Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

Chapter 102 Bear Cookies? No, Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!

"Die!"

Holding the Time Burial Sword, Zhao Tao's figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the Flame Lion King and slashed fiercely with his sword!

Faced with Zhao Tao's attack, the Flame Lion King refused to back down, opened its blood-red maw, and spat out a mouthful of purplish-black demonic flames!

The terrifying demonic flames, exuding an evil aura, seemed capable of scorching everything!

This is the Flame Lion King's innate ability—the Flame Breath!

The demonic flames it spews out reach temperatures of over a thousand degrees, enough to melt even the finest iron!

Faced with such powerful demonic flames, Zhao Tao remained calm and accelerated, dodging the Flame Lion King's fire attack.

Immediately afterward, Zhao Tao slid over the Flame Lion King.

With a swift movement, the Time Burial Sword in his hand plunged straight into the body of the Flame Lion King, slashing a wound several meters long in its lower abdomen.

With a powerful burst of soul power and the power of time, the Flame Lion King let out a mournful cry and then collapsed to the ground, dead.

The whole process took less than five seconds.

"Brother Tao is awesome!"

Seeing this scene, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan all cast admiring glances at each other.

This is the Flame Lion King, a being with three thousand years of cultivation. In the primary Spirit Ascension Platform, it is definitely a hegemon-level existence.

In front of Brother Tao, he couldn't even last a few breaths before being instantly killed.

All I can say is, Brother Tao is truly amazing!

"Gu Yue, you should rest too. Leave the rest of the Flame Lions to Wu Lin and the others."

"It's also a good opportunity to hone their combat skills before heading to Shrek Academy for the assessment."

With a slight smile, Zhao Tao canceled the "future body" buff and did not continue to attack the remaining Flame Lions, but instead began to command them.

Now, his soul cultivation has reached its limit, and no amount of spiritual power will be of any use to him.

Attacking these small fry would only deplete his soul power; it would be better to leave it to his own underlings.

"Okay, Xiaoyan, good luck to you guys!"

Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Gu Yue smiled and did not continue to attack and kill the several heavily injured thousand-year-old flame demon lions.

Instead, he came to Zhao Tao's side to support the other students in Class Zero.

"Yes, Brother Tao!"

Upon receiving Zhao Tao's instructions, Xu Xiaoyan, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie nodded and went all out.

In less than a minute, the remaining Flame Lion pack was wiped out.

"Wu Lin, Xie Xie, and Xiao Yan, well done!"

Looking at the three returning victorious, Zhao Tao smiled slightly and offered encouragement.

"We only did some minor finishing touches; we're far from being as good as Brother Tao and Sister Gu Yue!"

Hearing Zhao Tao's encouragement, Tang Wulin scratched his head and replied somewhat shyly.

After all, the most powerful enemy in the entire Flame Lion pack was killed by Zhao Tao.

The thousand-year-old flame demon lions they were dealing with had already been severely injured by Gu Yue.

Without Zhao Tao and Gu Yue, the three of them alone would probably have had no choice but to run away if they encountered such a group of fire demon lions.

"Alright, without further ado, this should be my last time entering the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform."

"Once I arrive in Shrek City, I plan to go to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters to apply to join the Spirit Pagoda and, while I'm at it, search for my second soul spirit."

"So, this time, after the exam, let's go deep into the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform."

Upon hearing Tang Wulin's words, Zhao Tao smiled and gave instructions for the subsequent itinerary.

"If you want to join the Spirit Pagoda, I can recommend you directly to the higher levels of the Spirit Pagoda."

Just then, Gu Yue suddenly spoke up.

"That's wonderful, Yue'er! I was just about to ask you for help!"

"However, I'm worried that Teacher Wu might overhear and affect his mood, so I plan to tell you when we get to Shrek City."

Upon hearing Gu Yue's words, Zhao Tao revealed a look of surprise and said.

"Don't worry, I've got your back!"

Looking at Zhao Tao beside her, Gu Yue smiled confidently.

"Alright, let's choose a suitable spot and wait for the exam to end."

"Moon, it's all up to you."

Hearing Gu Yue's words, Zhao Tao smiled and nodded, then spoke again.

"Hmm, let me look for it."

After speaking, a streak of cyan light flashed beside Gu Yue, and clusters of cyan energy transformed into wind birds, flying into the air to observe the surrounding environment.

"Come with me."

Soon, Gu Yue's eyes lit up, and she led the group to a valley.

This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one side facing the enemy, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Meanwhile, the students in Class Zero began to rest and recuperate here.

For the next period of time, although many soul beasts came to attack, they were all easily defeated by the students of Class Zero.

To avoid attracting more soul beasts with the smell of blood, Zhao Tao and the others mainly focused on driving them away, only luring them to a distance to kill them if they were really persistent.

And so, after a day and night filled with close calls but ultimately without incident, Zhao Tao and the others successfully completed their final exams.

"Let's go, let's explore the depths of the Ascension Platform!"

With a slight smile, Zhao Tao was the first to stand up, his eyes filled with a sharp aura.

After all, he knew that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear existed in the Elementary Spirit Pagoda.

If you can kill it, it will drop a precious soul bone.

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for him, as it can help him reach a higher level of strength.

When he travels to the Star Luo Continent in the future, he will face an enemy at the Soul Emperor level, Long Yue.

Strengthening their basic abilities as much as possible is essential. Under Zhao Tao's leadership, Class Zero set off into the depths of the great forest at top speed.

As they ventured deeper, the vegetation ahead became increasingly lush.

Zhao Tao, wielding the Time Burial Sword, led the way.

After maintaining this high-speed travel for about two hours, the group from Class Zero also ventured deep into the innermost part of the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.

Here, the forest grows increasingly dark, with almost all the sunlight blocked by the dense vegetation.

Before everyone appeared a huge figure, a bear, but not a bear cookie, but a giant bear!

It stands three meters tall and is covered in dark golden fur.

His large, bell-like eyes were filled with indifference and murderous intent.

His body was incredibly robust, especially his arms, which were exceptionally large and thick.

At the ends of its two front paws are a pair of dark gold, sharp blades.

The blade was over a meter long and incredibly sharp, seemingly capable of cutting through anything.

Even the area around the blade was somewhat blurry, as if space itself had been torn apart.

"The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear should be the one we encountered last time."

"Gu Yue, these must be the guardians of the primary and intermediate Spirit Ascension Platforms you mentioned, right?"

Looking at the dark gold dinosaur in front of him, Zhao Tao's expression was solemn, filled with fighting spirit.

"That's right."

Upon hearing Zhao Tao's words, Gu Yue nodded with a serious expression.
