After learning that Golden Crown wanted to find a Spirit Beast to test the Spirit Ability he had just obtained...
Jin E hurried and captured a Storm Devil Wolf.
"A five-hundred-year-old Storm Devil Wolf? Isn't it a bit too weak?"
Golden Crown glanced at the unconscious Storm Devil Wolf, his tone full of disdain.
Please.
His first and second Soul Rings were both at the thousand-year level, so the best experimental subject should naturally be a thousand-year Spirit Beast.
Bullying a hundred-year Spirit Beast felt a bit undignified.
"That's enough, kid. Don't think that just because you absorbed two thousand-year Soul Rings, you can get cocky. A thousand-year Spirit Beast isn't something you can handle alone yet," Jin E said seriously.
Golden Crown compromised, "Fine, fine. A hundred-year one it is. I'll make do."
Meanwhile.
The Storm Devil Wolf also woke up.
At this moment, it looked around with a dazed expression, its brain working rapidly.
Family, who gets this? I was just about to have an intimate exchange with my wife...
Suddenly, I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up, I saw two humans standing opposite me, talking.
Although it couldn't understand them, these two people looked at it from time to time, clearly with ill intentions.
Could it have encountered wolf traffickers?
"Awooo!!!"
The Storm Devil Wolf let out a low growl, its eyes glowing green, baring its teeth, and assuming a battle stance while watching the two humans before it with great vigilance.
It didn't act rashly because the old man opposite it radiated an extremely terrifying pressure.
Seeing the Storm Devil Wolf wake up, Golden Crown flexed his wrists. "Finally awake. Fight me!"
After saying that, his eyes turned golden, and he directly entered his beast transformation state.
His originally thick black hair turned golden, golden scales covered his body, his hands became sharp claws, and a massive long tail appeared behind him.
Two thousand-year Soul Rings, shimmering with purple light, appeared from top to bottom.
Jin E had already flown up to a large tree and sat down, even taking out a bottle of wine from the storage soul tool on his wrist to drink while watching.
Not far away in the forest...
A group of people was crouching in the grass, watching this battle... "Unbelievable, this child's first and second Soul Rings are both at the thousand-year level!"
"A genius, this is simply a genius!"
"I wonder if he has started school yet. If not, let's see if we can invite him to attend our Heaven Dou Royal Academy later."
The three people speaking were Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin.
These three were the three Instructors of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Education Board.
Behind them stood a man dressed in luxurious clothing.
There was also a large group of soldiers around.
This person was the current First Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire—Xue Qinghe!
The reason they were here was to hunt for Xue Qinghe's third Soul Ring.
Unexpectedly, they heard the roar of a Spirit Beast nearby, so they came over to investigate.
Looking at Golden Crown, Xue Qinghe also felt the urge to recruit him.
"Thousand-year first and second Soul Rings?"
"Interesting."
"If I can recruit him and nurture him well, I will have another strong right hand in the future."
Hearing this, Meng Shenji quickly flattered, "The First Prince is wise. Should I go and capture him?"
Xue Qinghe raised his hand to refuse: "No rush. If he wants to receive this Prince's nurturing, he must first show his value. Let me see what he's capable of."
"Yes."
...As for Xue Qinghe's group, Jin E had already noticed them.
However, he didn't take them to heart.
After all, a mere three Spirit Douluos plus a group of soldiers weren't even worth his notice.
Rather than wasting time on them, he'd rather watch his beloved grandson's first real battle.
Below.
The battle between Golden Crown and the Storm Devil Wolf quietly began.
The Storm Devil Wolf took the initiative to attack.
True to its name, the Storm Devil Wolf pounced forward as fast as a gale.
Golden Crown dodged with a side leap: "Good timing! Watch this! First Spirit Ability, Dark Gold Tyrant Body!"
As his voice fell, his body was covered in a layer of dark golden light, and his muscles instantly swelled, filled with power.
After performing his first Spirit Ability, Golden Crown's legs tensed, and he leaped powerfully behind the Storm Devil Wolf.
Clenching his fist, he punched out with force.
*Bang!* A loud crash sounded.
A large crater was smashed into the ground.
But the Storm Devil Wolf had already dodged with its agile speed and opened its bloody mouth to bite at Golden Crown's neck.
Golden Crown was quick-eyed and nimble-handed, grabbing the wolf's head with both hands and then kicking it away.
After rolling several times on the ground, the Storm Devil Wolf stood up again.
Its limbs paced back and forth, its eyes fixed on Golden Crown, clearly preparing for the next attack.
Suddenly, it caught a flaw in Golden Crown's guard and immediately gathered power to strike with a wind blade.
Although Golden Crown reacted in time, he was still a step too slow.
He took the hit head-on with his body.
Seeing its attack hit the target, the Storm Devil Wolf was very proud.
It thought the human before it would be heavily injured, if not dead.
Unfortunately, while the ideal was beautiful, reality was cruel.
As the saying goes, the law of 'no damage within the smoke' works everywhere.
As the dust settled, Golden Crown stood there completely unharmed.
He even reached out and made an international friendly gesture, taunting, "The speed is okay, but the power is a bit lacking."
"Awoo... Roar!"
Seeing the little human brat taunting it like this, the Storm Devil Wolf opened its mouth and condensed a greenish-blue light beam, firing it out.
Golden Crown naturally wouldn't just stand there and take it. His second Soul Ring lit up: "Second Spirit Ability, Golden Flash!"
He brought his hands together, and a light ball the size of a basketball quickly condensed.
Then, he pushed the light ball towards the Storm Devil Wolf.
The light beam and the light ball collided violently, and for a moment, they were at a stalemate.
At this moment, Golden Crown grinned: "The power of the beam is okay, but don't you know the principle that since ancient times, the one on the left loses the beam struggle?"
With that, he increased his spirit power output.
The light ball quickly surged towards the Storm Devil Wolf, knocking it flying.
Golden Crown turned around and struck a cool pose.
The next second.
*Boom!!!*
A violent explosion sounded.
This is what they call a real man never looking back at an explosion.
The Storm Devil Wolf was heavily injured by the explosion. The entire wolf had turned from greenish-blue to charred black from top to bottom, lying on the ground completely incapacitated.
Golden Crown flickered and appeared in front of the Storm Devil Wolf.
The Storm Devil Wolf was now trembling all over, thinking its life was about to end here.
Unexpectedly, Golden Crown took out a bottle of medicine and applied it to the Storm Devil Wolf's wounds.
After a short while, the Storm Devil Wolf was able to stand up and walk with difficulty.
"Thanks for helping me test my strength. You can go now," Golden Crown said with a kind smile.
Although he wasn't soft-hearted, he wasn't bloodthirsty either.
This trip was originally to hunt for Soul Rings, and now that the hunting was finished, catching this Storm Devil Wolf was only to test his strength.
So there was no need to kill it.
The Storm Devil Wolf's head was buzzing.
Wait, big brother, you caught me just to test your strength, not to hunt me for my Soul Ring?
Why didn't you say so earlier? Did I really need to fight that hard?
Seeing that this human really intended to let it go, the Storm Devil Wolf didn't hesitate and bolted away as fast as its legs could carry it.
Golden Crown deactivated his beast transformation and prepared to find his grandfather to return to Wuhun City.
Suddenly, a sound came from the nearby bushes.
A large group of soldiers armed with spears rushed out and surrounded him.
"You think you can just run away after letting this Prince's Spirit Beast go?"
...
