Great Luo Sword Embryo? God-Bestowed Martial Soul?

"Pfft... hahaha, Xiao Zui, how are you so cute?"

The sight of Su Zui's solemn, tragic expression made Light Feather Douluo laugh.

"With your current strength, you want to challenge a Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear? Even an ordinary Titled Douluo can't deal with one of those."

Su Zui immediately put on a smile and hugged Light Feather Douluo's arm.

"Big sister, then help me! Later, when I become a Limit Douluo, I'll find a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and give it to you!"

Light Feather Douluo tapped Su Zui's forehead and rolled his eyes at him. "All you do is paint people pictures of cakes day in and day out. A Limit Douluo, you say? Let's talk when you become a Titled Douluo. Come on, let's go Soul Hunting."

Su Zui chuckled and immediately fell into step beside Light Feather Douluo. They were now at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest's core region, and only needed to travel a few dozen li farther to reach their destination.

As soon as they entered the area of the Star Dou Great Forest where Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts gathered, the trees around them grew noticeably taller.

On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, trees topped out at forty or fifty meters, but in the core region, every tree in sight stood at least sixty meters tall, and trees in the seventy-to-eighty-meter range were everywhere.

As Su Zui made his way through the area of the Star Dou Great Forest where Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts gathered, he felt as though he had entered a land of giants.

He had only just entered the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast area, but he could already sense the presences of at least three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

In his previous life, Su Zui had heard of the Amazon Rainforest on Blue Star, a place known as a forbidden zone for humanity.

Yet compared with the Star Dou Great Forest, the Amazon Rainforest was like a tame little rabbit.

After all, the Star Dou Great Forest alone covered several times the area of the Amazon Rainforest, and these Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were supernatural beings.

Even with a peak level ninety-six Super Douluo beside him, Su Zui immediately summoned the Great Luo Sword Embryo and warily surveyed his surroundings.

Yet once the Great Luo Sword Embryo appeared, it seemed unusually excited.

Su Zui could feel the blade of the Great Luo Sword Embryo trembling slightly. The next second, he felt a distinct tugging force. It wanted to take him deeper into the forest.

Sensing what the Great Luo Sword Embryo wanted, Su Zui's lips twitched.

"Big brother, don't do this to me. What do you mean, you want to go to the very center? Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts live there! With my little body the way it is now, I wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth!"

Light Feather Douluo studied the Great Luo Sword Embryo with interest. Su Zui's Martial Soul seemed even more mysterious than he had imagined.

"Xiao Zui, has your Martial Soul never told you where he really came from?"

Su Zui sighed softly, lowered his eyes, and shook his head.

"No. Every time I ask him, he says he can't remember."

Light Feather Douluo patted Su Zui's head and comforted him. "It's all right if you don't know. In any case, one thing we can be sure of is that this Martial Soul definitely isn't one we're familiar with."

"So far, the only person I know who can communicate with a deity through his Martial Soul is the Great Enshrined, and your Martial Soul can communicate with you too. So I suspect your Martial Soul definitely has something to do with a deity. Perhaps this Great Luo Sword Embryo is also a God-Bestowed Martial Soul."

Su Zui said uncertainly, "But shouldn't a God-Bestowed Martial Soul have level twenty Innate Soul Power? Mine was only level ten."

Light Feather Douluo reasoned, "Is it possible that this Martial Soul is still incomplete? He seems to be missing some of his memories. Every time you ask where he came from, he says he's forgotten. Still, this Martial Soul can think for himself and even directly slash apart a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's Soul Shock. That alone is already beyond what a Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent can achieve."

Then Light Feather Douluo tapped Su Zui on the forehead and said seriously, "All right, Xiao Zui, don't dwell on these questions. What you need to do now is obtain your fourth Soul Ring as soon as possible. We can take our time with the rest."

Su Zui nodded immediately.

That was right. No matter what the future held, the best thing to do was take care of today's business. Someday, a day in the future would become today too.

Perhaps by then, he would already be strong enough to solve these problems.

"Xiao Zui, stay close to me. Your body can now absorb a thirty-thousand-year Soul Ring, so we need to go a little deeper."

"Okay, Sister Guang Ling!"

At that, Su Zui immediately pressed close to Guang Ling and warily surveyed their surroundings.

They wandered through the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast area of the Star Dou Great Forest for two whole days, and during that time, they did find a Terrorclaw Tyrant Dragon.

However, this Terrorclaw Tyrant Dragon had a full fifty thousand years of cultivation, so naturally it wasn't suitable for Su Zui to absorb.

And as always, the Great Luo Sword Embryo showed a strong desire for the fifty-thousand-year Terrorclaw Tyrant Dragon.

Su Zui simply let it go in one ear and out the other.

That damned enemy had actually dared disguise himself as Su Zui's Martial Soul. He was utterly deranged!

Even when the Great Luo Sword Embryo said he could slash away the dragon's resentment, Su Zui still refused outright.

The terrifying power contained in a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring would surely turn Su Zui's body into a giant balloon, which would then go bang and explode into Soul Master fragments.

Besides, Light Feather Douluo could never allow him to absorb that Soul Ring.

In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the third day. Su Zui took a tent out of his Storage Soul Tool and set it up as a temporary shelter, then took out a section of Soul Beast tail and put it on the grill to roast.

The Soul Beast was called a White-Limbed Earth Dragon, and it was a full ten thousand years old. A few days ago, it had gone mad and ambushed Su Zui, which was how it had ended up as a top-quality ingredient.

As everyone knew, top-quality ingredients only needed the simplest cooking methods, but Su Zui never listened to that.

He took out salt, chili powder, and his homemade thirteen-spice blend all at once, spreading them evenly over the dragon tail.

That section of tail alone held dozens of jin of meat. After all, White-Limbed Earth Dragons were famous for their enormous size.

Even a White-Limbed Earth Dragon only ten thousand years old stood an astonishing five meters at the shoulder. It was practically a small moving mountain.

Naturally, Su Zui hadn't wasted the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's corpse. He had packed all the choicest cuts of meat into his Storage Soul Tool.

Su Zui's Storage Soul Tool was a treasure from Spirit Hall's collection, with a full sixty-four cubic meters of space, easily enough to hold dozens of tons of Soul Beast meat.

Before long, waves of fragrance wafted from the grill.

The meat of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was far superior to ordinary ingredients and contained a powerful life force.

Yet just after Su Zui brushed honey over the surface of the meat, Light Feather Douluo suddenly grabbed him and, in a flash, leaped onto a large tree ahead.

Before Su Zui could make a sound, Light Feather Douluo clapped a hand over his mouth.

"Don't make a sound. Your fourth Soul Ring has arrived!"
