The competition ended, and Tianlin returned to his previous life, practicing swordsmanship, body training, and researching talismans during the day, and cultivating spirit power at night. Half a year passed quickly.
During these six months, nothing major happened, and everything was calm.
Only the Royal Fight members returned to the Academy and collectively went through graduation procedures, although Meng Shenji was very reluctant to part with these ten amazingly talented children.
But as a teacher, he couldn't restrict the growth of his students. Tianlin, for example, was already approaching level sixty, and would be qualified to be a Heaven Dou Tier teacher, let alone a student.
The wider world outside was the stage for these geniuses.
In addition, Tianlin also attended several weddings, including those of teachers Qin Ming and Zhou Yan, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, the Shi Family's two elder brothers and their wives, and Huan Yin and Yu Feng.
Tianlin himself was still too young to get married, but Ning Fengzhi kept his promise and held an engagement ceremony for him and Ning Rongrong. Gu Ran was still pursuing Ye Lingling, and although he hadn't fully succeeded, he was making good progress.
Tianlin often lamented how quickly time passed. Before he knew it, the Royal Fight members all had their own homes.
However, he always felt like he had forgotten something, but he was too lazy to think about it. The Royal Fight Team were all geniuses, so it was impossible for anyone to be single, right? Moreover, Tianlin's current level had officially broken through sixty, but he was not in a hurry to hunt for a Spirit Ring, but had been researching something.
Until today, he finally succeeded.
Inside the room, a talisman flickering with golden light and emitting endless Sword Qi was quietly floating in mid-air. This was the Shu Mountain single-target attack talisman, Demon Flame Void Sever.
Its power depended on the cultivator's cultivation level, and could unleash several times the cultivator's limit attack power. With Tianlin's current strength, this talisman was enough to kill some ordinary Titled Douluo.
"Demon Flame Void Sever, finally completed!" Tianlin was very excited. With this, plus the plan he had prepared a few years ago, he had full confidence in hunting that 100,000-year Spirit Ring alone.
His target was naturally the Behemoth, but that guy had been staying in the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest. Tianlin couldn't bring Chen Xin with him, otherwise, with Chen Xin's cultivation and Sword Qi, it would easily attract the attention of those Ferocious Beasts. Therefore, this time he had to hunt alone.
With the completion of the Demon Flame Void Sever, the time to hunt the Behemoth had come.
Tianlin did not say goodbye to Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, nor did he explain the truth, because he knew that they would definitely not allow him to do such a dangerous thing alone.
However, with the Soul Hunting Operation approaching, Tianlin's mentality became more urgent. He had to become stronger and stronger in a short period of time in order to protect his family in the future.
At night, Tianlin quietly opened the door, used Teleport, and without disturbing anyone, carried the newly made Demon Flame Void Sever and two Star Shift Talismans, and slipped out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
In fact, all his actions were within the sight of Chen Xin and Gu Rong. After all, Chen Xin had reached level ninety-eight, and Gu Rong was also a Titled Douluo proficient in spatial abilities. It was impossible to hide from them with Teleport.
"Old Sword Man, Xiao Tian is going to hunt for his sixth ring, right? He's being so careful and deliberately avoiding us. I'm afraid his target is not a small character. Are you really at ease letting him go alone?" Gu Rong asked.
Chen Xin calmly closed his eyes, "It doesn't matter, I know my disciple. If he doesn't have full confidence, he won't take risks easily. I have taught him everything I can teach him. He can decide what path he wants to take."
"Moreover, when it really gets dangerous, he will naturally call me."
Chen Xin looked at the Star Shift Talisman in his hand. He had already decided that before Tianlin came back, he would rather not eat, drink, sleep, or cultivate, and just stare at the talisman, ready at any time.
Gu Rong couldn't help but roll his eyes. This Old Sword Man was indeed a tsundere! After Tianlin left the sect, he did not rush to the Star Dou Great Forest, but went to Gale Valley in the Sunset Forest, where he obtained his third and fifth Spirit Rings. He wanted to prepare something there.
After all, the place where the Behemoth was located was not only guarded by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, but also very close to the Lake of Life. There, even if Tianlin could defeat it with a plan, it would be wishful thinking to hunt it, and it would even be easy to be killed in the process of absorbing the Spirit Ring.
Therefore, the real hunting location should not be the Star Dou Great Forest, but this Gale Valley.
"Very good, preparation complete!" Tianlin engraved the coordinates on the cliff of the valley, and transmitted his voice with his soul, "Brother Tianmeng, now, I will avenge you. Before facing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, I will take its younger brother as interest."
"Haha, I've been waiting for a long time, go ahead, Xiao Tian, with me and you working together, there are no enemies we can't defeat." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was also impatient, and it was looking forward to this day coming soon.
A few days later, Tianlin and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm once again entered the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
With Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's means of concealing his aura, he easily found the previous cave.
However, neither the Behemoth nor the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear were present at this time. According to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, they usually stayed in the very center of the Lake of Life to cultivate, only returning once every few days.
And the purpose of their return was to feed. Both the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Behemoth had the bloodline of the Golden Behemoth within them. Besides being extremely carnivorous, they also liked to eat gold, which was why they occupied this golden cave as their territory.
In other words, Tianlin needed to be prepared to stay here for several days.
He didn't stay inside the cave. Instead, he concealed his aura and hid in a large tree near the cave, remaining unmoved despite the wind and sun. When hungry, he ate Pills to replenish his Qi and blood, and when thirsty, he drank dew.
After all, this was deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, where Soul Beasts of tens of thousands of years could be seen everywhere. Being discovered would be no joke.
This wait lasted a full half month. On the night of the sixteenth day, Tianlin finally felt the ground tremble. Two enormous creatures were approaching from afar, heading towards the cave step by step.
"Finally here. You're not very gluttonous, cultivating in the Lake of Life for more than half a month before returning to feed," Tianlin chuckled.
Then, he jumped down from the tree and ran to a place about five kilometers away from the cave.
As Tianlin's level increased, and the Gale Demon Wolf right leg bone evolved into a 100,000-year Spirit Bone, the Teleport distance increased a hundredfold.
The first thing Tianlin needed to do was lure the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear out, then Teleport back. Otherwise, as long as it was by the side of that Behemoth, he would have no chance to complete the hunt.
And the key to attracting the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
