After stopping Mu Xi's bleeding, Su Mo turned around and looked at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear behind him.
Looking at the figure blocking her way, Mu Xi, regaining her senses, bit her pink lips hard, her mind filled with Su Mo's bright and sunny smile.
In the observation room, Wang Ling, who was paying close attention to the action on the field, stared wide-eyed in disbelief as he watched Su Mo, who had chosen to stay and confront the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear instead of running away.
Keep in mind that this was a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with over a hundred years of cultivation; even some ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts would turn tail and run if they encountered it.
Su Mo is only a level 29 Great Soul Master, yet he dares to challenge the being in front of him who is comparable to a Soul King.
"Ho~"
The three-meter-tall Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared angrily, its huge roar creating a shockwave on the ground.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was furious with Su Mo, the human who had just stolen its prey.
Since it became aware of itself, no one in this Spirit Ascension Platform has ever dared to snatch its prey from its grasp. Su Mo's act of rescuing Mu Xi is undoubtedly a challenge to its status as the overlord of this area.
"You stinky bear, you're so noisy!"
Hearing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's deafening roar, Su Mo covered his ears in disgust.
"Hooho~"
Seemingly enraged by Su Mo's words, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear stretched out its right paw and slapped Su Mo's head without thinking.
What makes the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear most feared is its pair of giant claws. Once hit by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's giant claws, even a Soul King would lose half his life.
Therefore, when facing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's attack, Su Mo did not dare to be careless and immediately activated his Sharingan.
Although the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, with its century-long cultivation, possesses combat power comparable to a Soul King, this is limited to its defense and attack capabilities.
In terms of speed, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear doesn't perform particularly well due to its bulky size.
If the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's speed could rival that of a Soul King, Su Mo would definitely run away with Mu Xi without looking back.
With the help of the Sharingan's powerful perception, Su Mo easily dodged the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's attack.
"Spiral pills!"
In the instant he dodged the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's attack, Su Mo unleashed a Rasengan at the bear's furry belly without a second thought.
"This is way too meaty!"
Looking at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which had only suffered minor cuts from being hit by his Rasengan, Su Mo's face was full of disdain.
You should know that he had just deliberately added wind-style chakra nature transformation to the Rasengan to increase its power, but even so, it only barely broke through the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's defense.
Of course, this is also related to Su Mo's current weakness. With Su Mo's meager cultivation level, the fact that he was able to break through the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's defense shows that the power of the Rasengan is already terrifying enough.
"Ho ho ho~"
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared in pain, its beady eyes flashing with ferocity, and its giant claws decisively slammed towards Su Mo's head.
Su Mo dared not be careless and leaped out of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's attack range.
With a loud thud, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's giant claw slammed heavily onto the ground.
Under the ravages of this terrifying force, the ground instantly caved in, and cracks spread out like a spider web.
Looking at the large crater that had been created on the ground, Su Mo scratched his head in frustration.
If ninjutsu doesn't work, I'll have to resort to taijutsu.
"???"
"This is……"
Wu Changkong, whose attention had been focused on Tang Wulin, was drawn to Su Mo after he saw her draw her longsword.
As a swordsman, Wu Changkong was also very curious about what kind of swordsmanship Su Mo could use.

Chapter 19 Killing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear
"Whoo~"
Su Mo took a deep breath and took out a simple, unadorned horizontal sword about three feet long from his storage soul tool. The sword consisted only of a hilt and a blade.
This horizontal sword was a chakra ninja tool that Su Mo made himself out of sunken silver when he was bored.
Because of its excellent conductivity, silver is the perfect material for crafting chakra tools.
Thanks to his years of advanced studies in the Kingdom of Craftsmen, Su Mo was able to excel in forging after arriving in Douluo Continent.
In Douluo Continent, blacksmiths are divided into nine levels: Level 1 and 2 are Master level, Level 3 and 4 are Grandmaster level, Level 5 and 6 are Grandmaster level, Level 7 and 8 are Saint level, and the highest level, Level 9, is God level.
According to the standards of the Forging Masters Association, Su Mo is now a qualified Level 6 Forging Master.
Even in the entire Sun and Moon Federation, a level six blacksmith can be considered an elite individual.
Of course, this is based on the premise that Su Mo didn't use any cheats.
As everyone knows, in Douluo Continent, the mark of a blacksmith becoming a Saint Craftsman is the ability to complete Soul Forging, which is defined as giving metal life and self-awareness.
In the Naruto world, there happens to be a ninjutsu that can give life and self-awareness to inorganic matter.
Therefore, if we include the Immortal Technique of Inorganic Rebirth that Su Mo learned from Longdi Cave, then there is no doubt that Su Mo has already entered the legendary realm of Saint Craftsman.
Moreover, thanks to the Inorganic Reincarnation technique, which is practically a bug-level ninjutsu, Su Mo can complete a perfect soul forging with just a flick of his finger. Such exaggerated soul forging efficiency would break even the heart of a master craftsman.
As Su Mo slowly channeled his wind-attribute chakra into the Shenyin Horizontal Blade, a transparent sword aura, invisible to the naked eye, adhered to the blade.
"Hooho~"
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared as it charged toward Su Mo, its hill-sized body causing the ground to tremble with every step it took.
Unfortunately, in front of Su Mo, who had awakened his Sharingan, all of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's movements were so slow and full of flaws.
"Seven-day breathing technique, third stage activation!"
In order to finish the battle quickly, Su Mo activated the Seven-Day Breathing Technique without hesitation while dodging to the side.
Unlike the Eight Gates, which has a long history and has been improved by many people, the founder of the Seven Heavens Breathing Technique, Shiro, was not even a ninja before Gaara took over. It was only after Gaara took over that Shiro qualified to participate in the ninja exam.
To obtain this breathing technique, which was comparable to the first seven gates of the Eight Gates, Su Mo deliberately waited until Gaara was captured before exchanging information about Gaara with Zi Luo.
The biggest difference between the two top-tier physical techniques, the Eight Gates Formation and the Seven Heavens Breathing Technique, lies in their different methods of amplifying oneself.
The Eight Gates technique involves opening acupoints in the body to temporarily remove restrictions on the flow of chakra, allowing for a brief burst of power.
The Seven-Day Breathing Method activates the body's cells by inhaling large amounts of oxygen, emphasizing a gradual and continuous process.
Unfortunately, the Seven Heavens Breathing Technique doesn't have its own finishing move like the Eight Gates Technique, so its power is somewhat lacking.
However, the Seven-Day Breathing Technique also has advantages that the Eight Gates Technique does not have: the Seven-Day Breathing Technique lasts longer and is less harmful to the body.
One is heart-wrenching, the other is lung-bursting; anyone would know which to choose.
Of course, because these two techniques amplify themselves in different ways, Su Mo can use both of them simultaneously to amplify himself.
A large amount of air flowed into Su Mo's lungs with his rhythmic breathing, turning into a continuous source of energy. Then, a wave of orange-yellow air suddenly burst out from Su Mo's body.
"Could this be a secret innate technique of the Body Sect?"
Looking at Su Mo, whose muscles had visibly swelled and whose body was as red as a boiled lobster, Wu Changkong secretly speculated in his mind.
Although the Body Sect is not as glorious as it was ten thousand years ago, it can still be considered one of the top forces in the Douluo Continent thanks to its inherited innate secret techniques.
As an inner disciple of the Tang Sect, Wu Changkong naturally knew of the existence of the Body Sect.
While Wu Changkong was pondering Su Mo's origins, Su Mo was already locked in combat with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
After using the Seven-Day Breathing Technique, Su Mo's speed and reaction time increased several times over.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which was not known for its speed to begin with, now moved as slowly as a snail in Su Mo's eyes.
"Shh-"
The blade flashed suddenly.
Su Mo lightly touched the ground with her toes, leaving a phantom in her wake.
The horizontal blade swept upwards in an arc of light, its edge brushing past the bear's neck and sending up a series of crescent-shaped flashes.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared, and its giant claws, gleaming with a dark gold metallic luster, slammed down towards Su Mo once more.
As Su Mo dodged to the side, he gently pushed with the back of his blade, using the force to dodge to the side and rear of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
The wind-attribute chakra suddenly erupted, and the invisible sword aura on the blade instantly extended by half a foot.
Even though the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's defense was extremely formidable, it was completely useless against Su Mo's horizontal sword, which had already undergone soul forging and was imbued with wind-attribute chakra.
Su Mo delivered a horizontal slash, cutting a deep, bone-revealing wound directly into the shoulder blade of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, writhing in pain and enraged, opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Su Mo.
Su Mo lowered his waist slightly, his whole body fixed in place like a nail, and with both hands gripping the hilt of the knife, he slashed fiercely towards the bear's mouth.
With a dull thud as metal struck bone, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was thrown back, its center wide open.
Su Mo seized the opportunity decisively, aimed at the heart of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and threw the horizontal sword in his hand.
The horizontal blade transformed into a streak of light, piercing through the air and accompanied by a low, whistling sound as it "plop—" sank into the chest of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's massive body shuddered violently, its roar abruptly ceased, and the golden light in its eyes quickly dimmed.
Su Mo took a step forward and, using the explosive force from the Seven-Day Breathing Technique, leaped onto the bear's back, channeling all his chakra into the blade.
The violent wind-attribute chakra flowed along the blade into the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body, shredding its internal organs to dust.
"Boom!" The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's massive body crashed heavily to the ground.
Looking at the lifeless Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear before him, Su Mo let out a heavy breath and released the Seven-Day Breathing Technique.
Once the seven-day incantation was lifted, Su Mo's body immediately shrank drastically, returning to its original appearance.
In the observation room
Seeing Su Mo kill the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear without taking any damage, Wang Ling was completely stunned.
A level 29 Soul Master killing a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with a century of cultivation without taking any damage—if Wang Ling hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he would have thought the world had gone mad.
