The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Her third spirit ring was also lit up, and she pressed both hands down on the Earth King beneath her.

Completely suppressed by Zhang Lexuan, the Earth King had no time to spare for Wu Ming.

The flames burning around Wu Ming's body then adhered to the Earth King's body. Immediately afterwards, a violent roar accompanied by a scorching wave of air struck, and the Golden Crow True Fire clinging to the Earth King's thick carapace was instantly ignited.

This is the powerful combination of Wu Ming's second soul skill, Golden Crow True Fire Burning, and his third soul skill, Golden Crow True Fire Explosion.

The aura emanating from the King of Earth weakened considerably once again.

Its strength is indeed comparable to that of a Contra-level powerhouse, but it also depends on who its opponent is.

As the senior sister of Shrek Academy's inner court, how could Zhang Lexuan possibly be compared to an ordinary Soul Douluo?

With a 100,000-year-old soul ring, her combat power is comparable to that of a Title Douluo.

If she were alone and without any scruples, it would be questionable whether this Earth King could even last ten minutes.

And it was at this moment that Xu Zihuang made his move once again.

A strange, brilliant golden halo enveloped the entire area. The Earth King, who had finally gotten a chance to catch his breath and was gathering his soul power to launch a counterattack, was strangely a beat slower than usual.

Zhang Lexuan naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.

The sixth soul ring on her body suddenly lit up, and that black soul ring instantly lifted into the sky and merged into the full moon.

The full moon changed; the originally silvery-white round moon suddenly became dim, and then turned completely black, with only a silver halo around its outermost edge.

Immediately, a silver halo descended from the sky.

A flash of black light landed on the Earth King, who was being interfered with by Xu Zihuang's third soul skill, Time Distortion.

The Earth King's body instantly stiffened. A beam of moonlight shone straight down from the sky, suddenly enveloping its body.

The next moment, amidst a terrifying explosion, the Earth King was blown over, revealing its charred abdomen.

On its abdomen, a massive, penetrating wound nearly half a meter in diameter had completely pierced its body. Even more horrifying, its entire dark blue armor had turned silver and was melting at an alarming rate.

Zhang Lexuan gave a clear shout.

"Ming'er".

Wu Ming understood immediately and flapped his golden-red fiery wings, swooping down.

Her first spirit ring shone brightly, and a golden-red pillar of fire erupted from her palm, surging into the massive wound on the Earth King's abdomen, completely extinguishing his life force.

Points of black light gathered above the corpse of the Earth King, eventually forming a deep black soul ring.

An oppressive surge of soul power emanated from it, bringing waves of menacing aura.

This king of the earth, who was considered a powerful force even in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, perished.

Chapter 134 The Right Arm Bone of the Earth King of 45,000 Years and His Departure from the Star Dou Great Forest

After witnessing the death of the King of the Earth, everyone's tense nerves relaxed considerably.

When they turned their attention back to Xu Zihuang, he was already sitting cross-legged on the ground, having entered a meditative state.

Although they were amazed by Xu Zihuang's first soul skill, which had an effect that was almost heaven-defying, and his fourth soul skill, which was incredibly powerful, now was clearly not the time to care about these things.

In fact, if Xu Zihuang didn't want to bring it up, they wouldn't ask too many questions.

Even Wu Ming, who is usually very easygoing, only asked Xu Zihuang to confirm whether his third soul skill was a time-attribute soul skill.

Because the effects of soul skills are absolutely forbidden for any soul master.

Wu Ming looked at Zhang Lexuan and sighed with regret, "Senior Sister, with Tianhuang's talent, I feel like he'll leave me behind in less than ten years. He's a freak. I don't know how he's cultivated since he was a child."

This was the first time in her life that she, who had always been proud, had been impressed by a junior who was more than ten years younger than her.

"A little pressure is a good thing. Pressure is what drives progress." Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly, then changed the subject and said seriously.

"Ming'er, are you sure you want to absorb the spirit ring of this Earth King? With your physical abilities, absorbing a spirit ring of about 50,000 years shouldn't be a problem. This Earth King's cultivation level is still a bit low. If you're not satisfied, there's no need to force yourself. It concerns your future, so you should think it over carefully."

The seventh spirit ring that a typical Soul Saint can absorb is usually between 30,000 and 50,000 years old. Wu Ming comes from the inner court of Shrek Academy, possesses a powerful martial spirit, and has a profound foundation, so a spirit ring of around 50,000 years old would be most suitable for him.

It is close to the limit of what she can bear, and there is basically no great risk in the process of absorption.

Wu Ming hesitated for a moment, but then readily nodded.

“Senior Sister, the ninth tailbone of this Earth King is almost fully grown, and its cultivation level is very close to 45,000 years. Moreover, the Earth King race itself is very powerful, and I am already very satisfied. Obtaining a spirit ring is all about luck. Who can guarantee that I will encounter a spirit beast that is more suitable for me next time? I have decided to absorb its spirit ring.”

She takes it all in stride.

"Since that's the case, let's not delay. Ming'er, you should hurry up and absorb the soul ring now." Since Wu Ming had said so, Zhang Lexuan didn't say anything more.

Then, Wu Ming excitedly began fusing her seventh soul ring.

Obtaining a Soul Ring and advancing to the next title is a joyous occasion for any Soul Master.

Despite having Elder Xuan secretly following her, Zhang Lexuan dared not relax for a moment in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Fortunately, she hadn't expended much of her soul power, so she took a few steps forward and stood beside Xu Zihuang.

Chu Qingtian and Ye Liu continued to follow Zhang Lexuan's instructions, focusing their attention on being vigilant about their surroundings. Both of their martial spirits excelled in speed, allowing them to react quickly if they detected anything amiss.

In almost every team that hunts spirit beasts, agility-type spirit masters play this role.

Because Xu Zihuang possesses an ultimate martial soul, the quality and quantity of his soul power far surpass those of ordinary soul masters. However, it will also take him more time to fully restore the nearly depleted soul power in his body.

This doesn't mean his soul power recovery is slow. As someone with innate full soul power, his meridians are incredibly clear; it's just that the quality and total amount of his soul power are too high, which causes this situation.

Moreover, once he possesses a soul core capable of rapidly restoring soul power, this problem will be easily solved.

There are advantages to being in the core area. This place mostly belongs to the territory of the Earth King, and no other soul beasts have come here for a short time after that guy died.

An hour later, Xu Zihuang finished his cultivation and returned to his peak condition.

As the sun began to set, the temperature in the Starry Sky Forest seemed to drop considerably, especially in the core area where the vegetation was exceptionally lush.

A ray of golden sunlight shone through the gaps in the tree canopy, falling perfectly on Zhang Lexuan's beautiful face, complementing her serene smile like a scene from a painting.

A pair of clear, bright eyes looked at Xu Zihuang, her gaze sparkling and graceful.

"Tianhuang, may I ask you a question?"

"Senior Sister, please ask." Xu Zihuang smiled gently.

Zhang Lexuan pondered and said, "Your first soul skill was probably a kind of group debuff removal skill, right? This soul skill of yours can't remove the negative effects brought by the martial soul?"

Xu Zihuang's mind stirred slightly, and he instantly thought of Ma Xiaotao, who was troubled by the evil fire.

Zhang Lexuan's question now is undoubtedly about Ma Xiaotao.

He had already anticipated this development when he revealed his first soul skill.

If his intuition was correct, his first soul skill did indeed have some effect on Ma Xiaotao's problem of evil fire. It might not completely solve it, but it should be able to suppress it for the time being.

Zhang Lexuan's question provided him with a perfect opportunity to get to know Ma Xiaotao. Ma Xiaotao's talent was comparable to Zhang Lexuan's. If it weren't for the problem with her evil fire, she probably would have reached the level 70 bottleneck before she turned twenty.

He wanted to build connections within the inner courtyard, and Ma Xiaotao was definitely not someone he could let slip by.

Confident in his abilities, he deliberately feigned a frown and deep thought.

"Senior Sister, I can't be sure. After all, I haven't tried it myself. Could it be that some senior from the Inner Court suffered a backlash from their Martial Soul? If you need me, I'm willing to try my best."

"Well, there's no rush for now. Let's talk about it when we get back to the academy." Zhang Lexuan glanced at Xu Zihuang with satisfaction, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

Her initiative to lead everyone to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest was surely motivated by a desire to assess Xu Zihuang.

As it turns out, this junior student has no problems in terms of talent, ability, temperament, or character.

Ye Liu and Chu Qingtian, who were keeping watch on both sides, couldn't help but frequently glance in the direction of Xu Zihuang and Zhang Lexuan.

The two exchanged a glance and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

As the senior disciple of the inner court, Zhang Lexuan was kind to every student in the inner court, but they always felt that Zhang Lexuan seemed to have a special closeness to Yu Tianhuang.

During Wu Ming's absorption of the spirit ring, the effects of attribute and spirit suppression became apparent.

Wu Ming was supposed to advance to Soul Saint by absorbing a Soul Ring that was nearly 45,000 years old, but because her Golden Crow Martial Soul's fire attribute was stronger than that of the Earth King, and her flying-type Martial Soul was also able to suppress the Earth King's rebellious intent throughout the entire process.

His breathing was incredibly steady, and he didn't even experience the slightest pain.

The fusion was completed in just two hours.

Two yellow, two purple, and three black spirit rings—seven rings in total—pulled at the same rhythmic frequency. His slowly opening eyes seemed to hold two burning golden-red flames, exuding an imposing aura.

Zhang Lexuan looked at Wu Ming, smiled and nodded, saying, "Congratulations, Ming'er."

"Congratulations on officially advancing to Soul Saint, Senior Sister Wu. It seems that this Earth King's Soul Ring is quite suitable for you." Xu Zihuang also congratulated Wu Ming.

Wu Ming stretched her body in a pleasant mood.

"Senior Sister, Tianhuang, I won't say much more in thanks. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."

Oh no, I'm afraid I'll have to live in Wu's shadow forever from now on.

Although Chu Qingtian and Ye Liu were inwardly groaning, they dared not show it on their faces. Both of them flashed Wu Ming an incredibly bright smile.

Just as Wu Ming put away his martial spirit, Xu Zihuang and Zhang Lexuan looked at the giant right claw of the Earth King at the same time.

Wu Ming, who was facing the two of them, naturally noticed their unusual behavior.

With questions swirling in her mind, she instinctively turned around to look at the two men, and her expression instantly froze.

As a senior disciple of the inner court, she naturally understood what this meant.

Previously, due to the influence of Wu Ming's martial spirit and soul power aura, no one had noticed it. Now, the strange soul power fluctuations emanating from the giant claw with its cracked shell were completely exposed to everyone's perception.

Even Chu Qingtian and Ye Liu, who were relatively far away, could sense it.

Zhang Lexuan's smile remained unchanged as she said to Wu Ming, "Ming'er, go and check it out."

"Yes, Senior Sister," Wu Ming replied. With a heart full of excitement, golden-red soul power carrying a scorching aura gathered in her palm, and then she slapped it onto the right claw of the Earth King, which was covered by a thick, dark blue armor.

Having lost its life force, the Earth King's body, now unprotected by soul power, was easily shattered by Wu Ming, who had advanced to the Soul Saint realm.

Fine cracks appeared on the giant claw, then gradually deepened, and it shattered with a loud bang.

A dazzling, fiery red light burst forth, followed by an unparalleled surge of intense heat that instantly seemed to freeze the surrounding space.

After bursting forth, the fiery red light gradually subsided. A strange soul bone, resembling a miniature human right arm, floated silently in mid-air, enveloped in dense soul power.

This is undoubtedly a soul bone, and it is the right arm bone, which is second only to the torso bone and skull in terms of rarity.

This soul bone is fiery red and semi-transparent, like a magnificent ruby, with flowing light emanating from within. Moreover, this soul bone is perfectly intact, indicating that it is of extremely high quality.
