"A Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear?"
Su Wen's eyes lit up with unmistakable excitement.
Several figures stood atop the treetops, gazing down at the scene below.
A wounded Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear crouched low, roaring furiously at a massive jet-black python.
Its body was tense, fangs bared, issuing a warning through sheer ferocity.
"It's injured?" Yan Shaozhe raised an eyebrow.
Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bears were extremely rare even within the Star Dou Forest.
Along the way, they had only encountered a single ten-thousand-year specimen.
Even with Yan Shaozhe present, they hadn't dared provoke it, choosing instead to detour far around.
This one, however, was different.
Judging by its size, it was only around three to four thousand years old....right within range.
"That won't be a problem," Su Wen said calmly, a faint smile forming at the corner of his lips.
Once absorbed into a Poké Ball, any soul beast—regardless of injuries....would be fully restored upon first capture.
He had already tested this effect on Ice Sovereign, so there was no need to rush.
In his field of vision, the data panel unfolded clearly.
[Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear]
[Cultivation: 3,700 years]
[Potential: 8]
[Evaluation: A soul beast race with extraordinarily high average potential.
Both offensive and defensive capabilities are freakishly strong even among soul beasts. One of the best possible choices for a bonded companion.]
Su Wen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Worthy of its reputation.
The jet-black python facing it had a body nearly thirty to forty meters long, its thick scales absorbing sunlight like ink.
Coiled around a massive tree trunk, its pupils were cold and predatory.
If not for the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, such a creature would be almost impossible to spot.
Even so, the python bore visible injuries along its back.
A glance at its information confirmed it.....
A thirty-thousand-year Ink Spirit Serpent.
Its combat power was far from weak among peers of the same level.
To fight a creature with seven to eight times its cultivation and still hold on?
This bear was practically the Xiao Yan of soul beasts, effortlessly fighting above its level.
"If you want it, you need to act soon," Yan Shaozhe reminded him quietly.
"Even a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear can't last forever against a thirty-thousand-year Ink Spirit Serpent.
Being devoured is only a matter of time—though the serpent would pay a steep price."
"ROAR—!"
Another furious bellow erupted.
The bear's abdominal wound had worsened....a bloody hole torn open, clearly the result of a savage bite.
Worse still, the blood flowing out had grown thick and inky, causing its movements to stiffen as time passed.
"The Ink Spirit Serpent is sometimes classified under poison-type," Su Wen recalled silently from the academy archives.
"After biting its prey, it injects its own blood into the victim.
That blood merges with the opponent's circulation, congealing like ink and gradually solidifying the entire bloodstream…"
Years of unrestricted access to the Sea God Pavilion's library, with Mu En's tacit approval, had paid off.
This was knowledge in action.
"Now."
No more hesitation.
Su Wen clenched the purple Poké Ball in his palm and hurled it forward with full force, wind assistance guiding it unerringly toward the wounded bear.
"ROAR!"
Two startled gazes snapped upward toward the treetops.
The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear instinctively tried to flee...
but its near-solidified blood deprived its brain of oxygen.
Dizzy and weakened, it collapsed heavily to the ground, just as a brilliant white beam engulfed its body.
"Hiss…"
The Ink Spirit Serpent's cold eyes flickered with rage.
It had spent half a month hunting this prey. Such rich nourishment.....gone in an instant.
Unwilling, yet—
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted beside the human youth.
The serpent hesitated for only a moment before silently retreating.
Not worth it. Absolutely not worth it.
"Level 31."
The purple Poké Ball vanished from the forest floor and reappeared in Su Wen's hand.
At the same time, a faint crack echoed within his body....the unmistakable sound of a bottleneck shattering.

Su Wen's pupils shrank.
