Chapter 1: Zhou Sichen, Twin Martial Souls
Douluo Continent, Star Dou Forest, Outer Region.
The Star Dou Forest was one of the vastest and oldest gathering places for soul beasts on the Douluo Continent. As far as the eye could see, towering ancient trees stretched endlessly, exuding the unique fragrance of the forest and brimming with vibrant life.
In this outer region, most of the soul beasts were below the ten-thousand-year level. However, even so, ordinary Soul Kings had to tread carefully.
Yet, in this perilous forest, an astonishing and eerie sight was unfolding.
A massive, ice-blue scorpion over three meters long moved steadily through the forest. What was even more incredible was that a human sat atop its back!
Setting aside the inherent hostility between humans and soul beasts, the mere presence of such a giant scorpion here was already unbelievable.
This enormous ice-blue scorpion was an Ice Jade Scorpion, a species exclusive to the Extreme North and one of its top apex predators.
Legend spoke of the Three Great Rulers of the Extreme North—three supreme soul beasts that had surpassed the hundred-thousand-year level, known as the Ferocious Beasts.
One of these Ferocious Beasts hailed from the Ice Jade Scorpion lineage—the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, ranked seventh among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.
And yet, such a powerful and fearsome Ice Jade Scorpion had now become a human's mount?
Anyone witnessing this scene would find it utterly inconceivable!
