Chapter 127: Chapter 127 New Mission: Intercept the Eight Spider Lances! Successful Absorption of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!
Chapter 127 New Mission: Intercept the Eight Spider Lances! Successful Absorption of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!
Chrysanthemum Douluo, with Su Yun in tow, sprinted away, finally slowing down after confirming that no soul beasts were chasing them anymore.
"Good lad, today was truly thrilling." Chrysanthemum Douluo, panting, turned to look at Su Yun beside him, whose complexion was a bit unsightly, and grinned, "But getting that Azure Forest Heart, this adventure was indeed worth it."
Gliding through the air at high speed with Chrysanthemum Douluo, even though Su Yun's physical condition was stronger than that of an ordinary soul master, he still felt a bit of discomfort in his chest.
After his complexion eased slightly, Su Yun took out the exquisitely beautiful Azure Forest Heart from his soul guide and handed it to Chrysanthemum Douluo, casually asking, "Grandpa Chrysanthemum, what do you intend to do with this Azure Forest Heart?"
Su Yun had read the original story, and at this point, no one from the Spirit Hall seemed to need the Azure Forest Heart.
After all, at this time according to the original timeline, Tang San had not yet joined the Shrek Academy and was in his "sneaky development" phase.
No one in the Spirit Hall was injured and on the brink of death; who needed this thing?
"Hey! Such a unique treasure is truly hard to come by. If old man is out here looking for it, naturally it is by the decree of the Pope." Chrysanthemum Douluo chuckled.
Bibi Dong?
Su Yun was somewhat puzzled.
Could it be the risks of the Rakshasa God trial required this treasure for an extra layer of insurance?
Seeing the puzzled look on Su Yun's face, Chrysanthemum Douluo chuckled, "Actually, it's not for the Pope herself."
Chrysanthemum Douluo lowered his voice slightly and softly said, "It's said to be a secret need of the Worship Hall, which our people caught wind of."
"The Pope intends to use this item as a bargaining chip to suppress the Worship Hall in the future."
The Worship Hall?
A current of electricity suddenly flashed through Su Yun's mind!
The sudden guess made him involuntarily shrink his pupils and take a sharp breath.
He remembered from the original story that Qian Daoliu once said he had waited over a hundred years to initiate the ninth trial of the angel, ultimately sacrificing himself in the process!
"Hiss—"
"So that's it, no wonder the Worship Hall is secretly looking for such a life-saving treasure." Su Yun marveled inwardly.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, not noticing Su Yun's reaction, stored the Azure Forest Heart and nodded, "Now is a good time to see if there are suitable soul beasts for you here."
"It's just a pity about those Ghost Vine tribe's soul rings. I deliberately held back a bit earlier, hoping to give you a chance to deliver the final blow and harvest the soul ring."
"Unfortunately, those soul beasts intercepted us, truly a pity."
Su Yun spread his hands in helplessness, but comparatively, they had made a profit from this trip.
The matter of his own soul ring could wait a bit longer.
Thus, taking advantage of the early hour, Su Yun and Chrysanthemum Douluo set off again in search of soul beasts.
Finally, this time fortune did not waste Su Yun's time.
In just an hour, in a dark and dense forest, Su Yun found a Ghost King Vine, and it was one that had just evolved recently.
With Chrysanthemum Douluo's help, a black ten thousand year soul ring also floated up from the corpse of the Ghost King Vine into mid-air.
"Su Yun, although you are indeed stronger than others, this is after all a ten thousand year soul ring. I still have to remind you."
"If there is a problem, it's very likely that all the progress you've made in your cultivation could be lost." Chrysanthemum Douluo, ultimately unable to hold back, reminded Su Yun before he attempted to absorb the soul ring.
Upon hearing this, Su Yun did not show much worry on his face but instead lightly laughed and replied, "Grandpa Chrysanthemum, don't worry. I have great fortune; a mere ten thousand year soul ring can't stop me."
In the original story, Tang San was able to absorb a ten thousand year soul ring because of his physique and the enhancement from the immortal herbs.
Su Yun believed that his body was far superior to Tang San's, and with a system as insurance, he naturally did not fear the newly entered ten thousand year black soul ring.
As his words fell, Su Yun immediately sat cross-legged next to the Ghost King Vine's soul ring, summoning his Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, while simultaneously activating his soul power to draw the soul ring closer.
"Let's begin." Silently uttering these words in his heart, Su Yun officially started to absorb the soul ring.
As the black soul ring gradually merged with the Blue Silver Emperor, in the martial soul space, Ah Yin also felt a pressure unique to a ten thousand year soul ring pressing towards Su Yun's body.
"Although it's a ten thousand year soul ring, it's just barely crossed the threshold of ten thousand years. It won't be easy to burst me," Ah Yin smiled confidently, not taking this soul ring lightly.
Thanks to the body strengthening from absorbing the two immortal herbs initially, and his cultivation of the Tai Yi Green Wood Technique to the inscription stage, Ah Yin could unreservedly accelerate the absorption of the Ghost King Vine's ten thousand year soul ring with the Blue Silver Emperor.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, guarding Su Yun, was astonished to see Su Yun absorbing the ten thousand year soul ring not only without any abnormality but smoothly.
Why was the situation different from what he expected?
Wasn't this kid supposed to endure hardships and suffer from the torment of the soul ring before successfully absorbing it?
Why did absorbing a ten thousand year soul ring at the fourth soul ring stage seem as simple as drinking water to him?
Chrysanthemum Douluo was puzzled and confused by Su Yun's smooth absorption, especially seeing the Blue Silver Emperor, which originally had golden threads flowing through its leaves, now spreading and growing numerous branches, gradually acquiring the properties of vines.
"His martial soul is evolving again. It possesses the nobility of the Blue Silver Emperor and the inclusiveness of the Blue Silver Grass, absorbing the advantages of other soul rings to strengthen itself," Chrysanthemum Douluo admired Su Yun's changing martial soul.
The time continued until evening, sunset.
The golden-red afterglow at the edge of the mountains cast the last ray of light on the Blue Silver Emperor in front of Su Yun, and his eyes finally opened!
At the same time, a suddenly intensified soul power fluctuation spread from his body, waking Chrysanthemum Douluo who was dozing off nearby.
"Level 42!" Su Yun expressed his excitement.
With higher soul power levels, the increase in soul power after absorbing a soul ring is limited. For example, after Tang San absorbed his fourth soul ring, his soul power was only raised to level 41.
Su Yun's advancement to level 42 likely was due to the high quality of the Ghost King Vine itself.
"Not bad, being able to raise your soul power to level 42 in one go shows that your soul ring, although not aged enough, is of good quality," Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded in satisfaction.
Su Yun, patting the air in flattery, said, "It's all thanks to Grandpa Chrysanthemum's discerning eye, finding this Ghost King Vine for me."
"Humph! Naturally," Chrysanthemum Douluo hummed. "If it were that old ghost taking you out, he definitely would've done a perfunctory job."
Truth be told, Chrysanthemum Douluo was quite fond of Su Yun. After all, both of their martial souls were among the top in the plant category, and with the latter's pleasant personality, his attitude towards Su Yun was at most tsundere.
After Su Yun absorbed the soul ring, Chrysanthemum Douluo planned to take him back to Spirit City as soon as possible.
However, just as Su Yun nodded in agreement to leave, a long-missed voice echoed in his ear.
"Mission issued!"

Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Mission Reward: The World! (Za Warudo!)
Chapter 128 Mission Reward: The World! (Za Warudo!)
Intercept the Eight Spider Lances?!
Su Yun's expression was shaken as he continued to read the content of the mission.
[Side Mission: Intercept the Eight Spider Lances!]
[Mission Content: Find and kill that special Man-Faced Demon Spider!]
[Time Limit: 24 hours]
[Mission Reward: Special Skill—The World]
[Skill Effect: Allows the user to stop time and move freely within the paused time, initially only for a moment.]
After reading the mission content and reward, Su Yun's eyes instantly reddened with excitement!
Even Ah Yin, upon seeing the skill reward displayed by the system, felt her heart racing uncontrollably.
Time stop!
Even having lived for a hundred thousand years, she had never heard of such a terrifying soul skill!
Wasn't this something only gods could do?
Could it be that this system was indeed created by a deity, as she had initially thought?
While Ah Yin speculated, Su Yun had already quietly said to her, "Sister Ah Yin, we must complete this mission!"
Ah Yin nodded, "Yes, you must obtain this terrifying skill, little Su Yun."
Stopping time, even if just for a moment, could turn the tide of battle!
"But the Star Dou Great Forest is so vast, finding the special Man-Faced Demon Spider mentioned in the system mission might be too difficult," Ah Yin said somewhat reluctantly.
The mission only mentioned a special Man-Faced Demon Spider, and Su Yun remembered from the original story that it was once injured by Meng Yiran, the granddaughter of the Dragon and the Snake Grandparents.
But at this point in time, Meng Yiran's whereabouts were unknown.
A thousand-year-level Man-Faced Demon Spider, if placed in a small forest, might be easier to find, but this was the largest soul beast forest on the continent!
With tens of thousands of thousand-year soul beasts, finding the Man-Faced Demon Spider mentioned in the mission was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Su Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Not only was finding the Man-Faced Demon Spider difficult, but the harder part was how to rid himself of Chrysanthemum Douluo's company.
If he suddenly proposed to stay behind, even if Chrysanthemum Douluo wouldn't say much, he would inevitably harbor some suspicion.
Without finding a reason to separate from him, it would be impossible to have time to search for a thousand-year soul beast alone.
Moreover, the system only gave him 24 hours!
Su Yun suddenly felt like the system was playing with him.
Just when Su Yun felt hopeless about the mission, he suddenly sensed that the aura of Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was carrying him in flight, had become much more solemn, and their flying speed seemed to have increased.
Su Yun's eyes shifted slightly, and he couldn't help asking, "Grandpa Chrysanthemum, has something happened?"
Su Yun's gaze fell on Chrysanthemum Douluo's face as he spoke, noticing that his expression seemed less relaxed than before, as if suddenly covered with a layer of gravity.
"Something is following us, and it's fast," Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly spoke, his tone becoming serious.
Su Yun sharply turned his head back.
Now, it was already night, but Chrysanthemum Douluo, fearing a prolonged ordeal, showed no intention of resting and continued to rush back.
However, the thing he had been worried about still happened. By the moonlight, Su Yun could vaguely see two or three small black dots jumping and flying in the distant forest canopy, coming towards their position.
Su Yun's eyes narrowed, and four words involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Thousand-Armed Ant Emperor.
Given the temper of these three brothers from the original story, if not suppressed by a 100,000-year soul beast, they indeed might not be willing to let it go and would try to snatch back the Azure Forest Heart from Chrysanthemum Douluo.
They were 90,000-year level soul beasts, and if it were a one-on-one fight, naturally, they could not do anything to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
But if the three brothers joined forces, they might indeed have the power to fight.
As expected, in less than ten minutes, the black dots in the distance got increasingly closer to Su Yun and Chrysanthemum Douluo, and the whistling wind passed by Su Yun, bringing with it the aura of soul beasts from behind.
Su Yun opened his eyes to look, and indeed, it was the Thousand Armed Ant Emperor, and three Thousand Armed Ant Emperors appeared at the same time!
The Thousand Armed Ant Emperor that was missing during the day and not seen by Su Yun had finally appeared!
"To snatch that Azure Forest Heart, three 90,000-year soul beasts are pursuing us simultaneously." Su Yun felt that he had underestimated the attraction of the item in their possession to soul beasts.
Chrysanthemum Douluo also sensed the familiar aura of soul beasts from behind and couldn't help but snort coldly: "As expected, it's those Thousand Armed Ant Emperors. When we left, I noticed that the gaze of those two Thousand Armed Ant Emperors towards me never changed."
"I thought they would be wary of my soul power, but they actually went back for reinforcements."
Though Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke disdainfully, the simultaneous appearance of three 90,000-year soul beasts meant even he had to be cautious.
Soul beasts, being stronger in physical form compared to humans, and although he was an aggressive Title Douluo with extremely powerful area-of-effect attacks,
Seeing the speed of these three 90,000-year soul beasts, in battle, if they coordinated well, it would indeed be a troublesome existence for him.
Thinking this, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but look at Su Yun, a hint of worry arising in his heart.
Compared to the 100,000-year Titan Great Ape, Chrysanthemum Douluo was not afraid to fight these three Thousand Armed Ant Emperors, but at his side was a "burden."
Su Yun was only at the strength of a Soul Ancestor now. Facing the Thousand Armed Ant Emperors, they could probably smash his proud physique with just a slap, so he absolutely couldn't leave him here.
"Su Yun, you go ahead and leave first, I will stay here to block them for you," Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly spoke as he stopped.
Su Yun was startled; he hadn't expected such an opportune pillow to come to him just as he was dozing off.
He had been wondering how to find an excuse to separate from Chrysanthemum Douluo, but now the latter had taken the initiative to suggest it. Although he was inwardly pleased, Su Yun still asked, "What about you, Grandpa Chrysanthemum?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo smiled, "If I were still at the 95th level of soul power, I naturally wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous, but now that I've stepped into the 96th level of soul power, if I'm still afraid of these three soul beasts, that would be a regression."
"Moreover, since I took the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum you gave me, although I've sparred with that old ghost a few times, it's always been unsatisfactory, feeling somewhat uncomfortable all over."
"Perhaps today's battle with these three soul beasts can help me resolve the last remnants of the medicinal power within my body!"
