The Golden Generation of Douluo Continent, starting with the inheritance of the Flame Emperor.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

At dawn, as the sun rose, the thin mist on the horizon had not yet completely dissipated.

After meditating all night, Yan got up early, washed up, and then met up with Xie Yue.

Xie Yue was visibly excited as he was about to acquire his first spirit ring.

After having breakfast together, the two were led by the Temple Guards to the huge square in front of the Papal Palace.

The Spirit Hall's exclusive carriage was already parked in front of the square.

The horses pulling the carriage looked exceptionally spirited.

Its fur was as smooth as satin without a single blemish, and it was tall and seemed to have the blood of some kind of soul beast. Its aura was also quite different from that of an ordinary horse.

Hu Liena was already waiting there, with Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and Soul Saint Leisak, who had been guiding their cultivation.

Resak was about forty years old, with a resolute face and a tall stature. He wore the exclusive uniform of the Spirit Hall and exuded a calm and collected aura.

He is a powerful offensive type Battle Soul Saint, with the Martial Soul Thunder Bear, and his Soul Power is around level 76.

Because of his reliable and trustworthy character and extreme loyalty to the Spirit Hall, he was sent here as Yue Guan's deputy in this Soul Hunting Operation.

"Elder Yueguan, Teacher Leisak."

Upon seeing the two, Yan and Xie Yue hurriedly ran forward to greet them.

"Um."

Yue Guan responded lightly, her gaze lingering on Yan for a moment longer. She seemed to notice that Yan's aura was becoming increasingly deep and restrained, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

Resak calmly nodded in return.

"Brother, Yan." Hu Liena hurried to greet him, her voice filled with barely suppressed joy.

In the month or so since I last saw her, Hu Liena had undergone a complete transformation.

She seemed to have grown taller, and was wearing a well-fitting outfit that accentuated her slender figure as she began to grow into a young woman.

What is most striking is the change in her temperament. Her previous childlike timidity and coquettishness have almost completely disappeared, replaced by a bright and confident lively spirit.

Her aura seemed even more solid than Xie Yue's. Clearly, under Bibi Dong's tutelage, Hu Liena's foundation had been honed to an extremely solid level, and her mental strength had also made great progress.

This dramatic change startled both Xie Yue and Yan.

Yan thought to himself, "Bibi Dong really treats Hu Liena like her own daughter."

If it weren't for the significant role of the Pope of the Spirit Hall, making it inconvenient for him to act easily, Bibi Dong herself would probably have been leading this Soul Hunting operation.

Even so, Yue Guan was still sent to help.

Xie Yue looked at her younger sister with surprise in her eyes, and grabbed her hand: "Nana, you've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you."

Hu Liena's face was flushed, but her eyes were bright: "It's all thanks to the teacher's excellent guidance."

As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily drifted to Yan beside her. Compared to a month ago, Yan didn't seem to have changed much, but she inexplicably felt a sense of oppression emanating from him.

"Nana."

Seeing Hu Liena looking over, Yan also slightly curled the corners of his mouth and greeted her.

He could sense that Hu Liena's mental strength was stronger and more aggressive than it had been a month ago, which showed that Bibi Dong's teachings were indeed extraordinary.

"Alright, kids, let's catch up later."

Yue Guan's soft, feminine voice interrupted their conversation: "Now that everyone is here, let's set off. Resac, you can take care of the rest."

As he spoke, Yue Guan waved to Hu Liena, and the two walked toward the first carriage in front, which looked even more luxurious.

"Yes, Elder."

Resak quickly bowed, and only stood up after Yue Guan led Hu Liena into the carriage.

Looking at Xie Yue and Yan, he said, "We're going to the Soul Hunting Forest, which belongs to Wuhun City, in a little while."

"It's essentially a hunting ground for low-level soul masters belonging to the Spirit Hall, kept in the Spirit City."

"Of course, compared to the Soul Hunting Forests belonging to the two great empires, the Soul Hunting Forest in Wuhun City has more rare soul beasts, and they are also of better age."

"The oldest soul beasts can even reach ten thousand years old, but of course, these are not the ones you can choose for your first soul ring."

"The Spirit Hall has already selected suitable first spirit ring beasts for you. Here are two booklets for you to take a look at."

As he spoke, Resak took out two light blue booklets from his pocket. They looked thin, with only a dozen or so pages, and handed them to Xie Yue and Yan respectively.

"Once you're on the carriage, you can look through the books. If you find a soul beast you like, let me know. Once you enter the Soul Hunting Forest, you can head straight there to hunt it."

Resac gave some instructions on the journey to the Soul Hunter Forest, then had the two of them get into the carriage. He went to the front of the group, mounted a horse, and led a squad of Spirit Hall knights to clear the way.

The Soul Hunting Forest is generally a place opened up by the Spirit Hall in various parts of the continent for Soul Masters to go and hunt souls.

Unlike the Star Dou Great Forest and Sunset Forest, which are vast habitats for soul beasts, the soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest are generally low-level soul beasts that are kept in captivity, allowing low-level soul masters to hunt for souls.

To hunt soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest, one generally needs to present a warrant from the Spirit Hall.

After Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang accepted Tang San as his disciple, he went to one of the Soul Hunting Forests under the Heaven Dou Empire to hunt souls.

The Soul Hunting Forest that Yan and his group were going to was a Soul Hunting Forest kept by the Spirit Hall and exclusively belonging to Spirit City. The quality and age of the soul beasts there were much better than those in ordinary Soul Hunting Forests.

Even its area is larger than that of a typical Soul Hunting Forest.

Despite being called the Soul Hunting Forest, it is actually a habitat for soul beasts kept by low-level soul masters belonging to the Spirit Hall in Wuhun City.

Inside the carriage, the light flickered as the scenery outside the window rushed by.

Xie Yue and Yan sat facing each other. After a brief conversation, they both calmed down and opened the Soul Beast Book given to them by Leisak.

The booklet is thin but made of very good paper. When you open it, you'll find neat handwritten characters and a lot of detailed illustrations.

Xie Yue looked at it intently. His martial soul was the top-tier weapon martial soul, Moon Blade, and the soul beasts recorded in his soul beast book were mostly soul beasts with characteristics related to agility, attack, and moonlight.

Moon Blade is a weapon spirit, and its path is destined to be extreme attack and speed. Ideally, its first spirit skill should enhance the sharpness of Moon Blade, its attack range, or some special slashing effect.

Compared to Xie Yue's meticulousness, Yan flipped through the booklet much faster.

His gaze swept across the pages of the encyclopedia, his goal was very clear: high-quality fire-attribute offensive soul beasts, with the age of the soul beasts being as high as possible.

The soul beasts recorded in the booklet were indeed carefully selected, and there were even a few high-quality soul beasts that possessed both fire and earth attributes, which seemed to be just right for his Flame Lord.

If it were the original Yan, he might have chosen from these soul beasts, but the current Yan is clearly not satisfied with these fire and earth attribute soul beasts.
