Purple Heaven Flood Dragon

Tang San furrowed his brow. "Big brother, this is too dangerous."

"Don't worry. With my Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, I can escape just fine as long as no ten-thousand-year soul beasts show up." Tang Yu smiled faintly. Several afterimages appeared beside Tang San, while Tang Yu himself seemed not to have moved at all.

Tang San's pupils contracted. Tang Yu's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was simply too powerful. Even with his Purple Demon Eye, Tang San could barely keep track of Tang Yu's movements.

Seeing how powerful Tang Yu's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was, Tang San finally felt reassured enough to let him go alone. Although Tang San was the younger brother, Tang Yu had never let him stop worrying.

After leaving, Tang Yu wandered around Soul Hunting Forest. His martial soul was Thor's Hammer, and he knew he needed a lightning-attributed soul ring. But lightning-attributed soul beasts were rare to begin with, and suitable ones were even rarer, so he wasn't in a hurry. He strolled leisurely through the forest.

Some fearless soul beasts came to provoke him along the way. Tang Yu made sure they learned the hard way! He'd found a great way to fight: toss Thor's Hammer at a soul beast and take it out in one blow.

Along the way, several hundred-year-old—no, thousand-year-old—soul beasts met their end beneath Thor's Hammer. The hammer's weight was no joke; even a hundred-thousand-year soul beast couldn't lift it.

Before long, Tang Yu heard some unusual noises in the forest. He immediately watched his surroundings warily. Suddenly, a dark shape darted through the grass beside him, and Tang Yu quickly activated his Purple Demon Eye.

The shadow flashed past again, and Tang Yu caught sight of a streak of purple lightning. Delighted, he thought, This has to be a lightning-attributed soul beast! I hope it's around three hundred years old!

The dark shape suddenly lunged at Tang Yu. He hurriedly swung his hammer and sent it flying. If he hadn't had his Purple Demon Eye, the creature would have caught him by surprise.

Tang Yu looked at the soul beast. It was a ten-meter-long purple giant snake, now unconscious. He walked up to it and examined it closely, noticing that it had four legs and two raised bumps on its head.

"Good grief, could this be a soul beast on the verge of becoming an Eastern Dragon? What a pity it's only ten years old." Tang Yu sighed. A soul beast's age was determined by its size, and this half-snake, half-dragon creature was only ten meters long. At a glance, it looked like a ten-year soul beast.

Just then, the system's voice rang out. "Host, don't be fooled by appearances. This is a five-thousand-year soul beast called the Purple Heaven Flood Dragon. If it can grow to the hundred-thousand-year level, every soul beast on Douluo Continent will have to acknowledge it as their king!"

"How is that possible? How can it be so small at five thousand years old?" Tang Yu asked, unconvinced.

The system explained, "There are many mysterious things in Douluo Continent that never appeared in the original story. This soul beast is one of them. Its body can grow or shrink at will, allowing it to survive more easily when it's weak."

Tang Yu nodded, then smiled. "I never saw any Purple Heaven Flood Dragons in Douluo II or Douluo III, so I guess it never grew to a hundred-thousand-year soul beast."

"I've got to have this Purple Heaven Flood Dragon. I'll come back for it when I need my fourth soul ring!" Tang Yu smiled.

The system spoke up. "Host, why don't you kill it now and absorb its soul ring?"
