"Fourth place is actually a white tiger?"
Inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
Dai Mubai's father abruptly rose to his feet, staring at the enormous white tiger in the sky in astonishment.
The Star Luo Imperial Family's Martial Soul was precisely a variant of the white tiger.
Successive Star Luo Emperors and the imperial family's direct descendants had all taken pride in possessing the White Tiger Martial Soul.
Yet now, a two-hundred-thousand-year white tiger Soul Beast had actually appeared on the sky screen!
There had never been any information about this Soul Beast in the imperial family's records throughout the generations!
If-if someone from the Star Luo Imperial Family obtained this white tiger's Soul Ring, just imagining the increase in their strength was utterly terrifying!
"When did white tiger Soul Beasts become this powerful?" one of the consecrators could not help asking.
As far as everyone knew, no matter how powerful a white tiger Soul Beast was,
it could not possibly rank above the million-year Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Let alone be ranked without distinction alongside the three ahead of it-in other words, practically tied for first place!
"Weren't white tiger Soul Beasts already on the verge of extinction long ago?"
Dai Weisi tilted his head back, his face filled with confusion.
As he looked at the white tiger Soul Beast on the sky screen, an inexplicable sense of closeness actually arose in his heart.
But that sense of closeness was soon replaced by all sorts of emotions.
If white tiger Soul Beasts were really this powerful, then what did their Star Luo Imperial Family's White Tiger Martial Soul amount to?
The ordinary White Tiger Martial Soul did not share its origin.
"Could they merely have the same name? They're not the same kind of Soul Beast?"
The ruler of the Star Luo Empire also said gravely,
"The sky screen said it too. The ordinary White Tiger Martial Soul does not share its origin."
"Our Star Luo Imperial Family's White Tiger Martial Soul may merely have inherited some similar kind of power."
"Our Martial Soul might even be a superior evolved variant!"
Only upon hearing this did everyone's expressions improve a little.
They could accept that the White Tiger Martial Soul was not the strongest.
But they could not accept such an enormous gulf between their own Martial Soul and a two-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.
Members of the imperial family still had a certain measure of pride!
On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Soul Masters who had been organizing their groups also looked up at the sky.
Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan
had already planned to hunt down the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.
But now, everyone hesitated.
"That white tiger's location doesn't seem too far from here."
"Besides, it's just one Soul Beast."
"The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python are in the same place. There might even be more powerful Soul Beasts around the Lake of Life."
The scales in everyone's hearts had already tipped toward the white tiger.
However they looked at it, this more ordinary white tiger seemed easier to bully!
The more decisive ones, such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, had already changed direction and set off toward the white tiger's location.
Two hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts did indeed tempt countless people.
But temptation was one thing; no one wanted to face two hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts at once.
This white tiger was different.
Although it already possessed two hundred thousand years of cultivation,
judging by the images on the sky screen, it was merely a little larger and had a somewhat more imposing presence.
It had not displayed the terrifying pressure of the million-year Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
"There must be something wrong with that white tiger Soul Beast's ranking."
"It's only two hundred thousand years old. How could it rank above a million-year Soul Beast?"
"I think even if it's stronger than an ordinary hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, it can't be that much stronger."
"Kill the white tiger first, then check the situation in the Star Dou Great Forest. That's the safest approach!"
Such thoughts swiftly took root among the crowd, and everyone waited for the Titled Douluo leading them to give the order.
"Let's go. We'll take a look at that white tiger first!"
As the first order rang out, more and more people began changing their positions.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong was hurrying toward the Star Dou Great Forest with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Looking at the white tiger on the sky screen, Bibi Dong also fell silent.
She likewise did not believe this white tiger could compare to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Even though the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had not yet become a god,
its power was absolutely not something an ordinary Titled Douluo could contend with.
The white tiger, however, was merely a two-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.
Even with a special bloodline, it could not possibly bridge such an enormous gap in age.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo patiently waited for Bibi Dong to make her decision.
Bibi Dong's fingers kept tapping against her scepter.
The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were at the Lake of Life.
If it were only those two, Bibi Dong was naturally confident she could kill them one by one.
But if a more powerful Soul Beast appeared, things would become troublesome.
"Ghost Douluo, go to the Lake of Life."
Bibi Dong soon made her decision.
"Don't engage the Titan Giant Ape or the Sky Azure Bull Python. Find a way to thoroughly investigate the area around the Lake of Life."
Ghost Douluo had not expected Bibi Dong to send him to the Star Dou Great Forest.
He hurriedly asked, "Your Holiness, what about you?"
"We're going to the Far North."
Bibi Dong looked at the white tiger on the sky screen, seemingly already regarding it as something in her pocket.
"We'll kill this white tiger first. At least that will guarantee us a Soul Ring and a Soul Bone over a hundred thousand years old."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo said nothing more.
Like Titled Douluo, hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts also varied in strength.
The greater their age, the stronger they naturally were.
But in an actual battle, a Soul Beast's attributes, surroundings, and numbers were equally important.
Although the white tiger possessed two hundred thousand years of cultivation, as long as Spirit Hall dispatched enough powerful experts, their chances of surrounding and killing it were not low.
"If the white tiger truly has the strength to rank in the top four, I'd like to see for myself just what qualifies it to rank above the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!"
Bibi Dong's current strength was unfathomable, and she had been fretting over having no chance to fully stretch her limbs.
Before long, Spirit Hall's group immediately split up.
Ghost Douluo's figure flashed, and he vanished from the group to join the Soul Masters in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Bibi Dong, meanwhile, led Chrysanthemum Douluo, Holy Dragon Douluo, and the remaining experts toward the Far North at full speed.
They had to reach White Tiger Canyon as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if the other factions arrived first, Spirit Hall would lose the initiative.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect went without saying; they had long since charged toward the white tiger.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reaction was much the same.
Yu Yuanzhen had originally been ready to lead the elders into the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Sky Azure Bull Python's water and lightning attributes held an extremely powerful attraction for Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Masters.
But the white tiger's appearance had made him change his mind.
"Clan leader, aren't the Sky Azure Bull Python's attributes a better match for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?"
An elder could not help reminding him.
Yu Yuanzhen said somewhat helplessly,
"Do you think we're confident of handling the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape at the same time?"
"And snatching food from the tiger's jaws amid the other factions' Titled Douluo on top of that?"
Hearing his words, the elder immediately shut his mouth.
Their greatest source of confidence on this expedition was Yu Yuanzhen, a Titled Douluo in the nineties.
At most, they could only handle a single hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast on its own.
In a chaotic battle involving two hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts and several major factions, they had no advantage whatsoever!
"Go to White Tiger Canyon first."
Yu Yuanzhen swept his hand, and everyone turned and ran.
"If the white tiger really isn't as powerful as we imagined, we'll seize the initiative and kill it."
"Even if the Soul Ring isn't suitable, a Soul Bone over a hundred thousand years old is still worth making a move for."
Behind them, quite a few experts from the Heaven Dou Empire's and Star Luo Empire's groups also hurried toward the Far North.
The Lake of Life, which everyone had originally regarded as their target, suddenly became much quieter.
Only Spirit Hall's Ghost Douluo was still swiftly making his way toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
