Chapter 97 Next Plan
Sunset forest!

Chen Yuan walked into the shadows alone, and the ghost leopard hiding in the shadows also walked out without fear.

This type of ferocious soul beast at the predator level has never had the habit of exposing its back easily. Generally speaking, when facing an enemy whose strength is unknown, it will first use intimidation to defeat the enemy without fighting, then fight to the death, and finally escape. This is the worst strategy.

At this moment, facing Chen Yuan, whose strength was unclear, the ghost leopard let out a roar that shook all directions and captivated everyone. Coupled with its ferocious face like a ghost, ordinary people might really be scared by it.

Chen Yuan was not frightened, but he was not careless either. He directly summoned his martial soul. With a flash of white light, the Seven Killing Sword appeared in his hand, and four soul rings rose under his feet, one yellow, two purple and one black.

As soon as his martial spirit appeared, his aura surged, like a sharp sword being unsheathed.

As a soul beast, the ghost leopard is extremely sensitive to danger. At this moment, its heart trembled and it had the urge to escape, but it did not want to expose its back easily, so it decided to launch an attack to bluff its escape.

"Roar!"

The ghost leopard let out a roar, stomped its four claws, and instantly charged forward. The aura on its body became stronger and stronger, and finally, it became like a dark energy that was as solid as a substance, wrapping its body inside to form a black blade of light, which cut towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan remained calm upon seeing this. He raised the Seven Killing Sword, exhaled and shouted, then swung it out fiercely, cutting out a sharp sword energy that tore through the air, whistled, and hit the black light blade.

With a bang, the intertwined energy swept over, strong winds spread, and the huge force directly blew the ghost leopard away.

Chen Yuan stepped on the ground and quickly rushed out, catching up with the ghost leopard at an extremely fast speed, before the ghost leopard could react.

"The first soul skill, long sword attack!"

Chen Yuan used his first soul skill, and air currents wrapped around the Seven Kill Sword, doubling its sharpness and increasing its attack power by 40%. The chilling aura was enough to make the Ghost Leopard's hair stand on end.

Then he slid forward, he didn't want to kill the ghost leopard, he wanted to capture it. With a sliding tackle, he faced the ghost leopard's exposed soft belly, and Chen Yuan swung the Seven Killing Sword in his hand repeatedly.

With a flash of cold light, the ghost leopard's limbs were directly chopped off by Chen Yuan. He also cut a long and narrow cut in its abdomen, and its internal organs and blood continued to gush out.

With a bang, the ghost leopard fell heavily to the ground. At this time, it was breathing out more than breathing in, and was completely on the verge of death.

The ghost leopard felt very regretful. In this forest, it had an inexhaustible supply of food, so why did it come here to provoke this monster?

"Woo~~"

The ghost leopard whimpered, just wanting to be dead. Without its limbs, it was already a useless beast. The wound in its abdomen continued to cause waves of severe pain, making it feel worse than death.

Then, Chen Yuan lifted it up by the scruff of its neck, quickly returned to the previous position, threw the ghost leopard to the ground, and said to Zhu Zhuqing:

"Zhu Qing, this ghost leopard should be very suitable for you. Its ability to condense dark energy into light blades is a very good single-target attack spirit skill."

Seeing Chen Yuan easily defeat a nearly 5000-year-old soul beast that was as powerful as the Howling Moon Wolf, Zhu Zhuqing knew that she was still far from being as powerful.

Then, she once again possessed her martial spirit, came to the ghost leopard and broke its throat with one claw. Soon, the ghost leopard died completely, and tremendous energy flowed out of its body, gradually condensing into a purple soul ring.

Then, after Zhu Zhuqing sat down, she summoned the purple soul ring to float to her body and merged into her body. She also began to absorb the soul ring. The soul rings that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing needed were almost obtained at the same time. Chen Yuan was also very happy about this and said to Dugu Yan:

"Yanyan, we are the only ones left now. You need a ten thousand year old soul beast, and I need a forty thousand year old soul beast. We don't have many choices left in this Sunset Forest."

Dugu Yan also nodded. In the Sunset Forest, the number of soul beasts over ten thousand years old could be counted on one's fingers. There was really not much room for choice. She said:

"Wait for Rongrong and Zhuqing to wake up. They will rest here tonight. Tomorrow we will go to Grandpa's retreat place. I will invite Grandpa out first. With Grandpa's support, there will be no danger in hunting the ten thousand year soul beast."

Chen Yuan's voice was a little solemn:

"The soul beasts I want should preferably be powerful and rare, so that they can bring me amazing gains and powerful soul skills. Perhaps, Rongrong and Zhuqing, who have already obtained soul rings, can be sent back to the academy temporarily, and go directly to the Xingdou Great Forest."

Duguyan came over, took Chenyuan's arm, and said with a smile:

"Well, I'll go with you."

In a few words, they discussed the next plan, and then waited until late at night, and several hours passed quickly.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing woke up one after another, just like they absorbed their spirit rings.

After Ning Rongrong stood up, she stretched hard and successfully absorbed the soul ring. Not only did she break through the bottleneck and become a four-ring soul master, her physical fitness also improved comprehensively. Now she feels everything is great.

Without waiting for Chen Yuan, Dugu Yan asked, and Ning Rongrong smiled and said:
"Just like what Brother Chen Yuan said, my fourth soul skill is an amplification of attack, and the amplification effect is 50%. In addition, the amplification effect of my previous three soul skills, strength, speed, and soul power, also reached 50%. My current soul power is level , but the power of the soul ring I absorbed is very strong. I feel that it won't take long for me to break through to level again."

Chen Yuan had anticipated this, and then said:
"The Nine Treasures Glazed Tower will become more and more powerful as you advance, but it will also consume more and more soul power. Rongrong, you must practice the distraction control method that the sect master has given you to improve your mastery."

Ning Rongrong nodded obediently after hearing this. This was a 50% increase. If she used all her strength to increase the power of others, it wouldn't take long before her own soul power was exhausted. Even if she didn't mention Chen Yuan, she still had to practice the distraction control method.

At this time, Zhu Zhuqing also stood up. Chen Yuan looked at her and asked:
"Zhu Qing, how do you feel? Are you satisfied with the spirit skills you obtained?"

Zhu Zhuqing smiled and nodded heavily:

"I feel good. With my soul power at level 41, it shouldn't take long for me to break through again. My fourth soul skill is Nether Slash, a very powerful single-target attack soul skill. With the first-hand control of my third soul skill and the single-target attack of my fourth soul skill, I am confident that I can defeat a soul lord of the same level in an instant. If I face a soul king, I might be able to severely injure him by taking him by surprise."

This is already very impressive. Chen Yuan is so powerful because he has magnified his advantages step by step. The whale glue he has eaten since he was a child, the spirit rings he absorbed beyond his level, the golden feather wings that are external spirit bones, the one hundred thousand year old right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor, the dragon ball soul core that can grow like an external spirit bone, and the Chen family's unique skills that he has practiced with great effort have made him so powerful today.

A normal soul master, upon entering the fourth-ring soul sect, can severely injure a fifth-ring soul king. This is truly amazing.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said:
"Rongrong, Zhuqing, you have already obtained spirit rings. I will send you back to the academy tomorrow. As for Yanyan and I, we both need ten thousand year spirit rings. We will probably have to go to the Xingdou Great Forest again."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, although not very willing to accept this, nodded in agreement. They were not strong enough and would easily become a burden when facing a ten thousand year old soul beast.
