So, during his recovery period, Sword Douluo would walk alone to the ice cliff outside the cave every morning, facing the biting cold wind, close his eyes, and activate the Killing Domain again and again.

By honing his killing skills amidst the ubiquitous ice and snow of the far north, Sword Douluo felt himself becoming increasingly proficient.

Wang Teng's recovery speed is slower than Sword Douluo's.

His injuries were already more severe, and the energy of the Cold Abyss Dragon Chi still lingered in his body and had not been fully digested, so for the first month or so, he spent most of his time lying in the cave to recuperate.

Ning Rongrong would bring him a freshly brewed medicinal soup every day, while Zhu Zhuqing would help him change his dressings and bandage his wounds.

These herbal decoctions were prepared before they left home; they were all general-purpose healing medicines.

Sometimes Wang Teng felt embarrassed and wanted to do it himself, but Zhu Zhuqing simply said "Don't move" and pressed him back down.

After taking the herbal medicine, Wang Teng's injuries recovered quite well.

After his injuries gradually healed, Wang Teng couldn't wait to start cultivating.

Now, Wang Teng has just absorbed his seventh spirit ring, and there is still some residual energy in his body.

Therefore, during his subsequent cultivation, Wang Teng felt his soul power rapidly increasing.

In addition to healing their injuries and cultivating, Wang Teng and Sword Douluo have an unwavering daily routine—sparring.

Every afternoon, Sword Douluo and Wang Teng would walk to the relatively open ice field outside the cave, stand face to face, and then begin their duel.

It was called a competition, but it was more like giving pointers.

Sword Douluo's cultivation level was more than two major realms higher than Wang Teng's. If they really fought, Wang Teng wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move.

Therefore, Sword Douluo deliberately suppressed his soul power to within the seventh ring, using only sword techniques and movement skills to deal with Wang Teng.

Wang Teng directly unleashed his seventh soul skill, "Spinning Top True Form," and, together with his martial soul, launched an attack on Sword Douluo.

Under Sword Douluo's tutelage, Wang Teng's first six spirit rings worked together better and better, and his combat ability was slowly improving.

As for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, their lives were simple yet fulfilling.

Besides taking care of Wang Teng and the others' daily needs, the two women quietly cultivated their skills.

They hadn't had a chance to intervene in the previous battle from beginning to end, which made the two proud women somewhat upset.

And so, the days passed one by one.

Four months later.

On the morning of that day, Wang Teng woke up from his cross-legged sitting as usual and habitually circulated his soul power.

The soul power flowed smoothly through the meridians, thick and long, and even more solid than it had been four months ago.

He focused his mind slightly and tried to activate his soul power.

Level 76.

Wang Teng's lips slowly curled up.

Four months of arduous training paid off. The rise from level 75 to 76 signified that Wang Teng had completely solidified his Soul Saint realm.

On the other side, Sword Douluo also opened his eyes from meditation.

His injuries have long since healed.

The ice crystal toxins left behind by Hyotei were completely expelled by his soul power three months ago.

After three months of continuous refinement, his killing skills have finally matured.

"Rongrong, Zhuqing, come here for a moment."

Wang Teng shouted into the cave.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing came over as soon as they heard the call.

Wang Teng and Sword Douluo looked at them at the same time, their eyes lighting up almost simultaneously.

Ning Rongrong's soul power fluctuations were significantly stronger than they had been four months ago; the full and abundant aura was clearly a sign that she had broken through to level sixty.

Zhu Zhuqing's changes were equally significant; she was surrounded by a cold, eerie light, and she too had broken through to level 60.

Wang Teng looked at the two women, sensing the fluctuations in their auras, and asked in surprise, "You two have broken through?"

Level 60.

Zhu Zhuqing briefly stated her level.

"Me too, I'm level 60!"

Ning Rongrong said with a smile, her eyes full of joy.

Sword Douluo stroked his beard, nodded slightly, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

Wang Teng pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Sword Douluo and said, "Grandpa Sword, our injuries are all healed now, and Rongrong and Zhuqing have also broken through to level sixty."

"In my opinion, we should take this opportunity to help them obtain their sixth spirit ring first, and then return to the sect."

What do you think?

Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo glanced at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, then looked at Wang Teng. After a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "You're right."

"Now that the two girls have reached level 60, obtaining soul rings as soon as possible will greatly benefit their cultivation."

"However, although there are many soul beasts in this far north, it is not easy to find high-level soul beasts that are suitable for them."

"Why don't we leave here and find somewhere else?"

Upon hearing that she would be helping her hunt for a spirit ring, Ning Rongrong immediately perked up and leaned closer to ask, "So, are we leaving tomorrow? Where are we going?"

Wang Teng thought for a moment, and the outline of a forest appeared in his mind: "Sunset Forest, I guess."

"It's close to the sect, and there are many kinds of soul beasts there, so it's quite suitable."

"After hunting for the spirit rings, we can go straight back to the sect."

Sword Douluo had no objection.

Zhu Zhuqing simply nodded quietly.

After breakfast, the four of them packed their belongings.

There wasn't much to pack, so the four of them left.

"Soul Bone Skill: Flight!"

Wang Teng activated his Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, put one arm around Zhu Zhuqing, and the two flew into the sky.

"Rongrong, let's go!"

Sword Douluo waved his hand, his soul power enveloping Ning Rongrong, and then chased after her.

The four flew towards Sunset Forest.

Chapter 484 The Second Woman's Sixth Soul Ring

Soon, Wang Teng and his group flew over Sunset Forest.

They traveled at breakneck speed, from the edge of the far north to the Sunset Forest, a distance of at least several thousand miles. However, Wang Teng's flying soul bone skill was extremely fast, and with the help of Sword Douluo's powerful soul force, the familiar lush forest appeared at the edge of their sight in just three days.

Sunset Forest covers a vast area. When viewed from above, it looks like a huge dark green velvet carpet spread across the earth, with layers of tree canopies undulating and stretching all the way to the horizon where they meet the clouds.

With Sword Douluo, a peerless powerhouse at level 99, in charge, the four of them did not proceed cautiously and cautiously like ordinary soul-hunting teams. Instead, they swaggered over directly from above the forest.

The trees below rushed past, their branches and leaves rustling in the wind.

Zhu Zhuqing, with Wang Teng's arm around her, looked down at the vast forest rushing past below, frowned slightly, and asked softly, "Grandpa Jian, are we going to get into trouble for being so bold?"

Zhu Zhuqing said this not out of fear.

However, she has always been cautious and is used to understanding the terrain and scouting the enemy situation before hunting souls.

Now that they've barged in so ostentatiously, Zhu Zhuqing felt uneasy.

Before Sword Douluo could speak, Ning Rongrong preemptively replied, her tone full of nonchalance: "Zhu Qing, you just overthink things."

"All we need are two soul beasts that are around 30,000 years old, not some ferocious beast that is 100,000 years old."

"With Grandpa Jian and Wang Teng around, what could possibly happen?"

You can rest assured!

After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, she reached out and patted Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder, looking completely at ease.

Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo laughed heartily, his voice booming like a bell: "Rongrong is right, Zhuqing, you can rest assured!"

Before he finished speaking, his aura suddenly surged.

It was an invisible yet heavy sense of oppression, as heavy as a mountain, with the immense pressure of level 99 soul power spreading out into the forest below without any concealment.

The oppressive aura was formless and intangible, yet it possessed a substantial deterrent force, like an invisible giant hand pressing down from the sky.

The forest erupted in chaos.

Countless soul beasts were terrified by this sudden and terrifying aura, their souls scattered.

Birds perched in the treetops cried out and took flight in all directions; beasts hidden in the bushes ran wildly in all directions, breaking dead branches and smashing low trees, creating a series of noisy commotion.

Seeing this, Sword Douluo smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Zhu Zhuqing, and said with a hint of mischief in his tone, "How about it?"

Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, then nodded obediently and exclaimed sincerely, "Amazing!"

At this moment, Wang Teng took out a map he carried with him from his bosom. This was a map of the Sunset Forest that he had obtained from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

He unfolded it and examined it carefully, then looked up, pointed to a direction to the left front, and said confidently, "Grandpa Sword, fly to the left front."

"Judging from the map, there should be a suitable soul beast for Zhu Qing not far away."

"That area is home to many shadow and agility-type soul beasts, and they are quite old."

Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo didn't say anything. He simply turned around and flew to the left front with Wang Teng and the other two.

After flying for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the terrain below gradually began to change.

The once continuous dense forest has become sparser, and the terrain has risen slightly, forming a hilly area with varying elevations.

Wang Teng's gaze suddenly sharpened. He keenly sensed a powerful fluctuation of soul energy deep within the hills ahead, cold, dark, and carrying a faint, almost imperceptible aura of danger.

"That's it."

Wang Teng said in a low voice.
