Chapter 20 - Star Dou Forest (1/2)

After getting to know that she was a Spirit Douluo Zhao Wuji came ahead and said,

”Greetings Snake Grandmother, I never expected to encounter someone such as you here”

”I could say the same as I too never expected to encounter the famous Acala who was missing for so long here and it looks like you've broken through to the Spirit Saint level and only a little away from the Spirit Douluo level am I right ??”

”Haha, it is as you say. I am extremely sorry for taking away your beast as we didn't know about that, I was here with my students to get one of them his third spirit ring”

She looked towards Dai Mubai and gave an approving nod and said,

”Truly worthy to be a student of the Acala, you're so young yet you're already at the Spirit Elder Rank”

”Snake grandmother, I think you're mistaken the one who is getting his ring is this student her he's a food type spirit master”

Saying that Wuji pushed Oscar forward who gave a slight greeting to her. When she saw that a food master so young was at the Spirit Elder rank she was shocked, it was commonly known that food spirits are the hardest to cultivate and may hardly reach the Spirit Ancestor rank.

Knowing that he was only 13 to 14 years old his potential was truly great.

If the snake was still alive then she would have fought for it despite losing the chance to make some connections with him but now since the snake is dead she proposed something else,

”We have pursued the snake for so long and you're student killed it don't you think that this is a little unfair??”

”Had we known that you were pursuing this snake me and my students wouldn't have done so. But unfortunately, the snake is dead and we can't bring it back to life so we really can't do anything about it”

”I'm not talking about now but instead in the future, I hope that your student would help my granddaughter with a favor in the future. Seeing his talent I don't think he would not reach the Ancestor or maybe even a higher stage in the future, doing a small favor then wouldn't hurt him now would it??”

Before anyone could respond Oscar spoke up,

”In the future as long as it's something I can do then I, Oscar would surely not forget to repay this favor Snake Grandmother”

”Good, Well be taking our leave since we still have to find a ring for my granddaughter”

After they left, Tang San and the rest heaved a sigh of relief, though Teacher Wuji could deal with her it wouldn't be wise to do so if the Dragon Grandfather also joins them and not knowing where he was this was a relatively safer path.

”Brother Daydream are you sure that this beast you're looking for is in this direction??”

' I'm positive, this is the best beast I can think of for getting your third ring to the Samsara Eye and by luck, if you get its Spirit Bone then I can say no one can match up to you in Mental Spirit' ( Daydream)

”What is the name of this beast?”

'It's called the Three-Eyed Golden Lion also known as the Auspicious Emperor' (Daydream)

…

Soon after an hour of running, he was able to find its whereabouts with the help of Daydream. Even Jade Empress was a little intrigued by this beast as for the Snow Empress, she kept a neutral stance on it. Soon he found out a 90,000-year-old lion which had a red pearl on its forehead.

This was the Auspicious Emperor, he saw that it was a little injured on its left leg, he then made his preparations with the Tang Sect Weapons, he knew that this was going to be a tough fight as this beast was nearly at the 100,000 year mark so he then took out a few poisons he had refined over the past few years.

He let out a sleeping and paralyzing poison and took their antidotes. He waited for a while and saw it slowly fall asleep, he used his Spiritual Detection and didn't find any other beast nearby so he went slowly using his camouflage hiding his aura.

He knew that this was a sneaky approach but he was still not strong enough to fight such a strong beast so he had no other option.

But while he was going towards the beast it suddenly opened its eyes and attacked him. Thankfully he never dropped his guard and was able to dodge this attack. He activated his Torso Bone and used the Ice domain, he had also used his Jade Empress's Pincers and counteracted against its attack due to the poisons the Lions attacks were extremely dull and didn't have their d_e_s_i_r_ed effects. He knew that dragging it would not be good for him according to Daydream so he then took out his 12 Spider Lance's and continued his attack.

Due to the domain, it's attacks were further reduced and with the attacks from the Lance's it could feel that it was poisoned.

Not wanting to lose it let out one of its attacks and a ray of light shot out from its third eye. Thankfully due to his Red god's eye and spiritual detection, he was able to figure it out a second early and used his Illusion ability to dodge it.

But when it figured out that its attack didn't work, it sent out its own spiritual sense and tried to locate him. If he was able to use the full power of his Spirit Rings then he would have never been discovered but unfortunately, he could only use a part of it and was thus discovered.

It then used it's right leg to attack him.

Since he was unable to avoid it he used his 12 Spider Lance's to defend, with three Heavenly Herbs he was able to strengthen his body to a great deal and was able to bear with the shockwaves of the attack.

The 12 Spider Lance's which were million-year-old spirit bones was able to take in the attack but his body was still hurt from the remaining pressure and spit out a mouthful of blood.

He then activated his final trump car - External Spirit Bone: Golden Trident.

After activating it, the top of the trident was formed on his head, it looked more like a golden crown on his head more than a trident. After that, it detached from his head and the proper trident was formed.

He used his Blue Silver Grass and wrapped it around the trident and took it far away to build up momentum.

The only drawback of the Golden Trident was that it took an entire day to regenerate and was only a one use attack.

Then from the Three-Eyed Lion, a black ring with a red border could be seen rising up, without waiting for anything he just sat down and brought the ring towards his Samsara Eye, the process was quite smooth as he was now used to the process.

He then checked his status.
