939: Air supremacy, Xinjiang mountain city

There was no difficulty in the process of absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Card.

This also confirmed that absorbing a Soul Card primarily requires physical strength.

It is likely that the next three teammates will definitely not have their Fifth Soul Card starting at the conventional ten-thousand-year mark.

The Sun hung high in the cloudless sky at noon.

In the dense forest, Du Xingchen slowly spread out his palm.

A pitch-black card carrying waves of impressive fluctuations leaped in his palm!

Engraved on the card was a spirited white deer, with most of its body obscured by mist.

With a thought, a smoke bomb materialized in his hand!

As a faint light emerged from the pitch-black Soul Card, Du Xingchen directly threw out the smoke bomb.

The next moment, a large area of smoke expanded rapidly, instantly enveloping a hundred-meter radius around him, and this spread continued as the smoke bomb was released!

While inside the white mist, Du Xingchen not only felt no obstruction to his vision but even found that within the hundred-meter range of the smoke bomb, he was omniscient!

"The smoke bomb lasts for three minutes, and while within the smoke, the recovery effect of injuries increases by 20%, applicable to oneself and teammates," Du Xingchen obtained this data through his perception.

Not only could it block the enemy's vision and weaken their perception, but it could even help his own people recover from injuries; this was an unexpected bonus.

After absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Beast Soul Card, Du Xingchen's Realm as a Four-Star Soul Card Master also directly improved!

The Fusion progress of his Fourth Soul Token soared to 50%!

In such circumstances, using the Mystic Fire Armor again would undoubtedly be a completely new display of strength!

Solely from the perspective of his Realm, he was already a seasoned Four-Star Soul Card Master.

And if he disregarded his Foundation, he could even directly absorb a Fifth Soul Card and become a Five-Star Soul Card Master!

There was no rush for that; after equipping his Second Martial Soul with a few more Soul Cards, his Realm would naturally reach the peak of a Four-Star Soul Card Master.

Relying on the power of Soul Cards to enhance his Foundation and strength was a major advantage of having dual Martial Souls that defied conventional logic.

In the later stages of the original work, Moyun basically never cultivated seriously; he completely relied on hunting Beasts, acquiring Soul Cards, and using the special characteristic of his five Martial Souls being able to carry 45 Soul Cards to directly raise his Realm to the Supreme Realm using Soul Cards!

Furthermore, before entering the Supreme Realm, he had already activated at least two Miracles in advance!

Everyone knew that one Miracle represented a Grand Sage Master.

Two Miracles represented stepping into the Supreme Realm.

Six Miracles meant being at the peak of the Supreme Realm!

Actually, these statements were specifically for all Humans in this World who only had one Martial Soul.

Having two Martial Souls was destined to mean having more Soul Cards.

And more Soul Cards also represented more energy; the final form of Soul Card energy in this World could only be a Miracle!

Under normal circumstances, the existence of dual Martial Souls was completely capable of possessing two Miracles at the Grand Sage Master Realm!

From this, one could imagine just how outrageous Moyun's five Martial Souls were.

"Let's continue searching for Beasts; this time, limit the age to around twenty thousand years," Du Xingchen didn't get caught up in too many emotions; after adjusting his mindset, he instructed the two Saint Masters.

Moyun's Martial Soul Foundation was indeed Heaven-Defying, but he also had the System.

Since the System could give him a Second Martial Soul, it might not be impossible for it to provide him with a third, fourth, or even a hundredth Martial Soul.

Besides, just the current Beast Tempering Pill had benefited him greatly, and in his feeling, this thing was definitely not inferior to Moyun's Five Elements Yin Yang Body brought from another World!

After all, the mere fact that it could infinitely increase physical strength was enough to be Heaven-Defying!

After giving the target to the two Saint Masters, Du Xingchen found a clean spot and sat down cross-legged to wait.

A twenty-thousand-year Beast was actually not his current limit of endurance.

However, it was the limit that the two Saint Masters could handle.

If the age was any higher, these two Saint Masters would only be serving as fodder.

After all, once a Beast reached the ten-thousand-year level, every ten thousand years represented a qualitative leap in difference.

The Sun's light grew stronger, and the temperature in the forest became more stifling.

Du Xingchen looked at the sky; about an hour had passed, and the two Saint Masters hadn't returned yet.

Although it was within the inner circle, a twenty-thousand-year Beast wasn't a common commodity; it was still hard to encounter.

Thinking about it, even if he asked the two of them to find a thirty-thousand-year Beast, it definitely wouldn't be found in a day or two.

To find such high-aged Beasts of over ten thousand years, besides going deeper into the inner circle, the only other place was the ocean.

As he was musing, one Saint Master arrived, slightly out of breath; seeing the bloodstains on his body, he was clearly injured!

"Young Master, we found a Peng around twenty thousand years old."

"Originally, we were going back to report, but unexpectedly, the other party also discovered us, causing us to be forced into battle and kill it."

"I wonder if this Beast... is what the Young Master needs?"

This Saint Master was not in good condition; his breathing was erratic, and one could still see blood dripping from the corner of his clothes.

Being able to come back to report the information, his condition was likely relatively better than the other one.

The other one was probably more seriously injured!

However, after hearing that the two of them ended up like this because they fought with the Peng, Du Xingchen also inwardly thought it was a close call.

The Peng was a Beast of the Beast King level.

At the twenty-thousand-year level, it had already touched upon the Realm of Human Grand Sage Masters!

If it were a Grand Sage Master with insufficient Foundation, they might even be unable to subdue the other party!

The fact that these two could kill the other party was partly due to their Foundation, and partly they must have used quite a few trump cards.

Indeed, the dangers of the inner circle could not be avoided even by Saint Master powerhouses.

"Take me there," suppressing his emotions, Du Xingchen decisively ordered.

His original idea was that a twenty-thousand-year offensive Beast would be enough, but who knew these two could directly kill a top-tier Beast.

This completely met his needs.

Also.

From another perspective, he had no other options.

Now that the two Saint Masters were injured to such an extent, they wouldn't have the ability to continue helping him hunt Beasts.

It didn't take long.

When Du Xingchen arrived here, he could see a huge feathered Beast, over thirty meters long, lying on an open plain!

Its brown-black feathers shimmered with a metallic luster, and the Peng's grayish-white pupils still contained unwillingness from before its death.

Most striking was the pitch-black card slowly rising from the back of this huge Beast!

On the other side of the Peng.

The Saint Master who remained there was now even unable to get up and salute him; he could only sit cross-legged on the ground, completely immersed in healing.

Just by looking at the scattered porcelain bottles of healing medicine nearby and the bloodstains covering his white clothes, Du Xingchen could sense the intensity of the battle that had taken place here not long ago!

Actually, if they had a choice, the two Saint Masters likely wouldn't have fought the Peng head-on.

After all, the risk was too great, plus they didn't know if this was the Beast they needed.

Unfortunately, the Peng was a stubborn Beast; once it identified an enemy entering its territory, it would fight to the death!

Unless one side died, the fight would not end.

Taking a few steps to the front of the Peng, Du Xingchen did not hesitate and revealed his Second Martial Soul.

He had a vague guess that this card's power boost for him... should be related to air supremacy!

... ...

That night.

Du Xingchen did not return directly to the stronghold but bypassed it and went straight to Jiangshan City.

As soon as he arrived, he naturally met Jiangshan directly.

"Hahaha, Xingchen, I thought you, this Child, had forgotten about the matter of Jiaolong Valley!" Jiangshan laughed as he stepped forward to welcome Du Xingchen.

"Such a big matter, Xingchen certainly always remembers it," Du Xingchen also entered his role upon seeing Jiangshan.

"It's good that you're here," Jiangshan nodded, then pulled Du Xingchen towards the side of the City Lord's Mansion: "Come, let me introduce you to some people."

As he spoke, Jiangshan brought Du Xingchen to a side hall.

In this side hall were seven young people dressed in luxurious clothes, each with a hint of arrogance in their expressions.

On the other side of the young people was a woman with an impressive aura.

"Qingxie Dasheng, this is my other request," Jiangshan said as he patted Du Xingchen's shoulder: "Inside Jiaolong Valley, none of us can interfere, so I hope your Students can protect this Child's safety."

Jiangshan spoke very straightforwardly.

After his words were spoken, Miao Gouer's expression didn't change much, but the young people immediately expressed dissatisfaction.

"No way? We already have a lot of pressure with the Divine Hall and Demon Hall teams going to Jiaolong Valley; now we have to bring a burden?" The Huang Fa Nü in the team spoke up in dissatisfaction.

"Hey, what's your strength?" Among the young people, the bald Man who was the leader raised his chin and asked Du Xingchen.

Looking at these people, Du Xingchen displayed his Mystic Fire Turtle Martial Soul, showing all four Soul Cards.

"Four-Star Soul Card Master? He really is a burden; the weakest of us is already a Five-Star Soul Card Master," one person in the team pouted, very disdainfully.

Hearing this, Jiangshan's brows furrowed; just as he was about to step forward to teach these young people a lesson, Du Xingchen slowly raised his head and looked at the young people before him: "A Four-Star Soul Card Master is a burden? Then... what about adding this?"

As his words fell, Du Xingchen reached out with his other hand, and a black card appeared in his hand!

"A Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Card? A Five-Star Soul Card Master? That's not bad."

The Linshan Country Royal Family prodigies showed a bit more seriousness upon seeing the black card Du Xingchen took out.

Being a Five-Star Soul Card Master at this age already placed him among the prodigies of their circle.

Clearly, these people mistook the black card Du Xingchen took out from his Second Martial Soul as his Fifth Soul Card.

Du Xingchen didn't explain this; he wanted to create this feeling for these people.

After all, only showing Four-Star Soul Master strength was one thing, being looked down upon, and another point was that his Mystic Fire Armor trump card couldn't be used casually.

With a black card as cover, making people believe he was a Five-Star Soul Card Master, it would be justifiable for him to use the combat tank armor when he was in Jiaolong Valley.

"I also need to bring three people with me; it shouldn't be troublesome, right?" Du Xingchen suddenly made a request; these words were directed at Jiangshan.

"Of course, it's not troublesome; what kind of problem is that!"

Jiangshan readily agreed.

Hearing this, the expressions of this group of Linshan Country Royal Family prodigies turned unpleasant again.

These people were about to say something, but their Teacher, Miao Gouer, used a gesture to calm their emotions.

With Du Xingchen being a Five-Star Soul Card Master, the addition of the other three wouldn't make them burdens but partners.

After all, a team led by a Five-Star Soul Card Master was considered a top-tier team even outside.

From the perspective of overall strength, the addition of Du Xingchen and his people would undoubtedly add strength to these Royal Family prodigies, and there was no reason to refuse.
