Are Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts Really Rare? Look Into the Ten Great Beast Kings!

The wind and snow of the Far North seemed to freeze at this moment.

Snow Empress's cold gaze landed on the chat group light screen, her fingertips tapping the ice surface unconsciously.

She watched that interactive affection between the blue-haired youth and Xiao Wu, and a sharp question gradually formed.

[Heavenly Snow Woman]: @Daddy Douluo, you go to such lengths to protect Xiao Wu... Could it be that you are preparing to absorb her spirit ring and spirit bone in the future?

This sentence pierced into the warm conversation like an ice pick, completely unprompted.

At the hotel entrance, Xiao Wu by Lin Qingmo's side trembled violently.

Her pair of pink rabbit eyes opened wide, holding complex tenderness inside.

She raised her head, looking at the youth beside her.

Sunlight filtered through the hotel porch, casting a faint glow across his blue hair.

There was no fear at the bottom of Xiao Wu's eyes—not a trace of it, only a trust bordering on piety instead.

If it is A-Qing...

She said softly in her heart, her fingers unconsciously clutching her skirt hem.

If my spirit ring can make A-Qing stronger... I am willing to sacrifice to him.

This notion had been deeply buried at the bottom of her heart ever since she regarded Lin Qingmo as the most important person.

It never changed.

The moment Lin Qingmo saw the message, however, his brows immediately furrowed, his expression shifting from relaxed to solemn.

[Daddy Douluo]: Sister Snow Woman, what kind of person do you take me for?

He replied quickly, with almost no hesitation.

[Daddy Douluo]: I have known Xiao Wu for so many years—in my eyes, she is no different from ordinary humans, and is even more sincere and trustworthy than many humans.

[Daddy Douluo]: Though I love snatching fortunes and complaining, I definitely do not have the vile idea of killing a friend to harvest their spirit ring and spirit bone.

[Daddy Douluo]: Let alone that Xiao Wu is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast; even if she were a million-thousand-year soul beast, as long as she is my friend, I will never harm her a single bit!!!

Three exclamation points emphasized his determination.

"A-Qing..."

Xiao Wu's entire heart melted.

Her eye sockets grew uncontrollably moist, sparkling tears swirling within her pupils.

If she were not afraid of exposing her chat group vest, she would probably have already pounced into Lin Qingmo's arms.

Right now, she could only hold tightly onto his arm, burying her face in his shoulder.

She murmured with a voice only the two of them could hear, "I believe you... I've always believed you."

[Little Witch]: Uh... If you can actually walk the talk, I'd quite admire you.

By the roadside, Ning Rongrong bit her lip as she typed.

Her mood was somewhat complicated.

That was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast... Exactly what soul master could resist this kind of temptation?

She asked herself and knew she couldn't—the attraction of a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone was simply too massive.

[Green Green Grass]: A-Qing is a good boy.

Ah Yin's message popped up at the right time.

[Green Green Grass]: Xiao Wu is also a good girl, and you must always stay together.

Almost simultaneously, a few wisps of pale green blue silver grass leaves drilled out from Lin Qingmo's collar.

They stretched out gracefully in the air, and then a grass leaf gently rubbed against Xiao Wu's cheek, its movement as tender as a mother comforting a crying child.

Xiao Wu was tickled by the rub, and she burst into laughter through her tears.

"Sister Ah Yin..."

She said softly, her heart feeling warm.

[The Pope Herself]: You are going to always protect her?

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong's purple eyes narrowed slightly.

She wanted to know just how firm Lin Qingmo's determination truly was.

Was it an impulsive promise made by a youth in the heat of the moment, or a conviction he could truly carry through to the end?

[Daddy Douluo]: Mm, I'll do all in my power.

Lin Qingmo's reply was simple and direct.

Four characters, yet they weighed as heavy as a hundred thousand catties.

[Bingbing]: Hmph, saying it like it's actually true.

In the Far North, Ice Empress let out a scornful laugh.

Her massive scorpion tail impatiently whipped against the ice surface, splashing countless shards of ice.

[Bingbing]: That's a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone, supreme treasures countless soul masters dream of; can you resist the temptation?

She didn't believe it at all.

In her long life, she had seen too many humans betray companions for the sake of power.

Familial affection, friendship, love—before formidable power, they were all vulnerable to a single blow.

"Humans are all selfish."

Ice Empress said to Snow Empress, her tone filled with disdain.

"It sounds nice now, but once that time actually comes... Hmph."

Snow Empress did not refute, only quietly watching the light screen.

Waiting for Lin Qingmo's reply.

[Daddy Douluo]: Tch.

Lin Qingmo's reply carried obvious disdain.

[Daddy Douluo]: Saying it like a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone are some big deal, in my eyes they're just so-so.

His tone was casual and offhand, as though discussing a stone by the roadside.

[Little Witch]: A-Qing, you must be joking, right? A hundred-thousand-year spirit bone is an absolute peerless treasure on the Douluo Continent!

[Little Witch]: A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone aren't impressive? Not even among top factions like the Upper Three Sects have I seen any soul master possess a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring!

As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was all too aware of how precious a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring was.

That was not merely power, but furthermore a symbol of status.

[Little Witch]: Moreover, hundred-thousand-year soul beasts are so scarce that wanting to encounter one is harder than ascending to the heavens, and even if you do encounter one, not even a Title Douluo is guaranteed to beat it.

This remark won the agreement of everyone in the chat group.

Bibi Dong especially.

She sat upon the throne of the Pope Palace, her fingers lightly tapping the armrest, a trace of complex emotion flashing deep within her purple eyes.

Her second martial soul still lacked a spirit ring.

If hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were plentiful enough... She truly wanted to completely attach hundred-thousand-year spirit rings to her second martial soul.

That way, her strength would reach an unprecedented height, sufficient to suppress the entire continent and fulfill all her plans.

Yet the reality was—hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were far too rare.

Across the entire Douluo Continent, the known hundred-thousand-year soul beasts could be counted on one hand.

Furthermore, every single one was difficult to hunt.

"What a pity..."

Bibi Dong muttered in a low voice, a trace of regret sweeping past the bottom of her eyes.

Right at that moment, however—

[Daddy Douluo]: Are they really rare?

Lin Qingmo's message popped up, carrying a meaningful counter-question.

[Daddy Douluo]: What you're talking about is the setting of Douluo I; it changed by Douluo II! Look into the Ten Great Beast Kings, look into the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, and look into sea soul beasts!

Three "look into" instances dropped down like three massive boulders cast into a calm lake surface.

[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Ten Great Beast Kings? Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North?

Blue Tyrant Academy,

Liu Erlong's brows were tightly knitted, her face full of puzzlement.

"What are these things?"

She had only ever heard of the Titan Giant Ape, the King of the Forest, being a powerful hundred-thousand-year soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Aside from that, she only knew of the legend of the Azure Bull Python.

And this beast king... what on earth was it?

She had never heard of these titles before.

Having lived for so many years, she considered herself well-versed in soul beast knowledge.

Yet these terms were utterly unheard of.

[Big-Breasted Kitty]: I've never heard of them either...

Inside the inn, Zhu Zhuqing was equally perplexed.

The Star Luo Empire's soul beast compendium was quite comprehensive, yet it never recorded any such "Ten Great Beast Kings".

[Daddy Douluo]: Tsk tsk tsk, of course you guys wouldn't know if you don't read Peerless Tang Sect; after all, that's a setting from ten thousand years later.

[Little Witch]: A-Qing, stop keeping us in suspense!

Ning Rongrong stamped her foot in agitation, her pink skirt hem swaying along with it.

[Little Witch]: Hurry up and tell us what these actually are, I have a feeling some major tea is about to drop!

She had already entered an excited gossip-mongering state, her eyes shining brightly like stars.

The curiosity of everyone else in the group was thoroughly hooked as well.

Everyone held their breath, awaiting Lin Qingmo's explanation.
