Yu Yuanzhen's mouth hung slightly open. He couldn't understand it, but he was utterly shaken!

The commotion here was considerable and quickly drew the attention of that hundred-year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.

"Roar~"

After roaring, it charged toward Yu Yuanzhen and Kong.

"Grandpa, this one will do. I can absorb its soul ring!"

Kong came back to his senses at that moment and spoke to Yu Yuanzhen.

How much energy the Chakra Desiderata could absorb was related to his Soul Power Level.

It was roughly equal to the total amount of energy his body could withstand.

With the Chakra Desiderata, it was as though, in battle, he not only had a "Power Bank," but also more than double the total "Soul Power" of someone at the same level.

Unfortunately, although the energy within the Chakra Desiderata could be drawn upon, it could not be used for cultivation.

There were pros and cons, but Kong was already extremely satisfied with it.

"Alright!"

Yu Yuanzhen agreed without hesitation. Since Kong said he was confident he could absorb it, then he definitely was!

"Roar~"

Yu Yuanzhen let out an enraged roar as well. Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—nine soul rings instantly appeared around him.

The next moment, his figure vanished. Yu Yuanzhen reappeared in his fully dragonized Dragon Man form. After reaching the level of a Titled Douluo, his full-body dragon transformation had even grown wings.

Bolts of lightning flashed continuously. Though they were not aimed at Kong, two more Ba Patterns on the Chakra Desiderata behind him unknowingly lit up.

Kong: "..."

Could it be because he was a Titled Douluo?

Just by releasing his Martial Soul, the overflowing Soul Power—only a portion of it—had charged "Two Bars of Power"!

Later, he would have to find a way to release this "Power Level." Otherwise, absorbing the soul ring would be dangerous!

"Bear cub, do you only know how to roar louder?"

Kong: This damn competitive streak!

At his age, he was competing with a bear cub over who could roar louder. Beneath Yu Yuanzhen's dignified appearance beat a heart that never grew old!

In an instant, Yu Yuanzhen arrived before the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear without even releasing Soul Power.

His dragon claw clenched into a fist, and an "ordinary punch" smashed down from above. With a bang, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear—which could only rival an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beast—was slammed into the ground without any ability to resist, leaving behind a massive crater.

It was fortunate that Yu Yuanzhen had held back. Otherwise, this Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear would have become a puddle... There definitely would not have been an intact body left.

Could a hundred-year soul beast possibly withstand a personal attack from a Level 96 Super Douluo?

Its talent and bloodline were not weak, but even if it became a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it might not be able to defeat a Level 96 Yu Yuanzhen!

Bear Monarch, with several hundred thousand years of cultivation, was only comparable to a Level 98 Super Douluo. With Yu Yuanzhen's Level 96 strength and his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, dealing with ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts was effortless.

Against a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, even if he won, it would be a miserable victory!

Kong's mouth twitched at the side. Yu Yuanzhen might have easily suppressed this Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, but six Ba Patterns on the Chakra Desiderata behind Kong had already lit up.

It was already fully charged!

Yu Yuanzhen reverted from his Dragon Man form to his original body, and his soul rings vanished at the same time.

"Kong, hurry over and finish it off! This bear cub won't hold on much longer."

Yu Yuanzhen called out to Kong.

As for how soul masters hunted soul beasts and obtained soul rings, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan began teaching children when they were around five years old.

What needed to be noted was that only the person who delivered the final blow could absorb the soul ring of the slain soul beast.

Kong nodded. His Martial Soul was a Weapon Martial Soul, and a long-blade type at that, so Yu Yuanzhen had not prepared tools such as a short sword for him.

He clenched his right hand, and a flash of purple thunder streaked past. Engulfing Lightning instantly appeared in Kong's hand.

At present, Kong did not know how to use a naginata. But not knowing did not mean he was stupid!

He still knew the most basic chops and slashes.

At worst, when he had the chance, he could ask Wife-sama for guidance!

Inazuma's tachi techniques and naginata techniques had both originated from the Shadow Stream. As Ei's predecessor, since Ei knew naginata techniques, the Shogun naturally knew them as well.

He had to learn them. Otherwise, when the time came to hold a divine weapon, he would only know how to chop and slash like a brute. The image was too awful to look at...

After Engulfing Lightning appeared, faint arcs of purple thunder flickered across its body.

Holding Engulfing Lightning, Kong rushed swiftly toward the hundred-year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. Yu Yuanzhen merely smiled at the sight and said nothing.

Expecting a child to possess superb naginata techniques? What a joke!

The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear had already passed out. Even when Kong slashed it, it did not react at all!

That was fairly normal, considering Kong had not even broken through the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's defenses...

Kong's face darkened. He was holding a divine weapon, yet he could not even break through the defenses of a hundred-year soul beast. The most crucial point was that it could not fight back at all!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the more embarrassing it felt. In his urgency, Kong hastily drew all the power from the Chakra Desiderata and condensed it into Engulfing Lightning. Instantly, it shone brilliantly!

"Die, you bastard!"

Kong raised Engulfing Lightning over his head and slashed down at the hundred-year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear once more...

This time, there were no surprises. Engulfing Lightning sliced through the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's defenses as though cutting tofu, instantly cleaving it in half!

Not only that, arcs of electricity spread across the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's body...

"Damn, it's that sharp?"

And its elemental attack was equally terrifying!

Yu Yuanzhen was slightly stunned. Engulfing Lightning was even sharper than he had imagined!

He had personally tested this bear cub's defenses just moments ago. Since Kong could "easily" break through them, there was no need to add armor-piercing attributes or the like!

Yu Yuanzhen had noticed the "ring" behind Kong before. When he used Martial Soul Possession, that "ring" lit up and gained two more marks.

When he unleashed his Soul Power again, the "ring" behind Kong instantly lit up completely, revealing a full six marks.

It looked rather similar to a thousand-year soul ring, but in truth, they had nothing to do with each other.

When Kong attacked the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear for the first time, the ring behind him did not change at all. When he attacked it the second time, five of the glowing marks behind him dimmed, while only the very first mark remained lit.

Yu Yuanzhen saw all of this, but he said nothing and asked nothing.

Before long, a yellow soul ring tinged with a trace of purple appeared above the corpse of the hundred-year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear...
