Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 64 The Fourth Soul Ring (Part 3)

Not long after Dugu Bo ran away, the 30,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear broke free from the control of the soul skill.

Seeing the familiar scene before him, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear completely lost its mind, roaring as it chased after Dugu Bo in the direction he had left. Along the way, it tore apart any trees or rocks that blocked its path. In short, anything that blocked its way was violently torn apart by it.

Having witnessed its family being captured twice by the same human Soul Master using the same methods, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was enraged and had entered a berserk state. In this state, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which was only 30,000 years old, actually unleashed a speed comparable to a Title Douluo.

Dugu Bo sensed a huge commotion behind him and thought to himself that something was wrong. "If this crazed Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear catches up and chooses to self-destruct, I might get injured too."

After Dugu Bo put down the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was wrapped in the dragon's tail, he swung the dragon's tail to knock it unconscious. Then he turned around and looked at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was chasing after him. Seeing that it was still some distance away, Dugu Bo directly used his soul skill.

"Toxic Dust Domain"

"Eighth Soul Skill: Time Freeze"

"Medusa's Gaze"

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that had been chasing them was once again controlled by Dugu Bo's eighth soul skill as soon as it stepped into the domain. Then it was hit by the petrification ray and was immediately caught in a predicament.

Dugu Bo unleashed three powerful attacks in a row, consuming a considerable amount of his soul power. He knew that his soul skills couldn't cause any real damage to the thick-skinned, incredibly defensive Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear; at most, they would only deplete its soul power and restrict its movements. So, without lingering, he quickly picked up the unconscious 10,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and ran away.

After Dugu Bo ran far away, the 30,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear finally managed to block Dugu Bo's soul skill. However, when it discovered that the human soul master had disappeared, it let out another heart-wrenching roar and continued to chase after Dugu Bo along the trail he had left.

After running far away, Dugu Bo took the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and flew into the sky, circling back to the back of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's original cave.

After chasing for a long time and finding no clues, the 30,000-year-old dark gold dinosaur bear vented its anger on the spot before slowly regaining its senses and randomly choosing a different direction from where it came from.

This time, it didn't plan to go back to its original cave. It knew it couldn't do anything to that human, and to avoid being found by him again, it decided to find a secluded place to live a peaceful life.

After finding Lin Yizhang and Zhang Fan, Dugu Bo joined them.

After putting down the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Dugu Bo deactivated his Martial Soul True Body, took a few deep breaths, and after catching his breath, he said, "This time we really angered that 30,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. If my strength hadn't increased so much, I wouldn't have been able to escape so easily. Yizhang, you should absorb the spirit ring from this 10,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear first."

Lin Yizhang nodded. He had originally planned to wait for Dugu Bo to catch another soul beast and bring it back to Zhang Fan before absorbing the soul rings together to save time.

However, Dugu Bo's physical strength and soul power have been greatly depleted, and he needs to rest. Therefore, he can only absorb the soul ring first before they go to find a soul beast for Zhang Fan. However, absorbing the soul ring will only take one or two hours, so it's not a waste of too much time.

Lin Yizhang arrived in front of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, summoned the Demon Blade Thousand Blades Martial Soul, and after injecting soul power, used the Thousand Blades Return to One technique to pierce the eye of the still unconscious Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Soon, a black soul ring condensed above the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body.

After sitting down cross-legged, Lin Yizhang immediately began absorbing the soul ring. The moment the soul ring entered his body, a pure and warm soul power surged violently into his limbs and bones. However, for Lin Yizhang now, this violent soul power could not harm him in the slightest.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yizhang's consciousness suddenly appeared in a special space. In this space, Lin Yizhang saw a dark gold dinosaur with scarlet eyes staring intently at him. The bear looked exactly like the one he had just killed.

Lin Yizhang understood that he was currently in his own spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, and what he was about to face was the soul shock unique to absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

With his powerful mental strength, Lin Yizhang and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear fought fiercely in the space of his consciousness.

After a long and fierce battle, the figure of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in Lin Yizhang's mind finally began to dissipate, turning into fragments of spiritual energy that merged into his spiritual sea. Lin Yizhang felt that his spiritual energy had suddenly increased significantly.

Outside, nearly two hours had passed, and Lin Yizhang seemed to be absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring with ease, without encountering any danger.

Dugu Bo and Zhang Fan, who were sitting to the side, originally thought that Lin Yizhang would have a very difficult time absorbing this ten-thousand-year soul ring, but seeing Lin Yizhang's relaxed expression, the two of them exclaimed inwardly, "Holy crap!"

The thought of achieving the fourth ring's ten-thousand-year duration is fraught with danger, but Lin Yizhang's physical and mental strength are sufficient to withstand the backlash from this spirit ring, which is why it seems so easy for him.

As the black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring was completely refined and integrated into his body, Lin Yizhang slowly opened his eyes.

After standing up and stretching his limbs, Lin Yizhang began to carefully observe the changes in his body.

Hmm, he's gotten a little bit more handsome.

That's right, just a tiny bit, because there's not much room for improvement. If he keeps getting any more handsome, he might get beaten up if he doesn't want to rely on his looks to make a living.

With his soul power level reaching level 42, the immense soul power of the ten-thousand-year soul ring could only increase Lin Yizhang's soul power by two levels after the second awakening of his main martial soul. This also reflects the current strength of his main martial soul.

I have obtained another amplification-type Soul Skill, "Dark Gold Transformation," which increases all attributes by 50%.

This time, the soul skill wasn't a percentage-based amplification skill like the previous ones. Lin Yizhang couldn't figure out why, and could only blame his bad luck this time.

However, Lin Yizhang secretly guessed that this might be the suppression of him by the cultivation laws of Douluo Continent. In his previous life, he had read in fantasy novels that the existence of the Heavenly Dao or the rules of the world was mentioned. Any cultivator who went too far against the heavens would be suppressed.

Although it's not a percentage-based buffing soul skill that can grow, its effect is still quite overpowered, increasing all attributes by 50%. What does that mean? It means that after using the soul skill, one version of yourself becomes 1.5 versions of yourself.

In addition to the gains mentioned above, there was another gain: the external soul bones attached to the pair of dark gold dinosaur claws evolved.

Once an external soul bone is fully fused with a soul master, it can grow along with the soul master. Now, Lin Yizhang has absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring, greatly increasing his strength. Moreover, the soul ring he absorbed was produced by a soul beast of the same origin, which caused the Dark Gold Terror Claw external soul bone to evolve from its original two thousand years of age to a five thousand-year-old soul bone.

The enormous gains Lin Yizhang received after each soul ring absorption thrilled him. This power, obtained for free from soul beasts, allowed Lin Yizhang to fully indulge his craving for free soul rings.

Lin Yizhang truly wished that the cultivation of a Soul Master had no end, so that he could continue to experience the wonderful pleasure of having a girlfriend as long as he kept cultivating.

Lin Yizhang deeply felt the deep malice of this world, or rather, the god who controls this world, towards the soul beast race. This greatly clashed with Lin Yizhang, who had been successfully influenced by the idea of ​​equality.
