Chapter 24 - STAR DOU GREAT FOREST

Star Dou Great Forest was situated on the south edge of Heaven Dou Empire, the forest spanning the two great empires. Since the spirit beasts here were numerous, this was also the region where the border between the two nations was least clear. From looking at a map, the larger part of Star Dou Great Forest's area was within Star Luo Empire, but of course, Heaven Dou Empire had never recognized this point.

As one of the three big wild spirit beast habitats, this naturally was the place Spirit Masters most wished to be able to hunt, because every time coming here, meant they would advance.

Nobody could say clearly for just how many years Star Dou Great Forest had existed on Douluo Continent, but after entering the forest, that hiding the sky and covering the earth lushness was sufficient to tell people it was an ancient existence.

They all arrived in the forest after half a day of the journey with teacher Zhao Wuji, Who told them to rest for 2 days in inn. As he was about to breakthrough and will stabilize his power in 2 days and going in the forest with his condition can be proved to be fatal. Xiao Wu, Tang Chen and Tang San thought it was a perfect moment for them to leave get the ring and come back. He told Zhao Wuji that their elders were here and will help only them to acquire spirit rings. Zhao Wuji was skeptical but thought that only with formidable background these monsters can emerge. He allowed them to go.

They left and told them they will be back in 4-5 days and will meet at the inn. Xiao Wu though lived in the center of forest still can tell them where the animal or plant beast of the d.e.s.i.r.ed effect can be found. Tang wanted more strength this time he was specifically after Supreme Ants, He has carefully listened about these beasts from the grandmaster if he didn't get these beasts here he will search in his magical space, but he wants this beast only. Tang San also seemed to be looking for spider beast with the ability to capture the enemy in its place without him knowing and was of crowd controlling capacity.

Xiao Wu knows about a colony of supreme ants near but wasn't sure if it's still there as they usually massacre each other. They went there only to see massacring has happened a few days ago but one supreme ant was there it was of one meter long with two big and four small eyes and six legs and seemed to just evolve after devouring the colony with Ant Queen. Tang Chen knew it was a 30,000 years old Supreme Ant King. Tang Chen summoned his staff and hit it, nothing happened to beasts then he transformed into a sword and tried to kill it again it was also for nothing, he wasn't disappointed but was excited he now really wants the beast with its full characteristics, so he opened magical space lure the beast to herbal region. Beast went after him due to dense energy he was sensing Xiao Wu and Tang San also went inside. Then Tang Chen closed the entrance, thick energy was basically an invitation to stronger beasts. In the magical space, Tang summoned his hammer spirit and started to use SOVEREIGN HAMMER DESCEND on the beast, it only died after 49 strikes which says a lot about its defensive strength and vitality. A black ring appeared from it and Tang Chen sat crosslegged and guided the ring, The absorption took 5 hours longer than usual. Tang Chen summoned his spirit and was shocked to see a purple ring with black in the middle next to the purple ring. He still got all boost from beast to his spirit. He seems to have found out a cheat to spirit rings but was all for nothing as his quota for yellow and purple are finished he can get all black rings inside his magical space as God set is as close to original so, again will get benefit and absorbs all black rings for his hammer spirit. Tang Chen not only got defense boost making his spirit's manipulated staffs and sword strength to go up a few notches up but also gained vitality meaning self-healing. Which he also can use in changing and switching his weapons faster. He rose to 44 rank.

Tang Chen stood up and told Tang San and Xiao Wu about his abilities and discovery. They then began to find suitable beast for Tang San after looking for hours they found Demon Pit Spider of 25,000 years old Tang San eye shined as he looks toward Tang Chen who nodded, being grandmaster's student they knew how troublesome this spider was, so they decided that while Tang Chen distracted the beast Tang San will break its leg and will take him to magical space and get its rings there. They both followed the plan and took it to magical space by pulling it with the blue-silver emperor. The prison made by spider was able to take 10 hits from Tang Chen's hammer spirit, their hammer spits were not normal hammer spirit they were as heavy as the hammer of late soul king's realm spirit master of clear sky sect. He knew his brother's hammer have crossed a ton variable. Though it looks the same. That's the reason he agreed to take it to magical space He absorbed the rings there, gaining a deep purple ring and an overall boost to his spirit. He gained the prison abilities that can prison the soul kings with no problem. He also advanced to 44ranks

They left the magical space, but we're terrified at the sight of angry Titan ape looking at them. He has just lifted his arm to attack but suddenly Xiao Wu's voice rang and it stopped. It brings its massive head down to the ground to have closer look at her she c.a.r.e.s.sed his black hair he seems very happy. She then introduced their current and previous brothers. Ape wasn't in the mood of talking. Xiao Wu told them she was now going to create her own rings process took 30 minutes. Xiao Wu said bye to Er Ming looked sad then turned around to go to the center of the forest, they also began to return to the inn as it wasn't late.
