A Bite of Douluo Continent

Although he will soon become a first-ring Soul Master, this level of cultivation is still too low for his age.

Even ordinary Soul Masters, in their twenties, would have an average cultivation level of two or three rings.

I still need to do more tasks and increase my soul power level as soon as possible.

The three of them thoroughly enjoyed the barbecue.

After finishing his meal and resting for a while, Qi Han decided to continue towards the nearest herd of armored bulls.

The Yuehen grandfather and grandson didn't have a strong specific purpose in searching for soul beasts. Since Qi Han's direction was towards the interior of the Star Dou Great Forest, the three of them decided to travel together.

This was a wonderful thing for Qi Han.

Moonmark is extremely powerful; he is a Soul Emperor with six rings.

Although the system requires Qi Han to kill an armored bull independently, armored bulls are herd animals. Having a powerful figure like Qi Han to help hold off the other armored bulls will make things much easier for Qi Han.

Chapter Nineteen: Battle with the Ironclad Bull

The Star Dou Great Forest is vast. After traveling dozens of kilometers from the outermost area, Qi Han and his companions finally emerged from the outermost layer of the Star Dou Great Forest and arrived in the sub-outermost area.

The outermost Star Dou Great Forest is mainly inhabited by ten-year-old soul beasts, with occasional hundred-year-old soul beasts, but they are all relatively young. The next outermost layer is different.

The spirit beasts here are mostly hundred-year-old spirit beasts, with occasional thousand-year-old spirit beasts appearing.

If Qi Han had come alone, he would have faced numerous dangers, but with Yuehen accompanying him, his safety was not a major concern.

Soon, the three arrived at the area where the armored bulls gathered. According to the system's instructions, there were more than a dozen armored bulls living in this area, and Qi Han only needed to kill one of them to complete the mission.

Qi Han had already told Yuehen his purpose on the way, and asked Yuehen to help him hold off the other armored bulls, only needing to leave one for him to deal with alone.

A hundred-year-old soul beast poses no threat to a Soul Emperor, and for Yuehen, it's merely a matter of lifting a finger, so there's nothing wrong with it.

The armored bulls were very hostile towards soul masters. The moment they saw the three of them, all the armored bulls stood up, lowered their heads slightly, and pointed their sharp, knife-like horns at Qi Han and the other two, entering a state of alert.

"Humph."

Yuehen let out a soft snort, and his figure suddenly grew taller, transforming from a somewhat hunched figure into a giant three meters tall in an instant.

His short, gray hair instantly transformed into long, silvery-white hair, and a crescent moon appeared between his eyebrows.

At the same time, six halos appeared around him.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black.

It's not the optimal soul ring combination, but it's not too far off.

Both Yuehen and Yuelian possess a beast-type martial soul called the Silver Moon Wolf. At this moment, with Yuehen's martial soul possessing him, he looks as if he has transformed into a werewolf.

The first spirit ring suddenly lit up, and a silver-white claw shadow, as long as two meters, rushed towards the armored bull herd, directly sending the thick-skinned armored bulls flying.

Under Moonshine's deliberate control, only one armored bull, which appeared to be slightly smaller, remained.

Clearly, this was left for Qi Han.

Qi Han's eyes lit up, and he charged towards the armored bull, already holding the Fine Rain Needle.

[Please do not use poisonous weapons to kill the Armored Bulls. Inedible Armored Bulls will not be counted towards the mission.]

Is that even a requirement?

Fortunately, I was prepared.

With a flash of his hand, Qi Han replaced the original fine rain needle with another fine rain needle. If you look closely, you will find a special mark on the outer shell of this fine rain needle.

He bought a total of five fine rain needles, four of which were poisoned and one was non-poisonous.

The non-toxic item is perfect for completing the task at this moment.

"Moo".

The armored bull that Qi Han had his eye on stood there dumbfounded. It had not yet recovered from the shock of Yuehen's claw, but when it suddenly realized that Qi Han was charging towards it, it snapped back to its senses.

After letting out a low growl, the armored bull lowered its head, and its pair of horns, each a meter long, with tips like two horizontal daggers, charged straight at Qi Han's body.

The armored bull's body was covered with scales that reflected a cold light, gleaming eerily in the sunlight.

It was much larger than the cows on Blue Star, standing three meters tall, and ran extremely fast. In just a few breaths, it appeared in front of Qi Han.

Qi Han could even clearly see the powerful muscle lines on the Ironclad Bull's huge and robust body.

He took a deep breath, and with his other hand, he took out the Flying Claw from his waist and launched it instantly.

The Flying Claw flew horizontally towards the Ironclad Bull, less than a meter high.

The armored bull pushed off the ground with all four legs and leaped into the air to dodge the attack. Its skilled hunting technique allowed it to accurately judge where Qi Han was.

Its four legs retracted, drawing an arc in the air, and it flew towards Qi Han like a cannonball. Its long horn, gleaming with a cold light, pierced straight towards Qi Han's position like a javelin.

If this attack hits, Qi Han will not only be pierced by the bull's horn, but will also be instantly crushed into mincemeat by the massive weight of the armored bull, which weighs several tons.

“Du”.

A soft sound came from behind the armored bull. It was the sound of the flying claw grabbing a tree trunk behind the armored bull. In the next instant, Qi Han's body quickly moved forward, skimming low in the direction the flying claw was flying.

He lay on his back, his body leaning back sharply, one hand gripping one end of the Flying Claw tightly. Using the force of the Flying Claw retracting, he pulled his body to dodge the Ironclad Bull's attack, while his other hand instantly aimed the nozzle of the Rain Needles at the only weak point of the Ironclad Bull directly above him.

abdomen.

The fine rain needles unleashed countless flying needles, truly resembling a continuous drizzle, yet they remained concentrated and undispersed, their attack entirely focused on the area around the Ironclad Bull's belly. The two figures swiftly passed each other, and Qi Han steadied himself, retracted his Flying Divine Claw, and turned around.

Behind him, the armored bull crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The armored bull let out a painful, weak roar. Its body twitched slightly twice before it became completely still, and the light in its eyes disappeared.

The fine needle pierced his abdomen, almost penetrating all his internal organs; this level of injury directly cost Ironclad Bull his life.

Soon, a faint yellow halo appeared on the surface of the armored bull's body, which quickly condensed into a yellow ring that appeared above its corpse.

[Please collect the brisket of the Ironclad Bull and submit it to the system as raw material for mission completion.]

Qi Han nodded, picked up a kitchen knife, and began to dismember the Ironclad Bull from its soft belly.

Beef brisket is the tender meat from the belly and near the ribs of a cow, rich in tendons and marbling, making it suitable for stewing.

Since all the fine needles were inside the Ironclad Bull's internal organs, Qi Han didn't keep the internal organs and threw them all aside. Then he carefully peeled off the Ironclad Bull's shell.

After cutting the beef brisket into pieces and storing it in the system space, Qi Han heard a notification from the system the next instant.

【Ding! 】

[A task has been detected that has been completed on the host.]

Limited-time task: Ingredient acquisition (Completed)

Task Rewards: System Soul Ring x1 (claimable), Two-Star Recipe: Tomato Beef Brisket (not available yet as Dongpo Pork Knuckle training is not yet complete)

finished!

Qi Han smiled slightly.

He certainly wouldn't receive the system spirit ring here, after all...

"again and again."

Yuehen came up behind Qi Han and looked at the soul ring floating in the air with surprise.

"Little Qi, aren't you going to absorb a spirit ring?"

After all, in Yuehen's opinion, it was already a remarkable achievement for Qi Han to kill such a century-old soul beast, and he should absorb the soul ring as soon as possible.

Qi Han shook his head. "The Ironclad Bull's soul ring is not suitable for me. The main reason I want to kill the Ironclad Bull is to use it to make dishes."

Seeing Yuehen's confused expression, Qi Han smiled slightly.

"After all, I am a chef, not a soul master."

Chapter Twenty: System Soul Rings and First Soul Skill

"tasty!"

Qi Han took a big bite of the grilled iron-clad beef, the rich juices bursting in his mouth, and the intense aroma filling his mouth and nose.

Yuehen sat cross-legged opposite Qi Han, his eating style far more elegant than Qi Han's.

After taking a bite of the meat skewer, Yuehen couldn't help but nod in admiration, glancing affectionately at the little girl Yuelian sitting next to him.

The little girl was holding a piece of meat bigger than her face and eating it with great relish.

"Little Qi, your cooking skills are truly excellent. I imagine your shop is doing very well." Yuehen savored the taste of the roasted meat with lingering enjoyment, and sighed inwardly as she thought of Qi Han's soul power level of only level ten at over twenty years old.

Everyone has their own ambitions.

He wanted to help Qi Han obtain a suitable spirit ring, but Qi Han politely declined. Perhaps, as Qi Han said, he was more like a chef than a spirit master.

However, given Qi Han's talent, staying away from the dangers of the Soul Master world and becoming a chef is not a bad choice.

Qi Han smiled slightly, "My shop is located in Shrek City. If you have the chance, Mr. Matchmaker, you can come and have a taste."

“Shrek City?” Yuehen looked at Qi Han in surprise. “If I have the chance, I will definitely go and try it.”

"Big brother, when I go to Shrek Academy, I will also visit your little shop!" Yue Lian stared wide-eyed at Qi Han.

This older brother's barbecue is super delicious!

Qi Han smiled. With Yue Lian's innate soul power at level eight, the probability of her being admitted to Shrek Academy was still quite high.

"Then good luck, your brother will be waiting for you in Shrek City."

"Ok!"

...

All good things come to an end.

After a satisfying meal, Yuehen and Yuelian continued their search for a suitable soul ring for Yuelian, while Qi Han got up and left the Star Dou Great Forest in the direction he had come from.

This is, after all, the Soul Beast Forest. If we leave in other directions, the unknown dangers will pose a significant threat to Qi Han's current strength.

After getting away from the grandfather and grandson, Qi Han looked around to make sure there was no one else nearby. Then, with a thought, he received the system soul ring.

His martial spirit appeared uncontrollably in his hand, and a hazy white light appeared on the blade of the cleaver.

This white light was extremely similar to the white light emitted when a ten-year-old soul beast died, and under Qi Han's gaze, it slowly condensed into a white soul ring.
