Douluo Continent: What do you mean this is the Holy Spirit Cult?

The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament was still very attractive to Qi Li.

However, he wasn't like those people on the entire Douluo Continent who lacked entertainment and wanted to be a bloodthirsty spectator.

He was purely tempted by the rewards of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is held every five years, and the rewards for the champion team each time are irresistible.

Because the prize for the champion of every continent-wide advanced soul master academy competition is a soul bone!

For someone who has ever obtained a soul bone and has the chance to gain a powerful skill from it, nothing is more attractive to him than a powerful soul bone.

Moreover, even if he obtains a soul bone whose attributes don't match his expectations and isn't as powerful as he imagined, he can still exchange it with other soul masters who possess soul bones.

Even if all else fails, he can still devour this soul bone to strengthen his martial soul origin.

It's a pity that he doesn't have much of a chance to participate in this continent-wide advanced soul master academy battle tournament.

If he were still at the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Master Academy, then there would naturally be no problem.

After all, the Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire also has a reserve team system.

Qi Li believed that even if he couldn't become the strongest among the regular team members, he would definitely be able to maintain a firm advantage in the reserve team.

He could easily defeat either Meng Hongchen or Xiao Hongchen by relying on a portion of the power of his martial spirit.

He even felt that he could defeat Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen together without using his most powerful soul fusion technique to date, the Fear Dragon Knight.

Even the fusion skill of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's martial souls.

However, it seems that even if he had returned in time, the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Master Academy would have had no chance of registering for its reserve team.

Based on the current situation, the regular and reserve members of the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Master Academy are almost at Star Luo City.

The most important thing is to find a way to complete the Soul Hunting task as soon as possible.

As for the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, we'll figure out a solution then.

With these thoughts in mind, Qi Li replenished his supplies on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest before trekking into the forest.

It wasn't that he didn't want to fly in the sky and maintain his visual advantage, but rather that flying in human form above the Star Dou Great Forest would invite attacks from other soul beasts.

After all, for soul beasts, human soul masters are the food they dream of the most.

Even compared to other soul beasts, soul masters are more attractive to them.

To avoid turning into birds and a series of flying creatures covered in dung before even dying at Yan Feng's hands, Qi Li gave up and flew directly into the Star Dou Great Forest. However, even walking through the Star Dou Forest did not hinder his speed from increasing rapidly.

His physical abilities are no joke; they surpass those of ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, making him the most valuable shield in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Even when Qi Li occasionally encounters some highly aggressive soul beasts, he can use his physical abilities to teach these arrogant and territorial soul beasts a lesson.

Furthermore, Qi Li would observe the attack methods of these soul beasts and then deal with them in two completely different ways: knocking them unconscious, killing them, and extracting their souls.

However, the former is more common in general, while the latter is very rare.

Even in the Star Dou Great Forest, there aren't as many powerful soul beasts as one might imagine, especially in the outer areas.

Most of the creatures living here are hundred-year-old or thousand-year-old soul beasts; Qi Li doesn't even look down on these weak soul beasts.

Only the soul beasts he encounters after reaching the mixed zone are worth turning into beast souls within his soul prison.

For example, there's the ancient Netherworld Lion blocking his way right now.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of lion-type spirit beasts are social creatures, just like ordinary lions in nature. This is because only by living in groups can they ensure the normal reproduction of their groups and occupy an advantageous position in a normal ecological environment.

However, this is not always the case.

Some extremely powerful lion-type spirit beasts do not abide by this rule; they are like tiger-type spirit beasts, complete loners.

Among these extremely powerful beings are the Crimson Gold Lion, the Purple Shadow Lion, and now the Netherworld Mad Lion blocking Qi Li's way.

The Crimson Lion is a branch of the Golden Bloodline, possessing extremely powerful physical attributes and combat abilities.

The Purple Shadow Master possesses a deadly poison that is often difficult for spirit beasts to resist, and also has a bizarre speed that even top spirit beasts like lions, tigers, bears, and leopards, whose prey cannot fathom or see clearly.

As for the Netherworld Lion...

Like other Netherworld-attribute soul beasts, this kind of soul beast excels in melee combat and can rely on the physical immunity and powerful physique brought by the Netherworld attribute to fight against enemies.

And its character is worthy of its name.

Upon smelling Qi Li's scent, before Qi Li had even made a move, it immediately unleashed a lion's roar at all the surrounding ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts to intimidate them and prevent them from approaching.

It wanted to hunt down Qi Li alone and possess him for itself.

The aura emanating from it at this moment proves why it has such confidence.

At this moment, the powerful aura emanating from him would make even ordinary Soul Emperors retreat, because his age had reached more than 20,000 years, making him a local overlord in the current Star Dou Great Forest mixed zone.

If this Netherworld Lion hadn't always lived as a lone wolf in the Great Forest, it wouldn't have been incapable of conquering territory even in the core area.

Its fur shimmered with streaks of black light, just like an extremely smooth piece of black silk.

The Netherworld Lion's massive size already exceeded five meters, but facing such a beautiful and powerful lion, its equally impressive speed made it difficult to detect the lion's next move.

Even Qi Li couldn't help but be moved when he faced this Netherworld Lion.

In his view, if he could obtain the soul of this 20,000-year-old Netherworld Lion, then it would definitely be a successful operation.

The next second, three spirit rings—one yellow, one purple, and one black—appeared on his body.

Bone Dragon Martial Soul Possession!
