zhuqing kept telling herself in her heart that if she wanted to break her fate, she had to become stronger.

Human potential is infinite. If you don’t push yourself, you won’t know how much potential you have.

Zhu Zhuqing kept pushing herself, and after three hours, she finally succeeded in absorbing it. A powerful aura burst out from her body, and she successfully advanced to Soul Master, and her soul power reached level 32.

"Brother Chen, I succeeded."

Zhu Zhuqing jumped up from the ground, threw herself into Ye Liangchen's arms, and cheered excitedly.

"Kitten! Not bad."

Ye Liangchen knew that the little cat would succeed, so he had given this girl some cheats before, letting her take Foundation Establishment Pills and Body Tempering Pills, and also taught her the full set of Five Elements Divine Fist, which made her body very strong. A mere two thousand year spirit ring was nothing at all.
