Tenth-Thousand-Year Soul Skills, Arriving in Heaven Dou City

"Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei stepped forward together, offering simultaneous congratulations.

At the same time, Golden Crocodile Douluo also walked over with his hands behind his back, smiling as he patted Su Mo's shoulder.

"Hahaha, not bad! You brat, so young yet already possessing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring—and a fifth one at that. Truly, the younger generation is to be feared."

Su Mo was practically watched by him step by step as he grew up, and in his heart, he had long regarded Su Mo as his own grandson.

To be able to see Su Mo possess such strength now made Golden Crocodile Douluo happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile flatters me." Su Mo's tone was modest. "Without Grandpa Golden Crocodile holding the fort, today's events would never have gone so smoothly."

This was not false modesty on his part, but the honest truth.

If Golden Crocodile Douluo had not single-handedly restrained the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, they could never have captured Xiao Wu, and those two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts would never have voluntarily chosen to sacrifice themselves.

Just then, a graceful figure approached, and it was none other than Bibi Dong.

She grabbed Su Mo's arm, pouting with a mix of coquettishness and helplessness. "Hmph, stinky junior brother, congratulations. I was finally about to catch up to your footsteps, and in the blink of an eye, the gap is this huge again."

She was only at level forty-four right now, still a long way from a Soul King. By the time she broke through to Soul King, Su Mo might already be a Soul Emperor.

Of course, she was not envious or jealous; seeing Su Mo possess his current strength made her genuinely happy, and she was merely acting spoiled and complaining a little.

Su Mo turned his head, a pampering smile on his face as he reached out to gently stroke the bridge of her nose.

"Don't worry, my senior sister. Junior brother will definitely help you hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in the future."

"Hmph, that's more like it." Bibi Dong's lips curved upward, her gaze rippling.

She then asked curiously, "Then what are your soul ring and soul bone skills?"

Su Mo slowly explained, "The hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone both have two skills. My first soul ring skill is called Asura Dragon Soul Slash, which is a direct-attack skill that can slash out a dragon soul to attack the enemy.

The second soul ring skill is called Sky Azure Dragon Soul Bind, which is a control-type skill that can summon the soul of an azure dragon to entangle and bind the enemy.

Once caught in it, if one wants to break free, the primary condition is that their overall strength must be above mine, and secondly, they also need to possess sufficiently formidable skills to shatter the bind."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "My soul bone skills are the Sky Azure Bull Python's two abilities.

The first is the Sky Azure Sluggish Divine Claw, which can dull the target's six senses and mobility tenfold.

The second is the Sky Azure Extinction Thunder, which summons extinction thunder to attack the enemy with tremendous might."

Bibi Dong sighed with emotion. "It truly lives up to being a hundred-thousand-year soul skill."

Golden Crocodile Douluo chimed in, "With Xiao Mo's current strength, anyone below a Soul Sage should be no match for him."

Yue Guan smiled. "His Highness is blessed with outstanding talent, and his current strength truly leaves this subordinate in awe."

Gui Mei followed closely behind. "His Highness's ability is something this subordinate can never hope to reach."

Su Mo gave a helpless, slight shake of his head. Why were these two sycophants starting to butter him up again?

At this moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke. "Alright, the hour is getting late, and after a whole day of fighting, you must be tired. Let's rest here for the night and head back tomorrow."

"This subordinate will go find some food," Gui Mei said, turning into a dark shadow and vanishing.

Shortly after, a few soft bone rabbits were cleaned and set up on a fire to roast.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they each crawled into their tents to rest, with Yue Guan and Gui Mei taking turns keeping watch.

Two days later, the sun set in the west.

Heaven Dou Imperial City.

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Mo and his group headed straight toward Heaven Dou City.

At this time, only Golden Crocodile Douluo accompanied them, as Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan had returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei had gone back to Spirit City to report on the mission.

The reason Su Mo did not return was that having lived in Spirit City for many years, he had never truly gone out to take a good look around. Most of his time during this excursion for actual combat had also been spent in bitter cultivation at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the Sunset Forest.

Therefore, Su Mo intended to return after some time had passed.

Upon entering the city, the primary objective was naturally to find a place to stay first, as this trip to Heaven Dou City would likely keep them there for a while.

Given their status, they naturally did not need to trouble themselves over it.

Su Mo's group headed straight for the Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Branch Hall.

The Martial Soul Branch Hall was located in the central area of the imperial city, possessing a magnificent and imposing aura.

When Su Mo and the others arrived, the branch hall's platinum bishop was handling official business. Hearing the deacon's report, he hurried out of his office.

As soon as he came out, he recognized Golden Crocodile Douluo, who a year ago had held the Elder Token and asked him to deliver a message to His Holiness the Pope.

Subsequently, his gaze swept over Su Mo and Bibi Dong. Although he did not know their identities, being able to travel with an elder and walk ahead of him meant they were definitely extraordinary figures.

However, as a platinum bishop, he was also an old fox; since the other party did not volunteer the information, he did not ask too much, simply firmly engraving their appearances in his mind.

"Welcome, Elder. This subordinate failed to greet you from afar, please forgive me!"

The platinum bishop hurried forward, bowing deeply with a respectful attitude that reached its absolute limit.

Golden Crocodile Douluo waved a hand, his tone casual. "No need for formalities. We have just arrived in Heaven Dou City and require a quiet residence; you may arrange it."

"Yes, yes, yes, this subordinate will attend to it right away!" The platinum bishop replied repeatedly, not daring to delay for even a fraction of a second.

He immediately summoned several deacons and gave them low-pitched instructions.

In less than an hour, everything had been properly arranged, and even carriages had been prepared.

Shortly after, the platinum bishop personally led Su Mo's group to a luxuriously expansive manor located in the southern part of the city.

"My Lord Elder, is this place to your satisfaction? If there is any impropriety, this subordinate will make new arrangements immediately."

The platinum bishop asked cautiously, his eyes observing Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression.

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked around and nodded slightly. "Acceptable. You may return. Unless there is an urgent matter, there is no need to disturb us."

"Understood, this subordinate takes leave. If the Elder has any instructions, just send someone to let me know, and this subordinate will come at the first call."

The platinum bishop backed out with a bow.

At this moment, Bibi Dong smiled. "Junior brother, let's hurry upstairs to check out the rooms."

She pulled Su Mo's hand and ran straight up the stairs, arriving at the top floor to push open the door of the master bedroom.

The room was exceptionally large, decorated with classical luxury, and the floor-to-ceiling windows faced the garden. At this moment, night had already descended, and moonlight spilled over the soft carpet.

"This room isn't much different from the ones we have in Spirit City, though it's much quieter here." Bibi Dong looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

Su Mo walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows and drew the curtains.

"Senior sister, you've survived in the wild for over a year, braving the wind and sleeping in the dew, and hunting soul rings these past few days has been hard on you. Go take a nice, relaxing bath to wash away the fatigue, get a good night's rest today, and tomorrow we'll go out and properly tour Heaven Dou City."

Bibi Dong let out a soft acknowledgment, then walked into the bathroom.

Su Mo sat down on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest his mind.
