บท 137: “Is Zhongli really that scary?”
Du Siji, his entire body silver-white, still had cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
'What kind of terrifying creature is this bear?'
Despite his silver rank second awakening and nearly Soul King-level spirit power, he wasn't even able to withstand a single strike from it!
If not for the Sect Master's intervention, today would have been his end!
Just yesterday, he had broken through his limits and planned to test his skills today.
But who could have expected this?
With just one blow, he was nearly killed!
"So terrifying! It took only one claw swipe to defeat Siji!"
Paimon's face was pale, her whole body trembling.
Sure enough, the outside world is still too dangerous!
"Zhongli, Zhongli, what kind of soul beast is this?"
"This is way too scary!"
Paimon flew to Zhongli's side and asked quietly.
"This is a super soul beast, a Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear. Its age is just over 30,000 years, making it one of the most terrifying soul beasts in the Sunset Forest."
A Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear of over 30,000 years… even beasts of 80,000 or 90,000 years tremble before it!
They would turn and flee immediately!
"By normal reasoning, although its age is relatively low, its quality is extremely high."
As he said this, Zhongli paused and glanced at the bear's two claws.
With Du Siji's silver-rank second awakening and body-based martial soul, he could withstand the energy of a 50,000-year soul ring.
For the 30,000-year Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear, defeating a 50,000-year soul beast would be like child's play…
"This Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear would be perfect for your fifth soul ring, Siji. What do you think?"
"I'll follow the Sect Master's arrangement!"
Du Siji cupped his hands, his eyes filled with determination.
The Sect Master would never harm him!
Since the Sect Master said that this super soul beast, the Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear, was very suitable for him, then it must be!
Even though the bear didn't possess fire attributes, and its age was a little lower than ideal.
His body could handle a soul ring of over 50,000 years, so 30,000 years was indeed a bit low.
This is the difference between having and not having backing.
This is also why soul rings are considered the most important resources.
Being able to absorb a soul ring is one thing, but being able to defeat the soul beast to get it is another!
When soul masters absorb "limit" soul rings, they usually can't defeat the soul beast in a one-on-one fight.
Even when ganging up on it, there's a risk of casualties.
That's where experienced seniors come in!
After hearing this, Zhongli nodded.
Respecting others' personal choices is Zhongli's usual way of handling things.
If Du Siji thought that the Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear's age was "too low" and not suitable, then it would be fine to seek a different soul beast.
Of course, doing so might mean missing out on a great opportunity.
Zhongli clenched his right hand, and a radiant energy as bright as the sun gathered in his palm.
In the blink of an eye, an amber-colored spear appeared.
He casually threw it, and the spear shot through the air like an arrow, piercing the Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear…
This was deep within the Sunset Forest, where visibility was extremely low even during the day, with only a faint light filtering through.
The amber-colored spear lit up the area as if it were daytime—no, it was even brighter than daytime.
With just one strike, the Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear was left on the verge of death. The spear dissolved into energy and dispersed into the air.
Du Siji: "???"
Upon reflection, it didn't seem surprising that the Sect Master possessed such immense power, right?
Not daring to hesitate, Du Siji rushed forward and killed the nearly unconscious Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear!
Zhongli had struck casually, but Du Siji had to give it his all—he was afraid he might not even break through the bear's defenses…
The Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear was utterly unwilling!
As the undisputed overlord of the Sunset Forest, it had been defeated with a single strike!
If it weren't for the fact that this person was helping someone obtain a soul ring, it would have been killed instantly.
As a super overlord and a 30,000-year soul beast, its intelligence was not low at all.
The human boy in front of him actually dared to think he could absorb its soul ring...
In just a few moments, Du Siji sat down cross-legged, beginning to absorb the Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear's soul ring.
Suddenly, Zhongli furrowed his brows, looking at the bear's corpse with a bit of surprise, then at Du Siji, who was in the midst of absorbing the soul ring.
"Sect is flourishing!"
"Quite lucky, indeed!"
Zhongli sighed in admiration.
Du Siji was receiving a treatment that not even a protagonist could claim!
In the original timeline, only Bibi Dong had enjoyed such a privilege.
Both arm soul bones came from the same 100,000-year soul beast!
Du Siji's case was different—or rather, his luck was even more extraordinary!
The left and right hand bones of the Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear had been blasted out!
External soul bones were already rare, and they even had growth potential.
The most powerful ability of the Dark Gold Fearclaw Bear was precisely its Dark Gold Fearclaws!
The right claw was the strongest, followed closely by the left.
But Du Siji's luck was just too defiant.
An external soul bone would merge automatically while the soul master was absorbing the soul ring.
In other words, once Du Siji finished absorbing the soul ring, both hand bones would also be absorbed.
By then, as a Soul King, he could probably take on a Soul Saint, especially someone like Zhao Wuji—winning would be a breeze!
Wait, Zhao Wuji?
Zhongli turned his head in a certain direction.
Sure enough, Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai were approaching, albeit somewhat slowly. Upon seeing Zhongli, both of them shivered in shock!
'Oh no...'
How could it be this legendary figure, personally taking a disciple to hunt for a soul?
Dai Mubai felt an icy chill down his spine, cold sweat breaking out.
If it weren't for Zhao Wuji stopping him earlier, he might have said something bad about the Body Sect!
'Hopefully, the Martial God didn't hear anything from that distance.'
"Lord Martial... Martial God!"
Zhao Wuji quickly recovered and clasped his left hand over his right, bowing respectfully towards Zhongli.
"Shrek Academy's Vice Dean Zhao Wuji, along with student Dai Mubai, greets Lord Martial God!"
"Shrek student Dai Mubai greets Lord Martial God!"
Although Dai Mubai was reluctant, he dared not be disrespectful.
Even his emperor father would have to show deference to this figure!
Angering him might lead to the entire Stra Luo Palace being crushed underfoot!
The title "Number One on the Douluo Continent" was not given lightly.
Even the Spirit Hall, as domineering as they were, had remained silent after their two elders were defeated by Zhongli. That alone spoke volumes.
The Body Sect might seem "weak," but as long as Zhongli stood, it was the strongest sect in the world—without question!
When facing an empire, individuals were insignificant.
A regular Title Douluo wouldn't even be a concern for royalty.
But when an individual's power reached Zhongli's level, even the royal family would have no choice but to yield!
Zhongli was momentarily surprised, thinking, 'Speak of the devil.'
After giving them a quick glance, he understood why they were here.
"No need for formalities."
"If you two have matters to attend to, feel free to carry on."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji grabbed Dai Mubai and quickly said, "Lord Martial God, we are indeed busy, so we shall take our leave!"
Before he had finished speaking, Zhao Wuji dragged Dai Mubai along, and in an instant, they were gone.
"Uh..."
Paimon twitched, glancing at their retreating figures, then looking back at Zhongli, mumbling in confusion, "Is Zhongli really that scary?"
