Chapter 138: Meeting on a Narrow Path, Eyes Red with Jealousy

Thanks to the good environment within the team, everyone did not fight tooth and nail over the soul bone.

In the end, only Huo Wushuang did not receive a soul bone.

"Senior Dugu said that among the rewards for the Spirit Master Tournament, there is a fire-attribute soul bone. Compared to a soul bone of unknown attribute, I would rather have one that matches my attribute."

"When the time comes, you all better not fight me for it."

Everyone laughed, "Wushuang, you have truly placed your fate in our hands."

Huo Wushuang naturally was not worried.

He had seen Wu Qi's leadership ability with his own eyes; the atmosphere within the team was so good that even if they failed to win the championship at the tournament, he would be content just having such good teammates.

Dugu Bo laughed heartily: "Seeing you little fellows, this old man feels as if he has recalled the glorious years of fifty years ago."

If he had had such teammates back then, how could he have been plagued by toxins for most of his life?

For a moment, he actually felt a bit envious.

"Alright, you all absorb the soul bones, this old man will stand guard for you."

Wu Qi did not know if a damaged 100,000-year soul bone could provide two soul skills, but regardless, there was absolutely no reason to miss out on such a high-quality soul bone.

One day later, everyone had finished absorbing their soul bones, and their soul power levels had risen accordingly.

To his pleasant surprise, Wu Qi's head soul bone provided two active soul skills and one passive soul skill.

"The Illusion Space soul skill counts as a domain-type soul skill; when enemies are within it, they will enter the illusion I weave and find it difficult to break free."

"The Spirit Sharing soul skill is similar to mental sharing, but it can not only share my perspective but also share my mental power; it counts as an auxiliary-type soul skill."

There was also a passive soul skill: Spirit Immunity.

For anyone whose mental power did not exceed Wu Qi's, all their mental attacks against him would be ineffective.

Do not forget, Wu Qi had absorbed the Wangchuan Qiushui Dew and received the amplification of a 100,000-year soul bone; now, his mental power was definitely not inferior to that of a Soul Saint powerhouse.

Feng Xiaotian touched his chin, "With such perverted soul skills, if we use them in the Spirit Master Tournament, we will definitely have a massive lead."

"But the Spirit Master Tournament is a competition watched by the entire continent; Captain, for the sake of your personal safety, you absolutely must not use the soul bone."

A 50,000-year soul bone could make Title Douluo fight tooth and nail; once news of a 100,000-year head soul bone leaked, even a Super Douluo would likely go crazy for it.

Wu Qi nodded, while also regretting, "This soul bone is quite heavily damaged; I fear it will take a very long time to fully restore it."

Absorbing a soul bone itself also provides soul power; during the nourishing process, as the soul bone's integrity increases, it will also passively raise one's soul power level.

Therefore, if the restoration time is fast enough, one's strength will certainly grow much faster than through normal cultivation.

As of now, Wu Qi's strength had reached Level Forty-Six, and with less than a year left until the Spirit Master Tournament, there was every hope of breaking through to become a Soul King.

"Um, may I say something?" Qiangu Changkong said weakly.

"I have broken through to Level Forty; who can help me hunt for a soul ring?"

Originally, he had been just one step away from Level Forty; after absorbing the soul bone, he had replenished the final bit of soul power and successfully broken through.

Everyone laughed, "We are all teammates, saying that makes it seem like we are strangers. When we pass by the Sunset Forest, we will help you."

Time flew by, and a month had passed.

Inside the Sunset Forest.

Following Yu Tianheng's breakthrough to Level Forty three months ago, Dai Mubai had also broken through.

The Shrek Seven Devils, along with the Golden Iron Triangle, had come together to hunt for souls.

Tang San suddenly thought of something and said: "Teacher, in a primitive environment like the Soul Beast Forest, it is also possible for Immortal Herbs to appear. We can search carefully while we are on the road."

For the past half year, Yu Xiaogang had been thinking about Immortal Herbs every day; he had become obsessed.

Tang San also did not know where there were Immortal Herbs, but after organizing the Xuantian Treasure Record during this period, he had made the aforementioned remark.

"Really?" Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed.

Flender and Liu Erlong were also genuinely happy for Yu Xiaogang.

"Xiaogang, rest assured, Erlong and I will keep an eye out along the way," Flender said, patting his chest.

Tang San did not have the heart to pour cold water on them.

If Immortal Herbs were so easy to find, a large number of Spirit Masters would likely swarm into the forest to search for them.

Moreover, many medicinal herbs with spiritual properties were guarded by powerful Soul Beasts nearby; they were not so easy to seize.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

With Dugu Bo's guidance, after Wu Qi and the others entered the forest, they quickly found a fourth soul ring for Qiangu Changkong.

It is worth mentioning that, thanks to the amplification of the soul bone and Immortal Herbs, his fourth soul ring was also absorbed beyond the age limit.

Although not as exaggerated as Wu Qi's, a 6,000-year fourth ring was already a rare existence.

On the way out of the forest, they happened to run into the group from Shrek Academy entering the forest.

Wu Qi casually greeted them, but received only glares from the Shrek group.

Qiangu Changkong frowned, "What are they going crazy for? What kind of look is that?"

Yu Xiaogang sneered, "A bunch of selfish people!"

"What the hell are you saying!" Qiangu Changkong had absolutely no good feelings for Yu Xiaogang and retorted angrily.

Although Dugu Bo was not walking with them, he had not gone far.

Did this bunch from Shrek Academy really not know the immensity of heaven and earth?

The expected battle did not occur; instead, Yu Xiaogang started a verbal confrontation, "Heh, was I wrong?"

"Immortal Herbs are the common property of the Soul Master World, yet you have occupied them for yourselves. What, do you think we are all blind and don't know?"

Tang San frowned, standing behind Yu Xiaogang, "You are indeed unkind. Back then, when I had good things, I thought of you, but you turned me away. Is this what you call friends?"

Wu Qi sneered in his heart.

He had never considered the Shrek Seven Devils as friends; Tang San gifting Hidden Weapons was merely a way to repay a favor.

They didn't owe Tang San any favors, so why should they give Tang San everything good they had?

Furthermore, when they helped Tang San hunt for a soul, what was the latter's situation?

This kindness was no different from saving a life; is this how Tang San repays his benefactors?

It is just like a passerby being near death from thirst in a desert, and another passerby kindly giving him a bottle of water. After returning to the city, the first passerby buys a bottle of water to return to the second, claiming the favor is repaid.

Materially, the first passerby indeed owes nothing, but can things be calculated this way?

Fortunately, Wu Qi had never cared about Tang San, nor did he want any association with him, so he was not disgusted by this matter.

As for Yu Xiaogang, Wu Qi was speechless.

If he guessed that he had an Immortal Herb in his hands, Yu Xiaogang could have led people over to snatch it!

After all, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak; if Wu Qi could not protect the Immortal Herb, he naturally would have no complaints.

But what did Yu Xiaogang do?

Did he think he could force him to hand over the Immortal Herb by using moral condemnation?

Heh, the item was in Wu Qi's hands, and he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to such remarks.

Seeing the members of the Seven Treasures Team wanting to curse, he waved his hand, "What is there to argue about with trash? Let's go, don't delay our cultivation."

Dai Mubai and Yu Tianheng still wanted to block them, but were easily pushed aside by Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang.
