This was not a simple matter.
The Spirit Beast that Yan needed was truly too hard to find.
In this Star Dou Great Forest, fire-attributed Spirit Beasts were too rare, so they chose to target earth-attributed Spirit Beasts instead; after all, Yan’s Spirit, Flame Lord, possessed both earth and fire attributes.
Of course, there was another crucial reason why they couldn’t find a suitable target immediately.
That was because a few years ago, Tang San had conducted a purge of the ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Sacred Golden Beetle didn’t suit his Spirit’s attributes, it might not have been Qian Yu’s turn at all; of course, it was also possible that the other party had missed it.
“Perhaps we should change our target.
I know of a place with over a dozen volcanic craters; we might be able to find a suitable spirit ring there.”
Seeing that they hadn’t found a suitable target after searching for a long time, Porcupinefish Douluo offered a suggestion.
No one had any objections to this.
Subsequently, the group changed their target and headed toward the place mentioned by Porcupinefish Douluo.
“This is…”
Not long after changing their Spirit-hunting target and while heading to the next destination, they encountered a group of people chasing a man.
“You’ve got to be kidding me.
We’re just here to hunt, and we run into trouble?
Is it really that dramatic?”
Qian Yu complained helplessly.
Immediately, under the cover of the two Titled Douluo, they concealed their figures.
Soon, they saw the full picture.
Three people were chasing a man—or, more accurately, chasing a Physical Body.
“Huyan Li!”
After seeing clearly who was being hunted, Xie Yue identified the person.
The Young Lord of the Elephant Armored Academy, and someone from the Spirit Hall camp.
The current Huyan Li was around 30 years old and was no longer a youth.
With good talent and the resources of his Sect, he possessed the cultivation of the Spirit Saint Realm.
But at this moment, he was in a sorry state.
Because among the three people chasing him, one was a Spirit Douluo, and the other two were both Spirit Saints.
Judging by their Spirits, they should be people from the Star Luo Empire.
“Huyan Li, why are you running?
We just want your Spirit Bone, not your life!”
The Spirit Douluo, whose Spirit was a Diamond Tiger, watched the frantically fleeing Huyan Li and spoke with a smile.
At this moment, in his eyes, Huyan Li was already a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
The reason was simple: not only was his strength lower than his own, but his Spirit, Diamond Mammoth, was also not suited for speed.
Where could he possibly escape to?
“Damn it!
I only have one Spirit Bone, and it’s a skull Spirit Bone.
You want my Spirit Bone?
Isn’t that just wanting my life?”
“You scum of the Star Luo Empire, you are truly shameless!”
Huyan Li cursed furiously while sprinting.
After the Spirit Empire was defeated, the Elephant Armored Academy, which had defected to them, naturally suffered unprecedented impacts.
After his grandfather died in battle, as the heir to the Elephant Armored Academy, he should have shouldered the heavy burden of the Sect.
However, various forces crazily suppressed them, and because he possessed a skull Spirit Bone, he became a target for hunting.
The strength of the enemies was definitely something he could not cope with.
The only self-rescue method Huyan Li could think of was to enter the Star Dou Great Forest; perhaps encountering a powerful Spirit Beast could delay them for a moment and buy him a glimmer of hope.
However, things were truly not going well.
Up to now, he had not encountered any powerful Spirit Beasts.
“Should we save him?”
Seeing that the person being hunted was from their former camp, everyone’s gaze immediately turned to Qian Yu.
Clearly, they were seeking his opinion.
Unknowingly, Qian Yu had become the decision-maker in their group.
“Save him!”
“But don’t expose my existence yet.
Let’s test him out first.”
Qian Yu pondered for a moment before making his decision.
The safest method was to not save him.
But doing so would inevitably chill the hearts of those around him.
Currently, he still had to rely on their presence, didn’t he?
If he did something so cold-blooded to his own people, what would they think?
Therefore, he had to save him!
As for Huyan Li, he really didn’t have much of an impression of him.
He only remembered that during the Spirit Master Competition, he crushed Dai Mubai, but subsequently lost to the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
In terms of Spirit quality and talent, it was considered quite good in this era.
But without a powerful Opportunity, it was very difficult to achieve the rank of Titled Douluo.
The situation was clear as day.
In fact, he was more curious about the age of Huyan Li’s skull Spirit Bone.
According to the plot, it should be an eight or nine-thousand-year Spirit Bone.
But as the grandson of the Elephant Armored Academy Sect Master, and since what he fused with was the Legacy Spirit Bone of the Elephant Armored Academy, he felt it should at least be a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone.
If it was a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone, killing him might strengthen their side.
However, in the end, Qian Yu did not make that choice.
Ultimately, it came down to that one issue: people’s hearts!
The reason these people could gather together now was because they saw hope in him.
If there was a problem with people’s hearts, it would be very difficult to gather them again.
As for Spirit Bones, that really wasn’t a problem.
It’s hard to get Spirit Bones from killing Spirit Beasts; killing people to get Spirit Bones is the Righteous Path.
And he really did have a few good targets.
Meanwhile, the rest of the group had already taken action.
Only Hu Liena was left behind to protect Qian Yu.
Although the two Titled Douluo, Snake Lance and Porcupinefish, could not go all out, they were still Titled Douluo after all, and not something a Spirit Douluo could compare to.
The more he interacted with them, the more he realized the value of Titled Douluo in this era.
Each one was a one-in-ten-thousand Genius.
To be blunt, among the Shrek Seven Devils, if not for the Immortal Plants and the Gods Trial, most of them would never have had the chance to become Titled Douluo in their lifetime.
Excluding the cheating Tang San and the Spirit Beast-transformed Xiao Wu, among the remaining five, only Oscar had the chance to become a Titled Douluo.
As for the other four, whether it was Dai Mubai or Ma Hongjun, none of them had the chance to become Titled Douluo; at best, they would be Spirit Douluo.
As for Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, they were even less significant.
One had Spirit limitations, and the other had very average Innate Soul Power and Spirit.
Even for Oscar, who had full Innate Soul Power, it would probably take until he was sixty or seventy years old to cultivate to the Realm of a Titled Douluo.
From this, one can see how high the value of Titled Douluo was in this era.
Of course, the Clear Sky Sect was an exception.
They were not within the Realm of common sense.
With their dignity swept away and having lost their Spirit, it was truly absurd that after sealing off the mountain, they could still produce five or six more Titled Douluo.
After truly living in this World, Qian Yu told himself more than once: where there is something abnormal, there must be something sinister.
There must be some shameless manipulation and backing involved.
Just as Qian Yu was lost in his wild thoughts, the battle had already ended.
The three pursuers, having been ambushed by the two Titled Douluo, Snake Lance and Porcupinefish, lost their lives very easily.
