Chapter 176: This is different from what you said before!
"Alright, since that's the case, let's withdraw from this area first and return to the outer perimeter to rest for a few days. Then we can properly discuss how to capture that Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger!" Qingluan Douluo suggested earnestly.
They had been traveling in this area for quite some time and had not had a good rest.
Now that they had achieved some results, it was natural to relax and adjust their state before making further plans.
"Bing'er, don't rush to absorb your fourth soul ring for now. During this period, settle down and thoroughly comprehend and deeply understand the skills you currently possess.
At the same time, you must focus on improving your physique. Later, your second Master and I will personally take you to the Extreme North. The environment there is special, and there will be relatively more Soul Beasts suitable for you, giving you more and better choices."
"Originally, this time I wanted to help you hunt a flying Soul Beast, but that will have to wait until next time."
Their main purpose for coming to the Star Dou Great Forest this time was to hunt a flying Soul Beast for Shui Bing'er.
After all, Shui Bing'er still hadn't acquired a flying Soul Skill, which was extremely disadvantageous in actual combat. So, this problem had to be resolved as soon as possible.
And the flying Soul Skill was actually secondary. Generally speaking, the flying Soul Skill of a flying Soul Master was not just about providing them with flight.
It also enhanced their corresponding Martial Soul attributes.
For example, Qingluan's own third Soul Skill, Wings of Qingluan, not only allowed him to fly after use but also amplified his wind attribute.
This amplification was the most crucial part!
It could elevate a Soul Master's strength by a whole level!
During these days in the Star Dou Great Forest, they also discovered that there were truly few Soul Beasts with water or ice attributes here, and even the number of flying Soul Beasts was not very large.
In that case, wanting to meet both conditions of being an ice/water attribute and a bird would require incredible luck to encounter, wouldn't it?
Don't forget, they had Hu Bai, who brought his own luck with him. Yet, they still struggled to find a suitable one during this time, which showed that there were no Soul Beasts they wanted in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"What second Master? Why can't I be the first Master?" Guanling Douluo protested.
His attribute was the same as Shui Bing'er's, allowing him to teach her more about the application of ice. Why couldn't he be the first Master?
Qingluan Douluo chuckled, "We are both ranked ninety-seven in strength. How about we fight first, and whoever wins becomes the first Master?"
Guang Ling: …
"Hmph, does this look right? Second Master, it is. Really, it's just a title. Look at you, getting all worked up."
Guang Ling said with a cold and arrogant expression, but his words were not at all forceful.
This made Hu Bai and the others struggle to suppress their laughter.
If Guang Ling could defeat Qingluan, he wouldn't just be the Fifth Elder.
Qingluan smiled, "Guangling, don't say I'm taking advantage of you. Although your attribute is a better match for Bing'er, in terms of Martial Soul form, I am the most suitable."
"Although Bing'er's Martial Soul is not wind-attributed, as long as it's a bird, who can't borrow a little wind power? If she can integrate the borrowed wind power with ice, the power of her Martial Soul will only be greater!"
This was also the inspiration Qingluan got from Hu Bai's elemental control.
Wind and ice mixed indeed had much stronger power!
Also, although Shui Bing'er and the others had obtained a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone, this did not mean their physiques had reached a level capable of withstanding a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
This was what was mentioned before—the domineering aspect of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast's sacrifice: sacrificing everything could disregard the Soul Master's level.
Their Physical fitness would increase, but within a normal range; it would be impossible to absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring for the next soul ring.
However, if it were a ten-thousand-year soul ring, that would be very easy.
Just then, Shui Bing'er weakly said, "First Master, second Master, actually, I don't think I really need a flying ice-attributed Soul Beast."
"Oh, no, I should say I don't really need a soul ring to give me a flying Soul Skill. I actually forgot to mention before that after purifying my Phoenix Bloodline through the Immortal Herb, I seem to be able to condense wings myself."
As she finished speaking, Shui Bing'er activated her soul power, and suddenly a pair of ice-blue wings appeared behind her. With a flap, Shui Bing'er floated into the air.
What the heck?
Qingluan and Guang Ling looked at Shui Bing'er with some surprise. This… was truly a unique endowment.
"Since that's the case, we will still prioritize offensive soul skills, and among them, soul skills that can enhance ice attributes are the best!"
Being able to condense wings on her own indicated that Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul quality was already very high. One must know that, in their impression, the only ones capable of doing so were the Seraphim possessed by the main lineage of the Qian family.
And their collateral branches, the Soul Masters with Angel Martial Souls in the Angel Legion, also needed flying Martial soul skills to fly!
Of course, being able to condense wings on her own was a good thing, as it freed up a soul ring slot. But its impact on the Soul Master was not actually very significant.
After all, as just mentioned, wings were secondary; the key was the amplification of the corresponding attribute while condensing the wings.
"Let's leave the forest first and stay in a small tavern outside for a few days to fully rest," Yue Guan suggested.
Then he looked at Hu Bai. "Xiao Bai, do you have any signs of breaking through to rank seventy now? If it's not too long, we could stay outside for a while, which would also count as relaxing."
Hu Bai felt his soul power. Because of the soul power vortex, his cultivation speed had increased slightly. His soul power had now reached the peak of level sixty-nine, not far from level seventy.
Moreover, he had a premonition that when he reached rank seventy and absorbed a soul ring, he might be able to take this opportunity to directly condense a Soul Core.
"In at most half a month, I should be able to break through to rank seventy!" Hu Bai gave an approximate time.
Bibi Dong heard this and said, "Then we will stay nearby first and discuss how to encircle that Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger."
"Cough cough…"
"Master, I'm afraid that won't work. My Divine Test stipulates that I must face the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger alone, which means I must kill him myself."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
"This isn't what you said before!" Bibi Dong frowned.
One of the purposes of dispatching so many Titled Douluo this time was to be prepared for any eventuality.
After all, that Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger was very strong, and even one or two ordinary Titled Douluo could potentially be defeated!
