Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 93 The Lion King of the Fiery Sun

Just as the three were rejoicing, a beast's roar came from afar.

As everyone looked, they saw a majestic lion appear not far away: its body was over four meters long and nearly two meters tall, with crimson fur, but its beard was a dazzling gold.

It was the color of the sun.

Moreover, the lion's beard wasn't just around its neck; it also grew along its back, extending all the way to its tail, which was extremely mystical.

"Could this be the Fiery Lion King?!"

Fire Phoenix gazed at the lion that resembled the Flaming Lion but had a golden beard, her eyes gleaming, her aura surging, and she couldn't help but ask Tang San a question.

"Yes." Tang San was also seeing such a majestic lion for the first time. "The book records that the Fiery Sun Lion King has a beard that shines like the sun, and that is the mark of the Fiery Sun Lion King."

"good!"

The Fire Phoenix released its soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black. The oppressive force of its Soul Emperor-level power caused the Fiery Lion King to flee.

But how could the speed of the Fiery Lion King be faster than that of a Soul Emperor?

Moreover, the Fire Phoenix's martial soul is the Firebird, a phoenix species, and its flying speed is faster than that of the Fiery Lion King.

Seeing that he couldn't outrun it, the Fiery Lion King stopped running and turned around to fight back. Its golden lion beard danced like flames, and its aura suddenly surged. Dozens of energy balls that looked like golden suns appeared around its body.

Surprisingly, instead of blasting outwards, these energy spheres released light at different angles, leaving the fire phoenix with no way to avoid them.

Left with no other choice, Fire Phoenix had to use its fourth soul skill to form a spherical protective shield to block the dozens of golden rays of light.

However, the light had extremely strong penetrating power, which was difficult for even a Soul Emperor to withstand.

Seeing her grandmother looking somewhat disheveled, Huo Wu immediately asked Tang San, "What level of spirit beast is that Fiery Sun Lion King? How come my grandmother couldn't defeat it immediately?"

Tang San said, "There are very few records about the Fiery Sun Lion King in the book, but two things are clear. First, the Fiery Sun Lion King's cultivation level is no more than two thousand years, because a two-thousand-year-old Fiery Sun Lion King will have a sun-like pattern on its forehead, but this one does not, only some marks. Second, according to the existing records, the Fiery Sun Lion King is extremely powerful. It can compete with a thousand-year-old beast in ten years, fight with a ten-thousand-year-old beast in a hundred years, and compete with a spirit beast of more than fifty thousand years in a thousand years."

"This is a super soul beast comparable to the Titan Ape."

"Therefore, according to the book, once the Fiery Lion King is discovered, any Soul Master with the corresponding attribute, even a Level 90 Quasi-Title Douluo, will pursue its Soul Ring, even though the Fiery Lion King is only a thousand-year-old Soul Beast."

Huo Wu became worried: "A thousand-year-old spirit beast can fight against a spirit beast that's over fifty thousand years old? Isn't my grandmother in big danger?"

"Although that's what the book says, it's unknown whether the Fiery Sun Lion King, with just over a thousand years of cultivation, can compete with a soul beast that's over fifty thousand years old, or whether it's only after nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years of cultivation that it can compete with a soul beast that's over fifty thousand years old. We can't make a precise conclusion based on just one sentence."

Tang San shook his head. "Even Soul Douluo would find it difficult to hunt down a Soul Beast that is over 50,000 years old. Your grandmother is a Soul Emperor, and she can contend with this thousand-year-old Blazing Sun Lion King and even gain the upper hand. This suggests that the latter is the case. The Blazing Sun Lion King's cultivation level may not be high enough to fight against a Soul Beast that is over 50,000 years old until it reaches 5,000 years old."

Sure enough, as time went by, the Lion King's aura gradually became unstable, and finally, the Fire Phoenix broke its limbs and dragged it in front of the Fire Dance.

"As expected of the Fiery Lion King, it is even more difficult to deal with than an ordinary 20,000-year-old soul beast."

Huo Feng, panting heavily, finished speaking and instructed Huo Wu to kill the Fiery Sun Lion King.

Huo Wu took out a dagger and plunged it into the throat of the Fiery Lion King. After its last struggle subsided, a purple soul ring emerged from its body.

Xiao Wu turned her head away, not daring to look.

When Guangling hunted the Irontooth Fish, she didn't react much, after all, that thing was a bit ugly, while this Fiery Lion King looked much more beautiful.

Although a rabbit cannot empathize with a lion, it does feel some sympathy, but it's just a case of the rabbit mourning the death of the fox.

Huo Wu releases her martial spirit and draws in her spirit rings.

In the past few days, her cultivation level has reached level 30, allowing her to absorb soul rings.

Bear!

The moment the purple spirit ring was put on, Huo Wu's martial spirit ignited, and the crimson flames gradually turned golden, even enveloping Huo Wu's entire body and forming a huge golden fireball.

"What happened?" Fire Phoenix asked, worried about Fire Dance's safety. "No one has ever experienced anything like this when absorbing a soul ring before."

"Don't worry, Senior Fire Phoenix, this should just be the transformation process of your Martial Soul," Tang San comforted her. "Although the Blazing Sun Lion King is a super Soul Beast, it's only a little over a thousand years old. Moreover, its attributes are compatible with Sister Huo Wu's Hokage, making absorption easier. Besides, I think Sister Huo Wu must have already consumed thousand-year-old whale jelly, right?"

"That's true." Fire Phoenix was slightly relieved. After the method of using whale glue and its value were announced, the Fire family naturally began to collect it in large quantities, but it was too late.

She estimated that there wouldn't be many people with the second ring of a thousand years in the future, since whale glue was not available on the market to begin with, and most of it had already been acquired by the Spirit Hall.

As for hunting whales in the ocean... even a titled Douluo wouldn't dare say they have a 100% guarantee.

In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed.

As darkness fell, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, Huo Feng, and the others could only set up tents to prepare for the night.

As for the specific testing of Guangling, since Huofeng is present, it is not advisable to conduct it immediately. We can only wait until he breaks through level 30 and obtains the soul ring of the Sun and Moon Grass before going back to conduct more precise measurements.

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning.

Huo Wu had just finished absorbing the spirit ring when the golden fireball dissipated, revealing the girl's perfect body.

At this moment, Huo Wu's body was as smooth as jade. All her clothes had been burned in the flames, and her reddish-brown hair had turned completely crimson, covering her three points.

"Where are my clothes? No, where is my soul tool?" Huo Wu stood up and immediately felt a chill all over her body. She immediately squatted down and covered her private parts.

Huo Feng immediately took out clothes from her storage soul tool and had Huo Wu put them on. She then looked back at Tang San, who had turned away, and said, "Don't be shy. He's only eight years old; he's just a child."

"Grandma, do you even believe what you're saying?" Huo Wu quickly put on her pants and long sleeves, looking at her grandmother with a hint of speechlessness, and said to Tang San, "Alright, I'm dressed."

Tang San looked at Huo Wu, who seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, and asked, "How is it? Has your martial soul changed?"

Huo Wu was also curious about the state of her martial soul, so she released it—

A figure appeared with a face almost identical to Huo Wu's, and a body that was exactly the same, except that there was a peculiar pattern on the chest that looked like a sun, releasing crimson flames that obscured the perfect, delicate body.

More importantly, her long, reddish-gold hair danced like flames, making her resemble a goddess who controlled the sun…

For the specific image, refer to the martial spirit image of Huo Wu in the comic version.
