Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Dragon Abyss Sword, Peerless Prodigy

After landing, Qian Xunji's expression turned slightly solemn: "This is the outermost depths, where there are mostly hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old soul beasts. Further in is the core area, where super soul beasts reside. We cannot go too far."

"Let me tell you the basics of spirit rings again: hundred-year spirit rings are all yellow, thousand-year spirit rings are purple, ten-thousand-year spirit rings are black, and one-hundred-thousand-year spirit rings are red."

"The theoretical limit for the first spirit ring is around 423 years, but your physique is extraordinary. I can help you obtain a 500-year limit spirit ring, and the color will remain yellow and will not change."

Lin Han carefully wrote it down: "Disciple understands."

He was already eager to find a dragon-type soul beast that met his expectations.

Qian Xunji said no more. A faint light appeared between his brows, and a wisp of pale golden angelic soul power spread out, sweeping across the entire area like a radar.

He was looking for someone who met Lin Han's requirements.

A dragon-type, ferocious attack, capable of armor penetration, defense reduction, and critical strikes, a soul beast with a lifespan of 500 years.

A moment later.

Qian Xunji's figure suddenly froze!

His previously calm face was instantly replaced by extreme shock and ecstasy!

"This...this aura..."

"Dragon's might! Pure and unparalleled dragon's might!"

Qian Xunji suddenly opened his eyes, staring intently at the depths of a dense forest ahead, his voice trembling slightly.

Bibi Dong was taken aback: "Teacher, what's wrong? Have you discovered a very powerful soul beast?"

Qian Xunji took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and slowly spoke, each word filled with disbelief:

"It's more than just impressive... Lin Han, this time... you've truly had incredible luck!"

"In the dense forest ahead, there is a spirit beast that is about five hundred years old, but its identity... you might not believe it!"

Lin Han's heart stirred, and he had a vague premonition.

Qian Xunji spoke slowly and deliberately, in a deep voice:

"That's... a Dark Gold Armored Beast!"

"The most elite and rarest among the sub-dragon species, infinitely close to pure-blooded dragons, with bloodline power reaching its peak. They have been extinct for nearly a hundred years, and countless soul masters have searched for them for a century without ever seeing one. Unexpectedly... we have actually encountered them!"

Lin Han's heart skipped a beat!

Dark Gold Dragon Armor Beast!

A top-tier sub-dragon species that has been extinct for a century!

Almost as close as a pure-blooded dragon!

He understood instantly.

His journey to Douluo Continent, awakening the Dragon Abyss Sword, possessing innate full soul power at level ten, receiving the blessing of his mother planet Earth, and activating the [Peerless Prodigy] talent... none of these events were coincidences.

Although the talent of [Peerless Prodigy] does not explicitly state that it increases luck, luck is something that is ethereal yet real.

He was a person favored by the world's fortune, so it was only natural that he would encounter this Dark Gold Dragon Armor Beast, which had been extinct for hundreds of years!

This is what it means to be blessed with great fortune!

Lin Han remained outwardly calm, but his heart was already burning with fighting spirit.

Just then, Qian Xunji continued speaking, his tone extremely solemn:

"Lin Han, listen to me carefully! The value of this Dark Gold Dragon Armor Beast far exceeds your imagination!"

"Although it is only about five hundred years old, it possesses bloodlines that are almost identical to those of a pure-blooded dragon, making it the pinnacle of sub-dragon species!"

"Because its bloodline is so strong, its true combat power far exceeds the five-hundred-year limit, reaching at least the level of a several-thousand-year-old soul beast!"

"Even when encountering ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, it can fight them head-on without being at a disadvantage!"

"Its spirit rings come with five major effects: ultimate dragon might, ultimate attack, armor penetration, defense penetration, and critical strike, perfectly matching your Dragon Abyss Sword spirit!"

"It's no exaggeration to say that this is the most suitable first spirit ring for you on the entire continent, bar none!"

The words fell.

A dazzling light burst forth in Lin Han's eyes!

A five-hundred-year-old soul beast with thousands of years of combat power!

He can even go toe-to-toe with a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast!

A top-tier dragon that has been extinct for a century!

This is simply a treasure sent from heaven!

Bibi Dong was stunned: "Teacher... is it that amazing? Then Junior Brother's first spirit ring must be the strongest on the entire continent?"

Qian Xunji laughed heartily: "That's right! With this Dark Gold Dragon Armor Beast's soul ring, Lin Han's starting point will directly crush all the geniuses of this era!"

"Let's go! Let's go over there!"

Qian Xunji led the two of them cautiously closer to the dense forest.

next moment.

A massive figure appeared before us!

The soul beast was over three zhang long, its entire body covered with dark golden dragon scales, the scales shimmering with a metallic cold light. Its head resembled a real dragon, its limbs were thick and powerful, its sharp claws gleamed with cold light, and its whole body exuded a wild and unparalleled dragon might!

It is indeed the Dark Gold Dragon Armor Beast!

It seemed to sense the intruders, and suddenly raised its head, its dragon eyes fixed on the three of them, letting out a deafening roar!

Roar! ! ! !

The dragon's might spread, causing the surrounding trees to rustle.

Even Qian Xunji showed a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

"Such a powerful bloodline aura! It truly is a pure, top-tier sub-dragon bloodline!"

Qian Xunji took a step forward, not to kill directly, but to gently release his Pope-level pressure, steadily suppressing the Dark Gold Dragon Armor Beast in place, making it unable to move, while preserving its complete vitality.

"Lin Han, come here."

Qian Xunji turned to look at Lin Han, his tone serious: "A Soul Master's first Soul Ring must be obtained by personally slaying a Soul Beast in order to achieve perfect harmony and the highest level of compatibility."

"I'll only suppress it; I won't kill it. The final blow is yours!"

Lin Han nodded, his eyes resolute.

He walked step by step toward the Dark Gold Dragon Armor Beast.

At this moment, he has no soul rings or soul skills; he is merely at the level of innate full soul power level ten.

But he showed no fear whatsoever.

hum! ! !

The Dragon Abyss Sword emerged in response, hovering above the palm of the hand, its golden light dazzling, its sword intent soaring to the heavens, faintly resonating with the dragon might of the Dark Gold Dragon Armor Beast, as if they were a match made in heaven!

Lin Han gripped the Dragon Abyss Sword tightly, took a light step, and charged out like a sharp sword.

There are no fancy moves.

Only the simplest, most direct, and most lethal sword strike!

With his comprehension enhanced tenfold, he immediately saw through the Dark Gold Dragon Armor Beast's weakness.

The area between the scales, below the neck where the reverse scales are located!

The sword flashes like a shooting star!

Stab it! ! !

The Dragon Abyss Sword pierced the weak point without any resistance.

The Dark Gold Dragon Armor Beast let out a mournful cry, its massive body convulsing violently a few times before it completely lost its life.

A once-extinct top-tier dragon has fallen!

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up: "Junior brother is amazing! He can hit a weak point with a single sword strike even without spirit rings!"

Qian Xunji nodded in satisfaction: "A calm demeanor, sharp insight, and fierce sword intent—this young man is destined for greatness!"

Just as the Dark Gold Dragon Armor Beast breathed its last.

A dazzling yellow century-old soul ring slowly rose and hovered above the corpse.

Five hundred years is the maximum lifespan!

The ultimate dragon bloodline!

The most perfect yellow spirit ring!

Without further hesitation, Lin Han immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.
