Chapter 39: The Iron Golden Triangle

In fact, for most soul masters, regardless of the type of soul ring they absorb, the seventh soul skill they ultimately gain will only be the True Body of the Martial Soul.

But Su Mo knows better.

If some weapon soul masters can absorb the soul ring of a specific soul beast, then the seventh soul skill they obtain will not be just an ordinary True Body of the Martial Soul, but rather a Weapon Soul True Body!

This is a unique spiritual true body that possesses the characteristics of both the weapon soul true body and the beast soul true body.

Just like the Snake Lance Douluo from the original work, his spiritual true body is this special type of weapon soul true body, and the power he displays is extremely strong.

In any case, Su Mo feels a bit envious.

As for how to obtain the Weapon Soul True Body, Su Mo studied it for a long time in the Spirit Hall and eventually established a few rules.

That is, as long as the seventh soul ring absorbed by the weapon soul master comes from a soul beast that has certain body parts resembling their martial soul, it is possible to obtain the Weapon Soul True Body.

For example, the spirit of Snake Lance Douluo is a three-meter snake lance.

Because the two heads of the two-headed serpent soul beast resemble the tip of a spear, the spear spirit can obtain the Weapon Soul True Body after absorbing the soul ring of the two-headed snake.

According to the rules Su Mo summarized, if the spirit master with a spear spirit absorbs the soul ring of the Dark Evil God Tiger as the seventh soul ring, it's very likely they would gain the Weapon Soul True Body of the Dark Evil God Tiger.

The same goes for Su Mo's Death Scythe spirit.

Since the double blades of the mantis soul beast are very similar in shape to Su Mo's scythe spirit, based on Su Mo's speculation, if his seventh soul ring comes from the mantis soul beast, he will likely gain the Weapon Soul True Body.

Now, Su Mo wants to find a mantis soul beast with the highest possible cultivation in the Great Star Dou Forest.

In the dense and vast primeval forest, towering century-old trees stood tall. Above them, the lush canopies were like umbrellas, with dense overlapping leaves that blocked even the midday sun, casting only dappled shadows on the ground.

At that moment, Su Mo was flying swiftly above the tall trees alongside Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan and Ghost Douluo Guimei. Their bodies appeared extremely light, and their speed was dizzying. Ordinary people could only see afterimages.

As they advanced, the three constantly explored their surroundings, trying to find a mantis soul beast living in the forest.

It must be said that the Great Star Dou Forest is undoubtedly the forest with the largest number and variety of soul beasts on the Douluo Continent!

Although the mantis soul beast is a relatively rare existence among insect-type soul beasts, they still found quite a few along the way.

Among them were the common sword mantises, as well as the rarer ghost mantises, wind ghost blade mantises, thunder purple jade mantises, and explosive flame sword mantises.

Unfortunately, the cultivation of these mantis soul beasts did not meet Su Mo's requirements, with the highest being only 30,000 years.

But the mantis soul beast Su Mo wanted to hunt had to be at least 50,000 years old!

To find a mantis soul beast with a cultivation of more than 50,000 years, Su Mo, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan, and Ghost Douluo Guimei had been tirelessly searching the inner circle of the Great Star Dou Forest.

Even after three consecutive days of searching, they still had not found a mantis soul beast with cultivation over 50,000 years.

Yet Su Mo didn't give up.

In the original work, since the three brothers of the Ant King Qianjun, each with cultivation close to 100,000 years, appeared in the Great Star Dou Forest, it was certain that soul beasts with similar cultivation levels, including mantis-type, existed there.

In any case, if they couldn't find one in the inner circle, they would eventually find one in the central area!

Just as Su Mo, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan, and Ghost Douluo Guimei continued their search, they spotted a very unusual mountain in the distance.

The mountain was red and black, with few trees. Almost everywhere were exposed black rocks and dense red shrubs and grasses.

The closer they got to the mountain, the fewer trees there were; the farther away, the more lush the vegetation became.

It looked like an extinct volcano!

Su Mo wasn't surprised to find an extinct volcano in the Great Star Dou Forest.

Because the Great Star Dou Forest basically spans the entire Douluo Continent. Although its surface area may not be a fifth of the continent, it is definitely more than a seventh.

Given it occupies such a large area of the Douluo Continent, isn't it normal for it to contain varied terrain?

"Xiao Mo, that looks like an extinct volcano. Should we go take a look?"

Seeing the volcano in the distance, Yueguan pointed and asked:

"Of course! In this kind of special terrain, soul beasts with similar attributes and high cultivation levels usually reside. Maybe I'll find a 50,000-year sword mantis there."

Su Mo looked at the volcano in the distance, expressionless, then nodded and said:

"Let's go!"

After speaking, Su Mo took the lead and flew toward the distant volcano, quickly followed by Yueguan and Guimei.

The three moved with incredible agility. In just a few minutes, they arrived at the foot of the volcano.

However, from a distance, the volcano didn't appear large, but upon arrival, they realized it was quite massive.

It stood over 10,000 meters tall. From the base of the mountain, the trees growing near the summit were lush and green, with such a large area they could almost be considered a forest!

After reaching the volcano's base, climbing up the steep slopes through countless red trees, shrubs, and grasses, the three flew quickly toward the summit.

Along the way, Su Mo saw many fire-attributed soul beasts, including the common fire lizards in volcanic regions, as well as red fire snakes, fire foxes, fire leopards, lava-armored rhinos, and flame-patterned horned goats.

Among them were some with low cultivation—only a few years or a few hundred—but also many with thousands of years of cultivation. Judging by their numbers, Su Mo felt that the leaders of these soul beasts must have reached ten thousand years of cultivation, and likely even higher.

Just as Su Mo and the others were about to reach the summit of the extinct volcano—

A golden beam of light suddenly shot up from the forest at the top, accompanied by a violent fluctuation of soul power and a thunderous dragon roar.

Under the stunned gaze of Su Mo and the others,

an enormous golden dragon with wings on its back, covered in golden scales and exuding a mighty dragon aura, instantly appeared in the sky, roaring and spraying a massive golden beam of light toward the ground.

"What is that?!"

Seeing the golden dragon appear atop the mountain, the three were stunned and couldn't help but accelerate. Soon, they reached the volcano's peak.

Upon arriving at the summit,

in the dense red forest, a huge red giant lizard was constantly moving and dodging with a speed completely disproportionate to its size, roaring and screeching from time to time.

Not far from the giant lizard, two men and a woman formed a triangle formation, enveloped in golden light.

Above their heads, the giant golden dragon roared and growled in the air, waving its claws and tail at the giant lizard and occasionally spitting golden beams of light, instantly destroying large swaths of forest and ground with astonishing power.

"Aren't they... Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender?"

When Su Mo arrived at the battlefield, not far from the clash between the golden dragon and the massive red lizard, he noticed the trio forming the formation and recognized one of them, leaving him momentarily stunned.
