Kapitel 138: I want Body Martial Spirit
Zhongli is scary?
Just ask Orobashi from the time of the Archon War. He was so frightened by the Geo Archon that he fled Liyue overnight, heading for the dark outer seas.
Unexpectedly, while passing by Inazuma, he found humans who worshipped him, so he stopped for a while.
However, he stumbled upon forbidden knowledge and had no choice but to face the Raiden Shogun's blade...
Besides the archons of Teyvat, two other figures from 'Douluo Dalu' have something to say about this.
The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape: "He advised us to leave, as a courtesy to him. We didn't listen, didn't listen!"
And then...
Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai didn't dare linger in the Sunset Forest, feeling like guilty thieves. After running out of the forest, they finally stopped, panting heavily. They exchanged glances, fear evident in their eyes. Especially Dai Mubai, whose face was pale.
"I won't dare speak recklessly again. Who knows if we'll be this lucky next time," Dai Mubai muttered.
"Old Zhao..." Dai Mubai opened his mouth, hesitating.
"Let's go. The Sunset Forest is a place of trouble now. In the future, we should go farther away to get soul rings," Zhao Wuji said, shaking his head.
Soul beasts of medium age, especially higher-quality ones, have mostly been hunted by the members of the Body Sect. The Sunset Forest won't be suitable for hunting soul beasts for at least a hundred years.
Shrek Academy is located in Heaven Dou City. As a top-level soul master academy, its students need medium-aged soul rings, and the Sunset Forest used to be the best place for that. But now, they'll have to go farther afield.
Hearing this, although Dai Mubai felt reluctant, he nodded.
"By the way, Old Zhao, did you see that young man earlier?" Dai Mubai turned to Zhao Wuji.
He immediately recognized that young man. Just yesterday, he had advanced from bronze to silver.
"Wasn't that the quasi-Soul King from yesterday?" Zhao Wuji responded instinctively but then sensed something was off.
Wait, is it normal for a quasi-Soul King to absorb such a terrifying soul ring? Even though that bear was dead, its aura still made Zhao Wuji's heart tremble. That beast was definitely more than ten thousand years old—at least thirty thousand years!
A typical quasi-Soul King can barely handle a soul ring from a ten-thousand-year beast. But a Body Sect quasi-Soul King absorbing a thirty-thousand-year soul ring like it's nothing?
"I feel like the soul ring he absorbed was even more terrifying than your seventh soul ring!" Dai Mubai said bluntly.
Zhao Wuji: "..."
Well, actually, you're not wrong. My seventh soul ring is only thirty thousand years old! In terms of quality, it's nothing compared to that terrifying bear.
If Zhao Wuji could absorb a soul ring from such a beast, his power would significantly increase. He just didn't know what kind of bear that was. It looked like a Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear, but it had longer claws than usual. Could it be a Fearclaw Bear? But Fearclaw Bears aren't that color.
Zhao Wuji was utterly confused! In this day and age, very few humans can go one-on-one against a "same-level" Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear.
High defense, high attack, and claws that ignore part of your defense. Almost all humans who've encountered this soul beast have died. That's why the name of the Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear hasn't spread widely.
The most powerful Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear is currently sleeping deep in the Star Dou Forest. It's so powerful that, despite being tens of thousands of years short of its peak, it still managed to injure Di Tian, the Beast God!
Di Tian—who's the second-generation Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King!
"Sigh..." Dai Mubai sighed again, feeling that even though he was a Soul King with the top-tier beast spirit White Tiger, he still wouldn't be a match for that young man.
Indeed, the opponent's soul ring age was far beyond the norm!
This alone was enough to bridge the gap in the quality of martial spirits.
In the past, why was the Body Spirit not highly regarded? It was precisely because its quality was often too inferior to compete with other soul masters of the same level. Of course, there were some Body Spirits with combat power, but they were few and far between.
The emergence of the second awakening, however, transformed the Body Spirit into one of the most popular and powerful martial spirits in the world.
Why? Because the strongest person in the world now has a Body Spirit! And he also has twin martial spirits...
"Old Zhao, I want to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring..." Dai Mubai said.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhao Wuji slapped him on the head.
"Little Bai, nice idea. But don't think about it next time!" Zhao Wuji said. "You think no one's tried? Two direct descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, both at the quasi-Soul Ancestor level, thought their bodies were extraordinary. Plus, they had the strongest beast spirit in the world..."
"They tried, and both ended up the same way—exploded!"
"Your White Tiger Spirit is also a top-tier beast spirit, not far behind the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit. If you try to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring at your fourth soul ring, it'll kill you!" Zhao Wuji said seriously.
This information came from Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wuji had no reason to doubt her words.
The strongest beast spirit in the world has its own pride. Why should the Body Spirit be able to do what the world's strongest beast spirit cannot?
"Try it, and you die!" Zhao Wuji concluded.
Hearing this, Dai Mubai snapped out of his daze and looked at Zhao Wuji with lingering fear.
Knowing Zhao Wuji, he wouldn't lie or use something like this to deceive him. A moment of impulsiveness almost led to an irreversible disaster.
"Why am I not a Body Spirit user?" Dai Mubai muttered, feeling a pang of regret. "If only my heterochromatic eyes were my Body Spirit..."
What he didn't know was that in another timeline, his descendant would indeed have heterochromatic eyes as their martial spirit...
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the next day.
Early in the morning, Du Siji returned to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, feeling stronger than ever. He even felt that he had the strength to challenge Chi Yu!
Meanwhile, Zhongli had arrived at the Body Sect.
"A friend coming from afar, isn't it a joy?"
"Reviewing what you've learned makes you a worthy teacher."
"Among three people, there must be someone who can teach me."
Hearing the sounds of people reading 'The Analects', Zhongli was momentarily stunned but then smiled with satisfaction. He didn't disturb them, as his appearance would have immediately broken the atmosphere.
"Lord!"
At that moment, Du Bafang passed by and instinctively greeted him. Fortunately, his voice was normal, and the recitations continued uninterrupted.
"Hmm..."
Zhongli thought for a moment and said, "Are there any parts of 'The Analects' that you're unclear on?"
Du Bafang pondered for a moment and replied, "With the combined efforts of three thousand disciples, we have gained some understanding of your profound teachings, Lord!"
'The Analects' and three thousand disciples? Are there also seventy-two halls?
Seeing Du Bafang's confident yet humble demeanor, Zhongli fell into deep thought.
Where did he pick up that habit?
"Very well. If you encounter difficulties, you may come to me."
