The Radiant Gold Ancient Dragon's Might

Boom.

Jin Tianming's Radiant Gold Ancient Dragon possessed powerful Extreme Power. A mere Hundred-Year Spirit Beast had no right to act so wildly before him.

The moment their fists collided, Jin Tianming remained completely unharmed and did not retreat a single step. The beast's fist, however, had already exploded, its bones crushed along with it.

Watching Jin Tianming's terrifying combat strength, Tian Mucheng could not help swallowing. How was this clone even stronger than his original body?!

No, the word was "feedback." My original body's Soul Power and level could be fed back for the clone to use. Then could the clone's Martial Soul itself, aside from Soul Power and Soul Bones, be fed back to me?

Tian Mucheng immediately clenched his fist and activated the powerful force of his Dragon Soul. Layers of faint golden scales covered his fist.

"Just as I thought!" Tian Mucheng looked at the golden scales covering his fist and could not help marveling at the strength of his Martial Soul. He had thought this Dragon Soul was useless, but it was actually this powerful. He had truly been blind.

Jin Tianming naturally noticed his original body's movements, but he did not curiously turn back. Instead, he looked at the Spirit Beast that was already preparing to flee, clenched his golden-scaled fist, and smashed it toward the creature's head.

With a crack, the ape's head exploded, blood splattering everywhere, including all over Jin Tianming.

He wiped the Spirit Beast's blood from his face, grabbed one of the corpse's legs, and said to Tian Mucheng behind him, "Original body, let's go. We need to find somewhere safe to absorb it."

Hearing this, Tian Mucheng withdrew the scales from his fist and immediately followed Jin Tianming.

Come to think of it, why had he not found an absolutely safe place to absorb this Spirit Beast's Spirit Ring? The reason was simple: at that moment, his physical condition had already reached its limit!

If he did not quickly absorb that Spirit Beast's Spirit Ring and obtain the powerful strength and energy within it to replenish himself, then leaving the vast and dangerous Star Dou Great Forest alive would be nearly impossible.

After all, unknown dangers and ferocious Spirit Beasts lurked everywhere here. One careless mistake could cost him his life. Therefore, despite the less-than-ideal surroundings, he could only grit his teeth and risk forcibly absorbing the Spirit Ring here in search of a chance at survival.

The two quickly found a cave. Tian Mucheng made a fire while Jin Tianming sat cross-legged and absorbed the Spirit Ring.

This beast was around seven hundred and fifty years old. Based on the knowledge of Spirit Beasts in his original body's memories, Jin Tianming determined its exact age. It was not entirely ideal, but his original body's condition was simply too weak to take risks, so he chose this Spirit Beast.

Tian Mucheng sat beside the fire and skillfully prepared food. He had long since become extremely proficient at cooking. Yet his gaze drifted from time to time toward Jin Tianming, who was intently absorbing the Spirit Ring nearby.

Tian Mucheng quietly pondered why he had followed him here.

The answer was simple. He worried that when Jin Tianming successfully absorbed the Spirit Ring and its energy fed back into his own body, it might trigger unforeseen changes. If no one were present to witness it, then should anything unexpected happen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In this world filled with unknowns and dangers, there were very few people he could trust. Other than himself, there was probably only this clone of Jin Tianming before him. There seemed to be a special understanding and bond between them that made Tian Mucheng trust Jin Tianming without hesitation.

An hour later, Jin Tianming finished absorbing the Spirit Ring and slowly opened his tightly shut eyes. The moment he did, a piece of roasted meat flew toward him. He immediately caught it and took a bite without a second thought. Using the power of the Radiant Gold Ancient Dragon Martial Soul had not consumed much Soul Power. Instead, it had exhausted his stamina and physical energy, which truly surprised him.

"How is it? Did anything happen to your body?" Jin Tianming took a bite of roasted meat, then seemed to recall something. Looking at Tian Mucheng, who was still grilling meat, he asked.

"Nothing unexpected happened. After you absorbed the Spirit Ring, my stamina and physique improved a little. It wasn't much, but it's enough," Tian Mucheng answered, tossing the roasted meat in his hand to Jin Tianming again.

Jin Tianming caught the roasted meat thrown over to him and let out a sigh of relief. "That's good. I was worried something might happen."

He had been worried that after he absorbed the Spirit Ring, something would happen to his original body. He had only just become a Soul Master—if he croaked that soon, it would be seriously hard to take.

Tian Mucheng ate the piece of meat he had just roasted and looked at Jin Tianming curiously. "Did anything change in your body?" After asking, Tian Mucheng stared at Jin Tianming, waiting for an answer.

"Changes?" After taking a bite of meat, Jin Tianming sensed the changes in his Soul Power and Martial Soul before saying, "My Soul Power has risen to level thirteen, my physical strength has improved further, and my raw power has not changed. But my Gold Element has strengthened considerably."

"As expected of a King Kong Ape."

After hearing Jin Tianming's words, Tian Mucheng could not help glancing at the mangled King Kong Ape and sighing.

The records said that King Kong Apes possessed a trace of Tai Tan's bloodline mixed with a Gold Element bloodline, making them a particularly mixed breed of Spirit Beast.

His and Jin Tianming's luck was truly good. They had not walked through the forest for long before encountering such a Spirit Beast. If it were not for Huo Yuhao, he might have thought he was a Child of Fortune.

"Right."

After finishing the roasted meat in his hand, Jin Tianming remembered something and looked at Tian Mucheng. "Should we make a trip to Shrek City and check the timeline? If Huo Yuhao hasn't gone yet, we can make plans for Electrolux and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm."

"I'm afraid that won't work." Tian Mucheng shook his head and summoned his Dragon Soul Martial Soul. "This Dragon Soul of mine seems to be Spirit System. I feel like it strongly rejects other Spirit System Spirit Beasts."

Jin Tianming was somewhat surprised. He walked over to examine Tian Mucheng's Dragon Soul and fell silent for a moment before asking, "What about Electrolux?"

"I'm not sure. Let's go take a look first." After thinking for a moment, Tian Mucheng did not give a conclusion.

Jin Tianming stood and stretched, then reached out to pull up his original body. "Then let's get ready to set off!"

One extinguished the fire while the other cut some meat and put it into the cloth bag he carried. Only then did they leave the cave.

Shrek City

Shrek Academy was located near the Star Dou Great Forest. It could be said that the Star Dou Great Forest was very close, but home was very far away.

The bustling streets of Shrek City came into view before Jin Tianming and Tian Mucheng. Both of them could not help sighing inwardly. "For Shrek Academy to grow from a small village into something this powerful, it really is impressive."

As for whether he truly meant it as praise or something else, only he himself knew.

"Where do we go first?"

Jin Tianming communicated with his original body through their minds. The two were one and could use Mental Link. They truly disliked being surrounded by so many people, so they chose to communicate mentally.

After scanning the surroundings, Tian Mucheng replied through their minds, "Let's find an inn first."

"Alright!" Jin Tianming did not refuse. It was better to settle their lodging first.
