Chapter 6 Target: Star Dou Great Forest
Lin Yu lowered his head in thought, completely immersed in his own world, ignoring the ghost beside him.
Seeing this, the ghost did not go forward to disturb them, but instead became even more curious about the tightly closed stone door.
His eyes, hidden beneath his black robe, seemed to pierce through stone, peering into the secrets behind it.
After circling the stone gate and observing it, he asked in his distinctive hoarse voice, "Xiao Yu, your martial spirit is a gate, which inherently represents a passage. If you want to open it, could it be... related to spatial power?"
space?
These two words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Lin Yu's mind!
He slapped his forehead, feeling extremely annoyed.
That's right! I was really getting stuck on this! The underworld, the gates of hell—in the myths of my past life, weren't they just special spaces independent of the prime material plane? I was wasting my time thinking about spirits and souls; my direction was off from the start! The most direct way to open a door to another dimension is, of course, the power of spatial attributes!
Having figured this out, Lin Yu felt a sudden sense of clarity, and the oppressive confusion in his heart vanished.
He immediately picked up the "Complete Encyclopedia of Soul Beasts" that he had previously placed aside and began frantically searching through it, while also grabbing the powerful figure beside him and eagerly asking:
"Elder Gui, you are very knowledgeable. Do you know of any powerful space-attribute soul beasts?"
Ghost seemed to have anticipated his question. After a moment's thought, he pulled out a copy of "Rare Soul Beast Compendium" from the stack of books he had brought, turned to a page, and handed it to Lin Yu.
"Take a look at this, the Void Shadow Leopard! It's a mutated king among Shadow Leopards, extremely rare. When it attacks, it can tear through space, rendering its energy defenses ineffective. It's incredibly domineering."
Lin Yu took the book, his gaze falling on the exquisite illustrations and text on that page.
The leopard in the painting is elegant yet deadly, with faint ripples of emptiness surrounding its body.
is a good choice.
But deep within Lin Yu's pupils, the image of another, even more terrifying behemoth appeared—the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
That's a true chosen soul ring! It combines multiple top-tier attributes—space, time, evil, spirit—it's practically tailor-made for his "Gate of Hell" martial soul!
However, that guy's level of terror is far beyond what I can challenge now.
But this idea had already planted a seed in his heart.
"That's it!" Lin Yu suppressed the turmoil in his heart, pointed to the Void Shadow Leopard in the book, and made his decision to Ghost Elder, "Elder Ghost, my first spirit ring will be the Void Shadow Leopard!"
Use the Void Shadow Leopard to open the door first. When you're stronger, go to the Star Dou Great Forest and meet that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
"Alright!" Ghost nodded, a hint of approval in his voice. "Then you should take good care of your health during this time, and familiarize yourself with Martial Soul City. When the time is right, I will work with His Holiness the Pope to hunt for this ring for you."
"Huh?" Lin Yu's jaw almost dropped to the floor. "Teacher... is he coming too?"
"Of course!" Ghostly's tone was matter-of-fact, even carrying a hint of amusement. "You are Her Majesty the Pope's personal disciple! How could she not be present for your first spirit ring?"
Lin Yu was completely speechless.
He thought Bibi Dong had only taken him as her disciple on a whim, didn't he see that there wasn't even a formal apprenticeship ceremony?
Now it seems I misunderstood.
Seeing that it was getting late, the ghost did not linger any longer.
He had achieved his goal for this trip. Although he wanted to observe the boy who had a faint resonance with his martial soul a little longer, he didn't want to disturb him.
Having bid farewell to the ghosts, Lin Yu withdrew his martial spirit, threw himself heavily onto the bed, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Since I traveled through time, my nerves have been on edge the whole time, but now I can finally relax a little.
The thought of the future, and the underworld that might exist beyond that door, made his heart pound uncontrollably.
In their past lives, they were overworked and burdened; in this life, they are in charge of reincarnation!
We have to keep acting out this script properly!
Thinking this, Lin Yu gradually fell asleep. In his dream, he was the Great Emperor of Fengdu, with countless ghosts and gods under his command. With a single thought, he could shake the heavens and earth.
For the next three days, Lin Yu was completely immersed in the sea of books left behind by the ghost.
He no longer just skimmed the surface, but instead conducted targeted research on all theories about space, mental power, and necromancy-based martial souls, attempting to build a complete theoretical framework for his future path.
During this time, Hu Liena came to see him a few times, wanting to take him out shopping, but he declined each time, citing his preparation for his first spirit ring.
Just kidding, shopping with beautiful women is certainly pleasant, but nothing beats improving your skills!
Time flies.
On the morning of the third day, it was still barely dawn.
While still asleep, Lin Yu suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold penetrate the thick blankets. A large, icy hand precisely grabbed his shoulder and gently tugged.
"Whoa!" Lin Yu jumped up from the bed with a start.
"You brat, the sun's high in the sky and you're still not up!" Ghost Douluo's teasing, hoarse voice echoed in the room. "Have you forgotten what day it is today? If His Holiness the Pope gets impatient, watch your backside!"
One sentence was like a bucket of ice water poured over Lin Yu's head, instantly scaring away all his sleepiness.
Damn it, I forgot about that! You can't mess with that woman, no matter who you are!
He practically scrambled to break free of the ghostly hand and washed and dressed at the fastest speed he had ever done in his life.
As he followed the ghost at a brisk pace and arrived at the vast square in front of the Papal Palace, the sun had just risen above the horizon.
The morning light bathed the magnificent Papal Palace in a sacred golden glow.
Two figures were already standing quietly in the square.
One of them was his cheap teacher, Bibi Dong.
Today, instead of wearing the papal robes that symbolize supreme power, she wore a well-tailored purple dress.
Her long, flowing purple hair danced gently in the morning breeze, a few strands playfully brushing against her near-perfect face.
Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were so exquisite that they resembled the most outstanding creation of the gods.
Her curvaceous figure was subtly revealed by the long skirt, especially her long, straight legs beneath the hem, which were sure to ignite the imagination.
Even without the regalia of power, her innate nobility and sanctity remained undiminished; on the contrary, this casual attire added a touch of feminine grace and fatal charm.
She simply stood there quietly, and she became a painting in herself, making the world pale in comparison.
Lin Yu felt his breath catch for a moment.
"Your Holiness the Pope!"
"teacher!"
The two people who arrived quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Hmm." Bibi Dong nodded lightly, her cool gaze falling on Lin Yu: "It seems you've calmed down these past few days."
As the Pope, the entire Wuhun City was under her control.
She was quite pleased with her dedication to studying at home for the past three days.
only……
She glanced subtly at the ghost beside her, a ripple of emotion stirring within her.
Isn't this old ghost being a little too attentive to Lin Yu?
Even for something as simple as waking someone up, he volunteered to do it himself.
Was it Lin Yu's martial spirit that attracted him, or... did he have other plans?
Lin Yu felt the scrutinizing gaze and his heart tightened. He replied respectfully, "It is all thanks to the books bestowed upon me by my teacher. I have benefited greatly from them and dare not slack off."
"Very good." Bibi Dong withdrew her gaze, her tone still calm. "Now that everyone is here, let's set off."
After saying that, she turned around first and led the three of them to a magnificent carriage that had been prepared in advance and decorated with the emblem of the Spirit Hall.
That was no ordinary carriage; it was pulled by two extraordinary thousand-year-old spirit beasts, the "Wind Chasing Steeds."
This pomp and treatment made Lin Yu feel once again the weight of being a disciple of the Pope.
Their destination was the Star Dou Great Forest, the number one gathering place for spirit beasts on the continent!
