Chapter 126 Encountering an Old Friend in the Forest
One month later.
In the Star Dou Great Forest.
"We've been searching for so long, but we still haven't found any trace of that Fiery Azure Wolf.
Has that old man Demon Bear gone senile and marked the location wrong?"
Yue Guan grumbled, flipping through the map in his hand.
Seeing this, Ke Lin spoke up.
"Elder Yue Guan, this has nothing to do with Elder Demon Bear.
The territory of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is quite large, and they also possess a certain level of intelligence.
It's indeed difficult for us to search...
but we don't need to rush. We'll just do a thorough search.
Although the territory of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is large, it's also relatively fixed and won't easily change.
As long as we search little by little, we'll find that Fiery Azure Wolf sooner or later."
Ke Lin pointed to the fiery red fur and claw marks on the trees nearby.
"This should be one of the territorial markings left by that Fiery Wolf.
We must have already entered its territory!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan rubbed his smooth chin.
"We've already entered its territory?"
After muttering to himself, Yue Guan looked at Qin Ming.
"Your Highness, I'll go and search the area for a while to see if I can find any trace of the Fiery Wolf."
"Alright."
Receiving Qin Ming's reply, Yue Guan lightly stepped into the air.
He searched the area...
About ten minutes later, Yue Guan landed back on the ground.
"Your Highness, we can't find it.
Can't that Fiery Wolf just come to us?"
Hearing Yue Guan's complaint, Qin Ming and the others exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
Yue Guan didn't mind. Just as Yue Guan was about to get up and search the area again for more traces of the Fiery Wolf,
a rustling conversation came from nearby.
"Dean Flander, are you serious?
You really know Qin Ming, the guy on the Prodigy Ranking issued by the Spirit Hall not long ago?"
"Of course!
Why would I lie to you?
Old Zhao and I even helped him hunt for Qin Ming's third spirit ring..."
At this moment, Yue Guan and the others, hearing the commotion, all looked at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming blinked.
'Running into acquaintances here?'
Just as Qin Ming was pondering this, Flander and his group emerged from a nearby path.
They looked somewhat disheveled, with some burn marks on Flander's clothes.
At this moment, Flander and his group also noticed Qin Ming and Yue Guan.
"Qin Ming!"
Flander and Zhao Wuji exclaimed simultaneously.
Qin Ming's purpose in appearing in the Star Dou Great Forest was obvious; they could easily guess that he needed to hunt for spirit rings.
And the Spirit Hall personnel who were protecting Qin Ming while he hunted spirit rings in the Star Dou Great Forest were undoubtedly at least at the Soul Douluo level.
While pondering, Zhao Wuji secretly glanced at Yue Guan, the ghostly figure guarding Qin Ming's side.
Although he knew the Spirit Hall's higher-ups probably wouldn't take him seriously, Zhao Wuji still shrank slightly behind Flander.
Seeing this, Qin Ming didn't say anything, only smiling and greeting Flander.
"Dean Flander, long time no see."
"Qin Ming, long time no see."
Compared to before, Flander and Zhao Wuji seemed somewhat reserved.
Seeing this, Qin Ming didn't plan to linger.
He knew Zhao Wuji was still on the Spirit Hall's wanted list, and his presence would only make him uncomfortable.
After a few brief pleasantries, Qin Ming prepared to leave with Yue Guan and the others.
Just then, Flander suddenly called out to Qin Ming.
"Qin Ming, are you here to hunt for your fifth spirit ring?" Upon hearing this, Qin Ming stopped in his tracks.
"Yes, Dean Flander.
Are you also here to hunt for spirit rings?"
Hearing Qin Ming's words, Flander swallowed hard.
"Yes, this is a teacher who just joined our Blue Tyrant Academy.
Old Zhao and I are here specifically to accompany him to hunt for his sixth spirit ring..."
As he spoke, Flander recalled his encounter with Qin Ming a year ago.
Thinking back to the news that had reached Heaven Dou City, Flander felt a sense of disbelief.
A year ago, Qin Ming had only just reached the Spirit Venerable level, but now he already possessed the combat power of a Spirit Emperor...
Qin Ming had become the undisputed number one genius on the continent.
Qin Ming's progress completely exceeded his comprehension.
While pondering, Flander asked again,
"Qin Ming, is there a spirit beast you're eyeing for your fifth spirit ring?"
"Dean Flander, I plan to hunt a Fiery Azure Wolf with a cultivation level of around 60,000 years!"
"A Fiery Azure Wolf with a cultivation level of 60,000 years..."
Flander murmured.
Although he had expected it, hearing Qin Ming say those words still felt somewhat unreal.
The Blue Tyrant Academy teacher standing beside Flander was equally stunned.
His own sixth ring target was merely a spirit beast with a cultivation level of around 20,000 years.
Qin Ming's fifth ring target was so much older than his sixth ring.
Qin Ming's words completely overturned his expectations…
Just as the teacher was pondering, Flander suddenly spoke up.
"Qin Ming, are you currently searching for the location of that Fiery Azure Wolf?"
"Yes, Dean Flander.
Have you seen it?"
At this moment, Qin Ming also noticed the marks left on Flander's clothes.
Qin Ming knew they must have been left by a fire-attribute spirit beast.
Meeting Qin Ming's gaze, Flander nodded.
"Qin Ming, I still remember what your spirit looks like.
Not long ago, I saw a powerful spirit beast in a valley not far away. It looks very similar to your spirit.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be the one you're looking for."
Hearing Flander say this, Qin Ming's face lit up with joy.
"Dean Flander, that should be it.
We've been searching for it in the Star Dou Great Forest for a long time.
Please take me to that valley."
Upon hearing this, Flander quickly agreed.
"Alright, please follow me..."
As he spoke, Flander completed his spirit possession and flew into the air, leading everyone towards the valley he had mentioned...
An hour later.
Qin Ming and his group stopped on a cliff.
"It's right there!"
Following the direction Flander pointed, Qin Ming looked over.
A giant wolf, about five meters tall at the shoulder and covered in red fur, appeared in Qin Ming's sight.
"Its fur is fiery red, with light brown fur around its neck, and its pupils are a shimmering gold..."
After muttering a few words, Kelin looked at Qin Ming and said,
"Your Highness, this should be a Fiery Wolf with a cultivation level of around 65,000 years.
Its cultivation level is already extremely close to the upper limit of the fifth spirit ring you require..."
