Douluo Continent: Conflict descends, gods are slain and gods ascend!

Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue, who were far away, attacked together. Their ice-attribute soul skills froze the Iron-Maned Bull's body to the ground.

Upon landing, Yun Chen naturally wouldn't let this excellent opportunity slip by, immediately closing in and throwing a punch at the Iron-Maned Bull's body. The punch was powerful and heavy, but it didn't cause much damage to the Iron-Maned Bull. The defensive capabilities of this kind of spirit beast were truly impressive.

Yun Chen didn't plan to press his advantage; instead, he opted for a hit-and-run tactic. Facing soul beasts on the Spirit Ascension Platform, recklessness would only lead to certain death. Yun Chen knew very well that he wasn't a genius, didn't have any powerful cheat codes, and wasn't a chosen one like Tang Wulin. He could only slowly accumulate his strength through cultivation, hoping to one day achieve a qualitative leap in the future.

Just as Yun Chen stepped back, the Iron-Maned Bull broke free of the ice and stood up. It exhaled heavily from its nostrils, and the anger burning in its eyes deepened.

The Iron-Maned Bull charged towards Yun Chen, who was closest to it. In that instant, wind elemental energy was channeled into Yun Chen, instantly increasing his speed. Previously struggling to dodge, Yun Chen, now enhanced, barely avoided the charge.

At the same time, his second spirit ring flickered beneath his feet, and a second layer of amplification was applied to him.

Yun Chen's first soul skill, Blood Rage, increases all his attributes by 50%. His second soul skill, Boiling Blood, is also an amplification-type soul skill. However, compared to the first soul skill, the second soul skill's amplification level is even higher, reaching 70%!

Yun Chen activated his second soul skill, instantly boosting his aura. He charged towards the Iron-Maned Bull that was turning around, his body coiled up as he rammed into one of the bull's legs.

With Yun Chen's current strength, it would be difficult to budge the massive body of the Iron-Maned Bull. However, he could still manage to budge one of its legs.

The Iron-Maned Bull staggered and fell to the ground as its hind legs were struck. At that moment, Yun Chen had already passed under its body, his right palm surging with blood energy, and a long spear was slowly taking shape.

The moment the Ironfur Bull fell, ice spikes, fireballs, and wind blades struck its body relentlessly. Unlike physical attacks, this pure energy assault caused the Ironfur Bull to howl in agony.

Just as Gu Yue's attack ended, Xu Xiaoyan's ice wheel descended. Although her ice wheel only held the Iron-Maned Bull in place for a brief moment due to its struggles, Yun Chen seized the opportunity in that instant and thrust his spear fiercely into the Iron-Maned Bull's eyes.

"Moo!!!"

A bloodcurdling roar of extreme pain erupted from the Iron-Maned Bull's mouth, leaving Yun Chen, who was standing nearby, somewhat dizzy. But he gritted his teeth, gripped the spear tightly, and thrust it downwards with all his might!

The next moment, blood spurted from the Iron-Maned Bull's eyes, splattering all over Yun Chen. The Iron-Maned Bull's massive body trembled a few times before dissipating into pure energy.

"call!"

Having dealt with the Iron-Maned Bull, Yun Chen let out a long breath. He truly had no good way to deal with such a tough-skinned soul beast. Fortunately, he was almost level 30, and in his plan, he would obtain an offensive soul skill from the Bloodrage Lion-Tiger at level 30. With the amplification of the first two soul skills, the power of the third soul skill would be extremely strong.

Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue approached Yun Chen's side, about to say something, when heavy footsteps reached their ears. Their earlier battle with the Iron-Maned Bull had made them overlook the surrounding threats. But the moment the battle ended, danger had found them.

The moment the three saw the spirit beast, Gu Yue immediately named it: "Earth-Splitting Demon Lizard, possessing immense strength and top-tier defense!"

The brief introduction, however, highlighted the terrifying nature of the beast before them. While not as large as the Iron-Maned Bull, its combat prowess far surpassed it. Moreover, the Earth-Splitting Demon Lizard they had encountered was a thousand-year-old creature, whereas the Iron-Maned Bull they had just encountered was only a hundred years old.

Just as the Earth-Splitting Demon Lizard roared and prepared to attack, Yun Chen and the other two suddenly felt a lightness in their bodies. The next moment, everything went black before their eyes, and their consciousness had left the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Xu's mother and Leng Yaozhu were watching them closely. Although this journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform was a trial and a test for Yun Chen and the other two, Xu's mother and Leng Yaozhu were not the kind of people who would disregard their safety in order to force them to unleash their potential. So when they encountered the thousand-year-old soul beast, they immediately had the staff pull them out of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Back outside, Yun Chen saw Xu Xiaoyan sitting pale-faced in the metal cabinet beside him, and Xu's mother looking at them with concern. Yun Chen stood up, helped Xu Xiaoyan up, and said to Xu's mother, "Auntie, let's go back."

Xu's mother nodded. She was about to take her two children home when she was stopped by the staff of the Spirit Pagoda.

"Madam Xu, I apologize for taking up your time. Our Deputy Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda wishes to see the two children. Would you mind if we moved a little further?" the staff member asked respectfully.

Upon hearing his words, a look of doubt appeared on Xu's mother's face. The deputy tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower? Even in a place like Donghai City, such a person would be a very important figure. Moreover, in Xu's mother's mind, this so-called deputy tower master was the deputy tower master of the Donghai Spirit Transmission Tower, not Leng Yaozhu.

However, at this moment, Xu's mother was more worried about Xu Xiaoyan's condition, so she was about to refuse. But the staff member seemed to have already seen through Xu's mother's worries and spoke up first, "We have also arranged the most comprehensive examination for this young girl to ensure that she is safe and sound."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu abandoned her intention to refuse. She nodded gently: "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."

Led by the staff, the three arrived at a reception room in the Spirit Pagoda. When they saw the woman sitting inside, Xu's mother was stunned.

Someone like Leng Yaozhu has a considerable profile within the Federation. As prominent figures in Donghai's political arena, the Xu family naturally recognized her. However, Xu's mother never expected to see Leng Yaozhu in person here.

"Take this little girl for a check-up first, and prepare some nutritional fluids for her." Leng Yaozhu first instructed the staff on how to handle Xu Xiaoyan's condition, and then looked at Xu's mother and said, "If Madam Xu is worried, you can come along to take a look."
