After breaking through to level 10, Gu Han informed Bibi Dong of the news.
Upon hearing the news,
after arranging a time, Bibi Dong took Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, preparing to take Gu Han to the Hunting Soul Forest in the back mountains to hunt for Gu Han's first spirit ring.
As for the Hunting Soul Forest in the back mountains of Spirit City,
while it was also a Hunting Soul Forest, both its area and the types and cultivation ages of the Spirit Beasts within it were far larger than those around Nuoding City.
If the Hunting Soul Forest around Nuoding City was just a forest,
then the Hunting Soul Forest in the back mountains of Spirit City was several mountain ranges, encompassing the forests within them.
It was home to tens of thousands of Spirit Beast species, with cultivation ages ranging from ten years to ten thousand years!
"Sacred Dragon, come out!"
After entering the boundless Hunting Soul Forest, in front of Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo, Gu Han let out a low cry, summoning his Spirit Sacred Dragon.
In an instant, as a dazzling golden and purple light burst forth,
a Spirit Sacred Dragon appeared in front of Gu Han, about one meter long, somewhat plump, covered in light purple fur with white patches, but also growing many fine golden dragon scales. Its head resembled a dragon's, but its ears were large and round. It had a small tail, a mouth full of sharp teeth, brilliant golden eyes, and two small bumps bulging on its head.
"Roar! Roar!"
However, despite the significant changes in its body, after being summoned, the Sacred Dragon still happily cried "Roar! Roar!" and ran to Gu Han's side, rubbing against his leg.
"It's becoming more and more like a young dragon!"
Seeing the current appearance of the Spirit Sacred Dragon, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan couldn't help but exclaim.
Bibi Dong's exquisite face also held a faint smile as she asked,
"Little Han, have you decided which Spirit Beast to choose as a spirit ring for the Sacred Dragon?"
"Teacher, I don't think choosing which Spirit Beast as a spirit ring is very important."
"As long as I choose a Spirit Beast with as much light attribute and higher dragon blood purity as possible, and whose cultivation is within my tolerable range, that's fine for the Sacred Dragon."
"According to the books and ancient texts I read in the Central Library, they say that when attaching a spirit ring, the chosen Spirit Beast has a great impact on the Spirit."
"Whatever characteristics the chosen Spirit Beast possesses will influence the Spirit in that aspect."
"For example, a plant-type Spirit, if it chooses to absorb a spirit ring from a highly toxic Spirit Beast, will increase the Spirit's toxicity. If it chooses to absorb a spirit ring from a highly resilient Spirit Beast, it will enhance the Spirit's resilience."
"I want to choose a dragon Spirit Beast with a light attribute and higher dragon blood purity for the Sacred Dragon."
"By absorbing its spirit ring, perhaps the Sacred Dragon can advance further, and its body can undergo more changes belonging to the dragon race."
Gu Han mused, speaking.
"You want a light-attributed, high-dragon-blood-purity, and suitably cultivated Spirit Beast?"
Bibi Dong, holding the pope's scepter, her elegant, mature, and beautiful face showing a hint of contemplation, had Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan retrieve the map of the Hunting Soul Forest.
As a Hunting Soul Forest established by Spirit Hall,
Spirit Hall naturally had a very clear map of the terrain and the Spirit Beasts inhabiting this vast Hunting Soul Forest.
The map not only recorded various terrains of the Hunting Soul Forest and their locations but also documented the various Spirit Beasts inhabiting each terrain and some Spirit Beasts with stronger cultivation and bloodlines.
And light-attributed dragon Spirit Beasts, being an extremely powerful and rare type of Spirit Beast, were naturally recorded within Spirit Hall's internal archives.
Under the guidance of Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, Gu Han began searching in the Hunting Soul Forest.
Along the way, traversing the vast and complex Hunting Soul Forest, Gu Han successively saw various light-attributed dragon-blooded Spirit Beasts.
Among them were Light Dragon Horses, Light Sacred Dragon Pythons, Sacred Light Dragon Apes, and Six-Winged Glorious Dragon Hawks.
However, while these Spirit Beasts had enough light attribute, their dragon blood purity was still not quite sufficient.
At least, Gu Han was not very satisfied.
After learning about all the light-attributed dragon Spirit Beasts inhabiting the Hunting Soul Forest, Gu Han selected three light-attributed dragon Spirit Beasts as his first spirit ring targets:
namely, a four-hundred-year-old Sacred Light Golden Dragon, a four-hundred-year-old Light Winged Dragon Jiao, and a three-hundred-year-old Light Fiery Sun Dragon Eagle.
But all three of these Spirit Beasts possessed the ability to fly.
As Spirit Beasts at the top of the food chain in the Hunting Soul Forest, these three Spirit Beasts did not have fixed habitats and often roamed around to hunt prey.
If they couldn't find these three Spirit Beasts in the Hunting Soul Forest,
then in the end, Gu Han would only be able to choose a Spirit Beast from those he encountered that also possessed the light attribute but had slightly lower dragon blood purity.
However, Gu Han's luck was quite good.
Based on their understanding of the habits of these three Spirit Beasts, Bibi Dong took Gu Han, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei to search separately.
Finally, on a cliff face of a towering peak standing amidst the forest, they found the Sacred Light Golden Dragon, approximately four hundred years old in cultivation, resting in its nest.
This was the Spirit Beast Gu Han most wanted as his first spirit ring target!
"Fifth Spirit Ability: Ghost Shadow Nether Hand!"
"Fifth Spirit Ability: Gathering of Cold Essence!"
Although the Sacred Light Golden Dragon was a light-attributed Spirit Beast with extremely high dragon blood purity, almost a true dragon, even with only four hundred years of cultivation, its combat power was enough to rival a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
A ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast is equivalent to a Spirit Emperor-level Spirit Master.
In other words, this four-hundred-year-old Sacred Light Golden Dragon was enough to contend with a Spirit Emperor!
However, unfortunately, this Sacred Light Golden Dragon was simultaneously attacked by three powerful Titled Douluo this time.
With Bibi Dong sealing the sky, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo striking simultaneously, this four-hundred-year-old Sacred Light Golden Dragon was instantly severely wounded!
"Roar!"
Amidst a mournful cry, the Sacred Light Golden Dragon, covered in blood, fell from the sky to the ground. Its body was covered in wounds cut by the sharp Miraculous Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum petals, and blood quickly pooled on the ground, leaving it on the verge of death.
"Little Han, go kill it and then absorb its spirit ring."
Bibi Dong took out a sharp longsword and handed it to Gu Han, instructing him to kill the Sacred Light Golden Dragon and absorb its spirit ring.
Gu Han took the longsword, took a deep breath, and walked with firm steps towards the enormous beast in front of him. After reaching the Sacred Light Golden Dragon's side, he thrust the sword into its eye, ending its life.
After its death, a large number of yellow light spots continuously emanated from the Sacred Light Golden Dragon's corpse, finally condensing into a yellow hundred-year spirit ring above the corpse.
Under Bibi Dong's instruction, Gu Han sat cross-legged beside the Sacred Light Golden Dragon's corpse, closing his eyes and beginning to circulate the Holy Dragon Art to guide the spirit ring.
At this moment, the Sacred Dragon had also arrived by his side.
As Gu Han began to circulate the Holy Dragon Art, the hundred-year spirit ring was immediately drawn over, instantly enveloping the Sacred Dragon.
