Chapter 69: Shape-shifting Pill, Dan Lei
Ning Bei's trip to Star Dou Forest had been quite fruitful. Not only had he obtained a 100,000-year soul ring and matching soul bones, but he had also acquired the Imperial Beast.
Let's not even mention the peak combat powers of the Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. Star Dou Forest truly was his blessed land.
After absorbing the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bones from the Pure Heart White Deer, Ning Bei's cultivation directly surged to a terrifying level of 76. If the Soul Saints who had been diligently cultivating knew about this, they would probably shed tears.
A few days later, Ning Bei planned to give the Shape-shifting Pills to his soul beast team. Although there wasn't a huge need, having them in human form would make communication easier. They wouldn't have to rely solely on telepathy as before.
Summoning the beasts, Ning Bei scanned them and nodded in satisfaction.
"Everyone, I've got a great pill for you!"
"Roar!"
"…"
The beasts, hearing that there was a pill, all showed excited expressions. Ning Bei's pills were never ordinary, and the feeling of their strength rapidly increasing was intoxicating to them, but this time, they seemed to have misunderstood.
Several golden Shape-shifting Pills appeared in his hand, which he then fed to the beasts.
In no time, colorful mist emerged from their bodies.
Ah Bao's body, which was dozens of meters long, began to shrink, turning into a giant man about the same size as Er Ming, except with white short hair.
"Roar? Master?"
Hearing Ah Bao speak in a rough voice, Ning Bei waved his hand.
"Ah Bao, we're best friends, no need to call me master. Just call me big brother."
The white-haired giant scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Big Brother!"
"Mm."
Ning Bei then turned his gaze to the Human-faced Demon Spider. As the black mist dissipated, a woman, very similar to the fourth sister of the Black Mythology, revealed herself.
"Master, your servant greets you!"
"No need for that, just call me big brother like Ah Bao."
Ning Bei sighed lightly. Why was everyone calling him "master"? What happened to the dignity of soul beasts?
The beasts thought about the free food and shelter, so what was dignity?
At this moment, the Demon Eye Tree and the Emerald Swan also completed their transformations.
The Demon Eye Tree turned into a youth with an eerie face and deep blue hair and eyes. From his appearance alone, it was hard to tell his gender.
"Master!"
Okay, a guy!
The voice revealed his gender. His eerie face made Ning Bei shiver; it was even more unsettling than the King of Myriad Beasts from Star Dou Forest.
The Emerald Swan transformed into a little girl with green hair, the length of which barely reached her ears. Her hair had a slight curl, resembling a dragon girl.
"Master, master, what did we just eat?"
"Why did we change into the same form as you after eating?"
Alright, this one was a chatterbox. The other three beasts combined didn't speak as much as her.
And what do you mean by 'we're just like you'? I have something you don't!
Ning Bei clapped his hands to get their attention.
"Alright, from now on, just call me big brother. You're all my companions, not master-servant. Understood?"
"Roar, understood, big brother."
"Your servant understands, Big Brother Bei!"
"…"
"Big brother, I thought you needed at least 200,000 years of cultivation to transform into a human. That's what Granny Bi Ji told me."
??????
Granny Bi Ji? Well, from an age perspective, that makes sense.
"I gave you the Shape-shifting Pill, which allows you to transform into human form early. This way, we can communicate better. Don't panic; you can still change back into your beast form."
After explaining the situation to the beasts, Ning Bei returned them to the Dan Tower, focusing on reaching the 100,000-year level. With the efficiency of the seventh floor, Ah Bao would break through in less than two years.
The hatching of the Imperial Beast was also on his agenda. This would provide an additional double experience card for the beasts on top of the Dan Tower's efficiency.
With the transformation issue settled, Ning Bei went to visit Gu Rong's residence and entered without hesitation.
"Grandpa Bone, I need your help."
Gu Rong, looking kindly at the young man before him, smiled. The young eagle had finally taken flight.
"Bei'er, what do you need from Grandpa? Just tell me!"
"After I obtained the seventh soul ring, it seems that when I make certain pills, it triggers Dan Lei (Dan Thunder). I want to test the strength of the Dan Lei."
"Oh? Is that so? Let's go."
Gu Rong said, immediately grabbing Ning Bei and flying toward a private forest.
After they landed, Gu Rong looked at Ning Bei.
"Come on, Bei'er, let me see what kind of Dan Lei it is."
Ning Bei nodded and, with a flash of the Dan Tower, summoned the blood-red seventh soul ring. A Rebirth Pill appeared in his hand.
The sky seemed to sense the aura of the pill, and dark clouds began to gather above them, with thunder rumbling inside.
Ning Bei threw the pill toward Gu Rong, who caught it with one hand.
"Grandpa Bone, be careful. The thunder will strike the pill directly."
"Alright!"
Gu Rong didn't dare be careless. The thunder in the sky felt threatening, and he activated his Martial Soul, preparing to face the Dan Lei.
A few seconds later, a five-meter-wide, single-colored bolt of lightning shot toward Gu Rong. The violent energy collided with the Bone Dragon Martial Soul, raising a cloud of dust, and the surrounding grass was charred black.
After a moment, the shockwave dissipated.
Gu Rong's figure reappeared before them. As expected, the Dan Lei from the seventh-grade pill did not cause him any harm.
However, his expression revealed undisguised shock.
"Bei'er, this Dan Lei would severely injure any ordinary Title Douluo. It's truly terrifying."
"Really? Well, it looks like I've gained a new method of dealing with enemies!"
After hearing Gu Rong's analysis, Ning Bei couldn't help but envision using Dan Lei to confront his foes.
In his imagination, Ning Bei's right thumb and index finger curled slightly, holding a pill between them.
"Super·Electromagnetic Cannon."
The pill was shot toward the enemy, and immediately the sky's thunder surged, turning the enemy into ash.
Gu Rong pondered for a moment before giving a definitive answer.
"Indeed, any ordinary Title Douluo would never be able to get close to you. But just using these seventh-grade pills to throw at people, isn't that a bit of a waste?"
Ning Bei waved his hand.
"Grandpa Bone, this is just an idea for now. Right now, with Ah Bao and the others protecting me, ordinary Title Douluo can't touch me, so I don't need to use this move!"
Indeed, Snake Spear andporcupine (porcupine), don't look at others. When I say ordinary Title Douluo, I mean you.
Gu Rong nodded.
"Indeed, as long as you have a plan in mind, that's all that matters."
"Grandpa Bone, you underestimate Dan Lei. This is the Dan Lei from a seventh-grade pill! Can you imagine what it would be like when I'm a Soul Douluo or even a Title Douluo?"
Gu Rong froze for a moment and thought for a while.
"Ha! You really are a versatile fighter."
With 100,000-year soul bones for defense, countless soul beasts for support, and the ability to use pills to enhance them, along with Dan Lei to face enemies, you're truly a monster.
"Ha ha, Grandpa Bone, you flatter me. Once I get my eighth and ninth soul rings, I'll come to you to test the strength."
After hearing Ning Bei's words, Gu Rong shuddered. You're truly giving me heart attacks.
Ning Bei grinned to himself. It's payback for all those times you called me a monster.
