Chapter 13: Nine Hundred Years Ghost Bird
"Have you found out Luo Ling's identity?" Bibi Dong asked Ghost Douluo while looking at Luo Ling and Hu Liena walking side by side not far away.

"I am incompetent." Ghost Douluo shook his head. "I only heard that someone saw this guy in Notting City six days ago. I didn't hear any other information."

Could it be that Luo Ling really had lived in the mountains with his grandfather, a hermit master, since he was a child?
Bibi Dong frowned slightly. Logically speaking, with Luo Ling's appearance, he would be very conspicuous if he lived in one place for a long time. It didn't make sense that there would be no news about him.

Luo Ling walked in front and saw the meeting between Bibi Dong and Ghost Douluo through the crows on the treetops not far away.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly. He could roughly guess what Bibi Dong had arranged for Ghost Douluo to do. But no matter how Ghost Douluo investigated, he could not have imagined that his appearance would change drastically due to the second awakening of his martial soul.

"Forget it, don't investigate if you can't find anything." Bibi Dong waved her hand. She didn't really care about Luo Ling's identity. He was just a seven-year-old kid. What kind of trouble could he cause?

Thinking of this, she quickly walked over to Luo Ling and Hu Liena.

"Brother Xiaoling, it's getting dark. Be careful. I will protect you!" Hu Liena said softly, putting her arms around Luo Ling's neck.

Luo Ling's face was filled with black lines. He didn't know how to evaluate this future Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.

Being so naive and naive, it's no wonder that he was fooled by Tang San later on.

"Ahem!" A light cough interrupted their conversation. Bibi Dong walked over and glared at Hu Liena, then pointed at a figure wrapped in darkness and said, "Xiao Ling, let me introduce you. This is the ghost elder of our Spirit Hall, and he is also a Titled Douluo."

"Greetings, Ghost Elder." Luo Ling bowed slightly.

"The Ghost Elder has a pure dark spirit. The ghost bird you want to hunt is a dark and spiritual dual spirit beast. With the Ghost Elder's ability, a hundred-year-old ghost bird cannot escape his eyes as long as it exists in this Soul Hunting Forest."

"Then I'll trouble you, Elder Ghost." Luo Ling showed a look of delight. Ghost Birds are hard to find, so it would be best to have someone to help find them.

Ghost Douluo on the side didn't say much, just nodded, then turned into a black shadow and disappeared.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Ghost Douluo returned to where Luo Ling was.

"Did you find anything?" Bibi Dong asked.

Ghost Douluo glanced at Luo Ling and said hesitantly, "There are indeed ghost birds, but the youngest one I found is at least nine hundred years old."

"Nine hundred years?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly. According to the ten core theories of martial spirits, the limit of the first soul ring is 423 years, and nine hundred years is more than doubled.

"Is there no lower one?"

"This Soul Hunting Forest is not very big. There are only three Ghost Birds. One is 4000 years old, one is 2000 years old, and the other is 900 years old."

Bibi Dong shook her head. Nine hundred years was really too high.

"Xiao Ling, you also heard that the nine hundred year old ghost bird is too old."

"Teacher, could you please ask Elder Ghost to take me to have a look?" Luo Ling did not agree with Bibi Dong's opinion.

"You want to absorb this 900-year-old ghost bird? You should know that the absorption limit of the first soul ring is 423 years. 900 years is already too much!" Bibi Dong said seriously.

Luo Ling shook his head. "The upper limit of spirit rings in Yu Xiaogang's theory is what Yu Xiaogang said, but it is not the real upper limit of spirit rings."

Luo Ling, who had read Douluo Dalu and its sequel, knew very well that except for the ten thousand year spirit ring which needed to withstand the impact of the soul of the dead spirit beast, the thousand year and hundred year spirit rings could be absorbed as long as the body was strong enough.

After his martial soul awakened for the second time, Luo Ling was still confident that he could absorb the 900-year soul ring.

"I don't agree, it's too dangerous! The Soul Hunting Forest is not there for me to take you to the Star Dou Forest. There's no need to rush!" Bibi Dong still objected.

"Teacher, please believe me!" Luo Ling looked at Bibi Dong, "Teacher, don't forget that I have twin martial souls. My physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary soul masters."

"If I feel I can't absorb it, I won't try to be strong."

Seeing Luo Ling's determined expression, Bibi Dong was silent for a long time, and finally nodded. "Take him away."

……

Ten minutes later, they arrived at a dark and secluded forest.

Ghost Douluo turned into a black shadow and rushed to the top of a tall tree.

Then, a cry like that of a siren was heard, and a large bird with a dark blue body swooped down, its eyes were deep emerald green.

It's the ghost bird.

This resting ghost bird obviously didn't expect to be disturbed, and its pair of green eyes stared fiercely at the people below.

But when the Ghost Bird's sight fell on Bibi Dong and the other three Titled Douluo, extreme fear was revealed in its eyes.

Even though it was just a soul beast, it could feel the strong aura of death from the three people.

The ghost bird let out a loud cry as if it was pretending to be powerful, and dark spikes formed around its body, then shot towards the people below.

Ghost Douluo waved his hand, and a ghost shadow emerged, instantly shattering the dark spikes.

The ghost bird finally panicked and quickly used its life-saving skills, and its entire body became illusory.

Conversion from reality to illusion is the Ghost Bird's signature skill. After transforming into a spirit, it becomes immune to physical attacks and its speed is greatly increased.

But all this is false in front of Ghost Douluo.

Ghost Douluo just waved his hand, and a ghost shadow flew over. The powerful soul power directly shot down the ghost bird.

The spirit state was broken up, it fell to the ground and twitched a few times, then the ghost bird became motionless.

"Go give it the final blow." Bibi Dong shook her head. Even now she still didn't want Luo Ling to take any risks.

Luo Ling nodded, took out a dagger from the soul guide given by Bibi Dong, walked forward, and stabbed it hard into the ghost bird's head.

A deep yellow soul ring slowly condensed and appeared, even with a hint of purple.

"This ghost bird is only one step away from becoming a thousand-year soul beast. Do you really want to absorb it?" Bibi Dong reminded again.

Luo Ling reached out and touched the soul ring in front of him, and the soul of desire in his body actually revealed a hint of longing.

"Please rest assured, teacher, I won't joke about my life." Luo Ling turned his head and smiled slightly.

"I don't want my newly accepted student to become a corpse." Bibi Dong glared at Luo Ling. She didn't know why, but even though he was her new disciple, she felt inexplicably close to him.

Bibi Dong didn't know that the Soul of Desire could make others unconsciously feel close to her, and Bibi Dong had been affected by it without realizing it.

Luo Ling smiled helplessly, turned around without hesitation, sat down cross-legged, and released his second martial soul.

The ghost bird's soul ring slowly moved towards Luo Ling, and Luo Ling's eyes were instantly dyed scarlet!
At the same time, Luo Ling's first martial soul, the Crow Shadow Puppet, also appeared simultaneously. It was clearly intended to add a soul ring to the second martial soul, but the first martial soul appeared instead. This was simply unheard of.

Everyone looked at Luo Ling nervously.

The first soul ring representing the Crow Shadow Puppet moved rhythmically up and down, and the soul ring of the Ghost Bird was actually slowly put on Luo Ling's body.

Gradually, the two soul rings began to merge!

The Crow Shadow Puppet also slowly merged into Luo Ling's body at this moment.
