Chapter 232.1. Golden Dragon Spear


    Wang Donger gave Huo Yuhao this fantastic feeling not because she was pretty, but because their hearts were so close together. Huo Yuhao had only gradually developed this romantic feeling after the Sea Gods Fate, but discovered that he was improving very quickly in this aspect. He was always so happy, and he always felt so fortunate when Wang Donger was with him.


    Perhaps Wang Qiuer looked more like the Goddess of Light, and perhaps she also gave him a strong sense of familiarity. However, she couldnt bepared to Wang Donger at all, who upied all the space in Huo Yuhaos heart at this moment.


    The golden light radiating from Wang Qiuer not far from them began to recede at this moment, and one soul ring after another began to rise from her body.


    Two yellow, two purple, and two ck soul rings! When her sixth and final soul ring rose up, the golden hues around her hadpletely withdrawn into her body.


    It wasplete!


    Wang Qiuer hadpletely absorbed the fifty-thousand year Bloody Baboon Kings soul ring. The entire process only took roughly six hours; it was an incredible and frightening speed for a Soul Emperor, and yet, she had aplished it so easily!


    Wang Donger whispered, Her body is so ferocious. She can actually absorb a fifty-thousand year soul ring so quickly. Since thats the case, why does she have two hundred-year and two thousand-year soul rings before that?


    Huo Yuhao paused to think. Wang Donger was just making a casualment, but it made a lot of sense. Wang Qiuers Golden Dragon martial soul had to be the reason for her toughness and ferocity, but since that was the case, why did she have two hundred-year soul rings?


    Wang Donger could absorb a thousand-year soul ring as her second ring, and the main reason for that was because she had twin martial souls. She had mentioned to Huo Yuhao before that her second martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, which greatly strengthened her body and was the reason why she could absorb a thousand-year soul ring as her second ring. Wang Qiuer only had one martial soul, but it was apparent that her body was probably tougher than his own and Wang Dongers, too! Did she have some hidden troubles she hadnt voiced?


    They were observing Wang Qiuer at the same time. Wang Qiuer concluded the absorption process and looked over towards them. When her eyes met Huo Yuhaos gaze, she nodded her head faintly, but she didnt look at Wang Donger at all.


    Her action naturally fell into Wang Dongers eyes, and a look of surprise flowed from her eyes. She snapped her head back around at Huo Yuhao and said, Why did she nod at you?


    Huo Yuhao didnt hide anything from Wang Donger, and he told her about when he gave Wang Qiuer the meat sandwich, and how he was infuriated after she had tossed the baked bread onto the ground. The only thing he didnt say was that he and Wang Qiuer had alternately eaten from the piece of baked bread. Sometimes, white lies could avoid a lot of trouble...


    Wang Dongers eyes seemed to melt after Huo Yuhao told her about the story of the baked bread and of him and his mother. She didnt care about the others around her, and cuddled deeper into his embrace as she wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.


    Auntie is so nice. I wonder if I can be as good as she was. However, if the dayes when we are about die from starvation and theres only one piece of baked bread, then I will definitely eat it.


    Eh? Huo Yuhao stared at the girl in his embrace in faint astonishment.


    Wang Donger had closed her eyes by now. She used a voice that only the two of them could hear and said, Because, I hope you will have me by your side in yourst moments. I dont wish to see you hurt because of my death, and I want to die after you so that I can take another look at you


    Her gentle words instantly filled every corner of Huo Yuhaos heart. He never thought that a person would express his or her love for another like that. Wang Donger made his heart overflow with happiness.


    He subconsciously hugged her even tighter, but his throat seemed to be tied into a knot, and he couldnt speak a single word.


    Wang Donger could feel his excitement, and the feeling of being in his embrace became very real and exceptionally warm.


    Wang Qiuer stood not far from them as she stared at them nkly. She felt a sensation that she had never felt before at the break of dawn in this dimly-lit forest. The two of them were leaning against each other, and they seemed to fuse into each other to be one, and what astounded her was the emotions that flowed between them.


    The group woke up from their meditation one after another, and everyone could see the two lovebirds in an embrace. The two of them had their eyes closed at this moment, as if they had fallen asleep.


    Nobody disturbed them. The forest was full of life energy at this moment, and the two of them just sitting there was so harmonious with their surroundings, as if everything was just a masterful painting.


    Wang Qiuer finally turned her eyes away from them and walked up to Zhang Lexuan.


    Hows it looking, Qiuer? Zhang Lexuan asked.


    Wang Qiuer answered, Its alright. I know where to find soul beasts suitable for him, shall I lead the way?


    Zhang Lexuan asked, Are you very familiar with the Great Star Dou Forest? Where is this ce?


    Wang Qiuer turned around and gazed into the distance, before she turned towards the sun that was gradually rising from beyond the horizon. I once trained in the Great Star Dou Forest for an entire year. Ive been to the Peripheral Regions, the Hybrid Regions, and the outer areas of the Core Region.


    One year, continuously? Zhang Lexuan asked again, surprised. This was the Great Star Dou Forest, the residence of the most famous soul beasts on the Continent! More than half of the Ten Great Savage Beasts resided here, and this was not a ce that could be described as peaceful or quiet.


    Soul masters adventuring into the Great Star Dou Forest were normal, as this ce had the most soul beast species, and the most powerful ones. This ce by itself was almost enough to generate soul rings suitable for every single soul master.


    However, using this ce for training, and this trainingsting for an entire year, was something that was almost unimaginable. It didnt mean that Zhang Lexuan didnt have the ability, or that she wouldnt have a problem living in the Peripheral Region with her cultivation. However, encountering soul beasts every single day continuously without a chance to rest or rx was just so insufferable...


    Spending one or two days like this was still reasonable, but wouldnt ones mind just copse if this continued for an entire year? Furthermore, higher-level soul beasts might appear in the lower-level regions; anything was possible if one lived there for an entire year. Wang Qiuer was such a delicate and prettydy, and yet she was able to live in this ce for an entire year... it wasnt hard to imagine the effort she had to put in.


    Wang Qiuer nodded and said, One year by myself.


    Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath and said, Your sess hasnte about without good reason, than. It seems like that youre probably more familiar with the forest than every one of us here. Which soul beasts are suitable for Yuhao?


    Wang Qiuer contemted momentarily before she said, There are several species that fit the description. At least, these species are more suitable for him than the Bloody Baboon. However, these soul beasts almost all live within the Core Region, and every single one is extremely powerful. Well have to be very careful.


    Zhang Lexuan pondered for a while. Alright, you take point. Even though Wang Qiuer had just joined the academy, she was still part of the inner courtyard. She had to have seen some things if she spoke with such confidence. The Core Region was much more perilous than the Hybrid Region, and there would be a lot more pressure on everyones shoulders. However, this team at their strength could definitely venture inside for a little while, and they should be fine as long as they didnt enter the ughtering Grounds. The truth was that there were hardly any soul masters who had walked into the ughtering Grounds and returned alive.


    Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger finally woke up from their sweet moment. They were a little embarrassed when they noticed everyones stares, but when they looked back into each others eyes and they saw their own reflections, all that unspoken love and affection returned.


    Zhang Lexuan altered the formation when they got back on the road. Everybody was astounded when they saw that Wang Qiuer was now standing in front of the group. She had taken over Zhang Lexuans position, while Zhang Lexuan took over Wang Qiuers initial position.


    In terms of martial souls, Zhang Lexuan was an assault-type soul master, but she was most adept with mid-range to long-range attacks, and closebat wasnt her forte. Not even Huo Yuhaos Ultimate martial soul couldpare with Wang Qiuers Golden Dragon in terms of closebat. Of course, the Golden Dragons element was pure strength, and the Golden Dragon itself was thus an Ultimate martial soul. If Wang Qiuers cultivation was the same as Zhang Lexuans, she would undoubtedly be the most suitable person to be standing in front.


    Nobody objected to Zhang Lexuans new arrangement, and everyone was more careful and vignt when they got back on the road. The previous nights problems and disturbances gave them personal experience with the Hybrid Regions dangers and perils, while what they had to do next was to proceed forward and venture deeper into even more hazardous areas.


    Wang Qiuer walked in front of the group. She had taken down her veil, and her blue wave-like hair was woven into a ponytail. Everyone looked on in surprise as she retrieved a weapon from her storage-type soul tool.


    A soul masters best weapon was his or her own martial soul. Soul engineers typically used weapons, but soul masters hardly used any. In the end, weapons werent a part of ones body like a martial soul was, and there would be a negative bacsh if one didnt haveplete control or coordination with his or her martial soul.


    Wang Qiuers weapon was a long spear. It was about 3.6 meters long, and had a brilliant golden color that was identical to her martial soul. However, her weapon didnt contain any metal at all, it seemed to be made from wood. The spear emanated a life energy so dense and strong that the feeling wasparable to Huo Yuhaos Life Gold. Even though it wasnt as strong as the Life Golds life energy, it contained a stranger and more peculiar element.


    Wang Qiuers spear was different from typical spears. It was sharpened on both ends, and its entire body was like a long and narrow shuttle, while Wang Qiuers hands were gripping it in the center.


    Wang Qiuers icy aura became even sharper when she took out the spear. She stood at the very front of the group and raced forward, and didnt seem like she had any intention of slowing down.
