Picking Up the Spoils! Thousand Year Crystal Bear vs. Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon (Seeking Investment! Seeking Monthly Ticket! Seeking Recommendation Ticket!)

Within the Spirit Ascension Platform, Jing Shaoyu did not stop moving. He continued deeper into the forest, and every Spirit Beast he encountered along the way became nourishment for Red Jade.

Red Jade's cultivation was now around nineteen hundred years, so his goal this time was to help Red Jade break through to two thousand years.

This goal was actually quite simple. Killing two Thousand Year Spirit Beasts would do the trick. However, for Jing Shaoyu, whose Soul Power was only level twenty-seven, it was rather difficult. After all, he was merely a Healing Great Soul Master!

Within this Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, ten-year Spirit Beasts were the most common, followed by hundred-year Spirit Beasts, while Thousand Year Spirit Beasts were the rarest. Generally speaking, one might not encounter a single Thousand Year Spirit Beast even after meeting ten hundred-year Spirit Beasts.

However, Jing Shaoyu's expression darkened. He seemed to be a little too lucky today, having run into two Thousand Year Spirit Beasts right away!

A Thousand Year Crystal Bear! A Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon!

Good grief, they were both familiar faces.

Could this Thousand Year Crystal Bear be the one Zero Class encountered when they first entered the Spirit Ascension Platform in the Original Work? And this Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon, did it happen to have a younger brother or a son?

While grumbling to himself, Jing Shaoyu found a concealed spot with a good view and watched the savage battle between the two enormous beasts with great amusement. This was a rare spectacle!

This Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon was over ten meters long and nearly four meters tall. The horn in the center of its forehead was mottled and rough, clearly having defeated quite a few opponents. Unicorn Dragons were strength-type earth dragons. Their bodies were powerful and their movements agile, allowing them to swiftly navigate complex terrain. They excelled at bodily charges and leaping pounces, but lacked long-range attacks and could easily be kited.

Fortunately, its opponent today was the Crystal Bear, another expert at hunting prey through brute physical strength. It was even faintly stronger. After all, the Crystal Bear was a subspecies of the Dreadclaw Bear. Its massive paws could easily tear through a Unicorn Dragon's scales, not to mention its crystallization ability.

In short, this dragon-bear battle was quite a sight.

Jing Shaoyu's arrival did not draw the attention of either giant beast, because their fight had already reached its fiercest stage. Judging from the current situation, the Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon was in a dire position. Its abdomen had been ripped open by the Thousand Year Crystal Bear's claws, leaving several deep wounds through which its internal organs could vaguely be seen. The flesh around the wounds had already begun to crystallize. Its aura was weakening, and a trace of retreat showed in its vicious eyes.

The Thousand Year Crystal Bear, on the other hand, was brimming with momentum and fighting spirit. Although its abdomen had also been pierced by the Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon's horn, its injuries were clearly not life-threatening compared to the Unicorn Dragon's.

"Roar~" The Thousand Year Crystal Bear let out a tremendous bellow, its sound waves kicking up dust across the battlefield. This was the sign that it intended to end the fight.

Sure enough, the Thousand Year Crystal Bear dropped its enormous body low, all four paws touching the ground as it began charging fiercely toward the Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon. Its unstoppable momentum was like a truck loaded with boulders, capable of crushing everything in its path.

The Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon was so intimidated by the Crystal Bear's momentum that it froze in place, completely losing the will to resist. It remained motionless, and the battle could practically be declared over. At the same time, so could its life, because once it was hit by the Thousand Year Crystal Bear, it would immediately lose all ability to fight and be left at the Crystal Bear's mercy.

Jing Shaoyu remained unmoved. He was here to pick up the spoils, not to save anyone. If these two big fellows did not beat each other bloody and end up mutually wounded, how was he supposed to play the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole waited behind? There were no twists or reversals. The Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon was sent flying by the Thousand Year Crystal Bear's charge. The tremendous impact flung it into the air before it crashed brutally to the ground. Its huge body trembled and convulsed violently, blood flowing from the corner of its mouth. It looked as though it had more breath leaving than entering. Every bone in its body had shattered, and it was clearly not long for this world.

The Thousand Year Crystal Bear did not let down its guard. It made a huge leap, preparing to crush the Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon beneath it and finish it off completely.

At the same time, Jing Shaoyu finally made his move. He could not allow the Thousand Year Crystal Bear to land the finishing blow, or he would suffer a huge loss! Going all out, he spread his arms, and the plants that had long been poised to strike burst forth at once. Branches and vines surged forward in a swarm, some rushing toward the Thousand Year Crystal Bear in midair, while others flew toward the Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon sprawled on the ground.

Caught completely off guard, the Thousand Year Crystal Bear had its attack interrupted by the suddenly appearing plants. Some were hard, some soft; some rigid, some flexible. They came from all directions and tightly restrained the Thousand Year Crystal Bear. The supple vines then climbed onto its body, wrapping it alive into a huge dumpling and causing it to fall from the air, smashing a massive crater into the ground.

The Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon was likewise entangled by vines, but Jing Shaoyu did not care about someone on the verge of death. All his attention was focused on the Thousand Year Crystal Bear.

"Roar~"

The Thousand Year Crystal Bear, wrapped into a huge dumpling, was furious. It struggled to stand, rage blazing in its one exposed enormous eye. Its angry roar echoed through the forest, veins bulging at the corners of its eyes as it clearly tried to break free from the vines.

Its strength was terrifying. Although the plants binding it had been strengthened by Jing Shaoyu, they could at most be considered hundred-year Spirit Beasts. They simply could not withstand such tremendous force and began snapping one after another, starting from the innermost layer.

Naturally, Jing Shaoyu would not let it have its way. Strike while it was sick and take its life. A deep red Fireball instantly condensed in his hand. Under Jing Shaoyu's control, it landed on the Thousand Year Crystal Bear's neck and exploded with a boom.

"Whoosh~" The Fireball burst apart, scattering sparks everywhere and instantly igniting the vines wrapped around the Thousand Year Crystal Bear, along with its exposed fur. In the blink of an eye, the flames spread over its entire body. The abdomen Jing Shaoyu had deliberately targeted burned especially fiercely, the fire following the wounds and beginning to scorch its way into the Crystal Bear's body.

"Roar~" The Thousand Year Crystal Bear was in extreme pain from the premeditated blaze, continuously letting out furious, miserable howls. Although the restraints of the vines were gone, the damage brought by the fire was even harder to endure. It had no time to take revenge on the despicable human who had ambushed it. It could only roll about on the ground in agony, trying to extinguish the flames through this method.

But how could Jing Shaoyu let such a perfect opportunity slip away? He pointed his left arm diagonally toward the ground and half-clenched his left hand. Then, wild grass from the ground surged toward his palm. In less than a second, it wove itself into a green plant spear in his left hand.

However, this vine spear appeared somewhat bloated, as though it were a mistake caused by Jing Shaoyu's lack of skill. In truth, he had done it deliberately. The plant spear was only a shell. The real killing move lay within it.

A pitch-black spear, dark as night!

The Endless Godslaying Spear! This was Jing Shaoyu's first time using his second martial soul in actual combat. That alone was enough for the Thousand Year Crystal Bear to boast about in hell after its death.

He slowly approached the Thousand Year Crystal Bear, then struck with lightning speed. One moment, the Crystal Bear had been rolling across the ground; the next, it was completely still. A spear had pierced through the back of its neck and emerged from its forehead.

The Thousand Year Crystal Bear was dead! Without paying attention to the faint energy flowing into his body or the crystallization eruption after the Crystal Bear's death, Jing Shaoyu carried the Endless Godslaying Spear wrapped in vines over to the still barely breathing Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon and lightly extended the spearpoint.

The Thousand Year Unicorn Dragon was dead! Jing Shaoyu had killed two Thousand Year Spirit Beasts so easily that the staff in the control room outside were left dumbfounded, all marveling at how monstrous this boy was.

"Is this kid really a Healer Soul Master? He doesn't look like one at all! What kind of Healer Soul Master would actively pick up the spoils from two Thousand Year Spirit Beasts and even kill one? Damn, this is absurd!" One person voiced everyone's thoughts.

Jing Shaoyu himself naturally did not care. He signaled for Red Jade to devour the Spirit Power of the two Thousand Year Spirit Beasts. Once it finished absorbing them, its cultivation increased by a hundred years, just surpassing two thousand years!

Jing Shaoyu revealed a delighted smile. Completely satisfied, he chose to end this trip into the Spirit Ascension Platform.

On the top floor, the Red-haired Woman who had been closely watching Jing Shaoyu showed a trace of puzzlement on her pretty face. She murmured, "That spear the child used at the end... was it part of his martial soul? Or... a second martial soul? But... why could he release them together?"

Thought flickered in the woman's eyes, and her expression was slightly hesitant as she whispered, "...I should observe him for a while longer. I've already stayed in Eastsea City for three years, so a little more time won't make any difference."

Jing Shaoyu naturally had no idea that his secret might already have been seen through. He stepped out of the metal pod and had not even steadied himself before Xu Xiaoyan rushed over and hugged him.

"Little Yu Brother, I feel like my body has become much stronger again! Maybe I won't even need to wait until I become a Soul Elder to have a purple Soul Ring!" the girl cried excitedly, joy written all over her pretty face.

"Really? That's wonderful!" Jing Shaoyu immediately smiled and congratulated her. He found it a little amusing. If this girl put in a little more effort normally, she wouldn't be so excited over such a small matter now!

After Xu Xiaoyu and Ouyang Zixin came out, the four of them left the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda.

Tomorrow was the first day of school.
