Returning to Star Dou

Meanwhile, Qing Mu, who was heading to the Star Dou Great Forest, was unaware that Tang San had already come to hate him because of the lingering traces of the Solar Beam.

Even if Qing Mu knew, she wouldn't care too much.

Since he encountered that crazy woman Liu Erlong and was forced to fight back, the conflict between him and Tang San was already destined.

After Qing Mu hunted down the Blue Silver King as Soul Ring and took away the Blue Silver Emperor's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, the conflict between the two had reached an irreconcilable level.

If Tang San knew his true identity, Qing Mu would need to worry about his parents' safety, but now Tang San only knows of his existence, so he poses no threat to Qing Mu at all.

Putting aside the dubious attention from the Divine Realm, Tang San's strongest true reliance right now is none other than Tang Hao.

Although Qing Mu may not be able to defeat Tang Hao in a direct confrontation right now, she is more than capable of protecting herself.

Even if Tang San finds out Qing Mu's identity after some time, it will be too late.

Because Qing Mu has most likely grown to the point where even if Tang Hao fully recovers from his injuries, he is no match for him.

What Qing Mu needs most right now is time.

"It's a pity that old guy Dugu Bo is unwilling to spar, otherwise having him accompany me to level up would be a good option."

Looking at Venusaur, Qing Mu sighed with some regret.

Regardless of the circumstances, Dugu Bo is a Title Douluo, and the experience he can provide is no less than that of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, which is incomparable to those Soul Beast that are tens of thousands of years old.

"However... when it comes to items for leveling up, if that bug existed, it might be the most suitable choice."

Suddenly, Qing Mu's eyes flashed as she thought of the Million-Year Soul Beast in Douluo 2, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

Although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is Million-Year Soul Beast, its combat power is actually only equivalent to that of an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

And this is the combat power he possessed only after truly breaking through a million years. Before reaching a million years of age, he couldn't even defeat ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Qing Mu even suspected that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm at this moment might not be a match for the 85,000-year-old Blue Silver King.

Qing Mu's trip to the Star Dou Great Forest may well have been motivated by a desire to find the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

If the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Sky Dream Ice Silkworm exists, then judging from the timeline of Douluo 2, it might have already arrived on land, and perhaps even been captured by Ferocious Beast like Di Tian, and used as Charge bank.

Of course, it would be even better if we could intercept it. Although the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is extremely weak, it is still Soul Beast beast that is close to a million years old. The experience it can provide after defeating it is undoubtedly much more than that of an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Even if Qing Mu can't find the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he can still use the Star Dou Great Forest, the largest gathering place of Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent, to gain experience and level up.

With Qing Mu's current level, he might not be able to defeat powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like the Titan Giant Ape or the Azure Ox Python, but with the Grass Slide and Teleport, escaping would be no problem at all.

Since the Blue Silver Forest is not far from the Star Dou Great Forest, Qing Mu and Venusaur only took a few hours to reach the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest thanks to the Grassy Terrain.

Looking at the Star Dou Great Forest not far away, Qing Mu suddenly felt a strange sensation rising within her.

When he last came to the Star Dou Great Forest, he was only a level 29 Soul Grandmaster. He was chased by Soul Beast, kidnapped by the Snake Dowager, and almost killed by the Titan Giant Ape.

However, in less than three years, when he returned, he had become a level 61 Soul Emperor, and his true Combat Power had reached the level of a Title Douluo. Even the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny would not be his match.

These two drastically different circumstances left Qing Mu somewhat dazed.

After a moment, Qing Mu shook her head and laughed, "The improvement is too fast; even I feel it's unreal."

"Thank you, Venusaur!"

At this moment, Qing Mu suddenly expressed his gratitude to Venusaur.

It was precisely because he awakened Bulbasaur as his Martial Soul that he was able to reach where he is today.

Otherwise, if Qing Mu had awakened another Martial Soul, even a top-tier Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power, Qing Mu would at most be at the Soul Elder level now.

"Da na?"

Seemingly sensing that Qing Mu was feeling down, Venusaur stretched out two vines and gently patted Qing Mu's back.

Seeing this, Qing Mu couldn't help but chuckle, never expecting to be comforted by Venusaur.

"It's alright, Venusaur, it's just that I'm feeling a bit sentimental right now."

Qing Mu patted Venusaur's head, and the lingering emotion in her heart immediately vanished.

Then, Qing Mu's expression turned serious, and he said to Venusaur, "Let's go to the nearby towns to stock up on some supplies, and then we'll go into the Star Dou Great Forest to level up."

"Da na~"

Venusaur nodded, then transformed into a stream of green light with Qing Mu and vanished from the spot in an instant.

After purchasing several months' worth of supplies in a small town near the Star Dou Great Forest, Qing Mu and Venusaur entered the Star Dou Great Forest together.

This time, Qing Mu's goal was very clear. He bypassed the Outer Zone and Mixed Zone and headed straight for the Core Zone of Star Dou Great Forest.

The Core Zone of Star Dou Great Forest, a forbidden zone in the eyes of ordinary Spirit Master, is nothing more than a leveling-up place for Qing Mu and Venusaur.

Only the Lake of Life at the very center of the Star Dou Great Forest could make Qing Mu wary.

After all, that place might be the slumbering place of Ferocious Beast like Di Tian, or even Gu Yuena Lord of Soul Beasts.

However, Qing Mu didn't need to worry too much. After all, Tang San had visited the Lake of Life many times in the later part of the original story, and Di Tian and the others hadn't reacted.

This is enough to prove that Di Tian and the others are either seriously injured or delayed by some matter and unable to escape; otherwise, how could the Lake of Life be occupied by two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

Furthermore, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Ox Python seemed unaware of Di Tian and the others' existence, which is quite intriguing in itself.

Suddenly, Qing Mu's eyes lit up, and she said with some surprise:

"It's a 70,000-year-old Crimson Blood Battle Pig Emperor. These kinds of Soul Beast have thick hides and tough flesh, making them perfect for leveling up."

Before Qing Mu appeared a blood-red wild boar, eight meters tall at the shoulder and of immense size. The powerful aura emanating from its body and the dark red markings on its forehead proved that this Crimson Blood Battle Pig had completed its bloodline evolution and become the emperor of the Crimson Blood Battle Pig clan.

"Venusaur, use Leech Seed quickly, don't let him get away!"

"Da na~"

When Venusaur saw the Crimson Blood Battle Pig Emperor, it couldn't help but smile. It remembered that the first Thousand-Year Soul Beast they encountered when they entered the Star Dou Great Mountain Range was also the Crimson Blood Battle Pig.

Just as Qing Mu and Venusaur began leveling up, intermittent Growl echoed from the depths of the Lake of Life in the Core Zone Star Dou Great Forest.
