Dragon Bear

"Jin Tianming, I really have to thank you!"

Tian Mucheng listened to Jin Tianming's report and was utterly speechless. What the hell was that? He had sold him off to a little girl without even asking?

Jin Tianming, within the Mental Link, heard Tian Mucheng's thanks and laughed.

"Just a small favor. No need to thank me, main body."

"..."

Tian Mucheng chose to disconnect the Mental Link. There was no point in continuing. The matter had already happened—he couldn't exactly fly to Sun Moon and beat up Jin Tianming, could he?

That was completely unrealistic.

Tian Mucheng sighed. Thankfully, Jin Tianming was still fairly normal. If it had been Mo Yan, that girl would definitely have pissed him to death.

Ever since they had acquired a temporary base, Mo Yan's slacking had become even more outrageous. Whenever Xiao Xue trained Dugu Luo, she would claim she was going over to train with them. In reality, she was just running off to hide from him and slack off there.

As the main body, he could scold her, but Xiao Xue, as a Dragon Slave, surely wouldn't let her get away with it, right?

In truth, that was not the case. Tian Mucheng directly ordered Xiao Xue to train Mo Yan mercilessly. Sure enough, unless she was pushed, she truly had no idea where her own potential lay.

She had now reached level 24, only one step away from breaking through to level 25.

He had also recovered to level 21, but if he created another Dragon Soul, his Soul Power Level would likely drop again.

"The temporary organization's residence has been found. I can start making plans for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as well." Tian Mucheng thought to himself. In truth, he was still hesitating over whether to use that one Dragon Soul opportunity.

This one-time opportunity was his greatest trump card. He had to consider again and again whether he should use it.

Once he used it, he would no longer have any means of saving his own life.

He habitually tapped the tabletop with his fingers. The thud, thud, thud brought him into his best state for thinking.

The two words he hated most in his life were "gambler," but life often forced the things you hated onto you. Tian Mucheng was in exactly that situation right now.

From the moment he came to this world, he had entered a gamble. Whether he wanted to or not, if he didn't gamble, he would die.

The first time he went to Hunt a Spirit Ring, he had already stepped onto the gambler's path. If he had not been fully prepared that day, Tian Mucheng would have been the one who died.

In the end, he had narrowly won and killed that monkey!

Tian Mucheng's mind raced. He was considering how to maximize his gains. Using that Dragon Soul opportunity to bring Snow Empress and Ice Empress into his camp would indeed be good. The two Spirit Beasts could also take them into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but he would have no choice but to give up on the two Dragon Souls beneath the spring.

As for Electrolux, he had no idea what he could offer that would attract him.

"Right! That carving knife!" Tian Mucheng thought of the Evil Spirit Master carving knife from the original story that had appeared at the Star Luo auction house. He could try to buy it, but he could not wait until then.

The Child of Fortune had changed, so his opportunities might also undergo a butterfly effect.

"Phew..." Tian Mucheng took a deep breath. He chose to gamble.

If this had been during Douluo 1, things would have been truly fair. He could have taken things slowly and leisurely, without any need to hurry or take risks and gamble. But now was Tang San's era. As long as one did not act too arrogantly while weak, there would not be much trouble. Otherwise, like in Douluo 3, without a good system, one would simply get crushed to death!

Tang Hao was truly protective of his son, not to mention the extra affection he had for his grandson.

"Xiao Xue."

"Here."

The moment Xiao Xue heard Tian Mucheng call for her, she appeared before him.

She was like an impregnable fortress, guarding the Holy Lord's side around the clock. Lord Holy Lord's body was as fragile as porcelain. If she did not remain by his side and something went wrong before she could arrive in time, she would have no choice but to atone with her death.

"Have Dragon Bear return from the White Tiger Duke as soon as possible. Those two children no longer need to be monitored for now." Tian Mucheng began issuing orders. "Dugu Yan and Dugu Luo should prepare as well. And personally supervise Mo Yan's preparations. If she dares slack off, report it directly to me."

"Yes!" Xiao Xue already understood what Lord Holy Lord intended to do. He had told her about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and she had long since made thorough preparations.

Xiao Xue left, and Tian Mucheng was once again alone in the room. One hand supported his chin while the other continued tapping on the table as he sank back into thought.

Once the matter of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was settled, his game against Ice Pure Jade Tang Buddha would officially begin.

Sunset Forest

It should have been the second-largest Spirit Beast Forest on the original Douluo Continent, but now the Spirit Beasts here were scarce. The strongest among them only possessed cultivation between ten and twenty thousand years.

The third Dragon Slave, Dragon Bear, scouted ahead, while Xiao Xue searched the surroundings for hidden Spirit Beasts or Evil Spirit Masters.

Dugu Yan protected Tian Mucheng and the other two. Her Soul Power had originally been level 69, but after being transformed by a Dragon Soul, she had directly entered level 70. Her Jade Python Spirit had been transformed by the Dragon Soul into a Jade Python Dragon, her poison becoming several times stronger while her physical body had also been enhanced.

It could be said that the results were quite good.

They could also see whether Sunset Forest had any Poison Element Spirit Beasts. If there were, one would become Dugu Yan's seventh Spirit Ring. If not, they could only make a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Mo Yan lazily yawned and swept her gaze over the Spirit Beasts glaring at them hungrily yet not daring to approach. Feeling bored, she closed her eyes and lay directly on Dugu Luo's back, falling asleep.

Eleven-year-old Dugu Luo helplessly caught this older sister who always tried to slack off during cultivation, her eyes full of affection and gentleness.

Seeing this, Tian Mucheng truly wanted to pull out a sack, stuff Mo Yan inside it, hang her from a tree, and whip her hard!

Boom.

A powerful shockwave from an explosion sounded ahead. Tian Mucheng looked over curiously and saw that the level 74 Dragon Bear had already entered combat.

Seven Spirit Rings rose from beneath Dragon Bear's feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, and black.

Perhaps among the Dragon Slaves, only that fellow Moxie had a ten-year first Spirit Ring.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!" Dragon Bear roared. The muscles all over his body began swelling wildly as his human form started transforming in the direction of a beast.

A Dragon Bear, born from the hybridization of a dragon and a bear, appeared before the four of them.

The third Dragon Slave's original name was Wang Jin. He had been a level 66 Evil Spirit Master with a Demon Bear Spirit, but after being transformed by a Dragon Soul, his Demon Bear Spirit had become a Dragon Bear with dragon bloodline. It was quite distinctive, to say the least.

Dragon Bear's powerful body began battling the twenty-thousand-year Spirit Beast ahead of him. Dragon Bear continuously restrained his tremendous strength to prevent the shockwaves from reaching the Holy Lord and the others.

Tian Mucheng naturally noticed this and shouted, "Dragon Bear, finish it quickly. We don't have much time to waste."

The moment Dragon Bear heard the Holy Lord's order, he immediately understood. The terrifying power around him was no longer suppressed. He grabbed the Spirit Beast by the head and began pummeling it relentlessly. Seeing that the massive shockwaves were about to reach them, Dugu Yan immediately stepped in front of Tian Mucheng and the other two, blocking them.

That twenty-thousand-year Spirit Beast was in a truly miserable state. Its head was like a watermelon smashed by a heavy hammer, pinned firmly to the ground beneath Dragon Bear's paw, while its body was like a rag doll, repeatedly and viciously battered by the other bear paw. Not a single patch of hide remained intact on its entire body, as though it had been ravaged by a violent storm.

"Tsk, why is this guy still so violent?"

Mo Yan had been awakened by the noise at some point. She raised her head to look at Dragon Bear beating the Spirit Beast ahead of them and could not help complaining.
