Chapter 12: Light Unicorn! A Show-off Father!
However, regarding Hu Bai, a Soul Master with the Nine-tailed Sky Fox Martial Soul, he seemed to sense something from him—something he couldn't quite explain or pinpoint.
That feeling was very peculiar, but he couldn't grasp it.
But it didn't matter. It looked like Qian Renxue's relationship with him was very good. Qian Daoliu decided to observe for a while longer. If Hu Bai could truly display extraordinary talent, perhaps he could let him get to know Qian Renxue.
After all, the Xie family had been members of Spirit Hall since ancient times—loyal for generations. Now, only Xie Tian remained as the sole heir. Qian Daoliu was very happy that Xie Tian had three talented children in this generation.
If the Nine-tailed Sky Fox Martial Soul truly possessed extraordinary power to control natural elements, then he could consider asking those old fellows for help to guide him. Otherwise, they would just be idle in the Worship Hall, practically rusting away.
But it was too early to discuss all this now. He would talk about it after Hu Bai returned.
On the third day, there was still no sign of Xie Tian and the others returning. Hu Liena and Xie Yue couldn't wait any longer. Bibi Dong, left with no choice, took the three of them and set off for the Star Dou Great Forest.
And this time, the one secretly following them was the High Priest—Gold Crocodile Douluo, a level 98 Super Douluo!
After all, Bibi Dong was leading the team this time. The other six High Priests were truly afraid that something unexpected might happen to Qian Renxue along the way. Qian Daoliu needed to remain in Spirit Hall, so only Gold Crocodile Douluo could go.
Moreover, he was also very interested in the young Hu Bai.
Star Dou Great Forest.
Xie Tian and the other two had searched for several more days, but the Soul Beasts they encountered were mostly unsuitable.
With a high-quality soul ring like the first one, not only Hu Bai, but Xie Tian and Hu Leyao also didn't want to settle, preferring to spend more time!
Their target for this search was elemental Soul Beasts between two thousand and three thousand years old. The higher the elemental purity, the better.
Although the ten-thousand-year Three-Eyed Demon Fox's vertical pupil external Soul Bone primarily enhanced Hu Bai's mental power, it also brought a considerable increase to his Physique.
Originally, after the first soul ring's enhancement, the Soul Beast he could absorb for his second soul ring was a thousand-year one. Now, with the Soul Bone's boost, absorbing a two-thousand-year-old Soul Beast was a piece of cake.
Of course, if they chose a more common Soul Beast, a three-thousand-year-old one might not be impossible, but as they said, they preferred the soul ring's age to be a bit lower and the elements to be purer.
Hu Bai thought to himself, if he could encounter a Soul Beast with an Extreme attribute, that would be even better. But how could it be so easy? Among those Super Soul Beasts, there weren't many with Extreme attributes.
And this brings up the Ice Jade Scorpion tribe in the Extreme North. Not only does the Ice Empress possess Extreme Ice, but even ordinary Ice Jade Scorpions have the Extreme Ice attribute. When there's an opportunity, he must go there. An Ice Jade Scorpion soul ring would be ideal for controlling ice elements!
(T/N: Ordinary Ice Jade Scorpion cannot have extreme attributes. According to what I knew, 1 to 9999 year Ice Jade Scorpions have a little stronger ice attribute. 10000 to 99999 year Ice Jade Scorpions have quasi extreme ice attribute, and only 100000 year Ice Jade Scorpions have extreme ice attribute.)
It was a pity he didn't know the Spirit Soul Contracting method; otherwise, trying to contract with the Ice Empress wouldn't seem impossible.
After all, the Ice Empress would face the danger of the four-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation after ten thousand years, which she would not be able to overcome.
And although he couldn't determine whether he could become a god in the future, Spirit Hall had already confirmed a person who would become a god—the future Qian Renxue!
His relationship with Qian Renxue was also good. A first-level god could bring one person to the God Realm in the future.
Of course, to be honest, he still wanted to become a god on his own; otherwise, there would be suspicion of using Qian Renxue. Moreover, just bringing one person to the God Realm wasn't enough—he also wanted to bring his parents and siblings.
His Martial Soul, the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, wasn't suitable for God Positions like Asura God or Sea God. If he could create his own God Position, that would be even better!
But these were all future matters. It was useless to think so much now. It was better to look for a suitable Soul Beast.
Another day passed. At a certain location in the Star Dou Great Forest, Hu Leyao waved her hand, signaling the two to stop.
"About a hundred meters ahead, there's a three-thousand-year-old light-attributed Soul Beast—a Light Unicorn!" Hu Leyao's voice carried a hint of excitement.
The Light Unicorn was not unfamiliar to the three of them because one of the soul rings of the Qian family's Angel Martial Soul was obtained from absorbing a soul ring produced by a Light Unicorn!
Although the Light Unicorn's light attribute was not particularly extreme, it was considered a top-tier existence among light-attribute Soul Beasts!
After spending so many days, they finally found a second suitable one!
"Son, this Light Unicorn is more suitable for you than a wood-attributed Soul Beast. The light attribute also has healing effects, and the Qian family is best at light attribute Soul Skills. Aren't you very familiar with that Young Miss? When you gain control over the light element, you can learn more from her."
Xie Tian chuckled. They had only learned about Qian Renxue's existence two years ago. She was the child of Supreme Pontiff Qian Xunji. What happened in between—they were not qualified to know.
For these two years, Qian Renxue had gotten along well with their children, especially Hu Bai. However, they couldn't call her Xiaoxue; they could only call her Young Miss!
Hu Bai was naturally not unfamiliar with the Light Unicorn. He wondered if he could obtain a Soul Bone again this time.
If his Martial Soul truly possessed luck, then perhaps a miracle would occur!
However, the probability of a thousand-year Soul Beast producing a Soul Bone was already very low. Even for a Light Unicorn, which had a very rare Bloodline, it would probably only slightly increase the chances.
"Dad, then I'll leave my second soul ring to you." Hu Bai's still baby-faced countenance revealed a 'beautiful' smile.
He had now grasped his old father's weakness: he loved to show off in front of his son. So, he naturally had to satisfy him well.
Seeing his youngest son smile at him, Xie Tian was instantly filled with vigor!
Hu Bai indeed couldn't defeat a Soul Beast around three thousand years old. His old father naturally had to act!
Hu Bai was a bit helpless inside. If he could, he would like to try his abilities, but with his current cultivation, defeating a three-thousand-year-old Soul Beast was still very difficult.
He could only let Xie Tian wear it down first.
Xie Tian's Moon Blades appeared in his hands. He struck a very handsome pose, and his soul ring slowly flickered into existence, instantly disappearing from his original spot.
Within a few seconds, he appeared in front of the Light Unicorn. The Light Unicorn sensed danger and instinctively flapped the light wings on its back, wanting to escape.
"Want to run? Too late!"
"First Soul Skill—Slash!"
Xie Tian flung his Moon Blade directly at the Light Unicorn, and his figure did not slow down, continuing to charge forward.
In an instant, the Light Unicorn was struck, letting out a tragic cry.
