The First Soul Ring, a Thousand-Year Spirit Master! The practice targets have arrived!

As this tyrannical energy rampaged through Lin Du's body, his originally motionless body began to tremble slightly, Qian Renxue, who had been watching Lin Du closely, immediately looked toward her grandpa, "It's fine,"

"Just a normal occurrence,"

Noticing the worry in his granddaughter's eyes, Qian Daoliu gave her a reassuring look, Hearing her grandpa's words, Qian Renxue's expression relaxed somewhat, but when she turned her gaze back to Lin Du, her delicate hands were clenched tightly together, revealing the unrest in her heart.

Just as Qian Daoliu had said, although this Soul Power was violent and unruly, Lin Du's body was no flimsy wooden cage that could be broken through at will, after all, before absorbing the Soul Ring, he had already consumed Heaven and Earth Treasures such as Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and Infernal Delicate Apricot, using his own body as a furnace, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye as the fire, he had spent an entire day refining them within, perfectly absorbing the medicinal effects of the Ten Thousand Year Whale Jelly, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and Infernal Delicate Apricot, so no matter how wildly this Soul Power rampaged through his body, it could not inflict any substantial harm upon Lin Du.

"I wasn't afraid of you when you were alive,"

"Do you think you can turn the world upside down now that you're dead?"

"Settle down for me!"

Lin Du suddenly roared, his own Soul Power condensed in that instant, surging in its entirety toward the Bright Green Lion's Soul Power raging within his body, This Soul Power seemed to want to resist, but Lin Du ruthlessly suppressed it each time, after several futile attempts at resistance, it could only helplessly accept reality and surrender, continuously assimilated by the Soul Power within Lin Du's body, becoming part of Lin Du's strength.

"He actually succeeded?!"

Feeling that the Soul Power around Lin Du was no longer violent and that his aura was steadily rising, shock appeared on Dugu Bo's face, as a Title Douluo who had absorbed a full Nine Soul Rings, how could he not know what successful Soul Ring absorption looked like?

"Great!"

"I knew Lin Du could do it!"

The worry on Qian Renxue's face vanished completely, replaced by overwhelming joy.

Qian Daoliu said nothing, but the smile at the corner of his lips grew increasingly pronounced, As time passed, Lin Du's aura rose to a certain critical point and stopped increasing, a few seconds later, the aura surrounding Lin Du completely withdrew, his tightly shut eyes slowly opened, and a brilliant violet gleam flashed past.

"Mission accomplished."

Lin Du slowly rose to his feet and turned to look at Qian Daoliu and the others, a smile appearing on his face.

"Your First Soul Ring is already a Thousand Year one."

"Your future achievements will be limitless, kid!"

With a flash, Dugu Bo appeared before Lin Du, his Emerald Green eyes filled with admiration and emotion.

"Then I'll borrow Poison Douluo's auspicious words."

Lin Du nodded with a light laugh, not bothering to be modest this time.

"Lin Du, Lin Du!"

"What is your First Soul Ring?"

Qian Renxue squeezed past Dugu Bo and stood before Lin Du, her creamy, flawless face full of curiosity.

"This place is too small to really stretch out."

"Let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"That place is big enough."

"And we can help you obtain your Fourth Soul Ring too, Xue'er."

Lin Du reached out and pinched Qian Renxue's soft cheek, an easy smile playing at the corner of his lips.

"Okay, okay!"

Qian Renxue nodded excitedly, not minding in the slightest that Lin Du was pinching her cheek like that.

"Poison Douluo."

"Would you like to come with us?"

Lin Du turned to Dugu Bo, his expression carrying a hint of inquiry.

"Let's go together."

"The Azure Phosphorus Snake Poison issue has already been resolved."

"I don't need to stay here all the time anymore."

"Besides, on the way back, I can pick up my family and bring them to Spirit Hall with me."

"Oh, right."

"Angel Douluo."

"Since I'm joining your Spirit Hall, housing is included, right?"

As though he had suddenly remembered something, Dugu Bo turned to look at Qian Daoliu.

"Don't worry."

"You'll have a place to stay."

Qian Daoliu gave a slight nod, making his promise to Dugu Bo.

Before long, a golden streak and a green streak shot into the sky, vanishing above Sunset Forest within a few breaths.

Title Douluo were incredibly fast.

Several hours later, the group had arrived above the Star Dou Great Forest. Looking down at the lush green ocean below, Lin Du knew full well what terrifying beings lay hidden within this vast, boundless forest. After gazing deeply toward the forest's very center, Lin Du withdrew his gaze and allowed Qian Daoliu to slowly lead him and Qian Renxue down.

With two Title Douluo accompanying them, entering the Star Dou Great Forest was exceptionally easy.

Unlike the cold, emotionless forest of steel, the Star Dou Great Forest brimmed with life everywhere.

The chirping of insects and birds never ceased, carrying the scent of true nature.

Yet Lin Du knew very well what dangers lurked beneath such abundant vitality.

Just while passing through the outermost area, he had already seen no fewer than a dozen human remains.

This was a hunting ground where humans slaughtered spirit beasts, but was it not also a dining hall where spirit beasts preyed on humans?

The identities of hunter and prey constantly shifted.

Only when one side truly died

would it be known who was the hunter and who was the prey!

"We've already entered the territory of Thousand Year Spirit Beasts,"

"Most of the creatures living here are Thousand Year Spirit Beasts,"

"though Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts occasionally appear as well."

"As for Xue'er's Fourth Soul Ring,"

"I've already..."

"Screech!"

Qian Daoliu had been explaining things to Lin Du and Qian Renxue, when a piercing bird cry came from above their heads.

It sounded like a steel awl scraping back and forth across a metal block, exceptionally grating to the ears.

Almost at the same moment, a shadow with a wingspan of over ten meters enveloped the four of them.

A scorching aura rushed toward them, instantly drawing Lin Du and the others' attention.

Looking up, they saw a strange bird covered in crimson flames glaring down at them hungrily.

Its beak was as sharp as a spear, glinting with scarlet cold light.

Its hooked talons were like blades, leaving no doubt that it could easily tear apart any prey it set its sights on.

The strangest thing, however, was the feathers on its tail.

Five long, slender tail feathers drifted in the wind like silk, giving the strange bird an appearance somewhere between beautiful and ugly.

"A mere five-thousand-year Crimson Flame Fire Phoenix dares to show hostility?"

"It must be tired of living."

There was no need for Qian Daoliu to act.

Emerald green light had already begun to rise from Dugu Bo's body, making it clear that he intended to kill this Crimson Flame Fire Phoenix that had offended them.

"Poison Douluo, don't be hasty."

"This Crimson Flame Fire Phoenix came at just the right time."

"Why not let me use it for practice?"

"It'll also be a good chance to let Xue'er and Grandpa see the power of my First Soul Ring."

Itchy for a fight, Lin Du spoke up to stop Dugu Bo.

As light flickered in his hand, the Dragon Ascending Sword appeared in his palm.

At the same time, a pale purple soul ring appeared around Lin Du, rising and falling rhythmically.
