Douluo Continent: Invincible Physical Body, I Became a God with a Mortal Form

"What! You're crazy!"

Director Su's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "A four-hundred-year-old soul beast is already the limit for your first soul ring! You absolutely cannot withstand absorbing a seven- or eight-hundred-year-old soul beast. Your meridians will be directly burst by the massive soul power, resulting in severe injuries at best, and death on the spot at worst!"

Wang Shuo, however, remained unusually calm. He raised his arm, revealing his well-defined muscles, and confidently answered:

"Director Su, my body far surpasses that of ordinary people; even the physical strength of a typical one-ring Soul Master is inferior to mine. Therefore, the upper limit of Soul Rings I can absorb is definitely far beyond four hundred years. I am confident that I can absorb Soul Rings of seven or eight hundred years!"

A resolute glint flashed in Wang Shuo's eyes. The image of Yu Xiaogang's mockery at Notting Academy and Tang San's terrifying strike resurfaced in his mind, and the humiliation burned fiercely in his chest.

"What I want is not ordinary spirit rings, but to surpass the limits and crush everyone of the same level. Only spirit rings of higher age can make me truly stand out and become a top-tier spirit master."

Director Su stared at Wang Shuo's determined eyes and felt the steady and profound aura emanating from his body, remaining silent for a long time.

In his many years of experience, he had never seen a level 10 Soul Master dare to challenge a Soul Ring that was over 700 years old. But the young man in front of him had a do-or-die spirit that was definitely not a momentary impulse.

He seemed to have truly witnessed the rise of a top-tier Soul Master, and after a moment of contemplation, he finally made his decision.

"The Swift Shadow Wolf, the Swift Fox, and the Wind Pattern Spirit Leopard—these three types of soul beasts, individuals aged seven to eight hundred years, all inhabit the Wind Valley area in the middle layer of the Soul Beast Forest."

Director Su finally relented, his tone still grave: "I can take you, but you must promise me that if the power of the spirit ring exceeds your limit, you must give up immediately. Don't push yourself! I can save you once, but I can't save you twice!"

"Thank you, Professor Su!" Wang Shuo bowed deeply, his eyes shining with fervent enthusiasm.

The two then moved quickly, heading towards Wind Valley in the middle of the Soul Beast Forest.

The spirit beasts along the way became increasingly ferocious, with century-old spirit beasts frequently appearing, but they were all easily intimidated and driven away by Director Su.

Wang Shuo followed closely behind, his eyes always fixed ahead, carefully observing his surroundings with every step he took.

Director Su was merely a Soul Venerable, and his strength was insufficient to guarantee that the two could freely traverse this Soul Beast Forest.

Wang Shuo was well aware that this Soul Hunting Operation was extremely dangerous and a huge gamble.

Success would grant him extraordinary abilities, while failure would condemn him to eternal damnation, but he had no other choice.

Only by obtaining ultimate power can he make those who look down on him pay the price.

A day later, the sound of howling wind came from the valley ahead, and it grew louder and louder.

The trees ahead gradually thinned out, and a valley filled with gravel came into view.

"We've arrived! From now on, be on high alert and don't make any unnecessary noise." Director Su gestured for Wang Shuo to stop and reminded him in a low voice.

"The soul beasts here have extremely keen senses. Soul beasts that are over seven hundred years old have reaction speeds far beyond your imagination. Once they are alerted, it will be very difficult to catch them, and they will also attract the siege of their companions," Director Su said solemnly.

Wang Shuo nodded, gathering all his soul power, leaving only a trace of perception to spread out.

Immediately afterwards, the two began to move slowly through the rocky valley.

The two searched for a long time but could not find a suitable soul beast. Most of them were ten-year soul beasts, and hundred-year soul beasts were even rarer.

"According to the markings on the map, this area should be the gathering place of the Gale Shadow Wolves. They gather in large groups, and the leader is a hundred-year-old soul beast. However, there are too many wolves to deal with them," Director Su analyzed seriously.

"Teacher Su, don't worry about dealing with the leader. I'll take care of the rest of the wolf pack." Wang Shuo pulled out his hundred-pound axe, which he had prepared for hunting soul beasts.

Woohoo~

A wolf howl rang out, followed by dozens of voices echoing from afar.

Director Su's expression turned solemn. Suddenly, a gray-black afterimage darted out from the pile of rubble, carrying a sharp gust of wind, and rushed straight at Wang Shuo's face.

"Xiao Shuo, watch out! First Soul Skill, Wind Breaker."

Director Su immediately used his first soul skill, thrusting his spear at the black afterimage.

At this moment, Wang Shuo's pupils contracted slightly, but his body reacted before his mind could. He instinctively pushed off with his feet, and his body suddenly retreated, narrowly avoiding the Shadow Wolf's attack.

Director Su brandished his spear with a whooshing sound, and the black afterimage immediately dodged and jumped onto a large rock.

"This is a Swift Shadow Wolf that's nearly eight hundred years old!"

Director Su then clearly saw the Swift Shadow Wolf in front of him, with its light blue fur, thick limbs, and a body as large as an ox.

When Wang Shuo landed after dodging, there was no fear in his eyes, but rather a burning fighting spirit.

This one is just the right age, I'll take it!

The Swift Shadow Wolf let out a ferocious roar. Having missed its attack, it rubbed its claws against the boulder, preparing to pounce again.

Director Su stood in front of Wang Shuo, his soul power surging as he was about to make a move, when his expression suddenly darkened.

Awoo!

At that moment, several mournful wolf howls rang out simultaneously. These sounds came from the dense forest and the cracks in the rocks, and one after another, gray and black afterimages darted out and surrounded the two in the blink of an eye.

There were five Swift Shadow Wolves, each with varying auras. The weakest among them had only ten years of cultivation, while the strongest had deep blue fur and its soul power fluctuations were close to two hundred years old.

They formed a fan shape, baring their fangs and emitting low, threatening growls from their throats, clearly having been lying in ambush, waiting for their prey to invade their territory.

Director Su's eyes were grave: "We were careless. We didn't expect that these beasts had already discovered us. They actually wanted to ambush and kill us."

Wang Shuo gripped his giant axe tightly. His gaze swept across the encirclement, finally settling on the eight-hundred-year-old Gale Shadow Wolf. He said in a deep voice:

"Teacher Su, you focus on dealing with the leader, leave the rest to me."

Director Su was taken aback: "You alone? These Gale Shadow Wolves are extremely fast, and that one that's nearly two hundred years old is especially troublesome. You probably can't beat it!"

"I just want to verify the results of my years of hard work and cultivation. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Wang Shuo slightly ground his foot, his soul power quietly circulating throughout his body, his eyes sharp as knives, and all his muscles tensed.

Director Su, seeing the fighting spirit in the boy's eyes and then at the eight-hundred-year-old Gale Shadow Wolf that seemed ready to pounce, immediately gritted his teeth and nodded:

"Alright! I'll take care of the leader as quickly as possible. If you can't hold on, call me immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Director Su shot out, his soul power condensing into a powerful wave of energy that rushed straight towards the Eight Hundred Years Gale Shadow Wolf!

The eight-hundred-year-old Gale Shadow Wolf roared, a gust of wind suddenly rose around it, and it engaged in a fierce battle with Director Su at an extremely fast speed.

A strong wind howled, and dirt and rocks flew everywhere. The man and the wolf instantly entered into a tug-of-war.
