When Du Gu Yan had completely familiarized herself with her new changes, Han Li took her to bid farewell to the two Titled Douluos before embarking on their soul hunting journey once more.
This place was already in the central area of the forest's mixed soul beast zone. Without the protection of the two Titled Douluos, even Han Li raised his vigilance to the highest level. He didn't want to end up like a certain Immortal Emperor, who died just by accidentally stepping on an insect.
In any case, their journey was relatively smooth. Having Spiritual Power at the Soul Sage level was advantageous in this regard. His scouting range was vast, allowing him to avoid some dangers in advance. Even if there were some that he couldn't avoid,
a Spiritual Power attack infused with ice elements could often cause the soul beast to enter a state of mental sluggishness at the first encounter. Then, Eagle Eye would activate to mark the target, and he would calmly shoot an arrow imbued with elemental and armor-piercing power at the opponent, accurately hitting the eye. The ice and fire elements would explode directly in the head, and the battle would be over.
Decisive and clean, precise and violent, all preparations were for the final burst of power. This was Han Li's current offensive style, focusing on efficiency, which made Du Gu Yan, who was following behind him, look at him with admiration.
Broad Hill and Dugu Bo, who were in the dark, also nodded constantly. Although he was still a bit immature, he indeed had a hint of a strong person's demeanor.
As they continued to advance, the soul beasts they encountered became stronger and stronger until they encountered a Fire Hyena Group, and they finally witnessed Han Li's combat power.
They encountered the Fire Hyena Group suddenly in a valley in the forest. Originally, Han Li and Du Gu Yan had already bypassed their habitat, but they didn't expect that just as they were about to leave the territory, they encountered a group of scattered soul beasts returning from hunting.
The opponents' sense of smell was very keen, and even though they had hidden in time, they were still discovered.
Although Han Li had taken action immediately, because there was still some distance between the soul beasts, several of them still roared. After receiving the signal, a large number of Fire Hyenas from the territory swarmed towards them.
The Fire Hyena Group was not weak. Among them was a Dog King that was close to 20,000 years old, and four guards that were over 10,000 years old. After reaching 10,000 years, soul beasts began to possess considerable intelligence.
Seeing that there were only Han Li and Du Gu Yan, and that neither of their auras was strong, they pounced on them madly.
Fire Hyenas were not considered strong among soul beast groups. Their individual strength could even be said to be at the bottom of the same level. However, they were able to occupy a large territory here because of the power of the group and their fearless fighting style.
Under the leadership of the Dog King, all the soul beasts howled and charged over.
Seeing this, Han Li directly ordered Du Gu Yan to fly into the sky, but he himself did not leave directly. Instead, he recalled the relevant information and stayed within a range slightly beyond their attack distance.
Using the advantage of range, he constantly gave the opponent hope, and constantly turned back to harass them with large-scale ice arrows, angering the opponent while preventing the Dog King from approaching him quickly. He then took the opportunity to snipe the guards around the Dog King.
After killing two 10,000-year Fire Hyenas and several 8,000-year Fire Hyenas, the Dog King entered a berserk state. It ignored his harassment and a flame appeared on its body, enveloping it completely. It resisted his attacks and got close.
Just when the Dog King thought that victory was at hand, Han Li smiled and detonated the cold poison on its body. Coupled with the mental sluggishness effect attached to the Spiritual Power attack, he sent a milky white arrow into its still barking mouth and detonated it directly in its heart.
The invincible Dog King fell.
But the battle did not end there. The fall of the Dog King completely ignited the madness of the Fire Hyena Group. They began to charge towards Han Li regardless of the cost.
Han Li had no intention of indulging them. The combat power test had not been completely completed yet. He flew into the air in the desperate eyes of the dog group, put away his Martial Soul, and after a brief compression of Soul Power, a red and white lotus flower was thrown into the center of the battlefield.
Then, after a brief pause, the lotus flower exploded completely in the dog group, leaving nearly thirty soul beasts in place with just one blow.
Ice crystals and flames coexisted on their remaining corpses, how beautiful.
It was this blow that completely destroyed the fighting will of the Fire Hyena Group. Some of the lower-year Fire Hyenas instinctively began to flee frantically, and their behavior also affected the other Fire Hyenas.
Soon, the Fire Hyena Group, which had been united before, disbanded and fled in different directions.
After there were no soul beasts in the surrounding area, Han Li fell from the air. After checking and finding that there were no Soul Bones, he took Du Gu Yan and quickly fled the scene.
His Spiritual Power consumption was fine, but his Soul Power had now dropped to less than one-third. This was because the density of his own Soul Power was relatively high, and it was not difficult to break through the defenses of five Fire Hyenas with combat power between Soul King and Soul Emperor.
However, the arrow he shot to ensure that he could directly kill the Fire Hyena King, and the Ice Crystal Fire Lotus he threw out at the end, were both big consumers of Soul Power. These two attacks alone consumed nearly half of his Soul Power.
After getting away from that area, Han Li finally relaxed.
Then, in Du Gu Yan's surprised eyes, he decisively chose to use the "Great Summoning Technique".
After Broad Hill and Dugu Bo appeared, he nodded to the three of them, sat down cross-legged, and seized the time to start recovering Soul Power.
"Is it strange?"
Broad Hill asked Du Gu Yan, who was still a little dazed, with a smile.
"It's a bit. When I think that Xiao Li just dispersed a Fire Hyena Group by himself, and then turned around and started calling for his teacher, I always feel a bit, well, a bit awkward."
Du Gu Yan expressed her true thoughts.
"Hahaha, you'll get used to it in the future. This is the real Xiao Li. Face is not worth mentioning to him. Safety is the highest priority."
Broad Hill thought of what happened before and couldn't help but smile.
"Han Li's approach is correct. Only in this way can he live longer and better in the Soul Master world. Yan Yan, you must remember this."
Dugu Bo took this opportunity to teach his Granddaughter a lesson.
"Yes, I understand, Grandpa."
Du Gu Yan obediently nodded in agreement.
"Well, but this kid is really strong, he almost single-handedly wiped out that Fire Hyena Group. If he encounters one alone, as long as it's not a very fast flying Soul Beast, he probably has a chance to kill an ordinary 30,000-year Soul Beast."
Dugu Bo said with admiration, looking at Han Li who was recovering his Soul Power.
"Don't say that, his Soul Power is still too weak, which holds him back. Only his explosive power is decent, so he's just average."
At this time, Broad Hill became modest on behalf of Han Li, but his slightly raised corner of the lips (corner of the mouth) betrayed his true feelings.
"Tch, anyone who didn't know better would think you were praising yourself."
Dugu Bo glared at him unhappily.
"He is my disciple."
"You..."
"He is my disciple."
"..."
Seeing that he couldn't argue with Broad Hill, Dugu Bo simply shut his mouth, came to his Granddaughter, and whispered, while occasionally glancing in Broad Hill's direction.
