Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 66 Return to the Star Forest

In the Xingdou Great Forest, a group of wild boars suddenly rushed towards a young man. Their charge stirred up a large cloud of dust, and the vibrations produced made people suspect that a small earthquake had occurred.

A red-haired strong man stood beside the young man and said to him:
"The Broken Tooth Pigs have the innate ability to produce tiny spikes from their long tusks, which can cause great damage to the flesh of the creatures pierced by them. They are not considered to be very strong soul beasts alone. However, as you can see, they are a kind of social animals. When they unite, their momentum is very scary, and they are extremely vengeful. If you kill one of them, the whole group will chase you to the ends of the earth. As a target for hunting soul rings, they are a very cost-effective soul beast species."

Facing the aggressive herd of wild boars, he pretended not to see them and asked the boy:
"How about it, Wulin, do you want to use them as spirit rings?"

"Of course not! Dean, don't you have any suggestions?"

These two people are naturally Tang Wulin and Gong Changlong. They came to the Star Dou Great Forest this time to help Tang Wulin obtain the second soul ring.

He didn't expect to encounter such a situation as soon as he entered the Xingdou Great Forest. Thinking about the last time he came here and was chased by a group of wind baboons, Tang Wulin seriously suspected that this place was incompatible with his fate.

Faced with the attacking herd of wild boars, Tang Wulin prepared to meet the enemy, but for a moment he didn't know what to do.

The lowest of these wild boars are at the ten-year level, and there are also those that are a hundred years old. Even the Broken-Tooth Pig in the front has reached the thousand-year level. Tang Wulin is confident that he can deal with it in a one-on-one battle, but facing so many enemies at once is not something he can handle.

Before setting off, Gong Changlong told Tang Wulin that he would only help Tang Wulin find a suitable soul beast, or rescue him when he was in life-threatening situations that he could not handle. He would not interfere with troubles that Tang Wulin could handle on his own.

Gong Changlong nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, it's really a waste to use this kind of soul beast as your Blue Silver Emperor's soul ring, so forget it."

As he spoke, he grabbed Tang Wulin by the collar and carried him onto a tree.

Herds of wild boars just rushed past the trees, and the crisis was naturally resolved.

Looking at Tang Wulin's surprised expression, Gong Changlong said proudly:
"Due to their size, Broken Tooth Pigs usually won't take the initiative to fight enemies that can climb trees. As long as you don't go up a tree first, they won't fight you to death."

"That's it..."

Tang Wulin suddenly realized.

After all, he had only studied in the academy for one year, and during this year neither Wang Yan nor Moon had taught him much about soul beasts, so what Gong Changlong said was basically in his blind spots of knowledge.

When the sound of the wild boars galloping completely disappeared from his ears, Gong Changlong pulled Tang Wulin down from the tree and asked:
"Although it's a little late to ask now, Tang Wulin, what type of spirit ring are you going to give your Blue Silver Emperor?"

"What do you mean?"

Tang Wulin looked a little confused.

Gong Changlong explained:

"Generally speaking, different soul beasts provide different types of soul rings for your martial soul. As a top student of Shrek, you should naturally allocate soul ring types in a planned way. There are usually four types of soul rings for plant-type martial souls."

"The first is to add toxins. Some plant-based martial spirits are highly toxic. Although your Blue Silver Emperor is not included in this range, it is not impossible to add to your Blue Silver Emperor through spirit rings. In fact, your senior sister Tang Ya also took this route." "The second is to increase the number and toughness, that is, to control and attack through purely physical means. Your previous Blue Silver Grass seemed to take this route, but now that it has evolved into the Blue Silver Queen, you have to think carefully about whether you still want to stick to this route."

"The third type is enchantment, which is to add elements to the plants. There are many high-level plants in this world that can use elemental power, such as the famous black ice grass, which can use the power of ice. The older it is, the more horns it has."

"As for the last type, it is to increase vitality. This type of spirit ring is usually chosen by plant-based spirit masters of the auxiliary or healing system. It should have nothing to do with you, but considering the characteristics of your martial spirit, you can also consider this type."

Gong Changlong talked incessantly, and it was obvious that he was very familiar with the knowledge in this area.

After saying this, he shrugged lightly at Tang Wulin.

"You are just preparing to absorb the second spirit ring, and you haven't decided on the development path of your martial soul yet, so you can absorb any of these four. However, I suggest you choose carefully. After all, a spirit master's martial soul can only absorb nine spirit rings at most."

After hearing what he said, Tang Wulin pondered for a moment and quickly came up with the answer.

"I choose the spirit ring with life attribute."

To him, these four development directions seem to be all possible, and Blue Silver Emperor can achieve any of them.

But as for which one is most suitable for him, Tang Wulin thinks it is the fourth one.

For no other reason than the name of his third martial soul is "Son of Nature".

Gong Changlong blinked in surprise, then smiled with satisfaction.

"Very good, you are worthy of being Master Mu's disciple. You really have a thorough understanding of yourself. In fact, among these four types of spirit rings, I most recommend the development direction of enhancing vitality. Only this development direction is most suitable for your Blue Silver Emperor that is full of strong vitality!"

He said:
"Come with me, I will take you to find a suitable soul beast."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked in one direction.

Tang Wulin quickly followed his steps and asked:

"Dean, do you know where there are soul beasts with life attributes?"

The distribution of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest changes every day. Although plant-type soul beasts do not change locations as frequently as animal-type soul beasts, they are always at risk of being eaten by other soul beasts. As long as you don't come here for a period of time, the environment here will change drastically. In theory, it is impossible to know which soul beasts are specifically where.

However, Gong Changlong laughed heartily and said:
"Although I can't say that I can definitely help you find a suitable soul beast there, I can guarantee that the possibility of finding a relevant soul beast there is much greater than in other places. Just follow me without worry."

Looking at Gong Changlong's confident smile, Tang Wulin asked no more questions and followed him silently.

He also heard about Gong Changlong's previous identity within the past year. Nicknamed "Beast King", his knowledge of soul beasts alone, let alone his actual strength, must be among the top three in the entire Shrek Academy. He is indeed trustworthy.
