Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

"Master...Master!"

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's order, Xiao Wu, who was beside her, glanced at Su Mo. Although she still harbored hatred for Su Mo deep in her eyes, she still obediently called out "Master" to Su Mo.

"It seems Sister Rakshasa has trained her to be very obedient!"

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's address, Su Mo felt a surge of intense satisfaction.

So Su Mo gave Bibi Dong a big compliment.

Ever since Xiao Wu's soul caused trouble for Su Mo during the Soul Master Competition and was controlled by Bibi Dong, Xiao Wu's soul has been unable to return to her soul bone.

After that, Su Mo originally planned to erase Xiao Wu's soul as well, but Bibi Dong suggested leaving Xiao Wu's soul behind.

From that time onward, Bibi Dong began to manipulate Xiao Wu's soul.

Su Mo knew this and let Bibi Dong do as she pleased. However, Xiao Wu's will was quite strong, and it was only now that Bibi Dong had managed to initially train Xiao Wu successfully.

"Of course! You can try ordering her to do anything now, and she'll absolutely obey!"

Bibi Dong looked proud when she heard Su Mo's praise.

"Then I really should give it a try..."

Su Mo also became interested when he heard Bibi Dong's words.

Su Mo then tried it on Xiao Wu and found that it was just as Bibi Dong had said. No matter what he asked Xiao Wu to do, she did not continue but obediently did as he asked.

However, while Xiao Wu was doing all this, she still harbored hatred for Su Mo in her eyes.

Su Mo even wanted to ask Bibi Dong how she managed to train Xiao Wu, managing to keep her obedient while preserving the hatred in her heart.

However, Su Mo thought about it and decided against it. He wasn't very interested in this kind of thing, and he wasn't particularly interested in personally training a woman.

Su Mo continued to cultivate, prioritizing improving his strength.

Su Mo's eighth of the Nine Trials of the Sea God is completely different from Tang San in the original novel.

Therefore, Su Mo dared not slack off at all, because he felt that his mission was really difficult, and if he did not work hard, he might really fail.

Therefore, in the time that followed, Su Mo devoted himself to cultivation, working even more diligently than before.

Time passed quietly as Su Mo cultivated.

Three years later, the battle between the two empires continued, but the two sides had long been locked in a stalemate and confrontation, and large-scale battles were becoming less frequent.

hum-

On this day, Su Mo's soul power level finally broke through to level 90.

An astonishing soul power rippled through Su Mo's body. The moment he opened his eyes, golden light shone from them, flowing with a dense power of the Sea God.

"Finally, I've reached level 90!"

Su Mo stood up and clenched his fist. He could clearly feel that his soul power had undergone a transformation after breaking through level 90.

"This is just the beginning. The real transformation will begin after you absorb your ninth spirit ring. Both your spirit power and physical attributes will be greatly enhanced!"

"There is a huge chasm between a Title Douluo and a Soul Douluo, which is simply insurmountable for ordinary people!"

"Only a Soul Master with your talent could defeat a Title Douluo while still at the Soul Douluo or even Soul Saint level!"

Bibi Dong appeared in front of Su Mo and smiled at him.

Bibi Dong was very happy to see Su Mo successfully break through to level 90.

In this way, Su Mo can start attaching soul rings to her.

She has a lot of experience with this kind of thing.

Once a Soul Master reaches the Title Douluo level, further advancement becomes significantly more difficult, far exceeding the levels achieved before.

However, the existence of twin martial souls is a kind of bug, as titled Douluo can use their second martial soul to absorb soul rings to quickly increase their soul power level.

"Hmm, it's time to collect all the spirit rings I have!"

Su Mo said with a smile.

Besides the ninth spirit ring of the Soul Hunter Spear, Su Mo also plans to collect all the spirit rings of the Rakshasa God Martial Soul this time.

Besides rapidly increasing his soul power level, this was also a task he needed to complete.

His eighth trial as the Sea God required him to collect all the spirit rings and spirit bones.

He's not in a hurry for the soul bone right now; all he's missing is a torso bone.

After killing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King will naturally offer him a soul bone, and it will definitely be the torso bone that he needs.

As for spirit rings, one spirit ring slot will be reserved so that it can be absorbed from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's spirit ring later.

brush--

Without saying anything to anyone else, Su Mo's figure flashed and disappeared directly from the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

When Su Mo reappeared, he had already arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Hunting for spirit rings is best done in the Star Dou Great Forest, where you can find more spirit beasts with higher cultivation levels.

Especially Da Ming and Er Ming, Su Mo would never forget the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, Da Ming and Er Ming, who escaped last time.

If Su Mo successfully hunts two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, it will definitely bring him a significant boost to his soul power.

After arriving at the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Mo kept flashing in the sky above the Star Dou Great Forest, searching for the figure of a powerful soul beast.

Besides Da Ming and Er Ming, Su Mo also has no intention of letting go of any other powerful soul beasts.

He didn't intend to pursue all spirit rings having to be 100,000 years old. Su Mo didn't really care about that. As long as he could become a god, the quality of the spirit rings in the early stages didn't really matter much.

Before becoming a god, no matter how high the quality of the spirit rings absorbed are, they only improve the soul master's combat power before becoming a god.

Of course, those with stronger spirit ring configurations will also be stronger initially after becoming gods.

However, after becoming a god, what you cultivate is divine power. The soul ring configuration you accumulated before only makes you stronger in the early stages of becoming a god.

Whether a person is strong or weak after becoming a god depends on their cultivation and the improvement of their divine power after becoming a god.

This time, Su Mo hunted for spirit rings without troubling Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

Even if Da Ming and Er Ming joined forces, Su Mo was now confident that he could defeat them.

Although he had only just broken through to the Title Douluo level and had not yet obtained his ninth spirit ring, Su Mo's strength was still far beyond that of an ordinary Title Douluo.

Even when he was a Soul Saint, Su Mo was able to defeat the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians, who possessed the strength of a Title Douluo.

Su Mo is definitely stronger now.

Of course, if things really can't be handled, Su Mo can bring Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo over to help at any time.

brush brush --

Su Mo's figure flickered continuously in the sky above the Star Dou Great Forest. Every time he passed through an area, Su Mo would scan it with his divine sense, and he could sense what level of soul beasts were in that area.

Su Mo's perception ability is now no weaker than Bibi Dong's, so he no longer needs Bibi Dong to act as his vision spirit.

hum-

However, Bibi Dong obviously wouldn't stand idly by. Sure enough, Bibi Dong appeared before Su Mo with Xiao Wu's soul.

"Little rabbit, you're quite familiar with the Star Dou Great Forest, and you're also quite familiar with the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python. Where do you think they might be hiding in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

After Bibi Dong brought Xiao Wu out, she immediately asked Xiao Wu a question.

What appears to be a question is actually an order to Xiao Wu.

"Da Ming and Er Ming..."

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Xiao Wu's expression changed slightly.

Xiao Wu knew very well that Su Mo and Bibi Dong were looking for Da Ming and Er Ming at this time because they wanted to hunt them.

If possible, Xiao Wu certainly wouldn't want to help Su Mo find Da Ming and Er Ming.

"What? You don't know either?"

But when Bibi Dong asked her again in that assertive tone, Xiao Wu felt a chill run down her spine and involuntarily replied, "I know a few places, but I'm not sure if Daming and Erming will go there!"

"Very good, then Xiao Wu, you will show us the way!"

Su Mo's expression brightened slightly after hearing Xiao Wu's words.

The Star Dou Great Forest is quite vast, and having Xiao Wu's help would be ideal.

"Yes, Master!"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Xiao Wu dared not disobey and quickly agreed.

Following Xiao Wu's guidance, Su Mo continued his search in the Star Dou Great Forest.

This time, with Xiao Wu's guidance, the search was targeted and directed, rather than a aimless, carpet-like search.

"We found one!"

Two hours later, with Xiao Wu's help, Su Mo indeed found his target.

However, there was only one, and it was Erming.

"roar--"

Sensing movement above him, Erming roared angrily and looked up to see who was so bold as to fly above him.

"It's you!"

But when Erming saw Su Mo's appearance clearly, his eyes immediately turned red.

Of course, Erming cannot speak human language yet; it communicates information through mental means.

Seeing that Su Mo appeared alone, Er Ming's fighting spirit ignited quickly. If Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were there, it would definitely have run away immediately.

But since only Su Mo came, it certainly didn't think Su Mo posed much of a threat.

Under these circumstances, Erming naturally could not suppress the hatred in his heart and wanted to kill Su Mo to avenge Xiaowu.

"Die, humans!"

"Give me back Xiao Wu's life!"

"roar--"

So, after Erming roared, he swung his arms and leaped towards Su Mo.

"What a brainless beast!"

Seeing this, Su Mo simply smiled coldly.

The fact that the other party didn't run away clearly suited his wishes.

Even if Erming wanted to run away, Su Mo wouldn't let it get away.

"Perfect timing! I'll use you to test my newly awakened ability!"

"Space-Time Realm: Arena of Life and Death!"

hum-

Seeing Erming attacking him, Su Mo's eyes flashed, and he instantly unleashed his spacetime domain.

However, after Su Mo broke through to level 90, Su Mo's spacetime domain also evolved, giving rise to a brand new skill.

That was the arena of life and death that the Dark Demon God Tiger originally possessed.

hum-

As soon as Su Mo unleashed his Arena of Life and Death, a powerful vortex of devouring energy was created centered on Su Mo's body and continued to spread outward.

First, Su Mo himself was swallowed up by the vortex.

Then Erming, who had jumped up, was also quickly enveloped by the black vortex and eventually swallowed up as well.

brush--

As soon as Erming was enveloped, the black vortex stopped spreading instantly, then suddenly contracted, and finally the entire black vortex disappeared into the sky above the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along with them, Su Mo and Er Ming also disappeared.

"roar--"

"Damn it, where am I?"

Erming, who was pulled into the arena of life and death by the black vortex, was immediately shocked and furious, looking around in horror.

It didn't understand why it had been dragged into this strange place when it was clearly attacking Su Mo.

Looking around, it seems to be an arena, a ring.

But it clearly remembered that there was no such place in the Star Dou Great Forest!

"Welcome to my arena of life and death!"

"Once we're in here, there's no way we can leave unless it's a fight to the death!"

Su Mo appeared in front of Er Ming, calmly smiling as she introduced herself.

The life-and-death arena that Su Mo has created is not as powerful as the one used by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, because Su Mo cannot control time within it to make time rewind for those who enter the arena.

What Su Mo can do is similar to the previous spacetime domain, allowing him to freely travel and teleport within it, and control the flow of time around himself or his enemies.

Of course, Su Mo is now able to do something even better than before.

It just hasn't reached the level of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which directly reverses the age and cultivation level of its enemies.

The most useful aspect of this life-or-death arena for Su Mo is that once an enemy is pulled in, they cannot leave.

He could only leave if the enemies inside killed him.

Or Su Mo could let the other party out on his own initiative.

The claim that only if one of them dies can they leave is only relevant to the enemies who were pulled in.

"Damn humans!"

"Then go die!"

"roar--"

Erming didn't know where this place was, but after hearing Su Mo's words, all it needed to know was that killing Su Mo would allow it to leave.

boom--

Erming slammed his fist into the ground, and the gravity field expanded outward from him, quickly enveloping the entire arena in its gravity domain.

Su Mo felt a sudden, heavy weight on his body, and then his figure plummeted towards the ground.

"roar--"

Seeing this, Erming swung his heavy fist and slammed it at Su Mo.

brush~

Before Erming's attack could even touch Su Mo, Su Mo's figure vanished in a flash.

"Hey big guy, look who's this?"

Su Mo appeared behind Er Ming and called out to him.

"Soul Bone Skill - Explosive Eight-Stage Throw!"

After saying that, Su Mo activated the soul skill of the Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Bone in his right arm, the Eight-Stage Throw.

hum-

After Su Mo unleashed his Soul Bone Skill, Xiao Wu appeared beside him and attacked Er Ming.

"Sister Xiaowu..."

Previously, Xiao Wu was in a spirit state, which Er Ming could not see. Now, with the blessing of the spirit skill Eight-Stage Throw, Er Ming can finally see Xiao Wu's figure.

What Erming couldn't accept was that its little sister, Xiaowu, was attacking it.
