Douluo: Infinite Lottery System

Xiao Tianyang gazed at the trees towering into the sky and the vast, verdant ocean of greenery that exuded a primal aura. Suppressing the emotions stirring in his heart, he whispered softly, "Bubu!"

As soon as the words left his lips, everyone, including Zhao Wuji, was stunned.

Had the dog been following them all along?

Suddenly, something happened that made their eyes widen in disbelief.

Bubu emerged from the grass right under their noses! The little dog trotted over to Xiao Tianyang and sat down in front of him, sticking out his tongue playfully.

"Go ahead and scout the area. If you sense any danger, lead us around it," Xiao Tianyang instructed in a low voice.

"Woof!" Bubu barked in response before turning around and vanishing into the grass, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Xiao Wu stepped forward, her face filled with surprise. "Brother Tianyang, when did Bubu join us?"

"He's been following us since we left. You just didn't notice him," Xiao Tianyang replied, waving his hand dismissively. "Let's keep moving while it's still early."

Seeing that he didn't want to elaborate, everyone decided not to press further.

However, Zhao Wuji, who was trailing behind, couldn't help but furrows his brow in thought. "This time, I released my perception ahead of time, so why couldn't I detect this dog's approach? But Bubu isn't a soul beast, so where does this ability come from? This kid..."

After pondering for a while, Zhao Wuji shook his head and gave up. It wasn't that he wasn't curious, but he didn't want to pry into a students' secrets.

The group continued forward, relying on Bubu's warnings to avoid unnecessary encounters with soul beasts.

Strangely, whenever they came across century-old spirit beasts, the creatures showed no intention of fighting. Instead, they retreated actively, occasionally following the group with mild curiosity.

Suddenly, Xiao Tianyang's body trembled slightly. He then announced, "At ten o'clock, about 300 meters away, there are traces of a soul beast. It might be one of our targets."

"How can you see that from such a distance?" Ma Hongjun asked, his voice filled with disbelief.

"It's not me who saw it. It's Bubu," Xiao Tianyang replied with a mysterious smile. "He's a bit special. As long as the distance isn't too great, we can communicate through our minds."

Oscar's eyes widened in amazement. "That's incredible!"

"It really is," Xiao Tianyang said with a wave of his hand. "Let's move."

As they walked, Tang San asked, "Brother Tianyang, what does the soul beast you mentioned look like?"

Xiao Tianyang described the scene Bubu had relayed to him: "It's a flying snake, about seven meters in length, with a flying height of around four meters. It has a sarcoma on its head, and its tail resembles a rooster's comb."

To be honest, Xiao Tianyang wasn't particularly knowledgeable in this area unless he used his ancient god's eyes to observe directly.

Even Tang San and Ma Hongjun might surpass him in this regard. After all, he had been a bit of a slacker in his previous life, and that hadn't changed much since coming here.

Unsurprisingly, Tang San immediately recognized the creature. "That's a Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent!" He turned to Oscar and explained, "This type of snake soul beast is quite rare. The fleshy crown on its head stores nutrients, which can provide a significant speed boost in critical moments. Oscar, this one should suit you well."

Ma Hongjun couldn't help but stare in envy. "Oscar, you're so lucky!"

"This is all thanks to you, Tianyang. Otherwise, I might have missed it," Oscar said, his expression one of gratitude toward Xiao Tianyang.

As they walked, Tang San continued analyzing. "If the snake is over six meters long, it's at least a thousand years old. This one is seven meters, so its age should be between 1,000 and 1,500 years."

"Little San, you're amazing. With just a brief description, you can estimate the age of the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent," Dai Mubai praised, giving him a thumbs-up. "You're like a walking encyclopedia."

Tang San didn't have time to respond to the compliment. Instead, he asked, "Brother Tianyang, is the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent injured?"

"No," Xiao Tianyang replied, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Don't underestimate a soul beast. I've spent enough time in the Soul Hunting Forest to understand the situation."

"It's better to be cautious," Zhao Wuji muttered from the side.

Tang San smiled awkwardly.

"Tianyang, what's the plan now?" Dai Mubai asked in a serious tone.

As they approached the coordinates Xiao Tianyang had mentioned, they could faintly hear rustling in the woods.

"What's the strategy?" Xiao Tianyang spread his hands. "With your strength, there's no need for a full-on siege." Suddenly, he glanced at Saber. "How about giving them a solo performance?"

"Alright," Saber replied with a smile, stepping forward confidently.

"Is she really okay on her own?" Ning Rongrong asked, feeling a bit uneasy. At the very least, shouldn't she use a couple of soul skills first?

"I think you've forgotten how Saber handled Teacher Zhao back then," Xiao Tianyang reminded her.

"Cough, cough!" Zhao Wuji coughed violently and shot Xiao Tianyang a glare.

Xiao Tianyang chuckled but didn't say anything more. If he continued, he might end up getting beaten...

He quickly moved away from Zhao Wuji and approached Saber. At that moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he called out softly, "Upper left, on the second branch!"

Saber's sharp green eyes immediately locked onto the spot Xiao Tianyang had indicated. She stomped her foot on the ground, and the Sword of Promised Victory- Excalibur materialized in her hand. In an instant, she activated her soul ring!

"Second Soul Skill: Shining Road!"

A brilliant, right-angled sword light flashed through the air. The Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent, which had just poked its head out, was caught completely off guard. In the blink of an eye, most of its lower jaw was severed!

But Saber wasn't done yet. She tapped the branch with her toes, launching herself into the air above the snake. Narrowing her eyes, she aimed for the seven-inch mark—the snake's weak point—and slammed the hilt of her sword down with precision.

Boom!

The Cockscomb Snake crashed to the ground, its tail twitching a couple of times before going limp.

Everyone was stunned by the scene that had unfolded in mere moments.

Xiao Tianyang wore a matter-of-fact expression. "The most powerful thing about Saber isn't her martial soul or soul rings—it's her combat awareness and skill." He glanced at the others. "Watch closely and learn. If you can reach her level, you'll have mastered what I've taught you."

"Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?" Ma Hongjun finally closed his gaping mouth. "Not only does she seamlessly use her soul skills, but she can also predict her target's movements and strike with such precision..."

"Not just that. Look at the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent," Dai Mubai said, his tone serious. Everyone followed his gaze.

What they saw left them speechless. Despite the swift and decisive strike, the soul beast was still alive—just completely immobilized.

In their minds, only someone like Zhao Wuji, with his seven soul rings, could achieve such a feat.

"Oscar, don't just stand there. Hurry up!" Zhao Wuji barked, snapping Oscar out of his daze.

"Oh, right!" Oscar exclaimed, quickly pulling out a dagger and rushing forward.
