"Capture... a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
Upon hearing this, even Dugu Bo felt his heart skip a beat.
If Lin Fan could truly capture and control a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, wouldn't that mean Lin Fan already possessed the power to stand on equal footing with him?
At this moment, the look Dugu Bo gave Lin Fan was no longer one of surprise, but of sheer terror!
Previously, Dugu Bo had held Lin Fan in high regard and was willing to become sworn brothers with him, firstly because Lin Fan could neutralize the toxins within him and his granddaughter, and secondly, because he believed Lin Fan had potential.
In a few decades, he would surely be able to step into the realm of a Title Douluo!
But having potential was one thing; it was quite another for a mere Soul Grand Master to possess combat power comparable to a Title Douluo!
At this moment, Dugu Bo desperately hoped that Lin Fan was joking.
Otherwise, the fact that his own years of bitter cultivation couldn't compare to Lin Fan's few days since awakening his Martial Soul was enough to make one depressed enough to vomit blood.
However, after staring at Lin Fan for a moment and seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Dugu Bo realized that he had truly encountered a monster.
"Are you certain?"
Dugu Bo said in a deep voice, "If they discover us, even if they are mortal enemies, they will prioritize attacking us humans!"
Those not of our race must have different hearts.
This saying applied not only to ancient times but even more so to the Douluo Continent.
After all, humans and Soul Beasts were two completely different races!
Regardless of any grudges or how fiercely they fought each other, the moment they encountered an alien race, they would inevitably unite against the outside world until the enemy was slain before continuing their own battle.
"Of course."
Lin Fan looked toward Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and chuckled, "It's your turn to act, isn't it? You were so arrogant just now; shouldn't you let me see just how capable you really are?"
"Or were you just bragging?"
Don't let the high age of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fool you; despite living for over a million years, it had spent the vast majority of that time cultivating in solitude. When its soul power finally grew strong, it was captured by the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Forest, leaving its inner self much like a child's.
Perhaps it knew many things and could play some small tricks or schemes, but its mental age remained very young.
The tactic of provocation worked every single time!
Sure enough, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm snorted and said, "Brother never brags. A mere two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are nothing; as long as I unleash my spiritual power, they will absolutely never discover you."
"However..."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm rolled its eyes and added, "The commotion I'm about to cause won't be small, so we must leave the Star Dou Forest as quickly as possible."
Clearly, although Di Tian and the others were in deep slumber, their spirits could still sense the situation outside to a slight degree.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had the means to escape temporarily, but if it took too long, it would inevitably be discovered.
That was why it urged Lin Fan to leave as soon as possible.
"No rush."
Lin Fan chuckled, "It won't be too late to leave after we capture the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in a moment! What's wrong? You're so powerful; could it be that there's something in this Star Dou Forest that you fear?"
"Look at the color of your soul ring, brilliant gold... tsk tsk, even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts probably can't compare to you, right?"
Because the Super Poké Ball did not need to rely on Lin Fan to absorb a Martial Soul, it could withstand the full power of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and the soul ring color was not white, but brilliant gold.
After all, although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was weak in actual combat, it was a genuine Million-Year Soul Beast that had already touched the threshold of becoming a god.
Only then did Dugu Bo notice the color of the Super Poké Ball's second soul ring, causing his heart to race.
Wasn't the highest soul ring the red Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring?
What kind of age did a brilliant gold soul ring represent?
At this moment, Dugu Bo suddenly felt exhausted; why did it feel like he, a Title Douluo, was like an ignorant child in front of Lin Fan?
"That goes without saying."
Flattered and provoked by Lin Fan, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's expression became buoyant as it grinned, "Your Brother Sky Dream is a Million-Year Soul Beast; using spiritual power to interfere with two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts is a piece of cake."
"Fine, since you want to go take a look, then let's go!"
"However, there aren't just two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts over there; to be precise, there are three Ninety-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts currently besieging one Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
Hearing this, Lin Fan was stunned for a moment.
Three Ninety-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts fighting one Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?
Why did that sound so much like the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor brothers?
But weren't they supposed to clash with the Titan Giant Ape later on?
Or perhaps they had fought long ago, only for the battle to remain undecided until Tang San intervened later and killed the three brothers.
Thinking about it, although the Titan Giant Ape had a higher age and a stronger race, the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor brothers were particularly special; even if they couldn't defeat the Titan Giant Ape, they had the ability to escape.
Knowing the identities of the Soul Beasts, a thought suddenly occurred to Lin Fan.
What if... he just captured the Titan Giant Ape directly?
The Titan Giant Ape was no ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast; its strength was formidable, but when the Super Poké Ball captured Soul Beasts, it only looked at their age.
With the Titan Giant Ape captured, he would have the strength to contend with even two-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts in the future.
As for the Titan Giant Ape being disobedient?
In ordinary times, Lin Fan would have no need for it; when he did need it, it would surely be a life-or-death crisis.
If Lin Fan were to die, all the Soul Beasts within the Poké Ball would perish as well. As long as the Titan Giant Ape did not wish to die, even if it were unwilling, it would have to obediently fight for Lin Fan!
"Let's go!"
Lin Fan was not a man of indecision, quickly beckoning Dugu Bo to follow. As for the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, it had already become Lin Fan's Soul Ring; wherever Lin Fan went, it had to follow.
Hum—
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also deployed a Mental Barrier, shielding both Lin Fan and Dugu Bo.
At this moment, unless a Soul Beast ran directly into them, it would be impossible to sense their presence!
Even beings as powerful as the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape could not detect them!
He estimated that at this point in time, only Di Tian could sense them, but Di Tian was still in deep slumber.
Feeling that vast, deep-sea-like mental power, Dugu Bo grew increasingly astonished. How did such a Soul Beast become Lin Fan's Soul Ring?
In his memory, he had never seen Lin Fan go off to kill any Soul Beast!
However, astonishment aside, under the protection of the mental barrier, Lin Fan and Dugu Bo soon arrived at the battlefield of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
Lin Fan had guessed correctly; it was indeed the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor and the Titan Giant Ape locked in mortal combat.
Under the influence of the Gravity Domain, the Titan Giant Ape displayed divine might, practically hammering the three brothers of the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor, leaving them with nothing but the ability to parry.
Yet, their strength was also immense, and their physiques were terrifying. Though they appeared to be taking a beating with blood splattering everywhere in a miserable display, their lives were not yet in danger.
Even if they continued to fight, the outcome would only be them fleeing with heavy injuries, not death!
"Hiss... that giant ape... is it truly a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
Upon seeing the Titan Giant Ape, Dugu Bo immediately felt a sense of threat, his expression turning grave: "Its strength far exceeds that of a standard Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. If I were to face it, I would surely die!"
"If it's too much, we should leave."
Dugu Bo knew that for Lin Fan to capture a Soul Beast, the beast needed to be in a weakened state first; otherwise, success was not guaranteed.
Therefore, after feeling the terrifying power of the Titan Giant Ape, his heart began to waver.
"What are you afraid of?"
"We're already here! So... get ready to strike!"
Lin Fan's eyes were sharp as a hawk's, locked firmly onto the Titan Giant Ape!
The first Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was finally within his reach!
