The Red Spirit Fox King

"Xiao An, do you know how Spirit Beasts are distributed?" ### On the way, Bibi Dong suddenly asked. Shang An's materials stated that he liked reading, so she had asked this question partly to test him. ### Shang An naturally realized what Bibi Dong was thinking. He had not spent these past few years reading for nothing. He might not have been able to find any secret knowledge, but there were still introductions to the various Spirit Beast forests, and Shang An had made a point of studying them. ### "Spirit Beasts are mainly distributed among two large Spirit Beast forests and more than a dozen small Spirit Beast forests. ### "The two great forests are Star Dou Great Forest and Sunset Forest. The small Spirit Beast forests include Haagen-Dazs Soul Hunting Forest, Heaven Dou Soul Hunting Forest, and this Martial Soul Hall Soul Hunting Forest where we are now. ### "Among them, Star Dou Great Forest is one of the largest gathering places for Spirit Beasts on the continent. It covers an enormous area, spanning the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and contains all kinds of Spirit Beasts. ### "Star Dou Great Forest is further divided into the Outer Area, Mixed Area, Core Area, and the legendary Great Fierce Land. The closer one gets to the center of the forest, the stronger the Spirit Beasts become. ### "There are even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts inside. Any Spirit Master, as long as they have sufficient strength and good luck, can find the Spirit Ring best suited to them there. ### "Sunset Forest lies to the east of Heaven Dou City. It is a fertile forest rich in high-grade Spirit Beasts. Its overall strength is weaker than Star Dou Great Forest's, but its living conditions are better, and its areas are divided similarly to those of Star Dou Great Forest. ### "However, Sunset Forest is safer and more suitable for intermediate and advanced Spirit Masters seeking Spirit Rings. ### "As for the small forests, they are relatively limited in size. Since most of these forests are considered to be raised in captivity by humans, powerful Spirit Beasts are rarely seen there. Their area divisions are also rather crude. The forest we're in, for example, is divided only into the Outer Area and Core Area. These forests are more suitable for low- and intermediate-level Spirit Masters hunting Spirit Rings." ### Shang An spoke at length, unhurried and composed, clearly having mastered this knowledge thoroughly. However, he then added with a hint of uncertainty: ### "In addition, Douluo Continent has two other places with abundant Spirit Beasts. The first is the sea. There are also many Sea Spirit Beasts in the sea, and since the ocean is boundless, I suspect that the Spirit Beasts within it may be no weaker than those on the continent. ### "The second is the Far North. The Far North is sparsely populated, so most people don't know much about it. However, Ice-attribute Spirit Beasts can survive there very well. At present, few people venture into the Far North, and information about it is scarce. ### "But the Far North has existed for a very long time, and few people go there to hunt Spirit Rings. The development of its Spirit Beasts has not been affected, so I believe the Far North may even have multiple Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Its overall strength should not be weak and may even surpass Sunset Forest." ### Bibi Dong listened to Shang An calmly explain the distribution of Spirit Beasts. His unhurried manner unconsciously overlapped with a certain figure in her mind. Although that person's appearance was nowhere near as good as Xiao An's, his confident bearing was remarkably similar. ### Of course, Shang An had no idea that Bibi Dong was comparing him in her mind to a certain Yu Dash. Otherwise, he would definitely have worn an expression as if he had eaten shit. ### "Wow, Xiao An, you're amazing!" ### Hu Liena's eyes shone. Shang An had looked so handsome just now. I really want to with him... ### Hu Liena's words also brought Bibi Dong back to reality. She looked at Shang An with approval. His words had indeed given her a great surprise, especially what he had said about the sea and the Far North. ### These were not things that ordinary books would record. Even when they did, there would be little more than a few scattered words. ### That was because the people of Douluo Continent currently had only a shallow understanding of those two places. Yet Shang An had made reasonable deductions based on those scattered bits of information. ### Shang An was only six years old. If his Spirit Master talent had not been too exceptional to waste, he might have achieved even more astonishing results in the field of Spirit Master theory. ### "Not bad, Xiao An. Your talent for researching Spirit Master theory is no weaker than that of a former friend of mine. However, you still need to guard against arrogance and impatience and work hard at your cultivation. You must understand that cultivation is the foundation of everything." ### Having experienced her breakup with Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong knew deeply that strength was the foundation. If she had possessed the cultivation of a Title Douluo or even a Peerless Douluo back then, who would have dared interfere with her relationship? And how would Qian Xunji have dared commit such an inhuman act? ### A friend, Yu Dash? Shang An sneered inwardly. Yu Dash did have some talent, but it depended on whom he was being compared with. Compared to him, did Yu Dash even qualify? Nevertheless, he answered aloud: ### "I understand, Teacher. I will work hard at cultivating from now on and protect you." ### "Then you need to work hard." ### Bibi Dong pinched Shang An's little cheek. The feeling was indeed wonderful. However, she took his promise to protect her as nothing more than a joke. After all, she was already a Peak Douluo and also possessed a Deity inheritance. On Douluo Continent, who could hurt her? ### But when she saw the seriousness in Shang An's eyes, Bibi Dong's heart trembled slightly, and she added: ### "Keep it up. Teacher believes in you!" ### "I'll protect Teacher too." ### Hu Liena hurriedly spoke as well, while silently adding in her heart: And I'll protect Junior Brother. ### "There's something ahead." ### Ju, the miserable scout walking at the very front, suddenly stopped. His mental perception detected a large number of Spirit Beasts ahead. ### "Your Holiness, I'll go ahead and scout the situation first." ### After receiving Bibi Dong's agreement, Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly rose into the air. Although with him and Bibi Dong, a Peak Douluo, nothing should happen in this tiny Spirit Beast Forest, it was always better to be safe than sorry. ### Besides, as an employee, he had to show the proper attitude in front of Bibi Dong, his boss. ### "What a heavy smell of blood." ### Chrysanthemum Douluo flew rapidly through the air. Before long, he neared the area where something had happened, and a thick smell of blood rushed toward him, making him frown deeply. ### As he drew closer, he gradually lowered himself. Although this Soul Hunting Forest posed no threat to a Title Douluo, caution was a virtue every qualified Spirit Master should possess. ### Bibi Dong and the others had waited only a short while when Chrysanthemum Douluo returned, carrying a large, fiery-red fox in his hand. ### The fox's fur was glossy, clearly the favorite of certain wealthy ladies. Unfortunately, it was now covered in blood and wounds, damaging the integrity of its pelt. Otherwise, it could have sold for at least several hundred Gold Soul Coins. ### The fox was already on its last breath. Chrysanthemum Douluo casually tossed it aside and respectfully said to Bibi Dong: ### "Your Holiness, two Spirit Beast groups are fighting ahead. I discovered a sixteen-hundred-year-old Red Spirit Fox King that is highly compatible with Miss Hu Liena, so I took the liberty of capturing it and bringing it back." ### Bibi Dong replied: ### "Elder Ju did well. Nana, hurry up and thank Elder Ju." ### "Nana thanks Elder Ju." ### Hu Liena gratefully thanked Chrysanthemum Douluo. ### "No need to thank me. Go absorb the Spirit Ring." ### Chrysanthemum Douluo waved his hand, then glanced at the large fiery-red fox nearby. ### "I was a little heavy-handed just now. If you don't act soon, it will die." ### Upon hearing this, Hu Liena said no more. She took a dagger from her Soul Tool and drove it directly into the Red Spirit Fox King's neck. ### The Red Spirit Fox King widened its eyes and stared fixedly at Hu Liena, its gaze filled with resentment and unwillingness, as if it wanted to etch her into its memory forever. ### Unfortunately, it failed to glare out any miracle. The light gradually faded from its fox eyes, and a purple Spirit Ring condensed from the Red Spirit Fox King's corpse. Hu Liena sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state, beginning to guide the Spirit Ring. ### Bibi Dong and Shang An waited nearby, while Chrysanthemum Douluo kept watch over their surroundings. ### Shang An carefully observed Hu Liena's process of absorbing the Spirit Ring, hoping to comprehend its profound principles. Wisdom continuously flashed in his eyes. He watched and watched, then... gave up. ### His mental strength was still too weak, and his Primordial Spirit could not be brought into play. Merely looking with his eyes was completely insufficient to analyze the essence of a Spirit Ring. ### After another moment, the Spirit Ring slowly sank into her body. Hu Liena stood and stretched, displaying the full charm of a young girl. ### After absorbing the Spirit Ring, her constitution had also grown stronger, and certain parts of her figure had become even more impressive. ### "Teacher, I succeeded!" ### "Mm, Nana, show me your Third Spirit Skill." ### Bibi Dong was not surprised. Succeeding in the absorption was only normal. As the top genius nurtured by Spirit Hall, if she could not even absorb a Spirit Ring of a suitable age, she would not be worthy of being Bibi Dong's disciple. ### "Okay, Teacher." ### Hu Liena activated her Martial Soul Possession. A fox phantom appeared behind her as yellow, yellow, and purple Spirit Rings revolved around her. Two fox ears grew from her head, and sharp claws sprang from her fingers, making her even more enchanting. Although she was still young, she already possessed a hint of beauty capable of bringing ruin to a kingdom. ### Seeing this scene of Martial Soul Possession, Shang An clicked his tongue in wonder. As expected of the Demon Fox. If certain Furry enthusiasts saw this, they probably wouldn't be able to control themselves. ### The Douluo settings are inconsistent, so I've combined them as follows: ### 91–94: Ordinary Title Douluo ### 95–98: Peak Douluo/Super Douluo ### 99: Peerless Douluo/Limit Douluo ### Then there is the issue of lifespan. ### Upon entering the rank of Title Douluo, one's remaining lifespan is multiplied by three. In other words, if you become a Title Douluo at ninety, you won't have many years left to live. If you become one at twenty, your lifespan can exceed two hundred years. After that, each increase in rank adds a different amount of lifespan depending on the individual's vitality, with a maximum increase of one hundred years. ### The setting in Douluo II is that Tang San changed the rules and reduced the lifespan of Title Douluo.
