Six Years Later

At the edge of the Far North's snowy plains.

Two people, one flying through the air, the other riding on the back of a gigantic golden crocodile.

They were racing along.

The two were Golden Crocodile Douluo and Su Mu.

"Kid, you've obtained your Sixth Soul Ring."

"What are you planning to do next?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo tilted his head slightly and looked up at Su Mu in midair as he asked.

"Go back to Sunset Forest."

Su Mu replied.

"You've already spent six years in that place."

"You're still going to stay there?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Su Mu and sighed.

"I'll wait a little longer."

"One more year, and then I'll stop waiting."

Su Mu looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo and explained.

Golden Crocodile Douluo sighed and said nothing more.

Although he didn't know what Su Mu was waiting for.

Golden Crocodile Douluo knew the kid had to have his own plans.

Besides, he had discovered an area in Sunset Forest concealed by poisonous miasma.

He had originally wanted to explore it.

But Su Mu had talked him out of it.

"Kid! Watch out!"

Just then, Golden Crocodile Douluo sensed that something was wrong.

He shouted at Su Mu.

Hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's warning.

Su Mu shot higher into the air.

At that moment, a gigantic scorpion tail burst from the snow and stabbed straight at Su Mu.

After dodging the strike.

Su Mu couldn't help cursing inwardly.

All I did was hunt down one of your Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast leaders, wasn't it?

Did you have to chase us all the way here?

Just then, a gigantic ice-and-snow scorpion burst all the way out of the snow.

It blocked their path.

Behind them, a scorpion whose entire body was like crystal was racing madly toward them.

"Hurry up and go, kid."

"I'll hold them off for you. These scorpions have gone mad."

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Su Mu and urgently told him.

"You want me to leave you here to feed the scorpions??"

"You could beat one or two, but with this many, they'd wear you to death."

As he spoke, Su Mu released his Three-Headed Flood Dragon Martial Soul.

As his Soul Power had grown.

The Three-Headed Flood Dragon's form had also become much more solid and imposing.

Beneath Su Mu's feet were purple, black, black, black, red, red.

Six Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet.

Even though Golden Crocodile Douluo had seen this terrifying Soul Ring configuration who knew how many times.

He was still stunned every time he saw it again.

"Old man, get out of the way."

Hearing Su Mu's warning, Golden Crocodile Douluo knew what Su Mu was about to do and hurried behind him.

"Third Soul Skill, Dark Gold Roar."

As Su Mu's third Soul Ring lit up, the Three-Headed Flood Dragon behind him swelled in size.

Roar~~~

Three enormous black dragon heads opened their gaping maws and roared, the sound almost tangible as it swept down over the scorpions below.

As his Soul Power increased, this skill's suppression of beast-type Soul Beasts and Martial Souls had also become increasingly pronounced.

In an instant, some scorpions less than ten thousand years old were shaken to death by the sound waves.

The older scorpions were also temporarily suppressed.

"Hurry, go."

Su Mu landed on the back of Golden Crocodile Douluo's golden crocodile.

With a few leaps, the golden crocodile left the Far North behind, and only when they saw the lush green forest did the two breathe a sigh of relief.

"Kid, when you got your Fifth Soul Ring, the Star Dou Great Forest nearly erupted in chaos."

"Now, after your Sixth Soul Ring, I'm afraid the Far North has put you on its blacklist too."

"Where are you going to get your Seventh Soul Ring later on??"

"Just get a ten-thousand-year one. How many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts do you think there are?!"

Although Golden Crocodile Douluo was complaining, the smile on his face never faded.

Hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words.

Su Mu gave a helpless smile.

After hunting down the eighty-five-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King for his fourth Soul Ring.

Su Mu had chosen a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for his fifth Soul Ring.

Su Mu hadn't dared provoke the Sky Azure Bull Python or Tai Tan.

After all, he had only Golden Crocodile Douluo with him.

Although Golden Crocodile Douluo was very powerful in battle, he still had to split his attention to protect him.

So they had found a lone Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, a tiger-type Soul Beast.

The result was that the other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Had chased them right out of the forest.

For his Sixth Soul Ring, Su Mu had followed the principle of not plucking all the wool from one sheep.

He hadn't gone back to the Star Dou Great Forest.

He had gone to the Far North.

As a result, after he finished absorbing it, the Snow Empress had led a group after them.

What left Su Mu speechless was.

Nothing like this had happened in the original story in his previous life.

"When the cart reaches the mountain, a road will appear."

Su Mu replied with a smile.

Isn't Xiao Wu's still available?

He just didn't know how Xiao Wu was doing now.

The two traveled without stopping until they returned to a small courtyard at the edge of Sunset Forest, where Su Mu had stayed for six years.

"I'm back."

Su Mu pushed open the courtyard gate and found that Gu Yuena wasn't there.

But on second thought, a smile appeared at the corner of Su Mu's mouth.

Gu Yuena's Soul Power had also reached level 40.

She had probably gone out to hide for a few days again, and when she came back, she would have successfully "hunted down" a Soul Ring of the perfect age.

"That girl went out?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo asked after coming in.

"That girl is the one who doesn't make people worry."

"When she gets a Soul Ring, she never troubles anyone else."

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Su Mu with disdain as he spoke.

Su Mu smiled and spread his hands to show there was nothing he could do about it.

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly, Golden Crocodile Douluo seemed to sense something, and his figure vanished in a flash.

Before long, Golden Crocodile Douluo returned to the courtyard.

"There's something I need to tell you."

Hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, Su Mu looked puzzled.

"Big Brother just had someone deliver a secret order."

"He wants us to go to the Star Dou Empire and help Xue'er."

"Xue'er?"

Su Mu murmured.

Could it be Qian Renxue?

What danger is Qian Renxue in at this time?

What are we going to help him with?

Not wanting to get too deeply involved with Spirit Hall, Su Mu hadn't been there at all this whole time.

And Golden Crocodile Douluo had been away all these years. Could Qian Xunji have thought that Golden Crocodile wasn't doing anything out here anyway, so he was sending him to look after her?

"You'll find out who Xue'er is when you get there."

"Are you going?"

"Or should I go by myself?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Su Mu and asked.

Su Mu thought it over.

There were still six months before the Shrek Seven Devils enrolled.

There shouldn't be any problems here at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He didn't have anything to do right now, either.

"I'll go!"

Su Mu agreed.

Seeing Su Mu agree, Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled.

He's finally willing to have more contact with my Spirit Hall.

All these years I spent helping you hide your Soul Power and Soul Ring configuration weren't wasted after all.

"Get your things together. We'll set off right away."

Golden Crocodile Douluo instructed.

Su Mu thought about it, but there was nothing he needed to prepare.

Before leaving, though, he left a letter for Gu Yuena.

At the edge of Sunset Forest.

A shapely young woman dressed in a tight black outfit.

She walked while looking back, as though hiding from something.

Suddenly, the young woman stepped into empty air.

Her whole body stumbled.

The young woman couldn't help looking down.

Whatever she thought of, her face turned red.
