I've already been given the title of Douluo, and you want me to be reasonable?

Just as Lin Yuan finished speaking, a violent spatial fluctuation suddenly came from the distant horizon. A figure as black as ink, carrying the force of thunder, sped towards them.

Wherever it passed, the air emitted a piercing crackling sound.

It was the ferocious beast Di Tian. A strange plant emitting a faint green light was wrapped around its huge dragon claw. The plant's vines twisted and struggled, but could not break free from Di Tian's restraint.

"Brother Lin, I'm back!"

Di Tian's deep voice shook the surrounding mountains and forests, and he slammed the plant heavily to the ground.

The plant was as tall as two people, crystal clear, with eerie blood-red edges on its leaves, and a flower emitting a ghostly blue light blooming at its top.

Each time the petals open and close, it is accompanied by a heart-pounding energy fluctuation, as if just a glance can give people a sense of oppression.

Just then, Ye Lingling stepped forward, her eyes filled with both anticipation and a hint of reluctance. However, she knew that to improve her strength, she had to absorb a suitable soul ring.

This 300,000-year-old plant-type soul beast is the vessel for her long-awaited seventh soul ring, and also the key to whether she can become the Goddess of Life.

"Lingling, let's get started."

Lin Yuan patted Ye Lingling on the shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement, and said softly, "Only by becoming stronger can you protect the people you want to protect."

Ye Lingling took a deep breath, and seven dazzling soul rings shone around her. She slowly raised her hands, and a layer of light green light appeared in her palms, with life force faintly flowing within the light.

The plant-type soul beast seemed to sense the danger, and it twisted its body wildly, its vines lashing out at Ye Lingling like long whips.

Upon seeing this, Di Tian snorted coldly and spat out a black dragon breath, instantly burning the vines to ashes.

Having lost its means of attack, the plant-type soul beast let out a sharp, mournful cry, and the eerie blue light within its flowers grew even brighter, as it prepared to self-destruct.

"Not good!" Canglong Shangque's expression changed drastically, and he immediately rushed forward, saying, "The power of a 300,000-year-old soul beast's self-destruction is enough to destroy most of the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"court death."

Lin Yuan's eyes sharpened, and the Asura Demon Sword in his hand was instantly drawn. A blood-red sword light slashed out, precisely severing the root of the soul beast.

The plant-type soul beast, having lost its foundation, immediately became listless, and the momentum of its self-destruction dissipated, leaving it with no chance to resist.

Without further hesitation, Ye Lingling drew a dagger from her soul tool and stabbed it fiercely at the soul beast in front of her.

As the dagger pierced the soul beast's head, the beast let out a shrill scream, struggling in vain.

Finally, it let out a last, unwilling roar, and its body gradually turned into specks of green light, merging into Ye Lingling's body.

At the same time, I imagined the red light of the 100,000-year soul ring shooting straight into the sky, dyeing the originally azure sky as blood red.

With the appearance of the 100,000-year soul ring, Ye Lingling's body trembled violently. Her face was sometimes as pale as paper and sometimes flushed red, and large beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead.

Looking at Ye Lingling in front of him, Lin Yuan was more nervous than anyone else. After all, Ye Lingling was his personal disciple, and if something happened to her, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his sister Ye Yao.

Ye Lingling gritted her teeth, constantly recalling the cultivation methods taught by Lin Yuan in her mind. She forcibly suppressed the intense pain, circulated her soul power, and the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul emitted a soft pink light, slowly enveloping the divinely bestowed soul ring.

However, a powerful repulsive force suddenly erupted from the spirit ring, shattering her martial spirit and giving her no chance to control it.

*Pfft!* Ye Lingling accidentally spat out a mouthful of blood, and her whole body swayed precariously.

But her gaze grew increasingly resolute, and under the impetus of her soul power, her shattered martial soul began to reassemble, becoming even more solid than before.

"I can't lose... I must become the strongest Soul Master..."

Ye Lingling murmured, once again mobilizing all her power to attack the soul ring, continuously absorbing this energy. Even when the sound of bones breaking could be heard, she did not stop.

As Lin Yuan watched what was happening, he subconsciously clenched his fist and simultaneously poured his soul power into Ye Lingling's body.

"Lingling, calm your mind and do as I told you. Remember, do not let the soul beast interfere with your consciousness."

Ye Lingling's bones made a sickening cracking sound, and blood began to seep from her skin, but she still persevered and integrated the reconstructed Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul into her Soul Ring.

However, Lin Yuan, as the teacher, was the most solemn at this moment. He had raised his right hand at least three times, but then lowered it again each time.

After all, Ye Lingling in front of him was his first disciple and Lin Yuan's most valued disciple. If something really happened, it would be too late to regret it.

Time passed second by second, and Ye Lingling's aura continued to rise. Finally, a clear phoenix cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and a huge green phoenix phantom appeared behind her.

This phoenix exudes vibrant life, and every feather shimmers with mysterious runes, causing the entire world to undergo a dramatic transformation at this moment.

Seeing Ye Lingling's transformation, Lin Yuan also showed a satisfied expression. He then picked up the soul bone of the soul beast and walked over.

"Lingling, this 300,000-year-old torso and soul bone is now yours."

Ye Lingling happily accepted the 300,000-ton torso soul bone handed over by her teacher, her pretty face filled with excitement.

"Lingling, congratulations on obtaining your second 100,000-year soul ring."

Zhu Zhuqing also walked over at this time, and looking at the two 100,000-year-old red soul rings surrounding Ye Lingling's body, she felt a little envious.

"Hehe, don't worry, Zhuqing, you'll have it too."

Ye Lingling's 100,000-year soul ring lit up, and at the same time, her seventh soul skill was released, making the entire world even more turbulent.

Ye Lingling raised her hand and waved it, and a green light shot towards the withered tree beside her. A miracle happened, and the tree, which had been dead for many years, instantly sprouted new buds and grew into a towering tree with lush branches and leaves in the blink of an eye.

"Such powerful life force!"

Looking at the energy fluctuations before her, Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed in amazement, "Lingling, your strength has improved by a lot again!"

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said gently, "Not bad, this 300,000-year-old plant-type soul beast is a perfect match for your martial soul. With the seventh soul skill, you will reach a new level in both healing and combat."

Ye Lingling looked at Lin Yuan excitedly, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Teacher, thank you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Lin Yuan affectionately ruffled Ye Lingling's hair and said, "This is all you deserve."
