Lin Fan naturally knew nothing of Di Tian and Bi Ji's conversation. By this time, 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 very young. Were they really at ease letting him protect Gu Yue Na'er?

But 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 III, Bi Ji was also a very kind Spirit Beast. She probably had no ulterior motives, and at the very least, she certainly would not want to destroy humanity. As for what she had said, it was likely 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 gripping her with one hand while the other clung around her leg, his eyes still looking at her with longing.

This little brat... forget it, he is only a child... Zi Ji looked at Lin Fan, her gaze softening again. After all, the Lord will be entrusted to this boy in the future. I should treat him a little better. There is that mysterious powerful human woman behind him. Perhaps he comes from some great clan 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 taken human form; she had merely sealed her own 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 Di Tian, the Beast God, 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 rush, child. Once we reach the outer region 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 Soul Ring. I want a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. Big 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 are human. Only our Lord, who cultivates with her true body, is not restricted by 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.

Of course, Zi Ji would not hunt Spirit Beasts herself. The moment she descended, many Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts sensed the dragon aura on her body and hid in terror.

Zi Ji glanced around and let out a dragon roar. Immediately, several hundred Spirit Beasts gathered around them, kneeling respectfully all around.

Zi Ji selected a Ten Thousand Year lightning-attribute Spirit Beast whose lifespan was nearly at its limit, a Lightning Demon Spider. With a light command, she had this ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast sacrifice its Soul Ring of its own accord and willingly let Lin Fan absorb it.

Lin Fan released 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 bear 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 strenuous...

Lin Fan's body had already taken an Enhancement Pill. Its effect was to push the body's strength to its limit, lasting for three days. If not for the Enhancement Pill, Lin Fan would have been unable to endure it 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 bringing him back to clarity.

Lin Fan immediately stopped absorbing it. Although he felt a little disappointed, he had already learned the process of absorbing a Soul Ring. He hurriedly smiled at Zi Ji and said, "Big Sister, I was wrong. My first Soul Ring really cannot absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, but I can absorb a Thousand Year Soul Ring. Big Sister, help me find a Spirit Beast around three thousand years old."

That was right. Lin Fan had already tried absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, so he was very confident. Although his first Soul Ring could not be a Ten Thousand Year one, it could definitely be a Thousand Year one. 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 third Soul Ring would definitely be able to absorb a Soul Ring over ten thousand years old.

"Fine, try as much as you like." A charming smile appeared on young Zi Ji's lips. She was not worried about whether Lin Fan lived or died. She had not wanted to entrust Gu Yue Na'er to Lin Fan in the first place. If Lin Fan died from the backlash of absorbing a Soul Ring, she could simply take Gu Yue Na'er back.

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

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

Lin Fan's Soul Power Level successfully rose to level 11, and he gained his first Soul Skill, Dragon Flame Consecutive Slash.

This was the Soul Skill gained by attaching the 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 ignited upon the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, and several streams 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 streams of purple sword energy, carrying purple flames, struck the tree five times in succession. In less than a few seconds, the tree, so thick that several people would have to link arms to encircle it, had shattered into pieces, completely collapsed, and burst into flames.

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction and put away the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. Zi Ji also stared at him in astonishment. After all, Lin Fan was only level 10 now, yet only Battle Soul Masters of the assault type at Soul Elder rank or above could achieve such an attack.

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

At this time, Gu Yue Na'er happily ran to Lin Fan's side and said in a cheerful, innocent voice, "Brother Xiao Fan is amazing! What kind of 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 do not need to learn it. I will 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 anymore. 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.

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

"But Na'er wants to be as amazing as Brother..." 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 somewhat special. No wonder the Beast God and Sister Bi Ji chose him... Zi Ji slowly walked toward the two of them. After waiting for a long while, she once again took Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er by the hand and flew toward the outer region of the forest.

Lin Fan was still very satisfied with having absorbed a three-thousand-year Soul Ring as his first Soul Ring. It was impressive without being too outrageous. In any case, ordinary Soul Masters could not tell how many thousand years his Soul Ring had.

If his first Soul Ring had been a Ten Thousand Year one, that would have been far too high-profile. The moment he released his Martial Soul, it might attract Spirit Hall's attention. If that woman Bibi Dong found out and raped him before killing him, that would be bad.

After Zi Ji sent Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, she set them down and said flatly, "All right, Lin Fan. Remember the Beast God's warning. If you fail to protect the Lord, you know what will happen to you..."

After saying that, Zi Ji turned and flew 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 innocent voice, "Goodbye, Big Sister..."

"All right, let's go." Lin Fan turned and took Gu Yue Na'er's hand, walking toward the city outside the forest. Connected to this section of the forest's outskirts was a city called Lein City. This city was not far from Heaven Dou City. Many soldiers guarded the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest to prevent Spirit Beasts from escaping and invading the city.

But Lin Fan and Gu Yue Na'er were only two children. After asking them a few simple questions, the soldiers let them in. 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 also be here. 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 instead make it easier to conceal herself.

Gu Yue Na'er meeting Xiao Wu would be far too interesting. 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 claim a Soul Master Badge. That should earn him one Gold Soul Coin, which should temporarily 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 while holding Gu Yue Na'er's little hand, he suddenly grew nervous again.

Bibi Dong and Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo had not chased them here too, had they? Medusa Queen was no longer around. If they ran into Female Pope Bibi Dong, both he and Gu Yue Na'er would be finished.
