Douluo Continent, I've brought the entire Dragon King.

Chapter 45: Can the soul beasts at the Spirit Ascension Platform also drop soul bones?

After Tang Wulin finished speaking, he strode forward, Ning Rongrong quickly followed, and Zhu Zhuqing and Xie Xie were on the left and right respectively. The four of them formed a loose formation and moved quickly across the ground.

After walking for a short while, a rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes ahead.

Tang Wulin raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.

Ning Rongrong's nerves tensed up immediately, and she held up the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her hand, ready to release its amplification at any moment.

Four spirit beasts darted out of the bushes.

They are not large, each about the size of a calf, gray all over, with sharp fangs and red eyes.

They are all tusked boars less than a thousand years old.

Ning Rongrong was about to unleash the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to give Tang Wulin strength and speed.

Before the soul incantation could even be uttered, Tang Wulin had already rushed out.

His right hand was instantly covered with golden scales, and his five fingers transformed into sharp dragon claws.

The figure left a trail of afterimages in the air.

"Bang--!"

The first tusked boar was struck on the head by the dragon's claw. Its entire body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashed to the ground, twitched twice, and then lay still.

"Bang--!"

Before the second tusked boar could react, the dragon's claw had already slashed across its throat, blood spurting out, and it collapsed to the ground.

All that was left was the urge to escape.

Tang Wulin didn't stop, his figure blurred, he caught up with the third one, and the dragon claw pierced through from behind.

He grabbed the fourth one by the back of the neck, lifted it up like a chick, and then slammed it to the ground.

The four hundred-year-old soul beasts were wiped out in less than ten breaths from their appearance to their complete annihilation.

Ning Rongrong stood there, her mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.

"This...this is way too violent!"

She thought to herself, her eyes wide open.

"One claw at a time?"

Xie Xie stood to the side, hands in his pockets, looking completely unfazed.

A hint of shock flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's dark eyes.

The corpses of the four soul beasts slowly transformed into four points of light and dissipated into the air.

Then, four streams of energy surged out from the light, converged, split into four parts, and floated towards the four people.

Ning Rongrong felt a warm force surging into her body.

It's very gentle, like a cup of warm water, flowing slowly along the meridians.

"This is... spiritual power?"

Ning Rongrong thought to herself.

She closed her eyes and felt the flow of that energy.

The spiritual energy circulated within her body and then converged on her spirit ring.

Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment.

"Can I choose which spirit ring to channel my energy into?"

She could clearly sense that the spiritual energy had not automatically merged into a certain soul ring, but was floating there, waiting for her guidance.

"You can even do that?"

Ning Rongrong was overjoyed and quickly guided her spiritual power towards her first soul ring.

The moment her spiritual power merged into her soul ring, she sensed a change.

Although it is very small, it does exist.

The age limit of the first spirit ring has been increased.

"25 years of Soul Ring Age Energy —"

Ning Rongrong made a mental estimate.

"The four soul beasts, each several hundred years old, each have one-tenth of their energy divided among the four of us, giving each of us 25 years."

Her mind raced.

"Although it's not much, it adds up."

"and----"

Ning Rongrong looked down at the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her hand, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

This is a noticeable increase in strength.

Zhu Zhuqing also opened her eyes, and a faint joy appeared on her usually indifferent face.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie exchanged a glance and smiled.

"continue."

Tang Wulin said something and continued forward.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing quickly followed.

The rest of the journey went much more smoothly.

They encountered several more waves of soul beasts, mostly those that were a hundred years old, with a few small soul beasts that were a dozen years old and some lone soul beasts that were just over a thousand years old.

Tang Wulin was still at the forefront, his golden dragon claw clearing the way, punching one enemy after another with incredible ferocity.

Xie Xie followed behind, occasionally delivering a finishing blow.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were the support characters. Zhu Zhuqing, an agility-based Soul Master, couldn't offer much help at this time.

Along the way, Ning Rongrong's first spirit ring has increased to six hundred years.

Her lips have been curved in a smile from beginning to end.

Xie Xie walked beside her, glanced at her, and spoke with a smile.

"See? This is the benefit of clinging to someone powerful."

"Was it good?"

Ning Rongrong's face immediately turned red.

She hadn't expected Xie Xie to be so direct.

However—to be fair—

"It was really awesome."

Ning Rongrong muttered something under her breath, her voice barely audible.

Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, her ears turned slightly red.

Xie Xie burst into laughter.

"As long as it's enjoyable, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future if we follow the boss."

Ning Rongrong nodded, feeling very pleased with herself.

"The first spirit ring has increased from over three hundred years to six hundred years —"

"How long has it been?"

"If this continues, my first spirit ring will soon break through a thousand years."

"He started ahead of others from the very first spirit ring —"

"Then wouldn't they be far ahead?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

She seemed to have already seen her future.

The owner of a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has a higher Soul Ring configuration than a Power Attack type Soul Master.

The thought of that scene is thrilling.

But soon, her smile faded a little, because if her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda didn't evolve into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she would only ever be a seventh-ring pagoda.

Even if someone is incredibly strong, what difference does it make?

The evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is definitely not a simple matter. Ye Zhi should have a way, but... he probably won't easily tell others this method unless he can offer something of equal value in exchange.

I'll think about it myself when the time comes.

As she was thinking, Tang Wulin suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Ning Rongrong raised her head and followed his gaze.

Then, her expression changed. Not far ahead, a huge soul beast was lying.

Its body was shaped like a small mountain, covered in thick rock armor, with limbs as thick as pillars, and a pair of eyes that emitted a ghostly green light.

The horns on its head are very long, like two curved blades.

That aura was stronger than all the soul beasts they had encountered before combined.

This is a lizard-horned beast. Judging by the length of its horn, it must be about three thousand years old.

Ning Rongrong's legs felt a little weak, and Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed, her fingers clenching slightly.

Tang Wulin's expression turned serious.

"This guy—he's not easy to deal with, and... there's a three-thousand-year-old soul beast in the primary Spirit Ascension Platform?"

He turned his head and glanced at Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, buff me."

Ning Rongrong nodded quickly, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her hand lit up.

"The seven treasures have names, the first being: Strength!"

"The seven treasures are named, the second being: Speed!"

Golden light fell upon Tang Wulin.

"Wow, boss, is your luck working up again? How could there be a three-thousand-year-old soul beast in the primary Spirit Ascension Platform?"

Although Xie Xie said this, his eyes couldn't help but become serious.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath, revealed his golden dragon claw, and charged towards the lizard-horned beast.

The lizard-horned beast let out a low growl, opened its mouth wide, and a beam of earthy yellow light shot out, heading straight for Tang Wulin's face.

Tang Wulin dodged to the side, and his dragon claw slammed hard onto the lizard-horned beast's head.

"clang--!"

It sounded like hitting a metal plate, producing a metallic clanging sound.

Ning Rongrong was stunned to see that Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw, which had been almost invincible in the past, had failed to defeat the soul beast.

This lizard has incredibly strong defense!

Tang Wulin frowned. The lizard-horned beast turned its head and butted at him with its horn.

Tang Wulin quickly retreated, barely managing to avoid it.

Xie Xie charged in from the side, his Light Dragon Dagger aimed at the lizard-horned beast's eye.

The soul beast shook its head, its horn colliding with Xie Xie's dagger, sending him flying.

Zhu Zhuqing also made her move, possessing the Netherworld Cat, her sharp claws leaving sparks on the lizard-horned beast's body, but she couldn't even break through its skin.

"It's too hard—"

Zhu Zhuqing frowned deeply.

Enraged, the lizard-horned beast turned around and charged towards Ning Rongrong.

The ground trembled as the small mountain stomped on it.

Ning Rongrong tried to dodge, but the lizard-horned beast was also quite fast. Ning Rongrong couldn't outrun it on her own. Just then, Tang Wulin used his Blue Silver Grass to pull Ning Rongrong back.

Ning Rongrong took flight and escaped the lizard-horned beast's attack range.

Are you alright?

"It's okay, thank you..."

Tang Wulin didn't pay much attention to Ning Rongrong and directly used the Golden Dragon Claw to strike the lizard-horned beast once again.

"Golden Dragon Body!"

At this moment, a golden spirit ring appeared beneath Tang Wulin, and his aura suddenly surged. Ning Rongrong was stunned; she had never seen Tang Wulin use this move in the virtual space.

The lizard-horned beast's eyes were fierce as it faced Tang Wulin's attack, but it also suffered considerable pain while resisting it.

"Xie Xie! Zhu Qing! Now's the time, shoot it in the eyes!"

Xie Xie and Zhu Zhuqing attacked simultaneously, one from the left and the other from the right, their daggers and claws stabbing at the lizard-horned beast's eyes at the same time.

The lizard-horned beast cried out in pain, letting out a mournful howl as it struggled violently.

Tang Wulin seized the opportunity, his golden dragon claws gleaming brightly, and plunged fiercely into the neck of the lizard-horned beast.

The lizard-horned beast let out a final roar before slowly collapsing to the ground.

Then, it turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air.

"roar!"

A massive surge of spiritual energy erupted from the point of light, splitting into four parts that drifted toward the four people.

Ning Rongrong felt the spiritual energy surging into her body, which was more powerful than ever before.

But soon, her brows furrowed.

"No—there are too many—"

She could sense that her first and second spirit rings were already close to a thousand years old.

The mental strength still lingers, but the physical fitness can no longer keep up.

Forcing absorption may put a burden on the body.

"I—I can't absorb it anymore."

Ning Rongrong bit her lip and said with some regret.

"Me too."

Zhu Zhuqing also shook her head.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie exchanged a glance, nodded, and absorbed the excess energy.

Then, Tang Wulin lowered his head and looked at the place where the soul beast had disappeared.

There, a bone lay quietly.

It is pure white and emits a faint glow.

"This is----"

Tang Wulin bent down to pick it up and examined it from all angles.

"Soul bone?"

Ning Rongrong's pupils suddenly contracted.

"What?! A soul bone?!"

"The spirit beasts inside—they can even drop spirit bones?!"

She was completely stunned.

"This...this is outrageous!"
