The Little Earth Dragon Courting Death? The Soul Spirit Method [4K]
"Wulin..."
"Are you with Zhu Zhuqing now?"
Xiao Wu's eyes widened instantly. These words seemed to explode in her mind like a bolt from the blue, and she couldn't help but exclaim.
No...
How come Wulin and Zhu Zhuqing are already together?!
At this moment, a layer of gray visibly covered her bright eyes, and her emotions were clearly not pleasant.
"Um."
Zhu Zhuqing, however, did not sense anything was wrong. With a pretty smile on her face and her cheeks flushed, she said...
"Back in Heaven Dou City?"
Looking at the person in front of her, Xiao Wu couldn't help but continue asking.
"Yes."
Zhu Zhuqing said with a smile.
"What's wrong, Xiao Wu?"
Seeing the other party's strong reaction, Zhu Zhuqing understood something and her expression softened considerably as she spoke calmly.
"N-nothing..."
"I just didn't expect you two to get together so quickly, it's nothing."
Xiao Wu's face clearly showed her unease, but she still smiled and shook her head, saying frankly.
But deep down, she realized what a huge change in mood meant—the feeling of going from happy to unhappy, even sad...
It only takes this short time!
She had initially thought it would be great to see Wulin and have a proper conversation with him, and she cherished this time. But now, Wulin had actually taken Zhu Zhuqing's form...
He's already Zhu Zhuqing's boyfriend.
She can't just snatch it away, can she?
"Xiao Wu still likes Wulin after all..."
Looking at Xiao Wu's micro-expressions, Zhu Zhuqing saw through it all at a glance. Ever since Rongrong kissed Wulin, she had become much more attentive to girls.
She wasn't the only one paying attention to the other person.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong's expression seemed no different from usual, but in her heart, many thoughts arose because of Xiao Wu's situation.
It would be difficult for her to be with Brother Tang alone, but Xiao Wu was clearly different; she and Brother Tang had been best friends since they were very young.
They say it's easy for a woman to pursue a man...
Wouldn't it be best if Xiao Wu succeeded first, and then they could come together to help me?
Ning Rongrong seemed to have discovered something new, and a beautiful smile silently curved her lips.
"Xiao Wu, Rongrong, we're both Soul Elder now. Since we're waiting for Wulin to return, why don't we cultivate first?"
Zhu Zhuqing quickly regained her composure, not dwelling too much on her previous thoughts. She looked at the two women in front of her and said with a smile.
"I have no objection, Xiao Wu, what about you?"
Ning Rongrong smiled and nodded, already planning to talk to Xiao Wu about her thoughts later.
"This..."
I think that's fine too.
Xiao Wu paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement, though a bitter feeling lingered in her heart.
She had originally planned to wait for Wulin to return before speaking with him, and then speed up her escape.
Now look what's happened...
She can't even have a proper meeting with him anymore.
"Then let's cultivate."
Inside the room, everyone sat cross-legged on the sofa, cultivating. However, among them, Xiao Wu had the most complicated feelings.
"This is really difficult..."
She pursed her lips and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"Wulin and Zhu Zhuqing..."
"I hate them all--"
"..."
"Your Highness, what level of Soul Beast do you plan to absorb for your Fifth Soul Ring?"
On the other side, as he led Tang Wulin deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, Dugu Bo immediately asked respectfully.
"It should be around 60,000 years from now."
"Let's see if we can find any rare dragon-type Soul Beasts. If not, we'll choose some Power Attack System Soul Beasts..."
Tang Wulin smiled slightly and said calmly.
His Golden Dragon King Martial Soul is very inclusive, just like the First Soul Ring he obtained, which was actually a thousand-year-old Mandala Snake.
Absorbing Soul Ring doesn't affect his Soul Skills, so he doesn't need to worry about being affected by Soul Ring. Besides, dragon-type Soul Beasts are indeed extremely rare.
Perhaps as the required Soul Ring Age increases, the number of dragon-type Soul Beasts that can be encountered should also increase.
"The Fifth Soul Ring took 60,000 years to absorb..."
"Understood."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo kept it in mind, and a look of emotion was visibly on his face. Since His Highness had said so, he must be 100% confident.
However, it's Soul Ring of 60,000 years.
For ordinary Soul Masters, even the Eighth Soul Ring is just the level of absorption, but for His Highness, it's merely the choice of the Fifth Soul Ring.
"It's been many years since I've been to the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest. I wonder if there are any dragon-type Soul Beasts here..."
Dugu Bo sensed all the nearby Soul Beasts, a hint of anticipation on his face. He was determined to find a suitable Soul Beast for His Highness.
"..."
Three hours later.
The two figures moved continuously within the inner circle, encountering countless high-level Soul Beasts along the way, many of which were over 60,000 years old, and of all kinds.
They encountered creatures like the Qian Jun Ant and even the Man Faced Demon Spider that brought Tang San joy; all of them were very old. However, encountering dragons was clearly still extremely difficult.
During this time, Tang Wulin also used his air conditioning bloodline to sense the situation of the dragons in the forest, but it was obviously not of much help.
Not long after, a scent caught his attention.
"Um?"
"Elder Venom, I sensed the aura of a dragon-type Soul Beast in the southwest direction."
Just when Tang Wulin thought he could find other Soul Beasts, he finally sensed the aura of a dragon-type Soul Beast, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
"Oh?!"
"Your Highness, I will take you there immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and as he spoke, he instantly headed off in the distance.
Slowly, before their eyes, a dragon-like Soul Beast with a golden glow appeared.
This Soul Beast has a triangular head and its body is covered in golden scales that shimmer beautifully in the sunlight. The scales on its body are like layers of leather, indestructible.
He was currently devouring a black tiger, with a black Soul Ring floating around him.
"Golden Armored Earth Dragon."
"Its age is around 58,000 years."
Looking at the appearance of this Soul Beast, Tang Wulin quickly recognized its identity, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
Encountering a dragon-type Soul Beast is already extremely rare, let alone this one, which is so close in age, making it a perfect match for his Fifth Soul Ring.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo, who was standing nearby, also brightened up, clearly overjoyed to have found this Soul Beast for His Highness.
"Elder Venom, it's decided it's him." Tang Wulin said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Dugu Bo immediately responded respectfully, and was about to step forward to capture the Soul Beast, but was stopped by the other party.
"Just Soul Beast that's less than 60,000 years old."
"I'll give it a try."
Tang Wulin smiled and shook his head. As he spoke, he instantly released his Martial Soul. The Golden Dragon King possessed him, and four black Soul Rings had already appeared.
"This..."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting the other party to want to fight a 60,000-year-old Soul Beast. You must know, this is equivalent to a top human Soul Saint!
But he quickly stopped hesitating, after all, he wouldn't really let His Highness deal with such a powerful Soul Beast alone; with his loyal subordinate by his side...
They are ready to protect His Highness at any time.
"Click, click..."
The Golden Armored Earth Dragon was unaware of the approaching danger and was still silently eating. However, it soon sensed a powerful bloodline approaching and stopped what it was doing.
It turned around blankly and saw that Tang Wulin was already standing in front of it, radiating the ultimate dragon clan pressure.
"..."
The Golden Armored Earth Dragon visibly paused for a moment.
"Thump--"
The next moment, to Tang Wulin's surprise, the Soul Beast knelt down in front of him with its two front legs, without the slightest hesitation.
"..."
"Ah?"
Seeing this scene, Tang Wulin was also stunned, hesitant to speak, while Dugu Bo, hidden in the shadows, was already dumbfounded.
No...
When did Soul Beasts become so loyal?
"What are you doing...?"
Tang Wulin walked up step by step, remaining silent.
Gradually, seeing that the Soul Beast had no intention of fighting, he gently patted the scales on its body.
Hmm, it's quite hard; it should withstand a few punches. But what's with the opponent not hitting it?
"Roar roar roar..."
In front of Tang Wulin, the Golden Armored Earth Dragon showed no intention of resisting. Although it roared a few times, it was mostly respectful and attentive.
For a moment, it even pawed at the half-eaten, ancient Black Tiger that it had devoured, gesturing for the other to eat it.
"..."
Is he trying to please me?
"This is because..."
"My Golden Dragon King Bloodline, isn't it?"
Tang Wulin looked thoughtful, observing the other party's obviously abnormal behavior, and couldn't help but think to himself.
The Golden Dragon King Martial Soul possesses the Dragon God Bloodline...
His suppression of the dragon race was so powerful that it was still a dragon race with a strict hierarchy.
It should be noted that even other Soul Beasts might not have shown the same level of respect and subservience as the dragon before them.
Only...
"I need you to be my Soul Ring."
Tang Wulin looked at him and spoke frankly.
Soul Beasts begin to possess some basic intelligence once they reach the ten-thousand-year level, let alone this dragon that has already reached the sixty-thousand-year level...
"Roar...?"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Armored Earth Dragon visibly froze, clearly understanding its meaning. Its eyes, larger than fists, instantly began to ponder, and finally...
"Thump--"
Just when Tang Wulin thought the other party would definitely refuse, the Golden Armored Earth Dragon suddenly plopped down on its back, showing no intention of resisting, which surprised Tang Wulin.
He was completely shocked.
Is this the only dragon with such spiritual insight, or are other dragons like this one...?
"Your Highness, this..."
Dugu Bo couldn't hold back any longer and stepped out from the shadows, looking at the scene before him with a blank expression.
"Roar?"
Sensing the presence of others, the Golden Armored Earth Dragon instantly went berserk, stood up again, and fixed its gaze on Dugu Bo, its eyes filled with danger.
He seems ready to charge at the slightest movement from his opponent, regardless of whether he can win the fight, but...
It will definitely try its best to rush up.
"This is my person."
Tang Wulin noticed the change in the other person's mood and slowly spoke. Sure enough, upon hearing this, the danger in the other person's eyes vanished instantly, and then...
With a thud, he lay down again.
The entire movement was incredibly smooth and fluid, without the slightest hesitation, even surprising Tang Wulin.
"..."
"Your Highness, this Soul Beast actually... recognizes you so much!"
Dugu Bo completely stunned.
At this moment, he felt that he had lived most of his life in vain. How could there be Soul Beast that would willingly die!
"..."
"I don't know if it's just him, or if other Soul Beasts do this too..."
Tang Wulin's face was also full of surprise.
If that's the case, it might mean that his appeal or favorability towards the beast race is far greater than that of ordinary Soul Beasts.
In other words, those beneath the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest might also be...
It seems I should make time to go there. Putting everything else aside, just the Silver Dragon King alone is worth checking in for.
So you're saying you're willing...
"Little earthworm?"
Despite the unexpected turn of events, Tang Wulin regained his senses and still managed to conjure a Golden Dragon Claw, speaking softly.
The other party remained unresponsive as always. Tang Wulin remained silent for a moment, then finally spoke slowly:
Would you offer a sacrifice?
"Roar?"
"Roar!"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Armored Earth Dragon immediately stood up again, a clear foolishness flashing in its eyes before it was filled with golden light and obediently nodded.
It was willing to offer sacrifices to the adults.
"Um..."
Tang Wulin smiled, but just then, a mechanical voice from the system suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Congratulations, host, for attracting Soul Beast to willingly sacrifice its Soul Ring. You have completed the achievement and received a reward.--]
[Soul Spirit Method]
[By forming a contract with Soul Beast, one can absorb its energy to condense a Soul Beast Soul Ring, which can then assist in battle...]
"Um?"
In an instant, a flood of information surged into Tang Wulin's mind, causing his eyes to light up instantly.
The Soul Spirit Method!
"I never expected this dragon-type Soul Beast..."
"It can actually bring me such benefits."
Looking at the Golden Armored Earth Dragon before him, Tang Wulin couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. He had initially thought it was just a suitable Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, but it turned out to be...
This brought him such an unexpected gain.
Would you be willing to become my Soul Spirit?
"Roar..."
Looking at the giant dragon crawling so close to him, Tang Wulin communicated with it telepathically and quickly received the same answer as before.
"Elder Venom, I'm going to absorb the Soul Ring."
"Protect me."
Tang Wulin glanced at Dugu Bo in response.
As he spoke, he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and, in accordance with the contract of the Soul Spirit Method, formed a contract with the Soul Beast in front of him.
"Yes, Your Highness... Hmm?"
Dugu Bo responded respectfully, but seeing that the other party was not hunting Soul Beasts this time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt in his heart.
Your Highness hunts Soul Beasts, why don't you kill them?
Oh, by the way.
"I must write down Your Highness's previous situation in a little notebook..."
Immediately afterwards, Dugu Bo suddenly thought of something, a smile on his face, and took out a notebook from his Soul Tool, silently making notes.
"On [date], this afternoon, while accompanying His Highness to hunt for Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings in the Star Dou Great Forest, we encountered a Golden Armored Earth Dragon that was approximately fifty-eight thousand years old."
"Because of His Highness's charm, this Soul Beast chose death without hesitation, becoming Soul Ring..."
Dugu Bo: Family members, I have witnessed history.
