Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 198 The Three Brothers of the Thousand-Pound Ant King

"You've broken through to the Title Douluo level?"

Dugu Bo's words drew the attention of Dugu Yan, whose gaze fell upon Yang Wudi, who was standing not far away beside Yun Yibai.

She never expected that while she was away with her grandfather, Dugu Bo, for a while, Yang Wudi had already broken through to the level of a Title Douluo.

"Hahaha! I've been waiting for you guys for so long!"

Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, then said, "Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Senior Yang, on breaking through to the Title Douluo level!" Dugu Yan offered her heartfelt congratulations.

"Old Poison Master, we'll need your help this time," Yang Wudi said solemnly.

"No problem!" Dugu Bo couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

The addition of a new Title Douluo to Martial Extreme Academy not only signifies the strengthening of the academy's foundation, but also means that the burden on his shoulders can be lightened a bit.

In this treacherous continent, relying solely on him would be too much for Martial Arts Academy. The more outstanding Yun Yibai and the others were, the more coveted they would become by the Spirit Hall. Sometimes, he still worried that his strength alone wouldn't be enough to protect Yun Yibai and the others.

It just so happens that Yun Yibai's soul power has also broken through to the Soul Saint level, so they can go to the Star Dou Great Forest together to obtain a soul ring.

……

As early as two years ago, Yun Yibai had already begun preparing for his and Yang Wudi's spirit rings.

Yun Yibai chose the Thousand-Pound Ant King as the target spirit beast for his seventh spirit ring.

Yes, those are the three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings that were also driven out of the Star Dou Great Forest by the two 100,000-year-old Beast Kings, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

Generally speaking, a Thousand-Pound Ant is a king among Thousand-Pound Ants if it cultivates for ten thousand years.

These three massive ants, however, cultivate by devouring other life forms.

Their cultivation methods are exactly the same as those of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Bibi Dong.

The Thousand-Pound Ant is a type of spirit beast with extremely tenacious vitality, outstanding physical defense, and strong resistance to blows. In particular, its strength is extraordinary, far exceeding the proportion of its body.

However, as a type of spirit beast, they do not possess any spirit skills.

In any spirit beast forest, they often become food for other spirit beasts. Although their defense is good, it is ultimately limited, and they lack offensive means. Although they have considerable strength, it is difficult for them to exert it.

Of course, many spirit beasts disdain the Thousand-Pound Ants, as breaking through their defenses and then devouring them is quite tiring. It is precisely because of their tenacious vitality that these spirit beasts exist in large numbers within the Spirit Beast Forest.

However, cultivation is a process where quantitative change leads to qualitative change. When a Thousand-Pound Ant cultivates for ten thousand years, it will undergo a mutation and evolution.

These three brothers, the Thousand-Pound Ants, were originally among the elite of the Thousand-Pound Ant clan. They rapidly increased their strength by constantly devouring other Thousand-Pound Ants of their own kind, thus reaching their current cultivation level of 90,000 years.

The strength of these three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings is definitely no match for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. If it were an ordinary soul ring, Yun Yibai would not have chosen this kind of soul beast.

However, the requirements for the seventh spirit ring are not high, and the seventh spirit skill has only one effect: Martial Spirit True Body.

Every Soul Master, once their cultivation breaks through level 70, will experience a qualitative change in their Martial Soul, regardless of what kind of Soul Ring they acquire. It will truly become one with their body, allowing them to unleash their Martial Soul True Form.

Once the Martial Soul True Form is activated, the user will completely transform into the form of the Martial Soul, resulting in a surge in strength. Furthermore, the power of any existing Soul Skills used will nearly double.

In fact, the enhancement of the Martial Soul True Body is basically related to the age of the Soul Ring; the higher the age, the better the enhancement effect.

Given the scarcity and difficulty in dealing with 100,000-year-old soul beasts, the Thousand-Pound Ant King, with a cultivation level of 90,000 years and infinitely close to 100,000 years, is undoubtedly the best choice.

Although there is a 100,000-year-old soul beast named Xiao Wu who has transformed into a human, Xiao Wu lives deep in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, and is protected by two 100,000-year-old beast kings, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

Their idea of ​​relying solely on Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi is pure wishful thinking.

Even Bibi Dong, including herself, had three Title Douluos, a dozen Soul Douluos, and even more Soul Saints before she set her sights on the 100,000-year-old Azure Bull Python and the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape.

Two years after selecting his target soul beast, Yun Yibai began searching for information about the three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings.

Needless to say, the money spent during this period was considerable. Money makes the world go round; as long as enough money is paid, people will work hard for it.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. With a large investment, Yun Yibai actually got the result he wanted.

Sometimes, it's not that you can't know certain information, but that you haven't offered enough incentive to motivate those who are working for profit.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Those three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings were bold enough to provoke the 100,000-year-old Beast King. Although they were utterly defeated by the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape and driven out of the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, these three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings are still active within the Star Dou Great Forest.

After all, for these three mighty ant kings, no hunting ground was better than the Star Dou Great Forest.

Moreover, as long as they don't appear in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest and aren't discovered by the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, they will be the overlords of the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Not only those three, but even the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which had become Yun Yibai's sixth soul ring, thought the same way.

The Star Dou Great Forest is incredibly vast, located in the center of the continent, spanning the two great empires of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and stretching across the east and west. Any powerful soul beast that has ever lived here would never look favorably upon any other place.

It is indeed a three-headed, ninety-thousand-year-old soul beast. The three-headed soul beast once fought against the one-hundred-thousand-year-old Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape. Although it fled in defeat, the Thousand-Pound Ant King at that time and the Thousand-Pound Ant King now that it has reached ninety thousand years of age are two different things.

The 90,000-year-old Thousand-Pound Ant King has a dark golden outer armor with extremely strong defensive capabilities.

Moreover, it is even stronger, capable of withstanding the divine artifact Poseidon's Trident in the original timeline.

Even ordinary titled Douluo might not be his match.

The three-headed, thousand-pound ant queen can also fly, greatly enhancing her mobility.

Moreover, these three mighty ant kings are brothers, possessing wisdom. When they unite, they are not easy to deal with.

The three brothers, Qianjun Ant King, lived in the southeast of the Star Dou Great Forest, adjacent to the Star Luo Empire, but far from Star Luo City, the political center of the Star Luo Empire.

The three brothers, the Thousand-Pound Ant King, reside in the mixed zone of this area. Here, they will not attract the attention of the beast kings of the Star Dou Great Forest, and their basic needs for devouring and cultivation can be met.

Therefore, the Martial Arts Academy has a rather impressive lineup for this Soul Hunting Operation in the Star Dou Great Forest.
