The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Thinking of this, a relieved smile returned to her face.

Chu Qingtian and Ye Liu weren't much better off; they couldn't help but gasp.

Is this really just a junior from the foreign language department? Are young people these days all this fierce?

Terrifying, utterly terrifying.

Zhang Lexuan waved her hand and began to direct the crowd.

"Alright, Qingtian, go and deal with that Netherworld Tiger. This soul beast should be a good match for your Electric Leopard Martial Soul. Ming'er, you and Ye Liu keep watch on the surroundings."

"Yes, Senior Sister."

Once he realized what was happening, Chu Qingtian rubbed his hands together excitedly.

He had indeed considered absorbing the soul ring of this Netherworld Tiger before, but now that it was actually in front of him, he felt a sense of unreality.

As he passed by Xu Zihuang, he reached out his right hand and patted Xu Zihuang's shoulder heavily, saying solemnly and sincerely, "Junior Brother Yu, thank you. From now on, your affairs are your Brother Chu's affairs."

This shameless fellow immediately took advantage of the situation and started calling Xu Zihuang his brother.

Anyone with eyes to see can see that Xu Zihuang is destined for great things and will inevitably become the leader of the next generation of core disciples. It's always good to cultivate a good relationship beforehand.

Xu Zihuang smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhang Lexuan.

"Senior Sister, I'd like to cultivate for a while now."

"Tianhuang, focus on your cultivation. We'll take care of the rest." Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly and came to Xu Zihuang's side. Her voice was gentle and clear, yet it gave people an indescribable sense of security.

In that brief moment, the Netherworld Tiger's life force was nearly exhausted. Chu Qingtian took out a cold iron dagger and easily pierced it through its eerie green eyes, ending its life completely. He then sat down cross-legged beside it.

A jet-black spirit ring slowly floated out from the Netherworld Tiger's body.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a ten-thousand-year-old soul ring. When it appeared, the air seemed to thicken, and a fierce aura emanated from it.

Chu Qingtian took a deep breath, calming his turbulent emotions, and used his soul power to guide the soul ring to begin merging with himself.

The group temporarily ignored the corpse of the Netherworld Ghost Tiger. Sensing the blood aura of a soul beast of the Netherworld Ghost Tiger's level, few soul beasts dared to approach.

It's like a natural layer of protection.

Chu Qingtian sat there, his body trembling slightly. After withstanding the soul shock from the Netherworld Ghost Tiger, his breathing began to stabilize.

For an average level 60 Soul Master, absorbing the Soul Ring of a Netherworld Ghost Tiger with 15,000 years of cultivation is extremely difficult. However, the inner court disciples from Shrek Academy are definitely not in this category. They consume various nutritious meals provided by the inner court every day, and their physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary Soul Masters.

Chu Qingtian's process of absorbing the soul ring ultimately ended without any major incidents.

Wu Ming and Ye Liu stood beside Chu Qingtian, protecting him. Zhang Lexuan, on the other hand, was beside Xu Zihuang.

Of course, the four people were not too far apart.

Whether it was the scent of the ten-thousand-year-old Netherworld Tiger's blood that had an effect or not, the group did not encounter any attacks from soul beasts in the next half hour.

Exhaling a heavy breath, Xu Zihuang, having finished his cultivation, opened his bright, piercing eyes. The first thing that caught his eye was Zhang Lexuan's stunningly beautiful face, her long black hair cascading down to her slender waist, exuding a serene yet graceful charm.

Xu Zihuang stood up and called out.

"Senior Sister."

Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly with a gentle smile.

However, someone wasn't as composed as Zhang Lexuan. Seeing Xu Zihuang finish his cultivation, Wu Ming almost couldn't wait to voice the question that had been on her mind.

"Junior Brother Yu, was the soul skill you used earlier a time-attribute soul skill?"

She belatedly realized the characteristics of Xu Zi's third soul skill.

Xu Zihuang made no attempt to hide his third soul skill and always answered Wu Ming's questions openly.

Ye Liu, who was standing nearby, chimed in with a few words at the opportune moment.

Time flew by as everyone chatted.

The Soul Ring of the Ten Thousand Year Netherworld Tiger was extremely powerful, and it took Chu Qingtian nearly five hours to absorb it completely.

One spirit ring after another began to rise from his body.

Two yellow, two purple, two black. When the sixth soul ring finally rose, all the soul power radiance on his body was also withdrawn into his body.

The first thing he did upon regaining consciousness was to excitedly give Xu Zihuang a big hug.

That ancient Netherworld Tiger did indeed grant him an extraordinary soul skill, and all of this was thanks to Yu Tianhuang and Zhang Lexuan.

After they parted, Chu Qingtian clenched his fists, too excited to know what to say for a moment.

"Senior Chu, let me make this clear first, I don't like men." Xu Zihuang joked with a smile, effectively easing the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Chu Qingtian chuckled.

"What a coincidence, me too."

"Really? I don't believe it." Wu Ming, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, her face full of doubt.

Ye Liu, Ye Liu's mischievous friend, nodded in deep agreement.

"Qingtian, if you were straight, would you still be single?"

A joyful atmosphere filled the air. Even Zhang Lexuan's lips twitched slightly.

At this moment, the excited voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm rang out once again in Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea.

"Zihuang, at a distance of 15 degrees and 5 kilometers to your left, there is a soul beast whose attributes and age are very suitable for you!"

Chapter 130 Silver Beast

"That soul beast is approaching."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm reminded me once again.

Xu Zihuang subconsciously looked in the direction indicated by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Although the Netherworld Tiger from last night was extremely fast, it emitted an undeniable eerie green light, which allowed Xu Zihuang to use the light source to capture its form.

But the soul beast in front of us is different; it seems to have merged its body with its surroundings.

Even with the guidance of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Xu Zihuang still had to go through a lot of trouble to find the soul beast hiding behind a thick tree trunk a thousand meters away, spying on them.

This spirit beast looked somewhat like a dog, but its limbs were extremely thick, and its body shape was very strange. It had no fur, but was covered in scales, and its eyes emitted a pale white light.

It has an exceptionally ferocious face, long and ugly, with protruding fangs.

His appearance is truly hard to compliment.

Its scales constantly reflected fluctuations of soul power, thereby concealing its aura.

Just as the two locked eyes, the soul beast decisively turned and retreated.

Although its speed was not as fast as the Netherworld Tiger from last night, it still instantly turned into a blur.

"Silver Elite Beast?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, seeing the appearance of this soul beast through Xu Zihuang's perspective, exclaimed excitedly.

"Zihuang, this Silver Elite Beast is a soul beast that excels in both spirit and agility. Although it can't compare to the top-tier soul beasts, its innate soul skill is extremely powerful and very suitable for you. Don't let it slip by. This Silver Elite Beast is already on the verge of extinction; you might not even find a second one in this Star Dou Great Forest!"

Even without Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's explanation, Xu Zihuang recognized the origin of this soul beast.

The Silver Beast still made some noise as it escaped.

Zhang Lexuan, a powerful expert at the Contra level, keenly sensed the anomaly and her gaze met Xu Zihuang's.

Xu Zihuang quickly looked at Zhang Lexuan and said, "Senior Sister, the soul beast that just escaped should be very suitable as my fourth soul ring."

Wu Ming, Chu Qingtian, and Ye Liu also realized what was happening and looked in the direction the two were looking.

In that short time, the Silver Beast was about to disappear into the distant forest.

Zhang Lexuan made a decisive decision.

"Everyone, let's chase after them together. And Tianhuang, remember not to stray more than five meters from me."

"Yes, Senior Sister." Everyone responded and released their respective martial souls.

Although everyone's cultivation levels fluctuated greatly, with the strongest being Zhang Lexuan, who was already a Soul Douluo, and the weakest being Xu Zihuang, who only had a level 40 Soul Power, it did not hinder their tacit cooperation.

Apart from Xu Zihuang, everyone else was an inner court disciple. They all had that much self-discipline.

Zhang Lexuan charged ahead, her soul power of over level 80 and the oppressive aura of her 100,000-year soul ring providing protection for Xu Zihuang behind her.

Wu Ming and Ye Liu, the two Soul Masters with flying-type Martial Souls, maintained low-altitude flight and followed closely behind.

As for Chu Qingtian, being the only agility-type Soul Master among them, he needs to shoulder more responsibility when tracking Soul Beasts.

In direct confrontation, agility-type Soul Masters are clearly countered by power-type, defense-type, or control-type Soul Masters. However, in the complex and open Star Dou Great Forest, their speed advantage can undoubtedly be maximized.

In a team hunting spirit beasts, agility-type spirit masters are indispensable. In addition to scouting and monitoring the surroundings in advance, they also need to use their speed to restrain spirit beasts that try to escape when necessary.

Two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings—six perfectly matched soul rings—swirled around Chu Qingtian, his figure flashing repeatedly as he rapidly closed the distance to the Silver Spirit Beast.

Although Silver Beast is also very fast, its main attribute is still the Spirit attribute.

Chu Qingtian has always been known as the fastest Soul Master in the Inner Academy.

Suddenly, his third spirit ring shone brightly, crackling and bursting with countless bolts of lightning. In the flash of lightning, he vanished, as if he had merged into the lightning.

Generally, Soul Masters with lightning abilities use lightning for attack. But he is an exception; the lightning attached to his Electric Leopard Martial Soul is used to increase speed.

He can transform into lightning, instantly boosting his speed to the extreme.

With the help of his third soul skill, he once again closed the distance between himself and the silver beast.

Normally he would be much calmer, but now that he has just advanced to Soul Emperor, he wants to truly feel the improvement in his own strength, and he also wants to help Xu Zihuang keep that Silver Spirit Beast out of gratitude.

So fast was he that he didn’t even realize he was gradually falling behind the others.

Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly and couldn't help but remind him, "Qingtian, don't go too deep into the pursuit alone."

Xu Zihuang also realized something and shouted at Chu Qingtian.

"Senior Chu, it's best not to use skills above the fourth soul skill level."

Unfortunately, before Xu Zihuang could finish speaking, Chu Qingtian's deep sixth spirit ring lit up.

The electricity around him began to turn a ghostly green, giving him an ethereal appearance. He darted into a gaping green light that suddenly appeared in front of him, the light receded, and in the next instant, he was a hundred meters away.

After several leaps, it completely leveled the distance, blocking the way for the Silver Beast.
