Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 35 Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear

The delicate, porcelain-doll-like girl stood there blankly, her body covered in blood from the explosion.

She witnessed her own brother explode before her eyes; even on the Ascension Platform, such a shock was considerable. Moreover, the girl before her wasn't very mature.

Xie Xie had appeared before the girl without her noticing. He brandished the Light Dragon Dagger and sighed softly, "You can't blame anyone else. Your brother really deserved a beating. You should be glad this is the Spirit Ascension Platform. Otherwise... Alright, enough of that. Are you going to leave on your own, or should I take you out?"

The girl stared at him blankly for a while, seemingly dazed, then turned to look at the nonchalant young man not far away.

But when she met the boy's calm eyes, her heart suddenly trembled.

"what!"

She screamed, but was then teleported away.

The spiritual energy halos left behind by Xu Xiaoyu when she killed other soul masters and soul beasts remained in place. However, it was clear that most of these spiritual energy halos were on the girl.

Most of the spiritual energy halos flew to Lin Ci, while the rest were evenly distributed among the other five people.

"What bad luck." Zhang Yangzi looked at Lin Ci and said, "Speaking of which, isn't this a bit too cruel to that girl?"

And indeed, she watched helplessly as her brother was blown to pieces right in front of her.

Gu Yue shook her head and said coldly, "That's still too lenient."

Lin Ci was somewhat surprised. "This is considered merciful?"

Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, as this should be a normal thing in the Ascension Platform, it couldn't really be called merciful.

"They should all be blown up," Gu Yue said very seriously. "They're asking for it."

Her words were concise, yet clearly expressed her stance. In her opinion, such suicidal acts should be eliminated outright.

The group rested for a while, and an hour had passed. They had successfully completed their final exams, so it was time to let loose and explore.

The group continued deeper into the forest, this time without deliberately avoiding any groups of spirit beasts. In fact, they wanted to test their strength by encountering the powerful spirit beasts in the forest.

After all, they had already dealt with the most disgusting human-faced demon spider in the primary Spirit Ascension Platform. So unless they encountered that guy, there shouldn't be many soul beasts that could threaten the six people who had gathered together.

"Someone suddenly changed direction and came from here. Three of them, two men and one woman, are heading this way at a very fast speed. They look to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, one is at the third ring, and the other two are at the second ring. Two of them show signs of absorbing spiritual energy."

During non-combat periods, Lin Ci had already deactivated his third soul skill, as it consumed too much soul power. Instead, Zhang Yangzi used his soul spirit, the Black Eagle, to observe from the sky.

But just as Zhang Yangzi finished speaking, a red light suddenly streaked across the sky in the distance, shooting straight towards Zhang Yangzi on the tree branch.

Zhang Yangzi jumped directly down from the tree, spreading his wings to slow his descent.

The red light was incredibly fast, grazing past Zhang Yangzi's clothes before exploding into a large crater in the ground with a loud "boom." Amidst the rising dust, everyone immediately became alert and assumed fighting stances.

Xie Xie instantly disappeared behind a large tree, while the other five stood side by side, leaning against the tree where Xie Xie was, looking in the direction of the approaching person.

The three people, two men and one woman, were slightly taken aback when they saw each other's faces.

Of the two boys and one girl opposite him, he didn't recognize the two boys, who were about fifteen or sixteen years old, but he did recognize the girl. It was quite a coincidence, really; she was Mu Xi.

At this moment, a fireball resembling the sun hovered above Mu Xi's head; the red light from just now was clearly emitted by her.

It must be said that Mu Xi's Radiant Sun Martial Soul is incredibly powerful, practically a long-range cannon. In terms of attack power alone, it surpasses any of Gu Yue's elemental abilities. What surprised Tang Wulin even more was that Mu Xi's Soul Rings were no longer two, but three. A Three-Ring Soul Master!

"It's you?" Mu Xi was also stunned when she saw him, but the bright sunlight above her head also dimmed a bit.

"Senior sister!?"

Before Tang Wulin could say anything, Mu Xi, panting, stepped over him and ran straight behind him, as did the two people beside him.

Judging from their movements, they seem to be running away, just like the Windblade Wolves they encountered at the beginning.

"What's going on?" Tang Wulin was still a little confused and hadn't reacted yet.

Perhaps feeling a pang of pity, Mu Xi turned her head slightly and still reminded her, "Run!"

Just as Tang Wulin was completely confused, Lin Ci said in a deep voice, "There are soul beasts chasing them."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Lin Ci hadn't finished speaking, but everyone had already realized that the soul beast that the three of them couldn't handle had appeared. And the fact that the three of them were suddenly heading towards the six of them meant only one thing: they were going to use them to hold off the soul beast so that the three of them could escape.

"Despicable!" Gu Yue snorted coldly, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.

Tang Wulin's expression also turned grim; clearly, even someone as intelligent as him had figured it out.

Before anyone could react, a heavy sense of oppression came from inside the forest.

Gu Yue frowned slightly, and the fireball shot out, crashing straight into the grass.

Just as the fireball was about to enter the forest, suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by, and the fireball exploded, turning into a ball of fire that scattered in the air.

A majestic figure emerged from the shadows. Upon seeing it, Xie Xie gasped instantly, simultaneously drawing his Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger into his hands, his body trembling slightly.

The towering figure was over three meters tall, covered in dark golden fur. Its eyes were devoid of emotion, filled with coldness and cruelty. Its arms were exceptionally large and thick, with both front paws being dark golden blades, each over a meter long. Even as its massive arms were outstretched, the claws merely moved through the air alongside its body, producing a soft hissing sound.

"Dark Gold Devil Claw Bear!"

Xie Xie gasped softly, his voice filled with barely concealed tension. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was renowned among soul beasts, possessing formidable strength in attack, defense, and speed. It was terrifying in close combat and also boasted explosive power at range.

A hundred-year-old spirit beast can crush a thousand-year-old spirit beast; even the equally powerful human-faced demon spider among hundred-year-old spirit beasts cannot withstand a single slap from it. Moreover, the one before us appears to have a cultivation level that is definitely not low.

In the beginner-level Spirit Ascension Platform, the one thing they absolutely didn't want to encounter was this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. It's no exaggeration to say that it was the absolute king of the beginner-level Spirit Ascension Platform, an absolutely invincible existence.
