Douluo: Son of Destruction of Life, Supreme Creator!

"Who?"

He was somewhat surprised.

He was taken back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School by Gu Rong when he was a child and raised there. Apart from a few people in the school, he had almost no other friends.

After arriving in Soto City, he lived a very secluded life, rarely interacting with anyone except when going to the Great Soul Arena.

Who could be knocking on the door at this hour?

People from Shrek Academy?

Gu Linyuan stood up, casually draped his black robe over his shoulders, and walked towards the courtyard gate.

……

Open the courtyard gate.

The moonlight, like water, spilled onto the bluestone path in front of the door.

A young girl stood outside the door, the moonlight casting a long shadow of her slender figure.

Gu Linyuan's gaze fell on her, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The girl wore a tight black leather jacket and pants, which perfectly outlined her already well-developed and graceful figure. The neckline of the leather jacket was not high, but it revealed a section of her snow-white collarbone, which gleamed like jade in the moonlight.

Her waist was so slender it could be grasped in one hand, but then it suddenly opened up into a beautiful curve. Tight leather pants hugged her straight and long legs, and she wore a pair of black ankle boots. She looked like a black panther ready to pounce.

But what truly captivates the eye is her face.

Her skin was very white, not in a sickly pale way, but like the finest white jade, with a faint, lustrous sheen. The moonlight shone on her face, as if gilding her delicate features with a layer of silver veil.

Her features were exquisite and aloof, her eyebrows like distant mountains, and her eyes like cold stars.

Her lips were thin and a pale pink. When she wasn't smiling, they were slightly pursed, giving her an unapproachable air.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down to her waist, the ends curling slightly as it swayed gently in the night breeze. A few wisps of hair framing her forehead obscured half of it, which only served to accentuate her serene and otherworldly beauty.

She stood there in the moonlight, her black leather coat blending into the night, only her snow-white face and light-colored eyes standing out.

Gu Linyuan looked at the girl in front of him and already had his answer.

In Soto City, there seems to be only one girl with such striking physical features and such a cool and aloof temperament.

Zhu Zhuqing.

One of the Shrek Seven Devils, and the owner of the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul.

Gu Linyuan was very surprised.

He wouldn't be surprised if Xiao Wu or Ning Rongrong came looking for him. After all, both of them have extremely unconventional personalities.

But Zhu Zhuqing...

What a rare guest!

What does she want from me?

Gu Linyuan leaned against the doorframe, his black robe casually draped over his shoulders, revealing a tight-fitting black undershirt. He crossed his arms, looking down at the girl outside the door, his sharply defined face clearly visible in the moonlight.

"Is something wrong?"

Gu Linyuan crossed his arms and asked.

Zhu Zhuqing raised her head, her light-colored eyes looking at Gu Linyuan.

Under the moonlight, the boy's face looked younger than she had imagined.

It wasn't the kind of delicate, almost effeminate beauty, but rather a sharp, angular, and rugged handsomeness. He had sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips slightly pursed, and a chin with lines as sharp as if cut by a knife.

What is most striking are his eyes, as black as an abyss, so deep they seem to suck in one's soul.

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze lingered on his face for a moment before quickly shifting away.

Her face remained expressionless, but a barely perceptible ripple flickered in her light-colored eyes.

"Are you Long Yuan?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"Hmm. Is there something you need?"

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent for a moment, seemingly organizing her thoughts.

"I watched the game tonight."

She finally spoke again, her voice still cold, but her pace was slower than before, as if she was carefully considering each word.

"You are very strong."

Gu Linyuan raised an eyebrow.

Is this a compliment?

This doesn't seem like Zhu Zhuqing's style.

"So?" he asked.

Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyes, her light-colored eyes staring straight at Gu Linyuan.

The moonlight danced in her pupils, like the moon reflected in two clear pools.

"If I'm not mistaken, the last attack you used on the Soul Arena was an external soul bone, and it was even a palm bone from a high-level soul beast."

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and said.

“You have a very keen eye. You’re right, that is indeed an external soul bone.” Gu Linyuan instantly understood Zhu Zhuqing’s purpose.

"The main attack method of our Zhu family's Netherworld Cat Martial Soul is to use our claws. Therefore, we are good at claw attacks and have a better understanding of the external soul bones in these palm positions," Zhu Zhuqing explained.

"I see."

Gu Linyuan's brows relaxed.

“Any soul beast capable of producing palm bones must possess this talent. I wish to purchase the remaining palm parts of this soul beast from you to craft a pair of claw sheaths…”

Upon hearing this, Gu Linyuan nodded in understanding.

As an agility-type Soul Master, Zhu Zhuqing's strength is half due to the agility of her feline Soul Beast form and the other half due to the cat paws she possesses after her Martial Soul is attached to her.

"I can give you this. But I'm afraid you can't afford it."

Gu Linyuan pondered briefly.

He absorbed the soul ring of the ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and then dismembered the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body into eight pieces and stored them in a storage soul tool.

These days, he occasionally cuts off a piece of bear meat to make barbecue, which has a unique flavor.

Soul beasts with the bloodline of ferocious beasts are treasures from head to toe.

However, the most valuable item is the paw of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

The patriarch of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan, Xiong Jun, injured the Beast God Di Tian with his Sky-Tearing Claw when his cultivation was less than 500,000 years old, which shows his strength.

It can be said that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear became a top-tier ferocious beast because of its destructive power far exceeding its cultivation level. Even a ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can inflict damage with its claws that would normally only be found in a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast.

If Zhu Zhuqing were to use the paws of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear to create a pair of claw gloves, her strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.

This girl isn't stupid.

Chapter 17: Zhu Zhuqing's Heart Fluttering, and the Relationship Between Long Yuan and Rongrong?

Gu Linyuan took out the two paws of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear from his storage soul tool.

"This ancient dark gold dinosaur bear's dominant paw is its left paw, so its external soul bone is located on the left. But that doesn't mean the other bear paws are worthless."

"On the contrary. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that can give birth to an external soul bone must also have top-tier physical endowment among the Terrorclaw Bear clan. The value of these bear paws is also higher."

Gu Linyuan activated his soul power, and the tips of his two bear paws gleamed with a sharp, eerie light.

Even if these remaining bear paws are not imbued with external soul bones, they are still quite valuable.

Especially among certain groups of people, they are priceless treasures.

"A Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear? Or is it ten thousand years old?"

Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyes and looked at Gu Linyuan in disbelief.

As a martial soul family specializing in claw attacks, the Zhu family naturally couldn't be unaware of this kind of soul beast.

This top-tier ferocious beast, with its pair of dark gold claws, is incredibly terrifying!

Even if it were a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with ten thousand years of cultivation, even if his own father were to take action, he might not be able to defeat it!

"Are you sure? You... how could you possibly absorb a ten-thousand-year-old external soul bone?" Zhu Zhuqing's mouth dropped open.

“I’m not trying to extort you. The second spirit ring I absorbed came from this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.” Gu Linyuan’s lips curled slightly.

He didn't want Zhu Zhuqing to misunderstand him as a shrewd businessman.

He released his martial spirit and activated his second spirit ring.

The endless aura of destruction and the savage aura of the ten-thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur bear poured down like a torrential rain.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's golden sharpness and destructive attributes are intertwined, and the fusion of these two extremely destructive forces makes it even more formidable.

"This dark gold terror claw, under my soul power modification, should soon become my own Destruction God Claw!"

Gu Linyuan smiled as he looked at the aura of destruction covering the dark gold claws.

As someone with the very essence of destruction, Dark Gold Terrorclaw can only unleash its true power when it's with him.

"Such a sharp aura."

The moment the dark gold claws reached out, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Then, upon seeing the purple and black soul rings encircling the scepter in Gu Linyuan's hand, they were even more horrified.

Gu Linyuan's Soul Ring Configuration...

"How...how did you do that?"

"Why was your first spirit ring purple? And your second spirit ring is even more... a ten-thousand-year spirit ring."

Zhu Zhuqing stared blankly.

Among the geniuses she had ever seen, Tang San and Dai Mubai were probably among the most formidable.
