Ten Thousand Year Tyrannosaurus Beast

But strangely enough, despite eating so many Heavenly Treasures, Li Yuan's Soul Power had not increased by even a single level. If not for the fact that Li Yuan had grown much stronger afterward, he would have suspected that he had visited a fake Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

All right, there was no point dwelling on that. For Li Yuan, the most important matter was what Spirit Beast he should choose for his third spirit ring.

About two years ago, his Soul Power Cultivation had reached Level Twenty. Then, following Juhua's advice, he hunted an over-eight-thousand-year Thunder Roar Beast and used it as his second spirit ring.

Not bad. This time, the Second Soul Skill he obtained was not nearly as bizarre as his First Soul Skill. His Second Soul Skill was called Heavenly Strike.

Put simply, it was a critical hit. Once activated, it could increase Li Yuan's attack power by one hundred percent while also adding lightning damage.

From that standpoint, Li Yuan's soul skill was quite powerful. Its only flaw was that it required one or two seconds of charging before activation, and the enemy could not interrupt him during that charging period.

Still, even with that flaw, it was far better than Li Yuan's First Soul Skill. That First Soul Skill of his was simply ridiculous.

Since this concerned his future, Li Yuan sincerely began asking Juhua and the remaining Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts for advice.

After all, choosing a spirit ring was truly crucial. He did not want another bizarre soul skill like Taunt.

"Your third spirit ring? Don't worry, Little Slave. I've already thought it through for you. Use a Tyrannosaurus Beast for your third spirit ring." Juhua greatly enjoyed this atmosphere.

Over the years, Little Slave had become increasingly presumptuous toward it. Its dignity as his master was nearly gone, so Juhua could only preserve its pride in this way.

"Tyrannosaurus Beast?" Li Yuan did not complain about the strange name.

After spending four years in the Sunset Great Forest, Li Yuan had become very familiar with all kinds of Spirit Beasts within the forest, including the Tyrannosaurus Beast Juhua had mentioned.

It was a fairly powerful Spirit Beast in the Sunset Great Forest. Although its name contained the word dragon, a Tyrannosaurus Beast was not a true dragon in the strict sense.

Strictly speaking, it could only be considered a sub-dragon possessing a dragon bloodline.

But then again, if it were a real dragon, Li Yuan would not be able to defeat it anyway. So a sub-dragon was fine.

Tyrannosaurus Beasts were also considered relatively powerful sub-dragons. Their cultivation generally ranged from a thousand to ten thousand years.

This kind of Spirit Beast lived in the core region of the Sunset Great Forest, though their numbers were not particularly high. They were violent and mindless, fond of fighting and slaughter. Even when facing Spirit Beasts far stronger than themselves, they did not know when to back down, so they usually had difficulty surviving.

Still, aside from their poor brains and reckless temperaments, Tyrannosaurus Beasts had no other weaknesses. These sub-dragons possessed incredibly powerful physical strength, making them quite suitable for a muscle-bound Soul Master like Li Yuan.

"Fine, a Tyrannosaurus Beast it is." Li Yuan quickly made his decision. "Then what cultivation age Tyrannosaurus Beast should I hunt?"

"Little Slave, I think you can attach a Ten Thousand Year spirit ring this time."

"Your second spirit ring was already eight thousand years old. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to endure a spirit ring of around ten thousand years too."

"So? Want to give it a try?" Juhua looked as though it had thought things through, while the remaining Spirit Beasts were all eager to stir things up.

"Right, exactly. I think a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast would be good."

"Yeah, yeah, I think so too. Xiao Yuan, your body is so sturdy. You can definitely endure it."

"Oh, there seems to be a Tyrannosaurus Beast over ten thousand years old near my territory. If you need one, Xiao Yuan, come to my place. I'll help you when the time comes."

Several Spirit Beasts chattered away, offering Li Yuan their advice. Even the Savage Baboon, which had just returned from hunting, joined in with great interest.

"Then... should I give it a try?"

I reckon it shouldn't be too much of a problem!

Li Yuan was tempted as well. Generally speaking, a Three-ring Soul Master could only withstand a spirit ring one or two thousand years old.

But Li Yuan was clearly no ordinary person. An ordinary person could never grow into his current form. No matter how one looked at him, he did not resemble a proper human.

So humanity's limits were of little use to him. The last time he absorbed the spirit ring of that over-eight-thousand-year Thunder Roar Beast, he had not felt much pressure at all.

Considering this, Li Yuan could not help wanting to try it—to hunt a ten-thousand-year Tyrannosaurus Beast and obtain its spirit ring.

Having made his decision, Li Yuan did not waste much time. Early the next morning, accompanied by the beast brothers led by Juhua, he set out to hunt a Ten Thousand Year Tyrannosaurus Beast.

Of course, Li Yuan would be the only one actually fighting. Juhua and the others were mainly there to hold the line. Unless something unexpected happened, they would not intervene.

That was Li Yuan's decision as well. He had not spent those four years idly. Over those four years, it was not only his Soul Power that had improved—his strength and his control over Soul Power had improved considerably too.

After all, he had trained very hard over the past four years: one hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, one hundred squats, and a ten-kilometer run every day. Four years later, he had become stronger—and balder...

That was purely a joke. At the very least, Li Yuan definitely had not gone bald. Even if he had, he could use the Transformation Technique to grow hair.

Ahem. In short, he had cultivated very diligently over the past few years. Aside from the increase in Soul Power, his strength and his use of Soul Power had also improved greatly.

Do not let the fact that his Soul Power was only Level Thirty fool you. His actual combat strength was absolutely no weaker than that of an ordinary Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast.

Of course, compared to the several Spirit Beasts with more than Fifty Thousand Years of cultivation following behind him, there was still a huge gap. After all, Spirit Beasts over Fifty Thousand Years old possessed strength comparable to human Spirit Douluo. They were not easy opponents.

Still, though he could not defeat Spirit Beasts over Fifty Thousand Years old, Li Yuan remained very confident about dealing with a Tyrannosaurus Beast that was just over ten thousand years old.

"There, Xiao Yuan. The Tyrannosaurus Beast you wanted is up ahead. Go on by yourself."

The White Jade Mammoth swung its long trunk and spoke to Li Yuan in a muffled voice.

This was its territory. According to it, there was a ten-thousand-year Tyrannosaurus Beast beside its territory, and it should be somewhere nearby.
