Douluo: I am ready to leave the Spirit Hall. The system will come.

Chapter 110 Sixth Soul Ring (Part )

While writing the reply, You Chen also analyzed a piece of information from Yan's letter.

"It seems that the Spirit Hall has really calmed down the storm of the "Masked Man". Even Yan from the Golden Generation left a year and a half ago and has only returned now, so he doesn't know this information."

You Chen couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth into a smile.

pat.

Putting down the pen, You Chen stretched lazily, squinted at the sun, and showed a somewhat contented smile.

After a year and a half, You Chen was naturally in a good mood when he received the letter from his beloved disciple.

'It's time to get the sixth soul ring.'

You Chen thought so.

It must be said that the timing was a bit coincidental. Just a few days before Yan's letter was delivered, he happened to break through to level 60. If it weren't for the need to confirm the target soul beast's information and location changes, You Chen might have been one step ahead and would not be able to read the letter with his original body.

The scene changed, and one day later, You Chen had already arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

Rarely, he only kept Youxing's incarnation in Nottingham City.

Just by dividing one's mind and one parallel consciousness, the pressure on You Chen was greatly reduced, and he could move around in the Star Dou Great Forest for about a week.

However, You Chen would never take such a risk in the past, which shows how important it is for him to obtain the sixth ring.

Of course, for any soul master in this world, every time they obtain a new soul ring and break through a new realm, it is a big event.

In this sense, the importance of the sixth ring to You Chen is not as great as that to ordinary soul masters. What he values ​​is only raising his soul power level to a higher level. Everything else can be said to be incidental.

The reason why seven days have to be reserved is related to You Chen’s hunting target this time.

Not all soul beasts, especially those over ten thousand years old, have a small activity range like the Earth Fire Dragon before, and they do not move much for most of the year.

Especially, You Chen's targets in these few rounds are all wind-attributed soul beasts. These soul beasts generally move very fast and have a correspondingly large range of activities.

His target this time is called "Archaeopteryx", which has a rather domineering name. In fact, it is a soul beast with some ancient bloodline. This kind of soul beast is generally referred to as "ancient soul beast" in the soul master world, and they generally possess impressive combat power.

Of course, the present is not necessarily worse than the past. Considering that the number of ancient soul beasts is becoming increasingly scarce, they are actually a kind of soul beast that is constantly being eliminated by the natural environment and is on the verge of extinction.

You Chen had already made plans for his large sixth and seventh soul rings, and the time was not as tight as for the fifth ring, so he was naturally well prepared.

The target was chosen very early - a 70,000-year-old Archaeopteryx.

Originally, You Chen's sixth ring could only last for 50,000 years at most, but because he obtained the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power, his physical body and spirit were far superior to those of ordinary soul kings, so the optimal lifespan of this soul ring was naturally greatly increased.

Youchen's actual target has already been changed once.

Then half a year ago, he finally confirmed the approximate activity range of this Archaeopteryx through the intelligence network.

The main activity area of ​​this Archaeopteryx is undoubtedly the inner mixed zone, but because of its habit of not liking to stay in a fixed place for a long time and its mobility, it will occasionally run to the outer circle to hunt.

Such a wide range of activities explains why You Chen had to set aside a week specifically.

Most of the time was spent searching for the location of the Archaeopteryx.

In addition, the strength of this Archaeopteryx is infinitely close to that of Contra. Even if it is found, it is difficult to guarantee that it can be captured in one go.

You Chen himself didn't even think that everything would go smoothly on the first hunt.

And so it is.

In the fourth operation after the third round trip between Notting City and the Star Forest, You Chen finally saw the target for the first time.

“Slurp slurp~”

A beautiful bird that seemed to be wearing a colorful cloak was drinking water by the lake, making some strange chirping sounds.

This big bird is over three meters tall, but its height makes it look a little small compared to its cultivation level.

It really looks like a treasure born from heaven and earth, with a beauty carved by nature.

In fact, Archaeopteryx feathers have always been a luxury item at auctions and have been admired by countless aristocrats. Perhaps it is for this reason that they have died out so quickly and have become an endangered species today.

You Chen, who was observing with bated breath in secret, had no intention of contributing to the ecological balance at all.

He just took various status-enhancing pills in advance and silently waited for the best time to take action.

One, two, three, four... Including the three starlight incarnations and Youchen himself, a total of four figures maintained a state of completely restraining their breath at the same time.

This means that You Chen simply does not have the extra energy to enter a state of super concentration.

At such a close distance, given the animals' natural sensitivity to danger, You Chen couldn't say for sure how much a non-perfect level of Breath-Concealing Technique could conceal.

Considering that the Archaeopteryx might end its rest and fly away at any time, You Chen did not intend to continue waiting for the best opportunity which might not even appear, and chose to take action directly!
Woo——.

Almost at the same time, four air columns were shot out at the same time, especially the one shot by Youchen himself, which was the fastest and most powerful!
The Archaeopteryx is indeed a top-notch wind-type soul beast with outstanding reaction ability, which is far beyond the reach of the white swan that You Chen almost killed instantly with one strike. Even with such an instantaneous attack, there is still plenty of reaction time.

However, You Chen already knew this before formulating the hunting plan.

Therefore, his joint attack with his clone this time was not intended to maximize power, but to block Archaeopteryx's route of movement as much as possible!
puff--.

Of the four attacks, two completely missed, one was mostly avoided, and only one was completely hit! Unfortunately, the attack launched by Youchen himself was what Archaeopteryx was most focused on avoiding, and it successfully dodged it!
The power of the Wind Dragon's Roar performed by the incarnation is directly reduced by a level. If the Wind Dragon's Roar of the soul ring soul skill is a move that can severely injure or even kill the Soul Emperor or threaten the Soul Sage with one blow, then the blow of the incarnation is at the level of severely injuring the Soul King or threatening the Soul Emperor.

So even if it hit the target completely, it would only cause some damage to the Archaeopteryx.

However, because the part that was hit was a wing of the Archaeopteryx, its maneuverability was affected to a certain extent.

This is the best news for You Chen.

Swish——.

While Archaeopteryx was dodging You Chen's attack, he had already approached and came in front of Archaeopteryx. His deep eyes met Archaeopteryx's eyes at a very close distance.

The Soul-Shocking Technique!

Eyes are the windows to the soul, and looking each other in the eye is the way to maximize the power of this move!
In an instant, the eyes of the Archaeopteryx were filled with two dark suns. The scene that seemed like the end of the world made the Archaeopteryx fall into a daze for a moment.

Before Arc'teryx could come to its senses, You Chen's real killer move had already arrived!
"The wind and clouds are moving!"

The self-created soul skill that had successfully proven its effectiveness on the Earth Fire Dragon and was comparable to soul skills of at least 50,000 years was successfully used.

You Chen's target this time was not the Archaeopteryx's head, but still its injured wing.

As his fists fell, the sky changed, and endless waves of air surged, Archaeopteryx came back to its senses under the severe pain and let out an extremely shrill scream.

If Feng Yundong completely swallowed You Chen's power, even an ordinary Soul Douluo would be injured.

The soul beast's body was stronger, but Archaeopteryx had indeed suffered serious injuries.

'This kid is dangerous!'

Recalling You Chen's strange methods and powerful boxing skills, Archaeopteryx immediately came up with this idea and turned around to escape without hesitation. However, at the same time, the three clones simultaneously unleashed the Storm Airflow. The power of this soul skill was far less than the roar of the wind dragon, but the binding effect was indeed good.

But this time it wants to restrain a 70,000-year-old soul beast!
Such restraint can only delay the movement of Archaeopteryx for a moment. Those slightly weaker soul masters cannot even catch this little delay.

But for You Chen, this gap is enough.

He once again met the eyes of Archaeopteryx and used the Soul Shocking Technique! Then the wind and clouds moved!

However, while mental killing moves are extremely versatile and fast, their most notable feature is that they easily lead to patience!
The same mental stimulation, if applied twice or three times in a short period of time, can greatly shorten the damage and control time!
Before You Chen's wind and cloud movement was completed, Archaeopteryx woke up, and despite its injuries, it forced its way into the sky.

However, You Chen was unable to change the attack direction of his fist in a hurry, which greatly reduced the power of Fengyundong, which required perfect harmony, and ultimately allowed Archaeopteryx to escape.

You Chen's dark eyes stared at the flying Archaeopteryx, his expression calm and he had no intention of chasing it.

He returned to the temporary base of the Soul Fighting Beast outside the Star Dou Great Forest, and after instructing some people to track the traces of Archaeopteryx, he chose to return to Notting City.

Archaeopteryx was seriously injured, while You Chen seemed to be unscathed - after all, Archaeopteryx didn't have time to attack from beginning to end - but the successive outbursts in a short period of time were also a huge drain on his mental strength, which caused his stay time to reach the limit ahead of schedule, and he had to return to recuperate.

During the intervals between hunts, You Chen also began to reflect on himself and review his past.

The first is the problem of the Soul-Shocking Technique. The difference in the duration of the shock between the two uses is too great. The consumption of his mental energy also directly cuts off the possibility of him continuing the pursuit.

Then there is Fengyundong. He has decided to focus his main efforts on the Soul Power Borrowing Technique in the past few years, so Youchen has not had time to make too many optimizations to Fengyundong, which also caused the pre-swing of this move to be too long...

'Unless there is a flash of inspiration, these two major problems cannot be improved in just a few days.'

However, this flash of inspiration is the most important resource for studying the soul power borrowing method, and You Chen does not want to use it easily.

Soon, You Chen had a solution.

'Now that they have been weakened, the risk to the Soul Fighting Beasts facing Archaeopteryx has been greatly reduced. The current Black Fire Crossbow is enough to injure Archaeopteryx. The combined effect of more and less is no less than my output.'

You Chen quickly gave the order.

With the speed of the soul master, a week is enough to cross the border and complete the rendezvous.

Soon, the Soul Beasts completed their assembly once again.

Compared to the last gathering, only a year and a half has passed, and the Soul Beasts have not changed much.

However, the good news is that there are two more Soul Masters in the team.

Amona and Kui both successfully obtained the ten thousand year soul ring and broke through to the realm above level 40.

“Although I feel sorry to mobilize everyone again after only a year and a half, I really need your help this time.”

You Chen's slight bow triggered a wave of excitement among the Soul Fighting Beasts, and many of them felt honored to be able to share the worries of their leader.

Although You Chen has always arranged a lot of work for the Soul Fighting Beasts, in fact, most of those tasks are not directly related to You Chen himself, and are basically carried out for the growth and development of the organization itself.

Therefore, many Soul Fighting Beasts have always believed that they are working hard for themselves, and You Chen is not a capitalist who oppresses them, but a benefactor who provides them with countless opportunities!

Therefore, they have always been eager to truly help You Chen and share his worries and solve his problems.

Even Ignis, who had been promoted to the head of the beast, was excited when he heard this.

"Next, Ignis, the specific arrangements of the operation will be left to you." After You Chen finished bowing, unlike in the past, he directly handed over the subsequent assigned tasks to Ignis.

Ignis was slightly startled, but did not show any panic. Instead, she walked confidently to the position where You Chen had made way.

Over the past year and a half, Ignis has successfully taken on tasks of all sizes as a leader and has become very familiar with them.

Although it was the first time that she took the lead in front of You Chen, driven by a sense of mission, Ignis was excited but not panicked.

She said loudly: "In this operation, what we have to do is very simple, that is, to use the Black Fire Crossbow to cause as much damage as possible to the target Archaeopteryx, and at the same time... to protect ourselves! Remember, our personal strength is not worth mentioning in front of this monster with 70,000 years of cultivation. If we hit it, we will die, and if we are scratched, we will be injured! What the leader needs is that we preserve our useful bodies and continue to serve the leader, the organization, and a better future, instead of being too hot-blooded and giving up our lives for no reason!"

After Ignis finished speaking, she looked at the crowd and saw that they had calmed down from their frenzy. She put on a serious face and nodded, "Now, let's start explaining the specific arrangements. Grace, you go ahead!"

As Ignis retreated to You Chen's side, Grace walked out of the team, and the people below still had respectful expressions on their faces.

It is true that Ignis took over the job of leader smoothly, but she also gave a large part of her power to Grace.

With You Chen's instructions, Grace had half removed from her maid job and became the other half of Ignis.

Grace already had some experience in related matters. Now that she has come to the front, she has handled many tasks in an orderly manner, and naturally won the recognition and respect of everyone.

If the Soul Beasts did not dare to disrespect Grace in the past because she was the leader's personal maid, now it is because of Grace herself.

You Chen watched the process and nodded slightly.

At present, both Ignis and Grace are doing well, so he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

After Grace finished her instructions and completed the preliminary exercises, You Chen and the Soul Beasts once again stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest together.

Archaeopteryx was seriously injured, which resulted in a significant decrease in its mobility and a significant reduction in its range of activities.

In addition, You Chen pointed out the direction a week ago, which narrowed the search range for the Soul Fighting Beasts. It would be impossible not to lose the trace of Archaeopteryx at least in a short period of time.

Perhaps because it was injured, it was not only afraid of human soul masters, but also more afraid of other soul beasts that might smell the scent. So the Archaeopteryx flew to the outer circle to rest and recuperate.

however……

Before they reach their destination, an unexpected visitor shows up.

A middle-aged man with a fat body, a neat black beard, and noble clothes led a team of spirit masters dressed in military uniforms to block the road and said, "Hoohoo, my friends, I'm very sorry, stop ahead, stop ahead, we are hunting spirit rings, to prevent some conflicts that neither of us want to see, please leave."

pat.

The noble middle-aged man snapped his fingers, and several soul masters in military uniforms came out carrying a few figures.

After seeing those familiar faces with scars and bruises on their bodies, the Soul Fighting Beasts all looked gloomy.

The noble middle-aged man turned a blind eye to this and said with a smile: "If you are willing to cooperate, I will naturally forgive the offense of these children who accidentally entered our hunting area."

The matter is very clear.

The Soul Beasts' attempt to inquire about Archaeopteryx's intelligence was discovered by some people with ulterior motives. They did not take action immediately, but chose to reap the benefits only after confirming that Archaeopteryx had been weakened. They even captured the Soul Beasts that were tracking Archaeopteryx as hostages.

There are only a handful of forces that can do this. You Chen looked at the middle-aged man's face and guessed his origins.

Marquis Shanya, who comes from the far east of the Xing Luo Empire, is a Soul Sage with top strength who is said to be able to rival Soul Douluo.

The only person who could make such a figure guard and protect him and help him hunt for spirit rings could be the person that Marquis Shanya is clinging to, the direct descendant of Duke Antonio.

You Chen did not directly answer the question of Marquis Shanya. Instead, he turned to look at Ignis and said, "This guy is Marquis Shanya. So, the one who is hunting the Archaeopteryx and wants to use it as his spirit ring is most likely the legitimate son of Duke Antonio, the next Duke Antonio. Conservatively estimated, the other party has at least three top spirit saints. This is the information I deduced. So, after knowing this information, make your decision, Ignis."

Obviously, even though it was a matter concerning his important sixth soul ring, You Chen still regarded it as a test for Ignis.

How should the leadership of a force make decisions when faced with threats or conflicts of interest from other major forces?
Compared to the previous minor fights, now is the time to truly test whether Ignis is qualified as a leader.
