Chapter 25 Martial Soul Forest, Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear

The next day, early morning.

In front of the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong, holding Gu Changge's hand, instructed Chrysanthemum Douluo, "Yue Guan, Changge's spirit ring is now in your hands."

"Your Holiness, I assure you, I will ensure that Young Master Changge obtains the best possible second spirit ring."

Chrysanthemum Douluo lowered his head slightly, his voice respectful.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Chrysanthemum Douluo's ability to handle affairs; otherwise, he wouldn't be one of her capable generals.

The reason he wasn't Ghost Douluo was because Bibi Dong didn't want to cultivate Gu Changge solely through cultivation.

She wanted to cultivate him in many ways and let him connect with people in advance.

Bibi Dong bent down slightly and gently patted Gu Changge's head: "Changge, when you go to the Martial Soul Forest, you must obey Elder Ju's orders, understand?"

This action caused Gu Changge's usually indifferent eyes to tremble slightly.

It seems that Bibi Dong's attitude has changed slightly since she examined him last night; she seems... to be gentler?

Is it just my imagination? Or am I overthinking it?

A moment of silence.

Gu Changge nodded, his lips twitched, and a smile appeared on his face: "Disciple understands."

"Um."

Bibi Dong smiled faintly, her voice cool and clear: "Let's set off as soon as possible and try to return as soon as possible."

"Yes, teacher."

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

Gu Changge and Ju Douluo nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Chrysanthemum Douluo took Gu Changge away and flew away from the Papal Palace to the Martial Soul Forest.

Bibi Dong watched Gu Changge's figure disappear before turning back to the Papal Palace to continue dealing with the endless affairs of state.

……

Martial Soul Forest.

As a place where the Spirit Hall specifically raises spirit beasts, its scale is far beyond that of the Soul Hunting Forest in Notting City.

The Martial Soul Forest covers a vast area and is home to an exceptionally large number of ten-year and hundred-year-old soul beasts, as well as many thousand-year-old soul beasts.

There are about ten ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, but they are all located in the core area of ​​the forest.

"Elder Ju, my teacher has already examined my physical condition. The limit of my second spirit ring is about 3,500 years."

On the way, Gu Changge explained his physical condition to Ju Douluo.

"How...how much?" Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes widened as he stared at Gu Changge in disbelief.

According to his guess, Gu Changge's first spirit ring was nine hundred years old, and his second spirit ring should be around fifteen hundred years old.

As a result, we underestimated it for a full two thousand years!

Is it really right for a level 20 Great Soul Master to absorb a second soul ring that is 3,500 years old?

"Three thousand five hundred years, or even a hundred years higher, is acceptable."

Gu Changge once again uttered a surprising statement, leaving Chrysanthemum Douluo speechless with shock.

Little did they know, Bibi Dong was also incredibly shocked last night.

She examined Gu Changge's body nearly ten times before finally confirming that Gu Changge's physique was indeed much stronger than that of ordinary soul masters.

Bibi Dong was puzzled by this.

Only Gu Changge knew why his physique was so abnormally abnormal.

With the blessing of divine retribution, even a mere head possesses a terrifyingly strong physical body.

Moreover, that drop of mysterious silver blood also had a body-tempering effect, which greatly improved his physical fitness.

Therefore, it is reasonable that the second spirit ring took 3,500 years to absorb.

"..."

Chrysanthemum Douluo remained silent for a long time before saying, "Since His Holiness the Pope personally examined you, there can't be any mistake."

"Let's look at a timeframe of 3,500 years, and try not to exceed that."

Although Gu Changge said that being over a hundred years taller would be fine, Chrysanthemum Douluo still dared not take the risk.

He chose to believe His Holiness the Pope.

Gu Changge understood, so he didn't refuse. He nodded and continued, "Elder Ju, my teacher recommended several soul beasts to me. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is the most suitable for my Thousand Blade Martial Soul."

Just as he had predicted, the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, which only attacks and doesn't defend, can simply stack up attacks without needing too many fancy tricks.

Because the Demon Blade Thousand Blades already possesses a variety of flashy and elaborate forms.

Chrysanthemum Douluo: "..."

A 3,500-year-old soul beast, and a notorious Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear at that.

The thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is no less powerful than an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

It's no wonder that it required a titled Douluo-level expert to hunt it down; an ordinary Soul Douluo might not have been able to take it down.

"There are also Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears in the Martial Soul Forest, including two or three that are at the thousand-year level, but they are all deep in the forest."

"Young Master Changge, you must stay close to this elder."

With Chrysanthemum Douluo's strength, there is no need to fear the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which is at the millennium level.

He wasn't afraid of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, or even the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in the forest that was at most fifty thousand years old.

The only thing to worry about is Gu Changge's safety.

"Elder Ju, just call me Changge."

Gu Changge smiled and nodded: "Changge understands, I will follow Elder Ju's instructions."

"Um."

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded slightly and quickly flew towards the depths of the Martial Soul Forest with Gu Changge in tow.

The territory of a thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would never be outside the forest; they must be competing with those ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

"Whoosh—"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was very fast, only slightly slower than Ghost Douluo.

Given that the two players have different main attacking styles, it is reasonable for them to have a difference in speed.

The two streaked through the air like a streak of light, searching for the soul beasts below, and encountered quite a few rare soul beasts along the way.

There was even a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast that launched an attack on them, and in the end, it naturally fled in a sorry state.

With Chrysanthemum Douluo at level 95 around, none of these pose a threat.

I don't know how much time passed.

"roar!"

As the two were about to reach the depths of the forest, an extremely deep roar came from below, fierce and deafening.

Looking down from mid-air, one could see a giant bear with a dark gold body staring fiercely at them.

It stands over three meters tall, with a pair of terrifying red eyes devoid of any emotion, filled with indifference and ferocity.

It has broad, powerful shoulders, and at the ends of its two thick arms are dark golden claws that gleam with a cold light and look extremely sharp.

"This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a bit old, probably around 3,700 years old." Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned, somewhat hesitant.

Without a doubt, this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is close to the age required for Ancient Song.

However, it is higher than the age limit, rather than lower than the age limit.

"Elder Ju, let's choose this one."

"Being a hundred or two hundred years taller isn't really a big problem; I can handle it."

Gu Changge saw that Chrysanthemum Douluo wanted to continue searching, so he spoke up decisively.

"...No, your safety is the most important thing." Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head, rejecting Gu Changge's suggestion.

"Elder Ju, have you forgotten that I have already fused with a soul bone?" Gu Changge reminded him softly.

Since he no longer concealed his soul power level, Ju Douluo and the others could easily guess that he had a soul bone.

Therefore, there is no need to hide it anymore.

Moreover, they would definitely believe that this soul bone was a gift from Bibi Dong.

"..." Chrysanthemum Douluo fell into deep thought after hearing what Gu Changge said.

Gu Changge pressed on, saying, "Elder Ju, even if I really can't fuse with this soul ring, with your cultivation level, you can still interrupt my absorption."

"So there's really nothing to worry about. Changge believes in your abilities."
