Douluo Continent: The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, who intercepted the immortal herb

The heavy wooden doors of the main hall of the Papal Palace slowly closed behind us.

Su Chen stood alone on the high white jade steps.

The morning sunlight shone on his black brocade robe.

It reflects a noble, dark golden luster.

Just as he was about to step down the steps.

The mechanical voice that had been silent in my mind for two days rang out right on time.

"Ding. Detected that the host is about to travel to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain the first spirit ring."

"Main questline has been updated."

"Mission Name: The First Step to a God-like Start"

A pale blue, semi-transparent light screen, visible only to Su Chen, unfolded before his eyes.

The text above refreshes rapidly.

"Mission Requirements: The host must be within the Star Dou Great Forest. Independently or with assistance, hunt down a top-tier bloodline soul beast whose age is no less than 1,500 years and successfully absorb it as the first soul ring. The soul beast's attributes must be highly compatible with either the Ultimate Light or the Ultimate Darkness."

"Mission deadline: Fifteen days."

"Mission Rewards: Dark attribute affinity increased to 100%. First Soul Skill automatically evolves into an unlimited, growable God-level skill. Soul Power level directly increases by two levels."

"Special auxiliary item has been issued: One high-level soul beast precision radar for the Star Dou Great Forest. Limited time offer: 30 days."

Su Chen finished reading the information on the light screen.

A satisfied smile curved his lips.

The task requirements issued by the system perfectly aligned with his personal plans.

He had always intended to break the 423-year-old "waste theory".

Now, with the added benefit of system rewards...

His first soul skill will become a terrifying killing move that can continuously evolve with his strength.

It will never become useless in the later stages just because it is too young.

"Extracting precise radar."

Su Chen gave the command in his mind.

A faint ripple spread across the sea of ​​consciousness.

A detailed three-dimensional map instantly appeared in his mind.

The map is currently in an inactive state.

As long as you enter the area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

You can start scanning at any time.

Su Chen composed himself.

He walked down the ninety-nine white jade steps to Papal Square.

Edge of the square.

A very high-class luxury carriage had been waiting for a long time.

The chariot was pulled by four dragon horses whose bodies were covered with black scales.

This dragon-horse possesses a trace of dragon blood.

He can travel a thousand miles a day and has amazing endurance.

It is the highest-level exclusive mount of the Spirit Hall.

Both sides of the carriage.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei have changed into black outfits that allow for easy movement.

They did not bring any attendants.

For two peak Douluo at level 95.

Taking ordinary Soul Masters to the Star Dou Great Forest would be a complete burden.

Seeing Su Chen approaching.

The two titled Douluo stepped forward simultaneously.

They bowed slightly.

His attitude was extremely respectful.

"Your Highness, the carriage is ready. We can depart at any time."

Yue Guan spoke first.

This was not only because of Bibi Dong's orders.

Furthermore, they were completely impressed by the terrifying strength that Su Chen displayed in the martial arts arena.

In the Douluo Continent, the strong are respected.

Su Chen's talent destined him to become someone who would surpass everyone else in the future.

Su Chen nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work, elders. Let's set off."

He stepped onto the carriage using the footboard.

The interior space of the carriage is extremely large.

The ground was covered with thick Arctic ferret fur.

A small table made of rosewood was placed in the center.

Fresh spiritual fruits and potions to replenish energy were placed on the table.

Su Chen walked to the innermost position.

Sit cross-legged.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei personally took the driver's seat of the carriage.

He took on the role of a coachman.

If outsiders find out...

The dignified elders of the Spirit Hall, and two titled Douluo who were renowned throughout the continent.

They actually gave the ride to a six-year-old child.

It will absolutely blow your mind.

"drive."

The ghost flicked the reins.

The four black-scaled dragon horses let out a low neigh.

The carriage drove smoothly out of Wuhun City.

Following the wide official road.

They sped off towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

Inside the train carriage.

Su Chen didn't waste any time appreciating the scenery along the way.

He closed his eyes.

I entered a deep meditative state immediately.

The Chaos God and Demon Technique quietly circulated within his body.

The black and white vortex in the dantian began to slowly rotate.

The free-floating soul energy in the surrounding air was drawn in.

They surged wildly into the carriage through the gaps in its walls.

Finally, it transformed into tiny streams of air that seeped into Su Chen's pores.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who were sitting outside, immediately noticed the commotion inside the carriage.

The two exchanged a glance.

His eyes were filled with horror.

"This predatory speed of soul power absorption is outrageous."

Yue Guan lowered his voice.

"An ordinary Great Soul Master's meditation is only enough to absorb soul power within two or three meters. What he's doing is creating an energy vortex. The soul power within ten meters of the carriage has been completely drained."

The ghostly voice was hoarse.

"His cultivation method is unique. It is definitely not any meditation method currently existing in the Spirit Hall. His Holiness the Pope has truly taken in an extraordinary monster."

Out of concern for Su Chen's safety.

Yue Guan separated a faint trace of his soul power.

They tried to penetrate the carriage to check on Su Chen's physical condition.

To prevent him from absorbing too much and damaging his meridians.

But his soul power had just touched Su Chen's body surface.

A powerful and incomparably substantial spiritual force rebounded instantly.

It directly pulverized Yue Guan's wisp of soul power.

Yue Guan's body jolted violently.

He withdrew his hand.

His face was a little pale.

"What an overbearing mental defense. It's like an impenetrable wall. Not even a trace of my detection can get through."

Yue Guan was amazed.

"Stop testing him. His Highness's spiritual power is naturally materialized. He knows his physical limits better than we do."

The ghostly figure reminded him.

Two days flew by in a blur of speed.

The black-scaled dragon horse ran tirelessly.

Noon on the third day.

The carriage finally slowed down.

They arrived at the Soul Hunter Town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

This is the last supply station for Soul Masters before they enter the forest.

The streets were lined with all kinds of stalls.

They sell antidotes, dry rations, and crude armor.

Mercenaries reeked of alcohol and blood everywhere.

The air was thick with the smells of sweat and barbecue.

When the Black Scale Dragon Horse pulled the Spirit Hall's luxurious carriage into the town's streets.

The once bustling town instantly fell silent.

Those mercenaries, who had lived on the edge of death, saw the symbol of supreme power on the carriage.

They all retreated to both sides of the street like mice seeing a cat.

This cleared a wide passage.

Everyone lowered their heads.

He dared not look directly at the carriage.

They were afraid of offending the important figures inside.

The carriage did not stop in the town.

Walk directly through the long street.

We drove into the boundless green forest ahead.

Crossing the town's boundary.

The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.

Towering trees block out the sun.

The lush foliage completely blocked out the sunlight.

Only a few spots of light managed to reach the moss-covered ground.

The air became humid and stuffy.

A faint, deep roar of beasts could be heard coming from the depths of the forest.

The carriage could no longer proceed through the dense forest.

The carriage stopped at the moon gate.

He walked to the front of the carriage and spoke respectfully.

"Your Highness, we have entered the Star Dou Great Forest. There are no roads ahead. We will have to proceed on foot."

The car door was pushed open.

Su Chen stepped out of the carriage.

He took a breath of the forest air, which carried a faint scent of decaying leaves.

The blood in my body began to boil subtly.

He untied the reins of the four black-scaled dragon horses.

Let them wait where they are.

Longma possesses the bloodline of a dragon.

Ordinary low-level soul beasts from the outer perimeter dare not approach them at all.

Su Chen stepped into the woodland covered with fallen leaves.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei followed half a step to his left and right.

The three of them concealed their presence.

But the invisible pressure still caused the surrounding snakes, insects, and rodents to flee in panic.

"Your Highness, Holy Son."

Yue Guan took out a sheepskin scroll.

It was marked with all sorts of complicated symbols.

"This is the outermost edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. It is mainly inhabited by ten-year-old and a small number of hundred-year-old soul beasts."

"According to intelligence from the Spirit Hall scouts, ten miles further east lies a sunny woodland inhabited by a group of Shadow Leopards."

"One of them just broke through eight hundred years of cultivation."

Yue Guan pointed to a red circle on the map.

"The Light and Shadow Leopard's attribute is pure light. Its temperament is relatively docile, and it produces less energy impact. For a first spirit ring, eight hundred years has already broken the limit and is the safest choice."

"Do you think we should go and capture this Shadow Leopard first?"

Yue Guan offered a conservative suggestion.

He still dared not let Su Chen try to summon a soul beast that was over 1,500 years old.

If something goes wrong.

The Pope would definitely skin them alive.

Su Chen stopped in his tracks.

He turned to look at Yue Guan.

His eyes were calm, yet they conveyed an undeniable determination.

"Elder Ju. Eight hundred years is not even enough to fill a tooth gap for me."

Su Chen extended his right hand.

He gripped a thick vine hanging from a large tree nearby with force, seemingly out of the air.

boom.

That tough vine was thicker than a thigh.

It was crushed into a pile of dust by sheer physical strength.

Green juice splattered everywhere.

"My body has been reshaped. It's strong enough to tear apart an ordinary hundred-year-old soul beast with one hand. You don't need to use Yu Xiaogang's stupid theories to measure me."

Su Chen withdrew his hand.

"The bloodline of the Light and Shadow Leopard is too inferior. It is unworthy of my Judgment Holy Sword. Do not mention a goal of less than 1,500 years again. Otherwise, this trip will have been in vain."

Yue Guan swallowed hard.

He looked at the vine that had been crushed.

The last shred of thought to persuade him vanished.

"Understood. Let's continue our investigation."

Yue Guan put away the sheepskin map.

"System. Activate High-Level Soul Beast Precision Radar."

Su Chen gave the command in his mind.

"Ding. Radar activated. Initiating scan of the Starry Sky Forest region."

A semi-transparent circular radar interface immediately appeared at the edge of Su Chen's vision.

Countless tiny points of light lit up on the radar.

Most of them are white and yellow light spots.

These are low-level soul beasts representing ten years and a hundred years.

"Filter out all targets from 1,500 years ago."

"Filter out targets that are not of the extreme light or extreme darkness attributes."

"Filter out targets with ordinary bloodlines."

Su Chen issued three screening instructions in succession.

Ninety-nine percent of the light spots on the radar interface disappeared instantly.

The once crowded screen is now completely empty.

Only a few faint purple dots remained, flickering at the far edge.

"You really can't find anything good on the outskirts."

Su Chen was not discouraged.

"Keep going deeper. The spirit beasts here are too young."

Su Chen gave orders to the two people behind him.

The three quickened their pace.

They moved among the towering trees.

The further in you go.

The trees grew taller and taller.

The light also became dimmer and dimmer.

The feeling of oppression in the surrounding air was noticeably increased.

Occasionally, a few foolish, centuries-old soul beasts would attempt to attack them.

Before Su Chen could even make a move...

The ghost merely glanced at her coldly.

A trace of the immense pressure from the titled Douluo was released.

Those soul beasts were directly crushed to death by their own bodies.

It turned into a sky full of blood mist.

It took a full half-day.

They ventured nearly forty miles into the forest.

This place is already considered to be deep in the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Approaching the mixing zone.

Powerful soul beasts of the thousand-year level or above may appear at any time.

Just then.

Suddenly, an invisible, sharp alarm sounded from the radar interface at the edge of Su Chen's line of sight.

A bright spot that was almost purple in color.

It entered the radar's scanning range without warning.

And it started flashing violently in the upper right corner of the light screen.

Su Chen stopped in his tracks.

He immediately focused his mind on that point of light.

The system's detailed data then unfolds.

"Ding. Target found to be extremely compatible."

"Species: Dark Nightmare Tiger"

Year: 2,500.

"Bloodline: Extremely rare mutation. Possesses a faint trace of ancestral bloodline from the ancient demonic Dark God Tiger. Attacks are accompanied by extremely powerful soul-shaking and flesh-corroding effects."

"Attribute Compatibility: Ultimate Darkness. Compatible with the God-Slaying Demon Spear."

Su Chen's eyes snapped open.

A glint of fanatical fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

A rare mutated bloodline with a history of 2,500 years.

The true combat power of this soul beast.

It is absolutely no less than an ordinary soul beast that is 3,500 years old.

Once absorption is successful.

It can not only perfectly activate the first soul skill.

It may even significantly enhance the original power of the God-Slaying Demon Spear.

This is simply a top-quality soul ring tailor-made for him.

"Found it."

Su Chen turned to look at Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

His tone carried an undeniable command.

"Southeast direction. Fifteen li away."

"There is a mutated thousand-year-old soul beast. It is over two thousand five hundred years old."

"Full speed ahead. We can't let it get away."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance.

They both saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes.

They were titled Douluo.

Even with their immense spiritual perception, they failed to detect the presence of a thousand-year-old soul beast fifteen miles away.

Su Chen was able to give such accurate directions and years.

This can only be attributed to his abnormal, materialized mental power.

"Yes, ma'am."

The two elders dared not hesitate.

The ghostly figure released a cloud of black mist.

It enveloped Su Chen inside.

The three of them transformed into three streaks of light.

They sped towards their destination at a terrifying speed through the dense forest.
