Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Emperor, Unifying the Continent!

Starry Sky Forest.

"Tianming, are you really sure? You only have your third spirit ring, and you want to hunt spirit beasts that are six or seven thousand years old? This... is too dangerous!"

The middle-aged man looked at Xu Tianming, who was wielding a large knife and cutting through the bushes blocking his path, and couldn't help but ask again with concern.

Since entering the Star Dou Great Forest, he had asked Xu Tianming this question more than once.

It's not that he's being long-winded, but... who would aim for a spirit beast with six or seven thousand years of cultivation when they break through level 30 and acquire their third spirit ring?

It's important to know that normally, a Soul Master would hunt Soul Beasts with one or two thousand years of cultivation to obtain their third Soul Ring, but Xu Tianming... after entering the Star Dou Great Forest, directly needed a Soul Beast with six or seven thousand years of cultivation!

Even though Xu Tianming is exceptionally talented and has extremely strong Soul Master abilities, this is still too terrifying!

At least with his knowledge as the dean of an intermediate-level soul master academy, he simply couldn't understand Xu Tianming's thoughts.

call!

With a single slash, Xu Tianming cleaved through the bushes in front of him without batting an eye. He stood up, sheathed his broadsword into his storage device at his waist, and turned to look at Zhang Wei.

"It's alright, Lao Zhang. Since I dared to choose a six- or seven-thousand-year-old soul beast as my third soul ring target, it means I have absolute confidence! You know, I'm a genius that's one in ten thousand!"

Xu Tianming's tone was full of confidence, even carrying a hint of arrogance that was about to break through his confidence!

But Zhang Wei didn't feel that anything was wrong.

A genius who reaches level 30 in cultivation at the age of twelve, and can defeat a Soul Master when he is at the second ring, and even fight on par with a Soul Sect master, is just naturally a little proud and arrogant!

If he had Xu Tianming's talent, he would definitely be even more arrogant than Xu Tianming!

"But, six or seven thousand years..."

Zhang Wei's imagination was still limited. He couldn't understand how a third spirit ring could absorb a spirit ring of this age. Even for a spirit master's fourth spirit ring, such a spirit ring was a little over the limit.

Xu Tianming smiled but did not answer; instead, he continued walking forward.

As a transmigrator, he naturally knew that a spirit beast that was six or seven thousand years old was far beyond the limit for an ordinary spirit master's third spirit ring.

But unlike ordinary soul masters, he knew exactly where his limits lay.

Moreover, for him, the more outstanding his spirit ring performance is, the greater the assistance he will receive in the things he will do next!

Several hours later, still unable to find a suitable soul beast, Xu Tianming frowned and looked at Zhang Wei beside him, suggesting, "Old Zhang, these are all three or four thousand year old soul beasts here, not even a five thousand year old one. How about... we go a little deeper?"

The Star Dou Great Forest is roughly divided into the outer area, the mixed area, the core area, and the perilous land that no human has ever set foot in.

The outer area is inhabited mostly by soul beasts that are ten to a hundred years old, while the mixed area is mainly inhabited by soul beasts that are a thousand to ten thousand years old.

The core area is almost entirely inhabited by ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, with virtually no place for thousand-year-old soul beasts to survive.

At this moment, Xu Tianming and Zhang Wei were in the mixed zone, near the outer area.

However, it's clear that the six- or seven-thousand-year-old soul beasts that Xu Tianming wants are unlikely to appear here.

"Are you really sure? I'm asking one last time!"

Zhang Wei said with an extremely serious expression.

Xu Tianming nodded and said, "It has never changed."

Seeing this, Zhang Wei took a deep breath, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes, which had long since become calm.

"Alright! I'll go crazy with you this once! Let's go, let's go deeper!"

As a Soul Master with the cultivation of a Soul Emperor, venturing a little deeper into the mixed zone to hunt a Soul Beast that is six or seven thousand years old carries some risk, but not much.

"Tianming, if you find a suitable soul beast later, be careful. I might not be able to keep an eye on you while you're hunting it."

As Zhang Wei continued deeper into the mixed zone, he offered words of advice and reminders.

Even if his cultivation level is Soul Emperor, and he only hunted a Soul Beast with a cultivation level of six or seven thousand years, where is this place?

This is the Star Dou Great Forest!

If one is not careful, and while fighting a soul beast, if an even more powerful soul beast is attracted, not to mention a Soul Emperor, even a Soul Saint might perish here.

"actually..."

Xu Tianming followed behind Zhang Wei, looking at his excited expression. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Old Zhang, what I really meant was, I'll go fight, and you can protect me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei's mind went blank for a moment, and he said in disbelief:

"What did you say?"

Xu Tianming pointed to himself and repeated, "I said, I'll fight. Old Zhang, you just need to protect me. If I can't beat them, then you can step in."

After confirming that he hadn't misheard, Zhang Wei felt like he was about to laugh out of anger.

"I can accept that your third spirit ring has been absorbed for six or seven thousand years, but you, a level 30, two-ring Great Spirit Master, are going to fight a spirit beast that's six or seven thousand years old? No, you don't really intend to hunt down a spirit beast of that level on your own, do you? Then... I'll leave?"

Xu Tianming quickly grabbed Zhang Wei, who was about to leave, and coughed lightly, saying, "Don't be angry, Lao Zhang. You know my personality; I like to hone myself in battle."

Zhang Wei chuckled.

"Heh, hone yourself? What level 30 Soul Master would hone themselves with a six- or seven-thousand-year-old Soul Beast? You think you're so high and mighty?!"

After saying that, he slapped Xu Tianming's hand away and said in a deep voice, "I know your personality, but this is not a joke. This is the Star Dou Great Forest! You need to hone yourself. When you get to Shrek Academy, you'll have plenty of genius opponents to hone your skills!"

Xu Tianming wanted to say something more, but suddenly, as if sensing something, his eyes lit up!

"Old Zhang, I think I've sensed a soul beast that's right for me! Quick! Don't let it get away!"

Xu Tianming sped off in a certain direction, and Zhang Wei, realizing what was happening, quickly followed.

"Hey kid, don't wander off! This is a mixed zone!"

After quickly traversing several hundred meters, Xu Tianming finally saw what this soul beast, which was suitable for him, looked like.

It was a lion, nearly three meters tall at the shoulder and five meters long, covered in long, gilded fur with a bright golden luster. It exuded a very rich aura of light and was full of a majestic and sacred aura!

"This is..."

Upon seeing the soul beast, Zhang Wei, who had followed, exclaimed in shock, his pupils constricting.

"That's a Radiant Lion?! Judging by its size, it's at least six thousand years old! Is that what you sensed?!"

Xu Tianming's eyes shone brightly as he stared intently at the Radiant Lion not far away, nodding with a satisfied expression on his face.

"This guy has a very strong bloodline of light and a cultivation of six thousand years, which is perfect for me!"
