Chapter 147 The Wilderness Child Sweeps Through the Star Dou Great Forest, Soul Rings? What Use Are They!
"Tch, it's nothing special."
After discovering that the purple circle was neither edible nor usable, Er Gouzi decisively ignored it.
Then, with practiced ease, he pulled out a bone knife from his waist and began to skin and dismember the ghost tiger!
The skill in his movements and the cruelty of his methods made the eyelids of the titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent twitch.
Some Soul Masters even exclaimed that it was a waste of resources, since the Ghost Tiger's Soul Ring was particularly suitable for them.
As a result, it was wasted.
...
Meanwhile, in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Behind some bushes.
"Gulp."
The leader of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, a powerful expert at the level of a six-ring Soul Emperor, was hiding here with several elite students.
They were originally there to hunt for the third spirit ring for their students, and just happened to be passing by.
However, at this moment, the Soul Emperor's Adam's apple bobbed with some difficulty, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Captain, Captain..."
Behind them, a female student pointed with a trembling voice at a child in the distance who was happily dismembering a soul beast while humming an unknown, savage tune:
"Am I...am I seeing things?"
"That child doesn't have a martial spirit attached to him, and his spirit rings aren't flashing."
"He killed a two-thousand-year-old demon tiger with a single punch?!"
"Are these just ordinary children from that world?"
"Could that ghost tiger be fake?"
Upon hearing this, the Soul Emperor captain beside him also took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and said in a low voice:
"No, that ghost tiger is real."
"But that child is too freakish."
"These are the people from that world. Even a child who hasn't even entered the first stage of cultivation has physical strength that is more terrifying than mine, a Soul Emperor?"
"Quick! Don't make a sound! Leave quietly!"
The Soul Emperor Captain made a decisive decision: even if this kind of monster looks harmless, it should never be provoked!
However, what you fear most is what happens.
Just as they were preparing to quietly retreat.
"who?!"
Er Gouzi, who was cutting tiger meat, suddenly twitched his ears, his small eyes instantly became sharp, and he turned his head sharply to look in the direction of the bushes.
In the Great Wilderness, having someone backing you is a major taboo!
"Come out! Or I'll throw stones at you!"
Er Gouzi casually grabbed a huge rock the size of a millstone next to him, lifted it above his head as easily as if it were cotton, and assumed a throwing posture.
This scene nearly scared everyone to death.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
"Young man, it's a misunderstanding!"
Seeing that they could no longer hide, the Soul Emperor captain had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead his team out.
He raised his hands as if surrendering, with a stiff smile on his face, as if afraid that the stone would actually come crashing down on him.
Looking at the group of people in front of him, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with skin as fair as women's, Er Gouzi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked in a very suspicious tone:
"you..."
"A person too?"
"How come your skin is so delicate and smooth?"
"Can I fight? Can I eat?"
Upon hearing the words "can we eat it?", the elite students from the Spirit Hall nearly wet their pants in fear.
The Soul Emperor captain standing nearby twitched his face and hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, no! You can't eat it!"
"We are human! We are Soul Masters!"
"A Soul Master?"
Er Gouzi tilted his head, seemingly unfamiliar with the word.
Then, he put down the stone, dusted off his hands, and pointed with disdain at the six optimal spirit rings flashing on the Soul Emperor captain's body:
"My father said that only weak and ferocious beasts would decorate their bodies in colorful patterns to scare people."
"Aren't you tired of wearing so many rings on your body?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the Soul Emperor captain felt as if he had been shot in the chest, but he dared not speak out in anger.
This is the glory of a Soul Emperor, the best Soul Ring combination!
As a result, this country bumpkin actually called him incompetent and flashy?
"Hmph! Ignorant brat!"
Just then, a proud and arrogant male student behind the Soul Emperor finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He is a genius of the Spirit Hall, how could he have suffered such an insult?
"You country bumpkin, let me show you what a soul skill really is!"
"Third Soul Skill, Blazing Slash!"
The student let out a loud shout, and the martial spirit of his longsword instantly ignited into a raging fire, transforming into a fiery blade of energy that rushed straight towards Er Gouzi!
This attack was powerful and intense, with waves of heat rolling in!
However, faced with this seemingly dazzling attack, Er Gouzi stood still without moving, and even yawned.
He only lazily raised his hand when the flames were about to engulf him.
"Smack!"
Then, like swatting a fly, he slapped it across the face.
That fiery slash, powerful enough to cut through rock, was actually extinguished by this slap?
The male student who unleashed his soul skill was also blown backward by the palm wind, flying more than ten meters away and hanging unconscious on a tree.
"Tch, this fire isn't even as hot as my mother's when she boils water."
After saying that, Er Gouzi waved his hand dismissively, then looked at the group of dumbfounded Soul Masters with a disappointed expression:
"Are these the original inhabitants of this world?"
"His body is so fragile, his strength is so weak, and he can't even use bone script."
"My father lied to me."
He said the outside world is dangerous.
"But here..."
As Er Gouzi spoke, he picked up a piece of tiger meat from the ground, took a big bite, and then mumbled:
"That's clearly not how it is."
"They're all weaklings."
At this moment, all the Douluo members watching this scene through the sky screen fell silent.
An ordinary, simple wild child from the lower realm, who hadn't even mastered the basics, utterly crushed their proud Soul Master system.
What if a true Blood Removal Realm expert arrives?
What if it's a grotto-heaven realm?
What if it were Shi Hao, whom even the Primordial Immortal Lord valued highly?
Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and no one dared to think any further.
Only that Er Gouzi was still happily eating tiger meat, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Meanwhile, the Soul Emperor captain from the Spirit Hall was swallowing hard, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Looking at the wild child in front of him, who was eating with his mouth full of oil and didn't seem to care about them at all, he, as the leader, quickly started thinking.
"This boy is invincible; we must outsmart him!"
"If we could win him over to the Spirit Hall and present him to His Holiness the Pope..."
Thinking of this, the Soul Emperor captain's eyes lit up, and he instantly found a breakthrough.
This is no country bumpkin or wild child.
Before those Douluo explorers returned, they were clearly a treasure that could help the Spirit Hall unify the entire continent!
With a single arm weighing thousands of pounds, and without a martial spirit, he can instantly kill a thousand-year-old soul beast. If this talent is nurtured, wouldn't he be able to become a god in the future?
Thinking of all this, the usually aloof Soul Emperor immediately put on what he considered his most amiable smile, then rubbed his hands together and leaned closer:
"Ahem, um... young man."
"I see you're quite skilled. Would you be interested in coming with us to a nice place?"
Upon hearing this, Er Gouzi, who was gnawing on a tiger leg, paused, immediately raised his head warily, and asked with bulging cheeks, "What good place?"
"Is it bigger than the threshing ground at the entrance of our village?"
