208: Chapter 208 The Outbreak of the Far North Beast Tide
Hu Liena puffed out her cheeks and followed him; she didn't care about anything else.
Holding Su Wen's arm, she arrived at Bibi Dong's room.
Before Hu Liena could even say hello, Bibi Dong's cold gaze swept over first: "Nana, don't cling to your Senior Brother like a child."
Hu Liena didn't say a word and obediently let go of Su Wen.
Teacher was always reminding her to keep her distance from Senior Brother.
Clearly, she and Senior Brother were childhood friends!
Seeing this, Bibi Dong showed a satisfied expression.
During breakfast together, Su Wen's sixth spirit ring was mentioned.
Bibi Dong had already pre-selected several suitable Spirit Beasts.
"Teacher, I already have a target for my sixth spirit ring!"
Su Wen had been thinking about it for many days.
He planned to have Xiao Wu fill the position of the sixth spirit ring.
Xiao Wu might not be perfectly suited for him.
But a 100,000-year spirit ring is a 100,000-year spirit ring, after all.
While providing two Spirit Abilities, it could also rapidly increase his Soul Power Rank.
If Tang San hadn't undergone Rebirth, Su Wen might have taken the most stable development path.
In that case, Xiao Wu would have been set for the seventh spirit ring position.
"Is it that Soft Bones Rabbit?"
Bibi Dong spoke up.
"Ah?"
Su Wen instinctively looked at Bibi Dong.
"You think your affairs can be hidden from me?"
Seeing Su Wen dazed, Bibi Dong's chin tilted up slightly, her voice carrying a hint of smugness she hadn't even noticed herself.
"Teacher, so you knew!"
Su Wen felt a bit awkward but wasn't entirely surprised.
"Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bones Rabbits are rare to begin with; we only found two in the Star Dou Great Forest—your A Rou and that rabbit that escaped."
Bibi Dong's words made Su Wen realize there had likely been human monitors following him that day in Nuoding City.
He was somewhat surprised; Bibi Dong was still quite persistent about hundred-thousand-year spirit rings.
Since she knew, why did she travel all the way to the Extreme North Land?
When Su Wen asked about his confusion, Bibi Dong said amusedly, "Is a master supposed to fight her Disciple for a spirit ring?"
She took a sip of porridge and continued unhurriedly, "I'm not in a hurry for my spirit rings; Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts can be chosen slowly, and besides, I have twin Spirits. But your situation is a bit different. She is a Shape-shifting Spirit Beast who can be dealt with at any time, and with A Rou there—from the way A Rou looks, she'd even be willing to trick the girl into becoming your spirit ring."
"And..."
"You only have one Spirit. By normal logic, you could only attempt a hundred-thousand-year ring at your ninth spirit ring!"
"But with this Xiao Wu, you can have an extra 100,000-year spirit ring!"
"In the future, when you become a Titled Douluo and possess two 100,000-year spirit rings, you will be one of the few top experts on this continent. This will also be your key to breaking through to a Limit Douluo."
Hu Liena listened from the side, feeling a bit dizzy. What Xiao Wu? What Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast?
She couldn't join the conversation, so she could only silently eat her food.
Su Wen, however, felt a bit warmed; it turned out Bibi Dong had been considering things for him all along.
"However, I don't suggest you choose her for your sixth spirit ring. Save her for the seventh. After all, the seventh spirit ring isn't guaranteed to be a hundred-thousand-year one."
"The Martial Soul True Body of the seventh spirit ring is a Spirit Master's most important Spirit Ability. The age of the spirit ring determines the magnitude of the attribute boost for that Martial Soul True Body!"
"The Soft Bones Rabbit only provides life-saving skills. You have so many fighters around you that you don't lack survival methods; what you lack is a Close-combat Power Attack!"
Bibi Dong gave her suggestion.
Seeing Su Wen hesitate.
She spoke: "Then prepare for both. Anyway, you still need about three months to achieve a Breakthrough..."
"Teacher, can I go and absorb the Origin power of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm?"
"Probably not. Its energy is very strong; you're not suited for it yet!"
*Burp!*
Just then, a loud burp sounded at the dining table. Su Wen and Bibi Dong instinctively looked at Hu Liena.
Hu Liena smiled sheepishly; unable to join the conversation, she had instead stuffed herself early.
"Alright, now that you're full, hurry up and go Cultivate!"
With Hu Liena there, Bibi Dong couldn't show too much affection, so she put on her masterly air and urged the two of them.
In the following time, Su Wen entered a peaceful period of two months.
On this day, in the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, an emergency battle report was quickly delivered to Emperor Xue Ye.
The Extreme North Land had suddenly launched a beast tide, attacking human towns and seizing territories within the Heaven Dou Empire for hundreds of miles.
Multiple Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts and numerous powerful Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts had appeared.
In the imperial court, everyone was shocked upon hearing this news.
It had been many years since Spirit Beasts had attacked human territory on such a scale.
Even if there were beast tides, they usually started from the Star Dou Great Forest. When had a beast tide ever occurred in the Extreme North Land?
"Your Majesty, according to the message sent back, the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts are demanding ten thousand year profound ice marrow from humans. It's likely that a human expert took something belonging to them, which triggered the beast tide. Something that a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast values so much must be extraordinary. We should also investigate who took the ten thousand year profound ice marrow and what exactly it is..."
"In addition, we should dispatch a large army as soon as possible to block the beast tide and notify Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to come to our aid!"
Prince Xue Xing immediately stood up. The number of Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts was quite high.
Once this news spread, he believed many Titled Douluo would head there.
No one could resist the temptation of a 100,000-year spirit bone.
This was also an immense danger, but the number of people coming would still not be small.
For Spirit Masters, opportunity often comes with danger. If it weren't for the fact that the Heaven Dou Empire couldn't handle it alone, Prince Xue Xing would certainly be willing to lead the army to the front lines himself.
...
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, a beast tide has broken out in the Extreme North Land, and it has spread over a vast area. This matter has already become known."
"It's located on the northern border of the Heaven Dou Empire. Emperor Xue Ye will likely ask us for help before long!"
"It's said that the number of Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts is no less than five. This is truly a shocking number."
"The Extreme North Land, such a frigid place, is actually not weaker than the Star Dou Great Forest at all."
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, if the two of you join forces, could you take down one Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast?"
Ning Fengzhi felt that Spirit Hall would also head there upon receiving the news. By helping the Heaven Dou Empire eliminate the danger, they could win the people's hearts and possibly obtain Spirit Bones. His Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could not afford to fall behind.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo had both reached a Bottleneck, with no signs of a Breakthrough in recent years.
A 100,000-year spirit bone might help them reach the next level.
"Fengzhi, if all three of us go, there will be no one to guard the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
How could Sword Douluo not know what Ning Fengzhi meant?
The temptation of a 100,000-year spirit bone was indeed very great.
"Uncle Jian, I believe no one will strike at our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at a time like this."
Ning Fengzhi knew that Spirit Hall had been continuously expanding in recent years.
It already showed signs of threatening the entire continent.
If they were allowed to obtain another 100,000-year spirit bone this time, another Super Douluo might appear.
At this moment, in the northern region of the Heaven Dou Empire, hundreds of thousands of Spirit Beasts were trampling through human towns and heading deep into the heart of the Empire.
Countless Extreme North Ice Birds filled the sky. Wherever they passed, the ground below turned into a World of ice and snow.
The Heaven Dou Spirit Master Legions that had hastily set up defenses in those human cities had already become ice sculptures and corpses.
The Ice Empress grabbed a human Spirit Master and threw him away. The tumbling Spirit Master was immediately devoured by the surrounding Spirit Beasts.
"Hmph, damned humans. This time, this Empress will definitely make you pay the price!"
