Five minutes later, Luo Zixi led Xiao Wu on a rampage through the mixed zone. With his cultivation as a Nine-Star Great Fighter, he could run rampant through this forest without restraint.
A thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider that had just woken up took one look at Luo Zixi, only for a palm to come crashing down on it. Its backdrop instantly turned into Heaven.
Unfortunately, it was not the one Tang San would obtain his third soul ring from a year later, because this unlucky thing did not drop a soul bone.
"Zixi, nicely done! Ugly, filthy things like that deserve to be slapped to death!"
Watching Luo Zixi slap the thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider to death, Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled with little stars. This was her man—powerful and invincible!
Yet Luo Zixi himself was rather stunned, because the defensive power of this thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider seemed no different from that of a Magical Beast that had just entered the second rank in the Battle Through the Heavens World.
It shattered with one slap.
That slap filled him with confidence. After all, the original story said that a thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider's defense could rival that of a ten-thousand-year soul beast! If ten-thousand-year soul beasts were really this fragile, then before his Dou Qi ran out, he could totally "not eat beef"!
"Mm, compared to Magical Beasts, the soul beasts of the Douluo World seem as fragile as paper."
Hearing Luo Zixi's words, Xiao Wu nodded very seriously. Even she found it hard to disagree with that.
After all, when Luo Zixi had still been a Fighter, he had been chased through the Magical Beast Mountain Range by a peak fourth-rank Magical Beast.
Fortunately, she had been able to directly possess Luo Zixi, completing Battle Through the Heavens' exclusive skill, Ghost Possession, and allowing them to turn the tables.
However, that fourth-rank Wood-Type Magic Core could not support Luo Zixi's cultivation for long. It had been drained dry in just a month.
"Zixi, turn left ahead, and you'll see that lake."
Seeing Luo Zixi getting closer and closer to that evil dragon's nest, Xiao Wu promptly reminded him.
It was a twenty-thousand-year dragon-type soul beast. Its defense was certainly far greater than that of a thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider. Though she believed Luo Zixi could defeat it, she did not want him getting injured because of it.
"Mm, don't worry. It's not like you haven't seen the Mysterious Middle-Rank Phantom Immortal Steps before. Even fourth-rank Magical Beasts have trouble detecting me with this technique, much less a beast that's only twenty thousand years old."
With a light step, Luo Zixi's figure gradually became illusory. As a Mysterious Middle-Rank movement Dou Technique, it was exceptionally rare even on the Dou Qi Continent.
Naturally, Xun'er, that little rich girl, had secretly slipped it to him. Otherwise, on that barren Northwest Continent, he would never have stumbled upon something this good, no matter how lucky he was.
Looking to the right from around the bend, he saw an enormous circular lake roughly a hundred meters in radius. As Luo Zixi approached, he discovered that even the air here carried a cold, gloomy aura.
Leaping onto the crown of a tall tree beside the deep lake and looking down, he found that the water turned dark green around three meters from the shore, while the center of the lake was an even darker, unfathomable black.
Green water meant depth; deep water meant an abyss. If this lake had existed in his previous life, it would probably have become a must-visit spot for countless diving enthusiasts, as well as a regular haunt for fishermen.
"This beast is naturally cunning and cruel, and it lives at the bottom of a hundred-meter-deep pool. If it isn't hungry, it'll probably be difficult to lure it out."
Looking at the abyss-like pool, Xiao Wu's Willow Eyebrows furrowed slightly.
It was clear that this problem was giving her quite a headache.
But what about Luo Zixi, Blue Star's outstanding young man? What trouble? Why bother with all that? Just beat the hell out of it!
"Wood Spirit Body, full power activation!"
A jade-green radiance enveloped Luo Zixi, and then he fiercely slammed both hands into the ground.
"Rumble, rumble!"
Almost instantly, the space at the bottom of the deep pool lit up with a dense green glow. Immediately afterward, vines as thick as an adult's thigh surged wildly across the lakebed.
Though he controlled so many vines, there was not the slightest trace of exhaustion on his face.
As the saying went, take from the trees, use it on the trees.
The power he was using now was merely the most basic ability of the Wood Spirit Body: infusing his will into these mindless trees and driving them to work for him. The remaining energy could even provide a wave of feedback to his own body.
It was great!
Although this energy could not be used for cultivation, it could rapidly repair his injured body and replenish the Soul Power within him.
As Luo Zixi "performed his ritual" on the shore—
His actions finally enraged the master of this lake: the twenty-thousand-year soul beast, the Evil Shadow Flood Dragon!
Deep within an underwater cave, thick green vines gradually slithered farther inside.
Crimson eyes abruptly flew open, and a violent tremor suddenly rose from underground.
Seeing this, Luo Zixi immediately shifted the Wood Spirit Body's power. Before long, an enormous fist roughly thirty meters in radius appeared at his side.
He might not have been especially strong, but his fighting style was absolutely the ancestor of underhanded tactics!
As the ground trembled harder and harder, Luo Zixi waved one hand.
As Luo Zixi's palm slowly descended, the giant beast floating in the air and shining with green radiance shot toward the lake like an arrow leaving the bowstring.
Just as the twenty-thousand-year Evil Shadow Flood Dragon poked its head above the surface to see which suicidal fool had come to provoke it, it saw no enemy—only an enormous palm blazing with green light smashing straight toward its dragon face.
"BOOM!!!!"
With no chance to react, the Evil Shadow Flood Dragon was sent back into the lake by a single punch.
The lake's surface now churned like a raging sea, spraying water into the forest. Having landed his blow, Luo Zixi immediately conceived a sinister follow-up combo!
As he condensed three vaguely humanoid figures within the darkness of the forest, Luo Zixi knew that ordinary people might not spot them at first glance, but the Evil Shadow Flood Dragon would definitely make them out well enough!
"ROAR!!!!!"
A deep-purple breath instantly corroded the green giant fist Luo Zixi had formed from wood. As an enraged dragon's roar rang out, all the soul beasts within a dozen or so miles frantically fled outward.
In the forest eight li away, two men and a woman noticed the situation as well. Watching the hundred-year and even thousand-year Soul Beasts around them flee for their lives without attacking, they knew that the owner of that dragon roar was undoubtedly the overlord of this region!
The three exchanged glances, each seeing the gravity in the others' eyes.
Bang!
A massive deep-purple dragon burst from the water with a thunderous crash. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it looked as though it wanted to tear apart everything that had disturbed it!
It quickly discovered the three "figures" within the forest.
It was highly intelligent, and at that moment, it mocked humanity's foolishness inwardly.
Of course, if it had been a human, it might not have noticed their hidden forms. But it was the Evil Shadow Flood Dragon! A noble dragon!
Roar!!!!
As another purple-black blast of breath shot toward the three "figures" in the forest, a teasing glint appeared in the Evil Shadow Flood Dragon's eyes.
Yet at that moment, an illusory figure appeared on its back. Immediately afterward, a palm glowing with dark green radiance lightly pressed against the giant dragon's neck.
