Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

Even so, it's still infinitely better than being killed on the spot by Bibi Dong!

Thinking about it, Liu Erlong's anger eased slightly, and she slowly closed her eyes, waiting for her punishment.

Bibi Dong looked at Chen Yao with surprise, wondering how he had suddenly become so magnanimous.

They were actually going to let Liu Erlong go.

But then Bibi Dong realized something: Chen Yao, that beast, was afraid that Yu Luomian would cause him trouble later, he was scared!

It really suits his fear of death; for the sake of his own life, he can even temporarily put aside such a deadly feud.

Bibi Dong nodded thoughtfully and said.

"You are right, then so be it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong's expression turned serious, devoid of any emotion. A purple light shimmered in her eyes, and accompanied by a gust of wind, a surge of soul power swept out.

"Puch!"

The next moment, Liu Erlong's body flew backward, crashing into a thick ancient tree before finally coming to a stop.

He was curled up on the ground, his face contorted in agony, coughing up blood that stained the damp soil red.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes flashed with heartache, but because Bibi Dong was present, he hesitated for a moment and still did not go forward to help her.

"Cough cough!"

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Erlong, who had been struggling in pain on the ground, finally recovered, coughing and trembling as he got up.

Her face was extremely pale, and her soul power was weak and feeble, with only level 20 remaining, which was exactly the same as Chen Yao's.

The two purple soul rings behind her also dimmed, and they were no longer usable until her soul power was restored.

Liu Erlong felt that his soul power cultivation, which he had painstakingly cultivated over the years without daring to slack off in the slightest, had vanished by six or seven tenths in an instant, causing him immense pain.

But she dared not show it. As long as she was alive, there was hope; only death would truly end it all.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Erlong glanced at Yu Xiaogang, but quickly moved away and placed his face on Chen Yao. He stared at him intently for a moment before bowing and clasping his hands in greeting to Bibi Dong.

"Thank you for your guidance today, Holy Maiden. If there is nothing else, we will take our leave now."

After saying that, Liu Erlong didn't wait for Bibi Dong's response. She turned around and slowly left, dragging her heavily injured body.

"call…"

Watching Liu Erlong leave, Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Although Liu Erlong was already in a terrible state, he still felt uneasy. He couldn't completely bury her in the ground, and he always felt a sense of regret.

But this is the best he could do now, so Chen Yao stopped thinking about it. He glanced at Yu Xiaogang, who looked completely lost, and then said to Bibi Dong.

"The matter that the Holy Maiden asked me to investigate has yielded some results. Would you like to hear my report now?"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong immediately realized that Chen Yao had something to say to her privately, and nodded.

"Alright, let's talk inside my tent."

Then, the two left Yu Xiaogang, who was standing there alone, heartbroken, and walked into the tent.

Upon entering the tent, Chen Yao finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed onto the soft blanket, coughing up a mouthful of bright red blood that stained the blanket.

Reaching out to wipe the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, Chen Yao looked at Bibi Dong.

"Healing medicine."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly, took out a pill-like object with an extremely irregular shape, and handed it to Chen Yao.

This is a healing medicine refined by the Spirit Hall's healing spirit masters. Although it cannot compare to the healing spirit masters' personal treatment, it is an essential item for emergency situations in the wild.

Without any hesitation, Chen Yao swallowed the pill in one gulp.

Instantly, his bloodless face recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"call."

Letting out a breath of stale air, Chen Yao addressed Bibi Dong again.

"My injuries are too severe, so I will stay here to recuperate. You and Yu Xiaogang can go and search for the spirit ring together."

This camp bears traces of Bibi Dong's soul power. In the outer reaches of the Star Dou Forest, where even a thousand-year-old soul beast is hard to find, no soul beast dares to approach this place. However, Chen Yao is not worried about encountering any danger.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong immediately understood Chen Yao's meaning. She sighed inwardly, nodded coldly, and turned to leave.

Once outside, Bibi Dong approached Yu Xiaogang.

"Xiao Gang, Chen Yao's injuries are too severe to hunt for spirit rings. He should stay at the camp to recuperate. I'll take you to get a spirit ring first."

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yu Xiaogang, who had been in a daze, immediately came to his senses, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Really? Dong'er, are you willing to take me hunting for spirit rings?"

Looking at Yu Xiaogang's smile, Bibi Dong felt a pang of guilt for no reason, but she still managed to force an awkward smile.

"Of course, it's just a spirit ring, what's the big deal?"

"In that case, let's get going. The habitat of the soul beasts I need is quite a distance from here!"

Yu Xiaogang's lips curled up in an uncontrollable smile as he said excitedly.

Bibi Dong nodded, and then the two of them walked out of the camp together.

……

As night fell, a commotion came from outside the camp. Chen Yao slowly opened his eyes and saw the tent flap being opened.

Immediately afterwards, Bibi Dong walked in from outside.

She carried a dying, jet-black soul beast with ferocious horns on its head in one hand, and the unconscious Yu Xiaogang in the other.

"So fast?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Yao's eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn't expected Bibi Dong and her team to be so efficient, finding them in just one day.

Chen Yao thought he would have to wait a while.

"We were lucky to run into this soul beast while it was out foraging for food."

Bibi Dong explained the situation, then placed the dying soul beast and Yu Xiaogang on the ground.

Chapter 32 Chen Yao's First Soul Skill

Chen Yao nodded upon hearing this, clutching his right side which was still throbbing with pain, and staggered to the side of the soul beast.

"Are you sure you can successfully absorb the spirit ring like this? It's fine if you're courting death, but don't drag Xiao Gang down with you..."

Seeing Chen Yao's appearance, Bibi Dong frowned slightly and spoke sarcastically, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

"Don't worry, do I look like the kind of person who would seek death?"

Chen Yao didn't care about Bibi Dong's sharp words. He slowly shook his head, then pointed to the dying soul beast on the ground and asked.

Did Yu Xiaogang say what kind of soul beast this is?

Bibi Dong nodded.

"Xiao Gang said it's a kind of soul beast called Bo Xie An Liao."

These types of spirit beasts generally inhabit deep underground, feeding on shadows and darkness, and are extremely rare.

It surpasses even those soul beasts that can easily cultivate to the 100,000-year level. When Xiao Gang saw this soul beast, he was so excited he almost fainted. In the end, it was you, you beast, who benefited from it!

Bibi Dong's voice carried a hint of regret, as if she were feeling sorry for Yu Xiaogang.

But she didn't feel much regret; instead, she had a strange feeling of relief for Chen Yao.

Of course, she would never admit to having such thoughts.

"His martial spirit was given to him by me. Haven't you seen how smug he is lately? It's like he's had a second spring in his life. What's a spirit ring to him?"

Chen Yao smiled indifferently.

"It's as if your martial spirit gave him some huge benefit!"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong rolled her eyes, speechless, then kicked the soul beast beneath her feet and said.

"If you're confident, hurry up and kill the soul beast and absorb it."

Chen Yao nodded upon hearing this, and then his soul power surged, accompanied by the shimmering light of the pale yellow soul ring behind him.

His body was shrouded in darkness, as if he were wearing a black robe, making it impossible to see his face, and his aura became cold and sinister.

Furthermore, his form no longer seemed so solid, as if it might disintegrate at any moment.

This is his first soul skill, Dark Body.

After using it, he will merge with darkness, and his flesh and blood will transform into a semi-energy form, existing between reality and illusion.

In this form, Chen Yao can penetrate any substance and disappear into the shadows, possessing an extremely terrifying concealment effect.

He is also immune to 80% of physical damage and 50% of energy damage.

Although this ratio will decrease as the opponent's level increases, the Dark Body will generally lose its effectiveness when facing an opponent who is more than 40 levels higher than oneself.

But this is also extremely terrifying. This almost unsolvable method of concealment and damage immunity makes Chen Yao invincible among those of the same level!

And don't forget, this incredible skill is only his first spirit ring.

Generally speaking, after becoming a Soul Master or a Title Douluo, their first Soul Skill will fall behind and be abandoned by them.

Almost no one has ever seen a Contra Master or higher-level expert use their first Soul Skill in a battle.

The attack brought by such a weak spirit ring is tantamount to exposing one's own weakness to the opponent.

However, if Chen Yao's functional soul skill is cultivated to the level of Title Douluo in the future, it will not be outdated and will still be able to bring him extremely terrifying help!

It was precisely because of this soul skill that Chen Yao dared to do business without any investment outside Wuhun City with a soul power of only a dozen levels.

To be able to sneak into the Holy Maiden's room in the dead of night right under the nose of the Spirit Hall.

And under the relentless bombardment of Liu Erlong, a level 47 fire dragon soul master, he managed to escape by sheer luck!

This demonstrates the power of this soul skill!

This spirit ring was obtained when Ghost led Chen Yao to hunt a spirit beast called Shadow Fox.

This kind of spirit beast is not rare, but it is not abundant either. Ghost's first spirit ring was also obtained by hunting this kind of spirit beast.
