Chapter 13 Second Soul Ring (Part 1)
Soul rings under 2,500 years old are considered to be at this level by the second soul ring. The third soul rings on the continent are generally under 1,760 years old.
It's terrifying to think that Li Luochen's second spirit ring is going to surpass other people's third spirit ring. According to Li Luochen's calculations, his third spirit ring should be able to reach the level of seven or eight thousand years.
As long as one's mental strength is strong enough, achieving a fourth spirit ring of ten thousand years is not a dream. Moreover, Li Luochen felt that his mental strength was indeed quite strong, at least a level stronger than that of other spirit masters of the same realm.
Perhaps that's what makes him special.
Since Li Luochen's soul ring this time requires an age of less than 2,500 years, there are no such soul beasts in the soul beast forests raised by the major duchies. Even if there are any that meet the age requirement, they cannot be dragons.
For those born in the 2500s, fire-attribute dragon-type soul beasts are all very demanding, but Flander doesn't care. He believes that the more demanding the soul rings are for this little monster Li Luochen, the stronger he will become in the future.
Once you absorb a spirit ring, it's for life. Li Luochen doesn't have the ability to change spirit rings like Tang San. Therefore, he has very high requirements for the quality of each spirit ring.
Currently, it seems that Li Luochen's requirements for spirit rings are even more demanding than those of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Li Luochen wants to refine the Dragon Pattern Staff into a multi-attribute artifact.
Since dragons are never short of power, by increasing their power while also adding multiple attributes, the Dragon Pattern Staff might be able to evolve into a completely new super martial spirit.
Li Luochen has already decided that he must collect all seven attributes when he becomes a Title Douluo. As for the Nine Ultimate Numbers, that may have to wait until he becomes a god.
Li Luochen has now chosen a fire-attribute dragon seed as his second soul ring, while his first soul ring is wind-attribute, which does not conflict with fire. Therefore, he can absorb it with confidence. However, the further he cultivates, the more dangerous it becomes.
After all, combining opposing attributes will cause an upheaval, unless Li Luochen has powerful cultivation to control it, or the Dragon Pattern Staff evolves into a top-tier weapon spirit that can withstand the attribute upheaval.
Although this path is extremely dangerous, the rewards will definitely be high. The attack of fused elements is incredibly powerful, after all, fused elements are no longer a concept for ordinary soul masters.
This time, Li Luochen is preparing to go to the Star Dou Great Forest.
One of the three most famous gathering places of soul beasts on the Douluo Continent. Its area is vast, almost equal to the size of the Barak Kingdom, spanning the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Two-fifths of its area lies within the Heaven Dou Empire, while the remaining three-fifths are in the Star Luo Empire. It is a vast primeval forest with complex terrain, including wetlands and swamps.
The spirit beasts there are extremely terrifying; the closer you get to the center of the forest, the stronger they become. There are even spirit beasts that are 100,000 years old. Any spirit master, as long as they are strong enough and lucky, can find the most suitable spirit ring for themselves there.
Why are we going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls this time?
When Flander and the others were helping Li Yusong obtain his sixth spirit ring last time, Flander saw a blazing fire dragon with over two thousand years of cultivation.
The Blazing Fire Dragon is a dragon-type soul beast with true dragon bloodline. It is an extremely rare fire-attribute dragon-type soul beast. Flander noted down the location of that soul beast.
It's only been less than half a year, so it shouldn't be hunted down. This Blazing Fire Dragon is extremely suitable for Li Luochen's second spirit ring. Of course, if it's gone, it might be hunted down by other spirit masters.
Alternatively, you can choose fire-attribute soul beasts like the Crimson Armored Earth Dragon or the Crimson Fire Dragon Lizard.
The Star Dou Great Forest is located directly south of the Heaven Dou Empire, straddling the two empires. Due to the abundance of spirit beasts here, it is also the area where the border between the two countries is least clearly defined. Looking at a map, most of the Star Dou Great Forest lies within the Star Luo Empire's territory, a fact that the Heaven Dou Empire has never acknowledged.
As one of the three major habitats of wild soul beasts, this is naturally the place that soul masters most hope to come to, because every time they come here, it means that they are about to advance in their cultivation level. No one knows exactly how many years the Star Dou Great Forest has existed on the Douluo Continent, but once you enter the forest, its dense, sky-covering vegetation is enough to tell people how ancient it has been.
The tall trees are at least twenty meters high, and this is only the outermost layer. The dense forest has no paths at all, and the shadows of the trees make it impossible to see the true scenery inside.
Upon reaching the forest, the air became even more pleasant, as if the temperature had dropped several degrees. The refreshing sensation, carrying the scent of damp earth, continuously stimulated Li Luochen's sense of smell.
"The environment of the Star Dou Great Forest is truly wonderful; no wonder it can nurture so many powerful soul beasts!"
Li Luochen sighed, "The Star Dou Great Forest is so beautiful because the Silver Dragon King was sleeping here. Before he fell asleep, he released his life energy, which gave birth to the Star Dou Great Forest."
This is one of the reasons why the Silver Dragon King is the ruler of all soul beasts; all the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest have benefited from her kindness.
"Of course. As the richest soul beast forest in Douluo Continent, Star Dou Great Forest has a long history. No one knows how long it has existed. All that is known is that advanced soul masters need to come here to improve."
Flander adjusted his glasses and said calmly.
In fact, no one in this world understands the terrifying depths of the Star Dou Great Forest better than Li Luochen.
There are seven ferocious beasts and at least several hundred thousand-year-old soul beasts. In the current soul master world, only the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python are known to be the kings of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Little did they know that the two of them were merely gatekeepers, although from the perspective of soul beasts, they possessed considerable talent and the potential to become ferocious beasts.
However, the Star Dou Great Forest is still ruled by ferocious beasts, only they have all gone into hibernation in this era, probably that unfortunate ice silkworm.
But it has nothing to do with him. He's not Huo Gua; he's only here to obtain a spirit ring.
Flander led Li Luochen to the inner side of the Star Dou Forest, a gathering place for hundred-year and thousand-year soul beasts.
That fiery dragon lived in a pile of rocks; it was the 'ruler' of that place, and no spirit beast dared to challenge it.
Flander led Li Luochen and they arrived in an hour.
How to describe the pile of boulders in front of us? To be precise, it looks like a huge artificial mountain.
A fiery red dragon is lying down and sleeping.
A Blazing Fire Dragon that grows to over ten meters in length will become a Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and for every meter it grows, it gains an additional thousand years of cultivation. Although the Blazing Fire Dragon before them was coiled up asleep, it was clearly visible to a Soul Master.
This blazing dragon was a little over twelve meters long and approximately 2,250 years old. The age was just right; although Li Luochen's current limit for absorbing spirit rings was 2,500 years, he was well aware of the domineering nature of dragon-type spirit beasts.
This kind of high-quality soul beast, which is still some distance from 2,500 years ago, is just right, perfect!
