Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Right Arm Palm Bone

"Got it, got it!" Gu You unleashed his Martial Soul and charged deeper into the forest.

With a Limit Douluo protecting him, he had to kill to his heart's content.

"This child." Leng Yaozhu shook her head helplessly. He was too impulsive—why was he acting like a child...

As he ran, Gu You leaped up. Empowered by his Martial Soul, he used Dragon Claw to propel himself onto the crown of an ancient tree.

What kind of sight lay before him? It was an endless green ocean, rolling as far as the eye could see. The sky was clear, the clouds light, and the boundless greenery stretched beyond the horizon. The enormous canopies gave off an indescribable sense of life, as though this world possessed inexhaustible vitality.

It was too realistic. This virtual world technology was a thousand years ahead of his previous life.

Under Gu You's careful observation, more than a dozen Hundred Year Diamond Baboons were still playing among the distant treetops.

"I'll start with you." Gu You shot forward in an instant as purple Dragon Scales began covering both his hands.

The Diamond Baboons noticed Gu You as well. They roared at him, trying to scare him off.

But all that greeted them was a deep dragon roar and Dragon Claws filled with Destruction and Annihilation.

One Diamond Baboon after another fell. Gu You's methods were brutal, every strike exploding a head.

Leng Yaozhu frowned slightly as she watched from the sky. His methods were somewhat savage, but she liked that. Earlier, because of the Tyrant Dragon Soul Spirit, she had thought the child was rather kind-hearted.

What Leng Yaozhu did not know was that Gu You merely treated this as a realistic game. In reality, he would likely restrain himself much more.

Before long, the Diamond Baboons' blood soaked the treetops. Soon afterward, their corpses and blood turned into specks of light and vanished, leaving behind only energy that could raise Soul Rings.

However, Gu You did not lower his guard. Group-dwelling Soul Beasts like Diamond Baboons generally had a stronger leader. Anything capable of commanding these Hundred Year Diamond Baboons was either a Thousand-year Soul Beast or close to one.

It's here!

Purple Gold Annihilation Kill!

Gu You gave a cold shout, firing Purple Gold Annihilation Kill into the brush behind him. A furious roar immediately followed.

As the dust from the collision dispersed, a Diamond Baboon covered in white fur and standing two or three meters tall entered Gu You's sight.

Not a Thousand-year Soul Beast. Gu You sighed in relief, though it was close. It had probably mutated too, but he had no idea what its mutated ability was.

Leng Yaozhu remained silent in the sky. Unless absolutely necessary, she would not intervene. Letting him enter the Beginner Spirit Ascension Platform already counted as abusing her authority. Only Soul Ancestors and those below could enter. If she stepped in, she would truly be breaking the rules. If word got out, public pressure alone could crush her to death. Though she was not afraid of that, she feared that if she made an exception once, then twice, there would be a third time. If she brought her disciple in this time, others might use it as precedent to bring in their own disciples later.

But at that thought, Leng Yaozhu smiled faintly. She also wanted to see just how much combat power this disciple she had picked up for free could unleash in battle. One thing she was certain of was that Gu You's talent was no worse than Yun Ming's had been in his youth—perhaps even better by a few points.

The battle between Gu You and the Albino Diamond Baboon continued. Purple Dragon Claws collided head-on with the baboon's fists, and the staff outside the Spirit Ascension Platform nearly dropped their jaws at the sight. Was this a humanoid Ferocious Beast? No wonder the vice tower master had taken this boy as her disciple. He truly was a genius.

Gu You was already cursing inwardly during the fight. Why hadn't Leng Yaozhu acted yet? So she had come just to stand around? He was nearly unable to hold on. That last Purple Gold Annihilation Kill had almost drained him dry.

Damn it, I'm going all in!

Gu You used Purple Gold Annihilation Kill with his left hand once more, and his face instantly turned pale. Yet he could not stop. His right hand continuously gathered the Annihilation and Destruction attributes unique to his own Martial Soul. In the end, a dragon phantom and a Dragon Claw struck out together.

Roar—!

Accompanied by a long roar of fury and unwillingness, the Albino Diamond Baboon fell. The area it had guarded turned into specks of white light and vanished into the world with it.

Seeing the ground covered in energy, Gu You was delighted. He no longer cared about Leng Yaozhu or anything else, immediately sitting down to absorb it.

As the endless stream of energy gathered upon his Soul Ring, Gu You felt something indescribable course through his body, a wonderfully subtle sensation.

Soul Rings could greatly enhance every function of the body. Ten Year Soul Rings did so, and Hundred Year Soul Rings did so even more.

After a brief rest, before Gu You had fully recovered, a roar suddenly echoed throughout Star Dou Forest.

Leng Yaozhu stared in shock at the massive bear below.

"How is that possible? A Hundred Year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear!"

Though it was only a Hundred Year Soul Beast, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's terrifying strength, sharp bear claws, and tough hide were enough to contend with Thousand-year Soul Beasts.

"Why was it released?" The staff watching outside the Spirit Ascension Platform were dumbfounded. This Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear had been formed from a piece of Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Palm Bone and certain special energy. It was considered a minor leader. After defeating it, it would drop a Soul Bone for absorption.

Leng Yaozhu prepared to act at any moment. Both she and Gu You wore red button rings on their arms. Pressing them would immediately withdraw them from this Spirit Ascension Platform session, but that was useless against powerful Soul Beasts. Their reaction speed simply could not match the speed at which such beasts could kill them. Although the special equipment used this time meant they would only suffer seventy percent of the pain after exiting, it could still cause extremely dangerous mental trauma. If they could not endure it, they might become vegetative.

Everyone was shocked, and Gu You even more so. He was already running for his life, but when he saw the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear about to catch up, he hardened his heart.

Fine, fight it! What the hell am I afraid of? It's not like I can die!

Although he had not recovered much Soul Power, it was still enough to use Purple Gold Annihilation Kill once.

Martial Soul, activate!

Purple scales instantly covered Gu You's arms again. Boundless, surging power erupted alongside a dragon roar that resounded across Star Dou Forest.

The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear also froze for a moment. Fear seemed to flash through its eyes, but it ultimately charged at Gu You, raising its bear claw.

Gu You dodged aside and struck the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's back with Dragon Claw. With a bang, he was forced backward, clutching his arm in agony.

Its defense was insane, and it even had damage reflection. Its abdomen was hard to hit too. No matter what he did, it was a dead end. Gu You was unwilling to accept it.

As though he had suddenly thought of something, Gu You smiled at the sky.

"What is that brat doing?" Leng Yaozhu was inwardly alarmed.

Gu You relaxed his entire body. He was truly gambling everything, desperately squeezing himself dry and gathering all his strength into the Dragon Claws on both hands. Annihilation and Destruction aura burst forth, and even the surrounding air seemed to freeze. But the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear did not care. It opened its jaws, raised its paw, and mindlessly charged at Gu You.

As it drew near, its bear paw was about to smash Gu You's head to pieces, and Leng Yaozhu was about to intervene.

Purple—Emperor—Annihilation—Kill!

With a dragon roar and Gu You's furious shout, a dragon phantom shot from beyond his twin Dragon Claws straight into the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's mouth. The reversal came too quickly. The overwhelming power caused the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear to collapse from within and explode. No one had expected Gu You to be so insane.

A black beam shot into the sky, drawing the attention of many Soul Masters within the Spirit Ascension Platform. It also marked the fall of one of the platform's minor leaders, with a Soul Bone as the reward.

Gu You's hands trembled violently. Purple-red blood flowed from the fine edges of the Dragon Scales covering his claws, yet he seemed unable to feel pain as he reached toward the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Right Arm Palm Bone glowing with golden light.
