Above Sunset Forest, a small black dot slowly rose.
This time, Ye Qiu disregarded the consumption of his soul power, flying very high, taking in most of the forest, yet still finding no trace of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"Sigh!" The fierce winds around him drowned out his sigh; his soul power had already been significantly depleted, forcing Ye Qiu to lower his altitude.
Looking down at the various terrains below, he had some unusual speculations.
Perhaps the reason he couldn't find the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well wasn't because it was hidden by an array, or perhaps some unknown change had occurred.
"Let's search a little longer! If it doesn't work, I'll have to trouble Sect Master Ning to arrange my enrollment!"
Ye Qiu's wide black robe fluttered in the wind.
While scanning the area below, he pondered how to get Ning Fengzhi's help!
Ye Qiu's Plan B involved a roundabout tactic.
In short, the plan is to pick on the weakest link first: enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, approach Dugu Yan, help her cure her poison, do her a favor, and then, through her connections, contact that old poison master.
Going directly to her and causing trouble would be undesirable.
He figured that the eccentric Poison Douluo, considering his past help to Dugu Yan and his ability to cure her, should be willing to communicate amicably.
The problem now is that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy only accepts nobles, requiring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to help solve this problem.
Should he use the Silent Sleeve Arrow or the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow blueprints?
Ye Qiu quickly dismissed the idea; handing Tang San's things over to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now would be a trap for them.
"Hmm? Which unlucky souls are going to be fed to the soul beasts again!" Watching a group of soul beasts chasing their prey, Ye Qiu remained unmoved; he'd seen this kind of scene many times before.
Just as he was about to look away, he was attracted by a glimmer of light.
"This color?" His previously calm expression turned slightly surprised.
The fleeing figures below were faintly glowing with seven-colored light.
'Could it be some unlucky fellow from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?'
Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment before flying downwards.
Perhaps this was his chance, his chance to secure the admission notice!
...
In the Sunset Forest, a pack of Gale Wolves was constantly roaming and charging through the jungle.
Among them, even the weakest were thousand-year-old soul beasts, and the wolf king, the leader, possessed a cultivation of twenty thousand years!
Despite the complex and rugged terrain, their speed remained incredibly fast, relentlessly closing in on the group ahead.
"Ah!~"
In his panic, a boy tripped over a rock and was instantly overwhelmed by the wolves. His shrill screams didn't last long before he fell silent.
"Zhang San!"
A fleeing boy turned back, his legs trembling at the sight of the bloody and brutal scene.
Among the group, the girl in the blue pleated skirt was in the worst state.
Gone was her previous carefree demeanor; her fair and delicate face was covered in mud, unable to conceal her pallor and fear, and tears even glistened in her eyes.
"Rongrong! Don't just stand there! Run!"
Ning Tian grabbed his younger sister's hand, and in his other hand, a seven-tiered, multicolored pagoda appeared, its second spirit ring pulsating.
"Seven Treasures have a name, the second is speed!"
Two streams of light shot out from the pagoda, attaching themselves to their legs, significantly increasing their escape speed.
These people were Ning Rongrong and her companions, who had come here to hunt spirits.
Ning Tian had successfully obtained his second spirit ring, from a seven-hundred-year-old Gale Wolf.
Beside him, Chen Feng's face was grim. "This time, it seems things won't end well!"
"Damn it! If Gu Luo's situation gets bad, cover for him with me!"
He called out to Gu Luo on the other side, who nodded heavily.
They could die, even Ning Tian could! But Ning Rongrong couldn't be harmed!
Who could have imagined that hunting a seven-hundred-year-old spirit beast would bring such a disaster? Why did that wolf king's cub have to come out and cause trouble today?
Ignoring everyone else, Chen Feng and Gu Luo followed closely behind Ning Tian and his sister.

"Rongrong! Rongrong!"
Ning Tian's voice brought Ning Rongrong back to her senses.
Her voice was choked with sobs. "Fourth Brother! What...what should we do? Waaah, am I going to die?"
"Rongrong, don't worry, quickly crush the jade pendant Grandpa Bone gave you, he'll be here soon!"
"Yes, yes, I have the jade pendant Grandpa Bone gave me!" Wiping away her tears, she had just taken the jade pendant out of her soul tool when a loud voice made her tremble.
"Awoo~"
The Gale Wolf King roared bloodthirstily, the horn of charge!
Thud Thud!
Dozens of Gale Wolves, their streamlined bodies rippling with fur, suddenly accelerated and surrounded the group, running around them continuously.
The Wolf King stood on a large rock outside the circle, its vertical beastly eyes flashing with an eerie red light, a fragment of a mutilated corpse dangling from its mouth.
"Gulp~ That...that wouldn't be Zhang San, would it?" Someone swallowed hard, a chill running down their spine.
*Thump!* The wolf king tossed the mangled corpse aside, splattering blood onto the crowd. The thick stench of blood made the atmosphere chilling.
"Ah! Fourth Brother!" Ning Rongrong cried out in despair, looking at the disfigured, mangled, and bloodied body that had crashed down in front of her, and huddled inside.
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid~" Ning Tian was also extremely nervous. He snatched the jade pendant from Ning Rongrong's hand and smashed it to pieces on the ground.
This seemed like a signal.
"Awooo!" The wolf king had also lost its patience. It wanted to tear this group of humans apart and avenge its short-lived cub!
The wolf pack received the command and pounced on Ning Rongrong and the others.
With low cultivation and no experience of such a scene, they were no match for the wolf king and were scattered in an instant.
Howls, screams, biting sounds, and cries filled the air.
"Gu Luo! Protect Miss Rongrong together!"
"Understood!"
This time, Gu Luo and the other wolf didn't argue.
A three-foot-long sword appeared in Chen Feng's hand! Three spirit rings, yellow, yellow, and purple, pulsed around his body.
Gu Luo was clad in something resembling bone armor, indicating he had undergone spirit possession.
Gu Luo said to Ning Tian behind him, "Young Master Ning Tian, thank you for your trouble!"
Ning Tian understood, and four streams of light appeared from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in his hand, entering Chen Feng and Gu Luo's bodies.
"Seven Treasures have names! First, Soul; Second, Speed!"
Following him was a voice choked with sobs.
"Seven Treasures have names. First, Strength; Second, Speed!"
It was Ning Rongrong, looking helplessly around; this was the last thing she could do!
"First Spirit Skill, Sharp Blade Unsheathed!"
"Third Spirit Skill! Sweeping Through a Thousand Armies!"
Chen Feng stood with his sword horizontally, the blade shimmering with azure light, becoming incomparably sharp, and slashed horizontally at the Gale Wolf that pounced on Ning Tian and his sister.
"Awoo~" After a mournful cry, the first foreleg that had reached out fell to the ground, followed by decapitation, warm blood spraying onto his resolute face, staining the ground red.
Gu Luo also went all out, his purple spirit rings shining brightly!
"Third Spirit Skill, Snow-White Bones!"
From the ground beneath the attacking giant wolf, eerie white bone spikes pierced through, instantly turning the wolf into a beehive.
However, human strength has its limits; the two of them alone couldn't handle so many spirit beasts.
The exclamations behind them made them turn around.
"Fourth Brother!"
"Rongrong! Be careful!"
The wolf king in the distance suddenly unleashed a wind blade at Ning Tian.
A giant wolf had already approached Ning Rongrong, its gaping maw whipping her hair!
In the sky, a black dot was also rapidly expanding, plummeting downwards.
