Aurora Dragon-Tooth Beast!

With Xuan Zi's speed, they quickly arrived at the outskirts of Star Dou Forest.

During this period, Ye Chen had actually been under observation every day.

Although he went to Mu En's place to study every day, aside from some basic knowledge and meditation, he had not undergone any combat training.

In his previous life, he had been an intellectual who firmly believed that the mind was more useful than the fist.

Mainly because he had been too lazy. Although he enjoyed watching all kinds of fighting videos, he had never learned any form of combat.

In other words, although Ye Chen possessed Soul Power now, he had absolutely no means of attack or combat experience.

Though his two Martial Souls were powerful, he only roughly knew their origins and legends so far. As for what abilities they possessed, he would need to slowly explore them through future cultivation.

So tragically, he needed the help of an elder to obtain his first soul ring.

However, there had still been one change after his Martial Soul Awakening.

"Most transmigrators in fantasy novels get a cheat right from the start, like a system or cultivation technique. Why don't I have anything?"

Ye Chen raised his head to the sky and thought helplessly.

Still, with two powerful Martial Souls, he was already quite satisfied. Strength cultivated by oneself was the most reliable.

"Xiao Chen, once we enter Star Dou Forest, you must stay by my side. Remember, do not run around. There are beings within this dense forest that even I fear greatly."

Xuan Zi looked at Ye Chen and warned him solemnly.

"Got it!" Ye Chen did not argue with Xuan Zi. It was simply his nature—he knew when he could relax and joke around.

Likewise, he knew when he needed to be serious.

Although this was only the outer region, it was not impossible for those terrifying beings from the core region to occasionally venture out.

Moreover, Xuan Zi clearly remembered a time when he had led a team here to hunt soul rings for Inner Court students.

Because of his carelessness, the result was—

Thus, one old man and one child began searching the outskirts of Star Dou Forest.

According to what Mu En had said before, for his first soul ring, it would be best if he could find a Plant Soul Beast with the Light Attribute and a suitable cultivation age.

Since the Fusang Divine Tree was originally a plant, a Plant Soul Beast would undoubtedly be the most compatible.

However, Plant Soul Beasts were rare to begin with, and the additional requirement of the Light Attribute made suitable ones almost impossible to find.

So if they truly could not find one, they could use a Light Attribute Soul Beast of another type instead.

If even that failed, they could only choose a Fire Attribute Soul Beast.

Even now, Mu En still could not understand it no matter how much he thought about it.

Ye Chen's Martial Soul was clearly a plant, so why did it possess the Ultimate Fire Attribute?

In all of Douluo Continent, only Ye Chen could vaguely guess the reason.

Although Fusang was a tree, it was also the place that bore the sun.

According to legend, ten suns formed from Three-legged Golden Crows rested upon the Fusang Divine Tree. Based on the ancient ten Heavenly Stems, they took turns bringing light to the earth.

The flames possessed by the Golden Crows were the True Sun Fire, the foremost among the legendary ten divine flames!

Although there was not even a trace of a Three-legged Golden Crow in sight now, this Ultimate Fire Attribute was surely related to that matter somehow.

Plant Soul Beasts with the Light Attribute were incredibly rare—perhaps even rarer than Soul Beasts with the Mental Attribute.

After searching for nearly an entire day, the two of them had not found a single one in the outer region.

As night slowly descended from the horizon, Xuan Zi used Soul Power to dry the damp ground and lit a bonfire.

"Do we really have to go deeper? But if we go any farther in, the Soul Beasts we find will definitely exceed the limit of what you can withstand, Xiao Chen." Xuan Zi sat cross-legged with his back against a large tree and spoke helplessly.

His appearance was as sloppy as ever. From the first time Ye Chen had met him until now, it seemed that not the slightest thing had changed.

"Roar!"

Just as Ye Chen heard Xuan Zi's words and fell into thought, a beastly roar sounded in the distance.

The two turned at the same time and looked toward the source of the sound.

By then, the sky had grown very dark, and only the clouds at the horizon still reflected the sun's final lingering rays.

Even so, Ye Chen could still sense a powerful Light Attribute spreading from the direction of the roar.

He possessed an Ultimate Light Martial Soul, and his perception of light elements was even sharper than Xuan Zi's.

"Drunkard Grandpa, it's a Light Attribute Soul Beast!" Ye Chen made the judgment immediately, his heart tightening.

"Is that so? I wonder whether it's suitable. If it is, we can make do with it. Plant Soul Beasts with the Light Attribute are simply too rare!" Xuan Zi said thoughtfully, ideas stirring in his heart.

From so far away, I couldn't even determine what attribute that Soul Beast has. How did Xiao Chen know?

It was only because that Soul Beast happened to have the Light Attribute. If it had possessed an attribute Ye Chen did not have, he would not have been able to sense it.

The Ultimate Light Ye Chen possessed seemed to be the progenitor of all light attributes, granting him an extremely strong perception of similar elements.

In the short time they had been talking, the surrounding light elements grew denser. A dazzling figure charged toward them at astonishing speed.

Xuan Zi's pupils contracted as he recognized the Soul Beast—an Aurora Dragon-Tooth Beast!

Though its name contained the word "dragon," it looked more like a tiger-type Soul Beast and possessed a pair of enormous fangs.

Its body usually displayed a camouflage coloration, but when it entered combat, that camouflage transformed into dazzling aurora-like colors. That was how it got its name.

After cultivating for ten thousand years, an Aurora Dragon-Tooth Beast could rival other Soul Beasts with fifty thousand years of cultivation. It could be called a creature at the top of the food chain.

This kind of Soul Beast was particularly rare. The Soul Master world outside had even once believed it to be extinct, yet it had unexpectedly appeared here again.

What Xuan Zi found regrettable was that this Aurora Dragon-Tooth Beast already had nearly fifteen hundred years of cultivation. Otherwise, it would have been an excellent choice for Ye Chen's first soul ring.

At the same time, Xuan Zi felt a trace of doubt.

To avoid being disturbed by Soul Beasts, Xuan Zi had just released his pressure over a certain area. No Soul Beast should have dared to blindly charge over.

Yet this Aurora Dragon-Tooth Beast seemed utterly unconcerned, rushing straight toward them.

Even Ye Chen could sense the terror radiating from its aura, as though it were being pursued by something terrifying.

And as it drew closer, Ye Chen saw a massive wound on its abdomen. Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out like a stream.

But in the outskirts of Star Dou Forest, what could wound such a top-tier Soul Beast—one capable of dominating the outskirts of Star Dou Forest—to this extent?

And what could make it so terrified?
