Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King

Fors, not to be outdone, unleashed a bolt of lightning that collided with it. Blue-purple and golden lightning intertwined, but upon closer inspection, it was clear.

The golden lightning bolts were much smaller, but they gradually swallowed the blue-purple lightning bolts before dissipating into the air.

"Chirp, chirp."

Upon seeing the golden lightning in Fors's hand, the Thunder Beast's body visibly trembled. Its blue-purple eyes, when looking at Fors, were filled with a peculiar expression, and it seemed to be making some kind of noise.

The Thunder Beast transformed into a bolt of lightning and appeared not far from the group in the blink of an eye. Its large eyes looked at Fors with a fawning expression.

!!!

So fast! When they saw the Thunder Beast run in front of the six people in the blink of an eye, Yuanen Yehui and Tang Wulin couldn't help but tense up.

However, when they saw that the Thunder Beast was staying not far from Fors, maintaining a safe distance, and constantly calling out with a fawning expression, the two couldn't help but look confused.

What's going on?

"This is what you want, isn't it?" Fors looked at the thunder beast in front of her, and after a moment's thought, she roughly understood why the thunder beast was behaving this way. She raised her right hand, and a golden lightning bolt crackled and popped in her hand.

"Chirp, chirp."

When the Thunder Beast saw the golden lightning in Fors's hand, its cries grew louder, its face filled with longing.

"for you."

Fors condensed golden lightning into a small ball and then threw it at the Thunder Beast.

"Chirp—" When it saw the golden ball being thrown at it, the Thunder Beast pounced on it without even considering whether it was a trap.

When the Thunder Beast caught the golden ball, it immediately stuffed it into its mouth. As a darling of the lightning element, lightning was practically its food.

However, this golden lightning was clearly different from the ordinary lightning of the past. When the thunder beast swallowed the golden ball, its entire body trembled, and then, as if it had been electrocuted, it lay on the ground convulsing.

"This..." Tang Wulin and the others looked at each other, unsure whether to attack. After all, the Thunder Beast looked completely powerless to resist!

However, they ultimately chose not to take action and instead opted to wait and see.

After a short while, the Thunder Beast's body stopped convulsing. After a period of time, the Thunder Beast stood up from the ground, but judging from its somewhat unsteady appearance, it was clear that it had not fully recovered.

"As expected, this is not the real Thunder Beast." Nan Fusheng, who was behind, took in everything and then made a judgment.

A true Thunder Beast possesses the ultimate attribute, feeds on lightning, and emits pure golden lightning. Just like the body part unique to the Thunder Beast that Invincible gave him back then.

Although the thunder beast is dead, if it is stimulated with lightning, and the amount reaches a certain level, that part of its body tissue will burst out with golden lightning.

The thunder beast in front of us was different. It had only absorbed a little bit of Fors's lightning, yet it acted as if it had drunk fake alcohol, and the lightning it emitted was not golden.

If it were a true Thunder Beast, even if it consumed the ultimate lightning, it would not show any abnormality unless the amount was extremely large. However, the lightning that Fors just delivered was not even enough to fill the teeth of a true Thunder Beast.

"This must be an artificial soul. Has the Spirit Pagoda reached this level of capability?"

In fact, Nan Fusheng's guess was correct. This Thunder Beast was indeed an artificial soul, but it was an accidental, unfinished creation.

It is a half-finished Thunder Beast that the Spirit Pagoda attempted to recreate using a portion of the body tissue of a dead Thunder Beast.

Why is it described as a semi-finished product?

First of all, this Thunder Beast was a successful experimental creation by chance, and it is almost impossible to replicate.

Secondly, this thunder beast doesn't possess the ultimate attribute; it can only approach the ultimate thunder power when unleashing its full power. Although it's a thunder beast, it seems somewhat unworthy of the name.

Like the unique Direclaw Bear offshoot, the unique Direclaw Bear, while possessing some of its advantages, is far inferior to the original.

However, even though it is not a fully-formed Thunder Beast, it can still be considered a top-tier Soul Beast, which is why it was placed in the Soul Spirit Tower by the Spirit Transfer Tower.

"Chirp."

The thunder beast shook its head for a while before slowly approaching Fors. Then it jumped onto Fors's palm, rubbed against her palm, and stared at Fors with its big eyes.

"Do you want to become my spirit?" Fors asked the thunder beast in her palm.

"Chirp chirp." Thunder Beast nodded repeatedly, while also rubbing against Fors.

"You're quite clever, but unfortunately, I don't need to absorb a spirit ring right now, and I'm not interested in lightning-attribute spirits either."

Fors knew perfectly well why the thunder beast was following her; it probably wanted to use her ultimate thunder attribute to successfully transform itself into an ultimate attribute as well.

For a soul beast that pursues pure lightning, if it can elevate its lightning power to the next level, it wouldn't matter if it became someone else's soul spirit, let alone the fact that the current lightning beast is already a soul spirit.

Upon hearing Fors's words, the Thunder Beast immediately deflated. Its intelligence was considerable; although its cultivation was only a little over five thousand years old, its intelligence surpassed that of most ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, a characteristic of top-tier soul beasts.

"However," Fors changed the subject, "I have a companion who possesses the same lightning as me, or even a bit stronger. I'll let him know, and if he's interested in you, he might come to the Soul Tower to challenge you."

"Chirp, chirp." Hearing Fors's words, the Thunder Beast started chirping again, but this time it seemed very excited.

“Alright, now we’re in a hurry to clear the level. Only after we find the soul spirit we want can I go back and tell him. Now, let’s have a fight, shall we?” Fors said as he put the Thunder Beast down.

"Chirp chirp." At Fors's words, the Thunder Beast raised its short arms and waved them in front of it, as if reminding her not to forget the promise. Then it turned into a bolt of lightning and returned to the portal.

The next moment, the familiar electronic voice sounded again, "Ten-second countdown. Please enter to continue the tower challenge, or you can choose to absorb the Thunder Beast's soul." A halo appeared in the air, and the pattern within the halo was the Thunder Beast they had faced earlier.

"This works?" Tang Wulin and the others were dumbfounded. They hadn't expected to take down a level so easily. They had witnessed the speed of that thunder beast earlier, and with its terrifying lightning power, a fierce battle would have been inevitable.

"How naive it is!" Fors said with a sigh. She had only said that "its companions might come to the Soul Tower to find it," but this thunder beast actually believed her. Wasn't it afraid that she would change her mind?

Of course, the ultimate lightning she displayed was the key reason why the Thunder Beast believed in her.

“Indeed, compared to complex humans, soul beasts are more simple most of the time.” Gu Yue agreed with Fors’s words.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin and the others also expressed their agreement.

Fors: "..." Help! There's a soul beast spy who's infiltrated here!

She was just saying it casually, and she even dared to criticize Gu Yue. How could most soul beasts not be innocent?

Soul beasts less than 10,000 years old are basically no different from wild animals; they only follow their instincts to hunt and kill.

Even those who have lived for tens of thousands of years are not much better off. Even if they develop intelligence, their previous animalistic instincts are not so easy to change.

As for soul beasts and even ferocious beasts that are over 100,000 years old, one can only say that their minds are too complicated.

One of the Ten Thousand Demon Kings, one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, is a deep and scheming type, while Xiong Jun is a simple-minded and honest guy.

Di Tian was even more stubborn, always fantasizing about the revival of soul beasts. As a result, for ten thousand years, he never bothered to learn anything about soul tools. He just spent his days guarding his master.

Even if all else fails, you can learn forging. With the bloodline of the dragon race and the long lifespan of a soul beast, you can eventually become a master craftsman.

In other words, the fact that they were forced into this state by humans is not without its own factors. Humans simply adapted to the times and defeated the spirit beasts.

"Is the companion you mentioned earlier real?" Gu Yue asked Fors casually at this moment.

"Of course, he was my teammate when I was studying at the Intermediate Soul Master Academy."

Fors answered frankly that the information about Lufa and the others was fabricated to be seen by others, so it was not difficult to find their information, so of course she had no intention of hiding it.

What he just said to the Thunder Beast wasn't a lie. If Shenwei is really interested in the Thunder Beast, then Nan Fusheng will have Qian Gu Bubai make arrangements for it.

Chapter 195 Xie Xie's Rise to Power: Even a Small Fool Should Act Like a Small Fool

In the eleventh level, since the Thunder Beast was captured by Fors without bloodshed, the rest of the group hardly used any soul power and therefore did not need to rest.

The group stepped through the gate of light and entered the twelfth level!

With a flash of light, it was as if we had returned to the previous scene, only the portal had disappeared. The twelfth and eleventh levels looked no different from each other.

"All personnel on high alert!" Tang Wulin shouted as soon as he entered.

Whether it was the Demon Lizard Dragon in the tenth level or the Thunder Beast in the eleventh level, they both left a deep impression on them. If they hadn't happened to have a way to counter them, they probably would have had to expend a lot of effort to pass the levels.

But now, on the twelfth level, they don't think they'll have such good luck again.

In the distance, the metal door was fully open, and a soul beast silently walked out from inside.

When this spirit beast emerged from the cave, it bowed its head. It was over ten meters tall.

Its body was so massive that the previous demonic lizard dragon was nothing more than a little brother in comparison. Its shoulders were over seven meters wide, and its arms were as thick as giant pillars.

"This is... a King Kong baboon?" Yuan En Ye Hui's eyes lit up instantly.

The King Kong Baboon is a strength-type soul beast. It is the largest ape-type soul beast. Yes, the largest. At the same cultivation level, its size even surpasses that of the Titan Ape.

The largest known giant baboon can reach a height of forty meters, making it a true behemoth. Its immense strength has earned it the reputation of being a marvel of the spirit beast world. Aside from a very few other spirit beasts, it is undoubtedly the undisputed king of strength.

Its combat power is pure strength. Terrifying strength grants it terrifying speed. In the jungle, it was once known as the King of the Jungle.

The reason why the Titan Ape was able to surpass it was not primarily due to its strength and skills, but rather its intelligence.

As the saying goes, "all brawn and no brains," the biggest problem with the baboon is its brain.

In the world of spirit beasts, ape-type spirit beasts are generally more intelligent than other types of spirit beasts. This guy is also an anomaly in this respect. His intelligence is very low, or even non-existent.

Everything is driven by the instinct for survival. He is ruthless and has a thirst for killing. Besides his strength, he possesses only one soul skill: Berserk!

Furthermore, it only affects the body and not the berserk state of the soul.

Because it only affects the body, its amplification is even more terrifying. It can increase all related abilities of one's own body by fifty percent.

A thousand-year-old soul beast with only one soul skill is extremely rare. If it were any other soul master, this Vajra Baboon would definitely be a burden. But Yuanen Yehui is different; she has the Titan Giant Ape martial soul.

If the power of the Titan Ape is combined with the power and physical abilities of the King Kong Baboon, it will mutate into an even more powerful soul skill, which is far more than just berserk mode.

“I choose this one,” Yuan Enhui said without hesitation.

“Okay, we’ll do our best.” Tang Wulin nodded to her.

This golden baboon's cultivation level is at least five thousand years. Soul beasts that fight purely by brute force undoubtedly possess extraordinary attack, defense, and speed. While losing ranged attack capabilities, they are endowed with terrifying close-combat abilities.
