Just as the Shrek group was accelerating their journey towards Heaven Dou City, within the Sunset Forest.
Dugu Bo was currently taking Dugu Yan and Qi Lin to search for suitable Soul Beasts.
The Sunset Forest was far less vast than the Star Dou Great Forest, and relatively, the number of high-level Soul Beasts within the forest was also much smaller than in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Currently, Dugu Yan's martial soul had evolved into the Jade Phosphor Dragon.
Therefore, Dugu Bo naturally also wanted to find a sub-dragon, or a Soul Beast with true dragon bloodline, to serve as Dugu Yan's Soul Ring.
After searching for a full three days, Dugu Bo finally locked onto a six-thousand-year-old sub-dragon as their target.
Although the fourth Soul Ring limit for ordinary Soul Masters was only between four thousand and five thousand years, Dugu Yan, who had consumed the Good Fortune Heaven Mending Pill, was clearly not among the ranks of ordinary Soul Masters.
And after absorbing the six-thousand-year-old sub-dragon, Dugu Yan's soul power actually broke through directly to level forty-eight in one go.
One must know that before consuming the Good Fortune Heaven Mending Pill, Dugu Yan only had thirty-eight levels of soul power.
This exaggerated breakthrough made both Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo surprised and delighted.
"Qi Lin, what kind of Soul Beast do you want for your Soul Ring?"
"If we can't find a suitable Soul Ring in the Sunset Forest, then I'll take you to the Star Dou Great Forest. You'll definitely find a satisfactory Soul Ring there."
After helping Dugu Yan obtain her Soul Ring, Dugu Bo looked at Qi Lin again.
In these three days, they had also encountered quite a few plant-type Soul Beasts, the oldest of which even reached thirty thousand years.
A thirty-thousand-year-old Soul Beast for a sixth Soul Ring was quite good in Dugu Bo's opinion, but Qi Lin was not satisfied with any of them.
After hearing Dugu Bo's words, Qi Lin shook his head and smiled, "Never mind, Dugu Senior, there's no need for such trouble."
"Since we haven't found a Soul Ring in these three days, it means the time for me to obtain my sixth Soul Ring hasn't arrived yet. It's not too late to hunt for a Soul Ring after a while."
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were stunned upon hearing this.
So casual?
Dugu Bo still wanted to persuade him, saying, "Are you really not going to look any further? Although you can still continue cultivating even if you don't obtain a Soul Ring, the meditation speed of high-level Soul Masters is faster than that of low-level Soul Masters. So, if you don't obtain a Soul Ring immediately, it will have a certain impact on you."
Upon hearing this, Qi Lin smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Dugu Senior, but these impacts are insignificant to me, so it's fine."
Seeing this, Dugu Bo could only say, "Alright, then I'll listen to you."
After speaking, the group of three returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Inside the valley, Dugu Bo said to Qi Lin, "Qi Lin, from now on, just treat this place as your own home. Whichever medicinal herb you fancy here, just take it directly."
Qi Lin scratched his head and glanced at the herb garden.
When he refined the Good Fortune Heaven Mending Pill, there were actually many medicinal herbs he hadn't touched, and there were even several immortal herbs left.
For example, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, as well as the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, he hadn't touched any of these three immortal herbs.
But it seemed he didn't need these right now either.
However, Qi Lin still smiled and said to Dugu Bo, "Dugu Senior's kindness, I appreciate it. If I have a need, I will definitely not be polite with you."
Dugu Bo laughed heartily, "That's right, that's right, absolutely don't be polite with me."
Dugu Yan, on the other hand, secretly rolled her eyes at her Grandfather. She understood his thoughts perfectly.
...
Time quickly came to the second day, and Qi Lin and Dugu Yan returned to Heaven Dou Academy together, accompanied by Dugu Bo.
Meanwhile, within Heaven Dou Academy.
After four days of rushing, the Shrek group finally arrived at Heaven Dou Academy.
At this moment, Dai Mubai had already woken up from his coma. Both of his arms were bandaged. His face was pale and gaunt, and his aura was weak and listless.
After arriving at Heaven Dou Academy, Dai Mubai looked at the scenery before him and then looked at Flander with anticipation.
"Dean, do you think my hands can still be healed?"
Currently, let alone fighting, even using a little force with his hands was difficult.
Flander fell silent upon hearing this. From Shao Xin's words, he could tell that the condition of Dai Mubai's hands was particularly severe. Even a pure healing-type Soul Sage might not be able to heal his meridians.
As for a healing-type Soul Douluo?
Healing him should be no problem, but the key was the rarity of healing-type Soul Douluo, which was comparable to a Title Douluo.
Let alone inviting one, it was difficult to even find such a person.
Seeing the expression on Flander's face, Dai Mubai's body immediately trembled slightly.
If his hands were truly crippled, how could he possibly contend with Davis in the future?
The thought of being either killed or crippled after losing to Davis, and then being kept like a pig or dog, made Dai Mubai's heart feel utterly dark.
And every time this happened, he would think of the instigator of all this, Yu Xiaogang.
Swish!
Dai Mubai's eyes instantly turned red. He turned his head, panting heavily like an ox, and glared at Yu Xiaogang with a ferocious expression.
"You incompetent teacher, if my hands truly cannot be healed, I will kill you."
Dai Mubai didn't know at this moment that the reason his meridians exploded, besides Yu Xiaogang's influence, was also related to Tang San constantly using him for experiments.
Otherwise, with the powerful physique of his White Tiger martial soul, his meridians' tolerance wouldn't have reached their limit so quickly.
Yu Xiaogang was in the wrong, but he had already endured too many cold stares from the Shrek group over the past few days, so he had long since gotten used to it.
In fact, even when facing the seemingly insane Dai Mubai at this moment, he could still stick out his neck and defend himself.
"Although you've ended up like this, it does have a little to do with me, but I'm not the culprit. I was learning from Qi Lin, how was I supposed to know such an unexpected change would occur?"
"I strongly suspect that the reason Qi Lin so readily agreed to let me watch and learn was because he did it on purpose."
"You should be able to feel it yourselves, he has always disliked you, which is why he deliberately held back when I went to observe and learn."
"He knew that your training method was wrong but didn't remind you, which is what led to your current situation."
"So, Mu Bai, the one you should hate the most isn't me, but Qi Lin."
Yu Xiaogang said righteously.
Upon hearing this, a flicker of hatred flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes.
Whether it was Yu Xiaogang or Qi Lin, he hated them both!
Flander and Shao Xin in the crowd exchanged glances, and worry flashed in both of their eyes.
How could these guys be thinking of asking Qi Lin for help? They were clearly going to make an enemy of Qi Lin.
Thinking of this, Flander felt that he had to step forward.
He said in a deep voice, "Mu Bai, I can understand your urgent desire to recover right now. I will help you figure out a way for this, but if you see Qi Lin later, I don't want you to still have the attitude you just had."
After speaking, Flander's gaze swept around the surroundings.
Clearly, he wasn't just warning Dai Mubai, but also warning the others.
Especially Ma Hongjun, who was always blunt, was glared at fiercely by Flander.
"Dean, I understand!"
"I also know what's important."
Dai Mubai took a deep breath, and the expression on his face calmed down. However, in the depths of his eyes, the look of hatred still hadn't disappeared.
Just then, Qin Ming's voice sounded from a distance.
"Dean, you've finally arrived!"
