In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 12 One year and three months later, hunting for spirit rings!

The deceased is like a husband who does not want to leave day or night.

In a daze, one year and three months had passed since Wang Zhao awakened his martial soul.

Inside the library, the boy flipped through the books, the crisp sound of his fingertips clicking away could be heard.

"The so-called 'sun and moon shine and the golden dragon turns' is actually just relying on the fusion of soul power to release the light energy that Luo Sanpao originally lacked, thus making him temporarily evolve into a golden holy dragon."

"Thus, my path forward is already quite clear. As for how to take it a step further based on the Golden Holy Dragon..."

Upon reading this, Wang Zhao suddenly shook his head and chuckled.

Jinlin hasn't even become a Golden Holy Dragon yet; it's not wise to be overly ambitious.

It was midday.

Several months ago, after Bibi Dong helplessly admitted that she could no longer teach Wang Zhao much about martial spirit knowledge, he spent increasingly more time in the library.

As for Qian Renxue, she could still only accompany Wang Zhao in the evenings. After all, with Qian Daoliu around, her studies were much more demanding than Wang Zhao's.

Just as Wang Zhao was about to close the book "Biographies of Mainland Figures" in his hand, he suddenly received a barely perceptible secret transmission line—

"Let's go back and pack our things, then we'll head to the Star Dou Great Forest."

It's a butterfly!

Wang Zhao's eyes lit up slightly, and a rare look of excitement appeared on his face.

It turns out that with the support of Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's dual resources, he had already cultivated his soul power to level 10 a month ago. The reason he hasn't obtained his first soul ring yet is because he is searching for the whereabouts of a rare soul beast.

Now, the fact that Die Dong used her soul power to transmit her voice to inform him meant that there was finally news about that soul beast.

Without much thought, Wang Zhao got up, tidied himself up, greeted the old man at the entrance of the library, and then eagerly returned to his residence.

At this moment, a carriage had already stopped in front of the mansion, and Die was sitting in the driver's seat, waving to Wang Zhao, signaling him to come over.

"Weren't you telling me to come back and pack my things first? Why did you get in the car?"

Without hesitation, Wang Zhao jumped onto the carriage and naturally sat down next to Die, then began to inquire.

Over the course of the year, he and Die had become quite familiar with each other. Although Die usually maintained a lukewarm demeanor, he knew that was just her personality, and he couldn't simply expect her to change, could he?

Furthermore, Wang Zhao expressed that she also inexplicably liked Sister Die, who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

"I don't know when you'll be back."

At that moment, a voice came from inside the carriage, answering Wang Zhao's question for Die.

Wang Zhao was taken aback. He recognized the voice of the little teacher, so he turned around and lifted the curtain. Sure enough, he saw Sister Dong'er sitting inside.

"Sister Dong'er? Didn't you say that Sister Die would take me to hunt for spirit rings, but aren't you usually too busy to come?"

"I just happened to have some free time."

After Bibi Dong succinctly explained one sentence, she fell silent.

Butterfly continued to "dive underwater".

Wang Zhao... was forced to remain silent.

As a result, an eerie silence fell over the carriage, which gradually dissipated only after Die began to drive forward.

It is worth mentioning that.

Wang Zhao did not choose to enter the carriage, but continued to stay by Sister Die's side.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go in, but rather that, starting from some point, Bibi Dong suddenly became somewhat "waryed" towards him, the child. At least he could no longer act as recklessly as before, relying on his appearance to pretend to be young without restraint.

It's a miracle that I can still call out "Sister Dong'er" without getting beaten up.

Without further ado, the group quickly left Wuhun City.

They encountered no obstacles along the way.

But just then, a loud bang suddenly echoed in the sky—

Countless people looked up at the same time, including Wang Zhao and Die, and even Bibi Dong, who peeked out from the carriage.

A golden rainbow of light shot into the sky from the Papal Palace, accompanied by two powerful figures standing on the void. One of them was completely hidden in a black robe and mist, while the other had an eerie appearance and skin that was even whiter than that of an ordinary woman. They were none other than the esteemed figures of the Spirit Hall, the two titled Douluo elders, Chrysanthemum and Ghost.

Therefore, it is not difficult to guess the identity of that golden rainbow light; it is none other than Qian Xunji.

Upon seeing this scene, Wang Zhao's brow twitched, and some speculations arose in his mind.

It can't be that much of a coincidence...

He thought to himself, but outwardly, he appropriately expressed his surprise and longing before turning his gaze away and reminding Die to continue driving.

Whether this scene foreshadows the start of a storm or not, it is not something he can interfere with for the time being.

All he needs to do is quietly accumulate strength, and then unleash it in a moment of great effort!

……

On the way to the Star Dou Great Forest, Bibi Dong, seemingly having nothing better to do, asked Wang Zhao about the details of his first spirit ring hunting target.

Wang Zhao did not hide anything and immediately began to explain.

His target for this trip is a kind of soul beast called "Cloud-Piercing White Python".

This soul beast can be considered a unique creature in the world of soul beasts. Although it is written as "python", it contains the bloodline of the legendary white dragon. Although it is closely related to "dragon", it does not have any particularly powerful strength.

Let alone fighting opponents of higher levels, it can't even defeat many soul beasts of the same level.

It's really terrible and unusual.

Bibi Dong listened with amazement, glancing at the cheap student and thinking that he hadn't wasted his time in the library, as he even knew about such rare soul beasts.

He does have some of the flair of Xiao Gang back then, but that's about it...

What Bibi Dong didn't notice was that, from some point onwards, she subconsciously liked to compare Wang Zhao and Yu Xiaogang.

And whenever she makes comparisons, she habitually avoids thinking things through and simply believes wishfully that Yu Xiaogang is perfect and unmatched.

This is simply unbelievable, utterly absurd.

Let's leave that aside for now.

What Bibi Dong was curious about was, since Wang Zhao described the Cloud White Python so poorly, why was he so determined to choose it as his first soul ring, given his unwillingness to settle for mediocrity?

You should know that in order to help Wang Zhao find this kind of soul beast, she sent her trusted confidants to search in the Star Dou Great Forest for many months before finding only a handful.

This is without considering whether the age is suitable as the first spirit ring.

This shows just how rare they are.

Wang Zhao was unaware of what Bibi Dong was thinking and simply continued his introduction.

"The 'Beast Classic' records: 'The white python has no body, but takes the clouds as its form; it does not bite or devour anything, thus it is a symbol of auspiciousness and is loved by all beasts.' In other words, although this kind of spirit beast is not powerful itself, it has many friends. The few threats to our mission come from those spirit beasts that may be guarding the white python in the clouds."

That's what they say.

However, Wang Zhao did not believe that he would be harmed by Bibi Dong, who had the strength of a Soul Douluo, and Sister Die, who had the strength of a Soul Saint, protecting him closely.
