It has to be said that this sudden five-level winning streak brought Su Chen some unnecessary trouble.
If other Soul Masters heard this, they would definitely want to die together with him.
Versailles shouldn't be like this, right?
But for Su Chen, not only was his plan interrupted, but his research on the soul bone was also effectively terminated. If he wanted to continue his research, he would have to find a second ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.
The soul bone could still be absorbed, but Su Chen could sense that the energy and skill power contained within it were reduced to less than one-tenth. Not only could it not improve his soul power and physique, but he might even have to sacrifice his own soul power to use the skills that had been reduced to nine-tenths.
Furthermore, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo never stopped looking at him like he was a monster.
As they approached the great forest, Su Chen finally couldn't stand their gazes any longer and blurted out.
"I didn't want to break through in such a short time, okay? Can you please stop looking at me like that?"
Ghost Douluo:
Chrysanthemum Douluo:
"Do you know how much my research progress will be delayed by breaking through these five levels? No, you don't know, you only care about yourselves."
Ghost Douluo:
Chrysanthemum Douluo:
"If I could, I would trade five levels to bring back the lost time."
The boy sighed helplessly.
This isn't bragging; you can level up any way you want, but researching natural energy is not so easy.
"I can't take it anymore, I can't stand it, I'm such a bastard!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes were bloodshot. He rolled up his sleeves, ready to give this little brat who was already poking at people's hearts a lesson in childhood.
Listen, listen!
Do people say that?
Is this something a human being could say?
Translate this for me: what the hell do you mean by "I'm willing to trade five levels of experience for lost time"?
"Calm down, Old Chrysanthemum! The way you bully him now is the way he'll bully you ten years from now. Who knows, we might even have to work for him in the future!"
Ghost Douluo quickly pulled his good brother aside and gave him earnest advice.
This kid is ridiculously talented; in terms of overall talent, he's already surpassing the granddaughter of that high priest.
Given the Pope's current affection for him, if he grows up safely, he is almost certainly the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.
Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately wilted.
My good brother makes a lot of sense. Although I'm resentful, that kid is really... sigh!
The boy noticed his resentful gaze and raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm, what's wrong? Has Elder Ju finally realized my predicament?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo:
"Old Ghost, don't you fucking stop me! I'm going to kill this brat today!!"
"Calm down, old man, calm down!!"
"Aaaaaaah!!"
Amidst the commotion, the three finally arrived at their destination.
Starry Sky Forest!
Ancient trees that blot out the sky, an endless green sea, a deep abyss, and fireflies filling the sky.
No matter how many times he saw it, this forest always gave Su Chen a slight sense of awe.
"Little Su Chen, what are your thoughts on your second spirit ring?"
The three stopped on the outskirts, and Ghost Douluo asked.
Bibi Dong specifically instructed Su Chen not to interfere too much with his spirit rings, but to just let Su Chen make his own decisions.
The two had no objections, after all, even they were completely baffled by Su Chen's martial soul called chakra.
"If possible, please help me find a water-attribute soul beast, around four to six thousand years old?"
Su Chen pondered for a moment and then gave his answer.
If his research is correct, and the use of the Five Elements Escape Technique requires finding a corresponding attribute soul ring, then for the first ring, Su Chen still leans more towards water.
Unlike fire and lightning, which are extreme offensive techniques, water-style ninjutsu is not as defensive as earth-style ninjutsu. It is relatively balanced overall, with powerful offensive techniques like Water Dragon Bullet and defensive techniques like Water Transformation Technique, which is practically an elemental overpowered technique.
Most importantly, Su Chen really wanted to try and see if he could use the characteristics of the spirit rings to fuse with the bloodline limit!
The simplest, and of course one of the most powerful, Wood Release is formed by the fusion of Water Release and Earth Release.
Given the numerous limitations of Earth Release, the first choice naturally becomes Water Release.
"A water-attribute soul beast that is between four and six thousand years old?"
Ghost Douluo stroked his chin and nodded. "No problem, wait four to six thousand years. Isn't this your second ring?"
He looked at Su Chen with some surprise.
Didn't that master say that the limit of the second ring should be nine hundred years?
The second ring is between four and six thousand years old, so where does my fourth ring stand in terms of prestige?
Is there a problem?
Su Chen looked at him in confusion, "My first ring is three thousand years, isn't four thousand to six thousand years a reasonable range for the second ring?"
Ghost Douluo fell silent.
He suddenly realized that common sense was useless when it came to this monstrous talent.
According to Su Chen, this year is absolutely not reasonable!
It would only make sense to apply this to him!
"Forget it, this kid knows what he's doing."
This time, it was Chrysanthemum Douluo who spoke up to comfort him, "Look, he didn't even ask for a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, did he?"
Ghost Douluo:
Thank you so much!
The second question is: will we, the titled Douluo, even survive for ten thousand years?
"Keep looking, keep looking. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can leave. We still haven't gotten any results from what happened last time."
Yue Guan patted Gui Mei on the shoulder, his expression slightly serious.
He was referring to the last time the Silkworm of Linwu and the Thousand-Year Wolf Clan appeared on the outermost edge of the area. Later, the Spirit Hall sent people to investigate, but they found nothing.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen recalled that he seemed to have felt locked onto by some powerful being last time, but he had forgotten about it because he was too busy.
It should be fine, right?
Even if the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python came out together, whether they could defeat two Title Douluos was another matter, but escaping would definitely not be a problem.
Unless all those ferocious beasts come out together.
But that's unlikely. Right now, they should be lying in the ominous place, absorbing the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworms. How could they possibly have time to come out and cause him trouble?
"Okay, let's split up and search, but don't go too far apart. Xiao Su Chen, you come with me."
Ghost Douluo nodded, grabbed Su Chen's shoulder, and flew deep into the great forest. The two of them spread their spiritual power and carefully searched for each soul beast.
Meanwhile—
Deep within the Starry Sky Forest.
The almost tangible spiritual energy of heaven and earth transformed into a bluish light that enveloped the area. The clear lake shimmered, its beauty enhanced by the sunlight, which was broken down into seven colors. Countless rare and exotic flowers flourished here, vying for attention and slowly stretching their full bodies in the gentle breeze.
This is a treasure trove that defies description.
However, in the Starry Sky Forest, where every inch of land is fiercely contested and battles rage day and night, this precious place appears remarkably peaceful. Birds roost in tranquility, and fish swim freely, like a beautiful paradise.
Not far from the lake.
A round, white, silkworm-shaped soul beast cautiously wriggled its body, its small, golden eyes occasionally glancing at the two enormous, snoring creatures in front of it.
Seeing that its movements seemed to have gone unnoticed, a bead of cold sweat dripped down the smooth head of the silkworm-shaped soul beast. It breathed a sigh of relief and continued to slowly and steadily wriggle forward.
Finally, through its tireless efforts, it climbed to the other side of the lake.
Seeing that the two enormous creatures remained motionless, the silkworm-shaped soul beast couldn't help but grin, its heart overflowing with joy.
Is my brother really going to escape this time?
Are you trying to escape this dark and hopeless hell?
God knows what kind of life it's been living all these years!
Thinking about how it had been treated like a snack and bullied for thousands of years, it couldn't help but feel sad and its eyes reddened.
"If I weren't incapable of crying, I'd be in tears right now!!"
Fortunately, all of this is over today!
Once I escape, I'll immediately find a Title Douluo to sacrifice myself to. Then, I'll be free to roam the mountains and leap across the seas. What can you soul beasts do to me?
With my brother's help, once that Title Douluo becomes a god, none of you who bullied me will escape!
As it imagined the wonderful things, the silkworm-shaped soul beast couldn't help but squint its eyes and chuckle.
"What good news have you thought of, Tianmeng? Why are you smiling so happily?"
A deep voice came from behind, and Tianmeng answered instinctively.
"Of course, it's all of you—!"
But the next second, it suddenly realized what was happening, its whole body stiffened, and its head slowly turned back.
A giant bear and a three-headed mastiff looked at it with mockery in their eyes. Tianmeng could even feel the saliva dripping from their mouths, which felt hot as it fell beside her.
