Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 28 First Evolution

"Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear?"

Su Wen's eyes sparkled with joy.

Several people stood in the treetop, looking down at the scene below. A wounded dark gold dinosaur was roaring at a large black python, crouching low and baring its teeth as a warning.

"Injured?" Yan Shaozhe raised an eyebrow.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a rare soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. They had only encountered one ten-thousand-year-old one along the way. However, due to its terrifying combat power, even with Yan Shaozhe present, they did not provoke it and walked away at a distance.

This dark gold dinosaur bear is exactly the right age, judging from its size, it is about three or four thousand years old.

"It's alright..."

Su Wen's lips curled up in a smile.

Once captured in a Poké Ball, any injury will heal instantly the first time, essentially a "refresh." He had tested this on Ice King, so he wasn't in a hurry to make a move.

And in his field of vision.

Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear

[Potential: 8]

[Cultivation Level: 3,700 years]

[Evaluation: A spirit beast race with extremely high average potential. Their combat and defense are exceptionally strong among all spirit beast races, making them one of the best pet choices...]

He added a casual remark.

As expected of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the dark black python opposite it was thirty or forty meters long, with solid scales on its back that absorbed most of the sunlight. It was coiled on the tree trunk, its pupils cold and sinister. If it weren't for the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, it would be difficult to find it.

However, there were also obvious injuries on the python's back.

Look at the panel again.

With over 30,000 years of cultivation, the Spirit Ink Serpent's combat strength is definitely not weak among soul beasts of the same realm...

Xiao Yan of the Soul Beast Realm can fight against beings with cultivation levels seven or eight times higher than himself; his ability to fight beyond his level is like flowing water.

"If you set your sights on something, you have to act on it as soon as possible."

Yan Shaozhe reminded him from the side.

"Although the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is powerful, it's only a matter of time before it's devoured by the 30,000-year-old Spirit Ink Serpent. However, the Spirit Ink Serpent will also have to pay a considerable price..."

"Roar!"

The Dark Gold Hollow Claw Bear roared once more.

Its abdominal wound became increasingly obvious, with a bloody hole, as if it had been bitten hard by the Spirit Ink Serpent. As time went on, the blood flowing from its abdomen became as thick as ink, causing its entire body to slowly stiffen.

"The Spirit Ink Serpent, some scholars classify it as a poison-type serpent. Its ability is to bite its prey and inject its own unique blood. This blood can merge with the prey's blood, turning into solidified ink, slowly solidifying the opponent's blood..."

Su Wen secretly recalled the knowledge in the library.

Living in the Sea God Pavilion for years, Elder Mu tacitly allowed him to enter the library to study at any time. So he systematically studied cultivation techniques, soul beast illustrations, and difficult problems, and today he finally put those skills to good use.

"Go!"

Without further hesitation, Su Wen hurled the purple Poké Ball he was holding tightly in his palm, and with the help of the wind, it flew precisely toward the Dark Gold Airclaw Bear.

"Roar!"

Two astonished gazes simultaneously turned to the treetop.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear instinctively wanted to escape, but its internal injuries and nearly congealed blood caused insufficient blood supply to its brain, making it dizzy and causing it to collapse to the ground, where it was then enveloped by a beam of intense white light.

"hiss……"

A hint of annoyance flickered in the cold eyes of the Spirit Ink Serpent.

It had spent almost half a month hunting this terrifying golden-clawed bear, and now it was giving away such delicious and nutritious meals so easily—it was naturally unwilling to accept it...

But a terrifying aura rose from beside that weak human.

Seeing this, the Spirit Ink Serpent had no choice but to quietly leave.

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend...

"Level 31!"

The purple Poké Ball under the tree disappeared and then appeared in Su Wen's palm.

At the same time, the sound of a bottleneck breaking quietly rang out within Su Wen's body.

[Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear] [Level: 31]

【Strength: 77.4 (5.0)】

Speed: 12.4 (6.4)

Endurance: 65.4 (5.4)

[Defense: 81.1 (10.1)]

[Skill: Dark Gold Terrorclaw (Brown)]

【Attribute: Gold (Ultimate)】

[Potential: 8 (Excellent)]

Next evolutionary stage: Behemoth

grass……

Su Wen's pupils suddenly contracted.

At first glance, these numbers make one think it's a seven or eight thousand-year-old soul beast. Its defense and strength of seventy or eighty are almost seven or eight times that of a soul beast of the same level!
But who would have thought that this was just a thousand-year-old dark-feared golden-clawed bear?

Furthermore, its skill, Dark Terror Golden Claw, with its brown quality, is a full two levels higher than the Ice Emperor's skill, "Ice Domain"! (The color of heaven and earth is dark yellow)
Having the ultimate attribute of metal is normal; if it weren't, that would be problematic...

However, after reaching level 30, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear did not advance in rank?
Is it its second stage, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, or does the soul beast captured at this crucial juncture automatically lose its ability to advance?
However, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's strength made him put this problem out of his mind.

They began investigating other hurricanes and the Ice Emperor.

【Storm Baboon】

[Level: Level 31]

【Strength: 14.4 (5.0)】

Speed: 48.4 (6.4)

Endurance: 16.4 (5.4)

[Defense: 14.1 (10.1)]

[Skills: Gale Blade (Cyan), Revitalizing Wind (Cyan)]

【Attribute: Gale (Top Level)】

[Potential: 8 (Excellent)]

Next Evolution Stage: Hurricane Demon Ape

After transforming into Storm Baboon, Hurricane suddenly grew from its original 2.5 meters to about 3 meters. The muscle lines of its arms and legs became more and more obvious, and it became fuller from its original thinness. At the same time, a light purple line extended from the edge of its eye socket to its temple, and its fur became cleaner and whiter.

"Sure enough, my attributes have also advanced!" Su Wen grinned.

Although Gale isn't quite the ultimate type, it's very close. Similar to the Fire type of Witchwind, this wind is among the best of all Wind types. This caused Hurricane's combat power to skyrocket, transforming it from a long-term reserve that could only watch from inside its Poké Ball in every battle into a main force.

Agility-based Soul Masters also have a future.

Another newly introduced skill, "Revival Wind," can heal the target's injuries and even restore soul power. However, it is not quite as good as a professional "healer," but it can solve the immediate problem in the early stages and can be considered a transitional skill.

Moreover, the main reason why Hurricane could only watch from the sidelines before was because Ice Emperor's skill "Ice Domain" could not distinguish between friend and foe, so releasing it was useless, as its most advantageous speed was largely negated.

But things are different now.

【Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion】

[Level: Level 31]

【Strength: 41.4 (5.0)】

Speed: 13.4 (6.4)

Endurance: 32.4 (5.4)

[Defense: 59.1 (10.1)]

[Skills: Eternal Frozen Domain (Purple) Ice Claw (Cyan)]

【Attributes: Ice (Extreme) Poison (Normal)】

[Potential: 7 (Peerless)]

Next Evolution Stage: Frost Emperor Scorpion
