Chapter 127: Golden Crocodile Douluo Takes a Disciple!
[Your information was quickly sent to Pope Hall. The elders looked at one another. Although you possessed talent, your martial soul was ordinary. It would be difficult for you to achieve truly great accomplishments.]
[None of the elders were willing to take you as a disciple. Pope Bibi Dong was likewise uninterested in you.]
[Information about you reached the Douluo Hall. After the Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo reviewed your file, his eyes widened slightly as if he had discovered a priceless treasure.]
[Under the astonished gazes of Bibi Dong and the assembled elders, Golden Crocodile Douluo personally set out for the Spirit Hall branch where you were located.]
[You soon met Golden Crocodile Douluo. After learning his identity, you were genuinely shocked.]
[Logically speaking, a Body martial soul should not receive much attention. So why was the one coming to take you away from the Second Worship of Spirit Hall? This was a rank ninety-eight peak Super Douluo, an absolute titan among powerhouses!]
[With his hands clasped behind his back, Golden Crocodile Douluo calmly asked whether you were willing to become his disciple. Without the slightest hesitation, you agreed.]
[Others might not know how terrifying this man truly was, but you did.]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo did not take you to hunt a soul ring. Instead, he brought you directly back to the Douluo Hall. The other worship elders were quite curious about you, but Golden Crocodile Douluo did not explain.]
[He began concocting medicinal formulas, applying them to your body. He even placed you into a barrel filled with medicinal liquid. You felt an unbearable itch spread across your entire body, your skin turning bright red, yet you did not utter a single sound.]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo glanced at you in surprise and asked whether you weren't curious.]
[You shook your head.]
[The less curious you appeared, the more he wanted to explain. He told you he was tempering your physique, allowing your body to withstand greater soul power while strengthening your constitution.]
[A faint twitch appeared at the corner of your eye, as if recalling something.]
[You told Golden Crocodile Douluo that whale rubber was even more effective the higher the age, and the better the results.]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo was stunned. He looked at you in astonishment. Whale Rubber was something nobles typically used for… that sort of purpose. Yet, you actually knew it had other uses.]
[He neither fully believed nor dismissed your claim. He decided to test it on you.]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo procured a thousand-year whale rubber. After refining it, he had you consume it…]
[After a period of intense suffering, your physique was strengthened.]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned. You had actually been right!]
[He then brought out a ten-thousand-year whale rubber and had you swallow it…]
[At his level, acquiring such materials was not difficult.]
[You were strengthened once again…]
[The way Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at you changed completely. With just the discovery regarding whale rubber alone, you had made an outstanding contribution to Spirit Hall. That alone would qualify you to become an honorary elder!]
[He reported the matter to Qian Daoliu and the other worship elders. The entire group was dumbfounded.]
[None of them had expected that the Second Worship's disciple would know such a secret technique!]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo had originally taken you in because he valued your aptitude and because of his family's inherited secret technique for strengthening the physique.]
[With your Body martial soul, you might be even more suited to this technique than he was. That was the true reason he had accepted you.]
[But you had brought him an unexpected delight!]
[Half a year later, Golden Crocodile Douluo finally took you to Star Dou Forest to hunt soul beasts. He asked whether you dared to break convention and absorb a soul ring beyond your level.]
[Your steps paused briefly, as though something had surfaced in your mind. A strange smile curved at your lips.]
[You nodded. Not only would you absorb beyond your level, but you would also become the first Body Soul Master to undergo a second martial soul awakening!]
[You had never forgotten what happened back then.]
[The noble and his servants.]
[With just a single word from you now, they would die.]
[But you did not choose that path.]
[You would make them wish they were dead.]
[Not just them.]
[This world was already rotten and sick to the core.]
[The world should not be like this.]
[Before fulfilling your dream, you first need strength.]
[You arrived at Star Dou Forest. Your luck was excellent. You encountered a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear just over a thousand years old. Upon seeing it, you fell silent.]
Wang Li: "..."
How could he not?
How many times had he encountered this kind of super soul beast already?
Just wait. After absorbing the soul ring, he'd probably obtain its external soul bone as well.
[Naturally, you were no match for it. Forget being a mere Soul Master; even if you were a Soul Elder or Soul Ancestor, escaping from a thousand-year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear would not be guaranteed.]
[With Golden Crocodile Douluo's assistance, you slew the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. It was extremely unwilling to accept its fate…]
[You absorbed its soul ring beyond your level and obtained the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's right palm bone.]
Wang Li: "..."
Of course.
[Your soul power skyrocketed from rank ten to rank twenty. Golden Crocodile Douluo was momentarily stunned, though it also seemed reasonable. After all, you had absorbed a thousand-year soul ring and consumed so many heavenly treasures he had provided…]
[You continued searching within Star Dou Forest. Your luck remained excellent. You encountered a three-thousand-year-old Golden Crocodile.]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo's martial soul was the Golden Crocodile King, the king among Golden Crocodiles. For him, this soul beast would have been suitable as his fourth soul ring. For you, it was equally suitable as your second soul ring.]
[You slew the Golden Crocodile and once again absorbed the soul ring beyond your level. You felt refreshed and invigorated.]
[Your luck helped you obtain a Golden Crocodile right arm bone. However, Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head, stored the soul bone away, and remarked that it would suit his great-grandson better. It was not appropriate for you.]
[You were indifferent.]
[It was merely a thousand-year soul bone.]
[Having lived for so many years, Golden Crocodile Douluo could easily see through your eyes. He was extremely satisfied with your composure.]
[He retrieved a box from his storage soul tool and spoke.]
["This was originally meant to be your gift upon reaching Soul Saint. I'll give it to you in advance."]
[You were momentarily stunned. Upon opening the box, you looked at him in disbelief.]
[Inside was an exceptionally complete right arm soul bone. The aura it emitted was terrifying beyond words!]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo explained that it was a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.]
[When he obtained his ninth soul ring back then, he had already possessed a full set of soul bones. Thus, he stored this one away.]
[His son lacked the aptitude. His grandson was not particularly impressive either. Neither was worthy of a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. So it fell into your hands.]
[You looked deeply at Golden Crocodile Douluo.]
[This teacher of yours… he truly…]
[You even felt that the God Realm should have a place for him. He seemed perfectly suited to become a First-Class God or even a God King.]
[You sat cross-legged, preparing to absorb the hundred-thousand-year soul bone.]
[It was the right arm bone of a Golden Crocodile King. After absorbing it, your physique would undergo an unimaginable enhancement.]
[After absorbing your second soul ring, your soul power surged once more, reaching rank twenty-six.]
[After absorbing the soul bone, your soul power rose again.]
[Rank thirty.]
[Golden Crocodile Douluo: ...]
[Even he had never imagined that a Soul Master could begin with such an outrageous foundation. After all, you were still one or two months away from turning seven!]
