【Task: Hunt a Tier 1 Mid-Stage Jaw Poison Scaled Wolf Beast.
Task Location: Search around Wolf Demon Valley in the Ghost Soul Valley.
Task Completion Standard: Bring back the Jaw Poison Scaled Wolf Beast's poison sac.
Merit Reward: 110 points.
Task Difficulty: Qi Refining Mid-Stage to Qi Refining Late-Stage.
This task was incompatible for Su Yuan.
The task clearly stated that the difficulty was between Qi Refining Mid-Stage and Late-Stage.
However, Su Yuan's identity token showed he was at Body Tempering Second Layer, equivalent to Qi Refining Early-Stage.
Even if Su Yuan dared to take it, the Hall Elder responsible for task certification wouldn't allow it.
But Su Yuan didn't care about that.
If the Elder didn't let him take the task, he'd just show his strength.
Holding the task jade token, Su Yuan went to the Hall Elder.
The Hall Elder glanced at Su Yuan's identity token and task jade token, then looked up at Su Yuan.
"I don't know if you've read the task difficulty carefully, but if you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish."
With that, a stream of mana linked the identity token and the task jade token.
This was the standard for successful task certification.
"Thank you, Elder."
After thanking the Elder, Su Yuan retrieved the two jade tokens and walked directly out of the task hall.
He hadn't expected the Hall Elder responsible for task certification to be such a hot-tempered fellow.
The task was actually approved.
Watching Su Yuan's departing figure.
The Hall Elder was a little surprised.
He thought that after his reminder, Su Yuan would realize that he didn't have the ability to complete the task.
He expected Su Yuan to beg him to undo the task certification, but instead, Su Yuan just left.
Although he knew some disciples liked to hide their cultivation.
But the cultivation certification on Su Yuan's jade token was updated almost every month.
This meant that Su Yuan was indeed at Body Tempering Second Layer before this month.
Unless Su Yuan had raised his cultivation by two entire levels in a month and reached Body Tempering Fourth Layer, he was qualified to take this task.
Otherwise, he was simply seeking death.
The Hall Elder couldn't believe that Su Yuan could raise his cultivation to Qi Refining Mid-Stage in a single day.
He could only shake his head and think that Su Yuan was someone who was seeking his own demise.
Leaving the task hall, Su Yuan headed straight for Ghost Soul Valley.
Ghost Soul Valley was vast and boundless, most parts of it were shrouded in purplish-blue poison gas all day long.
Within it, towering mountains, deep gorges, and dense forests were interwoven, stretching as far as the eye could see.
It was like an endless, mysterious realm.
Even if Su Yuan rushed to Wolf Demon Valley, it would take him a day.
While those who had a good family background could ride some flying artifacts, soaring through the sky, their speed was much faster than walking.
Looking at the blue sky, Su Yuan daydreamed, "When I have spirit stones, I must get a flying artifact to use, preferably one that looks like a flying sword."
After rushing through the night.
Finally, on the second night, Su Yuan arrived at Wolf Demon Valley.
However, Su Yuan wasn't in a hurry to find the Jaw Poison Scaled Wolf Beast.
Not only was it a Tier 1 Mid-Stage demon beast, but it was also highly poisonous.
Being bitten wasn't a joke.
Su Yuan found a hidden cave and called out to the system, "System, return to the Comprehensive Anime World."
【Initiating Teleportation!】
Back in the Comprehensive Anime World, Su Yuan lay down on the soft sofa, ready to sleep.
Why sleep in the wild when there was a soft and comfortable modern sofa?
Anyway, the time flow between the two worlds was 1:1, so when he woke up, it would be morning in the cultivation world.
The next morning.
Su Yuan returned to the cultivation world and paused the time in the Comprehensive Anime World.
Inside the cave, he looked around and found no one.
This made him relieved.
The only drawback of the inter-world teleportation was that it was easy to be discovered.
Leaving the cave, Su Yuan came to Wolf Demon Valley not far away.
Scattered bones were everywhere in the valley.
There were not only beast bones but also many human skulls.
After walking for about ten minutes.
A thin wolf demon responsible for guarding the perimeter appeared ahead.
Seeing a living person, a glint of greed flashed in the wolf demon's eyes.
Perhaps because it was hungry, the wolf demon didn't even issue a warning howl and ran straight towards Su Yuan.
In less than three seconds, the thirty-meter distance was shortened to five meters.
A single pounce and the wolf demon could knock Su Yuan down.
However, the wolf demon obviously underestimated Su Yuan's strength.
As it approached, it was punched in the head and died instantly.
This wolf demon was just the lowest level of existence in Wolf Demon Valley, responsible for the outermost perimeter warning.
This meant that there must be a pack of wolf demons nearby.
The task target, the Jaw Poison Scaled Wolf Beast, was considered an elite in Wolf Demon Valley.
Its status was below the Tier 2 Wolf King.
Therefore, Su Yuan had to go deeper into the valley.
And he couldn't alarm the wolf demon pack.
Su Yuan climbed onto a nearby cliff and began to observe.
A long time passed.
Su Yuan confirmed that there was a pack of wolf demons in the valley to the left and front.
Su Yuan did his best to conceal his scent and didn't dare get too close.
After confirming that the wolf demon pack had the Jaw Poison Scaled Wolf Beast, Su Yuan took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
As he chanted incantations and poured mana into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner trembled slightly.
It was like a giant beast awakened, emitting an aura that made people's hearts tremble.
Green flames ignited on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The flames flickered and danced, like ghost fires from the underworld, emitting a strange light.
The green ghost fires quickly spread, enveloping the entire Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of souls flew out from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
These souls were all in human form, and under the illumination of the green flames, they appeared even more sinister and terrifying.
"Go and lure those wolf demons away!"
As the order was issued, the souls immediately flew towards the wolf demon pack.
This was the soul manipulation combat technique within Soul Refining.
Su Yuan couldn't even handle the Tier 2 Wolf King in the wolf demon pack.
Not to mention the Jaw Poison Scaled Wolf Beast, whose strength was similar to his.
Once surrounded by the wolf demon pack, it would be a miracle if he could escape.
That was why the task difficulty was set to Qi Refining Mid-Stage to Qi Refining Late-Stage.
As the souls appeared, the wolf demon pack immediately became agitated.
One wolf demon after another bared its fangs and prepared for battle.
Su Yuan controlled the souls to spit out balls of green ghost fires.
The wolf demons whose fur was touched by the ghost fires burned their fur.
They rolled on the ground to extinguish the ghost fires.
It proved that saying, low damage but extremely humiliating.
The wolf demons were enraged.
Several wolf demons charged towards the souls and began to bite at them.
Unfortunately, physical attacks could not hurt souls.
Su Yuan continued to provoke, he wanted to completely ignite their anger.
Then he could lure the wolf pack away and deal with the Jaw Poison Scaled Wolf Beast alone.
However, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the souls.
Several souls were instantly dissipated.
Su Yuan was startled.
He saw the wolf pack giving way to a passage.
From the cave at the back.
A powerful and majestic thunder wolf king, three meters tall, walked out.
"Damn it, I didn't expect the leader of this wolf demon pack to be a Tier 2 Thunder Wolf King."
Thunder was naturally克制 to ghost objects.
Plus the Tier 2 Thunder Wolf King already had intelligence.
These souls without strong combat power were no match for the Thunder Wolf King at all.
Su Yuan immediately made a decision to withdraw the souls.
The Thunder Wolf King howled, and countless bolts of lightning erupted from its炸毛 body.
They struck the souls in mid-air.
Su Yuan wasn't yet proficient in controlling the souls, so dozens of souls were struck and dissipated.
However, Su Yuan's goal had been achieved.
Seeing that there were still souls fleeing, most of the wolf demons followed in pursuit.
Among them was the Jaw Poison Scaled Wolf Beast.
