Soul Ring Requirements and Lin Mo's Lion's Mouth

The Soul Hunting Town closest to the Star Dou Great Forest was even smaller than Notting City. Most of the buildings in the town were constructed from wood and adobe, appearing quite crude.

However, there were quite a few people here, and the proportion of spirit masters was extremely high; spirit masters dressed in various attires could be seen everywhere on the streets.

Flender and Lin Mo did not linger in this small town. They bypassed it directly and headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest, which lay a hundred miles away.

After walking for about a day, the established road had completely disappeared.

They had already entered the territory of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Flender did not rush to look for spirit beasts in the outer perimeter, choosing instead to continue deep into the interior.

Flender cleared the path in front, while Lin Mo followed behind, maintaining the same silence as Flender.

After walking for about half a day, the number of spirit beasts appearing in the surroundings began to increase significantly.

Lin Mo saw a century-old Scale Armor Beast lying by a pond, and on the road, they encountered a group of century-old Wind Baboons jumping back and forth in the trees.

There were about a dozen of them.

Flender led Lin Mo to avoid them directly.

The cultivation years of these spirit beasts were too low and did not suit Lin Mo's requirements.

Not long after, Lin Mo looked at the lush environment around him, feeling a sense of helplessness in his heart.

He had been walking in the Star Dou Great Forest for quite some time now. Under Flender's guidance, the two of them had penetrated quite deep into the forest.

Judging by the strength of the spirit beasts appearing in the vicinity, they had undoubtedly crossed the outermost perimeter and arrived at the mixed zone.

To be precise, it should be the boundary between the mixed zone and the outer perimeter.

The spirit beasts appearing here had already shown a clear improvement in cultivation.

High-level century-old spirit beasts and thousand-year spirit beasts had become the main theme here.

Along the way, the vast majority of the spirit beasts encountered in this area were between the century and thousand-year levels, and occasionally, they caught distant glimpses of some ten-thousand-year spirit beasts.

Flender's Cat Eagle spirit was excellent at scouting; every time, before the spirit beasts could discover them, Flender had already led him to avoid them from afar.

"Alright, this is about right."

Flender stopped on the branch of a giant tree and looked down at Lin Mo below as he spoke.

Lin Mo also climbed onto the branch and stood beside Flender. From this height, he could see a relatively open area below.

"Lin Mo, because even Yu Xiaogang is unclear about what your spirit actually is, I cannot provide very good advice regarding the acquisition of your spirit ring. I can only offer some suggestions based on your performance."

Flender looked at Lin Mo and asked earnestly, "Is the spirit beast you require still the same as what you told me before?"

Flender's expression was very serious.

Finding a suitable spirit ring for a spirit master was no child's play, especially for a student with such special circumstances as Lin Mo.

Even Yu Xiaogang could not discern what Lin Mo's spirit was; in such a situation, if the wrong spirit ring were chosen, the consequences would be severe.

Rather than choosing for Lin Mo, it was better to let him rely on his own intuition.

Lin Mo nodded and repeated his requirements:

"I need a power-type spirit beast with a sufficiently high bloodline quality. At the very least, it must be a Great Strength Gorilla or a Diamond Baboon.

If I could find a Titan Giant Ape, that would be even better."

The second spirit ring was a crucial foundation for him, and he could not settle.

Naturally, the higher the quality of the spirit beast, the better.

The higher the bloodline quality of the spirit beast, the better the quality of the spirit skill provided.

Hearing Lin Mo's words, the corners of Flender's mouth twitched.

This kid really dared to ask for the moon.

The Great Strength Gorilla was one thing; that thing could only be considered upper-middle level among power-type spirit beasts.

The Diamond Baboon was different; it was a true top-tier power-type spirit beast. An adult Diamond Baboon could smash a small hill with a single punch.

As for the Titan Giant Ape, that went without saying.

Even if it were only a ten-thousand-year one, a Titled Douluo would have to take a detour upon seeing it.

Among the spirit beasts Lin Mo mentioned, apart from the relatively common Great Strength Gorilla, the remaining Diamond Baboon and Titan Giant Ape were both existences standing at the very pinnacle of the spirit beast food chain.

Spirit beasts of this level were not easy to kill, even if they were only thousand-year ones.

Watching Flender's expression, Lin Mo scratched his head and put on a simple, honest smile.

Flender looked at the kid's expression, his anger flaring up, but he couldn't do anything about it. After all, he was a student he had taken a liking to; what else could he do?

Lin Mo's mood, however, was very calm.

Having invited him to join Shrek Academy on the condition of obtaining the best thousand-year second spirit ring, it was impossible for Flender, as the dean, not to put in a great deal of effort.

Moreover, Lin Mo did not believe the demands he had put forward were particularly difficult for others to meet.

His Body Spirit was not overly picky regarding the type of soul beast; as long as it was a power-type soul beast with a sufficiently high bloodline quality and an appropriate age, it would suffice.

He had not made rigid demands for sub-dragon soul beasts like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did, and it would be even better if it were a lightning-attribute sub-dragon soul beast.

Every single direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had to hunt sub-dragon soul beasts for their soul rings. That was what one would call truly picky.

Sub-dragon soul beasts were already rare, and having to find one of the appropriate age made the difficulty level countless times higher than his current requirements.

Lin Mo considered himself to be quite easy to talk to.

Furthermore, when he had initially stated his requirements, Lin Mo had already exercised a great deal of restraint.

In fact, if it were possible, Lin Mo believed the best second soul ring—the one most compatible with his Body Spirit—would be one provided by a soul beast like the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was a soul beast that could dominate a region even in ancient times.

It was a beast-king-level existence.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was the legendary ancestor of all canine soul beasts, and there were even legends claiming it was the ancestor of all lion-type soul beasts.

It possessed immense physical strength and was born with the innate domain aura, Domination Domain!

Renowned for its battle frenzy, once it entered a combat state and triggered the Domination Domain, its attack and defense would skyrocket. It would feel no pain, and the power of all its inherent abilities would increase by over fifty percent.

Moreover, this creature's defining trait was that it would fight to the death!

Precisely because of this, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff could be said to have been an enemy to the entire world, making it difficult for it to survive in the soul beast world. This ultimately led to its extinction.

The bloodline quality of the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was ridiculously high, and it would be no exaggeration to say its physical strength was peerless among its peers.

If he could hunt a thousand-year-cultivation Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, the quality of his second soul ring would reach a terrifying level.

It would be no exaggeration to say that he could directly obtain the most overpowered thousand-year soul skill in the history of the Douluo Continent.

Alas, this thing was simply too overpowered.

Not to mention that the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had long since gone extinct, it was uncertain if any were even alive in this era.

Even if there were, even if it were only a thousand-year one, it was not certain that Flender could defeat it.

If they truly encountered one, the ones turning around and running would likely be him and Flender.
