46 Getting Stronger

After that, Ryu came to Huo Wu and Ning Rongrong. Huo Wu and Ning Rongrong felt after using Spirit Fusion, both of them break through to a new rank. Huo Wu reached rank 40 and Ning Rongrong reached rank 30.

"Ryu, I reached rank 30 now," Ning Rongrong said.

"I'm too, I make a breakthrough to rank 40 now"

"Sit and cultivate, stabilize your spirit power. I will protect both of you" Ryu said

Then Huo Wu and Ning Rongrong cultivated.

He summoned Hyorinmaru and make the ice pillars that surrounded them.

"With this, I think it's enough to protect them"

"Now it's my turn to make a breakthrough"

In his world of consciousness,

Tian Meng said"Ryu, when you reach rank 70, I suggest you get another human's conscious Spirit Ring"

"Do you have any suggestion?" Ryu asked.

"We're heading to my old home—the Douluo Continent's Extreme North," Tian Meng said.

"Okay, now I will enter Spirit Ascension Platform"

"Let's rush toward 6 floors"

In this floor, there are 10.000 – 49.999 years old spirit beast, with the boss, was 50.000 years old spirit beast.

In this floor, Ryu couldn't use spirit ability like when he went to Slaughter City.

Here, all spirit abilities were ineffective. Even Spirit Master could only use the most basic strength. The spirit's most basic form.

He met his first opponent in 6 floors, there were two ten-thousand years old Duskgold Dreadclaw Bears which had different size.

The Duskgold Dreadclaw bear was an enormous bear, its fur dark-gold in color. The smaller one standing over three meters tall, it had thick arms and its majestic shoulders, akin to a great wall. Four golden claws of at least one meter in length extended from each paw. Meanwhile, the bigger one standing over nine meters tall, with golden claws of at least three meter in length.

A ten-thousand-year Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear could single-handedly destroy a town armed with both foresight and strength.

Reputed to be the strongest soul beast in the world, the Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear.

It was rumored that the Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear was one of the most powerful bears within history and when mature, it would not need to fear any predator, not even true dragons. Should a battle between titans come to pass, the outcome would be difficult to guess.

Whether the Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear be attack or defense, it possessed overwhelming power in every aspect. It truly was an existence that stood at the apex of the soul beast world.

"Good," Ryu said.

Ryu arms and legs became dark. He kicked the ground ten times in the blink of eyes. Then he appeared and punched the first bear. The bear was sent flying.

The other bear lowered its head, taken aback when it saw Ryu wanted to attack it. This other bear was larger than the previous one.

"Oh, 30.000 years old spirit beast"

For a Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear, its claw was its most prized possession. The bear swang his claw to Ryu.

Ryu punched the bear. Metallic clinks resounded as Ryu punched met with the claw. Yet, the Duskgold Dreadclaw Bear was unmoved and unharmed.

"Boom"

This clash caused dust flying everywhere.

The other bear stood up and rushed toward Ryu. It roared, unleashing its golden aura with renewed fury.

Ryu kicked the air at very high speeds and strength, sending out a sharp compressed air blade to this smaller bear. The bear defends it with his golden claws, but the bear couldn't handle it. The bear was sent flying.

The larger one swang other claws to Ryu. Ryu jumped to the sky and using Rankyaku again. The bigger bear was smarter than the small one. This bear changed the rankyaku's trajectory with its claw. The rankyaku hit the ground.

"Rooooar"

It opened its mouth to release a furious roar that shook the heavens as dark-gold light exploded from its body. Its muscles were contracted and became larger.

"Not good"

"Five Thousand Tile True Punch"
