Douluo: I, the Sun God

Chapter 9 Sun Flower Sea
But this method is less reliable than looking at the characteristics of soul beasts, because there are too many soul beasts that can change the color of their own soul power.

At this time, Ning Haiyan also gave his own answer.

"The best way is to wait until your cultivation is strong enough and then judge based on the soul beast's soul power. However, this is not absolute. Ultimately, you still need to judge based on your own experience, and this requires time to accumulate."

"I understand!"

Xu Yang also understood. To put it bluntly, for soul beasts, the only way to grow is to learn and accumulate experience.

However, Xu Yang did not leave immediately. Instead, he compared the characteristics of the wind baboon with those described in the book one by one. This was the best time to learn and accumulate experience, and he did not want to miss it.

Ning Haiyan was waiting on the side, watching silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Alright! Uncle Ning, let's go!"

After a while, Xu Yang stood up and said to Ning Haiyan with a smile that he had not forgotten the main purpose of his trip this time, and studying soul beasts was just a side job.

The two walked forward. The trees became taller and taller as they went forward, and they were all extremely dense, completely different from the surrounding forests.

Xu Yang, who had studied sunflowers, knew that this was a characteristic of the area where the sunflower soul beasts lived. Because sunflowers could attract and concentrate sunlight, the flowers, plants, and trees around the sunflower soul beasts were extremely lush and grew at an astonishing rate, even allowing these ordinary plants to become soul beasts.

After passing through this forest, what comes into view is a sea of ​​flowers, a sea of ​​sunflowers, covering an area as large as a basketball court. Sunflowers of various ages sway their petals, attracting and gathering the power of the sun. They not only absorb it themselves, but also pass on what they cannot absorb to other plants.

The temperature here is obviously much higher than other places in the forest. The strong power of the sun causes the air around to begin to distort, and there is a feeling of dryness and a burnt smell.

"Wow, so many sunflowers, and such an environment..."

Being in such an environment, Xu Yang felt that the sun martial soul in his body became restless, and the soul power in his body began to circulate. He felt that in such an environment, one day of practice was equivalent to more than ten days of practice in other places.

This is the most suitable mimic environment for him to practice.

"This is the sea of ​​sunflowers in Sunset Forest. There are sunflowers ranging from ten to ten thousand years old here. And if you want to find the golden-edged sunflower that suits you, it's hard to find anywhere else except here."

Ning Haiyan looked at Xu Yang, who was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He introduced this area with a smile.

"But Uncle Ning, there are so many sunflowers here, even you can't be safe and sound!" Xu Yang was a little worried.

Although he knew that golden-edged sunflowers were very rare, with only one found among tens of thousands of flowers, it was too dangerous in this environment.

Don't underestimate this football field-sized sea of ​​sunflowers. There are tens of thousands of sunflowers living here. Although their cultivation levels are generally not high, only a hundred or a thousand years old, when so many sunflowers gather together, the soul power that can be unleashed is beyond the ability of even a Soul Saint to withstand.

Weak soul beasts instinctively huddle together for warmth. Thousands of low-level soul beasts gather together, and this is where they rely on for safety in the forest. "Don't worry about that. Plant-type soul beasts differ greatly from animal-type soul beasts. Before becoming ten thousand year soul beasts, they lack much intelligence, relying only on instinct. They often rely on the ten thousand year soul beast, the Sunflower King, to coordinate their attacks."

Two years ago, I brought my sect disciples here to hunt sunflowers. I know that the Sunflower King here has just reached the ten thousand year mark, its wisdom is just beginning, and its will is relatively weak. As long as I unleash the full might of a Soul Saint, it will immediately choose to retreat rather than fight. Then I will help you get a sunflower of the right age, and you can kill it and absorb its spirit ring!

As he spoke, Ning Haiyan looked confidently at the huge sunflower in the center of the sea of ​​flowers, his eyes full of teasing.

Following Ning Haiyan's gaze, Xu Yang also looked over there. In the sea of ​​flowers, he saw a giant sunflower that was over five meters long, had twenty-one petals, and was inlaid with gold edges, just like a sunflower.

"The flower has twenty-one petals and is over five meters long. It is indeed the Sunflower King that has just passed the ten-thousand-year mark!" After observing it for a while, Xu Yang confirmed the age of the Sunflower King. Knowing that Ning Haiyan's words were true, he laughed and said, "Then all we have to do next is find the right golden-edged sunflower!"

"That's right!" Ning Haiyan nodded with a smile.

Soul beasts like sunflowers generally won't attack unless you threaten their lives, so the two of them can look for them outside first, and then Ning Haiyan can take action to catch a sunflower of the right age after they find one.

The two of them walked around the periphery three times, but unfortunately they did not find any sunflowers with gold edges, but they did see quite a few with silver edges.

"If there are no flowers outside, then only the inside will be left!"

With a guess in mind, the two turned their attention to the side of the Sunflower King. Sure enough, there were many golden-edged sunflowers around the Sunflower King, ranging from a thousand to a hundred years old, and there were quite a few of them.

In order to see more clearly, Xu Yang climbed directly onto a big tree about ten meters high and started to watch. Soon he saw a very suitable one, but he was not sure, so he shouted loudly to Ning Haiyan below.

"Uncle Ning, the seventh plant to the left of the Flower King is about one meter tall, with seven petals, a characteristic of the seven-hundred-year-old golden-edged sunflower. But it's too far away, so I can't be completely sure!"

When Ning Haiyan heard this, he activated his soul power and flew into the air, landing next to Xu Yang. He followed the direction of his finger and began to observe from a distance.

His cultivation had reached the Soul Saint level, and his body had long since transformed. He was no longer like an ordinary person, and his five senses were extremely sharp, comparable to a 98K with a four-fold scope. He was not comparable to a soul master like Xu Yang who had just awakened his martial soul.

"Yes, it is indeed a golden-edged sunflower that is over 700 years old!"

"Master, you have excellent observation skills! You can accurately tell the age of a soul beast on your first soul hunt!"

Ning Haiyan only took one look and realized that the age of this sunflower met Xu Yang's previous requirements. He then looked at Xu Yang with appreciation, and then turned into an arrow and rushed towards the golden-edged sunflower.

While he was still in the air, a big knife burning with red flames suddenly appeared in his hand. Seven soul rings of yellow, purple and black rose from under his feet and put on his body. Then a terrifying momentum erupted like a volcano.

The moment they sensed danger, the first one to close its buds was the sunflower king in the center, who fled underground. Soon after, the other sunflowers also chose to close their buds, but they did not have the sunflower king's ability to escape underground, so they could only hope to avoid danger in this way.
