Chapter 130: The Silver Ying Beast
Jing Hongchen gazed at the lush trees of Star Dou Forest, feeling somewhat nostalgic.
"I didn't expect to be back so soon.
"Yuhao, this time, you better not try to steal the Sacred Beast again."
"After what happened last time, the Great Beasts of Star Dou will be keeping a very close watch on her.
"Under these conditions, getting anywhere near her will be almost impossible."
"Besides, with my strength, I'm no match for Ditian.
"Last time, we only managed to leave unharmed because we had the Sacred Beast and Ditian made a promise. This time, we won't be so lucky."
Huo Yuhao chuckled internally after all, the Sacred Beast was right beside them.
Of course, he wasn't going to point that out.
Instead, he simply nodded. "Understood, Principal. Let's keep moving deeper into Star Dou. I need a strong enough soul beast to become my soul spirit."
Generally speaking, the deeper one ventured into Star Dou, the stronger the soul beasts became just like when Da Ming and Er Ming moved further inward as they grew stronger.
That said, Huo Yuhao's situation was different.
Unlike the original timeline, Electrolux the true creator of soul spirits was still inside his body.
Although Electrolux was just a fragment of divine consciousness, his power was still formidable.
And more importantly, he could harness the strength of the Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Skydream Iceworm.
This meant that very few beings in the entire Douluo Continent could stand against him.
Di Qiu'er, walking beside him, suddenly said, **"If Senior Yuhao needs a powerful soul beast, I can lead the way.
"I lived in Star Dou Forest for a while, so I know my way around the inner regions."**
Her curiosity about soul spirits had reached its peak she was eager to see the process firsthand.
Jing Hongchen raised an eyebrow. "Di Qiu'er, I didn't expect you to have such an experience."
Star Dou Forest was an extremely dangerous place.
For her to have lived in its depths, she must have had a powerful background.
After all, while Di Qiu'er's talent was exceptional, her strength wasn't enough to survive in the inner regions alone.
If she hadn't been protected, she would have long been devoured by soul beasts.
Huo Yuhao nodded. **"My Spirit Eyes martial soul still needs a soul spirit. Looks like I'll have to rely on Junior Sister Qiu'er to find a suitable one.
"However, I have another request after I obtain my new soul spirit, I want you to help me find a Golden Tortoise that's over 10,000 years old and is near death."**
Di Qiu'er looked at Huo Yuhao, puzzled.
**"I understand finding a soul beast for your soul spirit, but why a Golden Tortoise?
"Do you plan on making it your soul spirit? But your martial soul isn't suited for it."**
Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Of course, it's not for me Golden Tortoises are much better suited for Xu Sanshi."
However, his real reason for seeking a Golden Tortoise was to obtain the Life Gold.
For soul spirits, absorbing immense life force energy could help them take on a more tangible form.
Normally, soul spirits couldn't stray too far from their soul master, but if their state improved, they could move independently over much greater distances, enhancing their combat potential.
In the original story, there was a Golden Tortoise that had devoured Life Gold but suffered severe damage as a result, leaving it on the brink of death.
Desperate to prolong its existence, it eventually became Xu Sanshi's soul spirit.
What was truly fascinating was that this Golden Tortoise wasn't actually a 10,000 year soul beast it was a 100,000 year soul beast!
It had intentionally concealed its true power, fooling even Ditian himself.
If Ditian had known, he never would have allowed it to participate in the soul spirit experiment.
After all, a 100,000 year soul beast becoming a soul spirit had vastly different implications compared to a mere 10,000 year one.
Huo Yuhao put on a serious expression.
"I have my reasons for seeking it. Junior Sister Qiu'er, you haven't forgotten what I told you before, have you?"
Di Qiu'er blinked.
Then, she recalled how Huo Yuhao had mentioned that his martial soul had mutated, allowing him to glimpse into the future through fate's power.
So… did this Golden Tortoise have some special significance in the future?
She nodded. "Understood."
Huo Yuhao smiled. "Good. Principal, we'll rely on you to lead the way, and Junior Sister Qiu'er will guide us once we're deeper inside."
Since Di Qiu'er knew Star Dou's inner regions best, letting her lead the way was undoubtedly the wisest choice.
As for the other Spirit Transmission Tower members, they had no complaints after all, they also needed strong soul beasts for their own soul spirits.
Deep Within Star Dou Forest
A peculiar soul beast rested on the forest floor.
It had a compact body covered in silver scales, thick limbs, and protruding fangs, making it rather ugly.
Jing Hongchen peered at it with sharp eyes.
**"This should be the extremely rare Silver Ying Beast.
"As far as I remember, no one has seen one in thousands of years.
"Even the Sun Moon Empire's bestiary only contains an illustration of it.
"I thought they had gone extinct, but to think I'd see one today!
"This soul beast has an incredibly powerful innate soul skill, and it possesses a spiritual attribute.
"It's a perfect match for Yuhao."**
Di Qiu'er nodded. "Yes, it's very compatible with Senior Yuhao's Spirit Eyes martial soul."
Huo Yuhao had no objections.
With the massive amount of sealed origin power in his body, he was already a ticking time bomb.
He couldn't handle a 100,000 year soul spirit right now he needed a temporary stepping stone like the Silver Ying Beast.
"Yuhao, stay here. I'll take care of it for you."
Jing Hongchen flew toward the Silver Ying Beast.
The beast let out a fierce roar, preparing to resist.
A golden energy beam shot from its mouth, aiming straight for Jing Hongchen.
However, against a Titled Douluo, such an attack was useless.
In an instant, a protective soul barrier surrounded Jing Hongchen, nullifying the attack.
Then, his soul rings lit up, and golden light spread outward from his body.
The Silver Ying Beast suddenly stiffened, its body coated in metallic radiance.
Despite its talent for copying other soul beasts' or soul masters' abilities, its "Mimicry" ability had limits.
To successfully copy a soul skill, its strength needed to match or exceed the original user.
For instance, unless it reached 100,000 years of cultivation, it could never copy a Titled Douluo's soul skills.
"Yuhao, you can come over now. The Silver Ying Beast has been subdued."
Jing Hongchen motioned for Huo Yuhao to approach.
