Douluo: Dominating Douluo begins with summoning Kong Deming

Chapter 165, The Choice of the Sixth Soul Ring, The Legendary Behemoth Clan

The entire Patching Heaven Pavilion is currently in a state of extreme busyness.

In just a few days, the construction of the Butian Pavilion Chamber of Commerce, located in the center of Tiandou City, had already begun in full swing.

In fact, this is inseparable from the strong support of the Heavenly Dou royal family.

"Oh, isn't this Senior Lou Gao? What a rare guest, a truly rare guest!"

As soon as Ye Ling returned to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, he saw someone he had never expected.

Lou Gao, one of the greatest craftsmen of our time.

It's all thanks to him for transporting metal to Gengjin City over the years, which has helped Butian Pavilion train outstanding blacksmiths.

"Hmph, hum!"

Lou Gao rolled his eyes, giving off a rather sarcastic and unsettling look.

"Young Master has been very busy these past few years, and has never even been to Gengjin City once."

"If it weren't for Aotian and Vina wanting to return to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, I probably wouldn't have been able to come and visit my own sect's headquarters!"

Lou Gao's words clearly contained some resentment.

As a master craftsman, he would be a respected guest in any faction.

Ironically, this was the first time he had come to the headquarters of the Butian Pavilion, which was recruiting his forces.

"Senior Lou Gao, you're too kind. I've just been too busy."

Ye Ling gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"It's just in time for Senior Lou Gao to arrive. From now on, the metal procurement between the Blacksmith Association and Butian Pavilion will be handled by my newly established Chamber of Commerce."

"Well, actually, I've now completely handed over the management of the Blacksmiths' Association to my disciple, Silong."

Lou Gao nodded.

"I've come to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion intending to stay for an extended period, and also to learn the craft of soul-guided device manufacturing from Old Kong,"

"I see. Senior Lou Gao is a member of my Butian Pavilion, so why would you stay here for a long time? I will have someone arrange accommodation for you."

Lou Gao may have a somewhat eccentric personality, but he is quite capable.

Ye Ling also greatly admired such a person.

"Speaking of which, Senior Lou Gao is also very knowledgeable and extremely proficient in all kinds of metals."

As if he had thought of something, Ye Ling asked casually.

"Does the senior know if there are any soul beasts on the continent that possess both metal and earth attributes?"

Although he asked the question casually, it wasn't entirely unfounded.

According to the theory of soul beast habitats, soul beasts with metal or earth attributes generally prefer to inhabit places rich in mineral resources.

This is similar to what Soul Masters call mimicry cultivation.

Lou Gao's playful expression slowly faded, replaced by a thoughtful look.

After a moment of contemplation, Lou Gao slowly spoke.

"Young Master, have you ever heard of a spirit beast called Behemoth?"

"Behemoth?!"

Ye Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.

In the Ultimate Douluo series, Qian Lei, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, has a golden Behemoth as his natal summoned beast!
It is said that the Golden Behemoth feeds on dragons, and even the Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear seems to have a trace of Behemoth blood.

If that's really the case, then there's some reason why Xiong Jun frequently provokes Di Tian.

"That's right. In the Gengjin Mountains, some distance from Gengjin City, there is a Behemoth tribe that feeds on rare metals."

"The Behemoth tribe is small in number, but extremely powerful."

At this point, Lou Gao sighed softly.

"Both the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall once sent Title Douluo-level experts to exterminate the Behemoth race in order to monopolize the metal contained in the Gengjin Mountains."

"But in the end, they all failed, and on several occasions they even provoked these Behemoths out of the mountains, turning several nearby cities into ruins."

Ye Ling's face lit up with ecstasy.

The Behemoth clan, which can cause even titled Douluo to perish, must possess a king among its members.

Even if its cultivation level is less than 100,000 years, its strength is still far beyond that of ordinary soul beasts.

"Thank you for informing me, Senior Lou Gao."

Ye Ling bowed repeatedly to Lou Gao. Without waiting for Lou Gao to react, he vanished from the spot.

Behemoths were powerful spirit beasts, and they disappeared from the continent after ten thousand years.

To hunt down the king of the Behemoth race, Ye Ling decided to bring along a henchman as a precaution.

"Sister Yu Lai, are you there?"

Ye Ling arrived at Leng Yulai's room and knocked on the door.

"Didn't the young master go to obtain the first spirit ring of his second martial soul?"

"Why are you back so soon?"

The door to the room opened, and Leng Yulai looked at Ye Ling with some surprise.

"I have obtained the first soul ring of my second martial soul, and now my soul power has reached the bottleneck of level 60."

"If Sister Yu Lai isn't busy, could you come with me to hunt a soul beast?"

Leng Yulai was slightly taken aback, then nodded directly.

"Of course, no problem. But where is the soul beast you want?"

"There is a Behemoth clan in the Gengjin Mountains, and what I want is the strongest member of this Behemoth clan to be my soul ring!"

"Alright, I'll go with you."

Leng Yulai took out the Time-Space Shuttle, its silver light flashing continuously.

The next moment, the two figures disappeared from the spot.

Within the Star Dou Empire, in the Gengjin Mountains.

Because this place is rich in various rare metals and is located near Gengjin, it was named Gengjin Mountain Range by the Star Luo Empire.

On a mountain peak somewhere in the Gengjin Mountains, a flash of silver light appeared, revealing two figures.

"Young Master, the Gengjin Mountain Range covers a vast area. I'm afraid the Behemoth tribe will be difficult to find, won't they?"

Leng Yulai frowned as she looked at the somewhat desolate mountain range in front of her.

The Gengjin Mountains are different from other mountains covered with lush vegetation.

The mountain range has very little vegetation, giving it an extremely desolate feel.

"Don't worry, I have a plan."

A ball of white light flew out from Ye Ling's forehead and transformed into the figure of the Ice Emperor.

"Hyotei is in your hands now."

Ye Ling nodded to Hyotei and shared his mental energy with her completely.

This is because Hyotei is his spirit, and the two are now one.

Moreover, the senses that soul beasts have for each other are far more sensitive than the senses that soul masters have for each other.

Hyotei sat cross-legged, and after sharing Ye Ling's mental power, her mental power could now completely cover the entire mountain range.

"found it!"

After a long while, Hyotei opened his eyes and pointed in the southeast direction.

"There's a powerful aura about two hundred miles away in this direction; it's probably the Behemoth tribe."

After a pause, Hyotei added.

"One of the auras is particularly powerful; if we consider it in terms of a soul beast's cultivation level, it might have nearly two hundred thousand years of cultivation!"

Ye Ling's face instantly lit up with surprise.

The true combat power of a 200,000-year-old Behemoth king is probably incomparable to that of an ordinary 200,000-year-old soul beast.

This is absolutely perfect for his sixth spirit ring.

"Sister Yu Lai, the king of the Behemoth clan, who has existed for two hundred thousand years, is a force to be reckoned with. Can you handle him?"

Ye Ling looked at Leng Yulai beside him and asked.

A cruel smile slowly crept onto Leng Yulai's face.

She was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, not some delicate girl.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your spirit ring!"

　They keep saying I'm holding back my level, but where am I holding back my level?
　　Let's aim for a big win in the Soul Master Competition!
