Chapter 285: Re-entering the Star Dou Great Forest

A few more days passed.

Lan Xue took Nan Feihuang and traveled quickly, setting off toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

The speed of a Title Douluo was astonishing; it did not take long for the two of them to arrive at the middle-to-rear region of the forest.

After all, given Nan Feihuang's current physique, his sixth ring for the Fangtian Halberd, even if not at the Ten-Thousand-Year Level, had to be at least fifty or sixty thousand years or higher; the Spirit Beasts in the outer perimeter could no longer satisfy his needs.

"Huang'er, do you know where that Titan is?" Lan Xue asked.

"I do, but Mother, we actually don't need to go out of our way to find it. That Titan and the Titan Giant Ape share a deep bond; these past few years, it must have been working hard to find the culprit. After that little rabbit returned, the two of them shared information, and I must be one of the suspects. Therefore, I don't need to find it; it will take the initiative to find me," Nan Feihuang said. "We can just head inward while searching for a suitable Spirit Beast for me."

Lan Xue nodded. This was for the best; searching for people was the most troublesome thing, so letting it seek them out was naturally convenient.

In fact, not long after the two stepped into the forest, two little rabbits hidden in the shadows discovered them. Furthermore, they reported back to the Titan and Xiao Wu at an extremely fast speed.

Just as the Blue Silver Emperor could command all the Blue Silver Grass on the continent, Xiao Wu, having reached one hundred thousand years, was likewise the queen of all Soft Bone Rabbits.

This was an order Xiao Wu had issued a year ago; she had roughly described Nan Feihuang's appearance to her subordinates and instructed them that as soon as Nan Feihuang appeared, they were to come and notify her immediately.

"Nan Feihuang, he actually came so quickly!" Xiao Wu and the Titan were both very surprised.

Nan Feihuang coming to the Star Dou Great Forest meant that he had already broken through to a Sixtieth Level Soul Emperor, yet clearly, at the Soul Master Tournament over a year ago, he had only been around the fifty-second or fifty-third level.

In a short year, he had gone from a low-level Soul King to a Soul Emperor.

Is this guy really human? Even for a Spirit Beast that had transformed and started cultivating again, the cultivation speed couldn't possibly be this fast.

"It must be the younger brother's Spirit Ring helping him," the Titan said. "At that time, that kid was merely a Soul Elder; it was impossible for him to absorb the Second Brother's Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring. I fear it was some kind of sealing skill that locked away most of the Second Brother's Spirit Ring's power. As his cultivation improved, that Spirit Ring gradually unsealed, and the soul power contained within fed back into his body, which drove the rapid growth of his soul power."

Although the Titan's guess was not entirely correct, it could not be denied that Nan Feihuang's soul power growth over this past year was indeed inseparable from the reason it mentioned.

The Titan Giant Ape's Spirit Ring had indeed given him no small amount of help.

"No matter what, we must go meet him and confront him face-to-face. It would be best if we could subdue him through a fight first so that he wouldn't dare to lie," Xiao Wu said in a deep voice.

She still hoped there was a turning point; after all, if it were once confirmed that Er Ming was forced to Sacrifice by Tang Hao, wouldn't she and Tang San become enemies?

"Sister Xiao Wu, I understand. However, this time, let me go alone. You stay here. There seems to be a Title Douluo guarding by that Nan Feihuang's side. If she were to make a move against you, I would have to divide my attention to protect you, and I would be unable to fight with my full strength," the Titan said.

After Xiao Wu transformed, her power had only recovered to the Soul Ancestor level. If she appeared before a Title Douluo before reaching adulthood, she would be a ready-made delicacy—a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and soul bone for the taking. No Title Douluo would be unmoved.

"Alright, then you must be careful, Daming!" Xiao Wu was usually willful, but she was not an idiot; she knew that at a time like this, she must at least not become a burden to her brother.

It was better to stay here obediently and wait for Daming to return.

Nan Feihuang and Lan Xue had now stepped into the deep regions of the Star Dou Great Forest. From here on, Spirit Beasts of twenty or thirty thousand years or more would appear frequently.

Although Nan Feihuang was interested in the Titan's Spirit Ring, that was intended for the Dunjia Heavenly Book. For this sixth ring of the Fangtian Halberd, he might as well hunt a suitable Spirit Beast first.

"Huang'er, what kind of sixth soul skill do you want?" Lan Xue asked. She knew her son always had his own development plan, so she would not give random advice but leave it to Feihuang to decide for himself.

"Ice attribute, fire attribute, or a non-attribute Spirit Beast with higher attack power—any will do!" Nan Feihuang thought for a moment; he was not hung up on any specific soul skill.

What was important was that the Spirit Beast's attack power had to be high; only then would it fit the Fangtian Halberd martial soul.

Furthermore, he could not be like Lan Xue back then, absorbing a mess of earth-attribute, wind-attribute, and lightning-attribute Spirit Beasts, which made her original Extreme Ice extremely impure and nearly ruined it.

Ever since consuming the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb, Nan Feihuang's physique had reached the state of Ice and Fire Same Origin.

Whether absorbing an ice-attribute or fire-attribute, it would not cause the slightest interference to the power within his body, and as for non-attribute Spirit Beasts, there was even less need to worry.

"Hmm, actually, these three types of Spirit Beasts are quite easy to find. By the way, Mother remembers that nearby there is an Ice Lake. It is frozen year-round and is a place where many ice-attribute Spirit Beasts live. Let's go over there and take a look," Lan Xue suggested.

Nan Feihuang nodded. "Alright, Mother, then I will listen to you."

Lan Xue was, after all, a frequent visitor to this Star Dou Great Forest; when it came to knowing this place better, it was still her.

It was just that one thing left Nan Feihuang speechless: since she knew there was an Ice Lake in the Star Dou Great Forest, why didn't she just keep hunting Spirit Beasts there back then?

If that were the case, her Extreme Ice would not have been hidden, and she would never have lost to Tang Hao.

As expected, in this current era, the martial soul cultivation system was not yet that perfect, and the research into attribute power was simply insufficient.

If Nan Feihuang were to unify the continent in the future, he must build a large academy at the center of the continent, hire the most brilliant teachers, and build the best teaching environment, just like Shrek in later generations. Although Shrek's various teaching philosophies were not that great, over the ten thousand years of later generations, they still made contributions to the Douluo Continent.

And Nan Feihuang planned to build a better one, teaching both morality and talent.

In this way, there would no longer be mistakes like Lan Xue's previous absorption of Spirit Rings.

But these were matters for later; the urgent priority now was to increase his own strength. Only with strength could he fulfill his dreams.

Lan Xue brought Feihuang to a world of ice and snow; the temperature here was likely the lowest in the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

As for why such an environment formed, Nan Feihuang guessed that it was highly probable that several ice-attribute Spirit Beasts of very high age lived here, at least seventy or eighty thousand years or so.

Nan Feihuang looked over and saw several very common ice-attribute Spirit Beasts: Drifting Snowflakes, Frozen Bears, Snow Velvet Butterflies, and so on.

It was a pity that the ages of these guys were all too low; the highest was only twenty-something thousand years, which still did not meet Nan Feihuang's requirements.
