Douluo: Wuhun Magic Harp, summoning ancient beasts

Chapter 29: The Fourth Ring of Ten Thousand Years

Dugu Bo was once again shocked by Long Chen's words.

The energy impact of the ten thousand year soul ring is a huge test for soul masters.

Even he dared to try to absorb the ten thousand year soul ring only after his soul power reached level fifty.

And Long Chen, a soul master who had just entered level 40, was so confident.

"Boy, are you sure you can withstand the energy impact of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring?"

"Senior, don't worry, I have made up my mind."

Long Chen smiled slightly, with determination flashing in his eyes.

He had eaten whale glue, and with the body-refining effects of the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, his body was no longer comparable to that of an ordinary soul master.

Moreover, a few days ago he specially took the Wangchuanqiushui Dew, and his mental strength was greatly improved.

Therefore, he believed that he could withstand the energy impact of the ten thousand year soul ring.

Dugu Bo frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Well, since you are so confident, I will accompany you to the Star Forest."

The two then set off for the Star Forest.

We reached our destination in just two days.

Long Chen was not unfamiliar with this forest, having been here many times.

However, I haven't been deep into the forest yet.

This time they are looking for a ten thousand year old soul beast, which is difficult to encounter on the outskirts of the forest, so they need to go inside.

Relying on his rich experience and keen perception, Dugu Bo led Long Chen to explore the center of the forest.

After two days of searching, they finally found the target in a deep valley.

The soul beast was four meters long, huge in size, with black fur, eyes flashing with a faint red light, and exuding a heart-pounding aura.

Dugu Bo said softly:
"It's a ghost tiger that has cultivated for ten thousand years."

"I want it!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Long Chen's eyes.

"Senior, let me deal with this ghost tiger myself."

After hearing this, Dugu Bo's face changed.

"You are kidding, this is a ten thousand year old soul beast, it has strong combat power. Moreover, it is faster than ordinary tiger soul beasts. You have just reached level 40, you are no match for it."

"How do you know if you haven't tried it?"

Dugu Bo shook his head slightly and smiled:
"You are too confident. Not only did you absorb the ten thousand year spirit ring, but you also wanted to hunt down the ten thousand year old ghost tiger by yourself."

"If I can't deal with it, it won't be too late for you to take action."

"You won't cry until you see the coffin. Well, then go and try it."

Under Dugu Bo's slightly worried yet expectant gaze, Long Chen stretched out his body and faced the ten thousand year old ghost tiger alone.

Long Chen concentrated his mind, and the Dark Night Magic Harp martial spirit instantly appeared in front of him.

As his fingertips plucked the strings, a low and mysterious sound echoed through the valley, striking deep into Guihu's soul.

The ghost tiger was startled by the sudden sound of the piano. A faint red light flashed in his eyes. He roared and pounced towards Long Chen fiercely. His speed was as fast as a black lightning.

Facing this surging attack, Long Chen was well prepared.

His fingers jumped quickly on the strings of the piano. As the sound of the piano became more and more exciting, a huge green basalt phantom tightly wrapped him up.

The ghost tiger's sharp claws and fangs slammed hard on the black tortoise's phantom, but only caused ripples and could not penetrate the seemingly weak but actually indestructible light and shadow defense.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo was shocked.

He didn't expect that Long Chen, as a control-type soul master, had such a strong defense that he could easily resist the attack of the ten thousand year old ghost tiger. What surprised Dugu Bo even more was that behind the black tortoise phantom, a huge snake tail quietly stretched out and flexibly wrapped around the ghost tiger, restricting its movement.

But, the ghost tiger is a ten thousand year old soul beast after all, and will not surrender easily.

It roared continuously, and the soul power surged in its body. The powerful force broke free from the restraints of the Xuanwu phantom.

When it launched the attack again, its body suddenly split into two, turning into two identical black shadows, attacking the head and tail of the Xuanwu phantom respectively.

Facing the ghost tiger's cunning counterattack, Long Chen curled his lips into a sneer.

He moved his fingers slightly, and his first soul skill was suddenly activated.

A huge Taotie phantom appeared out of nowhere, with the momentum of devouring everything, and collided head-on with the ghost tiger's real body.

Seeing the shadow of the Taotie with a human face and a sheep body, Dugu Bo was shocked once again.

"What is this? Why are Long Chen's soul skills so weird? He is such an evil boy."

Under Long Chen's control, Taotie and the ghost tiger started a fierce fight, biting each other madly.

Although the ferocious monster is just an illusion, it has an attack power as strong as the real thing.

After a fierce fight, Taotie showed its overwhelming strength and bit the ghost tiger's neck.

The powerful force made the ghost tiger's struggle futile, and it was eventually suppressed and bitten to death by the Taotie amidst a desperate roar.

"How is this possible?!"

"I used a hundred-year soul skill to kill a ghost tiger that had cultivated for ten thousand years!"

Dugu Bo witnessed the whole process from the side, and the expression on his face could no longer be described as shocking.

He never expected that the ferocious beast summoned by Long Chen through the sound of the piano would be so powerful.

Long Chen put away the Dark Night Magic Harp martial spirit.

Dugu Bo walked towards him.

"Boy, what was that monster you summoned with the music? I've never seen one before."

"It's called Taotie, an ancient vicious beast."

"Taotie?"

Dugu Bo shook his head.

"Boy, your soul skills are too weird. I have lived for seventy or eighty years, and I have never seen a soul master and soul skills like yours. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that someone could kill a soul beast that has cultivated for ten thousand years with a hundred-year soul skill."

Long Chen smiled and didn't explain too much.

Dugu Bo only now realized that Long Chen's confidence came from his own strong strength.

"Okay, adjust your state and prepare to absorb the spirit ring. I will protect you."

"Okay, thanks."

Wisps of black mist slowly rose from the ghost tiger's body and gradually condensed into a ten thousand year soul ring emitting black light in the air.

Long Chen adjusted his state, pulled the ten thousand year soul ring over, and then began to absorb it.

As the soul ring was absorbed, powerful waves of energy surged in Long Chen's body, like rivers flowing into the sea.

Long Chen felt the huge impact of the energy, and beads of sweat continued to seep out of his forehead, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Dugu Bo watched closely from the side, ready to deal with any unexpected events at any time.

Although he believed in Long Chen, absorbing the ten thousand year spirit ring was still a huge test for a fourteen-year-old young spirit master who had just entered level forty.

As time passed, Long Chen's aura gradually stabilized, and his soul power, which had been fluctuating violently, also began to calm down.

Dugu Bo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Long Chen has successfully passed the most dangerous stage.
