While Wang Zhao was busy setting himself up for future events, elsewhere, in a small village.
A tall man with a rugged face, strong build, dressed in black cloth, and resolute eyes was pacing back and forth in front of a small house, looking very anxious.
From inside the room, a woman’s hurried gasps and painful moans occasionally sounded, and after an unknown period of time, they were finally ended by a sky-shattering cry.
The tall man’s face immediately lit up with joy, a hint of struggle flashed imperceptibly in his eyes, but quickly disappeared.
He was just about to enter the house to lovingly comfort his wife, who had just given birth, after the midwife came out, when the originally blue sky was suddenly dyed golden.
Instantly, the man’s face turned gloomy.
He made a grasping motion with his right hand, and a large, incredibly heavy black hammer appeared in his hand.
“Qian!
Xun!
Ji!” He gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, his Qi like an ox’s breath, and roared at the sky: “Why won’t you let us, husband and wife, go?
We swore to live in seclusion from now on, never to emerge.
Is that not enough?!” “Heh…” A mocking, faint laugh echoed out of thin air, followed by a majestic man with golden hair and blue eyes, with three pairs of sacred white wings unfurled behind him, appearing in the sky, looking down at the man with the hammer.
“Tang Hao, do you believe what you just said?
If so, I’d like to ask you, whose spirit power has already reached Rank 90, whether you will emerge to obtain a spirit ring or not?” “Or are you actually planning to make your 100,000-year-old Spirit Beast wife…” “Shut up!” In an instant, Tang Hao’s eyes flared with blood-red light, and the Killing Intent radiating from his body seemed to solidify.
The temperature in the air plummeted, creating a stark contrast between the chilling cold and Qian Xunji’s warmth.
Then, he violently swung the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, a Tool Spirit known as the number one in the World.
“Qian Xunji, come and fight!!!” … At this moment, Wang Zhao and his group, who had finally arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest after traveling day and night, naturally had no idea about the great battle that was unfolding elsewhere.
The three of them were accompanying a Spirit King-level purple-robed bishop, who had changed into casual clothes, into the Star Dou Great Forest.
He was leading them to the From-Cloud White Serpent’s habitat.
This was the advantage of having influence.
With just a command, or in the form of a bounty, one could mobilize people across the World to search for their desired Spirit Beast Spirit Ring.
Those with powerful influence could even directly control information about a type of Spirit Beast species, such as the Star Luo Royal Family.
The fact that Dai Mubai and Dai Weisi’s first three spirit rings and Spirit Abilities were identical in the future is enough to prove this point.
Of course, most Spirit Masters in the World still couldn’t avoid having to search for spirit rings only when they needed to Breakthrough their Realm, just like the protagonist group in the original work, with no time for any planning.
And the hardships that ordinary Spirit Masters had to face were far more than just these.
For example, could they, like Sons of Destiny, simply walk around in the Soul Beast Forest and encounter a top-grade spirit ring that was suitable for absorption and whose age was perfectly at the upper limit for absorption?
If they didn’t force themselves to make do with absorbing some ordinary quality spirit rings of lower age, would they just stay stuck at their Rank and not improve?
Wouldn’t they be ridiculed by their companions, who would say he was dreaming a Heaven-Defying dream and being fanciful?
Presumably, this is why there are so many Spirit Masters in the World whose spirit rings are not optimally configured.
They simply had no choice, no way to strive, and could only muddle through, eventually fading into obscurity.
So, did Yu Xiaogang’s so-called Spirit’s Ten Core Competencies theory really help ordinary Spirit Masters?
Yes, but certainly not much… The Star Dou Great Forest, as expected, lived up to its reputation as the foremost of the three great Spirit Beast gathering places in Douluo.
Morning dew dripped from the broad leaves, and this primal appearance was hard not to marvel at.
Although Wang Zhao had heard of its formidable reputation many times in books, none of that could compare to seeing it with his own eyes at this moment.
It wasn’t until he witnessed this shocking scene that he felt a trace of “ancient vastness” in Douluo.
At this moment, a Soft Bones Rabbit inadvertently passed in front of the group, and was suddenly blocked by Bibi Dong.
“Wang Zhao, come here and kill it.” Bibi Dong, while releasing pressure to restrict the Soft Bones Rabbit, parted her red lips and uttered this astonishing sentence.
Wang Zhao was slightly startled.
It wasn’t that he was afraid, but rather, why so sudden?
Before he could think about it, Bibi Dong urged him again.
“What, you practice so well with Sister Butterfly on weekdays, but when it comes to the battlefield, you become useless?” After speaking, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
This cheap student was a Genius in Spirit knowledge, even almost surpassing her.
She had to admit that.
But now that they were in the wild, it was her home turf again.
Let the teacher give you another good lesson, and teach you what it means to respect your teacher and value the Dao!
Thinking this, Bibi Dong slowly extended her hand, lifted the Soft Bones Rabbit into the air, and then gently squeezed.
Bang!
A cloud of blood mist instantly erupted in the air, symbolizing the passing of a life.
“See?
Kid, welcome to the real World.” Wang Zhao: “…” Die: “…” Leading Spirit King: “…” Isn’t it awkward~ The Soft Bones Rabbit that had just died: You’re amazing!
You’re aloof!
You used my life to demonstrate to your student… Now are you happy?
Bibi Dong: “???” This shouldn’t be.
No matter how much of a Prodigy Wang Zhao was, he was still only a seven-year-old child.
Shouldn’t he be trembling with fear upon seeing this scene?
As if hearing what Bibi Dong was thinking, Wang Zhao’s face immediately turned “pale”.
He couldn’t help but retreat a few steps towards her, then “whoosh” he hugged Sister Butterfly’s thigh.
“Hmm, Dong’er Jie Jie is so scary.” He buried his small face deep into Die’s embrace and said in a muffled voice.
Die’s body trembled slightly, as if she was a little sensitive, but she didn’t know how to refuse, so she helplessly cast her gaze towards Holy Maiden Your Highness.
Bibi Dong: “…” No, this matter cannot be taken lightly.
If her student didn’t even dare to kill a Spirit Beast, that would be unacceptable.
With this thought, on the subsequent journey, whenever Bibi Dong saw Spirit Beasts with cultivation ages ranging from ten to several decades, she would force Wang Zhao to act.
Not only did his Spirit War Beast—Jin Lin—have to go, he himself had to go with a knife.
Even if he couldn’t kill them, he had to go up and fight.
From the Mighty Ant, to the Sword Bamboo, then to the Soft Bones Rabbit, and even the spirit power Sacred Wood… Although the method was crude, it had to be said that it was indeed effective.
From this moment on, Wang Zhao truly assimilated the combat techniques taught by Bibi Dong.
And also, a killing technique with every move fatal!
In this way, the group walked and rested, finally arriving at a From-Cloud White Serpent’s habitat before the hot midday sun.
During this time, although they encountered many sneak attacks from thousand-year-old Spirit Beasts, they were all easily resolved by Die.
At this moment, the small forest was silent, as if there were no traces of Spirit Beasts at all.
But Wang Zhao, who had been fully prepared for this day, knew very well that the scene before him was reasonable.
Because… From-Cloud White Serpent, as the name suggests, flies in the sky, hidden among the clouds!
