In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.
After successfully fusing with the Spirit Bone, Hu Liena’s strength increased from level 76 to level 79.
A 50,000-year-old Right Leg Bone had allowed her to increase her Soul Power by three levels within the Spirit Saint Realm; clearly, the quality of this ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone was quite good.
Qian Yu had also produced gunpowder, and even used egg whites to granulate it.
As for its specific destructive power, it still needed to be tested.
“How is the information you’ve been gathering lately?”
Qian Yu came to Hu Liena’s room and asked straight to the point.
He couldn’t let Hu Liena be idle while he was busy; besides having her focus on cultivation, he also had her scout for information, searching for the Spirit Beast he needed, as well as personnel from the former Spirit Hall.
“The activity range of one of the target Spirit Beast you need has already been determined.
As for the information on the Spirit Hall personnel, I have indeed gathered some.”
“The former Vice Captain of the Spirit Hall’s Angel Legion is still alive.
He led some of the Angel Legion members to defect to the Heaven Dou Empire.
It is said that they used a woman with a two-winged Angel Martial Soul as a bargaining chip to beg the Heaven Dou Emperor, Xue Beng, to give them a piece of land to survive on.”
Hu Liena told Qian Yu the information she had gathered.
“The Vice Captain, Vice Captain Qian Guhong, a level 87 Spirit Douluo!”
“He is still alive?”
This matter was indeed something Qian Yu had not expected.
Because this Vice Captain Qian Guhong was the father of his predecessor.
“Do not contact them for the time being.”
Qian Yu pondered for a while and ultimately decided not to make use of this power.
They had managed to survive by trading away their dignity and everything else; if they were to be placed in danger again because of his intervention, it would not be worth the loss.
Having occupied someone else’s body and used the convenience brought by that person’s identity, he still had to acknowledge this debt.
However, now was not the time to repay favors.
“Alright, let’s go hunt for Spirits first.
After the Spirit hunt is over, you can find a way to search for Yan and Xie Yue.”
Qian Yu felt that this first spirit ring had been delayed for too long.
It had been nearly half a year since his Awakening.
Hu Liena had no objections to this.
After fusing with the 50,000-year-old Right Leg Bone, not only had her Soul Power increased, but her combat strength had also grown stronger.
Now, she also had more confidence.
Afterward, Qian Yu demonstrated the explosive power of the gunpowder, which gave Hu Liena even more confidence.
The target he was hunting for his first spirit ring was the Sacred Golden Beetle, a Spirit Beast with maxed-out base stats; whether it was speed, strength, or defensive power, it was all truly astonishing.
Possessing twin spirits, he had absolutely no need to worry about not having enough Spirit Ability to use.
Therefore, he hoped that the first three spirit rings hunted for his Angel Martial Soul would all possess amplification effects, especially percentage-based amplification.
Of course, it would be even better if he could obtain a rule-based Spirit Ability.
Bibi Dong’s Eternal Torment and Undying Body were things he was very envious of.
Afterward, the two of them followed the direction provided by the Spirit hunting team, venturing deep into the Star Dou Great Forest toward their target.
It must be said, the information they bought was quite reliable.
They quickly arrived at their destination, but while the information was reliable, it was perhaps a bit too reliable.
Not only was the 29,000-year-old Sacred Golden Beetle they needed here, but there were also 40,000-year-old and 60,000-year-old ones.
Among them, the most powerful Sacred Golden Beetle had a strength that was actually approaching 80,000 years.
Clearly, this was the nest of the Sacred Golden Beetles.
“Leave that bomb thing you made with me.
I’ll find a way to lure out that 29,000-year-old Sacred Golden Beetle.
You find a place to hide, and also set up the bombs to protect yourself.”
Qian Yu had originally thought Hu Liena would shrink back, but to his surprise, her stubborn temper flared up; even knowing there was danger, she still wanted to take the risk.
There was one thing Qian Yu did not know: when Hu Liena was consuming the Whale Glue, in her state of confusion, the person she was thinking of was still Tang San.
Strictly speaking, it was not Tang San, but Tang Yin.
Perhaps due to paranoia, or perhaps because she had fallen into an extreme state, after Hu Liena woke up and learned that Tang San had taken the life force of her and her brother during the Spirit Master Competition, the beautiful image in her heart was further destroyed.
Hu Liena had fallen into another extreme.
The person she admired was Tang Yin, not Tang San.
Tang San was detestable; it was he who destroyed the beauty in her heart.
How should one put it?
Once a woman goes crazy and becomes completely paranoid, no one can estimate what she might do.
The current Hu Liena had evolved to the point where she was determined to destroy Tang San; it was because of him that Tang Yin’s perfect image had been destroyed.
She knew very well that Tang San had become a god, and that no matter what, she would be unable to take revenge.
But this boy, who had made Qian Renxue sacrifice all her power, still had a glimmer of hope.
For this glimmer of hope, Qian Renxue was left with only a wisp of a remnant soul.
As the former Saintess of the Spirit Hall, could she not even deal with a Spirit Beast that was less than 30,000 years old?
She also decided to bet everything.
“Come back alive!”
Seeing the determination and madness in Hu Liena’s eyes, Qian Yu knew that Hu Liena in this state could no longer be stopped.
Although he did not know what kind of mental journey the other party had experienced, given the current situation, it was a beneficial thing for him, so why should he stop her?
Afterward, Qian Yu left some of the gunpowder behind, and he headed toward the valley where the two had agreed to meet, setting up the gunpowder within the valley.
He waited quietly!
Two days later, Hu Liena returned.
Although she was not missing any arms or legs, she was covered in blood.
This was not the most important thing; the most important thing was that a nearly 50,000-year-old Sacred Golden Beetle was following behind Hu Liena.
Although that Sacred Golden Beetle was also injured, it was chasing Hu Liena relentlessly.
“Did you fail?”
Looking at the empty-handed Hu Liena, Qian Yu sighed softly.
However, he immediately activated the Angelic Domain to assist Hu Liena.
“Run over at top speed; I am going to start lighting the fuse.”
After giving Hu Liena the amplification, and estimating the distance between them, Qian Yu found the right moment and began to light the gunpowder he had previously set up.
At the same time, his Second Martial Soul, the Blazing Sun Holy Sword, appeared in his hand.
Although his current Soul Power was insufficient to support him in fully activating this Spirit Ability, he could still force it for a second or two.
If he found the right opportunity, it would be enough to kill it.
Hearing Qian Yu’s words, Hu Liena hurriedly used all her strength to sprint rapidly toward the direction where Qian Yu was.
“Boom!”
Just at this moment, the gunpowder buried in the valley exploded instantly.
And that 50,000-year-old Sacred Golden Beetle was right in the center of the explosion.
Hu Liena had only narrowly escaped dying on the spot.
