Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 24 The Hunt! (Please continue reading!!!)

After 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 about thirty or forty years of cultivation, but because of their large numbers, they often live in packs. A pack of wind wolves with a number of digits is considered normal.

Xu Yuan approached this pack of wind wolves.

At first, Xu Shengqun thought that Xu Yuan had accidentally encountered this pack of wind wolves. But as Xu Yuan charged straight towards the pack of wind wolves, Xu Shengqun's heart jumped into his throat. He realized that this was not an accident, but that Xu Yuan had deliberately sought them out!

Xu Yuan, wielding the Heavenly Origin Spear, charged into the pack of Wind Wolves.

The intense fighting made his blood boil, a feeling that was incredibly captivating.

During this year, under Xu Shengqun's guidance, Xu Yuan honed his spear skills, mastering various techniques with ease. He also possessed the Five Elements Spear Spirit and the Heavenly Origin Spear. In battle, Xu Yuan would even throw his spear for long-range shooting.

This battle was fought with every means at its disposal.

It only took ten minutes.

The group of seventeen wind wolves was completely annihilated by Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan had three wounds on his body caused by the wind wolves' wind blades and claws.

The forces of water and wood flowed through the wounds, nourishing the surrounding cells and rapidly healing his three wounds.

This pack of wind wolves provided Xu Yuan with approximately fifty years of cultivation.

Although Xu Yuan was using water and wood elements to heal his wounds, he did not stop, but continued to search for prey with his gun.

Outsiders, Xu Shengqun's heart was in his throat.

The battle Xu Yuan just fought was incredibly intense. Although the difference in individual strength between Feng Lang and him was huge, and they were no longer on the same level, Xu Yuan's sweeping spear was enough to severely injure Feng Lang. The spear thrust combined with the Five Elements Spear Light could basically save Feng Lang's life. However, in a situation where one was against seventeen, the opportunity to strike with the spear was not so easy to find.

Xu Yuan, however, managed to seize every opportunity he could find in this battle and kill all the wind wolves, yet he only had three non-fatal wounds on his body, wounds that could not even be considered serious injuries.

"Xiao Yuan seems to be enjoying this kind of battle?" Xu Shengqun looked at the scene on the screen where he continued to search for prey with his gun, and his expression was complicated as he looked at the expression on Xu Yuan's face.

"Even less consumption and damage can be achieved."

Xu Yuan reflected on every detail of the previous battle, reviewing his soul power consumption and the unavoidable injuries he sustained. He simulated tactics that consumed less soul power and made advance predictions about situations that might lead to unavoidable injuries for injuries.

Inside the Ascension Platform, Xu Yuan began his hunt.

On average, he goes through a major battle every hour, recovering while searching for his next prey.

Each major battle grants him spiritual power for anywhere from thirty to seventy years, averaging about fifty years each time.

After ten hours, including the 130 years he gained from the initial encounter with the three fire lions, he had gained a total of about 600 years.

Six hundred years!

In just ten hours.

This is something many Soul Masters dare not even imagine.

After all, obtaining spiritual power in the Spirit Ascension Platform also requires hunting soul beasts. No normal soul master has the hunting efficiency of Xu Yuan alone. Even if they team up, there is still the issue of assigning the final blow, which will result in very little spiritual power on average for each soul master.

It's estimated that only a powerful force would be able to match Xu Yuan's efficiency by specifically increasing the age of his soul rings for his juniors. It's like an invincible powerhouse in the Spirit Ascension Platform personally leading his junior soul masters to hunt soul beasts, leaving all the finishing blows to his juniors.

Xu Yuan's Five Elements Spear Spirit originally had a short lifespan, not even reaching the limit of the first soul ring lifespan for a normal soul master, but only three hundred years.

Now, after such a significant increase, it has reached nine hundred years.

He could feel the enhancement of his Five Elements Spear Spirit, a very clear sensation.

The gun spirit is improving, the soul rings are improving, and the effects of the soul skills are gradually increasing.

Whether it was the effect of actual combat or the improvement of his soul skills, Xu Yuan's understanding of spear techniques improved rapidly in the process.

"I don't know if I can beat a thousand-year-old soul beast in my current situation." Xu Yuan only has a hundred years left to achieve his goal, so he naturally wants to solve it once and for all.

However, after thinking it over, he gave up.

Ultimately, he was only one link in the chain, and his strength was greatly limited by various factors, with a significant gap between him and a thousand-year-old soul beast.

A thousand-year-old soul beast is not like those three hundred-year-old fire lions. Although they provide the same spiritual power, the threat they pose is worlds apart.

It was a complete qualitative change, from attack to defense to speed. If Xu Yuan wanted to break through the defense, he would first have to deliver a completely peak strike, and even then, he might not be able to find the opponent's fatal flaw.

This kind of battle is bound to be unwinnable.

The hundred-year-old soul beast is still at the same level as Xu Yuan in terms of strength, but it struggles in battle. However, the thousand-year-old soul beast is already at a different level.

It's not about the level of cultivation, but about the division of strength.

Xu Yuan is only a one-ring Soul Master. If compared to a Soul Beast, he certainly wouldn't reach the level of a hundred-year-old Soul Beast. It's just that he has excellent talent, so he can unleash the strength of a hundred-year-old Soul Beast.

"There are buffer zones deep within the primary Spirit Ascension Platform, often guarded by guardians. The guardian deep within the Spirit Ascension Platform of the Spirit Pagoda in East Sea City is a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Defeating it will drop the Dark Gold Terrorclaw External Soul Bone. I wonder what kind of soul beast the guardian is in Tianhai City."

Thinking about taking on a thousand-year-old soul beast one-on-one, Xu Yuan also thought of the guardians.

Although he knew the difference in strength, he rationally refrained from seeking out and killing his opponent right now, but he couldn't resist his curiosity.

Xu Yuan was quite envious.

If we're comparing it to Donghai City, then if this guardian could also possess an external soul bone, its value would be immense.

"You little vixen, I'll find you and kill you sooner or later!"

In the last two hours, Xu Yuan honestly sought out and hunted normal soul beasts, increasing the age of his soul ring to around 1,100 years.

After half a day of fighting, he was quite exhausted and voluntarily withdrew from the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Xu Shengqun's expression was complicated as he watched his nephew slowly sit up in the instrument chamber.

"Xiao Yuan, I didn't expect you to complete the mission in just one day."

Xu Yuan wanted to speak, but the next moment, after absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, his body also changed. The Five Elements Spear Spirit within him entered a transformation phase, and he almost fainted as a result.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan possessed strong mental power and remained conscious. He quickly sat cross-legged to meditate and coordinate with the evolution of the gun spirit.

The yellow spirit ring around his body was rapidly changing, turning from pale yellow to bright, and then a touch of purple appeared, quickly spreading throughout the entire spirit ring.

Millennium Soul Ring!

Xu Shengqun watched as Xu Yuan's soul evolved, very curious about what changes would occur after the evolution.

After all, Xu Yuan's soul spirit was a spear soul spirit, a weapon soul spirit, and there had never been a case before where it was absorbed by a soul master and elevated to a thousand years.
