Chapter 14: Chapter 14
Lin Fan was naturally unaware of the conversation that took place between Di Tian and Brigitte. Right now, he, Gu Yuena, and Zi Ji had left the star Dou Great Forest core area and continued to move forward.
Lin Fan was a little curious about what Brigitte had said To Di Tian to the point of making her suddenly agree to hand Gu Yuena over to him. However, he was still very young and was only at level 10. Did they really believe that he was able to protect Gu Yuena alone?
However, Lin Fan didn't think much of it for the time being. He knew that Brigitte was the guardian of the Great Star Dou Forest and had always opposed cruelty to soul beasts. In the series Douluo Dalu III, Brigitte is portrayed as a kind-hearted soul creature, who has no evil intentions towards humanity. Lin Fan assumed that the talk earlier must have been related to Gu Yuena.
Zi Ji, despite not agreeing to help Lin Fan find the soul ring, now slowed her pace. He glanced at Lin Fan who was still clasping his hands tightly, while his gaze was full of hope.
"You little brat... He's still a kid..."Zi Ji murmured in his heart. His gaze that was previously full of impatience slowly softened. After all, his master had already handed this boy over to him. There was also a mysterious human woman who seemed to be supporting Lin Fan, probably coming from a large family in the human world.
Zi Ji wasn't too worried that anyone would be able to snatch Gu Yuena's soul ring. He is the Silver Dragon King. Even though his strength and memory were sealed, his instincts and natural strength would still protect him in danger.
Since The Beast God in Tian had chosen to hand Gu Yuena over to Lin Fan, there must have been a reason behind his decision.
Thinking of that, Zi Ji finally smiled and said, " Alright, son. After we get to the outskirts of the forest, I will help you find a hundred-year-old soul ring that suits you..."
"The Hundred Year soul ring? That's not enough, " Lin Fan said quickly. "I want a thousand-year Soul ring. Put me down now. My martial soul can absorb it!"
Zi Ji looked at him in surprise. "You want to absorb the Thousand-Year soul ring as your first ring? Are you kidding me? You're human. Only our Master can surpass the age limit of the soul ring with his true body..."
However, seeing Lin Fan's resolute and confident gaze, Zi Ji decided to test the boy. He wanted to see for himself what special abilities the boy chosen by The Beast God had.
Of course, Zi Ji didn't need to bother hunting soul beasts. As soon as he descended to the ground, many ten thousand year old soul beasts instantly hid in fear of his dragon aura.
Zi Ji let out a dragon roar. Instantly, hundreds of Soul beasts gathered before him, kneeling respectfully. Among them, there were several soul beasts that had reached ten thousand years.
However, Lin Fan knew that choosing a ten thousand year old soul ring for his first ring would be too flashy. It could attract the attention of the Hall of Spirits. If a woman like Bibi Dong found out, she might hunt him down.
Finally, Lin Fan chose a three-thousand-year-old young dragon that had been severely injured as a result of hunting humans. On a simple order from Zi Ji, the young dragon voluntarily sacrificed his soul ring for Lin Fan.
The absorption process proceeds smoothly. With the help of strengthening pills, Lin Fan's physical strength had even surpassed that of a level 40 Soul Master. Zhu Xian's sword intent also helped him refine the impact of the soul ring.
Once the three thousand year old soul ring was perfectly absorbed, Lin Fan's Soul Power level rose to level 15. He obtained his first soul skill: the Dragon Fire chain slash.
The purple soul ring on Lin Fan's body glittered as he activated his first soul skill. The purple flames enveloped Zhu Xian's Divine Sword, creating a sharp sword aura.
With a single slash, Lin Fan attacked a giant tree nearby.
In an instant, sword energy shot out, striking the tree five times in a row. Purple flames burned along the cracks left by the sword. Within seconds, a huge tree so thick that it took several people to hug it shattered into pieces, collapsed, and burned to the ground.
Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction, putting back his sword. Zi Ji who saw him was also surprised. This brat was only level 15, but his strength was already on par with a high-level combat Soul Master.
"Alright, Big Brother Lin Fan is really great!"exclaimed Gu Yuena with sparkling eyes. "What's that move? Na'er also wants to learn!"
Lin Fan smiled, gently stroking Gu Yuena's silver hair. "Na'er doesn't need to study. I'll protect you."
However, just then, Lin Fan realized something—Gu Yuena, in this state, only had soul strength around level five or six. It seemed, he couldn't even train in his present condition. He will have to teach him later.
Unlike ordinary mortals, Gu Yuena didn't need to look for a soul ring until she reached level 70. Just like Xiao Wu, every time he leveled up, his soul ring would naturally evolve.
"No! Na'er also wants to be as strong as Big Brother!"Gu Yuena exclaimed spoiled, then directly jumped into Lin Fan's arms.
Zi Ji who saw the scene only sighed inwardly. "The son of man is different. No wonder The Beast God and Brigitte chose him..."
After a while, Zi Ji again pulled Lin Fan and Gu Yuena, then took them flying towards the outskirts of the forest.
Lin Fan was satisfied. His first soul ring was a three thousand year old ring strong enough to enhance his abilities without being too conspicuous.
As soon as he arrived at the outskirts of the Great Star Dou Forest, Zi Ji let them down and said in a light tone, yet full of warning.
"Remember, Lin Fan. Do not forget the message of the animal God. If you fail to protect my Master..."Zi Ji looked at him sharply, "...you know what the consequences are."
