For a period of time, Yang Xiong trained extensively in the Sunset Forest, basically traveling everywhere and encountering various soul beasts.
However, with Yang Xiong's current soul power level, he basically ran for his life whenever he saw a high-level soul beast. Since his First Soul Skill, Dark Tortoise Displacement, allowed him to Teleport, as long as he didn't encounter a soul beast that was too fast, he could leave immediately.
Especially after multiple training sessions, his Teleportation became more and more proficient. Even when truly in danger, using the Dark Tortoise Armor could help him evade the attacks of thousand-year soul beasts. As for ten-thousand-year soul beasts, as long as Yang Xiong felt something was off, he would leave immediately.
As for injuries, that was even less of a problem. Even if he was injured, after each escape, he could quickly recover by using his Second Soul Skill, Golden Heart. He could even instantly dispel poison from his body when attacked by a poison-attribute soul beast. This Second Soul Skill was indeed excellent, truly worthy of coming from the top-tier soul beast, the Golden Spirit Cypress.
The Sunset Forest indeed had a vast variety of soul beasts. Yang Xiong himself saw many excellent soul beasts that could potentially become his Soul Rings in the future. In particular, he discovered a Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon with a very high lifespan. Judging by its age, it exceeded eight thousand years, making it definitely a top-grade thousand-year soul beast. Unfortunately, Yang Xiong would need at least his fourth Soul Ring to absorb it.
However, he didn't know why, but although he encountered ten-thousand-year soul beasts multiple times, Yang Xiong was able to escape each time. These ten-thousand-year soul beasts didn't seem to pursue Yang Xiong too much, which was a bit strange.
Especially during a few desperate situations, the soul beasts chasing Yang Xiong seemed to be attracted away by something or scared away by something. He always felt that something was not right, as if someone was helping him eliminate certain fatal dangers.
However, during this training, Yang Xiong's improvement speed was also very fast, both in terms of combat experience and soul power increase.
Especially after experiencing extreme mental tension every day and then hiding to cultivate his soul power, the speed of his soul power increase was relatively fast. In just less than two months, Yang Xiong's soul power had already reached level twenty-five. It seemed this training was worth it.
...
In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but smile as he looked at the letter on the table.
"Uncle Bone, this kid Yang Xiong is quite good. He has been in the Sunset Forest for a full two months and can even improve his soul power through cultivation. It seems his talent is even better than we imagined."
Bone Douluo snorted coldly, "This kid is just courting death. If we hadn't arranged for someone to protect him in secret, I'm afraid he would have been killed by those ten-thousand-year soul beasts long ago."
Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "You underestimate this kid Yang Xiong. Even without someone protecting him in secret, he should be able to survive in the Sunset Forest. Although I arranged for the Ninth Elder to follow him in secret, it was only to secretly deter those ten-thousand-year soul beasts and help him resolve fatal threats. With his cultivation as a Soul Greatmaster, he has to face the attacks of thousand-year soul beasts on his own."
"You also know the Ninth Elder's personality. He is very reclusive in his actions and has no children. If he didn't truly value this kid, why would he care so much about Yang Xiong?"
Bone Douluo nodded, "With the Ninth Elder's protection, as long as this kid doesn't encounter a Titled Douluo level expert or a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, at least saving his life shouldn't be a problem."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, "The Ninth Elder sends back news every day. This child Yang Xiong hides himself quite deeply."
"Not only does he possess an External Soul Bone, but he also achieved thirteen consecutive victories in the Soul Duel Arena without relying on Soul Skills. Purely in terms of combat power, he probably has no opponent among Soul Greatmasters, enough to rival the genius of a top-grade Martial Soul like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Now he is surviving alone in the Sunset Forest. It seems I still underestimated him a bit."
"Uncle Bone, if you truly value this Yang Xiong, then you need to speed things up a bit. If you let him continue to grow like this, perhaps the Ninth Elder will even take him as a disciple."
Bone Douluo's face darkened upon hearing this, "Although this Yang Xiong performed well, he actually isn't following The Way of Defense, which is truly disappointing to me. I want to observe this kid a bit longer to see if he truly has the potential to protect our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"As for the Ninth Elder, no matter how strong he is, he is only a Soul Douluo. The gap between him and me is too great."
Ning Fengzhi just smiled without speaking. Regardless, it was a good thing for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to have a genius appear, especially since Yang Xiong performed even better than he had imagined. However, cultivating Yang Xiong from now on would likely require some effort.
From the first day Yang Xiong left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, someone had been following and protecting him in secret, and this person's strength was very formidable. This was also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's emphasis on outstanding geniuses, especially a genius like Yang Xiong who had made significant contributions to the sect multiple times.
Yang Xiong himself kept track of the dates and traveled through every relatively wide area in the entire Sunset Forest.
This morning, Yang Xiong arrived at a very strange place.
This was an inverted conical mountain depression, and it seemed that dense hot air was rising from within the depression. The entire depression seemed to be enveloped in a black-green aura, making it impossible to see the specific situation inside.
But just by staying far away, Yang Xiong felt that this green aura was highly poisonous, even faintly containing Ice and Fire attribute toxins.
Yang Xiong had been refining his body under Ice and Fire conditions for many years, and his body already had a certain degree of Ice and Fire immunity. He was also quite sensitive to these attributes.
At this moment, Yang Xiong was overjoyed. He had searched the entire Sunset Forest, and finally found his true objective this time.
"Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, this must be the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. I didn't expect to find all of this without any effort."
One must know that within the entire Douluo world, the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well is a place that can truly defy fate and change destiny, and it is also the greatest treasure on the entire Douluo Continent.
Although Yang Xiong had read many books over the years and learned a lot about medicinal herbs, he was still completely clueless about treating people and had no medical knowledge whatsoever.
Therefore, Yang Xiong had long since abandoned the path of obtaining Immortal Herbs by treating Dugu Bo.
Especially since Dugu Bo was a person of unpredictable moods, prone to killing at the slightest displeasure. He wouldn't care that Yang Xiong was an Inner Sect disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't truly offend Dugu Bo for Yang Xiong's sake.
As for approaching Dugu Yan, that was even more unrealistic. Not to mention that Dugu Yan was already Yu Tianheng's girlfriend, Dugu Bo hadn't given anything to his prospective son-in-law, Yu Tianheng. Otherwise, with Yu Tianheng's potential and background, consuming any Immortal Herb would definitely make him countless times stronger than he was now.
Don't say that Dugu Bo didn't recognize Immortal Herbs or anything like that. Dugu Bo himself had thought of numerous ways to remove the poison from his Martial Soul and had definitely read many of the Heaven Dou Empire's books on medicinal herbs.
Besides Immortal Herbs, the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well also contained many top-tier medicinal herbs, such as Ten Thousand Year Ginseng and Ten Thousand Year Snow Silkworm. Anyone with a slight understanding of medicine would know their value.
