New Top Ten Ferocious Beasts Ranking and Encounter with Shui Bing'er

Dugu Lin stayed in the Blue Silver Forest for two days.

One was to familiarize himself with the operations of the Blue Silver King, and the second was to refine the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to boost his spiritual power.

By the way, he took Xiao Wu out of the Ruyi Treasure Sack, let her get some fresh air, and then had her eat something so she wouldn't starve to death from her constant unconsciousness.

Even if I starve to death, I won't eat your food!

I, Sister Wu, mean what I say!

Oh my~ So good~ This is the best carrot I have ever eaten!

On the third day, he knocked Xiao Wu out with poison again and put her back into the Ruyi Treasure Sack, transplanted the Blue Silver Emperor back into the flowerpot, and brought along the seeds of the Blue Silver King. Finally, he headed all the way north!

Dugu Lin flew alone in mid-air using a spirit bone skill, and the closer they got to the north, the colder the air became.

"Grandpa, the Icebound Forest is only a little over a thousand kilometers away from the Far North. Should we make a detour to visit the Far North on this trip and witness the strength of the Three Kings of the Far North?"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo cast a sideways glance at his grandson and said irritably, "If you want to go, go yourself. Your grandpa still wants to live a few more years."

Dugu Bo already knew the intelligence regarding the Three Kings of the Far North.

Dugu Lin had even told him about the rankings on the Top Ten Ferocious Beasts list!

First place: Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King!

Second place: the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!

Third place: Snow Empress, the Heavenly Snow Woman.

Fourth through tenth places respectively: Bi Ji, Myriad Demon King, Bear Lord, Ice Empress, Scarlet King, Zi Ji, and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!

Snow Empress, one of the Three Kings of the Far North, was the Heavenly Snow Woman ranked third among the ferocious beasts, and her strength was comparable to a demigod!

Dugu Bo was confident that in a few years he could go toe-to-toe with a ninety-eighth-rank Golden Crocodile Douluo, but a demigod-level Heavenly Snow Woman... he truly had no confidence.

"Haha~~"

Dugu Lin chuckled and said, "Right, Grandpa, I want to hunt the Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King myself this trip!"

"You yourself? Can you do it?"

"I should be able to... anyway, you'll have my back, Grandpa."

"Fine! Since you happen to have the Blue Silver King martial soul and the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor spirit bone, you don't need to worry about risking your life! It will just be a good opportunity for the Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King to teach you a thorough lesson!"

"Uh... do you actually want to watch me get beaten up by a spirit beast?"

Dugu Bo fell into deep thought, and after a long while, nodded and said, "Now that you mention it! Your grandpa has paved the way for you the entire journey, making things far too smooth! Your combat experience is also lacking! In the future, crises will be endless, the situation on the continent will be unclear, and even gods will descend! If you don't suffer a bit early on, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your future growth!"

"Uh... stop with those high-sounding words. You just want to watch me get beaten! Hehe~ I'm afraid I'll disappoint you! It's just a thirty-thousand-year Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King, I can handle it!"

Normally, the age limit for a fourth spirit ring was only five thousand years.

Yet Dugu Lin had the enhancements of countless Whale Rubber and Ice-Fire Body Tempering, so his current physical strength could reach over fifteen thousand years!

Coupled with the pressure-sharing of the detached Jade Phosphorous Serpent martial soul, his limit for absorbing a spirit ring could double: over thirty thousand years would be no problem at all.

"Don't be arrogant! And don't look down on any spirit beast! Furthermore, the Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King is the cream of the crop among snakes! Even if a Power Attack System Combat Spirit Saint encounters one, they aren't necessarily a match for it. At the very least, it takes two Combat Spirit Saints to be sure of success!"

Dugu Lin smiled and said, "Grandpa, let's make a bet! Let's bet on whether I can hunt a spirit ring on my own!"

"Having confidence is good, but don't be arrogant! So... what's the wager?"

Dugu Lin thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "Grandpa, if you lose, you have to go back and beat up Sister!"

Dugu Bo: "..."

"I'll beat you up first, you little brat!"

The journey for the grandfather and grandson was not lonely.

Heading north for over thirty-seven hundred kilometers, taking a full two days, they finally arrived at their destination: the Icebound Forest.

"Little Lin, come out and get some fresh air."

Landing on a mountain peak, Dugu Lin summoned the Jade Phosphorous Serpent.

"Hiss hiss~~"

As soon as the five-meter-long Jade Phosphorous Serpent emerged, it felt a cold wind blowing in its face and looked at Dugu Lin with dissatisfaction.

"What? Don't you like this kind of environment?"

"Hiss hiss~~"

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent expressed its discontent.

Seeing this, Dugu Lin grew pensive and muttered, "It seems your lethargy really is caused by the Ultimate Ice attribute! Commonly known as... hibernation!"

Dugu Bo looked at the Jade Phosphorous Serpent in deep thought, frowned, and said, "That's not right, Lin'er, shouldn't you and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent be immune to ice and fire? Why would Little Lin dislike the Icebound Forest? And what's this about hibernation?"

"What's so strange about that? Snakes are cold-blooded animals; the habit of hibernating when winter comes cannot be changed. This has nothing to do with being immune to ice and fire."

"Is that so? Alright."

Returning to the matter at hand, Dugu Lin said, "Grandpa, I suspect the reason Little Lin is lethargic is due to an imbalance of spirit power attributes within its body, which is snake hibernation!"

"An imbalance of spirit power attributes?"

"There are only two spirit power attributes within Little Lin, and the Ultimate Ice attribute among them is far too strong! The other, the poison attribute, cannot contend with the Ultimate Ice attribute, which led to an imbalance in spirit power attributes causing Little Lin to hibernate!"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo frowned and asked, "Since that's the case, Lin'er, why are you still hunting a Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King spirit ring for Little Lin?"

Dugu Lin shrugged and said, "Hibernation is just my guess. What if I guessed wrong? Maybe it's not because of hibernation after all?"

"There's some sense in that. Then, what if you guessed right? What are your plans for afterward?"

Dugu Lin smiled and said, "I'll use a thirty-thousand-year Heavenly Mountain Ice Serpent King as an experiment first. If my guess is correct, my plan for the next step is to find a snake-type spirit beast with both fire and poison attributes as my fifth spirit ring! Grandpa, do you remember that Hell Crimson Spirit Python of over eighty thousand years that you mentioned when we headed to the Ten Thousand Snake Valley? It would be extremely suitable as my spirit ring!"

"The Hell Crimson Spirit Python?"

Dugu Bo was startled, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Isn't the age of the Hell Crimson Spirit Python... a bit too high? With your physical fitness combined with Little Lin... five thousand years should be the limit!"

"Then I'll use it for my sixth spirit ring, isn't that just right?"

Dugu Bo nodded, glad his grandson wasn't just messing around.

"Screech~"

Just as the two of them were discussing what spirit beast to choose for the fifth spirit ring, the cry of a bird of prey echoed from about a mile away.

"Grandpa, let's go see what spirit beast that is."

"Alright! You take the lead, and Grandpa will watch your back."

Dugu Bo trailed far behind Dugu Lin and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, wanting to give his grandson a good workout.

Not long after, passing through a patch of coniferous forest, Dugu Lin saw a young girl in the distance fighting with an avian spirit beast, an Ice Jade Falcon.

Dugu Lin said in surprise, "It's actually an Ice Phoenix martial soul! Could it be Shui Bing'er? My little bride?"
