Dark Gold Dreadclaw in the Left Hand, Blue Silver Overlord Spear in the Right

"Ah Yin, I'll leave this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear to you."

Jiang Taichu retreated behind Ah Yin, leaving the battlefield to her.

"Don't worry, Master."

Ah Yin spoke confidently as Soul Power began circulating around her, and boundless vitality burst forth from her body.

A spear formed from Blue Silver Grass appeared in Ah Yin's hand.

Blue Silver Overlord Spear!

"Roar, roar, roar!!!"

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared and swung its Dark Gold Dreadclaw, tearing at Ah Yin.

"Comparing attack power? At the same age, I really wouldn't be a match for your Dark Gold Dreadclaw, but I'm more than three times your age. So let's see how we compare."

Ah Yin let out a low shout.

The Soul Power and vitality within her converged on the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.

At the same time.

Ah Yin unleashed her Blue Silver Domain. A pale blue halo spread out from beneath her feet, covering a hundred-meter radius.

The next moment.

A violent crash rang out as Ah Yin's Soul Power collided with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's, flattening the surrounding trees.

Watching from the edge of the battlefield, Jiang Taichu couldn't help swallowing.

Was this a clash between super Soul Beasts?

Even though they were only at the thousand-year level, their clash was enough to rival a clash between Soul Beasts tens of thousands of years old.

"If I wanted to do what Ah Yin just did, relying on the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline alone, my Soul Power Level would have to reach at least the Soul Ancestor rank."

Jiang Taichu made a quick estimate of his own strength and realized he was still just another nobody by the roadside.

Since awakening his Martial Soul, the strongest opponent Jiang Taichu had encountered was Yu Tianheng, but that guy was the sort of opponent he could brush aside without a second thought.

He had never witnessed a clash between true experts.

Although Sword Douluo had once come to see him, Sword Douluo had never actually made a move.

Simply put, Jiang Taichu had been proud of himself.

But now, seeing the fierce clash between Ah Yin and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, he gradually reined in that pride.

The clash between Ah Yin and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear quickly produced a clear winner.

After a single exchange, Ah Yin stood firm where she was, Blue Silver Overlord Spear in hand, like a god slayer.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, meanwhile, was sent flying backward by the terrifying impact of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear. It smashed through several large trees before finally coming to a stop.

"Roar, roar!"

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared twice in pain. Its eyes then turned crimson, and its body began to swell as it entered a frenzied state.

This was the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's ability, Berserk.

Once it activated Berserk, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's strength and physique would increase dramatically, but in exchange, it would lose much of its reason.

Facing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in its Berserk state, Ah Yin frowned slightly. Clearly, it was a little troublesome.

But Ah Yin didn't take it too seriously.

Even after the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear went Berserk, Ah Yin wasn't afraid of it in terms of attack power alone.

But she and her master had come here to hunt the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, so Ah Yin wasn't going to compete with the big stupid bear.

Compared with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, she was more agile after taking human form.

After that, Ah Yin kept her Blue Silver Domain active at all times, wielding the Blue Silver Overlord Spear as she fought a guerrilla battle against the big stupid bear.

Every time Ah Yin attacked, her Blue Silver Overlord Spear left a deep gash in the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's rough skin, making it roar wildly in pain again and again.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was so cumbersome that it couldn't even touch Ah Yin.

As time passed, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's injuries grew so severe that it collapsed to the ground and couldn't get back up.

The battle between Ah Yin and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had swept across a hundred-meter radius.

Every tree within that area had been destroyed, without exception, by the clashes of their Soul Power and the shockwaves of their attacks.

"Master, I've taken care of the big stupid bear."

After confirming that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear could no longer fight, Ah Yin came to Jiang Taichu's side and reported her accomplishment, her face full of excitement.

Jiang Taichu wanted to pat Ah Yin on the head.

But his body was too small right now. Even if he reached up, he couldn't touch her chin.

With no other choice, Jiang Taichu could only pat Ah Yin's beautiful long leg as he praised her:

"Ah Yin, you're amazing."

Hearing Jiang Taichu's praise, Ah Yin felt as sweet as if she'd eaten honey.

"Mm-hmm, it's what I should do."

Before long, Jiang Taichu came to the body of the fifteen-hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was already on its last breath. Even with Jiang Taichu right in front of it, it had no ability to fight back.

The next moment.

A spear identical to Ah Yin's formed in Jiang Taichu's hand.

However, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear Jiang Taichu had formed was far less imposing than Ah Yin's.

He fixed his gaze on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's heart and thrust the Blue Silver Overlord Spear in his hand with all his might, piercing straight through it.

Having done all that, Jiang Taichu let out a long breath.

Only the final step remained: absorb the Soul Ring and record the bloodline. Then he would become a Soul Master with two super bloodlines.

Jiang Taichu couldn't imagine how strong he would be with two super bloodlines.

With both the Blue Silver Emperor and Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear bloodlines, no human Soul Master of this era could defeat him at the same level.

Before long, a pale purple Soul Ring slowly appeared above the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's corpse.

Seeing this, Jiang Taichu immediately sat down cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and circulated his Soul Power to absorb the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's Soul Ring.

As time passed, Jiang Taichu's Martial Soul, the Myriad Beasts Record, appeared overhead and began recording the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear bloodline, merging it with the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline within him.

Several hours passed.

When Jiang Taichu finally finished merging the Blue Silver Emperor and Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear bloodlines, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body had already vanished, leaving behind a dark gold Soul Bone.

Jiang Taichu opened his eyes. Without noticing the dark gold Soul Bone beside him, he first checked the condition of his body.

First was his Soul Power Level. The fifteen-hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had barely raised it to level twenty-two.

Jiang Taichu already had a guess about this.

As the strength of his bloodline increased, raising his Soul Power Level became more difficult.

If Jiang Taichu had absorbed the energy of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's fifteen-hundred-year Soul Ring with only the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, he might have broken through to level twenty-three.

Yet all that Soul Ring energy had barely brought Jiang Taichu to level twenty-two.

That meant the stronger his bloodline, the more energy he needed to raise his Soul Power Level.

Second, after recording and merging the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear bloodline, Jiang Taichu's physical strength had increased tremendously. His strength alone had increased severalfold.

"As expected of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, a super Soul Beast with maxed-out attack and defense. The boost it gave me in both areas is enormous."

After marveling at it, Jiang Taichu decided to test the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's power.

"Dark Gold Dreadclaw, appear!"

Jiang Taichu stood up and gave a low shout. A Dark Gold Dreadclaw formed over the bones of his left hand.

He looked at the ground ahead and, with a thought, lightly swung the Dark Gold Dreadclaw.

In an instant, a deep claw mark scored the ground, splitting it apart. A light step was all it would take for the earth in front of Jiang Taichu to collapse.

"The Dark Gold Dreadclaw's attack power is terrifying."

"From today onward, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw will be my strongest means of attack."

"In future battles, I'll have the Dark Gold Dreadclaw in my left hand and the Blue Silver Overlord Spear in my right. When it comes to attack power, who could compare to me?"

Jiang Taichu entertained the thought with delight.

After trying out the Dark Gold Dreadclaw's power, Jiang Taichu finally noticed a dark gold Soul Bone where the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body had been.

"Well, I'll be damned. That's Brother Bear for you—your drop rate for gold really is high."

"Did I really just find the legendary External Soul Bone that can rival a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?"
