Chapter 328 Hidden Thoughts About Ye Lingling
Although I'm feeling really upset and in a bad mood.
But Liu Erlong did not seem discouraged or dejected.
After obtaining the soul rings for Ye Lingling.
In the subsequent search for a spirit beast to serve as her eighth spirit ring, Liu Erlong became even more enthusiastic and proactive.
Originally, she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to hunt for spirit rings to spend more time with Ye Qifeng and relive the warmth and subtle feelings they had when they were in Sunset Forest.
But that's obviously not possible now.
Because Ye Lingling was now by his side.
Most importantly, she developed a desire to possess Ye Qifeng.
At first, Ye Lingling's behavior was normal, but as time went on, her gaze towards Ye Qifeng gradually became more obvious and blatant.
Even Ye Lingling's position changed.
Originally, there was Liu Erlong between her and Ye Qifeng.
Not long after, she abandoned Liu Erlong and stood on the other side of Ye Qifeng, slowly moving closer to him until she was almost pressed against him.
Despite trying not to think about it, I couldn't help but see Ye Lingling's tender and affectionate gaze towards Ye Qifeng, her eyes practically overflowing with love.
Liu Erlong couldn't take it anymore.
In any case, she couldn't pretend she didn't see it.
At times like this, Liu Erlong's heart felt heavy and chaotic, and she couldn't calm down at all.
Therefore, the only option is to find a way to end this journey of hunting for soul rings as soon as possible, leave Sunset Forest, return to Heaven Dou City as soon as possible, and keep Ye Lingling away from Ye Qifeng.
Once we return to Tiandou City and Lanba Academy, Lingling, you brat, you can't possibly still have the nerve to stay by Xiaofeng's side, can you?
Shouldn't I go back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to study?
At that time, it will just be me and Xiaofeng in the forest cabin, hmm.
Liu Erlong hummed to himself.
Therefore, in the following period of time, Liu Erlong's interest in finding soul beasts soared, and her enthusiasm increased significantly.
For the sake of Ye Lingling, who was the weakest among them, with only level 38 Soul Power Soul Master and was also a support-type healing Soul Master.
Whenever Ye Qifeng suggested finding a place to rest, Liu Erlong refused.
This left Ye Qifeng bewildered and somewhat amused, but he didn't think much of it, assuming that she wanted to find a suitable soul beast as soon as possible, hunt it down, absorb its soul ring, and break through to the Soul Douluo realm.
Because of Ye Qifeng, Liu Erlong has never stopped cultivating since recovering from her serious injuries.
In addition, Ye Qifeng later moved into the house.
In their daily interactions, Liu Erlong felt a warmth and care from Ye Qifeng that she hadn't felt in years, and gradually developed feelings for him. As a result, her inner turmoil and obsession slowly disappeared.
No longer clinging to the pain of the past, Liu Erlong gradually rediscovered her original aspirations. With the presence of Ye Qifeng, her cultivation speed greatly accelerated, and she rediscovered her love for cultivation.
Now, having consumed the celestial herb Crimson Fire Dragon Mushroom, his talent and aptitude have been enhanced, his Fire Dragon Martial Soul and physique have been strengthened, the Yin Fire attribute attached to his Martial Soul has also been enhanced and is easier to control, and his Soul Power has directly risen to level eighty.
The Liu Erlong of today is a completely different person from the one of the past.
Unlike his original fate, when his deep-seated inner conflicts and obsessions led to laziness in cultivation, resulting in slow growth of his soul power and stagnation at the Soul Saint realm with only a little over seventy levels of soul power, he was no longer destined to progress.
Now, whenever she has free time, she will diligently cultivate to increase her soul power.
After all, she didn't want to disappoint Ye Qifeng, nor did she want to fall too far behind him in the future.
Especially after seeing Ye Qifeng's spirit rings and knowing his terrifying talent, Liu Erlong dared not slack off anymore.
She was also afraid that if she didn't cultivate properly, she would only drift further and further away from Ye Qifeng in the future, and might not even be able to see his back anymore.
Liu Erlong was unwilling to rest, so Ye Qifeng had no choice but to follow her and continue on their journey while searching for soul beasts.
This made things a bit tough for Ye Lingling.
In particular, Liu Erlong deliberately sped up, causing Ye Lingling's soul power to be quickly exhausted. She was so tired that she no longer had the energy to pay attention to Ye Qifeng.
Seeing this, a glint of light flashed in Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes, and she suddenly thought of a good idea.
And so he began to enjoy it immensely.
Whenever Ye Lingling's soul power recovers, Liu Erlong would intentionally or unintentionally lead the group to speed up, completely consuming the little bit of soul power that Ye Lingling had just recovered.
Ye Lingling had no idea that this was her beloved Aunt Erlong targeting her.
She didn't want to lose face in front of Ye Qifeng and make him feel weak.
Despite being exhausted, Ye Lingling gritted her teeth and persevered, trying to keep up with the others.
Only when they can no longer hold on will they use the little soul power they have left to give themselves a healing soul beam to relieve their physical fatigue.
Ye Lingling's persistence paid off.
Although she remained silent and didn't say a word, she still caught Ye Qifeng's attention.
Ye Qifeng's senses were extremely sharp. With a casual sweep of his mental energy, he sensed that Ye Lingling's soul power was almost completely depleted.
He tilted his head slightly and looked to the side.
Soon, it was noticed that fine beads of sweat had appeared on Ye Lingling's smooth forehead, and her breathing was rapid and unsteady, clearly indicating that she was nearing her limit.
But she persisted without saying a word, her beautiful blue eyes filled with stubbornness, trying her best not to fall behind and to keep up with the speed of Ye Qifeng and the other two, running and leaping through the lush and complex jungle.
Seeing Ye Lingling like this, Ye Qifeng looked at her with new respect and even more admiration.
After a moment's hesitation, Ye Qifeng shifted his gaze to the ghostly figure that was two body lengths behind, flying effortlessly in mid-air.
The ghost understood immediately and separated a wisp of its soul power to lift Ye Lingling up, suspending her in mid-air, and flying with her.
Suddenly lifted up by ghostly soul power, Ye Lingling floated into the air. She didn't cry out in surprise, but felt a sense of relief. Then her body went limp and she slumped onto the dark soul power that had condensed into a cloud-like shape and was as solid as a substance.
"Thank you so much, senior!"
After her rapid breathing calmed down a bit, Ye Lingling weakly thanked the ghost.
"It's alright!"
The ghost spoke succinctly, waving his hand casually.
"Lingling, let's recover your soul power first. Elder Ghost will take you flying next, so you don't need to worry."
At this moment, Ye Qifeng's gentle and refined voice reached Ye Lingling's small and delicate ears.
Although she was exhausted and had little strength left, even lifting her eyes was difficult, Ye Lingling immediately perked up upon hearing Ye Qifeng's words. Her rosy lips, hidden beneath the black veil, uttered a single word in response:
"good!"
Immediately afterwards, Ye Lingling sat cross-legged in the void and began to meditate and cultivate to restore her soul power.
Beside Ye Qifeng, Liu Erlong, who had been watching this scene closely, secretly curled her lips, feeling a pang of jealousy, and her eyes couldn't help but show a subtle expression.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Anyway, she has achieved her goal.
Lingling's soul power was completely exhausted, and her body was also completely drained. Next, she would need to spend time meditating to recover her soul power, and she no longer had the energy to pay attention to Xiaofeng.
To be honest, it was her fault; she secretly used underhanded tactics to target Lingling.
However, this was just her little secret, so how could she possibly say it out loud?
Xiao Feng must not know about this, otherwise how can I face him in the future?
If he misunderstands me as a woman who likes to play tricks, that would be bad. I can't let him lose points in his impression of me.
Liu Erlong thought to himself silently.
The matter concerning Ye Lingling was just a minor episode.
The group of four did not stop. As they spoke, they had already traveled a long distance into the depths of the Sunset Forest.
The ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts of Sunset Forest almost all gather in the deep areas of the forest. Only occasionally will one or two emerge from the depths and come to the central or outer areas for some special reason.
But the chances of this happening are extremely small.
Next, Ye Qifeng and Liu Erlong continued to run and jump between the ground and the giant trees to make their way.
Meanwhile, the ghost carried Ye Lingling as they flew through the air.
Of course, the ghost didn't always carry Ye Lingling in flight. Whenever her soul power recovered, it would put her back on the ground, allowing her to run and leap through the dense forest with Ye Qifeng and Liu Erlong.
For Ye Lingling, this can also be considered a form of cultivation, an opportunity to strengthen her physique and hone her control over her soul power.
On the third day after arriving at Sunset Forest.
After traversing an outer region nearly 600 kilometers wide and a central region over 400 kilometers wide, Ye Qifeng and his companions finally arrived at the deep region where ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts gathered.
After arriving deep into the Sunset Forest.
Liu Erlong was unusually proactive, eager to find and hunt soul beasts as soon as possible, absorb soul rings, and then return to Tiandou City to sever ties with Ye Lingling and Ye Qifeng.
But how easy is it to find a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast? Moreover, according to standard configuration, her eighth soul ring must be at least fifty thousand years old.
Moreover, Ye Qifeng didn't want Liu Erlong to absorb a soul ring with too low an age or level. How could he be presentable without a soul ring that was at least 70,000 or 80,000 years old?
After all, he was someone who had taken rare medicinal herbs. Would it be reasonable if he hadn't lived a long time?
Although soul beasts with an age of over 50,000 years are hard to find.
But fortunately.
Ye Qifeng and Gui Mei had spent some time deep in the Sunset Forest, so they roughly knew where there were suitable soul beasts for Liu Erlong's eighth soul ring.
Soul beasts, as special creatures capable of cultivation, are highly intelligent and generally possess a strong sense of territory.
Especially for soul beasts that are over ten thousand years old, their intelligence has been awakened and they possess a certain level of wisdom. Their strength has already reached a high level, equivalent to the Soul King to Soul Douluo realm among human soul masters.
With their remarkable intelligence and powerful strength, soul beasts that are over ten thousand years old often have their own exclusive territories, and some even live in large groups.
These spirit beasts, except when foraging for food or for certain special reasons, may temporarily leave or abandon their territory, but normally they rarely leave their territory.
The unique habits of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts actually provided convenience for Ye Qifeng and Gui Mei.
Based on the distribution of soul beasts remembered in the brain.
Led by Gui Mei and Ye Qifeng, on the fifth day, the group finally found a soul beast that was extremely compatible with Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon Martial Soul.
That was a dragon-type soul beast with an age of over 80,000 but under 90,000 years, the Crimson Fire Dragon.
As its name suggests, the Crimson Fire Dragon is a fire-attribute dragon-type soul beast. Judging from its age, its strength has reached the intermediate level of Soul Douluo.
Upon finding the Crimson Fire Dragon, Ghost did not immediately make a move, but instead chose to stand by and watch from the sidelines.
Then, Liu Erlong, Ye Qifeng, and Ye Lingling were tasked with hunting them together.
Of the three, Liu Erlong was in charge of the main attack, Ye Qifeng was in charge of support, and Ye Lingling was in charge of assistance.
Although Liu Erlong's soul power has broken through level 80, she is still at the Soul Saint realm because she has not yet absorbed her eighth soul ring. However, with the amplification from the immortal herb Crimson Fire Dragon Mushroom, her strength should not be underestimated.
Aside from lacking an eighth soul skill, her strength is comparable to that of a Soul Master at the beginner Soul Douluo level.
In addition, the Yin Fire attached to the Fire Dragon Martial Soul has reached its peak, which can restrain the fire attribute of the Crimson Fire Dragon and can contend with it for a short period of time.
Although Ye Qifeng is currently only at the Soul King level of level 55, he possesses many powerful abilities that do not belong to this continent, giving him a combat prowess comparable to that of a Soul Saint.
Providing some support to Liu Erlong, harassing and interrupting the Crimson Fire Dragon's attacks, is still within our capabilities.
In addition, Ye Lingling's Jade Heart Begonia Martial Soul possesses powerful healing and soul power restoration abilities, as well as the innate Jade Heart Domain, which amplifies the attack power of both allies and enemies by 10%.
With the assistance of three powerful abilities.
Liu Erlong, Ye Qifeng, and the other two worked together seamlessly, spending nearly an hour before finally wearing down the Crimson Fire Dragon, just as they were about to collapse from exhaustion.
Finally, Liu Erlong delivered the finishing blow.
Because the spirit ring will remain in the air for one hour.
Therefore, Liu Erlong did not immediately absorb the soul ring born from the Crimson Fire Dragon.
Instead, one should first sit cross-legged on the ground, meditate to restore soul power, and at the same time, allow the spirit to reach a full state.
Immediately afterwards, he received a healing soul light from Ye Lingling, which adjusted his body to its optimal state before drawing the soul ring to his Crimson Fire Martial Soul and beginning to absorb it.
Then.
Under Ye Lingling's surprised gaze.
Ye Qifeng showed her how he had helped her absorb the celestial herbs and soul rings.
He effortlessly approached Liu Erlong from behind, placed his hands directly on her soft and sexy back, and then injected the power gathered by the Two Elements Heavenly Technique into her body to help her accelerate the refining speed of her soul ring.
Because Liu Erlong was absorbing a soul ring with an age of over 80,000 years, even with Ye Qifeng's help to speed things up, it still took almost half a day.
As expected, Liu Erlong's absorption of her eighth spirit ring, apart from taking a long time, was similar to Ye Lingling's absorption of her third spirit ring—both were smooth and uneventful.
It is worth mentioning that.
After absorbing the spirit ring, Liu Erlong achieved her goal and broke through to the Soul Douluo realm, gaining a powerful eighth spirit skill.
At the same time, her soul power level increased directly to level eighty-three.
of course.
This is the increase in level three soul power.
One of the levels is obtained naturally by absorbing the eighth spirit ring.
The other two levels were due to the increase in soul power from consuming the celestial herb Crimson Fire Dragon Mushroom, but this was not manifested at the time because the bottleneck of level 80 had been reached.
Now that Liu Erlong has absorbed her eighth spirit ring and successfully broken through to the Soul Douluo realm, these two levels of spirit power are naturally manifesting once again.
