Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 65 What to do if you can't encounter a soul beast?

"A thousand-year-old soul beast has appeared! Should we remind her to teleport out?" A staff member looked at Wu Changkong. It should be noted that the probability of a thousand-year-old soul beast appearing in the primary spirit transmission platform is about the same as the probability of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast appearing in the inner perimeter of the original Star Dou Great Forest. This once again shows how lucky Gu Yue is.

"Let's take another look." Wu Changkong stared intently at the screen.

A thousand-year-old crystal bear is extremely rare and precious; it was seldom seen even in ancient times.

This Thousand-Year Crystal Bear and the Devilclaw Bear are of the same species, appearing after mutation, but it's a weakened mutation. After the mutation, its strength is much less than that of the Devilclaw Bear. The mutated Ice Crystal Bear in Gu You's mind also belongs to the same category, but for some reason, it has an even stronger ice attribute. There's also a hypothesis: perhaps in ancient times, there was a Crystal Bear that accidentally traveled to the far north and tried to settle down, which led to the mutated generation that Gu You discovered. In any case, all ancient species are now extinct. The one in Gu You's mind might be the only one in the world, or perhaps the only second one...

When fighting the War Maniac, Gu You also demonstrated that the Crystal Bear possesses a special ability: any opponent attacked by it will have their body crystallize, and a subsequent attack will shatter them.

Only with powerful soul force can one resist crystallization and quickly cut off the attacked area to avoid self-damage.

However, crystal bears also have weaknesses, namely that they can only fight in melee and have no ranged attack capabilities.

Although Gu Yue is not the strongest in terms of individual strength among Class Zero, her control over elements is outstanding, and she is also skilled in controlling spatial elements. In terms of overall control and ranged attacks, even Gu You may not be able to match her.

The more pressure a Soul Master is under, the easier it is for them to grow. Wu Changkong firmly believed in this, and he also wanted to see what level his only female student could reach under the threat of this thousand-year-old crystal bear.

Just as Wu Changkong had predicted, Gu Yue remained calm in the face of the Crystal Bear's attack. A flash of light appeared on the yellow soul ring beneath her feet, and her aura became several degrees stronger.

First Soul Ring Skill: Elemental Tide.

Immediately afterwards, a flash of blue light appeared, and Gu Yue's body became light. A flash of silver light appeared, and she disappeared from the spot. This was spatial teleportation.

The Millennium Crystal Bear missed its target and crashed directly into a large tree.

Gu Yue didn't confront it head-on. With her back to the Millennium Crystal Bear, she turned and ran, waving her hands behind her back. Rings of cyan light formed wind-attribute tornadoes, but they weren't meant to attack the Crystal Bear. Given the Millennium Crystal Bear's defense, these tornadoes wouldn't be able to cause it any damage.

However, the wind was enough to deal with the leaves. Under the onslaught of the gale, a large number of leaves fell from the sky, blocking the Crystal Bear's vision. Taking advantage of this, Gu Yue used a spatial teleportation again, changed direction once more, and ran at full speed.

……

"Excellent, that was a very quick and clever response," Long Hengxu exclaimed sincerely.

Wu Changkong nodded slightly. He was even more satisfied with Gu Yue's composure in the face of danger. After being threatened, she was able to judge whether the enemy's strength was something she could contend with, choose a way to deal with it, and select an escape route and means of escape. These things sound easy, but to do them in an instant is extremely difficult. Gu Yue was not only calm, but also intelligent.

…………

"Any soul beasts? I'll even let you see an insect!" Gu You shouted in the primeval forest. He really couldn't understand why he couldn't encounter a single soul beast. Even with the bloodline suppression of his martial soul, it was impossible for soul beasts to turn around and run away as soon as they saw him!

……

"How is Wang Jinxi doing right now?" Long Hengxu asked the staff.

"He's not in mortal danger, but he's suffered significant psychological trauma. This child is really unlucky; the human-faced spider is too ferocious. Even if he had pressed the emergency call button, it wouldn't have been in time," the staff member sighed.

Long Hengxu nodded, and Wu Changkong walked over immediately. "What exactly happened? Why is the respawn rate of soul beasts around one of my students so low?"

Low?

The staff member in front of him was stunned. There was no such thing as probability. It was a world that realistically simulated the original Star Dou Great Forest. When it was built, it was based on historical data one to one. Even the appearance of which soul beasts was arranged perfectly. If you didn't encounter any soul beasts, you could only say you were lucky.

"We can't even find a bug," Wu Changkong continued.

Can't even find an insect?

Having seen and experienced countless times, even the Soul Master who had helped open the Spirit Ascension Platform for the exam was surprised. He ran into the monitoring room and watched the Spirit Ascension Platform screen window after screen until Wu Changkong came in to give him some pointers. Only then did the examinee notice the abnormality around Gu You.

The map shows that whenever Gu You goes to a certain place, the soul beasts that are a hundred meters away will run away, whether it is a hundred years or a thousand years.

What the hell is this?

Upon arriving at the examination site, he was greatly alarmed. He immediately instructed the staff observing him to forcibly use the backup power of the Spirit Ascension Platform to simulate the release of a hundred-year-old human-faced demon spider around the Ancient Wandering Forest.

But the fact remains that after the Human-Faced Demon Orb condensed in the Spirit Ascension Platform, it seemed to sense Gu You's aura and immediately fled into the distance, creating some distance between itself and the outside world.

Fu looked at Wu Changkong, and Wu Changkong looked at him too. Both of them shook their heads, indicating that they knew nothing.

"What's his name? I'll check all the information he's registered with in the Spirit Pagoda." The matter is extremely strange, and this situation is unprecedented in a thousand years.

"Gu You." Long Hengxu walked in and said. Wu Changkong narrowed his eyes. Although it was not some kind of hidden identity data, he was still a little unhappy that his student's information was being checked by others. However, there was nothing he could do. If Gu You could not kill soul beasts in the Spirit Ascension Platform to improve his combat experience, then no matter how many times the school gave him the opportunity to ascend to the Spirit Ascension Platform, it would be useless.

"Okay, I understand. You guys keep an eye on things here. I'll be right back." He hurriedly left to take the exam.

No one thought about it anymore. Wu Changkong continued to stare at Gu You's screen, while Long Hengxu watched Tang Wulin's side.

"He really is a little monster! Even a hundred-year-old bipedal unicorn can't match his strength." Long Hengxu exclaimed, and Wu Changkong looked in the direction of the voice.

Upon discovering that Tang Wulin and Xie Xie had joined forces to kill a two-legged unicorn dragon, Wu Changkong was surprised, but not much. He had deeply felt Tang Wulin's strength; in the Golden Scale state, a single punch could weigh over two thousand jin. Who could compare?

The bipedal unicorn dragon possesses the bloodline of a dragon-type soul beast and is a type of earth dragon. It has extremely strong physical strength, ranking among the top earth dragons. It can run quickly through complex forest terrain and is good at jumping and charging. Although it does not have ranged attack capabilities, this guy has a special personality of never giving up. Once it identifies a target, it will relentlessly pursue it until it kills the opponent.
