In the following month, Yan encountered many fierce beasts every day.
The pain brought by the attacks of those beasts was real.
During the first few days, Yan got injured every day, but the pain was mixed with joy.
He utilized his extreme control over the fire element to transform flames into swords, shields, cages, and other offensive methods, fighting against the beasts, and continuously deepening his understanding and application of fire in actual combat.
He gradually mastered more powerful fire-based offensive and defensive skills.
Finally, after countless battles and trials, Yan successfully crossed the Flame Canyon filled with ferocious beasts.
He passed the second trial of the God of Fire and achieved self-transcendence in the process.
His understanding of the fire element gradually deepened to the point where he could perceive the essence of flames and manipulate their form and power at will.
[Trial Passed. Right Arm Soul Bone Age Increased by 30,000 Years.]
That ethereal yet powerful voice once again rang in Yan's ears.
Immediately, a golden-red light descended upon Yan's right arm, and his right arm soul bone suddenly lit up.
Yan instantly felt his right arm become hotter and stronger.
Originally, this Exploding Burning Flame Right Arm Bone only had a 30,000-year age.
After receiving the God of Fire's reward, its age doubled to 60,000 years.
This meant that the explosive effect of this soul bone's skill would become even more formidable.
Afterward, Yan left the Endless Fire Domain and returned to reality.
A letter from Shui Bing'er brought him surprise.
After a period of rigorous cultivation, Shui Bing'er had successfully broken through level 80 and could now hunt soul beasts to obtain her eighth soul ring.
Yan had once told Shui Bing'er that he would find her a suitable hundred-thousand-year soul beast as her eighth soul ring.
Therefore, he would go with Shui Bing'er to hunt soul beasts.
Before looking for Shui Bing'er, Yan once again went to the palace.
After a month, seeing Yan again made Qian Renxue very happy.
"You've finally come out of seclusion. How do you feel?"
"Not bad. What's the result of the negotiations with the Star Luo Empire?"
"They just finalized things a couple of days ago. They'll cede one-fourth of their territory to us in exchange for a one-year truce. To show their sincerity, they'll also suspend the manufacturing of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow."
"Gaining a fourth of their territory without losing a single soldier not bad. But can they really be trusted?"
Qian Renxue smiled faintly, unconcerned.
"If they dare to secretly forge the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, wouldn't that be even better? If they break the agreement first, I'll show no mercy."
"Hmm. One year changes nothing. They'll hand over more land. The Star Luo Empire will eventually be ours."
"Of course."
Qian Renxue was full of confidence, as if everything was under her control.
Yan said:
"I'll be leaving for a while to hunt soul beasts with a friend."
Qian Renxue joked:
"Soul beast hunting requires a war god like you to personally go?"
"Our target is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast."
"What? A hundred-thousand-year soul beast?!"
Qian Renxue was stunned, intrigued, and then asked:
"Is your friend about to become a Titled Douluo?"
"No, she just broke through level 80."
Qian Renxue grew even more puzzled.
"Using a hundred-thousand-year soul beast as the eighth ring exceeds the body's limit. Not every soul master has your physical talent. Can she handle it?"
"I believe she can."
Yan had confidence in Shui Bing'er because she had fused with the Ice Dragon King's dragon bone. With the power of the dragon bone in her body, she could withstand the energy impact of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
Qian Renxue smiled faintly.
"I'm quite curious who is this friend of yours?"
"You've met her. Shui Bing'er. She's now the Vice Dean of Tianshui Academy."
"So it's her. I didn't expect she's already broken through level 80. If I'm not wrong, you must've helped her a lot in her cultivation."
Qian Renxue's expression suddenly turned serious.
She knew Yan and Shui Bing'er had an unusual relationship. Otherwise, he wouldn't value her so much.
"A hundred-thousand-year soul beast isn't easy to find. Not everyone is as lucky as you."
Yan smiled calmly.
"Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts are indeed rare. But near Sea God Island, there are quite a few."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was shocked and a little worried.
"You're going to the seas near Sea God Island?"
"Mm. If we can't find a suitable one in Star Dou Forest, we might go there."
"Didn't you say Sea God Island is very dangerous?"
"Don't worry, we won't set foot on the island—just hunt sea soul beasts in the surrounding waters."
Yan knew that compared to the Ice Bound Forest, the sea around Sea God Island was more likely to yield one-hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
Although Yan looked confident, Qian Renxue was still uneasy.
"How about I send someone to go with you?"
"No need. The more people there are, the more it'll hinder our movements. Don't worry, we'll return safely."
Yan's attitude was firm, and Qian Renxue couldn't say much more.
"Alright then. Just be careful."
"Mm, I will."
After that, Yan left Spirit Hall City and headed to Sky Water City, where he met up with Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling at Sky Water Academy.
Ye Lingling's soul power had reached Level 69 just a step away from breaking through to Level 70 so Yan planned to bring her along to the Sea God Island sea region.
However, before that, Yan wanted to try his luck in the Star Dou Forest.
During a past soul-hunting operation, the Sky Azure Bull Python had been injured by Bibi Dong and its whereabouts were unknown.
Yan didn't know whether it was still in the core region of the Star Dou Forest.
If he couldn't find it, then heading to the Sea God Island sea region to hunt soul beasts would not be too late.
The three of them entered the Star Dou Forest and headed straight for its core.
Yan speculated that after all this time, the Sky Azure Bull Python might reappear.
The trio arrived at the central lake of the forest this was the Sky Azure Bull Python's old lair.
Looking at the calm lake surface, Shui Bing'er said:
"Brother Yan, I don't sense any powerful soul beast aura. Do you?"
Yan shook his head.
"I don't sense it either. Maybe it's hiding elsewhere. Seems like we'll have to go to Sea God Island."
As soon as Yan finished speaking, he felt an extremely sinister and terrifying aura approaching.
That cold energy was like a chill from the depths of a dark abyss, making one's hair stand on end.
Yan could sense that this powerful aura wasn't from a soul beast but from a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.
His instincts told him this visitor was definitely not friendly.
He quickly adjusted his state, his soul power surging like a tide, preparing to deal with the coming unknown threat.
"Bing'er, someone's coming. Protect Lingling."
"Got it."
Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling also became highly alert.
"Hahaha~"
That sinister and eerie laugh echoed from the sky, full of provocation and mockery, ringing in the three's ears.
Though the person had yet to appear, they could already feel a powerful sense of oppression.
"Yan, how are you? It's been a few years, and we run into each other here."
Upon hearing that voice, Yan's heart trembled violently.
That familiar yet unfamiliar woman it was Bibi Dong!
