Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

Chapter 523 – Ten Thousand-Year Purple Lightning Bear

The Thorn Dragon stood up and said, “Yes, we will proceed in order. Master, don’t worry, everyone will abide by the rules. One by one.”

Lan Xuanyu looked at his classmates. “Everyone, stand in a row. When the soul beasts walk past us later, you guys will be able to differentiate who is more suited for you. At the same time, release your Martial Souls and let the soul beasts feel it.”

These soul beasts were simply too respectful to him, so much so that he couldn’t even call them seniors.

Although the first years were shocked by the miraculous scene before them, they were still newborn calves. After a brief moment of shock, all that was left was excitement. With so many powerful soul beasts to choose from, it was much better than searching everywhere.

Everyone quickly stood in a row and released their Martial Souls and auras to display their abilities.

And just like them, when the soul beasts started moving forward one by one, they actually acted coquettishly and communicated their abilities to the students through their thoughts. And just like the Thorn Dragon, they looked somewhat obsequious, as though they couldn’t wait to be paired with the students present.

A gigantic and extremely strong giant bear walked past Lan Xuanyu. This giant bear was covered in rarely seen purple fur, and its muscular body actually gave off a noble feeling.

‘This is the Purple Lightning Bear?’ Lan Xuanyu was shocked. ‘Didn’t they say that the Purple Lightning Bear had gone extinct in ancient times? It hasn’t appeared for at least 20,000 years. It cultivates by absorbing the lightning of Heaven and Earth. It has both strength and lightning attributes. Among bear-type soul beasts, it is second only to the strongest Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear. It is an extremely powerful existence. This Purple Lightning Bear in front of me probably has a cultivation of 40,000 to 50,000 years, right?’ Even Lan Xuanyu was envious.

Although it was large, its speed could be boosted by lightning, it was as agile as a rabbit and had extremely strong explosive attacks. In ancient times, it was the strongest type of soul beast.

When the ten thousand-year Purple Lightning Bear walked past Lan Xuanyu, it nodded respectfully and quickly walked over.

Before anyone could react, a figure flew over and hugged its huge bear head. “I, I, I. Big brother bear, do you think I am suitable for you?”

It was none other than Bing Tianliang.

Bing Tianliang’s entire body was surrounded by lightning as the Lightning God Puppet behind him flickered and emitted a strong electric light.

When he hugged the Purple Lightning Bear, its fur immediately lit up and turned from a dark purple color to a bright purple color. It was also surrounded by lightning. In an instant, the two of them responded to each other as lightning intertwined.

If it was any other time, the Purple Lightning Bear might not have taken a liking to Bing Tianliang. After all, Bing Tianliang was only a four-ring soul master and was far from being strong enough.

But it was different now! There were too many wolves and too little meat! There were over a hundred soul beasts and only about 20 humans. Right now, they were all eager to find a contract. Without hesitation, the Purple Lightning Bear transmitted a friendly aura and reached an agreement with Bing Tianliang.

Bing Tianliang was so excited that he hugged the Purple Lightning Bear’s thick neck tightly and didn’t let go. The ten thousand-year Purple Lightning Bear swung its head upwards and immediately threw him onto its back. Then, it looked at its teammates that were lined up behind it and walked to the side to prostrate.

Bing Tianliang was extremely excited as he mumbled, “This jackpot, this is jackpot. I knew that following Lan Xuanyu would bring me meat to eat! Oh my god! This is a Purple Lightning Bear. I know it!”

His Martial Soul was unique and actually wasn’t easy to fuse with because there were very few lightning-type soul beasts. Even with the Spirit Pagoda’s man-made Spirit Soul, they were extremely rare and expensive.

With the help of his family, Bingliang had purchased many books regarding lightning-type soul beasts.

There was no doubt that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was the strongest among the lightning-type soul beasts. However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was one of the strongest among the True Dragons. In ancient times, True Dragons were almost extinct and they were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. For example, the Beast God Di Tian was the Gold-eyed Black Dragon King and was on the same level as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

After the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, there were records of other lightning-type soul beasts. Among them, the Purple Lightning Bear was one of the strongest.

Bing Tianliang didn’t expect that he would actually be able to see a living Purple Lightning Bear, and it was obviously at the ten thousand-year level! That was why he rushed out without hesitation. If he could have the Purple Lightning Bear as his Spirit Soul, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to get into the Inner Court! He knew very well how strong the Purple Lightning Bear was.

The Purple Lightning Bear’s speed was not fast, but when it exploded, it was as fast as lightning. In addition to its explosive strength, it simply matched him too well.

Bing Tianliang was the first to pick excitedly, and the others were also excited, especially with the coordination of the soul beasts before them.

Very soon, the students got entangled with the soul beasts. The smart students were not in a rush to choose and instead tried their best to take a look. There were over a hundred soul beasts and each of them had their own unique points. It was best to choose one that suited them the most.

These soul beasts walked past Lan Xuanyu one by one and nodded respectfully to him before walking over. What made Lan Xuanyu slightly depressed was that none of these soul beasts wanted to be his Spirit Soul.

Dong Qianqiu didn’t interact with the soul beasts like the others but stood quietly beside Lan Xuanyu with a faint smile on her face.

“Are you really not going?” Lan Xuanyu turned to ask her.

Dong Qianqiu smiled and shook her head. “I’m not suited for fusing Spirit Souls. What about you? Why didn’t you choose one?”

Lan Xuanyu shrugged. “It seems like they aren’t interested in me!”

Among his closest companions, Qian Lei and Yuanen Huihui were no longer around and Dong Qianqiu didn’t want one. Liu Feng already had one, and only Tang Yuge and Lan Mengqin were left.

At this moment, they were also among the soul beasts, looking around and looking for suitable soul beasts.

All of a sudden, Tang Yuge’s eyes lit up. She took a big stride forward and leaped into the air. The five elements halo on her body flashed and she released her Great Five Elements Divine Light.

Just at this moment, as though sensing her aura, a bright bird chirp resounded in the sky. Following that, a figure descended from the sky.

Previously, Lan Xuanyu didn’t notice that there was actually a big bird on the treetop near them. That big bird seemed to have a layer of mist on its body, and there was a faint rainbow light flowing around it. The most peculiar thing was that this big bird actually had a Yin Yang face; the left side of its head was black, and the right side was white. It was very distinct.

As it flew, the mist became fainter and one could see that it was shaped like a hawk. It was about two meters long and had a wingspan of over four meters. Its entire body was half black and half white from its head to its back.

What bird was this?

Lan Xuanyu immediately realized that his knowledge was insufficient because he didn’t know what kind of soul beast it was.

The giant bird swooped down and flew directly under Tang Yuge’s feet. It spread its wings and caught her in midair.

Tang Yuge immediately hugged its neck excitedly with a smile on her face.

It was clear that she had found a soul beast that suited her. She had previously mentioned that there shouldn’t be any soul beast that suited her, but she didn’t expect to actually bump into one.

The large bird descended from the sky and landed behind Lan Xuanyu. Tang Yuge jumped off its back.

Lan Xuanyu walked forward curiously. Seeing him walk over, the big bird dispersed the mist around its body and revealed its true form.
