The Sunset Forest was only a hundred kilometers away from Tian Dou City.
Compared to the distant Star Dou Great Forest, it had become the first choice for Soul Masters.
As the capital of the Tian Dou Empire, Tian Dou City's prosperity was second only to Spirit Hall City.
Naturally, it gathered many high-level Soul Masters.
And a Soul Master would not hunt only one Soul Beast.
During the hunt, those killed in battles, those brutally slaughtered due to evil nature, those tortured deliberately for soul bones...
Over the years,
The growth speed of high-level Soul Beasts in the Sunset Forest could not keep up with the speed at which they died.
This resulted in the Sunset Forest falling into an awkward state—better than the worst, but far from the best.
The Shrek group arrived in the morning.
But even after camping until night, they didn't find any suitable Soul Beast.
Either the attribute was wrong, or the age was not right.
After the whale glue enhancement,
Zhu Zhuqing and the other four who needed their third soul ring had a soul ring limit of about 8000 years.
Dai Mubai's fourth soul ring threshold had soared to 13,500 years.
All stuck within the scope of the Sunset Forest.
But...
"Are Soul Beasts here really this sparse?" Ma Hongjun complained, "We've been in here for half a day, and have we even seen ten Soul Beasts?"
The others also nodded.
Flender felt a bit awkward, since he was the one who agreed to come here.
"This is my negligence." Flender said helplessly, "Twenty years ago when I came here, it wasn't this... deserted."
Hearing this,
The three who were "native nobles of the imperial capital" felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Isn't it all because of that Poison Douluo!"
Meng Shu sighed helplessly—
"He became a worshipped elder of the empire more than ten years ago, and no one knows what he did in the Sunset Forest. He used Bi Lin Snake Poison to seal land and killed over ten thousand Soul Beasts, including even ten-thousand-year-level ones."
"Most people guess he wanted to explode a soul bone. After all... he's known as the 'Disgrace of Title Douluo.'"
"Since then, the core area of the Sunset Forest has been filled with poisonous miasma, forcing high-year Soul Beasts outward and causing chaos for a long time."
"It wasn't until Emperor Xue Ye sent us to drive the scattered high-level Soul Beasts to the eastern corner that it stabilized."
Oh?
So there was such a story?
As for that slaughter—
He must have discovered the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well and poisoned the area to claim it.
In the original story,
Tang San also searched fruitlessly for a soul ring in the Sunset Forest.
Finally, he used the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb to attract Soul Beasts in groups and then chose one.
Well, time to replicate this!
He immediately stood up, catching everyone's attention.
—Couldn't help it. If not paying attention for a moment, he'd get smacked hard.
"You guys wait a bit, I discovered something interesting."
Then—
He stepped on his right foot with his left foot and flew upward!
—HENG KONG NUO YI.
Seeing Zhuge Lan disappear into the sky as if strolling on air,
Everyone's scalp tingled!
Wait!
Only Title Douluo could walk in the air, right?
And you...
Ma Hongjun glanced at Flender with a hopeful look.
"Don't look at me!" Flender waved his hand, "I'm just an ordinary Soul Saint. Without soul skills, I can't fly!"
Ma Hongjun didn't argue,
But his lip-curl exposed his thoughts—
Tch, newbie.
Flender ↓(▄︻▇▇▇▀▀▀▀)
He was already irritated, and now this?
That little freak Zhuge—was he even human?
Flender smacked Ma Hongjun on the head.
"Fatty!"
"You're getting more and more arrogant!"
"Only see your Blue Bro now, no academy master in your eyes?"
Ma Hongjun held his head, confused.
What?He didn't even say anything!
In the sky—
Zhuge Lan noticed Ma Hongjun's emotional spike.
He didn't think much.
—Probably that fat chicken envied that he could fly.
After getting out of sight,
He activated soul bone skill Zhichi Tianya, reducing his presence.
He removed his coat to enhance the effect.
Zhuge Lan summoned a telescope and observed from above.
He easily spotted a purple area in the center.
It was Dugu Bo's poison barrier.
One of the three great treasure points—the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well—was located inside.
The entire Sunset Forest existed because of it.
Just as he was about to locate it accurately,
His heart stirred.
He tested—
'System, can you mark the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well?'
[Consume 1 Emotion Point — Marked!]
Inside the purple poison zone, a bright white point flickered.
Surprisingly not at the center, but near the lower-left corner.
'This Dugu Bo is quite sneaky.'
'But this poison mist is a problem.'
'Though called the Disgrace of Title Douluo, he still has the reputation of being unmatched below Title Douluo.'
When unsure what to do—
'System, antidote pills, how much?'
[Consume 50 Emotion Points — Redeemed "Bi Lin Snake Poison Barrier Detox Pill" ×100]
Oh!
So it wasn't the usual 1-point price.
Dugu Bo still had some prestige—not much though.
Everything ready,
Zhuge Lan didn't rush back. He opened his system panel.
[Emotion Value System]

5.1 million Emotion Points!
Mainly saved over the previous week.
Over the past two weeks, Shrek became wary.
Even when fooled,
Their mental preparation reduced emotional output greatly.
This made Zhuge Lan understand—You can't farm the same group repeatedly.Must expand the victim pool.
Perfect.
Other than the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well, Sunset Forest had no secrets.
Later at night, he'd cast a High-Level Power Scan from the sky.
If the sky suddenly brightened, wouldn't Soul Beasts look up?
Emotions guaranteed!
Smiling happily,
Zhuge Lan tapped his Li Jing Long Sword martial soul and activated the fourth soul ring.
[Consume 10,000 Emotion Points — Fourth Soul Ring unlocked!]
[Increase Soul Ring Age]: 100 Emotion/YearSkill "Sword Paralysis": Li Jing Long Sword wraps lightning arcs to paralyze enemies, lasts 20 seconds!
Slogan: Shou-ma-ma? (Hand numb?)
Great!
Now the Li Jing Long Sword burned hot and paralyzed.
Future development almost predictable—poison coating, freezing, barbs...
Tsk!
Can't the skills be a bit more handsome?
He casually raised the soul ring to 50,000 years.
[-499,000 Emotion Points]
The skill hardly changed—"Lightning arcs" turned into "Thunder Coils."
Just two-character difference, but heaven and earth apart!
The first emphasized paralysis.
The second emphasized killing!
