Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

"Sister, you can start now."

Ye Chen casually pulled the huge Dark Moon Demon Tiger over and tossed it in front of Zhang Lexuan, signaling her that she could make her move.

At this moment, the Darkmoon Tiger had lost all ability to resist, like a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.

Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart.

She knew now was not the time to be shocked; acquiring the spirit ring was the primary objective.

Zhang Lexuan tightened her grip on the moon blade, its moon-white light shining in the dim valley, cold and sharp.

She walked step by step toward the Dark Moon Demon Tiger, which was imprisoned by both ice crystals and an invisible seal.

Even when suppressed to the extreme, the oppressive aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast still retained a trace of chilling power.

But at this moment, this aura seemed so pale and powerless in the face of Ye Chen's inescapable net.

Zhang Lexuan stood before the enormous head of the Dark Moon Demon Tiger.

The fear and pleading in the tiger's eyes were clearly visible, but she did not hesitate for a moment.

The relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts is inherently cruel.

She gripped the moon blade with both hands, raising it high above her head, pouring all her abundant soul power into it without reservation.

The sixth spirit ring flickered slightly, transforming into a moon-white ribbon refined to its ultimate form.

"Whoosh-"

The moon blade, with a piercing shriek as it tore through the air, slashed with unparalleled precision at the Dark Moon Demon Tiger's thick neck, which was covered in dark ice crystals!

"Pfft——!"

A slightly gritty sound came from behind.

The enormous, ferocious tiger head was completely separated from its massive body!

No blood gushed from the severed neck, because all the blood was instantly frozen into dark red ice crystals by the residual extreme cold, leaving the cut smooth as a mirror.

The 100,000-year-old Dark Moon Demon Tiger has fallen!
The instant the tiger's head hit the ground, an indescribable surge of immense energy erupted from the headless tiger's body!
boom--!
A blinding crimson light shot into the sky, and the dense, unyielding soul power surged like a tangible tsunami, instantly sweeping across the entire valley and even spreading into the distant forest.

A massive, deep soul ring, as dark as a blood diamond, slowly condensed and took shape above the tiger's corpse.

"One hundred thousand year soul ring!"

Zhang Lexuan's breath hitched slightly.

Although she had already absorbed a 100,000-year spirit ring, this pressure was so strong that it was far greater than the eighth spirit ring she had absorbed!
Within a radius of several kilometers, whether they were weak ten-year-old soul beasts or powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, the moment they felt this pressure originating from the pinnacle of life, they were all terrified, tucked their tails between their legs, let out mournful cries, and desperately fled to a more distant place.

The area around the valley was completely cleared, leaving only Ye Chen, Zhang Lexuan, and the three-eyed golden lion peeking out from a distance.

The crimson light illuminated Zhang Lexuan's beautiful yet resolute face.

She could clearly sense the terrifying energy contained within this soul ring, that violent, ferocious yet incredibly pure source of soul power.

This is the ninth spirit ring she has always dreamed of!
"Sister, get ready to absorb it."

Ye Chen's voice rang out beside Zhang Lexuan.

Ye Chen walked over, took Zhang Lexuan's small hand in his palm and gently squeezed it, his eyes full of encouragement: "I will protect you and will not let anyone disturb you."

"Thanks……"

Zhang Lexuan turned to look at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with tears of emotion and sparkling with endless love.

However, she also knew that this was not the time to repay. Zhang Lexuan no longer hesitated, slowly walked forward, sat cross-legged in front of the huge tiger corpse, facing the blood-red soul ring floating in mid-air.

She slowly closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing, and her soul core spun rapidly in her dantian. Pure soul power flowed throughout her body, and her aura instantly became incredibly calm and focused, as if she had merged with the earth.

A powerful suction force emanated from her body, drawing the enormous blood-red soul ring slowly downwards.

Om-!
The moment the spirit ring touched Zhang Lexuan's body, a deep hum resounded.

The boundless soul power seemed to have found an outlet, surging wildly into her body!
Zhang Lexuan's body jolted violently!
Even though she was prepared and her soul core was already formed, the impact of the violent energy from the 100,000-year-old soul beast surging into her body still felt like being hit hard by an iceberg!
With a muffled groan, her face instantly turned pale, but her body remained motionless. Her soul core operated at full power, stabilizing her origin like a stabilizing needle, guiding and refining the torrent.

The crimson light completely enveloped Zhang Lexuan, forming a giant cocoon of light.

Inside the cocoon of light, powerful soul energy fluctuations rose and fell like tides, sometimes surging and sometimes deep and restrained.

Zhang Lexuan's brows furrowed and relaxed at times, clearly indicating that she was undergoing the inevitable test of absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring.

Although Zhang Lexuan has already absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring, and is now stronger than before.

However, the Dark Moon Demon Tiger's soul rings are not weak either; even Zhang Lexuan, who is level 90, would have considerable difficulty absorbing them.

Of course, it's just pressure.

It was much better than the near-death experience Zhang Lexuan had when she first absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring.

At level 80, Zhang Lexuan forcibly absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring. Although she succeeded, it caused her great trauma. Even with the help of a powerful healing soul master, she still had to lie in bed for half a year to recover.

Zhang Lexuan's survival was largely due to luck.

This time, however, Zhang Lexuan was able to forcibly absorb a 100,000-year soul ring with her powerful strength. Even though it was a bit difficult, Ye Chen believed that she could absorb it perfectly.

Ye Chen stood quietly beside the cocoon of light, spreading his spiritual energy to constantly probe the surroundings, while also checking on Zhang Lexuan's physical condition to prevent any accidents.

Time passes little by little.

The crimson cocoon of light pulsed slowly, like a giant heart.

Zhang Lexuan's aura fluctuated within the cocoon of light, yet she maintained an extremely strong resilience, remaining unmoved no matter how the cocoon ravaged her.

The valley returned to relative silence, with only the low hum of energy flowing within the cocoon of light.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, clutching the unfinished bag of spicy strips, hid behind a large rock, its large golden eyes curiously glancing at the blood-red cocoon of light one moment and then stealing glances at Ye Chen the next.

It was a little bored and dared not move, afraid of disturbing Zhang Lexuan's absorption process and angering Ye Chen.

In particular, Ye Chen's terrifying strength in suppressing the Dark Moon Demon Tiger with a single move made it feel a sense of fear.

It turns out that even without the Snow Emperor, Ye Chen himself possessed such formidable strength.

However, instead of looking for Ye Chen, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned around and walked towards the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"Hmm... what do you want to do? I've already shown you the way. Even if you don't want to keep your promise, you can't kill a beast to silence it..."

The three-eyed golden lion instinctively shrank back.

It always felt that Ye Chen's smile carried a malicious intent.

"Am I that kind of person? I promised to double your snacks, so I won't go back on my word."

Ye Chen was speechless. He grabbed the golden fur on the head of the three-eyed golden lion and rubbed it hard, turning it into chicken feathers.
