Three hours later, Xie Yue finished absorbing the spirit ring.
Everyone gathered around.
Hu Liena couldn't wait to ask:
"Brother, you've absorbed the spirit ring how do you feel? How much has your spirit power increased?"
"It increased by two levels. I'm now at level fifty-two."
The two-level increase wasn't entirely due to the spirit ring.
When he broke through to level fifty, he hadn't obtained a spirit ring immediately. The spirit power he had accumulated during cultivation manifested all at once after obtaining the spirit ring, thus his total spirit power rose to level fifty-two.
While Xie Yue spoke, his gaze shifted to Sun Chuantao.
"Chuantao, are you alright?"
Xu Yu proudly cut in.
"Boss, with me around, what's there to worry about? Tao-ge is already healed."
"Mhm. Boss, don't worry, I'm fine now. Just now, if it hadn't been for Brother Yan landing that punch, the consequences would've been unimaginable."
Everyone's eyes turned to Yan.
Although he hadn't participated in the encirclement and attack on the Ghost Tiger, that powerful punch of his had stunned the beast, allowing Xie Yue and the others to trap it and take its life.
"If Brother Yan hadn't landed that punch, that beast might've escaped. Luckily, Brother Yan didn't even use full force—otherwise, it would've been killed outright."
The punch Yan had thrown just now was a regular Flame Fist, not his fifth spirit ability, the Violent Magma Fist.
Had he used the Violent Magma Fist, the Ghost Tiger would've been punched through, and the rest wouldn't have had to struggle so much.
Yan smiled and curiously asked:
"Xie Yue, that Ghost Tiger had terrifying speed and attack power, plus the ability to use Shadow Clone your fifth spirit ability must be pretty strong too, right?"
Xie Yue nodded and explained.
"My fifth spirit ability is related to the Ghost Tiger's speed, strength, and innate Shadow Clone skill. I call it 'Moonblade Mirage'."
To give everyone a more direct feel of the ability's power, Xie Yue demonstrated it on the spot.
As he activated the ability, the area around him seemed to be enveloped by a black shadow.
Two moonblades flew from his hands, and during their flight, they suddenly multiplied into layers of illusions. These illusionary moonblades, under his control, darted around the battlefield like phantoms, capable of attacking the enemy from all directions.
Xie Yue's spirit ability possessed not only powerful offensive capabilities and speed but also elusive trajectories and unpredictable assault patterns.
Opponents would often only see a blur of bladed shadows and couldn't distinguish the real moonblade.
Under the attack of Moonblade Mirage, even strong opponents found it hard to defend.
Hu Liena exclaimed in awe:
"Brother, your Moonblade Mirage is amazing it catches enemies completely off guard."
"Nana, our next goal is to find a suitable spirit beast for you. Once you get a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, you'll become even more powerful."
"Mhm."
Hu Liena looked forward to obtaining her first ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
She pursued an extreme path, and her previous four spirit abilities were all based on charm.
Therefore, the spirit beast she aimed to hunt wasn't common it needed to possess charm-type abilities.
At dawn the next day, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the dense foliage and spilled onto the ground, the group had already packed up and resumed their march toward the forest's center.
Their goal was clear—to find a ten-thousand-year spirit beast with charm abilities for Hu Liena.
As before, Lin Zhendong entrusted the task of locating and hunting the spirit beast to the seven of them.
As they ventured deeper toward the forest's center, their steps grew increasingly cautious.
As night approached, the forest light dimmed gradually, and the occasional roars of spirit beasts kept everyone on edge.
While walking, they came upon an unusual cave.
The cave entrance was covered by thick vines and moss, as if no human or beast had visited it in a long time.
Yan sensed something odd it looked like camouflage, with soul power fluctuations emanating from within the cave.
"Shh~"
Yan motioned for everyone to stop.
"There seems to be a soul beast inside that cave. Stay here and don't move I'll go check it out first."
After speaking, Yan cautiously approached the cave.
He gently parted the vines and peered through the gap into the cave.
The light inside was dim, and sure enough, a large soul beast was curled up within.
It was a ten-thousand-year Demon Fox, covered in deep purple fur.
Looking closely, Yan noticed that there was actually a third eye on the fox's forehead.
"It's a ten-thousand-year Three-Eyed Demon Fox!"
Yan returned to the group and whispered.
Hu Liena was overjoyed.
"It's really a Three-Eyed Demon Fox?"
"Mhm."
Yan nodded with certainty.
He knew that Demon Foxes were extremely cunning soul beasts, possessing powerful charm-type abilities. Even though they had found it in this cave, killing it wouldn't be easy.
So, they had to plan carefully.
"There might be other exits inside the cave—don't rush in recklessly. I'll go in first. Nana, Xie Yue, and Sun Chuantao, come in later. Li Kai, Zhang Ping, Xu Yu—you three stay at the entrance and keep an eye on the surroundings."
"Alright."
Everyone nodded in understanding.
Following Yan's instructions, they slowly approached the cave.
The Three-Eyed Demon Fox seemed to sense the aura of human soul masters and let out a sharp screech. Its fur bristled, and its three eyes gleamed with ferocity.
Yan charged into the cave, releasing his martial soul. His entire body ignited in flames, and the crimson glow instantly lit up the dark cave.
Seeing a human soul master invade its territory, the Three-Eyed Demon Fox flew into a rage, its three eyes emitting a pink light.
That pink glow seemed to have a certain magical power, capable of disturbing one's mind.
"Don't look into its eyes!"
Hu Liena leapt into the cave as well. She sensed the powerful charm ability of the Three-Eyed Demon Fox and immediately activated her own soul skill—Fox charm with charm to restrain the fox.
Suddenly, the Three-Eyed Demon Fox split into two identical forms and lunged toward Hu Liena.
At that moment, Xie Yue and Sun Chuantao also rushed into the cave, attacking the fox and its clone from left and right.
This time, Yan didn't join the fight.
He simply stood to the side, using the flames on his body to provide light for everyone.
Though the Three-Eyed Demon Fox also had cloning abilities, its attack power and speed were far inferior to the Ghost Tiger.
With Hu Liena restraining it, Xie Yue and Sun Chuantao found it much easier to strike.
This time, Sun Chuantao hit the clone, while Xie Yue landed a blow on the real body.
With the fifth spirit ring, Xie Yue's attack became even more fierce, and with one move, he severely injured the Three-Eyed Demon Fox.
"Nana, finish it off!"
"Got it!"
Hu Liena flashed forward, and the blade in her hand flew out, piercing straight into the heart of the Three-Eyed Demon Fox.
