However, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Lin Hao could clearly feel that his overall physical abilities had improved considerably.

Even his Soul Power had increased significantly again. He should have broken through to Level 13.

It could be said that he had earned these gains with his life. One careless move, and he would have lost his left hand.

More than half an hour later, Lin Hao's condition had improved somewhat. His body had regained some strength, and feeling had returned to his left hand.

Lin Hao stood up and directly poured Soul Power into his left hand, attempting to release his Soul Bone.

Then, four long golden energy strips gradually appeared above the four finger bones of his left hand. They finally solidified into four sharp claws, each glinting with a chilling light!

Lin Hao examined them closely. They were much like he had guessed—the Tyrant Gold Bear King Claw was somewhat similar to the Dark Gold Terror Claw.

When released, both extended claws from the finger bones, giving off a strong Wolverine vibe.

However, his claws did not have a metallic texture. They were actual bone, yet incredibly hard and sharp!

When fully extended, the four claws were only around a dozen centimeters long, and they looked quite thin as well.

"Tyrant Gold Gale Claw!"

A sharp glint flashed through Lin Hao's eyes. The claws on his left hand abruptly unleashed four fierce, tyrannical claw-shaped strikes, smashing viciously into a tree over two meters thick ahead of him.

Lin Hao then swiftly darted forward. His left hand swept upward from below, and another attack followed immediately after.

His left hand moved quickly, yet it gave off an extremely heavy and cumbersome feeling.

This made Lin Hao realize that using the Tyrant Gold Gale Claw with his current Soul Power was still somewhat strenuous.

He walked up to the tree he had attacked and found many smooth, shallow claw marks on it.

Every claw strike had nearly pierced through the trunk. More than a dozen marks crisscrossed one another, like a net imprinted upon the tree.

Lin Hao then circulated his Soul Power and infused it into the Tyrant Gold Bear King Claw. It effortlessly pierced into the tree, clearly demonstrating its extreme sharpness.

Lin Hao gave the tree a light push with his right hand, and the entire tree toppled over with a bang, startling countless birds into flight!

This was not some little sapling from his previous life. A tree that could survive in the inner regions of the Soul Hunting Forest was extremely tough.

Even some thousand-year Soul Beasts with weak offensive power would struggle to break it easily.

For someone at Level 13 to unleash an attack with such power, he was more than satisfied.

"This Soul Skill is quite powerful, and the claws are very sharp. I can learn a claw technique specifically for them later!"

Lin Hao nodded in satisfaction, both surprised and delighted.

The three of them then left the area directly, but they did not return to Notting City.

Lin Hao planned to wait for Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, then give Tang San a little gift.

One week later, Long Xiaoyao woke Lin Hao from his cultivation and said:

"Young Master, Ai Fike sent word that Tang San and Yu Xiaogang have entered the Soul Hunting Forest.

Following your instructions, I drove away all Soul Beasts in the outer regions of the Soul Hunting Forest that met Tang San's requirements.

That Mandala Snake has also been brought under control. It has been starved for several days, and Wind Scythe is guarding it with his men."

Ai Fike and Wind Scythe were Orange Minions Lin Hao had summoned after obtaining his Soul Ring that day.

At the time, he had felt incredibly lucky. Out of fifty minions he had summoned, five had turned out orange, and all of them were Soul Ancestors.

Among them, Ni Bin and Peng Ze possessed management skills. The former had taken over from Zhang San at Zhao's BBQ Restaurant, while the latter had gone to Heaven Dou City with another Soul Ancestor, Feng Lin.

"They're finally here. Have Ai Fike bring Li Si to meet up with me. We'll go give Tang San some warmth together."

Lin Hao gave the order with a chuckle. He had already laid out a grand show for Tang San and his teacher, and he was very curious how the pair would choose!

About an hour later, Ai Fike arrived with Li Si. Without much rest, they headed together toward Tang San's location.

After the group raced through the forest for about two hours, Long Xiaoyao, who had been concealed in the darkness, spoke up to remind them:

"Young Master, Tang San and the other are being chased by the Mandala Snake up ahead. They should be able to hold on for a little longer!"

"Then let's watch the show a while longer!"

Lin Hao immediately ordered everyone to hide in the shadows and quietly enjoy the spectacle.

They watched as Tang San and his teacher were forced into dire straits by the Mandala Snake.

Luo San Pao was swallowed whole in a single bite by the starving Mandala Snake.

Yu Xiaogang's lower body was hit directly by a blast of poisonous mist from the Mandala Snake. His little bird might even be gone!

Even with all of Tang San's hidden weapons deployed, he still had no solution.

After all, Lin Hao had deliberately tampered with things and protected the Mandala Snake's weak points!

"Damn it, why would a Soul Beast like a Mandala Snake appear in the outer regions of the Soul Hunting Forest?!"

Yu Xiaogang lay on the ground and looked at the small figure still holding on in the distance. His heart hardened as he decided to sacrifice himself to buy Tang San time to escape.

After all, Tang San was the practitioner of his theories. With the books in his office, Tang San would surely be able to inherit and fulfill his final wish!

"Little San, run! A fart like thunder—Heaven-Shattering Earth-Splitting Blast!"

Yu Xiaogang forced himself upright, intending to summon his Martial Soul once more. But before he could finish speaking, Tang San's voice rang out.

"Teacher, someone's here. Lin Hao, why is it you?"

There was clearly something off in Tang San's tone. Over the past few days, Wang Sheng and the others had collectively excluded him in the dormitory. Even Xiao Wu barely spoke to him.

He believed he had not offended anyone since arriving at Dorm Seven, and Lin Hao was the true boss of Dorm Seven.

Now that Wang Sheng and the others were collectively excluding him, they must have received orders from Lin Hao.

He had heard that Lin Hao had even wanted to avenge Xiao Wu, so he did not have a good impression of Lin Hao!

At the brink of life and death, Yu Xiaogang suddenly heard a glimmer of hope. He did not care about anything else and immediately rejoiced wildly.

"Little San, we're saved! It's Teacher Li from our Notting College. He's a power-attack Soul Grandmaster!"

Since Lin Hao had revealed himself, he naturally intended to intervene. He exchanged a glance with Ai Fike, who immediately made his move.

Having prepared in advance, he instantly summoned his Martial Soul, the Thorn Bird. Four gleaming Soul Rings rose one after another—two yellow and two purple.

As the Soul Rings revolved, surging Soul Power formed a wave-like pressure that crashed toward them.

With a thought from Ai Fike, his third purple Soul Ring lit up, and more than a dozen fist-sized balls of Soul Power condensed before the Thorn Bird.

"Third Soul Skill—Wooden Stream Barrage!"

The Soul Power balls shot out at high speed, gradually growing larger as they flew, before bombarding the Mandala Snake!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

That single attack left the Mandala Snake's flesh torn open and its body mangled, making it scream in agony.

Not to mention that Ai Fike had abundant Soul Power and unleashed his third Soul Skill again and again.

Under the heavy barrage, the Mandala Snake was directly blasted into a pulp. The sight was as gruesome as could be.

Then faint yellow motes gathered, forming a yellow ring of light above the Mandala Snake's corpse!

"Teacher, Uncle Ai Fike is amazing!"

Lin Hao deliberately raised a thumb in admiration and said to Li Si beside him.

"Of course! Lord Ai Fike is one of the upper ranks of our Soul Hunting Group, a Level 48 Battle Soul Ancestor!"

At Lin Hao's signal, Li Si deliberately said it loudly.
