Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 67 Choosing the Third Soul Ring After Breaking Through Level 30

The eye of ice and fire, at the center.

Since Nan Feihuang awakened the ice and fire power of the Fangtian Halberd, this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has become the best place for him to practice his skills. Here, his soul power circulates at an unusually fast speed.

Because he had consumed the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb, he was also the only person who could stay in the center of the scorching Yang Spring and the extremely cold Ice Spring for a long time to cultivate.

Today, Nan Feihuang's bottleneck has loosened, and he is using the power of this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire to break through his current realm.

On the shore, Dugu Bo secretly marveled at the little monster's extraordinary talent; at only ten years old, he was about to break through the level 30 barrier.

His granddaughter is already considered a genius, and she only broke through to a higher realm around the age of fourteen or fifteen.

Countless Soul Masters are stuck at level 29 their entire lives, unable to make any further progress.

The Soul Master is the first watershed in a Soul Master's cultivation. The earlier one breaks through to the Soul Master level, the more beneficial it will be for subsequent cultivation.

Nan Feihuang sat cross-legged, with the Wufang Tianji floating behind him, its two blades constantly absorbing the surrounding ice and fire power.

Finally, Nan Feihuang suddenly opened his eyes, and with a surge of soul power, he caused the surrounding spring water to explode.

Then, he slowly finished his exercise, stood up, and appeared to have grown a little taller. Although he was only ten years old, he was already close to 1.7 meters tall, like a handsome young man.

His muscles were firm but not bulging, giving the impression of restrained power.

With a quick drape of his clothes, Nan Feihuang leaped to Dugu Bo's side. "Old Poison Master, I'll have to trouble you this time. My third soul ring might take five thousand years or more to grow."

The body-refining effect of the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass is much stronger than that of ordinary whale glue, which is why Tang San in the original story dared to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring beyond his level.

Currently, Nan Feihuang is only at the third level of the Soul Ring. Even if he doesn't directly absorb a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring to be on the safe side, he should at least absorb a five-thousand-year Soul Ring, otherwise it would be a waste of his physique.

"Hehe, five thousand years, you really have a big appetite. But if it were you, it wouldn't be impossible to give it a try," Dugu Bo said.

Under normal circumstances, Dugu Bo would never agree to help hunt down a soul ring that is over 5,000 years old. However, Nan Feihuang himself is a freak with a second soul ring that is over 5,000 years old. After eating those two immortal herbs, Dugu Bo clearly felt that Nan Feihuang's physical strength had far surpassed that of a Soul Master.

He said he could absorb a five-thousand-year-old soul ring, so it probably wasn't just a rumor.

"Then I'll leave it to you this time. For my third ring, I want a soul skill that can enhance myself," Nan Feihuang said.

He has both single-target attacks and crowd control abilities.

The Crescent Slash has a true damage effect, and can be used even at the God level.

The Eight Gates Golden Lock has extremely high growth potential and is a god-tier skill for crushing weaker opponents.

Nan Feihuang wants to save stronger attacks and controls, and even area-of-effect damage, for the later stages, to be introduced with stronger soul rings. If he wants a skill that can still be used in the later stages, like Crescent Slash and Eight Gates, then an enhanced skill is the best option.

Just like Dai Mubai's White Tiger Vajra Transformation, it's a great skill regardless of the era.

Otherwise, if he learns area-of-effect damage skills early on, Nan Feihuang is only worried that if the skills don't have true damage effects, then the skills won't be powerful enough and will just be useless in the later stages.

Dugu Bo nodded. "Hmm, not a bad idea. Many offensive Soul Masters will get skills to strengthen themselves in the early stages, hoping that when they become Soul Saints, Soul Douluos, or even Title Douluos, their first few Soul Skills won't be useless despite being impressive."

"Come with me. I've lived in this Sunset Forest for decades. I dare say that few people know this place better than me. As far as I know, there's a kind of soul beast that should be quite suitable for you." Dugu Bo said, taking Nan Feihuang with him, and flew out of the poison array of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Like the Star Dou Great Forest, Sunset Forest is the largest gathering place for soul beasts on the Douluo Continent. The strength of the top-level soul beasts here is probably not as terrifying as that in the center of the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest. No 100,000-year soul beasts have been found yet. Even if there are any, there are probably only one or two at most, and they are all very reclusive, making them even more mysterious than the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

However, the number and strength of ordinary thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are not much less than those of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Dugu Bo led Nan Feihuang deep into the Sunset Forest, stopping only when they were close to the area where the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast was located.

Nan Feihuang's eyes narrowed; it seemed that the soul beast Dugu Bo was preparing to find for him was no ordinary creature.

He certainly wouldn't take too much risk absorbing the third ring of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, which means that there are also thousand-year-old soul beasts living in the area where this ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is located.

A thousand-year-old soul beast that dares to mingle among a group of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts is never a simple character. For example, a unique species like the Titan Giant Ape dares to fight against a ten-thousand-year-old one and win.

This kind of spirit ring is generally not easy to absorb.

It can only be said that Dugu Bo was more confident in Nan Feihuang's physical abilities than he was in Nan Feihuang himself.

There is a canyon in the Sunset Forest, where strong winds blow. Even a Soul King would have difficulty moving around here. At this moment, Nan Feihuang and Dugu Bo are walking side by side in this place.

Looking at Nan Feihuang, who was moving around as if on flat ground, Dugu Bo said with satisfaction, "Not bad, Little Flying General. You can move around here so smoothly. Your body is stronger than I thought. In that case, you should be able to safely absorb the soul beast that I found for you."

"Old Poisoner, what kind of soul beast did you find for me?" Nan Feihuang asked curiously.

Dugu Bo didn't answer directly, but instead looked around and asked, "Do you know what this canyon is called?"

"I don't know." Nan Feihuang shook his head. This was his first time here, so how could he know anyone?

Dugu Bo spoke up, "Behemoth Canyon!"

"Behemoth!" Nan Feihuang exclaimed in surprise. "Old Poisoner, did you find me the legendary Behemoth? But I heard that this kind of soul beast has long been extinct."

"They are extinct. Whether any still exist in this world, I don't know. But there shouldn't be any living Behemoths in this Sunset Forest. Although this canyon is called Behemoth Canyon, it's only because I heard that Behemoths once lived here in ancient times. In reality, what lives here now are just some bear-like spirit beasts," Dugu Bo explained. "Behemoths are bear-like but not quite. Besides their own kind, they also mate with certain bear-like spirit beasts. This has led to the emergence of non-Behemoths with Behemoth bloodlines. For example, among bear-like spirit beasts, the incredibly powerful Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan is so strong because of its Golden Behemoth bloodline."

"The soul beast we're looking for today is called the Blood Demon Mad Bear. It's fire-attribute, also carries a trace of Behemoth blood, and has inherited the Behemoth race's racial skill, Berserk. You wanted an enhancement skill, right? Among the enhancement skills I've seen, there are very few that can rival Berserk."

"So it's the Blood Demon Mad Bear!" Nan Feihuang immediately understood. He had heard of this kind of soul beast before, and he knew very well that the Martial Spirit Hall's nine elders, Demon Bear Douluo, had the Blood Demon Mad Bear as his Martial Spirit.

All I can say is that Dugu Bo's choice was brilliant!
