Eight-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear! Bear Lord's Offspring!

Late at night.

Half-asleep, Lu Xiao only felt a gust of cold wind rush over him.

Lu Xiao abruptly opened his eyes, all traces of sleepiness gone.

The thick ancient tree beneath him was rapidly receding, while the wind howled past his ears!

Lu Xiao's gaze sharpened as he turned to look.

Xiao Wu, whom Du Busi held in his other hand, also woke at that moment.

Neither of them shouted in alarm. After all, they had grown used to this feeling back in the Soul Hunting Forest!

Du Busi moved through the air without a sound, his eyes locked firmly on the depths of the dense forest.

"Awake?"

Without turning back, Du Busi lowered his voice, unable to hide his excitement. "Good disciple, this old man's luck has arrived!"

Lu Xiao lowered his voice and asked solemnly, "Master, what did you find?"

"An eight-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!"

Du Busi spoke those seven words, each one weighty and filled with unconcealed delight. "Its meat is tender and juicy, especially that thick, succulent right paw! And it couldn't be more suitable as your second Soul Ring!"

Lu Xiao's heart stirred.

An eight-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear possessed foundations, Soul Power, and physical strength no weaker than those of a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast!

A Soul Ring of such an age perfectly matched his Body Martial Soul!

"That bear must have awakened to hunt for food and left its den."

Du Busi spoke rapidly, advising him in a low voice, "This beast is cautious and ferocious by nature. Once it stops, it will be time to satisfy this old man's appetite."

Du Busi continued racing forward at full speed, avoiding every dead branch and fallen leaf without making the slightest sound, fully displaying the foundations of a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo.

Nearly a thousand meters ahead, a dense, rancid stench suddenly filled the forest, mingling with the scent of earth and blood.

In the darkness ahead, an incomparably massive shadow moved slowly, crushing all the grass beneath it flat.

It was a gigantic bear covered in dark golden fur, over five meters tall. Its eyes held no emotion, only coldness and cruelty.

Its body was covered in dark golden fur, while its arms were especially thick and powerful, its broad shoulders as imposing as city walls.

At the ends of its two massive arms were peerlessly sharp dark golden claws, each claw over a meter long.

When those thick arms spread apart, the claws merely moving through the air with its body produced faint hissing sounds.

At that moment, the eight-thousand-year ferocious beast was crouched on the ground, pinning a huge tiger-shaped corpse beneath it.

The tiger was crimson from head to toe, its fur covered in flame patterns, with scorching Soul Power still lingering around its body.

A ten-thousand-year Blazing Fierce Tiger!

Lu Xiao recognized the Soul Beast at a glance. Though Notting Academy was small, its collection of books was quite extensive.

Otherwise, that useless Yu Xiaogang would not have chosen to remain at Notting Academy and plagiarize the wisdom of those before him!

The Blazing Fierce Tiger was a renowned high-level fire-element Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, violent by nature and immensely powerful in battle!

Yet now, this ten-thousand-year tiger, capable of crushing countless Soul Masters, had been torn apart alive, its flesh mangled beyond recognition.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear lowered its head and savagely tore into the Blazing Fierce Tiger's shoulder and back with its sharp teeth. Scalding beast blood dripped continuously from its jaws!

It devoured the flesh containing dense fire-element energy in huge mouthfuls. The originally heavy, dull dark golden fur around its body faintly began to glow with a layer of pale gold.

Eight hundred meters away, Du Busi stopped steadily in midair and gently placed Lu Xiao and Xiao Wu atop a thick branch. A strand of gentle Soul Power formed at his fingertips, completely concealing their auras.

"This luck is truly heaven-defying."

Du Busi's eyes shone as he stared fixedly at the giant bear feeding below. The pale golden pupils of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear carried an aura of kingship.

"That stupid bear is actually Bear Lord's offspring!"

Bear Lord ranked sixth among the Ten Great Beast Kings, and his true form was a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

One of the rulers of the Star Dou Great Forest, he possessed overwhelming offensive strength. Legend had it that his massive claws could tear through space.

He had once wounded the Beast God Di Tian with his Sky-Ripping Claw. In the entire Star Dou Great Forest, only the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian could subdue Bear Lord!

Lu Xiao focused his gaze and looked into the distance curiously. "Master, how could you tell it is Bear Lord's offspring?"

Du Busi smiled faintly. "For Bear Lord to become the patriarch of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan, his bloodline is naturally extraordinary. Ordinary Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears have dark golden eyes. Only his offspring are born with pale golden pupils!"

"That big stupid bear is so powerful. It even ate a ten-thousand-year Blazing Fierce Tiger."

Although Xiao Wu did not know what Bear Lord was, she could still tell how powerful the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was!

"Now."

A sharp smile curled across Du Busi's lips. The terrifying pressure of a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo crashed down like Mount Tai, instantly enveloping the forest for a thousand meters around!

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which had been gnawing on flesh, suddenly stiffened, every strand of dark golden fur standing on end.

It abruptly raised its head, its scarlet, icy beast eyes locking onto the sky as a low, vicious roar emerged from deep in its throat.

Its enormous body suddenly rose upright, its dark golden claws tensing with all their strength as cold light flared from their tips!

Two yellow, two purple, two black, and three red Soul Rings rose beneath Du Busi's feet, circling and pulsing!

"Third Soul Skill! Poison Demon Tyrant Body!"

"Fourth Soul Skill! Demonic Domain's Sorrow!"

Two purple lights lit up in succession, and Du Busi's body suddenly expanded violently!

Crack! Crack!

His muscles and bones boomed explosively as his body abruptly grew several zhang taller.

Layer upon layer of emerald poison patterns emerged across his body, twisting and winding like venomous dragons lurking around him!

Emerald toxic mist violently erupted from his body, sweeping across a hundred meters of forest in an instant. The grass and trees it touched immediately withered, decayed, and turned to ash!

The entire hundred-meter radius became a silent domain of poison!

Within the domain, Soul Power was thrown into chaos, poison surged to the heavens, and even the air had been tainted until it became thick and stagnant!

Below, genuine wariness appeared in the pale golden beast eyes of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear for the first time.

It did not dare hold anything back. Dark golden light around its body blazed brilliantly as the razor-sharp ultimate-gold energy frantically clashed against the power of the poison domain.

"Why resist? Is it useful?"

Du Busi stood in the air at the center of the poison domain, his voice cold as iron and his dominance overwhelming heaven and earth.

Bzzzzz!!!

The poison domain shook violently as toxic Soul Power frantically gathered and compressed, creating countless dark green poison palms, each several meters in size!

The poisonous hands filling the sky dove down together, launching a savage assault on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear from every direction!

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's ferocity erupted completely. It threw back its head and released a furious roar that shook the mountains and forest, while its pair of one-meter-long dark golden claws swung madly, producing an unbroken series of ear-piercing shrieks as they tore through the air!

Streams of incomparably condensed dark golden claw light shot through the air, smashing head-on against the poison palms filling the sky as the two forces collided wildly!

The poison seeped continuously through the gaps in the claw light. Its tyrannical toxins spread madly along the bear's blood vessels and meridians, numbing its body and suppressing its Soul Power.

In only a few breaths, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's movements had noticeably slowed. Its huge body trembled continuously, and painful, low whimpers escaped its throat.

"Sixth Soul Skill! Hell Poison Dragon Drill!"

The ten-thousand-year Soul Ring on Du Busi's body lit up, and a savage emerald poison dragon condensed from venom spiraled out from his right arm.

The dragon's fangs gleamed with chilling light, corrosive poison flames coiling around its body as it shot explosively toward the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's head!
