Lin Fan naturally knew nothing of Di Tian and Bi Ji's conversation. By then, he, Gu Yue Na'er, and Zi Ji had already traveled far from the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area.

Lin Fan was actually a little curious. Why had Bi Ji whispered a few words to Di Tian, only for Di Tian to suddenly agree to entrust Gu Yue Na'er to him?

After all, Lin Fan was only level 10 and still young. Were they really at ease letting him protect Gu Yue Na'er?

However, Lin Fan did not dwell on it too much. Bi Ji was the guardian of the Star Dou Great Forest and had always opposed launching a Beast Tide. In Douluo Three, she was also a very kind Spirit Beast. She probably had no ulterior motives, and at the very least, she definitely would not want to destroy humanity. As for what she had said, it was probably related to Gu Yue Na'er.

Although Zi Ji had not agreed to help Lin Fan find a Soul Ring, she slowed down at this moment. She saw Lin Fan tightly clutching her with one hand while his other arm was still wrapped around her leg, looking at her with longing in his eyes.

This little brat... forget it, he's just a child... Zi Ji looked at Lin Fan, and her gaze softened again. She thought that since her master would be entrusted to this boy in the future, she should treat him a little better. There was that mysterious human female powerhouse behind the boy; perhaps he came from some great family in the human world.

Zi Ji was not worried that anyone could seize Gu Yue Na'er's Soul Ring. She was the Silver Dragon King. She had not transformed into human form, but merely sealed away her power and memories. No one could tell that she was a Spirit Beast. Once she encountered danger, the power within her would naturally protect her true body.

Since Beast God Di Tian had agreed to hand Gu Yue Na'er over to this boy, he must have had his reasons.

Thinking of this, Zi Ji smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, child. Once we reach the outer perimeter of the forest, I'll help you find a suitable hundred-year Soul Ring..."

A hundred-year Soul Ring? How could that do?

Lin Fan hurriedly said, "I don't want a hundred-year one. I want a Ten Thousand Year one. Sister, take me down now. My martial soul can absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."

"A Ten Thousand Year first ring? Are you joking? You're human. Only our master, cultivating with her true body, is free from the restrictions of Soul Ring age limits..."

Zi Ji looked at Lin Fan in astonishment, but seeing the determined seriousness in his eyes, she still brought him down. She also wanted to see what special ability this boy chosen by the Beast God possessed.

Naturally, Zi Ji would not hunt Spirit Beasts herself. The moment she descended, many Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts sensed the aura of a dragon from her and fled in fright.

Zi Ji looked around and let out a dragon roar. Several hundred Spirit Beasts over ten thousand years old soon gathered, respectfully kneeling around her.

Zi Ji chose a Ten Thousand Year lightning-element Spirit Beast whose lifespan was nearing its limit, a Lightning Demon Spider. With a gentle command, she made the ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast sacrifice its Soul Ring of its own accord, willingly allowing Lin Fan to absorb it.

Lin Fan summoned his martial soul, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, and began absorbing the Lightning Demon Spider's Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. This black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring had only just surpassed ten thousand years.

But Lin Fan then discovered that while the Immortal Slaughtering Sword could withstand the energy of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, his body could not quite endure it. There was also the impact on his soul. This Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring seemed to be devouring his consciousness in return.

Damn it. Absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as my first Soul Ring really is too much...

Lin Fan's body had already taken an Enhancement Pill. Its effect could raise the body's strength to its utmost limit for three days. If not for the Enhancement Pill, Lin Fan would have been unable to hold on long ago.

Just as Lin Fan felt his consciousness beginning to blur, the sword intent of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword suddenly surged into his mind, instantly clearing his head.

Lin Fan immediately stopped absorbing it. Though he felt somewhat disappointed, he had already experienced the process of absorbing a Soul Ring. He quickly smiled at Zi Ji and said, "Sister, I was wrong. My first Soul Ring really can't absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, but it can absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring. Sister, help me find a Spirit Beast around five thousand years old."

That was right. Lin Fan had now already attempted to absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, and he was confident that while his first ring could not be ten thousand years, a thousand-year one would definitely be possible. The Enhancement Pill had strengthened his body to its limit, and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword's sword intent could resist the Soul Ring's impact on his soul. His second or third Soul Ring would certainly be able to absorb a Soul Ring over ten thousand years old.

"Fine, go ahead and try." A charming smile appeared on the young Zi Ji's lips. She was not worried about Lin Fan's life at all. She had never wanted to hand Gu Yue Na'er over to Lin Fan in the first place. If Lin Fan died from being devoured by the backlash of absorbing a Soul Ring, she could simply take Gu Yue Na'er back.

After saying that, Zi Ji summoned another five-thousand-year-old juvenile dragon Spirit Beast. This juvenile dragon Spirit Beast was exactly five thousand years old. It had been hunted by humans a few days ago and was already seriously injured, with only a few days left to live. Zi Ji once again made it willingly offer up its Soul Ring.

Faced with the purple thousand-year Soul Ring, Lin Fan's absorption went smoothly this time. The strength of his body after its ultimate enhancement had already surpassed that of a Soul Ancestor above level 40, while the sword intent of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword easily purified the impact the thousand-year Soul Ring had on his soul and mind.

Lin Fan's Soul Power Level successfully rose to level 11, and he obtained his first soul skill: Dragon Flame Consecutive Slash.

This was the soul skill gained by attaching a thousand-year fire dragon Soul Ring to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. Lin Fan gripped the Immortal Slaughtering Sword tightly and activated his first soul skill. The purple thousand-year Soul Ring instantly lit up.

Purple flames began burning atop the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, and several streaks of purple sword energy appeared.

Lin Fan slashed his sword at a large tree not far away.

In an instant, sword energy crisscrossed the air. The Immortal Slaughtering Sword in Lin Fan's hand automatically launched five consecutive strikes. Several streaks of purple sword energy, carrying purple flames, slashed the great tree five times in succession. In less than a few seconds, the massive tree, so thick that several people could barely encircle it, was split apart and collapsed, bursting into flames.

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction and put away the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. Zi Ji stared at him in astonishment as well. After all, Lin Fan was only level 10, yet an attack of this caliber could only be unleashed by a strong attack-type Battle Soul Master at Soul Elder rank or above.

"All right, Sister, we can leave now..." Lin Fan smiled at Zi Ji.

At that moment, Gu Yue Na'er happily ran to Lin Fan's side and said in a joyful, innocent voice, "Big Brother Xiao Fan is so amazing! What move was that? Na'er wants to learn it too."

Lin Fan smiled and stroked Gu Yue Na'er's silver hair, saying softly, "Na'er, you don't need to learn it. I'll protect you."

Lin Fan then noticed that Gu Yue Na'er's Soul Power seemed to be below innate level 10, probably only level five or six. She had lost her memories and did not even know how to cultivate. He would have to teach her. Once she learned how to cultivate, she should quickly become a Soul Master.

Before level 70, Gu Yue Na'er did not need to obtain Soul Rings. Whenever she cultivated to a certain level, Soul Rings would evolve within her body, just like Xiao Wu's.

After level 70, Gu Yue Na'er could choose to absorb other Soul Rings, or she could continue using the Soul Rings produced by the Silver Dragon King's true body.

"No, Na'er wants to be as powerful as Brother too..." An adorable smile appeared on Gu Yue Na'er's little face as she threw herself into Lin Fan's arms again.

This human boy truly is a little special. No wonder the Beast God and Bi Ji chose him... Zi Ji slowly walked toward the two of them. After waiting for a long time, she took Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er by the hand again and flew toward the outer perimeter of the forest.

Lin Fan was quite satisfied with absorbing a five-thousand-year Soul Ring as his first Soul Ring. It was impressive without being too outrageous. In any case, ordinary Soul Masters would not be able to tell how many thousand years his Soul Ring had.

If his first Soul Ring had been a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, that would have been far too high-profile. The moment he summoned his martial soul, it might draw Spirit Hall's attention. Then, if that woman Bibi Dong learned about him and raped him before killing him, that would be bad.

After Zi Ji brought Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er to the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, she set them down and said blandly, "All right, Lin Fan. Remember the Beast God's warning. If you fail to protect our master, you know what awaits you..."

With that, Zi Ji turned and flew back into the Star Dou Great Forest. Lin Fan hurriedly called out, "Thank you, Sister Zi Ji."

Gu Yue Na'er also called out in her childish voice, "Goodbye, Sister..."

"All right, let's go." Lin Fan turned and took Gu Yue Na'er by the hand, heading toward the city at the forest's edge. Connected to the outer perimeter of the forest was a city called Lein City. This city was not far from Heaven Dou City either. Many soldiers guarded the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest to prevent Spirit Beasts from escaping and invading the cities.

But Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er were only two children. The soldiers asked them a few simple questions before letting them through, and Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er entered Grace City without any trouble.

Lin Fan thought to himself that he and Gu Yue Na'er had only left the Star Dou Great Forest today, while Xiao Wu had left last night. That meant Xiao Wu should be here as well. After all, she was probably still afraid that Bibi Dong would hunt her down. Hiding in a human city, where there were more people, would make it easier to conceal herself.

It would be so interesting if Gu Yue Na'er met Xiao Wu. Lin Fan tightly held Gu Yue Na'er's hand and happily weaved through the crowd. He first planned to find the Martial Soul Sub-Hall and collect his Soul Master Badge. That should earn him one Gold Soul Coin, which should be enough for him and Gu Yue Na'er to live on for the next few days.

After asking a passerby, Lin Fan learned the direction of the Martial Soul Sub-Hall. As he walked, he suddenly grew nervous again. Bibi Dong and Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo aren't here too, are they? Medusa Queen isn't around now. If we run into Female Pope Bibi Dong, Gu Yue Na'er and I are both done for.
