In the past years, Yan's attitude toward Hu Liena had changed, and Bibi Dong was very well aware of this.
She was genuinely happy about it.
Hu Liena was regarded by her as the successor of the Pope's Hall, and she didn't want her to waste too much time and energy on personal feelings.
Compared to before, Yan was no longer obsessed with Hu Liena. Now that he was serious, he gradually began to fulfill his potential.
Two years ago, Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena all had similar soul power levels.
But over these two years, Yan had been in the lead, now surpassing Xie Yue and Hu Liena by a full two levels.
Bibi Dong also knew that in the past two years, Yan had been learning about herbs and plants from Yue Guan.
As long as it didn't interfere with his cultivation, she wouldn't intervene too much.
She also knew that this time, Yan had asked Elder Ju to accompany him to the Star Dou Forest to hunt soul beasts, and it was also an opportunity for him to conduct field research and learn more about plants.
"Recently, there haven't been any major events in the Spirit Hall, so let Elder Ju go with you. However, don't spend too much time in the Star Dou Forest."
"Alright, I understand. Thank you, Your Holiness."
"Mhm. If there's nothing else, you may leave. Have Xie Yue and Na'er come see me."
"Yes."
Yan left the Pope's Hall.
He then returned to the academy and found Xie Yue and Hu Liena on the training field.
Yan knew that Bibi Dong wanted to encourage Xie Yue and Hu Liena to break through to level fifty as soon as possible.
Xie Yue stepped forward and asked:
"Big Brother Yan, why are you so late today?"
"I just came from the Pope's Hall. The Pope asked you and Na'er to go see her."
"Now?"
"Mhm."
Xie Yue sensed something unusual in Yan's expression.
"You went alone to the Pope's Hall?"
"Mhm. To be honest, I've broken through to level fifty, and I plan to go to the Star Dou Forest with Elder Ju to hunt soul beasts."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena and the other team members gathered around.
"Big Brother Yan, you've already broken through to level fifty? That's amazing!"
"Aren't you planning to take us with you to hunt soul beasts?"
Yan smiled calmly.
"The Star Dou Forest is quite far from Spirit City. It's not necessary to mobilize everyone just for me to hunt a soul beast. Another reason for this trip is to investigate rare and exotic plants, and I don't want this to delay everyone's training. It won't be long before Xie Yue and Na'er break through to level fifty, and then we can all go together."
"Mhm, we'll go together then."
Everyone nodded, agreeing with him.
A complex emotion appeared on Hu Liena's face.
The distance between Yan and them was growing wider and wider, and now she no longer dared to boast about surpassing Yan.
Afterward, Yan parted ways with Xie Yue and Hu Liena.
He went to find Yue Guan, preparing to leave today.
After quickly packing, Yan and Yue Guan set off.
A few days later, the two arrived at the Star Dou Forest.
They didn't stay long and, after a brief rest, continued toward the center of the Star Dou Forest.
Along the way, they encountered several soul beasts with soul power over ten thousand years old. Although these soul beasts were powerful, their attributes didn't match what Yan needed.
Yan needed a fire or earth attribute soul beast that resonated with his own martial soul so he could maximize its energy absorption.
Of course, fire attribute soul beasts were the top priority.
After searching for several days, they still hadn't found a suitable one.
The two were getting closer to the forest's center.
That evening, as Yan spread his wings and flew in the air to scout, he suddenly saw a faint red glow emerging from the deep forest.
He was startled and quickly dove down.
When he got closer, he realized it was a lone wolf.
The wolf had a large and powerful body, its fur a fiery red, and its eyes gleamed with a fierce red light. It was clearly no ordinary soul beast.
"Furious Fire Cang Wolf!"
Yue Guan exclaimed in surprise.
He carefully sensed the aura of the Furious Fire Cang Wolf and judged that its cultivation was around twenty thousand years.
Yan also sensed it.
The Furious Fire Cang Wolf possessed extreme speed and violent strength. It was a fire attribute soul beast that was both offensive and defensive, perfectly suited for Yan.
"Teacher, this is the one!"
"Yan, the Furious Fire Cang Wolf's cultivation is around twenty thousand years. Are you sure you want to use it for your fifth soul ring?"
"Mhm, don't worry, I'm confident I can absorb its soul ring!"
As soon as Yan finished speaking, he charged toward the Furious Fire Cang Wolf.
For him, this was an excellent opportunity.
Although the Furious Fire Cang Wolf had a cultivation of about twenty thousand years, which exceeded the usual limit for a soul master's fifth soul ring absorption, Yan had consumed three immortal herbs: the Eight-Petal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Blazing Delicate Apricot, and the Full moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
He believed that his physical condition and mental strength were more than enough to withstand the impact of a twenty-thousand-year soul ring.
Yue Guan also followed but had no intention of intervening, instead letting Yan deal with it alone.
Hunting a twenty-thousand-year soul beast alone was a considerable challenge for Yan as well.
Yan got closer and closer, and the Furious Fire Cang Wolf noticed his approach.
It let out a low growl, and its momentum suddenly exploded. Its entire body turned into a blazing red, resembling a raging fire, which stood out starkly in the dark forest.
Its large eyes locked onto Yan, gleaming with a fierce red light, exuding both ferocity and wildness.
Feeling the intense heat emanating from the Furious Fire Cang Wolf, Yan's fighting spirit soared.
He too released his Flame Lord martial soul, and his entire body ignited.
The surrounding air seemed to be ignited by their two scorching auras, creating a fiery red energy field.
The Furious Fire Cang Wolf attacked first, lunging at Yan with an overwhelmingly fierce flame power.
Yan knew that his flame attacks would have limited effect on the Furious Fire Cang Wolf; it wasn't afraid of fire.
Therefore, he had already planned a strategy to use his second soul skill, Granite Avalanche, to deal with this raging soul beast.
However, he didn't rush to use it just yet.
He moved nimbly, teasingly getting closer and closer to the Furious Fire Cang Wolf, trying to provoke it into launching more violent attacks to exhaust its stamina.
Every time the Furious Fire Cang Wolf lunged at him, Yan would spread his fiery wings and skillfully dodge its deadly flame claws.
This tactic continued for a while. Although the Furious Fire Cang Wolf was powerful, under Yan's provocation and evasions, its attacks grew fiercer but increasingly disorganized.
Yan calmly observed, waiting for the perfect moment.
Finally, after several rapid but fruitless attacks, the Furious Fire Cang Wolf's speed noticeably slowed down, and its breathing became heavier.
Yan knew that the opportunity had arrived!
He suddenly unleashed his second soul skill, Granite Avalanche.
In an instant, countless massive rocks rained down from the sky, accurately smashing into the Furious Fire Cang Wolf's body.
Under this dense and powerful barrage, the Furious Fire Cang Wolf was quickly covered in a storm of stones.
Taking advantage of the Furious Fire Cang Wolf's desperate struggle within the pile of rocks, Yan swiftly threw the sharp steel blade he was holding.
The blade cut through the air with a sharp momentum, directly striking at the Furious Fire Cang Wolf's throat.
