Chapter 208 News of the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast
Just as the opposing leader was confronting Wu Heyi, the opposing forces moved swiftly like a tide. They were well-trained and deployed their formations, forming a tight and orderly semi-encirclement that completely surrounded the village where Wu Heyi was located.
The entire encirclement was like an impregnable fortress, making the villagers feel suffocated and terrified.
"Hmph, now you only have two paths to choose from."
First, obediently hand over the person to me, and without reservation teach me your method of absorbing soul rings with 100% certainty;
Secondly, if you insist on not complying, then don't blame me for being impolite. I will immediately lead my men into the village to search, and how many innocent people will lose their lives then is beyond my control!
The opposing leader threatened with a ferocious expression, his greedy and ambitious eyes fixed on Wu Heyi and the others.
At this moment, seeing that his subordinates had successfully completed the encirclement of the village, he felt even more confident and thus revealed his hand to Wu Heyi and the others without any concealment.
In fact, anyone with discerning eyes could see that the leader's so-called demand for people was just a pretext. His real purpose was clearly to try to obtain the magical method that Wu Heyi possessed, which could guarantee a 100% success rate in absorbing soul rings.
After all, for any cultivator, such a heaven-defying method undoubtedly possesses an irresistible and immense temptation.
Despite the other party's aggressive stance, Wu Heyi remained remarkably calm and composed.
He calmly swept his gaze over the arrogant and domineering enemy before him, a faint smile playing on his lips.
With years of experience and keen insight, Wu Heyi immediately saw through the other party's true cultivation level—sure enough, this person had already reached the level of a level 29 Great Soul Master.
Just one step away from breaking through to level 30, it's truly the final push!
With a crucial moment of breakthrough looming ahead, the other party was unusually eager for a method to absorb the spirit ring with 100% accuracy.
It is speculated that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they have likely paid a heavy price in lives for this!
It is worth mentioning that this tribe is large, with more than two thousand people.
However, when Wu Heyi began to probe their soul power, he discovered that although there were many of them, only twenty or thirty could truly be called soul masters.
Moreover, most of these Soul Masters' cultivation levels are around level ten. What's worse, their cultivation levels are extremely volatile and unstable, and they have no solid foundation whatsoever!
Clearly, this phenomenon indicates that their cultivation level was not obtained through normal cultivation, but rather by forcibly increasing it by consuming a large number of soul rings.
While this approach may lead to a certain degree of growth in strength in the short term, it is actually a case of forcing growth and does not benefit one's long-term development.
What's even more ridiculous is that those Soul Masters with even a little cultivation would tremble with fear as soon as they saw their leader release his Martial Soul, like birds startled by a bow.
It is clear that these so-called Soul Masters are powerless against overwhelming forces and are nothing more than a bunch of lab rats to be manipulated.
After some observation and analysis, Wu Heyi understood:
It turns out that the tribe's leader used these people as test subjects, using them to rapidly improve their cultivation and try to absorb soul rings of different ages in order to find the most suitable age of soul beasts at level 30, thus paving the way for his own breakthrough.
It must be said that this leader's scheming was extremely profound!
Before them, countless lives must have perished on this land.
Moreover, it is conceivable that a very clear hierarchy existed within the tribe they lived in.
The high and mighty leader often used his powerful martial spirit to punish those who made mistakes or disobeyed him.
Over time, these followers naturally developed a deep fear of their leader's martial spirit.
However, at this moment, Wu Heyi appeared remarkably calm and composed, showing no sign of anxiety or tension whatsoever.
This was not due to his blind confidence or feigned composure, but because he already knew everything in his heart—he understood all too well what the other party truly wanted.
If this method of absorbing soul rings with 100% success rate could be easily obtained through threats, intimidation, or bribery, then...
Then the other side would probably have led a large number of troops to attack us long ago, so why would they be entangled with Wu Heyi and the others here like this?
Clearly, the other side's seemingly mild but actually cunning strategy is not simply aimed at a military attack.
Wu Heyi knew that the reason the other side sent people to surround the entire village was to create a strong atmosphere of intimidation.
They attempted to exert immense psychological pressure on Wu Heyi and his villagers in this way, forcing them to eventually give up resistance and obediently hand over the mysterious method that could achieve 100% absorption of soul rings.
However, at that very moment, an even more intriguing thought suddenly came to Wu Heyi's mind:
Why is the other party so eager to obtain this unique method?
What unknown secrets and motives are hidden behind this?
The idea that suddenly popped into Wu Heyi's mind was certainly not unfounded or without reason.
After careful calculation, he roughly estimated the number of Soul Masters in the opposing camp to be around twenty or thirty.
However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, their numbers should have been considerably larger before then.
Let's assume for now that the other side originally had a total of 50 people.
Therefore, if we adopt the tedious method of trying each one individually, it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out the maximum cultivation level of a Soul Beast that a level 30 Soul Master can withstand.
After all, there is strength in numbers. As long as we are willing to put in the effort to test each one, we can eventually get a relatively accurate conclusion.
Strangely, the other party seemed uninterested in this simple and direct method, instead focusing intently on finding the so-called "100% soul ring absorption" method.
Upon seeing this, Wu Heyi's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized the problem—the other party's painstaking pursuit of the perfect method for absorbing spirit rings was most likely because they were trying to obtain spirit rings that were over ten thousand years old!
Thinking of this, Wu Heyi couldn't help but grin.
This truly proves the old saying:
"I searched high and low without finding it, but then it came to me effortlessly!"
The ten-thousand-year-old soul beast that he had been searching for for so long was now known to someone who knew its hiding place. What was even more surprising was that the person who had the key information had actually come to his door!
Isn't this a wonderful opportunity bestowed by heaven?
Wu Heyi thought to himself, his smile growing even brighter.
