Chapter 24 The second soul ring, the thousand-year soul ring!
On the outskirts of the Soul Hunting Forest, a very high and long wall blocked Su Bai and Sun Cheng.

In the center is a solid iron door.

Two teams of Spirit Hall guards were patrolling back and forth around the iron gate.

Su Bai handed over the warrant, and then the guards opened the door and the two walked in.

The two were wandering in the forest and soon encountered the Sword Bamboo Soul Beast, but it was only a dozen years old and only had the attribute of toughness, so it was not suitable for Su Bai, so the two skipped it.

“Su Bai, have you decided what kind of spirit ring you want to hunt?” asked Teacher Sun Cheng.

“If possible, I want to hunt a Shield Rock Pangolin soul beast. Although its movement speed is slow, its defense is amazing.” Su Bai said.

“Shield Rock Pangolin…” Sun Cheng muttered, “This is a very rare soul beast. Moreover, your first soul skill can only increase your defense. For this second soul ring, don’t you want to be more powerful or add status?”

“If I take other routes, I can indeed adapt to the complex combat environment, but now I just want to improve my defense as soon as possible. If my defense is not enough, I will get hurt.” Su Bai replied.

Sun Cheng no longer imposed his will. Although he was a teacher, he had long seen that Su Bai was a very opinionated person, and that his future achievements would most likely surpass his own.

Then, the two met soul beasts such as the tabby cat and the lone wolf, but none of them were what Su Bai wanted.

Su Bai and his friends wandered around in the forest for most of the day and finally saw a shield pangolin at the foot of a mountain.

When the Shield Rock Pangolin saw Su Bai and the others, it immediately started digging a hole downwards. Its feet kept digging downwards, and soon mud splashed out. It had already dug out a not-so-shallow hole.

“Oh no, he’s trying to escape!” Sun Cheng was shocked. “Watch me, first soul skill, Bind!”

A vine immediately stretched out from Sun Cheng’s hand and grabbed the fleeing Shield Rock Pangolin!

And this vine quickly tied up the pangolin.

“Come out!”

Teacher Sun Cheng pulled hard, but his martial soul was an ordinary vine, and he was not a power-type soul master, so he was stuck.

“How can this Shield Rock Pangolin be so strong!”

Teacher Sun Cheng sighed.

Su Bai also hurriedly pulled the vine. Su Bai’s martial soul was originally biased towards defense and strength, so with his participation, the Shield Rock Pangolin was gradually pulled out.

After the Shield Rock Pangolin was pulled out, it did not run away, but instead stared at the two of them.

Then, Teacher Sun Cheng saw the shield rock pangolin’s eyes flash red, and then he felt his brain tremble, as if he had been hit on the head with a stick. His whole body was staggering, and he was about to faint while stroking his head.

“This Shield Rock Pangolin can actually launch mental attacks?” Su Bai asked doubtfully. After all, this has never been recorded in the books in the library.

However, just like the martial spirits of soul masters may mutate, even if it is the same soul beast, it may occasionally acquire other characteristics, which is in line with the laws of the universe.

“Teacher Sun, please recover quickly. I’ll go and hold it back!” Su Bai hurried towards the Shield Rock Pangolin.

Then, the man and the beast started fighting.

Since both of them were more defensive and Su Bai was careful not to look directly into its eyes, the two fought back and forth.

After all, their attack power is not that strong.

But the damage caused to the opponent is just like scraping. Yes, at present, Su Bai is most adept at dealing with offensive spirit masters or spirit beasts, but he is really a bit helpless against defensive ones.

Teacher Sun Cheng forced himself to slap himself, then shook his head and came to his senses.

Soon, he used his first soul skill again, Bind!
The Shield Rock Pangolin was tied up by the vines again, but the Shield Rock Pangolin was very strong and showed signs of breaking free.

Su Bai released his martial spirit shield, and then continuously used shield strikes on the Shield Rock Pangolin!

During this period, Mr. Sun Cheng focused on controlling it.

Not long after, the shield pangolin was dying.

Su Bai took out a dagger and prepared to stab it at its weakest part, the neck, to give it a quick death.

But at this time, Teacher Sun Cheng suddenly spoke again, “Su Bai, wait a moment. The power of this Shield Rock Pangolin is probably not something that a hundred-year-old soul beast would have. I feel that its age is probably more than a thousand years old.”

Su Bai had long known that this shield rock pangolin was more than a thousand years old, which could be seen from the color of its skin.

The back of the shield pangolin is pitch black, while its belly is white. As it grows older, the white color of its belly will gradually be covered by black.

Now, the scales on the edge of the Shield Rock Pangolin’s belly have turned black, which means that it is already a thousand-year-old soul beast.

And the age is probably close to one thousand six hundred years!

That’s why the two great soul masters had such a hard time fighting just now.

One thousand six hundred years is close to the maximum age limit of the third soul ring in Yu Xiaogang’s theory.

If Su Bai successfully attracts this soul ring, then the power of his second soul skill in the future will be equivalent to the power of the third soul skill of a soul master at the same level.

The power of the soul skill is directly ahead of one soul ring!
Moreover, the competition between Su Bai and Tang Hu of Haotian Sect is only a few days away. If Su Bai absorbs the soul ring of this Shield Rock Pangolin, his chances of winning will be higher.

Therefore, Su Bai had to absorb the soul ring of this Shield Rock Pangolin.

However, if he told the truth, Su Bai felt that Teacher Sun Cheng would not let him absorb it so easily.

The main thing is that this kind of unconventional thing may be dangerous.

It seems that I can only tell a white lie.

“Teacher Sun, I’ve read in a book in the library that the scales on the edge of the belly of this shield rock pangolin are black, which is the symbol of a hundred-year soul beast. If the scales inside are black, this is the characteristic of a thousand-year soul beast!”

“So that’s how it is,” Teacher Sun Cheng was relieved, “Well, go and absorb it, and I’ll protect you.”

“it is good.”

Su Bai stepped forward and gave the Shield Rock Pangolin a quick death. Soon, a purple halo floated up from the fallen body of the Shield Rock Pangolin.

Fly into Su Bai’s body.

“How could it be a purple soul ring!” Teacher Sun Cheng was greatly shocked. According to Su Bai’s description, shouldn’t this be a soul beast that is several hundred years old?
Moreover, this purple soul ring becomes the second soul ring, which is an extremely rare thing in the tens of thousands of years of history of Douluo Continent!
Basically no one can achieve it!
