Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on the face of Wang Lie.

Because the intruding soul beast had only been slightly hindered, and it continued to lunge toward the two of them at an extremely high speed.

One had to know that this was the outer perimeter, where the average age of soul beasts was at most a hundred years; such a situation was almost impossible.

This caught Wang Lie slightly off guard.

Fortunately, Wang Chuan, who had been receiving the Strongest Haki Inheritance for years, had extremely fast combat reflexes. He immediately blocked in front of Wang Lie, raised his hand, and threw a heavy punch, engaging in a head-on collision with the incoming soul beast.

It was also at this moment that Wang Chuan saw the true form of the intruder: it was a giant golden python with a body length of at least ten meters.

Wang Lie came back to his senses, lingering fear still on his face.

Immediately, the confusion in his eyes transformed into naked killing intent!

Seven soul rings fully manifested; Wang Lie subconsciously prepared to get serious.

It had almost cost them, grandfather and grandson, their lives.

This soul beast had brought death upon itself!

But just then, Wang Chuan noticed something peculiar about the golden python, his pupils constricted sharply, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Spare its life, Grandfather!"

In an instant, the flames erupting from Wang Lie's hands split down the middle, stopping at the very last moment so as not to harm the soul beast.

But the heat wave radiating from the flames alone was enough to bring the somewhat bewildered soul beast back to its senses.

It seemed it had provoked a human powerhouse it shouldn't have!

Although it possessed a noble bloodline, the instinct to seek advantages and avoid harm was universal regardless of species, and it subconsciously twisted its serpentine body, wanting to flee.

Wang Lie snorted coldly. Since Wang Chuan had told him to stop, how could he not understand his grandson's intention? How could he possibly let this soul beast run away!

In the next instant, just as the flames dissipated, a large amount of water surged forth, pinning the giant python against an ancient tree, leaving it to twist its body continuously, yet completely unable to break free from the restraints.

At this moment, the experienced Wang Lie also saw the intruder clearly. His pupils constricted just like Wang Chuan's, and he said in surprise.

"A single horn on its head and mysterious patterns on its body—this is a Titan Golden Python! I never expected that you and I, grandfather and grandson, would have the luck to encounter such a rare soul beast!"

Wang Lie then examined it closely, but sighed with regret.

"It's a pity this fellow already has a thousand years of cultivation; otherwise, it would have been suitable for your first soul ring. After all, this kind of Sub-Dragon is a rare non-elemental Sub-Dragon."

However, Wang Lie soon chuckled again, praising Wang Chuan.

"It's all thanks to your timely reminder, kid, otherwise this fellow's soul ring would have gone to waste.

Although it isn't suitable for you, the big shots among these soul beast clans would definitely be interested in it.

By going through their channels, it's much more reliable than the two of us blindly searching for a soul beast that matches your attributes."

Wang Chuan nodded slightly, affirming Wang Lie's judgment, because this Titan Golden Python was worth exactly that price.

On the Douluo Continent, any soul beast that had the word "Titan" attached to it was definitely not simple. The most prominent examples were the Titan Giant Ape and the Titan Snow Demon King, both of which were said to possess the bloodline of gods.

In the mythological settings of Wang Chuan's previous life, the Titans were the first children of the gods born from the union of the primordial Sky Father and Earth Mother in Greek mythology, meaning they were the favorites of the gods.

However, Wang Lie was wrong about one thing.

That was that this Titan Golden Python was not a non-elemental soul beast.

Although its bloodline origin was unknown, among the dragon clans of the Douluo Continent, anything that could be associated with "gold" must possess a power attribute.

However, this view was not accepted by the current Douluo Continent, because there were simply no records of it. At any rate, Wang Chuan had not seen any, and even the detailed records of the Silver Dragon had been glossed over.

Because there were not many true dragons on the Douluo Continent, and such soul beasts were only distributed on the Sun-Moon Continent.

But none of these were what Wang Chuan cared about right now.

Wang Chuan thought to himself: the Titan Golden Python was gold, and his Golden Scale was also gold. Could there be a connection between the two?

After all, the true form of Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao was the Golden Sacred Dragon!

And a Sub-Dragon with a golden bloodline, even among the already scarce Sub-Dragon soul beasts, was an extremely rare existence.

In other words, if he missed this one, it would be too difficult for Wang Chuan to find a similar soul beast again!

Realizing this, Wang Chuan's eyes suddenly sharpened. However, to avoid a mistake, he summoned Golden Scale first.

As soon as it materialized, Golden Scale immediately shivered all over, baring its fangs at the Titan Golden Python in a stress response.

But beneath this surface reaction, Wang Chuan, who shared a telepathic connection with it, could feel it.

The longing from the depths of Golden Scale's bloodline!

The final doubt was dispelled.

Although he knew what he was about to say was shocking, he wouldn't get another chance like this.

Wang Chuan said earnestly.

"No, Grandfather.

I want the soul ring of this Titan Golden Python! There is no need to trade it away."

Wang Lie, who had been in a fairly good mood just a moment ago, felt his body stiffen upon hearing Wang Chuan's words, then turned around and said in disbelief.

"You've lost your mind, Xiao Chuan. This guy is a thousand-year soul beast; how can it be your first soul ring!"

But when Wang Lie met Wang Chuan's determined gaze, the words of dissuasion he was about to continue became stuck in his throat.

At this moment, Wang Chuan extended his arm and said earnestly.

"I haven't lost my mind, Grandfather. This is the result of my careful consideration.

As a Soul Saint, you should know this.

Before reaching the ten-thousand-year level, a soul master's ability to absorb a soul ring depends on their physique.

And as someone who defeated a Soul Grand Master from the main branch, I believe my physique is absolutely not inferior to a Soul Elder, so I am confident I can absorb it.

If you don't believe me, Grandfather, then come and test my physical strength."

Hearing Wang Chuan's explanation, Wang Lie fell silent for a moment.

He knew that what Wang Chuan said made sense, but he still placed his hand on Wang Chuan's wrist, feeling uneasy.

And just as he began to sense the muscles on the surface of Wang Chuan's body, the corners of Wang Lie's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

As his perception delved deeper into Wang Chuan's meridians and bones, Wang Lie's expression finally changed completely, looking at Wang Chuan as if he were looking at a monster.

"You, you, you...!"

Wang Lie's lips trembled for a long time, not knowing how to describe the shock in his heart.

Because Wang Chuan's physical fitness was already comparable to those veteran Soul Ancestors!

And he was only twelve years old; he hadn't even absorbed his first soul ring yet. This was simply a human-shaped soul beast!

Suddenly, the scene of Wang Chuan rushing to help just now flashed through Wang Lie's mind, and his eyes immediately filled with realization.

Although the Titan Golden Python could not compare to the level of the Titan Giant Ape, which could rival a Title Douluo even at the ten-thousand-year level, it could still easily fight across ranks.

A thousand-year Titan Golden Python was something ordinary trashy Soul Kings couldn't even take down, so it didn't seem that strange that his own grandson had this kind of physical fitness.

Like hell it didn't!

After fiercely retorting in his heart, Wang Lie pulled himself together, though he still said with some lingering concern.

"Since that's the case, then you may try.

But I'm telling you now, Grandson: the moment I sense anything wrong, even if it damages your meridians, I will forcibly interrupt your absorption of this soul ring."

Wang Chuan nodded slightly, indicating that this was only natural.
