Douluo Continent: My Path to Godhood Through Stat Allocation

Chapter 50 Spiked Blood Dragonfly

As a genius Soul Master who has participated in the Soul Master Competition, dealing with a hundred-year-old Soul Beast is naturally no problem for him.

He swung his sword twice with extreme speed.

One stroke severed the beak, another cut off both feet.

Startled by the sudden appearance of the human Soul Master, the mountain demon didn't unleash its Frenzy to fight back; instead, it quickly fled.

Leading everyone in quickly, the dean pointed to the green ostrich lying on the ground, completely powerless to resist.

"Judging from its attack method, there is a chance that it will be granted a thrusting-type soul skill."

"The muscles on this bird's neck are very strong. It can use explosive soul power to drive its beak to make a fierce stab. It may also provide an explosive soul skill or an amplified soul skill. Come here, you tomboy Tanuki, this thing is suitable for you."

A woman with a masculine appearance and a spirit of a tabby cat ran quickly through the crowd with a joyful expression.

"Thank you, Dean. Thank you, teachers."

Before absorbing the spirit ring, she politely thanked the dean and Lin Tianyang.

The dean nodded slightly: "Absorb it directly. We'll protect you, so don't worry about safety."

The crowd dispersed around her, and Fang Ling also took a position near the teacher to help keep watch.

Unfortunately, no foolish soul beasts rushed over.

"?"

The tree trunk trembled slightly as soon as the idea came to mind.

A venomous snake with black and green stripes, which had been lurking on the tree trunk, suddenly sprang into action.

It charged straight down at Fang Ling.

Its bloody mouth was wide open, and a pair of sharp, slender teeth could be seen on its upper jaw.

It is nearly three meters long and as thick as a wrist. Even before you get close, you can smell a fishy, pungent odor.

It's a venomous snake, but we don't know what type yet. Getting bitten by one is definitely not a good thing.

A sneak attack?

too suddenly.

The Starry Sky Forest was indeed fraught with danger.

Fang Ling's spirit rings flashed rapidly, and his nerve reflexes were quickly enhanced.

The snake is fast, and so is he.

While adjusting his posture to avoid being bitten, the silver-white scythe immediately slashed at the vital spot of the green-black snake.

It burst into sparks as sharp as diamond.

It didn't end as he had imagined.

The scales are so hard.

Fang Ling's pupils contracted slightly, and she shifted her position with light steps.

The snake fell to the ground, and as it slithered, it lunged at him again, trying to bite him.

The snake's gaping mouth looked extremely ferocious. In the blink of an eye, with his quick reflexes, he shoved a sickle into the snake's mouth.

He then quickly stepped back, lifted it upside down, and slashed its head open.

The snake lay on the ground, its head split in two, utterly dead.

After a short while, specks of yellow light emerged from the snake's body, and a yellow stream of energy slowly flowed out, hovering above it to form a halo.

From the moment Fang Ling was ambushed to the moment the snake was killed, only a fleeting moment passed.

Lin Tianyang, who had noticed the fight, landed in two leaps in front of Fang Ling and quickly asked, "Did you get bitten?"

"Teacher, you know how fast I can react. It's just a little snake." Fang Ling smiled at him.

Having obtained two points, he had met the requirements for upgrading his Martial Soul Form, and he was in a very good mood.

Lin Tianyang glanced at his apprentice and saw that two eyes hadn't appeared on his body or arms. Although he agreed with his confident statement, he still warned him:

"Some snake-type spirit beasts will spray venom into the eyes of their enemies, which often has extremely unexpected effects. Many spirit masters have fallen victim to this. Remember this."

Spraying venom?

Fang Ling seemed to have heard of this kind of snake in his previous life, and his expression turned slightly serious: "I understand, teacher."

Lin Tianyang examined the snake on the ground:

"This is a black-striped green snake that is about three hundred years old. Its venom is not the kind that cannot be cured, but once it bites you, you will have no choice but to withdraw from this Soul Hunt."

Having said that, he shouted at the students and teachers in the other directions:

"Don't just look around, look up and down too. Just because Fang Ling was able to react doesn't mean you can. If you get bitten by a highly venomous snake, you might die on the spot before you even get a chance to be rescued!"

"The spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are very aggressive, remember that!"

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

Because the group hasn't advanced much yet, this is the outermost perimeter.

There aren't many powerful soul beasts; most are only ten-year-old soul beasts, which is why he dared to shout like that. If they were to venture further in and reach areas where hundred-year-old soul beasts congregate, they would have to proceed with extreme caution.

About an hour later, the tabby cat soul master had finished absorbing the soul ring.

He originally had one hundred-year-old spirit ring, which became two, making him a powerful two-ring Great Spirit Master.

Her eyes shone with barely suppressed joy—a Great Soul Master!

Then you can enter the advanced academy.

"Make good use of your spirit rings." The dean patted her shoulder, snapping her out of her elation.

They then gathered the scattered crowd together.

It was already afternoon when she arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, and it was around four or five o'clock when she finished absorbing the spirit ring.

It was late autumn to early winter, and it was already getting late, so we couldn't go looking for spirit beasts anymore.

We must find a relatively open and spacious place to serve as our campsite for the night.

Nighttime is when many spirit beasts are active, and many powerful carnivorous spirit beasts are more active than during the day, so they must rest properly.

After walking a short distance, Lin Tianyang found a relatively gentle slope and cleared it out, driving away the ten-year-old soul beasts.

"Okay, let's camp here tonight."

The dean looked around and somewhat eased everyone's vigilance.

Upon arriving at the Soul Beast Forest, the atmosphere was so dark and gloomy that everyone was constantly on edge.

Now I can finally take a short break.

As for the outer area, it is probably only a gathering place for ten-year-old soul beasts, and the hundred-year-old soul beasts you might encounter are generally not very strong.

While helping others hunt souls, if one wants to help Fang Ling hunt a powerful hundred-year-old soul beast, it will probably take them deep into the border area between a hundred and a thousand years.

There won't be many opportunities to rest later, so we must make the most of this weaker position to get back into shape...

Two days later, in a river valley.

Hidden in the mountains and forests, the dean put his arm around Fang Ling's shoulder and pointed to a herd of blue cattle with three horns on their heads in the lush pastures ahead.

"See that? That's the soul beast that's right for you."

After searching three places, we finally stopped here.

"A triangular blue ox?"

Fang Ling recognized this kind of soul beast, which wasn't particularly strong.

Lin Tianyang denied it:

"No, I think Father was referring to the blood dragonflies that are over a meter long and have sharp, mosquito-like spines on their bodies. If I remember correctly, these soul beasts can always provide a soul skill that enhances attack power or detects weaknesses."

The dean gave his son an approving look and chuckled:

"Yes, it's the Spiked Blood Dragonfly!"

"This kind of soul beast and the Triangular Azure Ox have a symbiotic relationship. The Triangular Azure Ox is weak and feeds the Spiked Blood Dragonfly with its own blood and soul power in order to face the hunting of other powerful soul beasts."

"Look at that third cow, the one sucking blood from its back."

"It is about 1.5 meters long, with two pairs of wings, eight segments on its abdomen, and a mouthpart that is a full meter long. It is sharp and needle-like, and can aim through its two pairs of large compound eyes, precisely piercing the blood vessels of the Triangular Blue Ox through the thick cowhide."

"Won't anyone acquire the ability to absorb blood and soul power, and thus be considered a fallen soul master?"

Fang Ling had some questions in her mind.

This skill is important in Killing City, but this question is crucial.

Lin Tianyang's words carried a hint of disbelief:

"You even killed a Fallen Soul Master, huh? What do you think the definition of a Fallen Soul Master is?"

"It is those who hinder the development of Soul Masters and cause great harm to the world that are truly Fallen Soul Masters."

"It's just a skill that absorbs blood and soul power, what's so special about it?"

"As long as you don't do evil, don't slaughter soul beasts, and don't wreak havoc on the world, the Spirit Hall won't interfere."

Fang Ling suddenly realized.
