Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 23 The More You Owe, the More You Debt

"?!"

Xiong Jun felt a chill run down his spine and looked at Di Tian with a face full of question marks.

Want to stretch your muscles and joints?

I think you're going to tear me apart completely, aren't you?

For three whole hours, he was brutally beaten... no, I mean brutally and inhumanly! He was practically being kicked around like a football by Di Tian. Ever since the first move, he had been taking the beating the entire time.

After this battle, Xiong Jun finally understood that Di Tian had never been serious in his fight and had been hiding his true strength all along.

How dare they scheme against me!

You wait, wait until I'm stronger, then we'll fight again!

"You're something else. Come on, I'll take you to find my people." Xiong Jun snorted sullenly and turned to walk into the depths of the forest.

Di Tian regained his human form, raised his eyebrows, and followed Xiong Jun with some surprise.

It's not easy to hear the words "You're really something" from Xiong Jun's mouth, which means that Xiong Jun has bowed down to Di Tian.

Just as Brigitte thought, he estimated that he would behave himself for a long time.

Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears are not social spirit beasts. They usually prefer to live alone and only live together as a pair when they need to reproduce.

The cubs of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear are usually "kicked out" by their parents when they grow into ten-year-old soul beasts, and left to live alone from then on.

Therefore, it is virtually impossible to find the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears in the Star Dou Great Forest, which are already few in number and live in scattered locations. Unless you are extremely lucky and happen to stumble upon one, you can only rely on the Bear King to lead the way.

Not long after, Xiong Jun stopped in front of an ancient tree with a huge hollow in its trunk and let out a low growl.

A low growl responded to the bear from the tree hollow, and then a dark gold dinosaur claw bear, about eight or nine meters tall, crawled out of the tree hollow.

Looking at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in front of him, Xiong Jun's eyes were particularly complicated. He growled twice and communicated with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in the language of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan.

Upon hearing Xiong Jun's roar, the dark gold dinosaur trembled almost imperceptibly, and a hint of fear and dread appeared in its eyes. However, it quickly overcame its negative emotions and responded to Xiong Jun with a low growl.

Di Tian's figure appeared silently, standing in mid-air beside Xiong Jun, and he said in surprise, "This is your son? Xiong Jun, you actually let your son become the Venerable's soul ring?"

The bear's enormous body shone brightly, and after the light contracted, it transformed into a burly man three meters tall wearing an animal skin coat.

"The lives of other clansmen are lives too, and so is the life of my son. As the son of my Bear King, he enjoys the respect and glory of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan, and he also needs to make sacrifices for the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan." The Bear King said in a calm tone, but the hint of reluctance that flashed in his eyes still betrayed his true feelings.

If he could, he wouldn't want his son to go to his death, but he couldn't. He was the patriarch of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan, and this was the only thing he could do.

Di Tian sighed and reached out to pat Xiong Jun on the shoulder: "Don't worry, as the master's spirit ring, it's not really dead. You know that spirit rings store the souls of our spirit beasts. When the master returns to his peak, it can be resurrected."

Originally, Di Tian didn't want to say these things because he didn't know if Lin Yun would focus his energy on reviving his soul ring.

But since Di Tian has already brought it up, he will inevitably bring it up with Lin Yun in the future and ask him to revive these soul beasts.

"Really?" Xiong Jun frowned, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

He was a native Douluo Soul Beast, so naturally he didn't understand the methods of gods, otherwise he wouldn't have stubbornly gone to fight Di Tian.

"Really, Your Majesty can definitely do it." Di Tian nodded. "That's good. Alright, take it and leave. I won't come with you." Xiong Jun's face showed a hint of relief as he turned and left without looking back.

Di Tian watched Xiong Jun's departing figure and fell silent for a moment.

This bear is just a bit arrogant, and he's only arrogant to the wrong people. In reality, he does have some strength. With Gu Yuena AFK in the fountain, besides Di Tian, ​​Xiong Jun is probably the strongest fighter in Xingdou. Even the Demon King can't beat him.

Putting aside his flaw of being all muscle and no brain, Xiong Jun is actually not bad, he just tends to offend people.

"Waaah—" Xiong Jun's son, who was lying to the side, whimpered twice, as if he was saying his final goodbye to Xiong Jun.

Xiong Jun paused slightly, his right fist slowly clenched, but in the end, only a long sigh gradually dissipated into the air.

"Let's go." Di Tian waved his hand, and an irresistible spatial force descended upon Xiong Jun's son, carrying him away silently from the spot.

Lake of Life.

Lin Yun and Bi Ji had already returned and were now quietly waiting by the lake.

The moment the battle ended, Lin Yun knew that his spirit ring was secure. Now, as long as Di Tian returned, he could bring his third spirit ring to him.

Di Tian didn't keep Lin Yun waiting for long. Before Lin Yun had even arrived at the Lake of Life, Di Tian emerged from the space with a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Even though he had already seen the true form of the Bear King, it was only from a distance. Only at such close range did Lin Yun truly feel the explosive power of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

As expected of a creature capable of fighting dragons, the Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear truly lives up to its name.

"Your Majesty, I have brought back the soul ring you requested." Di Tian bowed slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Di Tian!" Lin Yun nodded with a smile, then said, "But judging from your expression, it seems something happened between you and Xiong Jun that I don't know about after I left!"

"Why don't you tell me about it?"

The complex expression on Di Tian's face was too obvious, especially considering that he had maintained a blank expression for ten or even nine days. This sentimental look was even less common than when he was a henchman.

After hesitating for a moment, Di Tian told everyone what happened next, including the identity of the dark gold dinosaur bear in front of him.

"Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty will be able to revive it after returning to your peak," Di Tian said softly, bowing deeply.

"So it's the son of the Bear King..." Lin Yun walked to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and touched its seemingly hard but actually soft dark gold fur.

As the son of the Bear King, its talent is absolutely among the best, even within the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan.

Lin Yun...

It seems I owe more and more favors to people in the Star Dou Great Forest.
