Death Gobi.

This is a gathering place for soul beasts located outside the Stormwind Canyon, an environment similar to a desert, but with more rocks and relatively rare sand.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had reached level forty for some time, using it to hone their bodies, hoping to withstand higher-ranked soul rings.

During this time, Xiao Wu went back to the Star Dou Great Forest once and obtained a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring, which strengthened her legs. After her martial soul was possessed, a layer of white fur similar to dragon scales appeared on her legs, feeling extremely soft to the touch.

The fourth soul skill was a kicking ability, channeling soul power onto the white scales, greatly strengthening her legs, emitting bursts of lightning. Its power could penetrate ten centimeters of thick steel. Moreover, it also carried a trace of electric arc, which had a stronger destructive power on biological cells. It could paralyze enemies in battle and stimulate the thighs to increase cell activity, achieving dual benefits.

Xiao Wu named this soul skill: Lightning Flash.

As the name suggests, it was so fast that it was barely noticeable to the human eye. By the time one noticed it, they had already been hit by her.

After obtaining the fourth soul skill, Xiao Wu sparred with Tang San. When Tang San didn't use the Endless Grass Field, Xiao Wu could already gain some advantages.

As for Guang Ling's third soul ring, it came from a five-thousand-year Thunder Light Spider, a type of spider soul beast with the thunder attribute, capable of consuming magnetic iron minerals.

This soul beast gave her a soul skill where after shooting an arrow, it could differentiate and connect with thunder power, forming a soul skill called Thunder Light Aura.

Similar to the Crimson Gold Aura and the Golden Sun Aura, each use of the Thunder Light Aura would refine her martial soul with thunder power.

Now, Guang Ling's Sun Moon Divine Bow already had two attributes: light and lightning, and one characteristic: upgrade. That is, every time she used a soul skill, the Sun Moon Divine Bow would passively undergo refinement, continuously improving its quality.

If we count the attribute brought by the first soul ring, which was the Crimson Gold Aura, it also had the attribute of "gold".

"Third Brother, do you really have to find your fourth soul ring in this desolate place?"

Although Death Gobi was not as hot as the Infinite Desert, it was still quite dry, and Xiao Wu couldn't stand it a bit. "What about the Star Dou Great Forest, or the Sunset Forest? Aren't there any plant soul beasts you need in those lush hunting soul forests?"

"There are, but because the vegetation is too lush, it's harder to find." Tang San shook his head, "Especially in the Sunset Forest, there's a treasure trove there. Some plants inside are more suitable for making my soul rings, but it's not the time to contact them now, and I don't know if there will be a chance to contact them in the future."

"Is there a treasure trove in the Sunset Forest?" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. "How about this, after you find the suitable plant soul beast, we'll take advantage of the fact that the major advanced academies haven't recruited students yet and go to the Sunset Forest to explore? Don't worry, with me here, I'll guarantee the safety of both of you."

As a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form, Xiao Wu had the source of a hundred-thousand-year cultivation base and could release the aura of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. When soul beasts of ten-thousand and thousand-year levels sensed it, they would definitely be frightened away.

This was Xiao Wu's confidence.

However, Tang San said that not all ten-thousand-year soul beasts would be frightened away. Some peculiar soul beasts, like the Human Face Demon Spider, would not be scared away and might even take risks.

"Forget it, there's a Titled Douluo in that place. We're not suitable for conflict." Tang San shook his head and brought Xiao Wu and Guang Ling to a barren area.

Looking ahead, there were many round grass clumps. When the wind blew, they rolled up, looking very soft.

"What kind of grass is this?" Xiao Wu curiously picked up a clump and examined it for a while, then asked Tang San beside her.

"Wind-rolling grass," Tang San replied, "As the name suggests, when the wind blows, it rolls."

Tang San took the wind-rolling grass from Xiao Wu's hand and threw it on the ground, where it rolled with the wind. "Although these grasses look dead, they're actually alive. As long as there's water, they'll take root again, rejuvenate, bloom, bear fruit, and spread seeds. When it's dry again, the green branches and leaves will wither and shrink into a clump."

"This kind of grass only thrives in barren places like this Gobi, semi-arid grasslands. In other environments, they don't have space to grow because this kind of grass is edible, akin to a wild vegetable. If it were to grow in the Holy Spirit Village, it would probably be dug up by our villagers."

"And the plant soul beast I'm looking for is this wind-rolling grass."

Xiao Wu pondered for a moment and asked, "So, this wind-rolling grass has very strong vitality, which is beneficial for your Blue Silver Grass cultivation."

"That's right," Tang San said, "And, wind-rolling grass also has another name, Nine Lives Resurrection Grass. As long as it's not completely burned to ashes, it won't truly die. It's rumored that a hundred-thousand-year level Nine Lives Resurrection Grass is also called Sacred Soul Grass, which can manifest the soul."

"Is it powerful here?" Xiao Wu exclaimed.

"So, it's just a rumor," Tang San shook his head, "The Encyclopedia of Soul Beasts doesn't have detailed information recorded either. The ten-thousand-year level Nine Lives Resurrection Grass I'm looking for this time, if I'm unlucky, it may take quite a bit of time."

The three of them entered the Gobi and began searching for the ten-thousand-year level Nine Lives Resurrection Grass.

"Can we deal with ten-thousand-year plant soul beasts?" Xiao Wu asked worriedly.

"We can," Tang San said, "Ten-thousand-year level Nine Lives Resurrection Grass has no attack power. Its only strength lies in its concealment ability. Perhaps among these ordinary wind-rolling grasses, there's a ten-thousand-year level Nine Lives Resurrection Grass. This can be considered a relatively 'friendly' plant soul beast to humans."

Looking at the wind-rolling grasses all around, Tang San used his Purple Demon Eyes to probe for anomalies among these clumps of grass, while also educating Xiao Wu and Guang Ling, "The reason I chose Nine Lives Resurrection Grass as my fourth soul ring is to enhance my spiritual control ability. Nine Lives Resurrection Grass represents not only the vitality of wind-rolling grass but also its vast spiritual power."

"I hope that after my Blue Silver Emperor absorbs the soul ring of this soul beast, it can be better controlled, thereby enhancing the Endless Grass Field."

"As for soul skills, Spirit Hall of Nuoding City. Martial Soul Temple only mention a soul master who obtained a soul ring from Nine Lives Resurrection Grass and acquired a soul skill named 'Feigned Death', which allows oneself to enter a deep sleep, with barely any breath, even evading the perception of a Titled Douluo."

"And that soul master's martial soul isn't a plant, it's a White Wolf... I think you've guessed it too. He's a commoner soul master who doesn't understand any martial soul theory."

White Wolf, a beast martial soul, hunting plant soul beasts, and even irrelevant wind-rolling grass.

Can he understand martial soul cultivation theory?

Nevertheless, even so, the hundred-year wind-rolling grass brought that soul master a life-saving skill.

And Tang San's martial soul is the Blue Silver Emperor, which, like the Nine Lives Resurrection Grass, is a plant and possesses strong vitality. Combined with his research on Nine Lives Resurrection Grass, he realizes its essence. He believes that he has a chance to obtain a soul skill that touches on the essence of life through this experience.
