Chapter 59: Taking Five 100,000-Year Soul Beasts, Marching to the Extreme North!
The power of this move was enough to rival the sixth soul skill of an ordinary Soul Emperor, even stronger than that of a Soul Emperor's sixth soul skill.
"Not bad. With the strength of my human form now, I'm enough to match regular Soul Emperor-level experts. Below the Soul Saint level, there should be no one who can defeat me," Ye Wen smiled, pleased with his current power.
He had already surpassed Tang San by so much. Even if he now appeared in front of Tang San in his human form, even if Tang San had hidden weapons, he still wouldn't be able to compete with Ye Wen at his current strength.
He refocused his thoughts and wondered, "I wonder how Daming and Erming are doing in their human forms now."
The reason Ye Wen had insisted that Daming and Erming focus on cultivating their human forms was because Soul Beasts grew too slowly. In human form, within a few decades or a few hundred years, they could potentially reach the pinnacle of the 99th-level Title Douluo.
Soul Beasts, however, grew far slower.
If he didn't train his human form, how could he wait for thousands or tens of thousands of years before he was capable of leading a strong team to fight against the God Realm?
"Scott." Ye Wen thought for a moment, then walked out of the room and called for the terrifying knight, Scott.
"Master, you called for me?"
"Scott, go to the Star Dou Forest yourself and bring Qing Tian Niu Mang and Titan Giant Ape here. Tell them I'm looking for them," Ye Wen instructed.
Scott was shocked, "What! Qing Tian Niu Mang and Titan Giant Ape? They're the overlords of the Star Dou Forest! Will they come if I ask? How will they even come?"
Scott paused, suddenly realizing something and looked at Ye Wen, stunned. "Master, could it be that Qing Tian Niu Mang and Titan Giant Ape are also your subordinates and can transform into human form?"
"Yes."
"Ah..." Scott gasped, nodding seriously. "Understood, Master. I'll go handle it."
"Also, send someone to bring the King of Slaughter over."
"Yes!"
Afterward, Scott led a few Soul Saints to the Star Dou Forest and also called for several people to go to the City of Slaughter.
"Once Daming, Erming, and the Blood Bat arrive, Tianshui Academy should be on break. During the break, we'll head to the Extreme North and recruit all the 100,000-year soul beasts from the area under my command," Ye Wen planned.
The Blood Bat referred to the King of Slaughter.
The Extreme North was quite different from the Star Dou Forest. It had extremely low temperatures, powerful Soul Beasts, and an extreme cold that ordinary Soul Masters couldn't withstand.
The closer one got to the core area of the Extreme North, the closer the temperature was to absolute zero. Even a Sea Soul Beast like Ye Wen would be suppressed by the climate, which would affect his strength.
So, Soul Beasts like Ye Wen and those like Daming and Erming, who came from the forest, would be directly affected by the climate and their fighting ability would be reduced.
Also, Soul Beasts in the Ice and Fire Snowfields were stronger due to the climate, terrain, and home-field advantage.
What was even more different was that the 100,000-year-level Soul Beasts in the Extreme North were more united compared to the Star Dou Forest. There were also more visible 100,000-year Soul Beasts in the area!
The Extreme North had three great Kings: the Ice Queen, with a cultivation nearing 700,000 years; the Ice-Blooded Emperor Scorpion, with a cultivation of 400,000 years; and the Titan Snow Demon King, with a cultivation of over 200,000 years.
There was also an Ice Bear King, with a peak cultivation of 100,000 years.
Among them, some had bad relationships, and others were close, but one thing was clear: all the 100,000-year Soul Beasts in the Extreme North highly respected the Snow Emperor, the leader of the three great Kings.
If an outsider Soul Beast or powerful human were to invade, they would unite.
When Ye Wen went to the Extreme North to capture the 100,000-year Soul Beasts, it was very likely that he would face all of them at once, rather than capturing them one by one.
This might very well turn into a massive group battle.
Therefore, Ye Wen had to call for reinforcements—bringing Daming, Erming, and the King of Slaughter. They would directly face the Soul Beasts of the Extreme North.
Ye Wen's plan was to fill all 20 of his contract slots before his fated battle with Tang San and capture twenty 100,000-year or higher Soul Beasts.
Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, more than half a month had gone by.
The King of Slaughter, Daming, and Erming had arrived at Tianshui City and gathered at Scott's residence. Tianshui Academy was on break again, this time for two and a half months.
Ye Wen sat in the central position, with the King of Slaughter, Xie Hu, Xiao Bai, Daming, and Erming standing on either side of him.
"Daming, Erming, tell me, what level have you reached in your human forms now?" Ye Wen asked.
"Boss, I'm at level 16," Titan Giant Ape said, trembling slightly.
"What? It's been a little over a year, and you've only reached level 3?"
Seeing Ye Wen's displeasure, Erming quickly admitted fault, saying, "Boss! I'll definitely work harder and level up faster!"
"Daming, what about you?"
"Boss, I'm at level 17," Daming straightened his back and said, thinking, "If leveling up by 3 levels in a year is slow, then gaining 4 levels in a year shouldn't be too bad, right?"
"Level 4, huh? Not bad," Ye Wen nodded. "Now, let's get down to business. The reason I called you here isn't just to ask about your soul power levels. There's something else I need you to assist me with."
"Boss, what is it?" Erming asked, confused.
"You, and the Blood Bat, need to come with me to the Extreme North. I intend to capture the 100,000-year Soul Beasts there and bring them under my command," Ye Wen said straightforwardly.
"The Extreme North?"
Daming and Erming exchanged a look. They had heard of the place, but weren't very familiar with it.
"Yes, the Extreme North currently has four known Soul Beasts that have reached the 100,000-year level, with the strongest one having a cultivation nearing 700,000 years."
"What! That high!"
"Such cultivation is only second to the Beast God, Emperor Tian!"
Daming and Erming were both shocked to hear this.
"Heh, in the Extreme North, on Snow Emperor's turf, even if Emperor Tian went there, it would still take quite a bit of effort to defeat Snow Emperor," Ye Wen said, shaking his head with a smile.
While Snow Emperor's individual strength was far weaker than Emperor Tian, in the terrain of the Extreme North, Snow Emperor had the advantage of perfect terrain, climate, and home-field power, making her even stronger.
"Is it really that strong?" Titan Giant Ape asked, stunned. He was learning a lot.
"Yes, that's why my and Xie Hu, Xiao Bai's strength alone isn't enough. I need your help."
"We understand!" Daming, Erming, and the King of Slaughter all responded.
"Then let's head out now. I'll tell you more about the Extreme North and the Soul Beasts there along the way."
