Second Soul Core, Bibi Dong Breaks Through Level Eighty

Golden Crocodile Douluo glanced at Bibi Dong and Ling Jing in her arms, then gave Myriad Demon King a deep look.

He admitted defeat in today's matter.

But this matter... would absolutely not end here!

Golden Crocodile Douluo did not leave behind any threats. He simply turned and prepared to take Bibi Dong and Ling Jing away.

Meanwhile, Ling Jing was still considering whether he should use his third contract opportunity now—if he could capture Ah Yin, then in the future, he could absorb her Soul Ring and Soul Bone. Naturally, he would not need to contract Ah Yin merely for the Blue Silver Emperor's vigorous life force.

But now, Myriad Demon King's sudden appearance and Ah Rou taking him hostage had caused his plan to capture Ah Yin to fail.

So... should he form the contract or not?

Or... should he give up on contracting Ah Yin and choose Ah Rou or Xiao Wu instead, obtaining the abilities of Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body?

Whether he contracted Ah Yin or a Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit, either choice could greatly improve his ability to stay alive. By comparison, the abilities granted by Ah Rou and Xiao Wu's contracts were even more effective for survival.

Moreover, copying the Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit martial soul would also help his combat strength to a certain extent. As for the Blue Silver Emperor... Tang Wulin had practically spent his entire life proving that this martial soul was truly underwhelming.

Even if the Blue Silver Emperor could provide the Blue Silver Domain.

After a storm of thoughts in his mind, Ling Jing ultimately chose Xiao Wu as his contract target.

In an instant, the Soul Contract was formed.

Ling Jing could clearly see Xiao Wu's Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit body tremble almost imperceptibly. A faint trace of confusion also rose in her red eyes.

"There are Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest that can contend with you, Second Brother?"

Upon hearing the information Golden Crocodile Douluo had brought back, Azure Luan Douluo's face visibly showed shock. Mighty Lion Douluo and Light Plume Douluo, standing nearby, wore much the same expressions.

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Golden Crocodile Douluo quickly returned to the Icefire Yin Yang Well with Ling Jing and Bibi Dong.

In order to ensure that the Immortal Herbs remained at their most effective, Yue Guan had not rashly picked them. Only after all the Worship Hall's elders had arrived did he pluck the Immortal Herbs suited to each of them and hand them over for consumption.

At this time, Azure Luan Douluo and the others had just finished absorbing and refining the medicinal effects of the Immortal Herbs.

Among all the elders who had absorbed Immortal Herbs, Azure Luan Douluo had improved the most. His Soul Power Level had been stalled at level ninety-seven for a very long time. Only after consuming the Immortal Herb did he finally gain further insight into his martial soul, allowing his Soul Power to advance to level ninety-eight.

Although Mighty Lion Douluo had not raised his Soul Power to level ninety-eight, he was only a step away from that barrier and could enter the ranks of level ninety-eight at any time.

Light Plume Douluo, meanwhile, had raised his Soul Power to level ninety-seven.

In addition, the brothers Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, who had already reached level ninety-five, had successfully broken through to level ninety-six, officially becoming the Sixth and Seventh Elders of the Worship Hall.

As for Qian Daoliu, after consuming that Immortal Herb, he had remained in seclusion, attempting to create the Soul Core Method Ling Jing had proposed.

It could be said that the strength of the entire Worship Hall had improved tremendously.

"That's right."

Golden Crocodile Douluo took a deep breath and swept his gaze toward Ling Jing, who was cultivating beside the Icefire Yin Yang Well using the abundant heaven and earth energy. "Aside from that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, which could contend with me somewhat and delay my movements, there were also four other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, along with one Soul Beast close to breaking through to the hundred-thousand-year level."

"The Sky Azure Bull Python, the Soft-Boned Charming Rabbit, the Titan Giant Ape, and that transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year plant Soul Beast."

"If I had not been somewhat overconfident, Little Jing... Little Jing would not have been captured by one of those Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Fortunately, that stronger Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast did not entangle itself with me for long, allowing me to bring Little Jing and Dong'er back safely."

"There is no need to blame yourself excessively."

A gentle voice suddenly sounded behind the elders, causing them all to turn around.

Seeing Qian Daoliu approaching, they softly called out, "Big Brother."

"Big Brother, how is the Soul Core Method progressing?"

"With the help of that Immortal Herb, condensing a Soul Core is not difficult for me. And this method can indeed be promoted for widespread use. But... only experts at the level of a Titled Douluo can attempt to condense a Soul Core."

Qian Daoliu paused slightly before continuing, "The truly difficult part is condensing a second Soul Core."

"Condensing a second Soul Core?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention temporarily shifted away from the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Shock appeared on their faces, and even Ling Jing, who had been cultivating, opened his eyes in surprise.

He had not told Qian Daoliu the method for condensing a second Soul Core, yet Qian Daoliu had begun attempting it on his own.

He truly deserved to be one of the three Peerless Douluo from the first part of Douluo Continent!

"That's right. A Titled Douluo's physical constitution and total Soul Power are already at their limit with one Soul Core. But I can sense that one Soul Core may not be my limit. It is simply that, for now, I have no good idea how to condense a second Soul Core."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly before turning his gaze toward Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Encountering a Soul Beast with such cultivation, along with several other Soul Beasts, was beyond expectations. You need not blame yourself so much. But... the appearance of Soul Beasts with such terrifying cultivation in the Star Dou Great Forest is indeed a major matter."

"Big Brother, more importantly... I feel that there may not be only one Soul Beast with such cultivation."

At those words, a sharp glint instantly flashed through Qian Daoliu's eyes.

But the glint quickly disappeared, and a faint smile returned to Qian Daoliu's face. "It seems that we old fellows will have to make another trip to the Star Dou Great Forest together."

"On this trip, we must at least determine exactly how many Soul Beasts with such terrifying cultivation are in the Star Dou Great Forest. If we can capture that transformed Soul Beast along the way, that would naturally be even better."

As his words fell, the elders exchanged glances and saw the eagerness and anticipation in one another's eyes.

So many years had passed that these old bones of theirs were nearly rusting. Now that their cultivation had improved, it was only natural that they stretch themselves a little!

Just then, Bibi Dong, who was also cultivating in the open space beside the Icefire Yin Yang Well like Ling Jing, abruptly opened her eyes. A purple gleam flashed deep within them, and her aura rose considerably once more!

Seeing this, surprise flashed through Qian Daoliu's eyes, but even more than that, there was admiration.
