Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 163: The Center of the Forest, the Lake of Life

There are many towering trees in the forest, and the night comes earlier here than outside.

The sun was still hanging on the top of the mountain, but the forest was already getting dark.

"Based on what you've described, the reason you feel your body is already saturated with soul power, yet haven't experienced any breakthroughs, is because your physical fitness is inferior to your mental strength."

"There may be some body-building herbs or techniques on the continent that you could try... You seem to really want to awaken again~"

Kong was still explaining to Guimei, but blue spots of light appeared in his sight, and finally gathered into a familiar blue sign standing on Guimei's head.

Then he suddenly changed the subject and sighed inexplicably.

"Please grant me your blessing, sir!"

The ghost bowed sincerely again.

As a soul master, he is extremely determined to become stronger, otherwise he would not have been able to cultivate to the level of Titled Douluo.

Now hearing this gentleman say that he can still break free from the shackles, my heart is like a raging storm. My determination to become stronger has never been stronger than it is now!
Sora nodded slightly, but said nothing. He looked at the small blue badge above his head. "Commission to come again ×10086..."

I had taken them around everywhere before but hadn't received any commissions. Now, another one has been delivered directly to my door, and it's a warm commission that appears right in front of me.

He didn't even need to ask; he could guess what the purpose of this commission was.

"Forget it, I'll give this to you. After absorbing it, you should be able to break through."

Meeting is fate, so Kong simply condensed a ball of green light and handed it to the ghost.

"This is……"

"Such pure and powerful energy!"

Guimei was a little hesitant to stretch out his hand, while Yueguan looked at the ball of light with sigh.

"It can enhance your martial spirit and various physical qualities. As for whether it can help you complete your second awakening, I'm not sure."

"...Thank you, sir, but I can't accept this."

Guimei forcibly controlled his hand that was about to reach out, and he felt his throat was a little dry.

At their level, they know clearly what this energy represents.

It would be a lie to say that I am not tempted by such a magical object that can enhance and strengthen my martial soul and physical fitness, but precisely because it is so precious, I dare not accept it.

"……What's wrong?"

The corner of Kong's eye twitched. This was the first time he met someone who didn't want to be promoted.

I didn't expect that this ghost, who wanted to become stronger so much, would say words of rejection when faced with something that was within his reach.

"This divine object is so valuable. I don't have anything worthwhile to exchange with you, my Lord..."

The ghost's voice was already hoarse, and now it sounded like it was coming from a broken bellows, which was very creepy.

"I don't want anything from you. Since we've met, it's fate. Just accept it with peace of mind."

Kong smiled lightly when he heard this. The image of the ghost was very vague in his memory, and its current appearance was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"This... I still can't have it."

The ghost was afraid that he could not resist the temptation, so he simply lowered his head and did not look at the ball of light in his hand.

"Sir, is there anything you need help with? We two brothers will definitely... um, if you can't do it, I'm afraid we can't..."

Seeing this, Yue Guan was anxious to speak, but halfway through he realized that he and Guimei seemed to be unable to help this adult, so he had to shut up awkwardly.

"No, please do me a favor, and this will be my thank you gift."

After hearing Yue Guan's words, Kong had an idea.

"My lord, what is it?"

Hearing this, Gui Mei looked up, his eyes flashing with urgency. "I haven't thought about it yet, but I'm definitely not asking you to do anything that breaks the rules. Just absorb it first, and I'll ask you for help later if I think of anything."

Kong didn't wait for the ghost to speak, he pushed forward directly, and the ball of light followed the trajectory and smashed into the ghost's body.

During the Tian Dou, there were already precedents with She Long and Ci Xue, two Titled Douluo, so after the light ball merged into the ghost's body,
He threw out a barrier to cover Yu Keke and Zhu Zhuqing who was still absorbing the soul ring, so as to prevent the violent soul power from affecting them.

Yue Guan saw that the ghost's body had begun to absorb the powerful energy. He opened his mouth, but ultimately did not speak. Instead, he looked worriedly at the ghost whose soul power was gradually exploding.

Although I had previously learned that this gentleman possessed magical items that could help others strengthen their martial spirits, now that I had seen with my own eyes that he was using it on his own brother, I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried.

But according to the rumors spread by this adult, I think the old ghost will definitely succeed...

He kept comforting himself in his heart, while also hoping that the old ghost could achieve his wish.

On the other side, Fire Meow jumped left and right, stopping from time to time to sense something, and finally followed the direction and went deeper into the middle of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Rumble~.

A originally calm and quiet lake in the middle of the forest began to ripple with a series of rumbling sounds.

A huge monkey figure ran to the edge of the lake and stopped, and the vibration of the lake surface also stopped.

"Brother, there's news from Sister Xiao Wu!"

I saw the figure opening his bloody mouth and screaming into the lake.

"Brother, come out quickly!"

Seeing that there was no movement in the lake, the figure had no choice but to shout again.

"Wow~"

As the monkey figure continued to urge, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake again.

The ripples spread from the center of the lake to the surrounding areas, and then the waves became larger and larger until a huge bull head slowly rose from the center of the lake.

"Stop howling. What's the news about Sister Xiao Wu?"

Two huge jets of water spurted out of the bull's nostrils, which were like black holes and hit the lake surface. The bull's mouth moved up and down, and then it spoke in human language.

"I just sensed Sister Xiao Wu's presence in another direction."

The giant ape said in surprise.

"Is it true this time? Could it be another modern bloodline close to Sister Xiao Wu?"

The lantern-like eyes on the bull's head blinked and continued to confirm.

"This time it's real! Although I didn't see Sister Xiao Wu when I arrived, I found the mark she left behind!"

The giant ape reached out to scoop up some water from the lake and drank it in big gulps, then continued:
"Sister Xiao Wu left a message and a map on the mark, asking us to go to a place on the map, but I don't recognize this place."

As he spoke, the giant ape stretched out his huge palm, in which a small stone lay quietly.

Seeing this, Niutou moved towards the lake, causing waves.

"Chirp!"

At this moment, a sharp roar of a beast was heard, and then a lightning-like figure rushed to the front of the giant ape, looking back with lingering fear.

"How dare you come here!"

The giant ape roared, grabbed the soul beast in front of it with its huge palm, lifted it high, and questioned angrily.

"Hmm? That's strange. This aura is somewhat familiar, but it shouldn't be this strong..."

But the Bull Head stared into the forest with his lantern-like eyes, where a breath of the Beast King was rushing towards them.
