An hour passed quickly, and Han Ruoruo got up on time and took over from Zhang Lexuan. The night lasted about five hours. Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo were on duty for the first two hours, and Ye Qian'an and Huo Yuhao were on duty for the third hour. The last two hours were undoubtedly still her and Han Ruoruo, which meant that the two of them took on most of the responsibilities of keeping watch. The forest seemed quite quiet. After the second hour, they still hadn't encountered any soul beasts passing by. Ye Qian'an and Huo Yuhao woke up at the same time. Huo Yuhao withdrew his hands from practicing with Wang Dong'er. Wang Dong'er also opened her eyes and stuck out her tongue at him. Han Ruoruo smiled slightly and whispered, "I'm counting on you two. If you find anything, please give us a warning in time." "Okay, senior sister, please take a rest." Huo Yuhao said politely. Ye Qian nodded slightly. The forest was not pitch black, the kind of darkness where you couldn't see your hand in front of you. The moonlight shone through the uneven, swaying shadows of the trees, and with the addition of some glowing fireflies, although the light was dim, you could still barely see objects clearly. When Huo Yuhao looked at Ye Qian'an, the spiritual detection sharing was turned on. "Please sit down." Ye Qian nodded and said. Huo Yuhao and Ye Qian sat side by side. The only sounds in the quiet forest were their gentle breathing and the occasional rustling of leaves. The shared spiritual detection was like an invisible net, clearly presenting everything around them in their minds.
They sat quietly, feeling the tranquility and mystery of the forest. Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly, concentrating on feeling every detail in the mental detection sharing, not missing any possible danger. Ye Qian'an looked calm, his eyes calmly scanning the surroundings, ready to deal with any emergency at any time. Time passed slowly, and the quietness in the forest made people gradually relax. At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his head and looked in one direction. The spiritual detection that was originally spread out in all directions instantly changed to detecting in one direction. In the spiritual detection and perception, the first thing the two felt was an overwhelming momentum. It was not emitted by a single soul beast, but a group of them. In the dark night, their eyes emitted a dark red glow, and their majestic bodies made no sound while moving, slowly approaching this side. Huo Yuhao used mental detection to immediately warn everyone who was in a state of cultivation. Without making any sound, the others woke up one after another. Without Huo Yuhao saying anything, they had already "seen" the soul beasts that were gradually approaching through mental detection. None of the inner courtyard students made a sound. They acted quickly and used the terrain to quickly find a suitable defensive position for themselves. Zhang Lexuan quickly came to the two of them and waved his hand lightly, asking everyone to maintain the formation. There are quite a lot of soul beasts in this group, more than a hundred of them. The soul beasts living in the mixed zone have at least a thousand years of cultivation. Hundreds of thousand-year-old soul beasts are already difficult to deal with, not to mention that the soul beasts they are facing are not just a thousand years old. It is better not to provoke such a group if possible. The group of soul beasts did not seem to have discovered where they were and were still walking slowly towards this direction. Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly, she was a little conflicted now. "The realm of pupils - controlling the soul!" Ye Qian'an shouted in a low voice, and the third eye on his forehead quietly opened. A purple-black light shot out from his eyes, instantly forming a faint transparent barrier around everyone, completely concealing their breath. At the same time, the Eye of Destruction began to flash with a strange light, and an invisible spiritual wave slowly emanated like water waves, trying to establish a spiritual connection with the group of soul beasts that were gradually approaching. As the mental fluctuations spread, Ye Qian'an seemed to have entered a strange spiritual world. In this world, he could clearly feel the emotions and consciousness fluctuations of each soul beast. Then he began to send soothing signals to the group of blood-red baboons. Those soul beasts originally wandered around in confusion, but gradually, under Ye Qian'an's mental control, their actions became extremely orderly. The group of blood-red baboons slowly lowered their heads and stood still. Their originally fierce eyes gradually became peaceful, and the fierce aura they originally emanated from their bodies slowly restrained. The muscles of every blood-red baboon relaxed, as if they had entered a state of tranquility, as if they were frozen there in time. Under Ye Qian'an's control, the group of blood-red baboons slowly turned around, as if being gently pushed by an invisible hand, and walked steadily in the direction away from the crowd. At this time, the forest was filled with a tense and strange atmosphere. Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes. She waved her hand gently, signaling everyone to remain vigilant in case of any unexpected situations. Half an hour had passed after all this was done. Even after half an hour, a hint of tension still lingered in the forest. Everyone stared at the direction where the blood-red baboon group left, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Qian'an closed his eyes slightly, as if he was adjusting his state. Zhang Lexuan looked around and confirmed that there were no other abnormalities. She said softly, "Everyone, don't let your guard down. This forest is full of dangers. We must stay alert at all times." The others nodded and stayed at their positions, not daring to slack off in the slightest. Huo Yuhao once again activated the sharing of mental detection, presenting the surrounding situation in more detail in everyone's mind. Just when everyone thought they could rest here peacefully tonight, a deafening roar sounded in the distance. The sound was like muffled thunder, fluctuating violently.
Zhang Lexuan jumped up and looked in the direction where the roar came from. Judging from the change in the sound after the roar, the soul beast should be coming towards them. Tonight, it is really not peaceful! Ye Qian'an, who was adjusting his state, also opened his eyes at this time, but he did not stand up. His eyes focused, and they turned bright gold. Soon, a purple figure appeared in Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection range. This is a lion with purple hair all over its body. Its body looks a little petite, with a very beautiful purple mane. The hair on its body is even more shiny purple, emitting a faint purple light. A big tail is constantly swinging behind it, and its nostrils are also trembling slightly, obviously trying to identify the smell. After a slight pause, the purple lion started again. Its body flashed at an incredibly fast speed, leaving a long trail of phantoms behind it. In just one or two breaths, it had already rushed over a distance of two kilometers. Zhang Lexuan's face changed slightly. "It's a purple shadow lion. Everyone, be careful. It's too fast. Ruoruo, you're going to have to work hard. Yuhao, get ready to fight. Be sure to use your spiritual soul skills to limit its speed. This purple shadow lion may have cultivated for ten thousand years." Even when she was about to face the blood-red baboon, Zhang Lexuan was not as nervous as when facing the purple shadow lion. To know the strength of soul beasts, cultivation is an important aspect, but cultivation does not mean absolute strength. Why are the ten fierce beasts so strong? It is not just because they have cultivated for a long time, but also because they are an extremely powerful race. The blood-red baboon group is indeed not weak, but compared with the purple shadow lion, it is obviously not as scary as this purple shadow lion. The purple shadow lion is one of the most terrifying speed-type soul beasts. It is not only extremely fast, but also contains a strong poison. And it has several very powerful innate soul skills. "Kneel down!" Ye Qian'an shouted as he stared at the rapidly approaching purple shadow lion. Ye Qian'an's shout exploded in the forest like thunder. The pressure of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline in the sound instantly rushed towards the Purple Shadow Lion like a surging wave. The Purple Shadow Lion's original swift forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, and its purple eyes revealed shock and uneasiness. The pressure of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline was like a heavy mountain, which made it a little breathless. Its limbs trembled slightly, and its body involuntarily took a small step back. Zhang Lexuan and others were also shocked by the sudden powerful pressure. They looked at Ye Qian'an in surprise and had a new understanding of his strength in their hearts. The Purple Shadow Lion tried hard to break free from the pressure, but the power of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline was too strong. Its body was tense, and its purple hair stood on end, but it still couldn't get rid of the invisible pressure. It let out a low roar, as if expressing its anger. However, Ye Qian'an's eyes were firm and cold. He stared at the purple shadow lion closely and did not relax his pressure on it at all. Seeing the purple shadow lion, Li Yongyue's eyes lit up. The ten thousand year purple shadow lion was a top-grade item for him. The increase in speed and attack was exactly what he needed. However, if it was a one-on-one situation, he would definitely be torn into pieces by this ten thousand year purple shadow lion. But now... Ye Qian'an seemed to notice Li Yongle's gaze, and then waved at him, motioning him to sit cross-legged in front of him. A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yongyue's eyes, and he hurriedly came to Ye Qian'an and sat down cross-legged as he was told. He was nervous and excited at the same time, as this ten thousand year old purple shadow lion was indeed a rare opportunity for him. Ye Qian'an narrowed his eyes slightly, and while continuing to suppress the Purple Shadow Lion with the pressure of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, he said to Li Yongyue: "You should have seen Mo Xuan's situation. Next, I will use that method to condense blood in your body." Li Yongyue took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew this was a rare opportunity. Ye Qian'an looked at Li Yongyue, his eyes revealing determination and concentration. He raised his hand slightly, and a golden light shot out from his palm again, enveloping Li Yongyue. Li Yongyue suddenly felt a powerful force surging into his body like a tide, and his body trembled involuntarily. Like Mo Xuan, his five yellow, purple and black soul rings emerged uncontrollably. Ye Qian'an followed the previous steps and let the martial soul rings under Li Yongyue slowly disperse. The shadow of the original soul beast appeared on each soul ring. Then, he turned around and pointed at the Purple Shadow Lion that was suppressed by the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. A drop of purple blood slowly emerged from the Purple Shadow Lion's forehead. At the same time, Ye Qian'an's other hand emitted a powerful suction force and pulled towards the phantoms of the five soul beasts. The phantoms of the five soul beasts trembled slightly, as if resisting, but they were unable to break free under Ye Qian'an's powerful control. As the suction force increased, they began to slowly move towards Ye Qian'an. Li Yongyue's body was shaking even more violently at this moment. He felt nervous and looking forward to the next changes. Ye Qian'an gradually pulled the five soul beast phantoms closer to the drop of purple blood. When the soul beast phantoms got close to the blood, they seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and could no longer move. Zhang Lexuan and others watched this scene nervously, not daring to breathe. Ye Qian'an narrowed his eyes slightly, and the power in his hand increased again. The drop of purple blood began to emit a more dazzling light, enveloping the shadows of the five soul beasts. Under the illumination of the light, the shadows of the soul beasts gradually became blurred, as if they were merging with the blood. "Go!" With Ye Qian'an's low shout, the purple blood that was fused with the shadows of five soul beasts flew towards Li Yongyue.
Li Yongyue widened his eyes, nervously watching the light approaching him. The light instantly penetrated into Li Yongyue's body. The Purple Shadow Lion was different from the Blue Sea Spirit Ape. The power it contained was more violent and swift. Li Yongyue felt that the power was rushing through his body like a wild horse, as if it was going to tear his body apart. As time went by, fine beads of sweat began to seep out of Li Yongyue's body, and his face became extremely pale. The purple shadow lion bloodline that was a fusion of the phantoms of five soul beasts was gradually tamed in his body and began to slowly merge with his martial soul. The people around watched this process nervously, not daring to breathe. Finally, the violent power gradually subsided, and the blood and martial soul in Li Yongyue's body merged perfectly. A brand new aura emanated from him. He slowly opened his eyes, flashing with excitement and gratitude. Ye Qian nodded slightly and said, "Next, you have to attract the natural energy to merge into your body like Mo Xuan did, and condense the sixth soul ring." Li Yongyue took a deep breath and began to concentrate, feeling the natural energy around him. Strands of vital energy from heaven and earth slowly gathered towards him, and he concentrated on guiding these energies into his body. When Li Yongyue was condensing his soul ring, the others also returned to Ye Qian'an's side, and the look in their eyes when they looked at him had changed significantly. Han Ruoruo was relatively familiar with Wang Yan because of his relationship with him. She immediately asked, "Qian, what method did you use? How could you control the purple shadow lion instantly from a distance of several hundred meters?" Ye Qian raised his eyes slightly and said calmly: "The pressure of bloodline. Although the Purple Shadow Lion is powerful, it will be greatly suppressed in front of my bloodline. The power of my bloodline contains great majesty and strength, which can make most soul beasts succumb to a certain extent." Everyone fell into deep thought, they were all thinking about this method. It was obvious that they were already the first group of people to try it out. At this time, Li Yongyue was still concentrating on condensing his sixth soul ring. The natural energy around him continued to gather towards him, and his aura was gradually becoming stronger. Han Ruoruo couldn't help but say, "Your blood pressure is indeed powerful. With your ability, let alone shocking soul beasts, I'm afraid you can even shock us." Ye Qian just smiled and didn't explain much. Zhang Lexuan clapped her hands and said, "Alright, let's take this time to rest. Li Yongyue will probably have to wait until tomorrow to condense and absorb the spirit ring. After he finishes, we will continue on our way." After hearing what Zhang Lexuan said, everyone found a place to sit down and began to adjust their state and enter rest mode. Although they were in the dangerous Xingdou Great Forest, they felt more at ease at this moment. Ye Qian'an leaned against a big tree with his eyes slightly closed. He seemed to be resting, but in fact he was paying attention to the movements around him. Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger were sitting not far away. They occasionally looked at each other, their eyes full of tacit understanding. The night in the forest was still quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the faint energy fluctuations around Li Yongyue. Time passed slowly, and everyone was waiting for the arrival of a new day in such an atmosphere. ………(End of chapter)
