Chapter 24: Hunting
🕑 Added 2025-02-28 04:03:12 +0000 UTCAfter resting, Xu Yuan went straight to a group of soul beasts.
Wind Wolf.
This is the most common type of social soul beast in the Spirit Ascension Platform. Each wind wolf has been cultivating for about thirty to forty years, but due to their large numbers, they often travel in groups. A wind wolf group in the double digits is a normal size.
Xu Yuan found such a wind wolf pack.
At first, Xu Shengqun thought Xu Yuan had accidentally run into this group of wind wolves, but as Xu Yuan rushed straight towards the wind wolves, Xu Shengqun’s heart was in his throat, and he knew that this was not an accidental encounter, but Xu Yuan had specifically come to him!
Xu Yuan held the Tianyuan Spear and rushed into the wind wolves.
The blood and blood of the battle made his blood boil, and the feeling was very fascinating.
During this year, Xu Yuan practiced spear skills under the guidance of Xu Shengqun, and mastered various spear techniques. With the Five Elements Spear Spirit and Tianyuan Spear, he could also throw the spear during battle to shoot from a distance.
In this battle, every possible means were used.
Just ten minutes.
A total of seventeen wind wolves were killed by Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan had three wounds on his body caused by the wind wolf’s wind blade and sharp claws.
The two forces of water and wood flowed through the wounds, nourishing the surrounding cells and quickly healing his three wounds.
This group of wind wolves provided Xu Yuan with about fifty years of cultivation.
Although Xu Yuan was using water and wood elements to heal his wounds, he did not stop but continued to look for prey with his spear.
Outside, Xu Shengqun’s heart was in his throat.
The battle Xu Yuan had just fought was extremely fierce. Although there was a huge gap between Feng Lang and him in individual strength and they were no longer on the same level, a sweep of Xu Yuan’s spear was enough to severely injure Feng Lang. A stab with the spear combined with the strangulation of the Five Elements Spear could basically save Feng Lang’s life. However, it was not easy to find an opportunity to fire a spear in a one-on-seven situation.
However, Xu Yuan managed to find all the opportunities he could in such a battle and killed all the wind wolves. He only had three non-fatal wounds on his body, which were not even considered serious injuries.
“Xiao Yuan seems to enjoy this kind of battle?” Xu Shengqun looked at the scene on the screen where the man continued to look for prey with a spear, and looked at the expression on Xu Yuan’s face with a complicated expression.
“Consumption and damage can be even less.”
Xu Yuan reflected on every detail of the previous battle, reviewed his own soul power consumption and the inevitable injuries at the time, simulated tactics with lower soul power consumption, and predicted in advance the situation that might lead to the inevitable exchange of injuries.
In the Spirit Ascension Platform, Xu Yuan began his hunting time.
On average, he would go through a battle in an hour, recovering himself while looking for his next prey.
Every major battle can bring him thirty to seventy years of spiritual power, with an average of about fifty years each time.
After ten hours, including the 130 years he gained from the initial encounter with the three-headed fire lion, he had added a total of about 600 years.
Six hundred years!
In just ten hours.
This is something many soul masters dare not think about.
After all, obtaining spiritual power on the Spirit Ascension Platform also requires hunting soul beasts. How can a normal soul master have the hunting efficiency of Xu Yuan? Even if they form a team, they still have to allocate the final kills, which will result in very little spiritual power on average for each soul master.
It Is estimated that only those big forces that specifically help their younger generations to increase their spirit rings can match Xu Yuan’s efficiency. That is, an invincible strong man in the Spirit Ascension Platform personally leads the younger generation of spirit masters to hunt spirit beasts everywhere, and leaves all the finishing blows to the younger generation.
The original age of Xu Yuan's Five Elements Spear Spirit was not high, not reaching the limit of the age of a normal soul master’s first soul ring, but only three hundred years.
Now, after such a huge improvement, it has reached nine hundred years.
He could feel the improvement of his Five Elements Spear Spirit, and it was a very clear feeling.
The spear spirit is improving, the spirit ring is improving, and the effect of the spirit skills is also increasing little by little.
It is not known whether it was the effect of fighting in actual combat or the effect of the improvement of soul skills, but Xu Yuan’s understanding of spearmanship also improved rapidly in the process.
“I don’t know if I can defeat a thousand-year-old soul beast in a one-on-one duel with my current situation.” Xu Yuan now only has a hundred years left to achieve his goal, so naturally he wants to solve the problem once and for all.
But after thinking about it, he gave up.
After all, it is just one link. His strength is greatly restricted, and the gap between him and the thousand-year soul beast is obvious.
The thousand-year soul beast is not the same as the three hundred-year flame lions. Although they provide the same spiritual power, the threats they pose are vastly different.
It was an all-round qualitative change, from attack to defense to speed. If Xu Yuan wanted to break the defense, he would first have to strike with his peak strength, and he might not be able to find the opponent’s fatal flaw.
This kind of battle is bound to be unwinnable.
The hundred-year soul beast is at the same level as Xu Yuan in terms of strength, but it has difficulty in fighting. However, the thousand-year soul beast is already two levels higher.
It’s not about the level of realm, but the division of strength.
Xu Yuan is only a one-ring soul master. If he is really compared with soul beasts, he will definitely not be able to reach the level of a hundred-year soul beast. It’s just that he has excellent talent, so he can exert the strength of a hundred-year soul beast.
“There is a buffer zone deep inside the primary soul-raising platform, and there are often guardians. The guardian deep inside the soul-raising platform of the Soul-Transmitting Tower in Donghai City is a dark-gold terror-claw bear. After killing it, it will drop a dark-gold terror-claw attached soul bone. I don’t know what kind of soul beast the guardian of Tianhai City is.”
Thinking of fighting a thousand-year-old soul beast alone, Xu Yuan also thought of the guardian.
Although he knew the difference in strength, he rationally did not think of looking for the other party to kill him right now, but he could not resist his curiosity.
Xu Yuan was quite envious.
If it is mainly aimed at Donghai City, if this guardian can also have an external soul bone, then its value will be enormous.
“You seductive little devil, I will find you and kill you sooner or later!”
In the last two hours, Xu Yuan still honestly looked for normal soul beasts to hunt, and increased the age of his soul ring to about 1,100 years.
After half a day of fighting, he was already quite exhausted and voluntarily withdrew from the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Looking at his nephew slowly sitting up in the instrument cabin, Xu Shengqun also had a complicated expression.
“Xiao Yuan, I didn’t expect you to complete the task in just one day.”
Xu Yuan wanted to speak, but the next moment, after a large amount of spiritual power was digested in his body, his body also changed. The five elements of the spear spirit in his body also entered a transformation stage, and he almost fainted.
Fortunately, Xu Yuan had strong mental strength and remained awake. He quickly sat cross-legged in meditation and cooperated with the evolution of the spear spirit.
Outside his body, the yellow soul ring was changing rapidly, the light yellow turned bright, and then a hint of purple appeared, quickly permeating the entire soul ring.
Millennium soul ring!
Xu Yuan’s soul evolved, and Xu Shengqun watched from the side, very curious about what changes would occur after Xu Yuan’s soul evolved.
After all, Xu Yuan’s soul is the spear soul, a weapon soul, and there has never been an example of a soul master absorbing it and then raising it to a thousand years old.
