"So, will you graduate before us? But if you wait 1 more year we can all graduate together"

On a hill near Nuoding Academy, three children could be seen talking to each other.

These three were Long Aotian, Tang San, and Xiao Wu.

Currently Aotian was telling them that he was going to graduate early because he had business to attend to.

"I have already made the decision, there is nothing more to talk about, I will still go to the same Academy as you, only that currently I have matters to attend to"

While he was telling this, Aotian was walking to his room to look for his things.

"But at least you can tell us what business you have to attend to"

Seeing that he was adamant in his decision, Tang San decided to ask him what business he had to attend to that he was leaving so suddenly.

"It's a private matter, so I won't be able to tell you now, but when it's time, I'll tell you, now accompany me out of town."

After saying these words, Aotian goes to the room and puts his things away.

Outskirts of Nuoding City

Two boys could be seen waving goodbye to a taller boy with a backpack on his back.

"We'll see each other in a year at the Shrek Academy that your teacher Tang San recommended to us, until then take care of Xiao Wu and get stronger, they still haven't made me use my soul rings yet"

Saying those words, Aotian breaks into a big smile as he pats Xiao Wu and Tang San on the head.

"Yes, I am currently a rank 26 Spiritual Grandmaster, and Xiao Wu is rank 25, take good care of yourself and send us letters when you can."

Hearing those words, Aotian walks away as he waves his hand towards his friends.

Far north

Currently in a frozen cave, Aotian could be seen meditating in the lotus position.

"I am currently a rank 53 spirit king, I am currently about to search for the first soul ring for my Dragon of the Frozen Depths"

Talking to himself, Aotian takes out his Kusanagi martial soul and sees five rings floating around him, 2 purple and 3 black.

He wanted to get a hundred thousand year ring for his fifth ring, but he's still not strong enough to kill a beast of that power, so he had to settle for a 50,000 year ring, where he almost lost his power. lifetime.

His third ring that he obtained from the Fire Silkworm gave him the ability [Blazing Fire Doppelganger], this ability makes him create a clone of himself, with 100% of his strength, and he can also exchange places with this .

Also, when it's cloned when it's destroyed, it explodes into a searing fire bomb, hence the name.

(The explosion is in a diameter of approximately 3 meters)

His fourth ring came from a 23,000-year-old Fire Titan Monkey, it possesses great defense, and gave him the ability [Kusanagi Shield], this forms a large transparent barrier around the user for 10 seconds and lowers the power of incoming attacks. by 70%.

(Basically when the attacks come in contact with the barrier, they lose 90% power, but still hit Aotian)

And the fifth ring from him came from a 50,000 year old Fiery Crystal Serpent, it has red crystal-like scales, hence his name.

This soul beast gave him the skill [Fiery Battle Body], which causes his body to be surrounded by red crystal-like scales, this skill gives him +70% defense, and attack for 15 seconds.

Although none of these soul beasts left him a soul bone.

The head soul bone he obtained from the Fire Silkworm gave him an ability called [Mind Shock], which apart from giving him great spiritual power, sends a strong shock of spiritual power into the enemy's mind. .

Currently he is thinking about which soul beast would be his first soul ring on his Dragon of the Frozen Depths, preferably he wanted it to be a dragon clan beast, or have true dragon bloodline.

Tired of searching for a suitable soul beast, Aotian went to a nearby village to see if he could find information on a dragon-type soul beast.

Canglang village

Entering the village, Aotian quickly went to a tavern to see if he could find any information.

Sitting on a chair, Aotian orders some 1000-year-old soul beast steaks and listens to what the drunks are saying.

"Did you hear about the soul beast that almost killed a group of Douluo Spirits?"

While drinking, a slightly drunk middle-aged man tells his drunk friend that he is sitting to the right of him.

"What, is there such a strong beast out there?"

After hearing these words, Aotian pricks up his ears

to hear what the middle-aged man is going to say.

"Yes, it is said that he was a great celestial dragon, although no one has gone to verify it and that is why they say that it is a lie. But I saw with my own eyes the battle that day."

While he continued to drink, the middle-aged man carefully told his friend.

Aotian gets up from his place and walks to where the man is drinking.

Putting down a bag full of gold coins, Aotian asks the lord if he can tell him the location of the soul beast.

"Ohh, I see, you want to try your luck, friend, I recommend you not go, but it's your decision. On this map is the direction you have to go."

Looking at Aotian who was hooded for a while, the man sighed and passed him a map that he had in his right pocket.

"Thanks a lot"

Leaving a tip on his table, Aotian leaves the tavern and embarks on his journey back to the Far North.
