Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King!

"Mm." Long Yun nodded.

Long Yun walked beside Yue Guan. This was the position that made him feel safest. If any soul beast attacked, Yue Guan would be able to protect him in time. It was not that Long Yun was cowardly; he had grown up in modern society, so how could he possibly have seen ferocious soul beasts like those on Douluo Continent? Although his mind was far more mature than that of an ordinary eleven- or twelve-year-old, he still felt instinctive fear.

Yue Guan noticed Long Yun's movement and knew that he was somewhat afraid, but he did not expose him, leaving him some dignity.

Thus, Long Yun and Yue Guan walked through the forest for roughly half an hour.

Along the way, they encountered several wolf-type soul beasts, but none were the soul beasts Long Yun needed. They did not harm them either. As soon as Yue Guan released his aura, the beasts immediately scattered in all directions. How would they dare attack Long Yun and Yue Guan? Soul beasts were extremely sensitive to danger. They could sense Yue Guan's strength from the aura he released and knew he could absolutely kill them, so they chose to flee at once.

"Chrysanthemum Elder, are we just searching randomly within this area?" Long Yun could not help asking. They had been searching for over half an hour. They had encountered wolves, but none suitable. When would this ever end?

"You brat, why are you in such a hurry? Finding a suitable soul beast depends on luck to begin with. What's more, we're searching this enormous forest for one specific soul beast. You can imagine how difficult that is."

"We've only been looking for a short while, and you're already getting impatient?" Yue Guan said irritably. The boy's talent was good, but his temperament was too impatient. He still needed proper tempering.

"I understand that, and I really am a little anxious. But wandering around here aimlessly and relying on luck is not a solution either. Like you said, the forest is so vast. How difficult would it be for us to find one specific soul beast? Randomly searching like this is no solution," Long Yun said.

"You have a point, but who told you we were searching by luck?" Yue Guan said with a mysterious smile.

"Hm?" Long Yun's eyes lit up. Naturally, he understood what Yue Guan meant. "Do you have some faster method?" he hurriedly asked.

"Of course," Yue Guan said.

"Tell me about it," Long Yun asked with a smile. He was rather curious about Yue Guan's method.

"I won't tell you that just yet. But I can tell you that we are no longer far from that soul beast. I can sense traces of its aura here," Yue Guan said.

Long Yun had been somewhat displeased with Yue Guan's suspenseful behavior, but upon hearing that last sentence, his eyes instantly brightened, his face filled with delight. "Really? Where?" Long Yun looked around in every direction, as though trying to spot the soul beast.

"Would I lie to you? It isn't here, though. It is still some distance away. I merely sensed the aura it left behind when it passed through here. To find it, we need to follow this aura," Yue Guan said.

"Then let's follow it quickly!" Long Yun said at once. They had finally found a trace of the soul beast; they could not afford to lose it.

"Let's go." Yue Guan smiled and pointed to their right, indicating that the soul beast was in that direction.

"Alright!" After Yue Guan pointed out the direction, Long Yun immediately took the lead and hurried toward it. He had even forgotten the great bodyguard behind him. At that moment, urgency and excitement filled his heart, and he had nearly forgotten that he seemed incapable of dealing with even a single soul beast here.

Seeing Long Yun's anxious appearance, Yue Guan shook his head with a smile. "This brat." Then he followed after Long Yun. He could not let anything happen to the boy, or how would he explain it to Your Holiness the Pope when he returned?

A few minutes later!

Long Yun was still jogging through the forest, glancing around on both sides as he ran in hopes of finding some trace of the soul beast. Just as he remained focused on searching, Yue Guan suddenly appeared in front of him, stretched out a hand to stop him, and shook his head.

Long Yun was completely baffled by this. For a moment, he did not understand what Yue Guan meant. But after giving it some thought, a look of ecstatic joy appeared on his face. He asked excitedly, "Chrysanthemum Elder, is that soul beast here?" His voice carried both doubt and expectation.

Yue Guan smiled and nodded, then led Long Yun forward.

They went around the large trees blocking the way and pushed aside the vines winding around them. When Long Yun saw the scene ahead, his pupils contracted. He unconsciously took a step back, his heart tightening as he felt oppressed.

The soul beast that had appeared in Long Yun's field of vision was the one they had been searching for so long. Although Yue Guan had not confirmed it yet, Long Yun had a feeling that this might be the one they sought.

This was because the soul beast gave Long Yun an extraordinarily unusual feeling. It was more special and powerful than any soul beast he had encountered before.

It was a pure-black giant wolf. Standing upright, it was fully two meters tall, and its body was roughly three and a half meters long. It possessed powerful muscles, while its pale purple eyes brimmed with an eerie, evil aura, like the eyes of a demon. Being watched by those eyes felt as though one were being stared at by a demon from the netherworld, leaving one utterly ill at ease.

Its snow-white fangs glinted with chilling light. Who knew how many lives had died beneath those teeth? Its coat of pure-black fur was even more unusual. Its darkness resembled the color of a Black Hole, incomparably deep. Long Yun even vaguely felt that its fur truly possessed the devouring power of a Black Hole, because he noticed that the Soul Power of Heaven and Earth around the black giant wolf was far denser than where they stood. That Soul Power seemed to be drawn by some force, gathering toward the black giant wolf.

This wolf is terrifying! Long Yun formed a rough assessment of the black giant wolf.

Long Yun looked at Yue Guan, his eyes filled with inquiry. Yue Guan nodded at him and said, "This is the black giant wolf."

Hearing Yue Guan's confirmation, Long Yun felt joy surge within him despite already having guessed it. A smile appeared on his face. Turning back, he stared at the black giant wolf as though it were a precious treasure, his gaze burning with excitement.

Although he was somewhat afraid of the black giant wolf and knew that it possessed extraordinary combat strength, before a Titled Douluo, a hundred-year soul beast was nothing. Even if it was an ultra, ultra, Super Soul Beast, so what? I refuse to believe you can cause any trouble.

The instant they spotted the black giant wolf, it had noticed them as well, and their gazes met abruptly. Yue Guan was no longer concerned about alerting it and directly said to Long Yun, "This black giant wolf is called the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King!"

"Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King? Soul devouring?" Long Yun murmured.

"Do you know what this soul beast's greatest characteristic is?" Yue Guan asked Long Yun.

Long Yun pondered Yue Guan's question for a moment. "Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King, Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King... soul devouring?" Combining that with the abnormal Heaven and Earth Soul Power around the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King, Long Yun thought of a possibility.

"Does it devour Soul Power?" Long Yun cried out, staring at the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King before him in disbelief.

"That's right, it devours Soul Power!" Yue Guan looked at Long Yun approvingly. The boy was not too foolish.

"The Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King's greatest characteristic is devouring Soul Power. Not only can it devour the Soul Power of Heaven and Earth to rapidly increase its cultivation age, it can also devour the Soul Power of soul beasts and even Soul Masters, causing them to lose their combat strength. The Soul Power it devours is also replenished into its body to restore the Soul Power it expends, allowing it to maintain an abundant supply of Soul Power throughout battle." Yue Guan's tone carried a trace of gravity and wariness.

Of course, he was not grave or wary of the Soul Devouring Magic Wolf King before them, but rather of this ability itself. The ability to devour Soul Power was extremely rare among both soul beasts and Soul Masters—rare and powerful. Just imagine it: if an opponent of the same level could devour your Soul Power and convert it for their own use, how terrifying would that be?
