Flowing Shadow Azure Wolf

But at the sound of Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice, Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly.

Although this was only their second meeting, Bibi Dong still disliked him from the bottom of her heart.

The feeling of having her beloved toy snatched away was gone, but that hatred had not changed in the slightest.

Bibi Dong subconsciously glanced at Ling Jing beside her. Only when she saw no emotional fluctuation on his face did she press her lips together.

Flender and Liu Erlong exchanged glances.

Liu Erlong had not expected this at all, while Flender's thoughts were much darker. He did not know whether refusing would anger the other party, but if he agreed... he did not feel much belonging or recognition toward Spirit Hall.

After hesitating for a moment, Flender still forced himself to speak. "Thank you..."

Before Flender could finish, Ling Jing raised a brow and said with a faint smile, "I remember you two. Back in Heaven Dou Imperial City, you were the two people Yu Xiaogang asked for help, right?"

"Your relationship with Yu Xiaogang seems... quite good?"

As soon as those words fell, Flender's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly denied it. "Your Highness the Holy Son misunderstands. We actually are not familiar with Yu Xiaogang. Before this, we had no idea he was that kind of person."

"We had already drawn a clear line between ourselves and someone so deceitful, ignorant, and arrogantly self-important."

"Oh... is that so?"

Ling Jing nodded, his voice calm. "I heard you mention that Yu Xiaogang's father has arrived in Heaven Dou Imperial City?"

"Replying to Your Highness the Holy Son, His Eminence Thunderclap has indeed arrived in Heaven Dou Imperial City. As for any further information... minor figures like us do not know."

Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned slightly, seeming to realize that Ling Jing did not want these two to join Spirit Hall. Though he did not know why, Golden Crocodile Douluo did not ask. He merely said softly, "Little Jing, Dong'er, let's go."

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would not dare make any moves. Even if they did, Xunji would promptly send someone to inform us."

With that, Golden Crocodile Douluo did not spare Flender and Liu Erlong another glance. He led Ling Jing and Bibi Dong toward the edge of Sunset Forest.

There was one thing Golden Crocodile Douluo had gotten right.

Ling Jing truly did not want those two to enter Spirit Hall—he had completely lost interest in forming a contract with Liu Erlong. In Ling Jing's eyes, Liu Erlong no longer held much value.

As for conquering Liu Erlong and becoming some sort of dragon rider... Ling Jing was not particularly interested in that either.

Spirit Hall was bound to unify the entire continent in the future, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would inevitably become Spirit Hall's enemy. Although Liu Erlong was filled with resentment toward the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, when that time came, she would still become no small trouble.

Without a Soul Contract, Ling Jing could not be bothered to spend more time on Liu Erlong.

Bibi Dong naturally understood why Ling Jing had interrupted Flender. A trace of delight appeared in her beautiful eyes, and her grip on Ling Jing's hand tightened slightly.

As for Flender and Liu Erlong, they could not help but let out long breaths after Ling Jing's group had gone far away.

"Luckily, this Titled Douluo did not make things difficult for us or force us to join Spirit Hall. With my temperament, if I really joined Spirit Hall, I would have plenty of headaches ahead."

Flender could not help sighing, but Liu Erlong beside him remained silent, her mind occupied by unknown thoughts.

"Erlong? Don't tell me you want to join Spirit Hall?"

Hearing Flender's voice, Liu Erlong turned around and forced a faint smile. "How could that be? I don't want to join Spirit Hall and be restricted."

Star Dou Great Forest, mixed zone.

Ever since obtaining his second Soul Ring and gaining a second soul skill capable of creating clones, Qian Daoliu and Azure Luan Douluo had conducted more in-depth research—the cloning-type soul skill was sufficient, so the next Soul Ring added to the Mirror Beast Emperor Martial Soul would preferably possess control attributes.

That way, the original Mirror Beast Emperor Martial Soul could provide control while better coordinating with the other Martial Souls copied by it.

And beyond copying, the Mirror Beast Emperor could also develop in the direction of spiritual power.

Thus, after extensive research, Qian Daoliu finally determined the direction of Ling Jing's Soul Rings.

Their target for this trip was therefore spiritual-attribute soul beasts, followed by soul beasts capable of providing control-type soul skills.

Ling Jing naturally had no objections to this.

After all, this conclusion had been reached only after Qian Daoliu and Azure Luan Douluo pored over countless books and even personally captured a Mirror Beast in Icebound Forest for careful study. They were surely far more reliable than Grandpa Wang Xiaogang.

Spiritual-attribute soul beasts had always been rare, but Star Dou Great Forest was the largest gathering place for soul beasts aside from the sea. As long as they searched carefully, it would not be difficult to find a suitable soul beast for him.

Not long after entering Star Dou Great Forest, Ling Jing spotted several soul beasts with spiritual attributes.

However, those soul beasts were either too weak to serve as Soul Rings or had weak spiritual attributes, making it difficult for them to provide powerful soul skills.

Only after they ventured deeper did Golden Crocodile Douluo let out a soft sound of surprise, a look of astonishment appearing on his face.

On a rocky outcrop not far away stood a pack of rare soul beasts—Flowing Shadow Azure Wolves.

A sharp glint flashed through Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes. He said quietly, "Flowing Shadow Azure Wolves. These things are not often seen. The last time I encountered them was fifty years ago."

Following Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, Ling Jing and Bibi Dong turned their gazes toward the pack of Flowing Shadow Azure Wolves.

The Flowing Shadow Azure Wolves were not particularly large, much slimmer than ordinary wolf-type soul beasts. Their limbs were long and slender, while their fur gleamed with a metallic sheen beneath the sunlight. Most striking were their eyes, a nearly transparent pale blue, as though they had no pupils at all—only an ethereal light flowing within.

Among those Flowing Shadow Azure Wolves, only the leading wolf king was barely as large as other wolf-type soul beasts.

"The leader should be the Flowing Shadow Azure Wolf King, with a cultivation of around thirty thousand years. But among this pack, we should be able to find Flowing Shadow Azure Wolves suitable for Little Jing's cultivation limit. Three or four of them have cultivations between six and eight thousand years."

Bibi Dong's eyes shifted slightly as she spoke softly. At the same time, records concerning the Flowing Shadow Azure Wolves surfaced in Ling Jing's mind.

Although Flowing Shadow Azure Wolves were wolf-type soul beasts, they were actually spiritual-attribute soul beasts. Their spiritual power was extremely strong, and they were best at hunting prey with it, but their physical bodies were very fragile.

In that case... it seemed he could try hunting this soul beast himself.

At that thought, eager anticipation immediately appeared in Ling Jing's eyes.
