Testing His Strength, Arriving at a Small Town

After absorbing the Mountain Dragon King's Soul Bone, Su He got up late at night. Looking at Qian Renxue, who was fast asleep on the bed in the Crown Prince's palace, Su He kissed her forehead.

Donning her favorite black robe embroidered with a golden lion, Su He quickly arrived near the residence of Golden Crocodile Douluo.

The latter's perception was incredibly strong; the moment Su He arrived, he sensed her presence and slowly pushed open the door to come out.

"Is everything arranged?" Golden Crocodile Douluo's deep voice rang out as he asked Su He.

"Yes, Teacher. I am absolutely confident." Su He nodded seriously and replied.

With his current physical attributes after absorbing the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone, although his attack power is still at the Soul Sage level, his defense is already comparable to that of Titled Douluo.

Going to the Slaughter City can be described as being fearless.

"Teacher, please attack me once with the power of Titled Douluo."

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes widened; he truly couldn't imagine that such a request came from a Soul King- level Soul Master.

"No, let's start with Soul Sage first. If you can withstand that, then it won't be too late for me to use the power of Titled Douluo." Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head, not immediately agreeing to Su He's request.

Su He nodded, indicating that Golden Crocodile Douluo could begin.

A golden aura condensed in Golden Crocodile Douluo's hand, but he did not use Soul Skill.

This seemingly simple strike was comparable to a peak Soul Sage at level 79.

"Xiao He, are you ready?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked again before attacking.

"Soul Bone Skill, Mountain Mist Sacred Body!" Su He shouted, and the Soul Bone Skill of the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone was activated.

His body was enveloped in a layer of colorful divine power, the main color of which was gray like mountain rocks, causing even the Golden Crocodile Douluo to tremble.

His Power Divine Trial had already reached its Eighth Trial, so he naturally knew that the level of power in Su He's body had reached the divine level.

With the power within the Soul Bone, Su He's defense increased by 500%, and her entire body was imbued with the weight of a mountain range.

Every attack Su He now can be described in four words: with the force of Qian Jun!

"It seems you've had quite a haul on your trip to the Star Luo Empire, little one," Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled with satisfaction.

"If your grandfather saw your strength, he would be quite shocked, but that old fellow went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to break through to Level Ninety-Nine."

"Teacher, please enlighten me!" Su He was already prepared and said to Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Seeing that Su He had already taken a defensive stance, Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded and instantly unleashed a casual strike comparable to that of a peak Soul Sage.

The heavy punch landed on Su He's body, but the latter remained completely unmoved!

"Xiao He, your torso and bones..." Golden Crocodile Douluo sized up Su He and continued, "... the quality has probably reached the god-level."

"Teacher has a discerning eye!" Su He said with a smile. This Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone could not be considered simple God-tier Soul Bone; they were already close to the level of God King.

"Next up is the level 85 Soul Douluo!" Golden Crocodile Douluo increased his power and attacked again.

Su He remained unmoved!

"Next is level eighty-nine!" This time, Golden Crocodile Douluo even lit up his First Soul Ring, further enhancing his power.

Su He was slightly knocked back a few steps by the heavy blow, but she was completely unharmed.

This completely surprised Golden Crocodile Douluo, considering that Su He was only a level 53 Soul King.

"Good, I didn't expect you to have such defensive capabilities, little guy." Golden Crocodile Douluo was very satisfied with Su He's defensive strength and praised her.

"Next up is level ninety-five!" Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes had become serious, telling Su He that he was about to get serious.

"First Spirit Skill, Golden Lion Battle Physique! Third Spirit Skill, Golden Lion's Furious Aura!" Su He also assumed a defensive stance and activated his First Spirit Skill and Third Spirit Skill.

The defense was increased by another 80%, and the flowing Adamant Qi covered the bluish-gray divine light produced by the Soul Bone Skill like armor.

"Indestructible Golden Body!" Activating Indestructible Golden Body once more, Su He had already stacked up all the defenses she could!

Full defense mode!

Level 95 has already entered the realm of Super Douluo, which is completely incomparable to Level 89 Soul Douluo. Su He also attaches great importance to this.

As Golden Crocodile Douluo completed his Martial Soul Possession, he unleashed a powerful punch at Su He. Despite Su He's complete defense, she was still sent flying ten meters away by Golden Crocodile Douluo's punch.

Aside from his clothes being a bit dirty, he didn't have any other injuries.

Su He successfully blocked the power of the level 95 titled Du Luo! Even though she was knocked away, she did not suffer any serious injuries.

With such defensive capabilities, Su He was confident she could defeat Qian Renxue.

Although his Soul Power was not as high as Qian Renxue's, and even a full fourteen levels higher, the latter was unable to break through his defense.

Su He made a simple estimate and concluded that even Qian Renxue's strongest single-target attack skill, Sword of Divinity, was only at the level of Soul Douluo- level attack.

"Now that you have such defensive capabilities, I feel relieved to go to the Slaughter City." Seeing that Su He had withstood his attack, Golden Crocodile Douluo was completely at ease.

He had previously opposed Su He's trip to the Slaughter City, but now that Su He has the ability to protect herself, he will not stop her.

The two then embarked on a journey northward, heading towards the Slaughter City in the northern part of the Douluo Continent.

Golden Crocodile Douluo and Su He traveled for about twenty days. Since the location of the Slaughter City was clearly marked on the Spirit Hall's map, the two did not waste time searching for the route.

The weather was getting colder, Su He knew they were getting closer to their destination.

After traveling for about five more days, the two arrived at a small town.

Although it was a small town, the atmosphere here gave Su He a strange feeling. Su He couldn't explain why, but she could always feel an inexplicable chill emanating from the people passing by in the town.

As described in the Original Work, Su He and Golden Crocodile Douluo found a tavern and sat down. Although it was daytime outside, the black decorations made the tavern's interior feel extremely gloomy.

At this time, only about half of the seats in the tavern were occupied. The people there didn't pay much attention to Su He and her companion's appearance, only glancing at them before ignoring them further.

This wasn't Golden Crocodile Douluo's first visit to the town of Slaughter City. He had been here when he was young, but he hadn't entered the Slaughter City.
