Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 85 Titanium Alloy Iron Turtle

Seeing the mutated scaled beast frozen solid without any resistance, Mu Yang nodded in satisfaction.

He couldn't defeat this mutated scaled beast that was over 27,000 years old, by his own abilities alone.

With a Soul Fusion Skill at hand, and the special ice flames formed by the Soul Fusion Skill being even more 'disgusting' than one's own ice flames, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to subdue a Soul Beast that is less than 30,000 years old?

Unless you're a pure-blooded dragon, a dark gold dinosaur, or a dark demon god tiger, then maybe you're a beast prodigy!

However, just when Mu Yang felt he had victory in the bag, a blue crystal glow appeared on the mutated scaled beast, which was frozen in the special ice flames spewed by the Ice Flame Dragon.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yang immediately became more vigilant.

The glow emanating from the soul beast is a sign of activating its skill. Ordinary scaled beasts are just iron turtles; apart from their strong defense and great strength, they have nothing particularly noteworthy.

However, this scaled beast with a blue crystal luster is a mutation and cannot be regarded as an ordinary scaled beast. Because of the uncertainty of mutation, it may have some kind of heaven-defying talent soul skill.

However, Mu Yang quickly lowered his guard again.

The mutated scaled beast, which was in a frozen and burning state, was constantly emitting a blue crystal glow, but no other movement was observed. In other words, this skill with unknown specific effects is a defensive type.

Well, that makes sense, since the Scaled Beast is a defensive type of Soul Beast, so it's normal for it to have multiple defensive innate Soul Skills after mutation.

Moreover, the fact that this mutated scaled beast has multiple defensive talent soul skills is a good thing, as it can most likely enhance the effect of soul ring skills.

When the martial souls and soul masters have the same soul power level, the strength of a soul skill depends not only on the age of the attached soul ring, but also on the strength of the soul ring beast.

Both are dragon-type martial souls, but when combined with a dragon-type soul ring of the same year and a mixed-blood dragon-type soul beast soul ring, without considering the compatibility between the soul ring and the martial soul, the soul skill effect formed by the former will definitely be stronger than that of the latter.

Even if the bloodline level of this mutated scaled beast has not undergone a qualitative change compared to that of an ordinary scaled beast, adding a soul ring to it can still enhance the specific effects of the soul skill to a certain extent.

A minute later, seeing the mutated scaled beast bathed in special ice flames, exactly the same as before, without any obvious signs of injury, Mu Yang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, thinking to himself that the mutated scaled beast's defensive capabilities were truly strong.

Two minutes later, Mu Yang's expression turned rather unpleasant as he became embroiled in a prolonged battle.

After a long while, realizing that more than half of his soul power had been consumed, Mu Yang's face darkened.

Judging from this situation, it seems that even exhausting all the soul power in my body won't be enough to burn this mutated scaled beast to death!

Good heavens, could this Crystal Scale Beast's innate soul skill be the type that grants immunity to damage? Like reducing attack damage by 50%, or even 60% or 70%?

It was already an iron turtle, and with the addition of a damage-reducing talent soul skill, the iron turtle evolved into a titanium alloy turtle.

"Ahem~, well, Auntie, please make a move."

Mu Yang's embarrassed voice came from the Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow beneath the Phoenix Armor.

This is outrageous! He possesses a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, yet he still can't hunt the Soul Ring Beast he needs? That's absurd!

If this mutated scaled beast hadn't been 27,000 years old and its mental strength wasn't likely weaker than his, he would have definitely used the True Illusion of the Illusionary Mystic Art to kill it through the mental level to avoid mental backlash.

However, in the Douluo Continent, it is a very common phenomenon that Soul Masters cannot defeat the Soul Ring Beasts required for their own advancement.

For example, a Soul Master with a Soul Power level of 50 would need to add a fifth Soul Ring that is 10,000 years old, according to the optimal Soul Ring configuration.

Aside from pure support and pure healing, soul beasts with a cultivation period of ten thousand years can at least reach the level of a five-ring battle soul king.

Such strength is naturally beyond the capabilities of ordinary level 50 Soul Masters.

However, Soul Masters with Martial Soul Fusion Skills are different. As long as it is a combat-oriented Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it can boost a Soul Master's strength by one or even two major levels.

In this way, Soul Masters with combat-type Martial Soul Fusion Skills don't need to worry about their strength being insufficient to hunt the Soul Ring Beasts required for advancement.

Unfortunately, a freak like Mu Yang has emerged.

At level 40, one can withstand spirit rings that even ordinary level 60 spirit masters cannot attach, and the strength of a spirit fusion skill that can increase one or two levels of spirit power is somewhat useless!

Of course, this is also because the mutated scales are abnormal. If it were a normal scaled beast of the same age, he would definitely be able to take it down easily.

"Hehe~, it's a rare thing that our family's genius can be humiliated."

Shui Yanyu said jokingly.

Mu Yang: "."

"Frostbird, possess me!"

An icy blue light emanated from her body, and a phoenix shadow flashed behind her. Shui Yanyu's martial soul was activated, and eight soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—bloomed.

This mutated scaled beast is not young, and with its strong defense, Shui Yanyu wouldn't be able to seriously injure it in one blow without using her martial soul and soul skills.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Feather of Extreme Ice!"

The next moment, Shui Yanyu's sixth soul ring shone brightly. As her powerful ice-type soul power surged, a magnificent ice-blue feather, about ten feet long, materialized in the air behind her. It then transformed into a beam of ice-blue light and shot out towards the mutated scaled beast, which was still frozen in place.

"boom--"

The magnificent feathers, transformed into streams of icy blue light, precisely struck the hindquarters of the mutated scaled beast that resembled a crocodile. Accompanied by a burst of dazzling icy blue light, a violent roar resounded, and countless fragments of flesh and blood mixed with ice shards, broken bones, and scales flew out.

As the roar subsided, Mu Yang looked around and saw that the mutated scaled beast that Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow had been unable to defeat had now shrunk from its original size of over ten meters to less than six meters long, with its lower body, including its tail, reduced to flesh and bone fragments.

To be fair, he is an eight-ring Soul Douluo, a rare expert even on the entire continent. Apart from a few super talents in the Soul Beast world, he can easily subdue a Soul Beast that is less than 30,000 years old.

Moreover, Shui Yanyu activated a single-target, high-attack sixth soul skill. Even without releasing her Martial Soul True Form and amplification soul skills, its power should not be underestimated.

Once the mutated scaled beast's sturdy crystal scales are broken, things will be much easier.

Ice Phoenix Flame Shadow couldn't do anything about the turtle covered in a titanium alloy shell, but once that titanium alloy shell was removed, the iron turtle became a soft persimmon.

The Ice Flame Dragon swooped down, spewing out a mouthful of special ice flame that spread upwards along the gap in the lower half of the mutated scaled beast's body, burning fiercely inside it.

Before long, the mutated scaled beast, which had been severely injured and was on the verge of death by Shui Yanyu's attack, reached the end of its life. Dense golden light spots spread out, and a jet-black ten-thousand-year soul ring gradually condensed.

Dispersing his Martial Soul Fusion Skill and switching to the Ice and Fire Immortal Jade Ginseng Martial Soul, Mu Yang stepped forward to guide and absorb the Soul Ring.

Meanwhile, somewhere within the inner perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Damn it!"

She Long unleashed his sixth soul skill once more, temporarily repelling the desperately fighting Radiant Winged Tiger before him, and cursed under his breath.

Glancing at Thornblood, who was also entangled by another Flaming Winged Tiger not far away, Shelong turned without turning around and said to Qian Renxue, who was protected behind him with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, "Young Master, this place is far from the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. High-age soul beasts are extremely rare here. You should retreat first!"

"Uncle Shelong, Uncle Cixue, please be careful."

Knowing that she was not strong enough to help the two, Qian Renxue didn't hesitate and decisively said something. The two pairs of angel wings behind her flapped and flew away at high speed towards the outside of the forest.

"roar--"

Seeing their son's killer flee, the two enormous Flame Winged Tigers immediately lost their nerve, roaring repeatedly, ready to abandon their fight against She Long and the other two and chase after Qian Renxue.

The two tigers wanted to hunt down Qian Renxue, but She Long and his brother naturally couldn't agree. As bodyguards, they couldn't let anything happen to Qian Renxue, otherwise they wouldn't be able to explain to the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu.

"Hmph! You beast, I've put up with you for far too long! Ninth Soul Skill, Annihilation of the Netherworld Thunder Serpent!"

With a furious roar, She Long's ninth soul ring shone brightly, and as he brandished his serpent spear, a massive black-purple serpent-shaped bolt of lightning shot out amidst surging soul power.

Without Qian Renxue as a burden, and without the need to attack where necessary, She Long was able to unleash his full power.

Because of her frequent consumption of whale gelatin, Qian Renxue's physical condition far surpasses that of ordinary soul masters of the same level. In addition, she also possesses an angel head soul bone that is 99999 years old. Whether in terms of physical condition or mental strength, she is more than capable of withstanding a sixth soul ring that is over 30,000 years old.

There are indeed 30,000-year-old soul beasts in Sunset Forest, but when advancing in Soul Hunting, one cannot only look at the age of the soul beast; the compatibility between the soul ring and the martial soul must also be considered.

The six-winged angels have the attributes of holiness and fire. It is best to hunt soul beasts that possess holiness and fire, or both light and fire attributes. Therefore, Qian Renxue brought She Long and Ci Xue from afar to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Originally, the soul-hunting mission in the Great Forest of Planet Dou was going very smoothly. Not long after the three entered the core area, they discovered a Flame Winged Tiger that was about 30,000 years old and possessed both light and fire attributes.

Without further ado, Qian Renxue had She Long cripple her, and then she finished him off.

After spending most of the day refining and absorbing, Qian Renxue's soul power level broke through the level 60 limit and directly entered the level 62 Soul Emperor.

But her joy was short-lived, as trouble soon followed.

The Radiant Winged Tiger she hunted was not an orphan tiger; its tiger parents had returned!

The tiger parents are quite powerful; although they are not 100,000-year-old beast kings, they are close to 90,000 and 80,000 years old, respectively.

With an age of 80,000 to 90,000 years, it is not much weaker than She Long and Ci Xue, who are both known as "weak chicken Douluo". In addition, there is Qian Renxue, who is a burden. The two sides have been fighting since the early morning, from the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest to the inner area, and still no winner has been decided.

Fortunately, this place is already in the inner area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, unlike the core area where high-age soul beasts frequently appear. With Qian Renxue's strength as a six-ring Soul Emperor, as long as she is not too unlucky, she can protect herself.

Therefore, She Long told Qian Renxue to retreat first, so that he and his brother could vent their anger on the two Flame Winged Tigers once they were free from worries.

She Long: I may be weak, but I'm not so weak that I can't even beat an 80,000-year-old soul beast!
