First Soul Ring: Tyrant Gold Bear King

First Soul Ring—Tyrant Gold Bear King

He had gotten more and more excited as they fought and forgotten that she was just a little girl!

"Pah, I'm fine. Lin Hao, you hit way too hard!"

As a Soul Beast in human form, Xiao Wu's physical constitution was beyond question. Other than some pain, she was perfectly fine!

"You're really strong. I got a little carried away!"

Lin Hao laughed heartily, then quickly changed the subject.

"It's getting late. Let's head back, clean up, and rest!"

"Fine, then this one counts as a draw. We can spar again when there's a chance. I can still fight!"

Xiao Wu was clearly unconvinced, but she was still happy that Lin Hao had stopped their sparring midway out of concern for her safety.

"Haha, whatever you say!"

Lin Hao nodded. Once he made sure Xiao Wu was all right, he led her back.

Lin Hao woke early the next day. After washing up, he went straight to find Li Si. Once they finished breakfast, the two left Notting College together.

After leaving Notting City, Long Xiaoyao and Xian Lin'er were at his side instead, while Li Si went to find Wang Da and the others.

The three soon reached Soul Hunting Forest. Following Xian Lin'er and Long Xiaoyao's advice, Lin Hao considered the matter carefully before deciding to find a metal-attributed assault-type Soul Beast to make his Mo Dao sharper!

Since his Mo Dao Martial Soul was utterly ordinary, Lin Hao planned to follow a path of strengthening himself in the future. He would try to find Soul Skills that could enhance either his Martial Soul or his body.

As for his fighting style, he had a cheat. As long as he summoned a subordinate from a martial arts world, he would never lack Soul Skills.

Besides, Lin Hao felt that with so many subordinates around, he might never even have a chance to fight personally!

Ordinary people could only rely on luck when searching for Soul Beasts, but with Long Xiaoyao and Xian Lin'er present, Lin Hao felt that every Soul Beast in this Soul Hunting Forest was his for the choosing.

After entering Soul Hunting Forest, Lin Hao and Xian Lin'er headed directly into the inner region and found an open area to wait in, while Long Xiaoyao quickly made his way through the forest.

About half a day later, Long Xiaoyao appeared before Lin Hao carrying a bear-type Soul Beast covered in dark golden fur that gleamed with a metallic luster.

After tossing it onto the ground, he introduced it.

"Young Master, this is a Tyrant Gold Bear King. It possesses a rich Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear bloodline and is just over four hundred years old.

Though its age is not particularly high, I believe it suits you very well, Young Master. The process may also be rather dangerous and painful.

Please consider it first. I spotted several other good Soul Beasts just now. I'll go bring them back."

"No need, Mister Long. This one will do!"

Lin Hao stopped Long Xiaoyao. He was very satisfied with this Tyrant Gold Bear King, since it was a top-tier Soul Beast.

Among bear-type Soul Beasts, it was second only to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. The other choices would at best be on par with this one!

Besides, since Long Xiaoyao had brought it back first, he must have considered it the best option. Lin Hao trusted the judgment of a Limit Douluo!

Having made up his mind, Lin Hao no longer hesitated. He immediately took out the dagger he had prepared beforehand and viciously stabbed it into the Tyrant Gold Bear King's head.

The Tyrant Gold Bear King had already been beaten unconscious by Long Xiaoyao. After that stab, it immediately breathed its last, and a deep yellow Soul Ring floated up from its body.

"Mister Long, Sister Lin, I'll leave the surroundings to you!"

"Rest assured, Young Master!"

Lin Hao looked at the Soul Ring, anticipation and nervousness flashing through his eyes. He immediately sat cross-legged and released his Mo Dao Martial Soul.

He then beckoned toward the Soul Ring with his hand, guiding it over with Soul Power. Under his control, its energy soon began flowing into Lin Hao's body.

As a top-tier metal-attributed Soul Beast, the Tyrant Gold Bear King's energy was exceptionally overbearing.

The moment that energy entered his body, Lin Hao frowned slightly. He felt only one thing—pain.

As the energy completed one circulation through his body, Lin Hao's entire body went numb.

Pain was everywhere throughout his body. For a moment, his brain did not even know where to send signals.

Moreover, the pain gradually intensified as the energy circulated more times.

Cold sweat immediately beaded across Lin Hao's forehead and dripped down drop by drop. He clenched his teeth tightly, enduring the pain as he refined the energy with all his strength.

But the Tyrant Gold Bear King Soul Ring contained too much energy, and it was too powerful. Lin Hao's aptitude was poor, so his refinement speed was very slow.

As a result, the rate at which he refined the energy could not keep up with the rate at which it entered his body. Lin Hao became like an overinflated balloon, at risk of exploding.

Although the pain had left Lin Hao's consciousness somewhat hazy, he still realized the danger he was in.

He understood that if he did not find a way to improve things, the only outcome would be a failed Soul Ring absorption, severe injury, or even death.

That consequence completely ignited Lin Hao's desire to survive. He was a transmigrator with a cheat—he had yet to fulfill his dream of having Bibi Dong on his left and Liu Erlong on his right!

Lin Hao desperately circulated his Soul Power. The Soul Power within his body ran beyond its limits as he refined the Soul Ring's energy at the fastest possible speed.

When people faced a desperate situation, their potential could be unleashed, allowing them to erupt with strength beyond the ordinary.

That was exactly Lin Hao's situation now. With one foot already through the gates of hell, he was giving everything he had to pull it back.

Since arriving on Douluo Continent, Lin Hao had wandered around Soul Hunting Forest at such a young age. He could be said to have frequently hovered at the edge of death, so his personality had naturally become exceptionally resilient.

This pain did not break him. Instead, it became a stimulant that excited his nerves.

He was incredibly fired up now. The Soul Power within his body circulated several times faster than usual, rapidly refining the Soul Ring's energy.

Long Xiaoyao and Xian Lin'er nervously watched Lin Hao's condition, pacing anxiously around him and struggling to remain calm.

Long Xiaoyao deeply regretted it now. If he had known, he would have brought back the other Soul Beasts even if Young Master scolded him for it.

Several times, Long Xiaoyao wanted to forcibly interrupt Lin Hao, but each time, he held himself back in the end.

He had always remembered Young Master's instructions. If he acted, he might instead harm Young Master.

Time slowly passed. Relying on his tenacious will, Lin Hao successfully endured it, and the Soul Ring absorption entered its final stage.

Of course, the powerful physique he had forged through years of training was also crucial to his success. Both willpower and physical strength were indispensable!

As the yellow Soul Ring sank into Lin Hao's body, it signified that this Soul Ring absorption had completely ended. He had obtained this more than four-hundred-year-old Tyrant Gold Bear King Soul Ring.

But before he could make any other reaction, a system notification sounded in his mind.

Congratulations, Host! You have broken through the limits of your potential and become a Soul Master. You have been rewarded with one Icefire Mysterious Dragon Pill!

PS: The Icefire Mysterious Dragon Pill can promote Martial Soul mutation and increase your potential. Consuming it in a place rich in both ice and fire elements will yield even better results!

"Damn, System, I love you!"

Lin Hao was overwhelmed by the surprise. He had originally been worrying about what to do next!

Lin Hao knew his own aptitude very well. With Innate Soul Power Level 1, it should have been difficult enough for him to become a Soul Master in his entire life.

The fact that he had become a Soul Master at the age of twelve was also the result of many factors coming together.

But if he wanted to continue improving afterward, there was basically no way aside from relying on heavenly treasures.

In Peerless, Zhao Yang's Tyrant Gold Bear was called a bear-type Soul Beast close to the very top, so here, the Tyrant Gold Bear King was set as a top-tier Soul Beast.
