Chapter 113 Death Canyon Twenty days later. In Death Canyon. By a dried-up stream. The air was filled with a bloody smell, and a huge bird with a pitch-black body fell on the cracked ground. In the sunlight, its wings faintly reflect colorful colors. In front of him, Kelin sat cross-legged on the ground, a black soul ring flickering. Yue Guan and others are on guard nearby. At this time, looking at Ke Lin who seemed to be struggling a little, Dugu Xin asked nervously. “Your Highness, this Star Bird should be around 25,000 years old. This is beyond the limit of what a Soul Emperor can absorb. Is Bishop Kelin really okay?"
"Ah Xin, don't worry. According to past theories, the maximum age of the soul ring that a Soul Emperor can absorb is 20,000 years. The age of this Star Bird is just slightly beyond the maximum age limit." As he spoke, Qin Ming pointed at Ke Lin, whose expression gradually relaxed. "You see, Bishop Colin has already passed the most difficult stage, and what remains is just a matter of time and effort." Seeing that Dugu Xin was still a little confused, Qin Ming continued to explain. “More than half a year ago, Bishop Colin learned from me the importance of physical strength, and he began to train himself at that time. I also gave the whale glue that I had purchased earlier, which could enhance the body's strength, to Bishop Colin. Now with the help of the ninth-grade purple ganoderma, Bishop Kelin's physical strength is not low. I just don’t know what kind of soul skills this soul ring can bring him.” Looking at the silver-white scepter in front of Kelin, Qin Ming was also a little expectant. Ke Lin is an auxiliary spirit master, and his spirit, the Moon Shadow Staff, is also of good quality. Unlike most other auxiliary spirit masters, Kelin chose to specialize in one aspect. When choosing soul skills, Kelin gave priority to speed-type soul beasts. This means that out of the five spirit rings that Ke Lin had previously obtained, four of the spirit skills can provide speed enhancement. Only the soul skill of the third soul ring had a slight deviation, which had the effect of increasing attack power. In the previous battle, Yue Guan and others were full of praise for the speed gain provided by Ke Lin. The Star Bird in front of him, which was hunted specifically for Kelin, is also a speed-type soul beast. Qin Ming was very curious at this time, whether Ke Lin's sixth soul skill would be a speed-enhancing soul skill as Ke Lin wished...
A few hours later. As the sun sets, Death Canyon begins to grow colder and colder. hum- Accompanied by an invisible wave, Kelin woke up from meditation. The black soul ring also sank into Kelin's body. Seeing this, Qin Ming and others surrounded Ke Lin. "How is Bishop Colin feeling?" “Your Highness, I have broken through to the Soul Emperor level. This sixth soul skill is, as expected, exactly the speed-boosting soul skill I need..." After getting Ke Lin's reply, Qin Ming said with a smile. "Congratulations, Bishop Colin." At this time, Yue Guan and the others also came over. After simply expressing his congratulations to Kelin, Yue Guan spoke loudly. "Bishop Colin, hurry! Let me try out the effect of your sixth soul skill." Hearing this, Kelin smiled and nodded. Holding the Moon Shadow Staff in his hand, Kelin gently pointed at Yueguan. As the soul ring flashed, a stream of light sank into Yue Guan's body. After taking a quick look at his own condition, Yue Guan stepped lightly. In an instant, Yue Guan's figure disappeared from the spot and appeared directly in the air dozens of meters away. "Bishop Kelin, your soul skill is not... Um? " Sensing that something was wrong, Yue Guan stopped the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He subconsciously summoned his soul power to put up a simple protective shield on his body. With a whistling sound in the air, a ball of fire hit him. Bang—the flames enveloped Yue Guan... Seeing this situation, Qin Ming did not dare to delay. He directly unfolded his martial soul and looked around vigilantly. “Your Highness, don’t worry about it, it’s just a ten thousand year old soul beast. It can’t hurt Yue Guan.” As he spoke, the ghost pointed towards a place not far away.
Qin Ming and others looked in the direction of the ghost's finger. A leopard with a red body but a pure white tail appeared in front of them. After taking a quick look, Kelin made a judgment. “Judging from its basic features, this should be a Flame Cloud Leopard with a cultivation base of nearly 40,000 years. It was most likely attracted by the smell of blood on the Star Bird." After hearing Ke Lin's words, Qin Ming also realized the problem. Just as Qin Ming was thinking, Yue Guan in the firelight shouted loudly. "You old bastard!" As soon as Yue Guan finished speaking, golden petals began to fall from the sky, covering the Flame Cloud Leopard almost instantly. A shrill scream came from the mouth of the Flame Cloud Leopard. Its formerly gorgeous fur disappeared, replaced by countless bloody scars. After a cold snort, Yue Guan appeared above the head of the Flame Cloud Leopard, and the golden soul power also fell towards the Flame Cloud Leopard. In a moment, Yue Guan appeared with the Flame Cloud Leopard in his hand and landed in front of Qin Ming. "Your Highness, what do you think of this fire-attributed soul beast?" Hearing this, Qin Ming turned his head and looked at Ke Lin beside him and asked. "Bishop Colin, what do you think?" “The quality of the bloodline is okay, but the age is really low! Your Highness, you are wasting your talent by absorbing this soul beast." Hearing this, Qin Ming nodded. "understood." Having said that, Qin Ming looked at Yue Guan again. "Elder Yueguan, just take care of this Flame Cloud Leopard." After all, this was Yueguan's trophy, and the Flame Cloud Leopard had also attacked Yueguan before. Therefore, Qin Ming did not suggest that Yue Guan should directly release the Flame Cloud Leopard in order to protect the soul beast resources. After knowing that Qin Ming did not need this soul beast, Yue Guan nodded. He stretched out his hand, and countless golden petals turned into a long golden whip with spikes in his hand. After whipping the Flame Cloud Leopard several times in a row, Yue Guan finally released his soul power suppression on it. As soon as the suppression was released, the Flame Cloud Leopard whimpered and fled into the distance...
Looking at the Flame Cloud Leopard's back going away, Yue Guan shook his head. Then he turned his head and looked at Qin Ming and said. “Your Highness, there are not many fire-attributed soul beasts in this Death Canyon. The leopard just now was most likely the fire-attributed soul beast with the highest cultivation level. If we can't find a suitable soul beast in the Death Canyon, we can go to the Star Dou Great Forest. The soul beast resources there are more abundant." "It's okay. I'm not in a hurry." As he spoke, Qin Ming looked up at the setting sun which was gradually disappearing in the distance. "It's getting late today, let's rest here first." Hearing this, Yue Guan looked at Qin Ming several times. After noticing that Qin Ming really didn't seem to care, Yue Guan spoke tentatively. “Your Highness, the subsequent operation of hunting down a hundred thousand year soul beast is too dangerous. Otherwise, wait until tomorrow morning. Lao Gui and I will first send you, Bishop Kelin, and Dugu Xin out of the Death Canyon. Helping Elder Dugu Bo with soul hunting will be the responsibility of me and Lao Gui. I will also leave the Ten Thousand Years Purple Winged Spider King that Dugu Xin needs in advance..."
