Night Raven Feather and Soul Liberation

Three days later, Outer Area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Luo Ling, Hu Liena, and the other two were besieging an enormous bear-type soul beast.

Earth Flame Bear, 1,600 years old.

It had been prepared for Yan.

As for Luo Ling, he had already absorbed both of his second Soul Rings.

Ghost Douluo had helped hunt them down.

Aside from the 2,000-year-old Ghost Face Terror Scorpion, Soul of Desire's second Soul Ring had come from a 4,500-year-old Spiritual Energy Rain Butterfly.

At that moment, Luo Ling stood behind Hu Liena's group in his Martial Soul Fusion form.

Strengthened by two Thousand-Year Soul Rings, his Soul Power had broken through its bottleneck and reached an astonishing level 24.

In the Martial Soul Fusion state, his strength had already surpassed that of an ordinary Soul Elder.

As he watched Hu Liena's group battle the Earth Flame Bear ahead, the two purple Soul Rings on Luo Ling's body were both lit.

"Ha! Xiao Ling's Soul Liberation is way too powerful! This Earth Flame Bear can't even touch me."

Yan calmly dodged a pillar of fire erupting from the ground and spoke with an excited expression.

Xie Yue shot Yan a glance, the corner of his mouth twitching. "Stop talking nonsense! Finish this soul beast already!"

Luo Ling shook his head and remained where he was without moving.

Soul Liberation was Soul of Desire's Second Soul Skill.

It activated the target's latent soul potential, greatly enhancing their Spiritual Power and perception.

In the Raven Shadow Puppet Martial Soul Fusion state, it also increased all of the target's attributes by an additional twenty percent.

Luo Ling currently possessed two Soul Rings, allowing him to bestow Soul Liberation upon two people at once.

The number of targets he could empower with Soul Liberation would increase along with the number of Soul Rings he possessed.

It was an exceptionally powerful support ability, but Luo Ling was not particularly satisfied with it.

So far, both of Soul of Desire's soul skills had been support-oriented, yet Luo Ling did not want to be a support.

Fortunately, Raven Shadow Puppet's Second Soul Skill was an offensive skill.

On the battlefield, the Earth Flame Bear was being run ragged by Xie Yue and Yan. The two humans before it seemed able to see through its attacks, dodging every strike it made.

The Earth Flame Bear's vicious gaze turned toward Luo Ling behind Xie Yue and Yan.

The scarlet glow in that human's eyes made it sense evil. It was this evil power that had made the two humans fighting it so troublesome.

The Earth Flame Bear let out a furious roar, raised its sharp claws, and pounded its chest hard. Then, disregarding everything else, it charged toward Luo Ling in the rear.

Luo Ling watched it all unfold, still standing in place.

A dark aura gathered around him, gradually transforming into jet-black feathers. The roots of the feathers resembled spikes, gleaming with a cold purple light.

Raven Shadow Puppet's Second Soul Skill, Night Raven Feather.

A scorpion had actually granted Luo Ling a soul skill that could only normally be obtained from bird-type soul beasts.

It was strange, but it also confirmed Luo Ling's suspicions.

His Martial Soul's soul skills were unaffected by the species of soul beast. They would only take on certain traits of the soul beast he hunted.

For instance, the purple color at the roots of the Night Raven Feathers came from the Ghost Face Terror Scorpion's Hallucinogenic Toxin.

Countless Raven Feathers shot toward the Earth Flame Bear like machine-gun fire. One after another, they embedded themselves in its body, leaving behind grisly wounds.

Though Night Raven Feather's attacks were numerous and rapid, their power was not at all inferior to that of ordinary single-target offensive soul skills.

The Raven Feathers, formed entirely from dark power, possessed formidable corrosive properties.

At the same time, the Raven Feathers that landed on the Earth Flame Bear gradually transformed into strands of dark purple aura and seeped directly into its body through its wounds.

At once, the charging Earth Flame Bear's movements became stiff, and it began to stagger from side to side.

The Hallucinogenic Toxin inherited by Night Raven Feather was not lethal, but it caused the target to experience intense hallucinations, with the effects accumulating over time.

Watching the Earth Flame Bear continue struggling toward him, Luo Ling's lips curled into a smile.

The Raven Feathers around him slowly gathered, taking the form of a crow.

Then, the crow lunged at the Earth Flame Bear at incredible speed.

A shrill caw rang out as the crow, like a phantom, burrowed into the Earth Flame Bear's mind.

The Earth Flame Bear's eyes instantly filled with terror. It let out panicked roars, retreating again and again as it crashed wildly through the forest.

Luo Ling nodded at the sight, thoroughly satisfied with his soul skill.

In the Martial Soul Fusion state, Night Raven Feather had gained a new ability as well.

The Raven Feathers condensed into a Raven of Terror, forcibly plunging the target into a state of fear.

It ignored the target's Spiritual Power. At the very least, it would instill fear for one second, with no exception even for a Titled Douluo.

Its control effect was much weaker than that of First Soul Skill Soul Body Thread, but it consumed far less Soul Power. Moreover, it required no Spiritual Power confrontation and carried no risk.

Not far away, Bibi Dong and Ghost Douluo watched the frenzied Earth Flame Bear with grave expressions.

Once again, Luo Ling's Martial Soul had shocked them.

Luo Ling was only a Soul Grandmaster, yet his soul skills could repeatedly affect Titled Douluo. What would happen in the future?

At that moment, the hunt for the Earth Flame Bear was nearing its end.

The terrified Earth Flame Bear had returned to normal, but it no longer had the strength to resist.

The hallucinogenic toxin prevented it from locking onto any target at all, while its Soul Power was nearly exhausted under the toxin's corrosion.

In the end, Yan's fist crashed viciously into the Earth Flame Bear's head, wreathed in fire and magma, killing it completely.

"Xiao Ling, you really are a freak!" Yan walked over and could not help sighing as he looked at the Earth Flame Bear, which had been slowly worn to death.

The Earth Flame Bear possessed dual fire and earth attributes. Not only was its attack power formidable, but its defense was also extremely strong.

Despite circling around it for so long, Yan and Xie Yue had only left a few superficial wounds on the Earth Flame Bear.

The Earth Flame Bear's death was primarily due to the corrosive power and Hallucinogenic Toxin of Night Raven Feather.

Faced with Yan's praise, Luo Ling merely smiled. He withdrew his Martial Soul and Soul Rings, returning to his harmless-looking appearance.

"Alright! Since it's been killed, hurry up and absorb the Soul Ring." Bibi Dong walked over at that moment. "We still need to obtain a Soul Ring for Xie Yue."

Yan did not waste any more time after hearing that. He went to the Earth Flame Bear's side and began absorbing its Soul Ring.

As a soul beast with a high-grade bloodline, the Earth Flame Bear's Soul Ring contained more power than that of an ordinary thousand-year soul beast, so Yan's absorption was not quick.

The others stood guard around him.

Luo Ling entered the Martial Soul Fusion state once more and began sensing the changes in his Martial Soul.

His First Soul Ring lit up. His vision gradually dimmed as countless Soul Body Threads crisscrossed and stretched through the forest.

Suddenly, Luo Ling saw three Soul Body Threads radiating powerful energy slowly approaching from nearby.

One of them emitted a holy aura, while the other two were even more powerful.

Luo Ling had only seen such power in Titled Douluo.

"Someone's coming!" Luo Ling abruptly stood and looked into the distance.

Bibi Dong and Ghost Douluo gave Luo Ling a puzzled look before turning their gazes in the same direction.

In the distance, three figures slowly appeared at the end of the path.
