Chapter 214 Ye Guyi, Starving and Desperate, Sixth Ring.
Wu Xuan, listening to the gossip around him on the South City Commercial Street, smirked with smug satisfaction. Someone from the Thief Xi Shui Alliance was taking the blame for him, and now, someone else was taking the blame for emptying the Mingde Hall's underground warehouse.
Appearing and disappearing without a trace, he was practically the reincarnation of the legendary Thief Saint. Even Xiao, who stole small things with wind-elemental armor in his previous life, wasn't worthy to offer him a cigarette.
In the following days, as the news spread wider, the continent was shaken. The three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent were all overjoyed. Although they didn't know the extent of Mingde Hall's losses, for them, this was definitely a good thing!
Of course, that's a story for later.
Back at the hotel, before even returning to his room to rest, Wu Xuan's senses detected something amiss. "Huh! Where's Ye Guyi, that little follower? Wasn't she supposed to be cultivating properly at the hotel?" Wu Xuan wondered.
Wu Xuan waited from dusk till late at night, and from late at night till dawn. Finally, just as the sun was about to rise high in the sky, Ye Guyi hummed a little tune and leisurely strolled into the hotel. Wu Xuan, sensing her presence, immediately opened the door and scolded, "Didn't I tell you to stay at the hotel and cultivate? Where have you been again?"
Today, Ye Guyi was wearing a white and gold outfit that perfectly accentuated her slender figure. Her fair skin and long, radiant golden hair shone brightly, making her pretty face even more translucent.
"Phew~! Idol, you scared me to death!" Ye Guyi patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You still haven't answered my question?" Wu Xuan asked scrutinizingly.
"Cultivation is so slow! It's much faster for me to go and train with those two evil soul masters!" Ye Guyi chuckled sheepishly.
"So you went to kill evil spirit masters again?" Wu Xuan was speechless for a moment.
"Of course, idol, you don't know how many evil spirit masters have been running rampant outside Mingdu City lately. It's making this Holy Angel feel uncomfortable, so I just went out of the city and easily killed more than ten of their underlings. My soul power reached level sixty and broke through to Soul Emperor in one night." Ye Guyi said with some pride.
Evil spirit masters are truly walking experience packs in front of the Holy Angel Martial Soul. You can see that when the Angel Family controlled the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, there were no evil spirit masters on the continent who dared to do evil. Even if they had evil martial souls, they could only cultivate in a proper manner.
But even with the best restraint, they could only cross thirty levels at most, that was the limit. Soul King against Title Douluo? They would only be killed.
"Sigh~! Miss Ye, you are really stubborn. If you encounter a Title Douluo, do you think you can come back safely?" Wu Xuan was somewhat impressed by Ye Guyi's bravery. To put it bluntly, this Holy Angel was starving.
"Alright, alright, stop lecturing! Idol, take me to hunt for my sixth soul ring! I need a 20,000-year-old fire-attribute or light-attribute soul beast for my sixth ring," Ye Guyi said, shaking Wu Xuan's arm.
"You've got a lot of requirements. I'm not familiar with the area around Mingdu," Wu Xuan chuckled.
"Idol, you don't need to worry about that. I know a place where I'm sure I can find a suitable soul beast," Ye Guyi said confidently.
"Okay! Let's go then, and come back as soon as possible." Wu Xuan nodded. Anyway, there was still plenty of time before his appointment with Ilex, so helping Ye Guyi hunt for a soul ring was definitely feasible.
After leaving Mingdu, the two immediately equipped themselves with the new model of flying soul tools unique to Mingdu. It has to be said that the flying soul tools in Mingdu were much more advanced than those equipped at Shrek Academy.
A pair of folded wings unfolded on their backs, and as their toes touched the ground, four blue tail flames shot out from behind the wings, propelling their bodies into the air.
"Idol, the Jingyang Mountains we're going to this time are about a thousand miles away from Mingdu," Ye Guyi said.
"I seem to remember the Jingyang Mountains. It's the third largest gathering place for soul beasts in the Sun Moon Empire, isn't it?" Wu Xuan pondered.
"Yes, besides being a large gathering place for soul beasts, the Jingyang Mountains are also the richest area in mineral resources. You basically won't see any normal soul beasts like those in ordinary forests there; the soul beasts there are all strangely shaped mutated soul beasts," Ye Guyi explained.
"Okay, let's go all out and show you the speed of my wind elemental martial soul." A gentle breeze stirred in Wu Xuan's palm, and his second, jet-black soul ring lit up.
Ye Guyi looked at the black soul rings that had lit up around Wu Xuan. Although she had prepared herself mentally, what followed still made her scream—the speed was simply too fast.
Only about two hours later, a peculiar sight appeared, its overall shape resembling a giant spider. This giant spider occupied a vast central area, with eight legs extending in different directions; only upon closer inspection could one see that these were eight branches.
"Ugh!" As soon as they landed, Ye Guyi hugged a tree and started retching uncontrollably. The contrast made Wu Xuan chuckle.
"Wu Xuan! What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Humph! It's all your fault, why were you flying so fast?" Ye Guyi glared at Wu Xuan in dissatisfaction.
"Alright, alright, I won't laugh anymore. You really hurt my feelings. I brought you here to hunt for spirit rings, and you're calling out your idol's name." Wu Xuan pouted.
"Idol! Okay, let's go!" Ye Guyi shouted as if calling for her soul.
"Let's go, let's go! That was really creepy!" Wu Xuan waved, signaling Ye Guyi to hurry up and catch up.
Ye Guyi smiled slightly at Wu Xuan's back and quickly jogged to catch up.
With Wu Xuan, an ultimate attribute spirit emperor, leading the way, their aura perception spread out, and the two headed straight for the main peak of the Jingyang Mountains. A sixth spirit ring of about 20,000 years old, finding one in a branch vein was almost like finding a needle in a haystack.
In less than an hour, the two successfully arrived at the foot of the main peak of the Jingyang Mountains.
"Strange! How come we haven't seen a single soul beast along the way? Are they all fast asleep?" Recalling their encounters along the way, Ye Guyi couldn't help but ask a profound question.
Wu Xuan just smiled and didn't reply. It would be a miracle if they encountered any soul beasts with his deliberate avoidance.
This time, before the two could get any closer to Jingyang Peak, several strange fluctuations suddenly made Wu Xuan stop.
Just as Ye Guyi was about to ask, Wu Xuan looked up at the jungle on his right. "Something's coming, and more than one!"
As if in response to Wu Xuan's words, a wolf-shaped soul beast about three meters long suddenly emerged, its eyes warily fixed on Wu Xuan and Ye Guyi, emitting low "woofing" sounds, as if it were showing off.
This was the first time Wu Xuan had ever seen a wolf-shaped soul beast. Its entire body was silver-white, and its fur was like metal, reflecting a very strong light. Under the sunlight, it seemed as if it itself was glowing.
