69: Thousand snakes strangling

"Advancing too quickly is of no benefit to you. Stabilize your Soul Power first before absorbing more."

As Bibi Dong spoke, she motioned for Dugu Yan to come over, placing her delicate hand on the girl's shoulder.

She used her Soul Power to investigate Dugu Yan's condition.

"The power of the Spirit Bone you absorbed is also compressed together, and there's surplus energy expanding your Meridians that hasn't been fully released. Even if you don't Cultivate, you should rapidly Breakthrough a few more levels during this time, reaching at least level thirty-eight."

"Mm, thank you, Supreme Pontiff!"

Bibi Dong nodded slightly, then closed her eyes to rest, speaking no more.

Dugu Yan approached Su Wen and looked at him. "Could you hold onto the Spirit Bone for me first?"

"Sure, no problem!"

Su Wen put away the Spirit Bone. With this external Spirit Bone...

Dugu Yan could definitely try the snow-colored swans kiss.

In the future, as her toxins grew stronger, the Spirit Bone could also grow along with them.

There was no need to worry about any drawbacks.

Dugu Yan looked at Su Wen's profile, a hint of a smile touching the corners of her mouth.

She knew.

Su Wen had started to treat her as one of his own.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to take out this external Spirit Bone.

Even if he did, he didn't have to give it to her.

Given the rarity of an external Spirit Bone, the two Titled Douluo nearby had likely been tempted as well.

It was only due to their Face and their relationship with Su Wen that they didn't act.

"What is your Third Soul Skill?"

In the Spirit Master's world, asking about someone else's Spirit Ability was considered impolite.

However, there was no one else on the carriage.

Su Wen was also straightforward.

Hu Liena and Tian Yue also looked at Dugu Yan curiously.

She was currently following the path of power attack and control.

They were also curious about how strong a poison-type Battle Soul Master could be.

"Myriad Snakes Strangulation!"

As Dugu Yan spoke, she reached out her hand. A faint phantom of a small emerald-green snake coiled around her arm, letting out a hissing sound.

Simultaneously, a phantom of a small scorpion appeared in her palm, looking very similar to the Golden-Eyed Poisonous Scorpion.

Although they were only phantoms, their eerie and cold-blooded nature was still clearly visible.

"When used, tens of thousands of green snake and poisonous scorpion phantoms will appear to strike the target simultaneously. It can also attack multiple targets. They carry a paralyzing poison; anyone wounded will inevitably be poisoned."

"Even when I'm not using a Spirit Ability, I can summon them at any time, though the numbers are limited. I need to use a Spirit Ability to manifest more."

The others were somewhat surprised; this was effectively an area-of-effect damage Spirit Ability.

On a battlefield, it would certainly produce unexpected results.

Everyone chatted and laughed, and by the time they returned to Spirit Hall, it was already dusk.

Su Wen parted ways with the others. Just as he finished washing up, Gold Crocodile Douluo's figure appeared in the small courtyard.

He was carrying two Spirit Beasts in his hands.

Gold Crocodile Douluo tossed them casually onto the ground.

He asked.

"Kid, I've caught the Spirit Beasts. Can Yueer really absorb a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast for her fourth ring?"

"Senior Gold Crocodile, you're really fast!"

Su Wen looked at the two unconscious Spirit Beasts on the ground: a five-thousand-five-hundred-year Spirit Fox and a ten-thousand-year Armored Giant Crocodile.

The Spirit Fox was less than a meter long, elegant in posture, with a mix of blue and white fur and three tails longer than its body.

The Armored Giant Crocodile was five or six meters long, covered in earthy yellow scales, with teeth as sharp as blades.

Both Spirit Beasts were covered in wounds of various sizes and were currently unconscious.

"Heh, you were in a carriage, while I was flying at full speed. Naturally, the speed is different. Besides, I've long had a plan for Yueer's Spirit configuration, so I naturally knew where these Spirit Beasts lived."

"Kid, you still haven't told me if it'll actually work?"

Gold Crocodile Douluo was still quite concerned about Tian Yue's situation.

A ten-thousand-year fourth ring—if this actually happened, wouldn't it mean Yueer's talent was not at all inferior to the Young Lord's!

"Second Consecrator, please hand them over to Teacher. Teacher will make the arrangements. Whether it works depends on whether they are willing to endure hardship!"

Hearing this.

Gold Crocodile Douluo was a bit dazed. What did their willingness to endure hardship have to do with Tian Yue's ten-thousand-year plan?

"Fine, I won't ask further. If it really succeeds, I can add another condition... Just deliver these two Spirit Beasts to her yourself."

Without waiting for Su Wen to speak, Gold Crocodile Douluo quickly left the courtyard.

He didn't want to meet Bibi Dong alone, especially if he had to ask for her help; he'd surely be mocked by her again.

"High Priest!"

Gold Crocodile Douluo stepped into the Hall of Worship, glancing at the six figures at the feet of the Angel before finally resting his gaze on the High Priest.

"You're injured!"

Qian Daoliu looked at Gold Crocodile Douluo in surprise.

"Second Brother, you're actually injured! Is there anyone left on this continent who can hurt you?"

The other consecrators also smelled the blood. Looking at Gold Crocodile Douluo, they were all shocked.

As a level ninety-eight Peak Douluo, there was only one person on the entire continent who could wound him.

Only one person!

Tang Chen!

"Has that man returned?"

Qian Daoliu's expression was subtle.

"No, it was a Spirit Beast!"

Gold Crocodile Douluo shook his head and then recounted everything that had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The other consecrators showed expressions of disbelief after hearing it.

A Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear over a hundred thousand years old!

A black dragon comparable to a Limit Douluo!

"High Priest, do you know anything about this black dragon?"

Gold Crocodile Douluo asked curiously.

Sure enough, Qian Daoliu shook his head. "I've never heard of a black dragon, but there is a Sea Soul Beast in the ocean whose strength has reached the level of a Limit Douluo!"

"You just said Tian Yue's fourth spirit ring is planned to be a Ten Thousand Year one?"

Qian Daoliu caught the key point. A Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast ring wasn't as easy to succeed with as a thousand year second ring.

A thousand-year spirit ring only requires meeting physical fitness standards, but a ten-thousand-year spirit ring requires Mental Energy in addition to the body.

"It's still unclear, but seeing how confident that kid is, heh, I think it should be fine..."

Lion and Green Phoenix looked at each other. Today's events were truly becoming more shocking by the moment... Meanwhile, Su Wen called over a few Hall Guard Knight and had them lock up the Spirit Beasts.

Among them, the Armored Giant Crocodile was to be whipped once every morning, once at noon, and once again at night.

As long as it didn't die, the Armored Giant Crocodile was to endure endless suffering.

After giving his instructions, Su Wen headed to Bibi Dong's bedchamber.

During this time, Bibi Dong had been insisting that he Cultivate in her room.

When Su Wen arrived, he saw several maidservants going in and out, carrying bathing supplies.

Knowing Bibi Dong was washing up, he hesitated about whether to go in.

"Xiaowen, what are you doing standing outside?"

"Why haven't you come in yet?"

Bibi Dong's voice suddenly drifted out from the bedchamber.

She had clearly already noticed his arrival.

"Teacher!"

Su Wen walked into the room; the maidservants had already withdrawn.

Bibi Dong was in front of a bronze mirror, wearing a purple nightgown. Beneath the slightly open neckline, one could glimpse her fair skin and delicate collarbones.

She held a wooden comb, brushing her hair.

Su Wen breathed in the scent of violets from her recent bath that filled the room.

He spoke:

"Teacher, I've come to Cultivate."

"Mm, get on the bed."

Bibi Dong glanced at him, her voice indifferent, revealing no emotion.
