Three figures wove through Sunset Forest, each locking onto the body of an elk as they unleashed spirit skills.
By rights, an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was only just about equal to a Titled Douluo.
This sixty-thousand-year soul beast should not have been able to withstand the attacks of two Titled Douluo and one Spirit Sage.
And yet this Three-Colored Deer, under the pursuit of the three of them, was clearly about to be captured and killed—but the moment its hooves stepped onto the forest mist, it vanished in the next instant!
"What a clever Three-Colored Deer!"
Watching the colorful elk rush toward him, Su Mutian let out a cry of amazement.
For an ordinary soul beast to be able to slip away through cunning was already rare enough. Now, it was using its abilities with the intelligence of a spirit master in battle, confusing the eyes of the three Spirit Hall members while its true body successfully escaped the danger zone!
"Damn it, we fell for it!"
Thousand Jun Douluo cursed under his breath and shouted to Su Mutian, "Young Hero Di! Please help us intercept the Three-Colored Deer!"
"Sure thing!"
Su Mutian took the opportunity to mount the Three-Colored Deer's back and grabbed its antlers. They felt warm to the touch, yet not slippery.
Su Mutian leaned against the deer's back. "Brother Qian, hurry over! I've already caught your eighth spirit ring! Come quick and seize it!"
Su Mutian's voice drifted farther and farther away, fading into an unknown thicket.
Qian Jixun withdrew his Angel Spirit and spat, "Damn it! You caught nothing at all, you foul, lowly slave. Next time I run into you, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Watching Su Mutian swagger off into the distance, Qian Jixun finally found an outlet for the resentment from being beaten, and snarled viciously.
Subduing Demon Douluo sighed. "What a pity about that nearly sixty-thousand-year Three-Colored Deer. It was a soul beast extremely compatible with the Angel Spirit."
Thousand Jun Douluo shook his head with a wry smile. "This Young Hero Diga is truly mysterious. I'm afraid the Douluo Continent will be thrown into turmoil because of him in the future."
Subduing Demon furrowed his thick brows. "Sixth Brother, aren't you overthinking it? Even if he is extremely strange, he still can't damage Spirit Hall's foundation. At worst, the six of us brothers will go all out to kill him. Even if he's a Limit Douluo, he won't be able to stir up any great waves."
Subduing Demon Douluo's words were somewhat arrogant, but Spirit Hall's Elder Hall was indeed extremely powerful.
Aside from Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu himself having already reached the level of a Limit Douluo, there was also Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was currently stuck at the level of a Rank 97 Peak Douluo. As for the other worships, their strength was definitely no worse than theirs.
Golden Crocodile Douluo, Spirit Hall's Second Worship, held an exalted position and was loyal to the Angel Family. In the future, he would break through to Rank 98 and attain the position of a Peerless Douluo. Even Qian Daoliu had to give him some respect.
As for Thousand Jun and Subduing Demon Douluo, although they had not yet broken through into the realm of Super Douluo, it was only a matter of time.
Spirit Hall's Elder Hall was actually filled entirely with existences above Super Douluo. It was just that they only took orders from Qian Daoliu and served the Qian family, which led to them being severely underestimated.
What a pity that Spirit Hall had such a strong hand, only for Qian Jixun to play it into utter ruin.
Qian Jixun looked in the direction Su Mutian had left and subconsciously touched his bruised face, murmuring, "But I always feel like we'll meet again."
Hearing Qian Jixun's murmur, Thousand Jun Douluo said with a dark expression, "It will depend on his choice. The Black Gold Token has already been handed to him. If he wants to join Spirit Hall, we will definitely meet again.
"If he truly is Spirit Hall's enemy, then even a Super Douluo is not an existence that absolutely cannot be erased."
"But I can't swallow this anger," Qian Jixun said, his voice choking.
"Then work hard to become stronger, obtain the angels' favor, and inherit the divine residence."
Thousand Jun Douluo looked at Qian Jixun. Even the Great Enshrined had not been able to inherit a God Position. Qian Jixun's talent was certainly very good, but he had not obtained the Angel God's approval.
That was why the Great Enshrined valued Qian Jixun's future so highly, to the point of even sending two Titled Douluo to accompany him in hunting soul beasts.
"I'll work hard. As long as I obtain the angels' recognition, the world will be in my grasp."
Qian Jixun clenched his fists tightly. His father had placed even the inheritance of divinity on his shoulders. He absolutely could not disappoint his father again.
"After obtaining my eighth spirit ring, I'm going to make another push at the angel assessment."
Qian Jixun cheered himself on inwardly.
"Then I'll find that guy called Diga and beat him back! Double!"
At this moment, Su Mutian was riding the Three-Colored Deer, racing through the deep forest, and their target was actually the inner core region of Sunset Forest!
"Little deer, where are you taking me?" Su Mutian's hand moved up and down, stroking the Three-Colored Deer's antlers, making the Three-Colored Deer unable to stop its whole body from trembling. Its steps gradually slowed, and it let out soft deer calls.
Su Mutian let go, and the Three-Colored Deer stamped its hooves, about to flare up, clearly extremely dissatisfied with the masked man on its back.
Su Mutian tightened his grip again and slowly stroked. The Three-Colored Deer's four legs actually began to wobble, faintly unable to hold on as if it were about to fall.
Only then did Su Mutian stop teasing it. He pinched the Three-Colored Deer's ear and said with a laugh, "I never expected that you, old deer, could face a pincer attack from two Titled Douluo without a scratch, yet your weakness would actually be your antlers!"
"Yo, yo~"
The Three-Colored Deer sprinted madly through the forest, then suddenly twisted its head and changed direction, trying to throw Su Mutian off.
Unfortunately, Su Mutian hugged its deer neck tightly. Added to that, Su Mutian was steady as hell, so the Three-Colored Deer simply could not get what it wanted.
The thousand-year soul beasts around them gradually became scarce, and from time to time, a ten-thousand-year soul beast could be seen.
This kind of great tide of soul beasts was an extremely rare sight even on Sea God Island, let alone in a forest on the continent. And this was not even the Star Dou Great Forest, but Sunset Forest.
The territory of Sunset Forest was far inferior to the Star Dou Great Forest, but this place occupied a spiritual and beautiful ley line, and many medicinal herbs grew here.
In particular, as mentioned before, the two Dragon Kings of water and fire had fallen here, their bodies transforming into spirits and nourishing all things.
Therefore, most of the soul beasts in Sunset Forest were soul beasts somewhat related to water or fire. Failing that, they were intelligent soul beasts like the Three-Colored Deer.
For spirit masters of the Angel Family to come here to hunt soul beasts was indeed better than going to Star Dou.
But this also planted the seed for Douluo's first fate.
Su Mutian shifted his rear. Many withered leaves had fallen onto his hair and clothes. The Three-Colored Deer's fur was comfortable, and amid the swaying and rocking, he actually grew drowsy and was almost falling asleep.
If he were an old man with a white beard, he truly would have looked like an old immortal: Laozi riding the green ox, Jiang Ziya riding the Four-Unlikes.
No one knew how much time had passed before moonlight cast down a silver curtain, shining upon the Three-Colored Deer like a dream, like an illusion.
The terrain gradually opened up. The Three-Colored Deer had three petal-shaped pupils the same color as its skin, and at this moment, they actually began to rotate slowly.
Su Mutian rubbed his eyes, yawned, and opened them—only to discover that all around him was Blue Silver Grass growing with vibrant life!
(Here, I sorted out the settings for Titled Douluo, because the titles were rather messy, so I reset them. The spirit master realms in Chapter Ten have also been updated. I'm writing it here in case old readers don't know.
Below Rank 95: ordinary Titled Douluo; Rank 95: Super Douluo; Rank 96: Supreme Douluo; Rank 97: Peak Douluo; Rank 98: Peerless Douluo; Rank 99: Limit Douluo; Rank 100 without obtaining a God Position: demigod.)
