Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

Chapter 108 Soul Bone Explosion

Around 18,000 years, less than 20,000 years.

This was the answer Su Mo got from Bibi Dong. It was much higher than the maximum age limit of a Soul Ring that a normal Soul King could absorb, but it still didn't reach the limit that a Soul Emperor could absorb.

It is significantly better than Tang San's fourth spirit ring in the original story.

The next day, Su Mo accompanied Ning Rongrong back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After informing Ning Fengzhi of the good news about his and Ning Rongrong's breakthrough, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo accompanied Su Mo to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt for Soul Rings.

This time, Su Mo didn't hunt for spirit rings on his own. Looking back, his decision to enter Sunset Forest alone last time was still very dangerous.

Even with Bibi Dong acting as his vision spirit, Su Mo was attacked by soul beasts that were over ten thousand years old, but in the end, Su Mo was unharmed.

But what if he couldn't escape in a short time and encountered other ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, or even if the cave spider that attacked Su Mo was a soul beast that was tens of thousands or even fifty thousand years old...

In short, Su Mo plans to enjoy the privilege of being led by a Title Douluo to hunt for spirit rings this time, instead of going on adventures on his own.

Ning Rongrong's spirit rings were relatively easy to obtain because the spirit rings and spirit skills of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda were fixed; she only needed to find a spirit beast with a suitable age.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong quickly completed the absorption of her fourth spirit ring, a 5000-year purple spirit ring.

Like other Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial souls, the fourth soul skill grants a defense boost.

"Eighteen thousand years? Su Mo, are you sure you want to find a soul beast with such a high cultivation level?"

After resolving Ning Rongrong's spirit ring issue, Sword Douluo couldn't help but ask Su Mo another question.

After all, in Sword Douluo's opinion, if Su Mo could absorb a ten-thousand-year quality soul ring, he would already be a whole level above others. Isn't eighteen thousand years a bit too high?

He was worried that Su Mo wouldn't be able to handle it!

"Grandpa Jian, it's okay, my current physical condition can handle it!"

Upon hearing Sword Douluo's words, Su Mo quickly reassured him.

On this point, he could still trust Bibi Dong.

He felt it was about the same, or even a little higher, around 19,000 years. It seems that Bibi Dong had already lowered the figure slightly to ensure that Su Mo could handle it.

"Since you're so confident, then Old Bones and I will do our best to find you a suitable soul beast!"

Seeing Su Mo's confidence, Sword Douluo was no longer worried.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo then helped Su Mo find suitable soul beasts in the Soul Beast Forest.

Su Mo didn't want any fancy abilities for his fourth spirit ring; he just wanted something that could increase his attack power.

Su Mo's first martial soul pursues the ultimate destructive power.

It would be ideal if it could possess both extreme destructive power and decent speed.

Fortunately, Su Mo's second and third soul skills both provided him with a significant speed boost.

Even with the help of two Title Douluos, Su Mo only found a suitable soul beast three days later.

A golden lion-tiger with 16,000 years of cultivation is both a metal-attribute soul beast and a soul beast with strong attack power, which is very suitable for Su Mo.

The only drawback is that his cultivation period is a little too short.

"This golden lion-tiger will do; sixteen thousand years is more than enough for me!"

Su Mo quickly made a decision and chose the golden lion-tiger.

The most important thing is that it suits you!

Finding one with the right attributes and age isn't easy!

Soul beasts that are over 10,000 years old are inherently harder to find, unlike those that are 1,000 or 100 years old, which are more numerous and can be selected slowly.

"Alright, Su Mo, wait a moment, I'll take it down right away!"

Sword Douluo was even more pleased upon hearing this and prepared to help Su Mo capture the golden lion-tiger.

Because 16,000 years is 2,000 years less than 18,000 years, he felt more at ease.

"Grandpa Sword, wait a minute! I'll handle this golden lion-tiger myself!"

"Rongrong can help me!"

Seeing that Sword Douluo was about to make a move, Su Mo quickly spoke up.

"Haha, alright then, you can do it yourself!"

Sword Douluo did not object upon hearing this. He might not have been at ease if Su Mo were to face the golden lion-tiger alone, but with Ning Rongrong by his side, there would be no problem.

He knew Su Mo's fighting strength.

"Well then, we'll have to trouble you two grandfathers to cover for us!"

Su Mo nodded, then looked at Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong naturally wouldn't object; on the contrary, she looked eager to try.

Finally, with the support of two Title Douluo, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, Su Mo and Ning Rongrong unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Nine Treasures Soul Hunting Spear. After entering their combined state, they charged towards the golden lion-tiger.

After Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved, the two's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was not affected and could not be used. It was just that the Martial Soul Fusion Skill changed from the original Seven Treasure Soul Hunting Spear to the Nine Treasure Soul Hunting Spear.

While under the Martial Soul Fusion Skill state, the boost gained remains unchanged, but the Nine Treasures Soul Hunting Spear itself is significantly enhanced, becoming more lethal.

"First Soul Skill: Penetration!"

"Third Soul Skill: Soul-Chasing Blade!"

Faced with a soul beast with over ten thousand years of cultivation, Su Mo naturally took the lead in the combined state.

Su Mo didn't fire a few Soul-Hunting Crossbow shots at the Golden Lion Tiger from a distance first.

Dealing with this golden lion-tiger was just a practice session, so it wasn't necessary.

With his first move, Su Mo launched a Soul-Chasing Blade attack, a two-meter-long spear blade slashing towards his opponent.

"roar--"

Upon sensing Su Mo's approach, the golden lion-tiger roared, and a strong golden light emanated from its body, blocking Su Mo's third soul skill.

However, blocking is useless against the Soul Tracking effect of Su Mo's third soul skill unless you dodge it, so the Soul Tracking mark of Su Mo's third soul skill was still successfully engraved on the Golden Lion Tiger.

Then, Su Mo brandished the Nine Treasures Soul-Hunting Spear and charged towards the opponent.

bump--

Su Mo quickly engaged in battle with the golden lion-tiger, attacking it and constantly producing metallic clanging sounds. The golden lion-tiger, with its metallic fur, was also quite defensive.

Unfortunately, it was facing the Nine Treasures Soul-Hunting Spear in its combined state with the Purple Gold Spear Soul Weapon, and its golden fur defense was no match for it.

If Su Mo didn't use the Purple Gold Spear, this Golden Lion-Tiger could still contend with Su Mo and Ning Rongrong under the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

puff--

Faced with Su Mo's attack, wounds began to appear on the golden lion-tiger's body, and blood gradually stained its golden fur.

"roar--"

Realizing that he was no match for the weak little girl, the golden lion-tiger roared repeatedly, but a hint of retreat appeared in its eyes.

"roar--"

Then the golden lion-tiger suddenly roared, and a wave of sound rushed towards Su Mo, leaving Su Mo stunned for a second or two.

sigh~

When Su Mo came to her senses, she saw that the golden lion-tiger had already turned and run away.

"Trying to run? No way!"

"Second Soul Skill: Thunder Strike!"

boom--

Seeing this, Su Mo immediately unleashed his full second soul skill. While the Soul Chasing effect was still active, he unleashed several times the instantaneous burst speed, catching up with the golden lion-tiger almost instantly.

puff--

Then, Su Mo thrust the Nine Treasures Soul-Hunting Spear in his hand straight into the back of the Golden Lion-Tiger.

"Awooo—"

It's unclear how much pain the injury caused, but it made the golden lion-tiger let out such a miserable scream.

puff--

As soon as Su Mo drew his spear, the three-meter-tall golden lion-tiger collapsed to the ground with a thud.

hum-

Then a black spirit ring appeared on the opponent's corpse.

hum-

Along with it appeared a soul bone that radiated golden light.
