Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 29: Run Over by a Truck (Tragic)

The terrifying energy fluctuations rose steadily, and the Blood Erosion Dragon Lizard, realizing something was wrong, instinctively stopped, giving Zhang Lexuan the opportunity to create distance.

Sensing the energy fluctuations behind her, she instantly caught up with Huo Yuhao, scooped him into her arms, and charged forward at full speed.

Huo Yuhao, who was still desperately trying to escape, suddenly felt a soft mass coming from behind him, and a feeling of being run over by a large vehicle welled up in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, the scenery on both sides rushed past, and with Zhang Lexuan's help, his forward speed increased several times over.

A second later, a loud roar erupted behind him. The Blood-Eating Dragon Lizard's shrill roar seemed to shatter one's eardrums. Huo Yuhao, whose mental energy was already somewhat depleted, felt a blackout before his eyes and could no longer maintain his mental detection.

Fortunately, Zhang Lexuan pulled him away in time, preventing him from getting hurt.

However, after the explosion, the battle was nearing its end, and his mental detection was no longer needed.

Zhang Lexuan turned around, and the pitiful appearance of the Blood-Corroded Dragon Lizard came into view.

The explosion completely ripped open the long, narrow wound on its abdomen, spilling out a large amount of internal organs. However, even with such severe injuries, the Blood-Eating Dragon Lizard did not die. Instead, it lay on the ground howling in pain, demonstrating just how terrifying its vitality was.

Of course, this is also because the soul-guided bombs Huo Yuhao made were all made of level two or three soul-guided devices, and their power was not very strong. In fact, if we really compare them, they might not even be as powerful as Zhang Lexuan's sixth soul skill. If it hadn't exploded right at the wound, it would have been unknown whether it could have broken through the opponent's scale armor defense.

Although it wasn't dead yet, judging from the Blood-Eating Dragon Lizard's desperate struggles and inability to get up, it was clear that it had no power to resist.

Zhang Lexuan clearly hated the creature that had almost wiped out their team. Her sixth spirit ring lit up again, and a terrifying beam of light pierced through the Blood Erosion Dragon Lizard's head, finally ending its life.

As Huo Yuhao watched the crimson soul ring slowly emerge from the corpse of the Blood-Eroding Dragon Lizard, a thought struck him. He then remembered that he seemed to have heard Elder Xuan mention this matter in his previous life.

— Twelve inner court disciples were separated from their teacher and encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast. In the end, only four survived.

Although he saw that there were twelve people on the other side last night, he did not think about it in this way. After all, who would have thought that he would witness an event that seemed like a story? Recalling Zhang Lexuan's eighth soul ring of 100,000 years, he was about to say something when he found himself still being held in Zhang Lexuan's arms.

Although he had been eating well these past two years and his body had become noticeably stronger, Huo Yuhao was still still a child. At this moment, he was being held in the arms of the tall Zhang Lexuan like a cushion, his feet barely touching the ground.

A strange sense of shame welled up in Huo Yuhao's heart, and his lips twitched slightly, but he was too embarrassed to struggle.

How embarrassing!

Whether it was due to his anger or because the speed he had just unleashed was Zhang Lexuan's limit, Huo Yuhao felt two rather large headlights behind his head heaving violently, and a faint fragrance entered his nostrils.

Finally, after a fruitless struggle, Huo Yuhao gave up.

He felt like a lab rat trapped by a python, struggling in vain.

"Um, Sister Lexuan, you can let me go now."

"Huh? Oh, oh." Zhang Lexuan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she realized that Huo Yuhao was being held tightly by her right hand. She quickly let go of him and spoke in a solemn tone.

"Yuhao, thank you so much this time."

Without Huo Yuhao's help, they would have had to sacrifice at least one more inner court disciple, and that would have been entirely dependent on her final sixth soul skill hitting the target. If it had failed, everyone else, including her, would have died.

"It's okay, I'll do my best."

Before Huo Yuhao could finish speaking, the remaining five inner court disciples arrived. When they saw the Blood-Eating Dragon Lizard's corpse, their eyes widened in surprise.

"Senior Zhang, how did you do that?"

Just as Zhang Lexuan was about to speak, she suddenly saw Huo Yuhao shake his head slightly at her. Understanding the implication, she did not reveal the other party's third eye and purple soul ring.

Listening to the whole process, it sounded like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, and the team members were full of relief. Only Zhang Lexuan vaguely sensed where this luck came from.

Recalling Huo Yuhao's golden vertical eye, she subconsciously shuddered.

Is that his martial spirit?

Why does he have such a peculiar ability?

Seeing that the crisis had been averted, one of the inner disciples glanced at the corpse of the Blood-Eroding Dragon Lizard again, his voice trembling with excitement as he swallowed.

"Now that the Blood-Eating Dragon Lizard is dead, Senior Zhang, hurry up and absorb the spirit ring!"

Upon hearing this, the others looked at the crimson soul ring above the Blood Erosion Dragon Lizard, and their breathing became somewhat rapid.

This is a 100,000-year-old spirit ring!

It's not just about spirit rings. You have to know that a 100,000-year-old spirit beast is bound to produce a spirit bone. Although the process of obtaining it is extremely brutal, this generous reward makes up for it somewhat.

Huo Yuhao stood silently to the side. While several inner court disciples were staring at the 100,000-year soul ring, the unlocking progress of the source of greed in his spiritual space was also rapidly increasing.

The inner court disciples in front of me are all Soul Emperors, and the greed energy they provide is considerable. In addition, with the eighth-level half-soul mentor from the Heavenly Soul Empire providing it, the dark golden greed origin will probably be fully unlocked soon.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted by a 100,000-year-old soul ring. Although he sensed greed from them, the source of jealousy in Huo Yuhao's spiritual space showed no signs of increasing.

This surprised Huo Yuhao somewhat.

The fact that this happened proves that although these inner court disciples also wanted the 100,000-year soul ring, they did not object to Zhang Lexuan obtaining it.

Judging from her previous titles, Zhang Lexuan was clearly not yet the senior sister of the inner courtyard. Her high prestige was enough to prove that she was very popular.

"Will there be any problems if I absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring as my eighth spirit ring?"

Another student asked with some concern. After regaining their senses, they naturally knew that the only one who could possibly absorb this spirit ring was Zhang Lexuan. Others, let alone not being at the level to obtain a spirit ring, wouldn't dare to do so even if they were.

"A 100,000-year-old soul bone is of great help to one's physique. You can absorb the soul bone first and then try it out."

Hearing the discussions around her, Zhang Lexuan remained silent. Instead, she subconsciously looked at Huo Yuhao. Everyone had contributed to this effort, and it was neither reasonable nor ethical for her to take all the credit for herself.

Other students could wait until they returned to the academy to receive compensation, but Huo Yuhao was different; she didn't have enough to give him right now.

Noticing Zhang Lexuan's gaze, Huo Yuhao smiled.

"Sister Lexuan contributed the most, so the soul ring and soul bone naturally belong to you. If possible, give me the Blood-Eroded Dragon Lizard's corpse."

The Blood-Eating Dragon Lizard's attributes weren't suitable for him, so he naturally wasn't very interested. Besides, he was only at the first level of the Soul Ring, and his lifespan had only just passed a thousand years. Only someone who didn't value their life would try to absorb a 100,000-year Soul Ring.

However, the corpse is different. The flesh of the 100,000-year-old Blood-Corroded Dragon Lizard contains a vast amount of energy and is very filling. Through the absorption of the Gluttony Source, it should be able to help him accelerate his cultivation speed considerably.

With a body length of ten meters, it would be enough to eat as a snack for several years.
