Along the way, Ye Qifeng saw with his own eyes many ten-year and century-level soul beasts, and also encountered several thousand-year-level soul beasts. Almost all of these soul beasts were recorded in the spirit beast collection directory of Wuhun Palace.
Bibi Dong also introduced the detailed information of these soul beasts to Ye Qifeng one by one, including their names, habits, weaknesses, how to identify their age, etc...
Ye Qifeng was eye-opening and amazed.
After all, the knowledge about soul beasts obtained from books is relatively simple after all. If you want to understand soul beasts in depth, it is better to experience it in person and to have the words and deeds of the teachers on site.
When encountering the soul beast, the three of them did not choose to avoid it.
Nihuang's body always exudes a faint powerful aura, and these soul beasts do not dare to approach easily. After sensing the danger, they will flee far away.
Although soul beasts below the ten thousand year level have no intelligence, they have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Of course, there were occasionally blind soul beasts that would attack the three of them without any care. The result was one thing that could be imagined - they would be ignited by Nihuang's fire and burnt to ashes.
A quarter of an hour later.
The three of them found a leeward spot with flat terrain suitable for camping.
Nihuangti gathered his soul power, swept away the surrounding thorns, and leveled an open space. He first sprinkled some special powder to repel snakes, insects, rats, and ants around it, and then began to set up a tent.
Among the three, Bibi Dong is the Pope and has a distinguished status, while Ye Qifeng is the Holy Son and is still young, so the hard work can only be left to Nihuang.
Seeing Nihuang busy up and down, Ye Qifeng felt a little embarrassed. He stepped forward to help: "Sister Ninth, let me help you!"
Nihuang smiled in astonishment and said, "No, Xiaofeng, just have a good rest. Sister can come alone. This is a trivial matter for sister."
"It's okay, I'm free now anyway." Ye Qifeng replied.
"Okay, but you have to be careful not to get hurt by the tent's frame." Nihuang said with a smile.
After a short time, a tent was set up by two people.
At this time, the sun had completely set, the red clouds on the horizon disappeared, and night fell.
The forest suddenly fell into darkness, and it was almost impossible to see.
The jungle of the Star Forest is lush and dense, and the branches and leaves of the tall trees block the sky above. Only sporadic starlight occasionally shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves that are swayed by the wind.
Ye Qifeng was not a soul master at this time and could not achieve night vision like Bibi Dong and Ni Huang.
Looking forward, he could only see deep black, and it was difficult for him to see clearly even the figures of Bibi Dong and Ni Huang who were so close at hand.
But the surroundings were not quiet. In the forest, insects and birds were chirping, and the roars and roars of spirit beasts continued to sound, one after another.
This is the Starry Forest at night, and the activities of the soul beasts will never stop for a moment.
Deep within humanity, dangers abound.
However, Ye Qifeng did not feel scared or frightened because of being in the dark. Instead, he felt very strange. Because with Teacher Bibi Dong and Ninth Sister Nihuang, two titled Douluo, there was no need to worry about their lives.
At this time, there was a soft bang, and a flame rose in Nihuang's hand.
This is the ability of Nihuang Wuhun. The soul power comes with top-notch fire attributes.
The flames formed by the condensed soul power emitted a clear firelight, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Bibi Dong glanced at the flame in Nihuang's hand with her beautiful eyes, thought for a moment, and took out a shining white orb from the soul guide, and said to Nihuang:
"Nihuang, I have lighting orbs here. There is no need to waste your soul power. Put them away and save some soul power."
"Okay." Seeing this, Nihuang flipped his wrist and put away the flames.
The surrounding yellow-orange firelight was instantly replaced by the bright white light of daylight.
Bibi Dong turned to look at Ye Qifeng, preparing to teach him some knowledge he needed to pay attention to in the forest:
"Xiao Feng, what the teacher wants to tell you is that normally, when sleeping in a forest at night, especially a forest like the Star Dou Forest where soul beasts live, you should try not to emit any light, especially firelight."
"Although most wild beasts and spirit beasts are afraid of fire, there are also many particularly powerful spirit beasts that like light, unless..."
"Unless you are as powerful as Teacher and Ninth Sister, right?" Ye Qifeng took over and said.
Bibi Dong smiled in astonishment, nodded and said:
"Yes, unless your own cultivation is strong enough, you should not be like Teacher and Nihuang."
"This time it's because the teacher and Nihuang are here to keep you safe. If the teacher is not around you one day, you have to remember and try not to get angry."
"Okay, teacher." Ye Qifeng replied.
"Okay," Bibi Dong said, "Let's have dinner first."
After speaking, Bibi Dong took out a small dining table and three chairs from the soul guide, and then took out the food.
The food was quite sumptuous. It was prepared by Bibi Dong, who ordered the administrative chef of the Wuhun Hall's logistics department. It was made by several soul saints from the food department.
"Nihuang, come and sit down and eat." Bibi Dong said to Nihuang.
"Yes, His Majesty the Pope." Nihuang was a little flattered.
The three of them didn't eat much, and dinner ended quickly.
Bibi Dong looked at Ye Qifeng with her beautiful eyes and asked, "Xiao Feng, do you have any ideas about which of your two martial souls you should add a soul ring to first? Please tell me."
Upon hearing this, Nihuang also cast her beautiful and charming eyes towards Ye Qifeng, with curiosity in her eyes.
"Well," Ye Qifeng replied, "Teacher, Sister Ninth, I have already thought about it. Considering that dark attribute soul beasts are easier to find than light attribute soul beasts, I plan to add soul rings to the shadow martial soul first."
Nihuang nodded and said: "It makes sense. Light attribute soul beasts and dark attribute soul beasts are relatively rare. Especially light attribute soul beasts are much rarer than dark attribute soul beasts. It is a good choice to practice the shadow martial soul first. .”
Bibi Dong also nodded, and then she said:
"According to the classification of soul masters in Douluo Continent, they can be divided into control system, power attack system, agility attack system, auxiliary system, food system, defense system, treatment system, pure agility system, etc."
"After a soul master awakens his martial soul, everyone must choose one of the directions to practice."
Bibi Dong frowned and thought for a while, then said to Ye Qifeng:
"Xiao Feng, according to the teacher, the suitable directions for your shadow martial spirit are power attack, control, agility and defense. However, the teacher recommends that you go to the power attack or control system. What do you think?"
Nihuang also nodded lightly and agreed with Bibi Dong's suggestion.
"Well," Ye Qifeng nodded and smiled at the two of them, "Actually, teacher, your views are similar to mine, but..."
"Just what?" Bibi Dong raised her eyes and looked at Ye Qifeng.
Nihuang also looked at him, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Ye Qifeng said: "Teacher, Sister Ninth, I am not going to go through a certain series alone. I am going to flexibly choose between the power attack system, the control system and the agility attack system according to my own needs."
Nihuang's eyes showed surprise, and she said worriedly:
"Xiao Feng, do you mean you want fellow practitioners from the third element? If this is the case, will it lead to lack of damage, insufficient control, and insufficient speed..."
Bibi Dong also nodded, frowning slightly and said:
"Nihuang is right. You must know that each martial spirit can only have nine soul ring positions at most. Under normal circumstances, each soul skill needs to occupy one soul ring position."
"Although the three series of fellow practitioners are relatively balanced, the soul ring skills must be allocated to different series. This will cause each series to have shortcomings, and it will be difficult to achieve the ultimate level like one series alone."
"This is why the soul master community recommends that soul masters only choose one direction to develop. Xiaofeng, you..."
"Teacher, Sister Ninth, you can rest assured on this." Ye Qifeng said at this time, "I have taken everything you said into consideration."
Ye Qifeng naturally took Bibi Dong and Nihuang's worries into consideration. The reason why the master community recommended that soul masters only choose one direction to develop is because the strength of soul masters in Douluo Continent almost comes from the skills given by soul rings.
Although there are still soul bones that can give soul masters soul skills, soul bones are extremely rare in the Douluo Continent and are something that can only be encountered but not sought. Even some titled Douluo may not have a soul bone.
But this is not absolute. There are also some secret techniques, techniques or self-created soul skills that can also enhance strength.
For example, the Haotian Nine Secret Techniques, the Great Sumeru Hammer, and the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique of the Haotian Sect, the distracted control and ring fusion techniques of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the True Dragon Nine Crowns inherited secret treasure skills of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and Tang San’s Hidden weapon techniques, etc. are all skills that are outside the category of soul skills.
Therefore, the source of strength is not only the soul skills conferred by soul rings, soul bones, etc.
It's just that human lifespan is short, and a soul master spends almost all of his life improving his soul power. Almost no one is willing to spend time studying secret methods, techniques, and self-created soul skills.
Because by obtaining the soul ring, you can easily obtain the skills you want and enhance your strength.
Many sect forces only focus on research on the inheritance of martial spirits and the acquired soul skills.
Therefore, on the Douluo Continent, there are almost only a handful of special skills that enhance strength.
