Chapter 213 Hidden Rules

Watching the "Dry Land Sand Lizard" running away in panic, Mingqi had no intention of chasing after it and killing it.

He turned around and put the "Thousand-pound Stick" back into the storage soul guide, and then he released the state of possession by the martial soul.

To Ming Qi, the "Thousand-pound Stick" is good, but it can only be used freely after the martial spirit possesses it and the "Second Soul Skill: Fury of the Violent Ape" is performed, and the power is increased by 150%.

In his normal state, he could only barely lift the "Thousand-pound Stick" weighing more than 1,200 kilograms.

That is to say, after his strength broke through to the Soul Saint level, his physical fitness was greatly enhanced by the tempering of soul power. Otherwise, if he were still a Soul Emperor, he might not be able to lift the magical weapon "Thousand-pound Stick" with physical strength alone without the blessing of soul power.

But it's true, after having the "Thousand-pound Stick", Ming Qi can exert combat power that could only be achieved with the third and fourth soul skills with just a second soul skill of the hundred-year level.

Ming Qi had previously conducted a special test in private. If he used the "Thousand-pound Stick" to fight while displaying his martial soul's true body, with the "Thousand-pound Stick"'s excellent conduction properties for soul power, as well as its extraordinary weight and toughness, it would be hard to say whether he could be a Soul Douluo, but among Soul Saints, he felt that he could compete with the direct descendants of the Tang family of the [Haotian Sect]!

"Let's continue on our way--" Walking in front of Tiefutu and others, Ming Qi said calmly.

If he hadn't witnessed the violent fighting posture just now, anyone would have thought that the tall, thin man with a strong appearance in front of him was a serious and steady sergeant.

"it is good!"

Tiefutu nodded, waved his hand to Lougao and the others, and said, "Let's go! Follow Bishop Mingqi's footsteps!"

A group of eight people headed deeper into the desert again, continuing their journey that had been interrupted by an accident.

At the end of the team, three figures wearing green armor stood very close to each other. They were alert to their surroundings and began to whisper.

"Brother Yi~" Ah Yin glanced at Ming Qi who was at the front of the team and asked Ling Yi in a low voice: "Just now, why didn't Bishop Ming Qi kill the "Dry Land Sand Lizard" that attacked us?"

"Even if we don't need spirit rings, isn't it possible for spirit bones to appear?"

When asking this question, Ah Yin put her mouth close to Ling Yi's ear and tried her best to keep her voice very low, as if she was afraid of being heard by others, even Yang Xueli next to her.

At the same time, she didn't know whether it was because she was too close to Ling Yi and thus felt shy, or whether it was because she was nervous for some other reason, but when she said the terms 'soul ring' and 'soul bone', her voice trembled slightly.

Based on the third person perspective, Ling Yi understood Ah Yin's underlying meaning. He first looked into Ah Yin's eyes meaningfully for a few seconds. When the little girl couldn't help but look away, Ling Yi flipped his hand and took out a palm-sized bat statue.

The "Odontobat Statue" was obtained from an auction in Gengxin City and can collect all sounds within a three-meter radius.

In the eyes of other people in Douluo Continent, this is a rather useless soul guide.

What use can this thing have?

On your wedding night, do you prevent others from eavesdropping?

Therefore, at the auction at that time, many people had little interest in this soul guide device. They just raised their bids casually a few times, and it was bought by Ling Yi at a price not much higher than the starting price.

The soul masters holding up the signs may simply want to collect a soul guide device, or they may want to use the small-range silencing effect to achieve a stealth effect.

After all, no matter whether it is an assassin, a killer, or a spy, with this soul guide, the effect can be much better.

Of course, the martial souls and soul skills of soul masters who can serve as assassins and spies will basically have stealth effects similar to those of this "Otobat Statue".

Ling Yi is different from these people. He is simply enriching his soul guide array database. As for whether he can manually create a super-large "Silent Array Diagram" in the future to make all soul skills that require soul spells become duds, he does not force it.

Pulling away, get back to business.

"The answer to this question was actually at the entrance to the primary Soul Hunting Forest where we first met."

He took out the "Otobat Statue" and activated its sound-absorbing function. Ling Yi's voice rang out within three meters of him, and the closer he was to him, the louder it became. After more than one meter, the sound was as faint as a whisper in his ear.

Ah Yin subconsciously raised her head and looked at the back of Ah Gu, who was more than three meters away in front of her. Then her gaze paused on the "Odobat Statue" held in Ling Yi's hand, and then she focused on Ling Yi's words.

"Brother Yi, are you talking about... the reminder given by the guards outside the Soul Hunting Forest that we should not kill soul beasts that are not our target unless necessary?"

As Yin recalled and spoke, the expression on her face seemed as if it was just the day before.

"Yes." Ling Yi nodded, turned to smile at Yang Xueli who had sensed something and moved closer to them, and continued, "In fact, this reminder of 'not killing unless necessary' is an unspoken rule set by the Spirit Hall and the two empires."

"The purpose is to ensure the sustainability of soul beasts. This is also one of the most important reasons why there are so many primary soul hunting forests on the Douluo Continent, which specialize in raising some hundred-year and ten-year soul beasts that are less than a thousand years old."

"The so-called sustainability of soul beasts is because the soul rings that human soul masters need in their lifetime are up to nine at most, ranging from a hundred years, to a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even the legendary one hundred thousand years!"

"However, the golden period of cultivation for a human soul master is usually within 30 to 50 years. For most soul beasts, this short period of time may not even take a hundred years to cultivate."

"Think about it. For a Titled Douluo-level genius, in a period of sixty years, he needs to consume two hundred-year soul beasts, two thousand-year soul beasts, five ten-thousand-year soul beasts, and at least one soul beast that is over fifty thousand years old!"

“In Douluo Continent, among a hundred ordinary people, there may not be one person with the talent of a soul master. But even so, given the demand for soul rings by human soul masters, if we really let go of hunting, soul beasts will probably face extinction in a few thousand years at most!”

"How is that possible!" Ah Yin blurted out a retort: ​​"Among soul beasts, there are even soul beasts that are 100,000 years old! Even if it is a Titled Douluo, if he encounters a soul beast that is 100,000 years old, it is still unknown who will win--!"

"Indeed." Ling Yi nodded in agreement with Ah Yin's words and said, "Generally speaking, for a Titled Douluo below level 95 who encounters a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the outcome is unpredictable. It depends on the specific combat power of both sides—"

"But, what if it's a level ninety-nine peerless Douluo?"

"..."

Ah Yin was silent. Ling Yi's words made her not know how to refute.

Although she had never fought with a level 99 peerless douluo, she knew that a being that was only one step away from becoming a level 100 god was not something that a soul beast that had just broken through to 100,000 years old could contend with.

Without further ado, continue typing~

Chapter 214: Desire for profit

"There is a food chain between soul beasts. In my opinion, humans are just a link in this food chain."

Under the gaze of Ah Yin and Yang Xueli, Ling Yi said:

“Tigers and wolves eat rabbits and sheep, rabbits and sheep eat flowers and plants. Everything is just for survival. It has nothing to do with good or evil or right or wrong. Everything in this world is just like this.”

"..."

Ah Yin remained silent. She had been in the human world for more than seven years, and no one had ever expressed such a view to her.

But in the eyes of Yang Xueli, a girl who represents almost all universal concepts of mankind in Douluo Continent, Ling Yi's statement is really a bit unorthodox.

Of course, if Yang Xueli were asked to refute, she would not be able to find any words to prove that Ling Yi's point of view was a fallacy.

After a moment of silence, Ah Yin suppressed the various chaotic thoughts in his mind, skipped this topic, and said to Ling Yi again:

"So, the unspoken rule of 'not killing unless necessary' set by the Spirit Hall and the two empires is to ensure the number of soul beasts with a low age limit, so that new soul masters will have enough soul beasts as their soul rings?"

After a pause, he added coldly: "Like farmed chickens and ducks, or chives that are planted in the ground without directly cutting off the roots?"

"That's about right~" Ling Yi didn't try to find other nice, euphemistic words to embellish his words, but nodded directly and said, "From the perspective of human soul masters like us, for the sake of future generations and the spirit system...

Soul beasts cannot grow stronger, cannot become weaker, and certainly cannot become extinct!"

Three "can'ts". Although the tone was calm, both Ah Yin and Yang Xueli seemed to feel the bloody chaos behind them.

"As long as the cultivation of the martial spirit system requires spirit rings, and as long as spirit beasts can produce spirit rings, the relationship between humans and spirit beasts will extend to the end of time—"

"This is the rule engraved in the world we live in!"

Perhaps Ling Yi's words were a little heavy, both Ah Yin and Ah Shi Yang Xueli were silent once again.

"Okay~" Ling Yi shook his head and said comfortingly: "The complicated relationship between humans and soul beasts is not for us three little soul masters to consider."

"Don't forget, our future strength improvement still depends on hunting down corresponding soul beasts and obtaining their soul rings—"

"When you two really become Title Douluo-level masters, if you are willing to protect me, I am willing to spend some time and energy to study the solution to the relationship between soul beasts and soul masters."

Ah Yin/Yang Xueli: "..."

Before the two women could say anything, Ling Yi changed the subject and continued, "As for why Bishop Ming Qi let that 'Dry Land Sand Lizard' go..."

After a pause, he looked at the figure leading the group in the front, and a strange look appeared in Ling Yi's eyes: "I can only say that this Bishop Ming Qi... is a good person."

After hesitating for a second, Ling Yi finally used the adjective "not bad" because he always felt that using other words would seem a bit awkward.

"Nice guy?"*2

Ah Yin and Yang Xueli spoke in unison, also casting their gazes towards the tall and thin figure like a javelin. They did not dwell on the previous topic anymore, nor did they question whether Ling Yi was qualified to study the future of the relationship between soul beasts and soul masters.

"Hmm~" Ling Yi responded softly: "As I just said, the unspoken rule of 'not killing unless necessary' is just an unspoken rule after all, and it is not a mandatory ban."

"Not to mention that at the beginning, the 'Dry Land Sand Lizard' took the initiative to attack us, so even if Bishop Mingqi killed it, it was a matter of course."

"Looking at the length and aura of the 'Dry Land Sand Lizard', it is probably between 11,000 and 12,000 years old. Apart from the possible soul bones, its brain, claws, fangs, heart, flesh, blood, and scales are all very valuable..."

"Bishop Mingqi chose to let the 'Dry Land Sand Lizard' escape. From any perspective, he can be said to be a good person."

"He gave up a considerable fortune to ensure the safety of us 'old and weak' employees..."

"You know, in my impression, some people who are blinded by greed will even slaughter all the old soul beasts in an entire soul beast forest, and even resort to cruel methods, just to stimulate the resentment of the soul beasts and increase the possibility of soul bones being produced after the soul beasts die..."

"How is it possible!?" Ah Yin's eyes widened as she looked at Ling Yi in disbelief, "Not to mention the idea of ​​stimulating the resentment of soul beasts and increasing the possibility of soul bones being produced after the death of soul beasts, this is completely groundless nonsense!"

"Even if this is really possible, there are really such cruel people in this world who would kill people wantonly...even...even...torture and abuse...??!!"

At the end, Ah Yin's words became a little stammering. She didn't understand, but she was shocked!

Even though she has transformed into a human now, in the near future, when she cultivates to the mature stage above level 60, she will be completely indistinguishable from a human being. In the future, there is still hope that she can impact the immortal eternity as a human being.

But, she was born a soul beast after all. From the perspective of a soul beast, the greedy and cruel person described by Ling Yi is definitely the mortal enemy of all soul beasts, an enemy who would like to devour their flesh and blood alive!

In the eyes of Ah Yin, a human who is the incarnation of a soul beast, such a person should not exist in this world.

Even for the Spirit Hall, the two empires and other human forces, there is an unspoken rule that they all abide by when hunting soul beasts. And in the process of hunting, whether it is a human soul master killing a soul beast, or a soul beast killing a human soul master, life and death depends on the means used.

The strong humans can protect the younger generations and the weak. Among soul beasts, the leaders and parents will also protect their children and fellow tribesmen. This is also a very normal phenomenon.

But as for the slaughter, this was the first time that Yin had heard of it as she reviewed her life memories of tens of thousands of years before her transformation, as well as the seven years or so since her transformation.

At this moment, Ah Yin swore that if she met the 'greedy person' mentioned by Ling Yi in the future, she would do her best to kill him!

Such people should not exist, whether for soul beasts or human soul masters!

Even if the opponent is powerful enough to slaughter an entire forest of soul beasts and is very likely a Titled Douluo or above, Ah Yin is not afraid!

At worst, he could just follow Ling Yi and practice silently for a few decades to become a level 99 peerless Douluo, or even challenge level 100 to become a god!

There are some hatreds that you can never forget even if you become a god, and there are some grudges that you must seek even if you give up your throne!

With Ling Yi around, Ah Yin has an inexplicable confidence in his own improvement in strength and safety.

She was confident that she could successfully kill that person! !

Chapter 215 Blue Silver Rain

The morning glow in the sky looks like blood, indicating that the coming day may not be so peaceful.

This is already the seventh day that Ling Yi and his companions have entered the "Golden Sand Desert". Apart from spending most of the time on the road, the team of eight also encountered several soul beasts whose cultivation had reached over 30,000 years.

Unfortunately, the attributes don't match very well, either leaning towards earth attributes, or leaning towards gold attributes, or strength or speed attributes.

Although for Tie Fu Tu, who regards the blacksmith profession as his main profession, gold, earth, or strength attributes are all within his range of choice, but according to Ling Yi's suggestion, this is related to his eighth soul ring, which is related to his combat power and potential after becoming a Soul Douluo. For him, whose martial soul is the "Fire Ant", it is best to choose a fire attribute soul beast soul ring.
