Tyrannosaurus, a branch of the Tyrannosaurus Rex [recommendation votes and continued reading, dear readers

"Whew-"

After fully absorbing the Light Blade Dragon's soul ring, Bei Bei let out a long breath of turbid air. His whole body felt much more relaxed.

"What's the soul skill the Light Blade Dragon gave you like?"

Mu Changqing leaned his face close, his gaze questioning.

"The soul skill the Light Blade Dragon gave me is called Radiant Dragon Claw. It increases my attack attributes by sixty percent and weakens other people's defense by sixty percent."

"Big brother, I can undergo dragon transformation now, too."

Bei Bei pushed himself up with both hands, stood, and summoned his martial soul, the Holy Dragon of Light.

His left arm grew several times larger. Platinum dragon scales instantly covered the entire arm, forming a dazzling white dragon arm with golden claws.

"Bei Bei! You can undergo dragon transformation with just one ring. You're stronger than your great-great-grandfather was back then!"

Xuan Zi emerged from the bushes nearby, a chicken drumstick in hand, and stroked his filthy beard.

Mu En's martial soul was also the Holy Dragon of Light, but he had only been able to undergo dragon transformation with two rings. Bei Bei could already do it with one, showing that his Holy Dragon of Light was stronger.

"Bei Bei, attack me with your soul skill. Let me see its power!"

With his hands clasped behind his back, Xuan Zi walked into a clearing.

The soul skill sounded good, but its power needed testing. Xuan Zi wanted to experience it himself.

"First soul skill, Radiant Dragon Claw!"

A platinum mass of energy condensed within Bei Bei's dragon claw. He raised the claw and struck out, sending the energy flying.

A platinum dragon claw flew straight at Xuan Zi, shining with brilliant white light in midair.

Xuan Zi stood to the side, letting Bei Bei's Radiant Dragon Claw strike his body. The Radiant Dragon Claw vanished the instant it hit him.

"Bei Bei, your first soul skill rivals an ordinary Soul Grandmaster's second soul skill!"

Feeling Bei Bei's attack penetrate his body, Xuan Zi gave it high praise.

Bei Bei withdrew his martial soul. Mu Changqing walked over to the Light Blade Dragon's corpse and kicked it a few times to see whether it had dropped a soul bone.

Seeing that no soul bone had dropped, Mu Changqing put the corpse into his storage soul tool. His storage soul tool had a full hundred cubic meters of space.

Getting a soul bone from a hundred-year soul beast was no less unlikely than winning the lottery.

"Let's go. We'll look in the mixed zone for any traces of the Titan Giant Ape Clan."

As he spoke, Xuan Zi grabbed their clothes, lifted them like little chicks, and swiftly flew deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

By a stream in the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, a campfire flickered.

An old man and two boys sat around the campfire roasting meat. The Light Blade Dragon's meat sizzled with dripping fat on the rack, its fragrance drifting through the air.

Mu Changqing and the other two had found no trace of any Titan Giant Apes in the mixed zone. They were hungry and tired.

They simply set up a campfire beside the stream to roast meat, putting the Light Blade Dragon's corpse to use.

"Changqing, if we can't find a Titan Giant Ape, we'll have to look for a Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear!"

Xuan Zi picked up a skewer of roasted meat and ate until his mouth glistened with grease.

"Sure!"

Mu Changqing handed the freshly roasted skewer in his hand to Bei Bei. Wiping his lips, Bei Bei took it from him.

Ever since a Titan Giant Ape from the Titan Giant Ape Clan had become a god with Tang San ten thousand years ago, Titan Giant Apes had rarely been seen even in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Encountering the Titan Giant Ape Clan took good luck. Darkgold Terrorclaw Bears appeared far more frequently than Titan Giant Apes.

"Roar-"

Just then, a roar rang out through the surrounding Star Dou Great Forest, sending beasts fleeing and birds taking flight throughout the woods.

The sudden roar frightened Mu Changqing into trembling all over, and he nearly lost his grip on his meat skewer.

Mu Changqing noticed two skewers lying on the ground, the roasted meat still steaming. Bei Bei had lost his grip at the roar and dropped them.

"Come on, I'll take you to watch a great battle!"

Xuan Zi quickly rose, grabbed Mu Changqing's and Bei Bei's clothes, and shot toward the roar.

Dragged along by Xuan Zi, the two looked as though they had nothing left to live for. They were already used to being dragged around by him. With the way Xuan Zi pulled, no amount of clothing would suffice.

Before long, Xuan Zi set Mu Changqing and Bei Bei down on a relatively high, safe slope. Mu Changqing saw two enormous beasts fighting in the forest not far away.

One was a Tyrannosaurus covered in black-gold dragon scales, and the other was an enormous bear covered in brown fur. A deep, bloody wound marked the bear's back, evidently inflicted by the Tyrannosaurus.

The enormous bear stubbornly guarded the cave entrance, as though some treasure inside was attracting the Tyrannosaurus.

"It's actually a Tyrannosaurus!"

The usually languid Xuan Zi suddenly grew excited, as though he had spotted some rare treasure.

"Elder Xuan, what's the background of this Tyrannosaurus?"

"This Tyrannosaurus is a branch of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the king of ancient lesser dragons. It carries a trace of Golden Dragon blood."

"I've seen this kind of soul beast in ancient texts. They're even rarer than Titan Giant Apes!"

"A thousand-year soul beast of this kind can defeat a ten-thousand-year soul beast!"

"Mu Changqing! You've really stumbled into dogshit luck! This Tyrannosaurus is around two thousand years old, just right for your first soul ring."

Elder Xuan rapidly stroked his beard and lightly patted Mu Changqing's back.

"There seems to be something inside the cave attracting the Tyrannosaurus, and this bear is protecting it with its life!"

Bei Bei's young voice rang out as he pointed his little finger at the cave behind the Mighty Vajra Bear.

"Roar-"

Xuan Zi suddenly flashed over and sat on the Tyrannosaurus. Furious at the human who had abruptly appeared, the Tyrannosaurus raised its head and thrashed, trying to drive him off.

The Mighty Vajra Bear stood dumbfounded at the sight. They had been fighting to the death, and now...

"What are you roaring for!"

Nine soul rings flashed beneath Xuan Zi's feet-yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red. He stomped hard, pressing the Tyrannosaurus's entire head into the ground. Terrified by Xuan Zi's Titled Douluo pressure, it passed out.

The Mighty Vajra Bear trembled all over as well. It suddenly knelt, clutching its head tightly as though it had encountered a savage beast.

At that moment, Bei Bei and Mu Changqing, neither afraid of death, came beneath the Tyrannosaurus and gave it a few kicks.

"Huh!"

Xuan Zi suddenly exclaimed, and the drumstick in his hand fell onto the Tyrannosaurus's enormous body.

Grabbing Bei Bei's and Mu Changqing's clothes, Xuan Zi flew swiftly into the cave. The two were used to it, left disheveled in the wind.

"Big bear, stay right here!"

"Dare to run, and I'll eat your paws!"

Xuan Zi's warning frightened the Mighty Vajra Bear into trembling all over and letting out several pained shrieks, while the Tyrannosaurus was trapped in place by his soul skill.

The moment the three crossed the cave entrance, Mu Changqing felt the scorching heat within. Xuan Zi used his soul power to protect the two boys.

"No wonder this damned dragon was fighting the Mighty Vajra Bear!"

"So this medicinal herb was growing here!"

The three reached the depths of the cave, where the space suddenly opened up. It was vast, with a medicinal herb growing in the middle.
