MM Racing Chapter 7 Searching for the Shadow Leopard
Chapter 7 Searching for the Shadow Leopard
The carriage door was pushed open by a slender hand, and a faint fragrance wafted into the air.
In the driver's seat, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan sat upright, bowed to Bibi Dong, and then flicked the reins. The two Wind Chasing Steeds set off, steadily pulling the carriage towards the outside of Wuhun City.
The ghostly figure transformed into a wisp of smoke the moment the carriage started moving, disappearing into the surrounding shadows and following silently.
The interior of the carriage is spacious and decorated in a low-key yet luxurious style.
As soon as Lin Yu sat down, he felt uncomfortable all over.
He tried to shrink himself into a corner, his back straight, his hands on his knees, looking exactly like a primary school student waiting for a scolding from the teacher.
There was no way around it; sitting right next to him was Bibi Dong! The ultimate boss!
Even though she was dressed casually, the invisible pressure she exuded made him afraid to even breathe.
Survival is the top priority! In her presence, any unnecessary movement can be interpreted in countless ways.
Are you afraid of me?
A question, cool yet carrying a strange feeling, rang in my ears.
Lin Yu froze, shaking his head like a rattle drum.
"No! Absolutely not! Teacher, you are so exceptionally talented, I admire you so much, how could I possibly be afraid!"
This survival-driven response silenced the air in the carriage for a moment.
Bibi Dong didn't say anything more, but simply took off an antique-style bracelet from her wrist and handed it over.
The bracelet is entirely silver-white, with some intricate patterns that are difficult to decipher.
"This is for you."
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked over.
"A gift for becoming an apprentice. A storage soul tool, not very big, only about ten cubic meters in space." Bibi Dong's tone was flat, revealing no emotion. "You'll need a lot of things in the future, so having a storage device will be more convenient."
Storage Soul Tool!
Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat!
Good heavens! Good heavens! He was just worrying about where to put his messy notes and the treasures he might get in the future, and now someone has delivered a pillow to his sleep! And it's a luxury item recognized by the Soul Master world!
This thing was a rare commodity in the original story, something that ordinary Soul Masters wouldn't even dare to dream of. I never thought that I would have one all to myself.
Thank you, teacher!
Lin-Zhenxiang-Yu's expression of gratitude this time was filled with utmost sincerity.
He carefully took the bracelet; it was slightly cool to the touch and felt wonderful. He couldn't wait to activate it with his soul power, following Bibi Dong's instructions.
The next second, a strange sensation appeared in his mind, and an empty cubic space appeared in his perception.
This feels amazing!
His opinion of this cheap teacher improved significantly in an instant.
Although she is ruthless and may go crazy in the future, at least for now, she is still very good to her disciple.
Those thighs are thick!
Bibi Dong saw his joy but didn't say anything. Instead, she asked, "What are your thoughts on your first spirit ring?"
Now, let's get to the main point!
Lin Yu immediately composed himself, sat up straight, and explained the plan he had already devised.
Lin Yu immediately composed himself, sat up straight, and explained the plan he had already devised.
"Master, I've thought about it for a long time. I want to prioritize soul beasts with spatial attributes."
After he finished speaking, he carefully observed Bibi Dong's reaction.
Sure enough, Bibi Dong paused slightly, her hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air, and a hint of doubt appeared in her beautiful purple eyes.
"Spatial attribute?" she repeated, as if to make sure she hadn't misheard. "Your martial soul is inclined towards attributes like death and the netherworld, so why choose a completely unrelated spatial attribute?"
Lin Yu had already anticipated this question and shared his guess from his previous conversation with Ghost Douluo.
After he finished speaking, a long silence fell over the carriage.
Bibi Dong looked at Lin Yu curiously. Was he really a six-year-old orphan?
How could someone think of so much just from a few words of advice and flipping through a few pages of a book?
This inevitably reminded her of someone, someone long forgotten in her mind: Yu Xiaogang.
The name had barely surfaced in my mind when it was violently suppressed by a chilling sense of irritation.
He shook his head, concealing the complex and dark emotions that flashed across his eyes.
"What is your target spirit beast?" After a long while, Bibi Dong finally spoke again.
"Shadow Leopard." Lin Yu uttered the three words without hesitation.
Bibi Dong began searching her mind for information about this kind of soul beast, and soon she remembered: "A mutated species of the Shadow Leopard, extremely rare. When it attacks, it can tear through space, rendering energy defenses ineffective."
"Yes!"
"Yes, but space-attribute soul beasts are very rare. You can't just focus on one type of soul beast. You need to choose several types so that you can obtain soul rings more effectively," Bibi Dong said earnestly.
Lin Yu quickly nodded, "I understand, teacher!"
Seeing how obedient Lin Yu was, Bibi Dong once again felt that taking him as a disciple was an extremely correct decision.
Two and a half hours later, the carriage gradually slowed down and finally came to a smooth stop.
"Your Majesty, we have arrived at the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest," came the respectful report from outside the carriage from Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.
"Get out of the car." Bibi Dong stood up first, her skirt tracing an elegant arc.
Lin Yu quickly followed.
As soon as I stepped out of the car, a wave of moist air, carrying the fresh scent of earth and grass, rushed towards me, instantly invigorating me. Before me stretched an endless green ocean, with towering ancient trees blocking out the sun, and the faint sounds of various strange birds and the roars of animals echoing from the depths of the forest, filled with a primal and wild atmosphere.
It's back again.
Lin Yu took a deep breath, recalling how just a few days ago, he had been taken out of this forest by Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, and now he was back.
Without pausing for a moment, Bibi Dong calmly instructed the air beside her, "Yue Guan, Gui Mei, go and search for traces of the Void Shadow Leopard, dating back to around four hundred years ago. Report back immediately upon finding it."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Two distinctly different responses rang out simultaneously, one in the light and one in the shadows, before the two powerful auras quickly dissipated into the distance.
After doing all this, Bibi Dong turned around, her cold gaze falling on Lin Yu.
"Let's go."
She led Lin Yu into the vast forest.
Upon entering the forest, the light dimmed considerably.
Bibi Dong walked slowly, explaining to Lin Yu the knowledge about Soul Masters and Soul Hunting as she went.
It all boils down to who gets to kill the spirit beast and who gets to absorb it, as well as some issues about the time limit for absorbing spirit rings.
When she said that the absorption limit of the first spirit ring was 423 years, Lin Yu almost couldn't hold back.
Just then, Bibi Dong turned around, and the two looked at each other, seeing Lin Yu trying hard to suppress his laughter.
Bibi Dong's voice turned cold: "What are you laughing at?"
She wouldn't allow anyone to question Yu Xiaogang's theories, not even her own disciples.
"No, I'm just happy to know that with my teacher and the two elders here, they will definitely be able to help me obtain a top-tier spirit ring!" Lin Yu waved his hands repeatedly.
He didn't want to anger Bibi Dong at this moment, otherwise he would inevitably get a beating.
Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly, but didn't say anything. She simply raised her hand and grabbed Lin Yu's shoulder, saying, "If you want to absorb a high-level spirit ring, you first need to have a strong physique, otherwise you will only explode and die."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong used her soul power to test Lin Yu's physical strength.
Rolling his eyes inwardly, Lin Yu silently complained: You know it's related to physical strength, so didn't you notice the problem here? Sure enough, women with love in their minds have basically zero IQ.
After experiencing it for a while, Bibi Dong looked puzzled. Her disciple's physical strength was actually at the level of a Great Soul Master. Was that reasonable? He had only recently awakened his Martial Soul.
"Cough, your physical strength has reached the level of a Great Soul Master, so absorbing a Limit Soul Ring shouldn't be a problem."
"Then, teacher, can I try absorbing a spirit ring of a higher age?"
"There's no rush," Bibi Dong interrupted him, her gaze fixed on the depths of the forest. "Once we find a suitable Void Shadow Leopard, I will personally assess its age and energy intensity before making a decision. Remember, age isn't necessarily better the higher it is; the key is whether it resonates with your martial soul."
As they were talking, the shadows of the trees ahead parted silently, and a ghostly figure emerged quietly, like an ink painting.
"Your Majesty, we've found it."
