Douluo Continent: I am Black Tiger Afu!

On the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, Afu and Yanfeng finally arrived.

"So this is the Star Dou Great Forest? No wonder it's the largest gathering place for soul beasts on the continent..."

Looking at the ancient forest with its towering trees and deep, dark depths, Afu and Yanfeng were deeply awestruck.

Compared to the vast and primeval forest before us, the grove of trees not far from Tianyun City is practically a small jungle.

The difference in the thickness of these trees is completely on a different level.

Wow! If these trees were in his past life, every single one of them would be a must-see spot. And he would definitely have created a wonderful little story for each one.

For example, this tree is associated with a love story, that one is linked to the God of Literature, and that one with a bulging belly is named the "Child-Giving Tree".

They will all become places where people offer incense and bow down in worship.

Ah Fu sighed inwardly.

Without continuing to admire the scenery, Afu and Yanfeng stepped inside.

The two were no longer as cautious as they had been in the wild.

Who knows if a powerful soul beast might suddenly leap out from the edge of this forest?

The two carefully made their way through the forest. Just then, Yan Feng suddenly thought of a question and looked at A Fu:

"Boss, how many kinds of spirit beasts do you know? Do you know which ones we can absorb and which ones we can't?"

Upon hearing this, Afu scratched his head slightly:

"Ha, this? I only recognize a few common ones, like the Soft-Boned Rabbit, Blue Silver Grass, and Lonely Bamboo, and so on."

Seeing Yan Feng's furrowed brows, Afu waved his hand dismissively:

"Xiao Feng! You must understand that there is always a way out. The important thing is not to choose a soul beast that suits you, but for fate to bring the right soul beast to you."

When you see it, your martial spirit will quickly sense it and proactively remind you:

"Hey, young man, this spirit beast is the perfect match for us to become spirit rings!"

As for whether you and this spirit beast are destined to be together, and whether it can eventually become your spirit ring, that depends on your own abilities!

Whether you defeat it through your own strength or call for help, that's your skill, isn't it?

Upon hearing this, Yan Feng frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he couldn't help but scratch his head:

"Boss, what you're saying seems to make some sense, but something about it just doesn't sound right to me! Are you talking about acquiring spirit rings?"

Afu gently patted Yan Feng on the back:

"What else?! After saying all this, all I'm trying to say is, why think so much? Just go, we'll talk when we meet. Life doesn't have that many plans!"

Seeing that Yan Feng was still deep in thought, Afu reached out and helped him continue walking forward!

After walking for a while, they finally emerged from the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest and arrived at the outer area.

And then, suddenly...

"Whoosh!"

A whooshing sound rang out.

The two men immediately became serious and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

A white light came into view.

The two quickly moved away.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Star Dou Great Forest, three figures were slowly entering.

The leader was a beautiful woman, dressed in a bright yellow long dress, who looked elegant and graceful with a touch of gentleness.

Following closely beside her was a little girl dressed in luxurious clothes. She looked to be about six years old, with delicate and beautiful features.

Far from feeling fear as she entered the deep forest, she looked around curiously, full of interest in exploration.

The reason she showed no fear was naturally due to the confidence she received from the white-clad man at the very back of the group.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in white. He had a handsome face, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a very aloof and dignified demeanor. Only when he looked at the young girl in front of him did his expression soften.

That person was none other than Ye Xingchen, the Star Sword Douluo, a level 96 Super Douluo!

Just then, the young girl seemed to remember something and tugged at the beautiful woman's sleeve:

"mother!"

"When I stopped in Tianyun City before, I heard the people in the city discussing something strange!"

They said that a month ago, a stone lion at the entrance of the city lord's mansion suddenly came to life in full view of everyone, causing quite a commotion!

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman looked at the young girl:

"Oh? Is that so? Did you think it was true or false that day?"

The little girl tilted her head, thought about it seriously, and then shook her head firmly:

"Tian'er thinks it's definitely fake! A stone is an inanimate object, it has no life, how could it become alive? It's probably just hearsay, or... maybe it's an illusion created by some special soul skill?"

"Hmm, Tian'er is right."

The beautiful woman nodded slightly.

"Since Tian'er is so clever, then let's reward you... What should we reward you with...?"

She lightly touched her lips with the index finger of her left hand, as if deep in thought.

"I've got it! As a reward for your successful acquisition of your first spirit ring, you will personally take the plunge. How about that?"

"what?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment.

But when she looked up and saw the woman's mischievous smile, she knew she had been tricked.

"Hmph, Mother, all you do is bully me! Our martial souls are both pure support-type martial souls, unlike Auntie's. How am I supposed to acquire a spirit ring on my own?!"

The beautiful woman flicked the little girl's forehead with a smile:

"I'm your mother. If I don't tease you now, you won't have any more fun to play with when you grow up!"

"Ah! This is outrageous!" the little girl exclaimed angrily.

She stopped and quickly darted into the arms of the man in white behind her, seeking help.

"Grandpa Chen, Mommy bullied me, please spank her!"

Upon hearing the little girl's words, Ye Xingchen's cold expression instantly melted away, and he burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright... Grandpa Chen will uphold justice for Tian'er!"

……

On the other side of the forest, Afu and Yanfeng moved swiftly, dodging the white light and quickly looking toward the source of the attack.

It was a baboon less than a meter tall, with brownish-yellow fur all over its body, long arms, and fierce eyes.

It was standing on a branch, baring its teeth, clearly sulking because its attack had failed.

"Boss, what kind of soul beast is this? Do you recognize it?" Yan Feng asked in a low voice, sounding somewhat nervous.

Afu squinted and immediately calmed down:

"Hey, you know what! I might not know about other things, but this soul beast... what a coincidence! I happen to recognize it. If I'm not mistaken, it's a ten-year-old Wind Baboon."

"Huh? It's just a ten-year-old soul beast!" Yan Feng couldn't help but feel disappointed upon hearing this.

Seeing that his attack had failed, the wind baboon became even more furious, pounding his chest with both fists.

The next moment, he exerted force with his lower limbs, transforming into a yellow shadow and launching an attack on the two.

"Hey, not only do you not surrender to me, you dare to attack me!" Afu stood with his fists together, a cold smile in his eyes.

Although it's not visible to outsiders, Afu has already been possessed by a martial spirit.

Just as the wind baboon took flight, he moved as well.

With legs bent and pushing off the ground, his body quickly shot into the air.

"Raven Take Flight!"

The wind baboon was clearly caught off guard. While in mid-air, its eyes flashed with ferocity, and it reached out with both arms to grab Ah Fu.

Unexpectedly, while in the air, Afu swung his arms, suddenly exerted force in his waist and abdomen, and stomped down with his legs, managing to take off again and complete a double jump in the air.

"Kangaroo jump!"

In that instant, Afu leaped above the wind baboon's body, then unleashed a rapid series of kicks in the air, each landing on the baboon's back.

"Flying Elephant Stomps on a Mouse!"

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

A series of striking sounds rang out.

Under Afu's fierce kick, the wind baboon let out a miserable howl and was kicked to the ground in a sorry state. Its back was already covered in blood, clearly indicating that it was seriously injured!

However, Afu will not give it any chance to turn the tables.

He landed right behind it, clenched his fists, and launched a series of powerful blows at the wind baboon's head.

"Meteor strikes the baboon!"

A short while later, the wind baboon was completely silent. A dim white soul ring floated on its mangled body.

Afu then performed a backflip to get away from the wind baboon's corpse, patting off non-existent dust from his hands.

"Doesn't it know I know kung fu? Are all wind baboons this brave all the time?"
